How to trap an INFJ.
- Thread starter Phoenix Down
- Start date
Well, the plan was to entrap INFJs in general.
Originally my reasoning was similar to the reason I had for joining this forum. INFJs are one of the few types under/non-represented in my real life acquaintances. I think it's fun and interesting to discuss things with people of an alternative mindset which I'm more unfamiliar with (then once I started posting on the boards I realized that the INFJ board was fun overall).
Also I suspected that, once trapped, INFJs would be fun to poke at with sticks. But that was a side theory.
HOWEVER. Since it has already been claimed that INFJs are untrappable now it is a challenge, and I cannot possibly back away at this juncture. Hence the multitude of pies and puppies. I may even splurge for little self-identifaction books.
Though I was originally hoping to simply trap INFJs in general, I now also hope to specifically trap BlindBandit (who will be subjected to the tortures of hanging out with my also ENTP brother all day), Dove (she strikes me as the one most likely to band my prisoners together to foment rebellion against me... keeping prisoners would be too boring if all they did was sit there in distain), and now you Razare. You know too much.
This is something I have sensed from several ENTPs I have known, that they tend to treat people more like objects to be rearranged however they personally desire.
There was an ENTP who developed feelings for me recently. So first he dumped his girlfriend of several years. Then the very next day that he dumped her, he tells our mutual group of acquaintances that he is going to start courting me. After which followed several attempts to be witty and trying to participate in some discussions with me, pretty much forcibly, just stalking me around everywhere, calling me up very late, trying to initiate contact however much possible. After a month of this I have gotten very tired of him being so pushy and inconsiderate and just not showing like he had any concern for my feelings or wishes. I didn't really feel courted, more like as if I was a duck and the duck season was open.

I shall not allow this!
what??? I run from that stuff....feel sorry, but run just the same.
This for sure
This too...this draws me like a moth to a flame
I know it can be hard to think about just being genuine when you a feeling nervous, but trying too hard is fake to me. I don't like fake. If you are shy then be shy...if you stumble over your words...that is so cute If you are confident then be that...just not over the top.The stare always peaks my interest even if someone is not very attractive. If I have a little time to wonder about that person I will be much more open to an approach.
Now, that stare is when eye contact happens and then it stops for a little bit
Hee. I think the "stare" is true as well.
Also? What gets me is someone with a quick mind and a quicker sense of humor. I love random, smart, intelligent humor with odd connections. Better yet if the person is sarcastically savvy.
Think George Carlin meets Robin Williams.

Overall Tactic: be emotionally or empathically deficient in some way
1:
be a psychopath. not what you see in the movies, a real life psychopath without empathy such that you'll be a complete enigma to the infj and string them along with unrelated emotional hints.
2:
be emotionally weak perhaps childlike. That will string them along for a long time.
while this is the meat and bones of the strategy, it can be dressed up in many different ways. the abusive person, the financial geek, computer nerd, compulsive masturbater etc etc
What? That wouldn't work on me =P i feel a Strong desire to be a force of good in chosen people's lives, but this sort of thing would seriously trip up my 'you're being manipulated' alarm, which has the opposite effect.
You sure he was ENTP? That sounds just like something an ESTP would do, because I have an ESTP who has done something similar while I myself consider these actions alien to what I would do myself.
Although be might be ESTJ, he took an MBTI that was unclear on the P/J thing.
I know four other ENTPs besides myself in RL, one of which is my bother. Not a single one of those guys have done or would likely do what you've just described.

Yeah, questionably (lol), this can be a big turn on. Someone who is a little shy, some nerviousness with a little charm thrown in is intriguing. And if you're physically attracted to them, that can put it over the top. But of course, someone who knows this can simply use this to "trap" someone without really being this way. So, someone can simply use this as a ploy. As they say, play wisely.

I don't think anyone suggested that as a method... although the simplicity of it does strike me..
Im "think" im in love with a ENFP...and he's driving me mad...so non committal... doesnt follow thru...flacky...I'll tell how he got me hooked...compliments,sensitivity, sob stories,spending the time to write,talking about feelings,kindness,humor,wackiness,origionality,intelligence APPRECIATION.....sigh...hooked but trying to jump off...to top it off I think hes Bi....What staright guy says magical? LOL
If its the right woman, she can trap me with a wink and a smile. If I don't wanna be trapped and I smell a trap, come hell or high water I'm not gonna be contained.
