    Lack of acceptance from ESTJ parents?

    Hey, Have any of you experienced a lack of acceptance or understanding from possibly ESTJ parents? It seems to me that my mother, who seems to display most of the negative ESTJ tendancies along with a lot of the positive, has never understood, and thus never accepted, me for who I really am...

    Using terms of endearment in relationships

    For those of you in intimate relationships; partners, married, engaged, whatever, what terms of endearment, if any, do you use with each other and why? Chenoa

    Brandon Sanderson?

    Has anyone read any Brandon Sanderson? So far, I really liked Warbreaker and I'm on the second book of the Mistborn series. From what I've read, everything he writes is really good. Any thoughts?

    Louisa May Alcott?

    So, anybody like her or her books? If so, has anyone ever tried to type her characters? I think that Meg in Little Women might have been an INFJ, although she could have been an ISFJ, and Beth could be a really martyred INFP. Jo might be an ISTP and Amy an ESFP. Any thoughts?

    Any social workers, potential or otherwise, out there?

    Awww! Thanks! It's just something I think everyone in that field and others related to it should take it as seriously as possible. I think some workers get stressed out and just forget that they just told the client they're currently venting about that they wouldn't repeat anything abouth them...

    Any social workers, potential or otherwise, out there?

    Hi. I was just wondering, since I'm really cautious about my future professional career, about the ethics involved. I was just wondering, out of curiosity, if it is still within ethical guidelines to tell us that much information about your client or does it not matter since we don't know...

    INFPs: Being reserved and needing space

    I am reserved and seem to constantly need my own space. If I don't get it often enough or if the people around me are putting too much of an emotional drain on me, I tend to disconect and withdraw. Luckily, my introverted brother and stepdad understood this growing up, but my ESFJ? mom just...

    Any social workers, potential or otherwise, out there?

    Thanks for the replies, y'all! I've decided to work with either refugees or low-income families. I think as long as I minimize the time the paperwork takes and still keep it informative and coherent, that might work out. I'll also need to make sure I don't take any of my work home with me...

    INFP vs. INFJ: A Functional Analysis

    Very informative. I really identify with most of the INFP stuff, especially about relating to people and dealing with stress.

    Married people or Engaged people only: What MBTI did YOU pick?

    I'm engaged to an ISFP. I like how's he's more concrete and practical than me. He's spontaneous and likes to party and joke around most of the time, but he can definitely be serious when he wants to. He's accepting of most kinds of people as long as he thinks they're basically good and decent...

    Gender Roles

    Hey, I was wondering if you could clarify a little. What are some examples of stereotypes you agree with and why? That being said, I agree that there seems to be more societal emphasis on fitting into a prescribed role based putely on gender. Where does this leave someone who is transgender...

    INFJs and Violence

    This is a cool and interesting topic, one I've wondered about and thought about posting about but wasn't sure how. Now I don't have to! Yay! I've had a fair amount of exposure to violence groing up. I've been through three of my mom's four divorces and all of them involved some level of...

    "I hate people." Why people say it/you say it?

    When I say that I hate people, I usually mean it, at least for a while. But it's not really people as individuals that I hate. It's the endless number of weaknesses like an absolute lack of anything remotely resembling intelligence or common sense, and a habitual inability to apply themselves...
