Ixxx
1)I sometimes dk how to talk/write to say what I mean without explaining too much, misunderstanding, etc...
Sometimes I'm unable to say what I mean in words.

2)I can like both alone time & being with others, but as I'm a lil shy/socially anxious, some types of social situations or interacting with some ppl can decrease my energy level & make me tired.
In known or new situations, If the person (or a group/atmosphere,etc) is warm, or normal but friendly, comfy, talkative, cheerful, open, &...Idk...gives me good vibes, I find myself enjoying that person/them, wanting to spend time with them, receiving energy & joy from them & being me.
Otherwise, (If I feel that they probably don't like me, with serious ppl & with quiet or judgemental ppl, or in formal situations) I act cold & serious & being with them hurts/drains me.

3)I do like having me time, but sometimes I even join some classes to meet new ppl, & If I join a class or go somewhere & find no good friends there, I lose interest & going to that places becomes frustrating.

4)I sometimes love thinking about abstract ideas & metaphysical theories, etc in my head, & I sometimes enjoy talking about them with a like minded or impartial person, but I hate being active in debates. I'd rather keep my ideas for myself or just talk about them to similar minded ppl.
In debates, I act defensive & may break hearts & become heartbroken.

5)I have a hard time finding friends. I can act serious in some places, & have trust issue.

6)I enjoy being with family/close relatives more than friends. & sometimes, I skip my friends, just to spend more time with family/close relatives. I think I'm more comfy around them, can trust them more & can be "me" around them.
So sometimes my family members think I'm antisocial.

7)I usually communicate with ppl through activities (rather than conversations). Sometimes a real logical intellectual person can turn me on & make me interested by his great ideas, but I rarely open up to ppl that way. That's why I prefer S types more (as friends).

8)I enjoy trying new things, joining some new classes & learning new skills, esp with a good companion.

9)I enjoy having good friends (which I rarely have). I watch movies & see good friends & become jealous of them, but still haven't found the right friend/group.
Also, I realized that I do love having good friends & doing activities together, but I usually try not to be dependent & hate dependent friends who always ask for favors & need help or ask private questions.

10)I hate ppl who always want to do what u do, or buy what u buy.
I try to be original & hate it when some ppl want to do what I do.

11)I can write & talk to strangers on-line, but IRL I'm unable to talk about my emotions or ideas or what's in my mind with ppl. & I hate "we need to talk". & I have phobia of arguing.

12)I sometimes have difficulty saying "No" or standing up for myself. In those situation I start hating that person. I either avoid that person, act passive aggressive, or plot a revenge in my head. I may do it or just keep it to myself.

13)I'm really sensitive when it comes to ppl. I try to read between the lines, read their minds, care about their actions & body language, & analyze what they say. & I'm a true pessimist (paranoid).That's one of the reasons I hate socializing.

14)I can get eally nostalgic. About places, ppl, or events.
(Whenever my grandma/pa leaves our house I say things like ; yesterday this times s/he was here, she drank water with this glass, she told me this, came to this street, etc)

15)I also collect things that remind me of those memories, & try not to forget that event.
(I had a surgery & I collected everything I could from that day & tried to remember everything about that day.
I kinda knew it as a sacred memory that I shouldn't share it with all ppl.

16)When it comes to knowledge, skills, art, etc...I'd rather keep it to myself or share it with a few close ppl. What I know can be one of my secrets.

17)I wish I was popular, but I'm not. Popularity would give me energy,

18)I'm secretive.

19)I love learning new languages, cultures, travelling & new places.

20)I may love staying home after a busy day. But in normal days, I'm outdoorsy & energetic. Staying home makes me crazy. But I'd rather go out with family/close friends than alone (most of the times).

21)I love eating exotic food, playing sports, going to gym, etc

22)In classes, If I don't like the subject, I become distant & start daydreaming & become sleepy.

23)I prefer working alone to team work Cruz I want to do it my way, & I'm scared that others use me or I feel left out.

24)although I'm not really J, I get annoyed if Things don't go my way. I love to-do lists & I plan but not always go by it.

25) sometimes, I like to make friends, but I'm afraid that they use me or back stab me.

26)Irl, Idk how to hold a conversation & Idk what to talk about. But If I know the subject & like it, I can talk. But in general, I'm not a good story teller, esp around ppl I'm uncomfy with.

27)I have ocd & sometimes become mentally masochist.

28)when talking to ppl, I usually try to speak directly. I try not to make jokes or play pranks Cuz I don't want to annoy ppl. Unless I'm really comfy with that person.

29)I get offended easily.

30)Irl, I try to keep to myself. I'm awful at small talk & banter. When chatting, esp group chatting, I get stressed, confused & analyze everything. I'm not good at it & if ppl don't pay attention to me, I get offended & depressed.
So I try to stay away from it.

31)under stress, I become really anxious.
In acting, I'm an improviser, but In talking, I usually plan what I want to say.

32)I enjoy active & talkative ppl a lot. But If I don't like a place,I become quiet & detached.

33)As a kid, I was really active, didn't care about what others think or say, but at about age 14, I became Self consious & socially anxious & depressed. I wish I could change, I hate my life.

34)I'm agnostic.

35)I can't connect with ppl emotionally. & I'm so boring. Idk how to be funny. Idk how to have charisma & attract ppl. Most of the times, if we are 3 friends, I'm the one who is left out.

*****I know my post is too long, but I thought about my list a lot Cuz I really want to know the answers.

Also, I's it me or my shadow? I hate who I am.

Ask other questions if necessary.
Thanks.
 
ISFP, in how you write and what you focus on. I'm really bad at typing though, so don't take my word for it.
 
You could take a peek at this :)
http://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test-short-version

In this test I find it somewhat helpful to consider all answeres as though I met a NEW person (E or I), NEW information (S or N), a NEW descision (T or F), a NEW task (J or P) and lastly how I feel about myself.
Of course you would consider events that aren't new aswell, but we can get very comfortable with our lives, forgetting how we live.
 
Most of the times, if we are 3 friends, I'm the one who is left out. [...] I hate who I am.
Is it really a type you're in need of? I have a feeling what you need is support and love from someone in your surrounding.
If I could I would give you a hug and be your friend :hug:
...but I can't :boink:

Tell me, when did you feel proud of yourself lately?
 
To be totally honest, I find it is more instructive sometimes to directly mention what in each side you relate to, and also to note that the idea that the MBTI really fits into dichotomies is mostly invalidated by the research done into the instrument. It's more accurate to suggest there are 4 scales on which you can be more or less slanted to one direction.

This takes the sort of massive subjectivity out of people deciding the final answer between two sides -- it makes it more about learning new ideas and seeing how they interrelate, than about finding 1/16 to slap onto yourself. The MBTI type profiles do describe people quite well if they have clear preferences, though.
 
ISFJ, I think [MENTION=12737]infinium[/MENTION] is right.

Description of ISFJ. Read through this, skip the first two sentences.

Link on Guardians:
http://www.keirsey.com/4temps/guardian_overview.asp

Link to the best of Kiersey's books, in my opinion, Please Understand Me II.
https://www.scribd.com/doc/87644442/70/The-Guardian-Helpmate
Try reading pieces of this chapter. See if the information on Guardians seems like what you value and how you are.
Read the bolded headings and some sentences underneath them in this chapter "The Orientation of Guardians."

Also, it would be really helpful to read to page 93 on self-image
Read under the bolded title" Self-Esteem in Dependability"


1)I sometimes dk how to talk/write to say what I mean without explaining too much, misunderstanding, etc...
Sometimes I'm unable to say what I mean in words.

2)I can like both alone time & being with others, but as I'm a lil shy/socially anxious, some types of social situations or interacting with some ppl can decrease my energy level & make me tired.

Otherwise, (If I feel that they probably don't like me, with serious ppl & with quiet or judgemental ppl, or in formal situations) I act cold & serious & being with them hurts/drains me.

ISFJs need positive feedback from others. In the absence of positive feedback, or in the face of criticism, the ISFJ gets discouraged, and may even become depressed.



3)I do like having me time, but sometimes I even join some classes to meet new ppl, & If I join a class or go somewhere & find no good friends there, I lose interest & going to that places becomes frustrating.

4)I sometimes love thinking about abstract ideas & metaphysical theories, etc in my head, & I sometimes enjoy talking about them with a like minded or impartial person, but I hate being active in debates. I'd rather keep my ideas for myself or just talk about them to similar minded ppl.
In debates, I act defensive & may break hearts & become heartbroken.

5)I have a hard time finding friends. I can act serious in some places, & have trust issue.

6)I enjoy being with family/close relatives more than friends. & sometimes, I skip my friends, just to spend more time with family/close relatives. I think I'm more comfy around them, can trust them more & can be "me" around them.

8)I enjoy trying new things, joining some new classes & learning new skills, esp with a good companion.

Guardians like to play the social role of the helpmate. Doing things with another, helping others, enjoying together.

9)I enjoy having good friends (which I rarely have). I watch movies & see good friends & become jealous of them, but still haven't found the right friend/group.
Also, I realized that I do love having good friends & doing activities together, but I usually try not to be dependent & hate dependent friends who always ask for favors & need help or ask private questions.

10)I hate ppl who always want to do what u do, or buy what u buy.
I try to be original & hate it when some ppl want to do what I do.

11)I can write & talk to strangers on-line, but IRL I'm unable to talk about my emotions or ideas or what's in my mind with ppl. & I hate "we need to talk". & I have phobia of arguing.

From Kiersey's book, Please Understand Me II. https://www.scribd.com/doc/87644442/70/The-Guardian-Helpmate on Page 92

SJ's Time is Yesterday. SJ's do not focus on now.." "..SJs are more inclined to turn their thoughts to yesterday, to look fondly upon the good old days.."

16)When it comes to knowledge, skills, art, etc...I'd rather keep it to myself or share it with a few close ppl. What I know can be one of my secrets.

17)I wish I was popular, but I'm not. Popularity would give me energy.

This makes me think Guardian, the SJ's, because SJ's feel self-confident when they are well respected. They would feel hurt if someone damaged their reputation more than other types. SJ's also yearn for belonging. Unlike Artisans, SP's, who yearn to have an impact on the world, in society. Or Idealists , NF's, who yearn for romance.

18)I'm secretive.


19)I love learning new languages, cultures, travelling & new places.

"ISFJs have a rich inner world that is not usually obvious to observers. "

20)I may love staying home after a busy day. But in normal days, I'm outdoorsy & energetic. Staying home makes me crazy. But I'd rather go out with family/close friends than alone (most of the times).

21)I love eating exotic food, playing sports, going to gym, etc

22)In classes, If I don't like the subject, I become distant & start daydreaming & become sleepy.

23)I prefer working alone to team work Cruz I want to do it my way, & I'm scared that others use me or I feel left out.

24)although I'm not really J, I get annoyed if Things don't go my way. I love to-do lists & I plan but not always go by it.

If you love to-do lists, I would say J. I love them as well, J's like to plan and make lists. Two of the P's I am close with hate to write things that they have to do down on paper.

25) sometimes, I like to make friends, but I'm afraid that they use me or back stab me.
Makes me think Guardian. They value being concerned. And their preoccupation is morality. Asking lots of questions like, Is this person using me? Is what this person doing morally right?

26)Irl, Idk how to hold a conversation & Idk what to talk about. But If I know the subject & like it, I can talk. But in general, I'm not a good story teller, esp around ppl I'm uncomfy with.

27)I have ocd & sometimes become mentally masochist.

28)when talking to ppl, I usually try to speak directly. I try not to make jokes or play pranks Cuz I don't want to annoy ppl. Unless I'm really comfy with that person.

29)I get offended easily.

30)Irl, I try to keep to myself. I'm awful at small talk & banter. When chatting, esp group chatting, I get stressed, confused & analyze everything. I'm not good at it & if ppl don't pay attention to me, I get offended & depressed.
So I try to stay away from it.

31)under stress, I become really anxious.
In acting, I'm an improviser, but In talking, I usually plan what I want to say.

32)I enjoy active & talkative ppl a lot. But If I don't like a place,I become quiet & detached.




33)As a kid, I was really active, didn't care about what others think or say, but at about age 14, I became Self consious & socially anxious & depressed. I wish I could change, I hate my life.

"When down on themselves or under great stress, the ISFJ begins to imagine all of the things that might go critically wrong in their life. They have strong feelings of inadequacy, and become convinced that "everything is all wrong", or "I can't do anything right".


34)I'm agnostic.

35)I can't connect with ppl emotionally. & I'm so boring. Idk how to be funny. Idk how to have charisma & attract ppl. Most of the times, if we are 3 friends, I'm the one who is left out.

*****I know my post is too long, but I thought about my list a lot Cuz I really want to know the answers.

I agree with ISFJ.


1)I sometimes dk how to talk/write to say what I mean without explaining too much, misunderstanding, etc...
Sometimes I'm unable to say what I mean in words.

ISFJs tend to be highly analytical, and most often are very cautious with their words before they speak (especially things of an emotional nature, b/c 1) confrontation is a learned skill and doesn't come naturally 2) speaking our mind is a learned skill as we can be too preoccupied with hurting others with our words.

2)I can like both alone time & being with others, but as I'm a lil shy/socially anxious, some types of social situations or interacting with some ppl can decrease my energy level & make me tired.
In known or new situations, If the person (or a group/atmosphere,etc) is warm, or normal but friendly, comfy, talkative, cheerful, open, &...Idk...gives me good vibes, I find myself enjoying that person/them, wanting to spend time with them, receiving energy & joy from them & being me.
Otherwise, (If I feel that they probably don't like me, with serious ppl & with quiet or judgemental ppl, or in formal situations) I act cold & serious & being with them hurts/drains me.

3)I do like having me time, but sometimes I even join some classes to meet new ppl, & If I join a class or go somewhere & find no good friends there, I lose interest & going to that places becomes frustrating.

4)I sometimes love thinking about abstract ideas & metaphysical theories, etc in my head, & I sometimes enjoy talking about them with a like minded or impartial person, but I hate being active in debates. I'd rather keep my ideas for myself or just talk about them to similar minded ppl.
In debates, I act defensive & may break hearts & become heartbroken.

ISFJs DO NOT debate or argue for fun. We see it as negative and a drain on ourselves. We enjoy sharing and learning of information, not beating each other down.

5)I have a hard time finding friends. I can act serious in some places, & have trust issue.

Give it time. I had a difficult time finding friends when I was your age as well. In getting older your age range for friendships increases, thus increasing your ability to find quality friends.

6)I enjoy being with family/close relatives more than friends. & sometimes, I skip my friends, just to spend more time with family/close relatives. I think I'm more comfy around them, can trust them more & can be "me" around them.
So sometimes my family members think I'm antisocial.

7)I usually communicate with ppl through activities (rather than conversations). Sometimes a real logical intellectual person can turn me on & make me interested by his great ideas, but I rarely open up to ppl that way. That's why I prefer S types more (as friends).

I think it is more that ISFJs tend to be slow cookers. Once you've spent enough time with someone and develop trust/respect you will open up more.

8)I enjoy trying new things, joining some new classes & learning new skills, esp with a good companion.

... when the majority of people think we are hooked on Betty Crocker. lol

9)I enjoy having good friends (which I rarely have). I watch movies & see good friends & become jealous of them, but still haven't found the right friend/group.
Also, I realized that I do love having good friends & doing activities together, but I usually try not to be dependent & hate dependent friends who always ask for favors & need help or ask private questions.

10)I hate ppl who always want to do what u do, or buy what u buy.
I try to be original & hate it when some ppl want to do what I do.

Not sure if this is an ISFJ thing, but I share the same sentiment. I enjoy people who are able to develop their own sense of self.

11)I can write & talk to strangers on-line, but IRL I'm unable to talk about my emotions or ideas or what's in my mind with ppl. & I hate "we need to talk". & I have phobia of arguing.

Again, ISFJs avoid confrontation. At the same time, this is a life skill you will need to learn; otherwise you will not be able to advocate for yourself and your needs effectively.

12)I sometimes have difficulty saying "No" or standing up for myself. In those situation I start hating that person. I either avoid that person, act passive aggressive, or plot a revenge in my head. I may do it or just keep it to myself.

I learned to start saying No around age 35. As long as you continue to say yes, they will continue to ask. This is all about learning to set your boundaries and learning that you do actually have a choice.

13)I'm really sensitive when it comes to ppl. I try to read between the lines, read their minds, care about their actions & body language, & analyze what they say. & I'm a true pessimist (paranoid).That's one of the reasons I hate socializing.

This is very ISFJ. Identifying patterns in behavior is what we do. MOST people will say that ISFJs are naturally paranoid, and I have to agree that we are. At the same time, I believe we are paranoid b/c we see red flags that others do not. We don't always have to know why, but it's more of detecting inconsistencies. Learn to ask or talk to others, as it could also be a misunderstanding/miscommunication.

14)I can get eally nostalgic. About places, ppl, or events.
(Whenever my grandma/pa leaves our house I say things like ; yesterday this times s/he was here, she drank water with this glass, she told me this, came to this street, etc)

15)I also collect things that remind me of those memories, & try not to forget that event.
(I had a surgery & I collected everything I could from that day & tried to remember everything about that day.
I kinda knew it as a sacred memory that I shouldn't share it with all ppl.

16)When it comes to knowledge, skills, art, etc...I'd rather keep it to myself or share it with a few close ppl. What I know can be one of my secrets.

Very few people IRL understand our true depth. That part of us is heavily guarded.

17)I wish I was popular, but I'm not. Popularity would give me energy,

Perhaps not popular, but maybe more noticed for the things you do (b/c you'll continue to do them without acknowledgement. Because of this, you tend to acknowledge your friends successes, etc often.

18)I'm secretive.

You mean others think you are secretive, but they have no idea that they just have to earn your trust more in order for you to open up.

19)I love learning new languages, cultures, travelling & new places.

We love humanity, yes.

20)I may love staying home after a busy day. But in normal days, I'm outdoorsy & energetic. Staying home makes me crazy. But I'd rather go out with family/close friends than alone (most of the times).

21)I love eating exotic food, playing sports, going to gym, etc

22)In classes, If I don't like the subject, I become distant & start daydreaming & become sleepy.

23)I prefer working alone to team work Cruz I want to do it my way, & I'm scared that others use me or I feel left out.

I was the same. It's only b/c you know that when you take on a task in which you feel serious you will give it 100%, while others might not. You trust yourself.

24)although I'm not really J, I get annoyed if Things don't go my way. I love to-do lists & I plan but not always go by it.

25) sometimes, I like to make friends, but I'm afraid that they use me or back stab me.

26)Irl, Idk how to hold a conversation & Idk what to talk about. But If I know the subject & like it, I can talk. But in general, I'm not a good story teller, esp around ppl I'm uncomfy with.

27)I have ocd & sometimes become mentally masochist.

28)when talking to ppl, I usually try to speak directly. I try not to make jokes or play pranks Cuz I don't want to annoy ppl. Unless I'm really comfy with that person.

29)I get offended easily.

30)Irl, I try to keep to myself. I'm awful at small talk & banter. When chatting, esp group chatting, I get stressed, confused & analyze everything. I'm not good at it & if ppl don't pay attention to me, I get offended & depressed.
So I try to stay away from it.

31)under stress, I become really anxious.
In acting, I'm an improviser, but In talking, I usually plan what I want to say.

32)I enjoy active & talkative ppl a lot. But If I don't like a place,I become quiet & detached.

33)As a kid, I was really active, didn't care about what others think or say, but at about age 14, I became Self consious & socially anxious & depressed. I wish I could change, I hate my life.

34)I'm agnostic.

35)I can't connect with ppl emotionally. & I'm so boring. Idk how to be funny. Idk how to have charisma & attract ppl. Most of the times, if we are 3 friends, I'm the one who is left out.

LOL, I was always the 3rd wheel.
