[INFJ] You know you're an INFJ when...

(Ok. Scrap my above post). YES. I prefer to avoid stating the obvious. When I forgo mentioning it, often people will bring up how it was neglected, or look puzzled as if something in what I said is missing. I have to learn to start by stating the obvious or else people assume you are not aware of the obvious. That's fair enough.
when you kind of stare at people when they not only state the obvious but keep talking about it like you didn't know this and then repeat some of the points for emphasis or I don't know why they keep talking about it and you are wondering if you will self combust

When you seek deep meaning and connections but are so cautious and slow to let people in that you won't even open up and get real on a forum for fellow INFJs where you're anonymous. 
Hahaha...this is so true.When you seek deep meaning and connections but are so cautious and slow to let people in that you won't even open up and get real on a forum for fellow INFJs where you're anonymous.

there may be a few reasons for that ranging from all kinds of overwhelm in day to day life, not just the forum, to the amount of new and amazing people here, to our universal preference for one on one interaction, to some of the pesky non INFJ people here and to some of the over the top comments here that leave me wondering, do people really talk like this in real life? and of course I remember that yes, sometimes they do, which is why getting a new puppy sounds like a wonderful idea...

A little fried today from a surge of exposure to people today. It wasn't even that bad. I mean there wasn't anything out of the ordinary. It's just that I'm hyper sensitive to peoples energy and to noise, and to too much electrical energy, and to off gassing from plastics and synthetic material. I know this isn't exclusively an INFJ thing. Do any of you INFJ people experience this kind of thing?
@CosmicINFJ:
I do. A lot. I have relatively sensitive ears. Besides absorbing everything else, some noises drive me crazy. Like forks against teeth. Just the thought of it makes me cringe.
I used to be willing to die for my friends. But I'm having second thoughts. If I died, my friends would be screwed without me. So I keep a fairy in a bottle around my neck. That way if I try to be a hero and end up dieing, the fairy will revive me.
You know when you're an INFJ when you're willing to die for your friends, but you won't let yourself abandon them.

You might be an INFJ if you exaggerate for effect (especially in your mind)
You know you're an INFJ when you think I can close this door anytime I like.

You know you are an INFJ when you want other people to feel what you've been contemplating, studying and quietly building evidence for.
I'm not really Hyper Sensitive, More like Hyper Aware and very Sensitive. Not all Non INFJ's are pesky. Of course I'm partial to NF people. That's just me. It's a feel the Love kind of thing. Yes, I really am contemplating getting a puppy next year.
You now you're an INFJ when you feel the need (at least internally) to correct peoples impression of you. (Well some people, because for others it's just not worth the effort)

Hahahaha! Yes! I am dying....when you really want to show your friends that you love them and have them over for dinner, and you're really excited ...and then they accept your invitation.
When you pick up on little pieces from your intuition. Then you come up with a senecio in your head of what the other person did. Then you get really angry. All this without saying a word about it to the other person.
When you put 2 and 2 together and get 10 because you found out more information than necessary.
@CosmicINFJ yes! Artificial perfume or like you said "off gassing of plastic" or any kind of poison (like lawn fertilizer or diesel fuel) will make me crazy! I have a hippy weed yard
