You Know You're An INFJ When....

When you're reading or spacing in a public place, and patrons realize that you are not a manikin as you look up, and you bust them out-right staring at you.

Hahahahahaha.... yep. :D

When you realise that someone just walked near to you, and you were thinking so loudly that for a moment you feel like they might have heard you.

Oh now this is wonderful to see. Glad I'm not the only one.... :w:
 
You know you're an INFJ when you find you subconsciously feel like you already don't fit into or belong in an INFJ forum...(of all things!!!)...even though you haven't really posted or engaged much yet.

I felt that way too at first. Relax. You are in good company.

This is interesting. Sitting \ standing thinking and people doing double takes either when they walk by or look at you. Sometimes, I really wonder if I am not projecting thoughts. If I am left alone to my own devices too long I can really think so hard so times its almost uncomfortable later...like brain strain.

For better or for worse, at times getting lost in thought comes so naturally that I literally have to remind myself to see the things that my eyes are pointed at.

I'm incredibly guilty of this. Often when I read a book in a noisy or crowded space, I end up spacing out and just staring through the pages for minutes on end because I can't help but listen to what's going on around me. Then I realize I'm thinking/listening and not reading, and I have to force myself to actually read.

When people tell you you're too nice to be funny.
I can never affect seriousness when saying something I think would be mean for a joke. I'm always laughing and say 'just kidding' immediately afterward. One of my friends said the above to me before and I tried to explain how I don't want someone to think I actually mean something I say for a joke, even for those few seconds he calls, 'comedic timing.' I just can't take it.

Or when your coworkers note that you're the only one that ever actually hears them talking to themselves.

When you enjoy watching other people play video games rather than play them yourself.
This mostly applies to games that scare me. I find the story intriguing and want to know what happens in the end, but I get too anxious to actually progress. Like, my hands will shake when I try not to die, which causes me to die. Even when I tell myself that it's just a game, and if I die I can go back to a saved checkpoint or whatever, I'm still no good. So when somebody else plays I get to experience the story without stressing or hindering it, and I also get to experience the other person enjoying the game.
 
You know you are an INFJ when you say something and the way it comes out is a deeper expression of something. You realize it and suddenly are overtaken with feeling bad and awkward to yourself. It happened to me today and It made me cry until I searched for where and why it really came from and then with the understanding, I could have mercy for myself and see the hidden reason and truth of why it even came out a certain way. I will use this information for my future and for the good of those I love. Sound cryptic? Yep.
That's my INFJ ness I guess.

...you remember a person from years ago but they have no idea who you are.

...you get really angry seeing a child alone in a store and watch them from afar until you see a parent come to make sure they aren't kidnapped.

...making friends with little kids but then getting annoyed when they follow you around.

...being in a group of friends and not speaking, then after awhile people notice that you're there and ask why you didn't say hi.

...wondering what bugs think of you. Especially when they get in your hair and you wonder if they think you smell good.

...hiding from your crush even though he already saw you. (that shit is scary)

...crying when you see something really beautiful.


I don't know if this stuff is just me, but I wanted to share! :)

When your coworker finally spins completely out of control, leaving horrible, dangerous messes to be cleaned up, and you're the calmest one in the office, because you saw it coming months ago, and already went through the frustration/disillusionment/disgust/acceptance process. And realized that vacations are a fantasy for months to come.
 
When you think so intensely about something for hours and then become brain dead to anything else. That happened to this girl this morning. I was thinking so hard since early this morning that I came to work and forgot how to do something I do every day. That is so not like me at all!!! I guess that's what a brain overload will do to ya.
 
When you have a best friend you are very loyal and accept him or her for who he is, but when he crosses your line, you forgive him. And if he still crosses it, you just pack your bags and leave this worthless realtionship
 
your description of how you feel on a particular subject that was painted with fluttery analogies and great metaphors is given a reply with less than two words.

When you just talk to your extroverted friend for one hour, then crash the rest of the afternoon sleeping.

I do this all the time... Only I am dating an extrovert. He gets so frustrated with me because I sleep quite a lot... Sleep is good.... Sleep is very good indeed.... ;)
