HI Misty, the therapy I received afterwards has made such a big positive improvement to my life that, although I would not wish the experience on anyone, it has left me as a more balanced person with a better perspective on life in general. :)...Silver linings

This was not meant as an attack on you or your experiences.

This is my favourite thing today!!!

I do have PTSD, but it was because of almost dying from blood loss after surgery, so in this scenario it can not really be taken as confirmation of this theory.

I completely agree, INFJ makes for a relatively lonely, misunderstood childhood. Maybe that is why we tend to combine creative and mundane things in our work life and why so many of us are writers, because of all that enforced "me-time". I have not met another INFJ in person and have not really...

Hi there...now you have met one ;)

You could not be more right!!!

Hi there, I completely get what you are saying and I am so sorry about what you went through! I think I probably need to clarify, I do not really mean that it happens as an adult, I think it may happen as a child. I think in my case, I feel that I understood more than I had the emotional skills...

OK, I am new to the terminology, and new to INFJ (in terms of knowing it). So I may need a bit of translation Ren, Fe Fi and Ni are more periodic table elements to me ;)

I am not sure why you are being so combative? I do not see this as an attack on INTPs, since as far as I can tell, most INFJs have so far seemed to indicate that they get along with INTPs. I think all of this is falling into the trap of generalising a whole group when you may have not gotten...

Yes, I mainly think that it happens during childhood. I think that I became more closed off and find that people often misjudge who I am, because I do not show much feeling on my face as a result, so they find me difficult to read. I tend to hear that old chestnut "when I met you I thought xxx...

I think that in terms of science 'fact', people think these are facts, where people in the sciences (like me) are taught that we have theories based on the best currently available data and that as this data changes, we adjust the theories and test them until we get close enough to a credible...

Do you think that INFJs share so little of ourselves, because we are perceptive and when we see people feel a certain way, but then act or say things that do not match that it makes us uncomfortable and trust them less? And as such do not feel comfortable sharing because we feel they will not be...

If you tell an INFJ that you you have feelings for them, they will say it back if that is how they feel. He said he wants to be just friends and you should take him at his word. Remember we tend to be people pleasers, so telling you that would have been hard. He is also perceptive, so he is...
