Awkward situations

Yeah I can relate to that. I try not to let it bother me though and just go the pleasant but quiet route until it passes. I get those funny feelings when people are feeling one way but acting another. It's uncomfortable and it's tempting to want to blame myself for it somehow but I've learned that is not a good thing to do. It is definitely a different wavelength as you were saying.

 

Very much so, this is one of the reason I'm so protective actually, the fear of rejection. It's almost as if the intuition scares some people.

 

SH, that's a very interesting point. I never thought about that before. Though, in my experience, I'll say something intuitive, they won't get the rational behind it and my comments are disregarded and I'm ignored. My BFF is the only person whose come back and been like "you were totally right" or "I'm starting to see why you said that, though it seemed really off at the time".

 

*gasp*
what do you mean she's the only one???

 

Big problem here. I can't be completely natural with people I don't know yet - my intuition picks up signs of what they are as people and often find myself acting the way they seem to be the most comfortable with/the more appreciative of (to a certain extent), and end up filtering what I say, my body language, etc. Most of the time it's not even that counscious.

Obviously then I tend to avoid the people that don't seem to be able to understand me, and I get more and more natural with time with the ones who accept me. But I need this feeling that they accept me as I am to allow myself to just not care about how I act. Sometimes I envy brash people.

 

Ha thats funny. I met a girl my first week of college and I am pretty sure is an INFJ. She is very quiet and even when I tried to have a 1-1 conversation with her she was very subdued and seemed to be filtering... but then I will occasionally hear her say a hilariously dark remark at the most random moments (like something seeped past the filter) I dont think other people even notice these but I always laugh to myself

 

Ah! That was me!!

Ok, prob not, but that's me all the time!

Oh, inkling, um, well . . . you too . . . actually, yeah, you too. I suppose Dad does, now, especially since I've seen things he hasn't . . . And Bethany back in the day . . .
let's just say "a small number".

Sorry babe!
