Does INFJ TYPICALLY get Obsessed with thing?

I can't speak for others, but that is my default setting; I am very all-or-nothing.

 

Kinda noticed this behaviour with Dove too.

Yes, I'd say.

 

I get obsessed by people's motives I cannot understand.... among other things.

If someone says or does something nasty or nice that baffles me, I'll think about it all night.

 

like waterbaby said, I am very much all or nothing with almost everything. I also usually need an intense focus or interest of some kind. Without it I feel like I am floundering. The problem is my brain is indescriminate to what the focus will be, and some focuses are emotionally not very healthy for me in the long run.

 

in short, yes

 

My little sister likes to say that I "learn richly".

(And yes, I am also prone to obsessing over things that are unhealthy and drive me just a little insane)

 

When I was younger, very definitely. I can't remember the specifics, but I do recall getting very involved in whatever it was.
Nowadays, I tend to have minor obsessions: songs or words of the week, sometimes people in my life who I'm very fascinated with (it's more of wanting to connect, or understand them). I thought I was alone in this tendency, but I try very hard not to let it rule my life.

 

Yes. Yes. YES.

 

Yes! Especially when I was younger. I was completely engaged in so many different subjects, tornadoes and weather in general, astronomy, maps, spiders....
What helped was that I had a collection of encyclopedias and educational books that I had access to at home. Now I have the internet!

 

My family always jokes that I am obsessive. I am... When I want to try something new I go 100% into it and rip it apart and learn what its all about. If its noteworthy I usually keep it in my lfie for good, if not I can let it fall away but retain what is useful.

 

i've been obsessed with the same two things my whole life!

i also have lasting minor obsessions such as mirrors, labyrinths, dolls, invisibility, etc.

i also become temporarily obsessed from one week or month to another say with a song or novel.

 

Yes, but I tend to stick with things for a long time unlike my INFP friend who does a similar thing except he constantly throws himself into different things.

 

Yes to everything! YES!

/runs

several of my obsessions are : Art Nouveau, bell peppers, and japanese homoerotic manga. Then there's psychology, people's stupidity, and ruffles and laces. Then there's kimono, Victorian era, and group politics.

some aren't that obsessed. but.. others are moreso.

 

Yes Definitely for me.

 

yeah man same here
