    Dream interpretation

    I don't think this irl; I'm the first to admit I don't know anything about a topic. But in the dream, I felt it with such a strong conviction, as if I always thought that way. Maybe I was anxious, and imagined a bigger gap between failure and expectation than in reality?

    How do you know if a type likes you? (funny)

    Same here! I thought I was strange for doing this to someone I liked, so I guess I'm happy I'm not the only one? Though I wouldn't wish this behavior on anyone. It's terrible! I always become a lot more distant and icy, as if I don't like the person, even though inside, I'm squealing and...

    English by non-native speakers

    The hard work makes our success all worth it in the end. Your English is really good, and you should be proud of that! Good luck with your journey to improve it!

    English by non-native speakers

    I can relate to your troubles! I tried reading a lot of literature in school, taking the hardest classes, and going online to find some movies in order to expand my English. I also visited English-speaking countries. Like you, I also had trouble being more poetic in English, so I made myself...

    Dream interpretation

    I had a dream where I was told to read a passage from Hamlet out loud and mispronounced every other word in front of all my classmates...my English teacher was trying to be encouraging but I was just so tired and I didn't want to do this and my mouth was not working with my brain. All my...

    An INFP or a Depressed INFJ?

    wingedfriend So just to confirm: directing is the style that comes most naturally for you? That should narrow things down a bit, then.

    An INFP or a Depressed INFJ?

    So there are bits of truth in these, lol! I think that people who are the same type can act a little differently, too. Types are tricky that way.

    An INFP or a Depressed INFJ?

    Lol, this is really funny! I can kind of identify with the INFJ impersonation, though it's pretty generalized and so not really accurate; what about you and the INFP one?

    An INFP or a Depressed INFJ?

    wingedfriend I read your posts again and am now doubting myself. Agh, I know this must be frustrating for you! While I stew and re-reevaluate my opinions, maybe this will help? INFJs and INFPs have different interaction styles, so it might be helpful to read on that and see which side of...

    An INFP or a Depressed INFJ?

    Here are my thoughts, and I hope this helps wingedfriend. I think to get the most accurate reading, you should do some research on your own and reflect. You know yourself much better than any of us do, and I'm sure you'll figure out what MBTI you are! Okay, so some of the things you wrote...

    An INFP or a Depressed INFJ?

    wingedfriend That might help, but I'm not trained to be a MBTI practioneer, so take my opinions about how your childhood reflected your personality with a grain of salt. But I'd be happy to try and help as best as I could! Anyone else out in the big wide world with thoughts about this?

    Who are you to yourself?

    I liked this quiz a lot, lol. Best questions, hands down. You Are Proud of Who You Are You see yourself as a creative and expressive person. You're very artistic. You think other people see you as kind, gentle, and cooperative. You try to be helpful. You want to see yourself as...

    What's your productivity style?

    You Are a Creative Like everyone else, you have a to-do list...but you don't always prioritize getting around to it. You are productive as your spirit moves you to be. Sometimes this means crossing off a lot of items on your list, but other times it means doing something else entirely. You do...

    An INFP or a Depressed INFJ?

    Yes, definitely. I haven't researched much about functions under stress, but from what I've read, the inferior function plays a part. Maybe you could look at inferior Se vs. inferior Te under stress? Hope this helps!

    An INFP or a Depressed INFJ?

    Oh, I remember searching up a lot of stuff about the differences between INFP and INFJ. Just remember, it's not merely a question about J or P preference, but a question of which of these very different combinations of cognitive functions resonates with you the most. Here, I'll link an old...
