Sociopathic.
lol.
I am nice though.
When I was a teenager, someone called me psycho as a nickname because I liked horror movies and came up with short stories that scared him. I would've rathered he wouldn't have.

I've been described as smart by my teachers many times consistently (even by my senior pastor, who is a very respected INTJ philosopher and theologian in our city, so...it must be true I guess?!?). Wacky also, or "a idiot".
Other words are : weird (by my ESTP brother, but he also likes me alot!), different, calm, contemplative, intimidating, weak willed, naive, lazzy, "from another planet", dreamy, pleasant, funny, irresponsable, lost in my own world and so on...
Goddamn Awesome.
hmmm...next time show them the picture from your avatar, I'm sure they will change their opinion
Do you think its true that you are a sociopath?
If no, why do you think people are calling you a sociopath...why they have this impression?
How I look has nothing to do with it.
It's mostly that I have a hard time conjuring up any kind of empathy for other people. While I can understand how people feel, I do not share in those feelings and more often than not do not care about them. It's not necessarily that I want anyone to feel bad, it's just that if they do I don't feel anything about it.
I have small slivers of myself that relate to other people but for the most part I just don't feel much for other people and their situations. So, it's not malicious, I am just indifferent and I think that people have called me sociopathic for that indifference and confuse not caring with malice.
I find it funny how many people describe INFJs as "mature", at every two posts in this thread.
Ironiclaly, INFJs are very very immature. The ones that play the "deep" persona, are even more immature then the others INFJs. yet people call INFJs mature! Of course, it depends of what people are we talking about. You wouldn't expect from a ESTJ to call and name a INFJ mature. He will look at the "deep" INFJ, laugh with kindness, and say to him: "You need to stop being a child. You need to become a adult"...
to which the INFJ will reply..."I don't think you understand. I am "deep". I see things. I have that freakish Introverted Intuition, the lioness of all cognitive functions. I can woo you with my understanding, you will lost yourself inside my mind, in my intricate way of thinking. I think far far away, in the past and in the future, I look at the causes of things, my thinking easly flyes to the eternal. My thinking is like a eagle that you can never catch, I roar the skies of knowledge. You are a child, ESTJ. Grow up, you can never understand me, because I am far superior in thinking!"
To which the ESTJ will laugh again with understanding, and say to the INFJ ..."Still, you need to grow up, or you will remain a child for the rest of your life. One of us is right. I know I am, and I can prove it to you if you stay around me for a while!"
I'm consistently described in terms of certain people: ryan gosling, Matthew mcconaghey, Channing Tatum, etc.
Me too, we actualySee here is where you and me differ
I see diversity as a strength
I think different personality types all bring something to the colourful mix that is humanity
I think you are using very far away from the truth words.But YOU see INFJ's as an abnormality that must be cured
Muir, pardon me, but lyou make me laugh by your silly attempts to suggest that I don't know what it means to be a INFJ, because I am not one.You seem threatened by their way of thinking because it seems alien to you
Ugh, I guess these type of things happen only in some crazy countries, like U.S. for example.
If you would live in a more traditional country, like Romania, you would be treated different by people.
Edit: Also few people really care, most of them pretend they care, they can put on a act, imitate as if they are caring. If sociopathy is not caring, then the world is full of sociopaths.
So I think, probably the people who called you sociopathic had 0 idea of what they were talking about.
I get what you say, I think its interesting.I am usually pretty well received for the most part but I do think people get uncomfortable with my perceptions of certain things. For me, it's not necessarily a lack of an emotional response to things or people, it's that I take a step back to consider before reacting. I was not always this way and used to be prone to reacting, but was very sensitive and many feelings were magnified through a very deep depression and anxiety disorder. I hadn't properly learned to identify and work through emotions.
Now that I have, I come off as sociopathic but it's not exactly true. It may be that I have difficult feeling anything for other people. I can fake it. I can ask questions and feign interest. I can give solid advice and am an phenomenal listener. I just have no personal investment in the feelings or situations of others with the exception of those who I am very close to and who I have allowed into my inner world.
I agree, you can't cry for someone who you didn't knew, talked to, and lived with.I do think that my way of thinking is more common in more traditional, conservative countries. In North America I think we're taught to cry for everyone lol. It's kind of bizarre.
