    The INFJ's Unusually Rich Inner Life

    I totally understand the random bursts of love...when on random days you're so happy that you suddenly love everything and (almost) everyone and all's right with the world...ahhhh. How I miss those times! They've been fewer and further between lately. *Sigh*

    How does an INFJ show interest?

    1. How would you try to catch the eye of another person? I try not to make too much of an effort and just be my sweet normal self. 2. How would you respond if they tried to catch your eye? Avoid, avoid, avoid. Strange but true. Someone trying to catch my interest almost feels like they're...

    Dating and INFJs

    It does wear on ya after a while. Honestly, though, I rarely meet men whose company I prefer to a good book. Harsh, but true. I am more of a homebody, although in recent months, I've made great strides in being more social. It's just frustrating when I do meet a man I'm interested in, very...

    Dating and INFJs

    Thanks for the kind words, CokeNut. Don't get me wrong..I think I'm gorgeous. Some days I can't stop staring at myself in the mirror. And quite frankly, I'm baffled by the fact that guys aren't that into me in general. So I think the difference must be in the perception, and that most American...

    Dating and INFJs

    :? Shai-- I'm not the person you're thinking about. I'm decidedly black (African-American, as they say over here) and look NOTHING like the woman from 3rd Rock, LOL! :D As for working off the fat, I'm hot right now! ;)

    Dating and INFJs

    Thank goodness I only have brothers who helped me develop a thick skin long ago. Sheesh. ;) Otherwise I might be crouching in a corner right now....

    Dating and INFJs

    I'm actually not that insecure about who I am as a person, except in one area--my looks. A lot of it stems from the fact that I'm usually the only person of my race for miles around and my race is about as far on the other side of the spectrum from American beauty standards. Add that to the...

    To Be or Not to Be... a Procrastinator

    I know! I don't understand it either...

    Okay, Lurker. I suppose you can have a rich inner life, too... :P

    To Be or Not to Be... a Procrastinator

    I am...it's one of my biggest flaws. I even procrastinate on pleasurable things (I guess I'm trying to prolong the pleasure by extending the anticipation). I'm leaving for a weeklong backpacking trip in about 5 days. I'm really excited to go, but is all my stuff ready? No. Do I still have some...

    OMG...having a perfectionist moment...can't believe I spelled "weird' incorrectly! Okay, back to your regularly scheduled thread, LOL!

    The INFJ's Unusually Rich Inner Life

    Many of the INFJ type summaries I've read usually reference the INFJ's typically rich inner life. If your MBT is INFJ, what's your earliest recollection of having thoughts that weren't quite ordinary? I only ask because I remember thinking, at seven years old, that perhaps I was really the only...

    Baffled by...

    Looking out for number one is, I believe, a concept that is utterly foreign to most INFJs. I personally can't understand it in other people. The problem for many INFJs is in being selective about who you put first, because there are those who will recognize our giving nature as a weakness...
