Whiskers: Food for thought. Thanks!! QuietlyBrilliant: Thanks for posting! I was beginning to feel like a freak until I read your post. Everything you wrote resonates with me and feels good. I do have a tendency to analyze vs. embrace my natural tendencies. And I've found, that I also thrive in...

That's always a good thing. I think people should be more open and aware of things to affirm and praise. Spread the love oh yeaaa :)

Your words remind me of a song I love, by Incubus, and it goes: So don't let the world bring you down. Not everyone here is that f*cked up and cold. Remember why you came and while you're alive experience the warmth before you go. And you know, bit by bit I'm experiencing this. I've met some...

Oh my gosh, Big hug!! I think I might write this down and hold a meeting with my family to declare to them who I am and my right to be that way. I completely understand your response to grief. My great-grandmother passed away some time ago, and we were incredibly close. Yet, while the rest of...

Lol Good point. The irony was not lost on me. ;) Yet, what is the nature of healthy affirmation or recognition? I'm never a affirmation-monger, and in fact, I find people become dependent on me for this...to boost their mood or ego or to just feel valued. Yet, I'm always wondering what's...

That's cool!! :) Nice to know I'm in good company.

I think I fall for a mix of these! I want it all ;) But he's gotta be smart.

Lol Greenie too. I wasn't even gonna post my results, but once I saw that nearly eeeeeveryone is Green, I figured I'd join in ;) P.s. I'm very non-spatially oriented and not good with my hands. But everything else is right, esp. about the holistic-ness, big picture thinking and intuitiveness.

Your Dark Element is Water You are a peaceful and solitary person. You truly enjoy spending time alone. You take time for reflection and...

Hello INFJ Sisteren and Bretheren :) I have a question: Do you believe the INFJ desire or need for affirmation/recognition is dysfunctional? I ask because I was reading the INFJ profile on one of my favorite MBTI sites. It states that INFJs require positive affirmations in order to feel...

I can relate to this. The guy is hilarious too, very solid as a person- committed, dedicated, perserverant. I don't know that we have a mutual understanding of each other, this must be nice! :) We're always clashing, but it's some kind of magnetic, complimentary pull. We also argue or disagree a...

Yea, I can understand that too. A guy I'm "talking" to now is an ISTJ and I'm not ruling him out because we have so much fun, and there are other factors that shape his personality that make him slightly more 'colorful' than the typical ISTJ. But he's definitely intimidating. My sister when she...

Hi Dneecey, so glad you're still active on the boards!! Wow, so you guys aren't together but are friends. I'm sure you're proud of your friendship, as am I with my ex. Not all people in their relationships- compatible MBTI or not- can say the same. So yea, I intend to be on here and post a lot...

Omg, so true. ISTJs attract me like magnets! because their Fi is like a gem to be unearthed. And once you experience an ISTJ's love, it's so intense when compared with how distant and objectively impersonal they can be. It feels like falling into a vat of warm gooey fudge! Yummmm!

Omg!!! I forgot to respond to this thread. So sorry guys. I know it's years later, and I'm not sure where I disappeared to, but thank you for your thoughtful, heartfelt replies and here are my responses: ShanniShannon- Yes, it was very healing for him to confirm that we desire different...
