Thanks! I hope so, too, though I'm not always great at sticking to things :)

Anyone who doesn't like making lists ain't INFJ. Just sayin.

Oh my gosh, you are me!! When I got out of school, I worked tirelessly at my job, and I would come home exhausted from extraverting all day and not have the energy to do the friend thing. And since you have an ESTP man, you must be drained. I totally get it. But it's SO important to not give up...

Been there! I feel for you. It's difficult when you are in your 20s and you're seeing everything through the long-term lens (especially because you're an INFJ). "Could I put up with this person for the rest of my life?" "What if I make the wrong decision and I'm trapped forever??" I think INFJs...

Great list! One thing I personally discovered after 10 years of working is that I just would never be fulfilled by my career--like not even 70% or 80%. I don't really want to go back to school to become a professional, office culture is incredibly frustrating for me, and jobs that don't require...

omg can i rewind ten years ago and you can be my roommate??

I'm pretty sensitive to weather as I am to anything that distracts me from my internal processing time! Personally I hate the cold. I hate cold air blowing on me and I hate shivering. I can't turn inward and do my Ni thing when that's happening. I'm from Chicago but lived in Kenya for a year...

THIS I am finally learning!

Yep, forget her. My first boyfriend was ISFX and more than 10 years after I ended the relationship he was still professing his love to me. I think he is married now and would probably dump his wife in a heartbeat if I said I wanted to get back together with him. It's sick and unfair to the other...

So true. For me it was clinging to beliefs about human nature that were more compatible with fantasy than real life. I couldn't live in the world anymore until I let those beliefs go. Now I am for the first time in a long time happy (and by happy I mean not suicidal). I am still an emotional...

I think I was most creative as a kid when falling asleep. I would dream up a world, like maybe a really fun waterpark, to explore as I drifted off to sleep. Then the next morning I would try to recreate that world with my toys. I still do this as an adult, but usually about more realistic...

Is it possible for INFJs to have satisfying friendships without getting deep and intense? And how the hell do you do it? I recently lost one of the two good friends I had in the world (she's an ENFP and flaked out on me one too many times so I shut her out after I told her what I needed and she...

When I was still on Celexa, I would have told you that I needed it to function. Now that I am off of it I realize how horrible it was. It was preventing me from feeling my emotions, which is what I thought I wanted. I hated my feelings because they were so strong. And yet after 5 years on...
