I'm guessing that's another INFJ paradox--being kind and compassionate to most people but able to dish out a heaping helping of karma to those who truly deserve it. Reminds me of a prank a friend and I almost pulled. My friend was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension (a disease that affects...

I already knew "acquaintanceship" is a real word. Did anyone ever watch the TV show King of the Hill? Peggy Hill won her state Boggle championship using this word. If it was on a TV show it must be legit.

I agree, it is a duality. If there's any shame involved it's not about my appearance so much as the fact that I care about it as much as I do. For myself, I just want to present my appearance with a certain aesthetic that is a reflection of my inner self. But if it's anything less than what...

I will give your suggestions a try. Thank you for the encouragement!
