I feel like a real INFJ when...

[subwayrider]

Haha. Is that what you do when you ride the subway? Dude, it's impossible. There are different people riding the train everyday!

I do not ride the subway. My username is figurative.

Hmph!

Sounds good, though slightly easier to be female INFJ than male, since there are, according to some empirical studies, more of them to run into who could actually converse with you about this INFJness.

The fact that it "doesn't go away" as a beautiful idea. This is how we view the world, no matter how people may try to bring us down to their terrestrial, temporal level.

Incidentally, would you say that ENFPs are particularly useless in helping you cope (even though NFs are good at understanding NFs -- yes, the key is understanding, but not necessarily encouraging in an effective manner)? No offense to the entire ENFP world of course. And INFPs sometimes do just as much harm as good.

Regarding ENFP's, I don't look at types like that. I just take it all in. If someone is nice to me I appreciate it obviously. I must say that I do pay attention to type--I can't help but type just about everyone I come into contact with. I'll pay more attention to how I feel when I'm around ENFP's--I know a few.

Granted. The first three were just to get you warmed up. Make up your own, too.

d) I emerge from my house after five days of hibernation.
f) I overanalyze people to help them relieve stress.
g) I overanalyze others to relieve my own stress.
h) I abandon half my friends and find new ones.
k) I change careers after two years.
l) People say I'm irrational.
m) I cry alone and it feels good.

i feel like a real infj when i start telling myself how unique, special, and misunderstood i am. when i feel sorry for myself for feeling drained after generously helping people who probably didnt want or need my help. when i officiously ignore my boss's instructions in favour of my vision and tell myself that i am a quiet leader in the absence of any rank or responsibility. when i convince myself that something is for the good of the group which in reality really only suits me. when i believe i am a good person on a humanitarian mission while in actuality spending the majority of mission time compulsively surfing the internet because "i need to wind down". when i help others with anger because i know better than them and what they need is tough love and when i think any infj whose love isnt tough must be an infp. but of course most of all when i think that im a real infj.

[When what isay didnt mean waht i thought, maybe dats just my short term memory, its poor....erme] *SCARP*DAT*

Me too! We're like two peas in a pod!!! ...You shall be helped...You shalll....
I especially like the compulsive surfing, but hey just maybe it's an INTEGRAL PART of my evil plan to forcibly help everyone who doesn't want help. ...oh but I'll prob. doorslam everyone in the world and leave a trail of broken hearts in my wake, because after all, that IS what evil evil INFJs do?
Hitler, evil?
The devil, evil?
Not like an INFJ on a helping rampage!!!!

true mega evillll!!!! Mwahaaaa!!!

...
No... seriously.. dude.

When I become obsessed with something that probably only I think is important.

When I get that "goosebumps" feeling on the rare occasion that I make a deep connection with someone

When I get that "goosebumps" feeling on the rare occasion that I have an epiphany concerning an abstract idea.


I don't really know if these are related to INFJness or not though.

 

[Leticia Mejor]

You know you're a real INFJ when you haul chopped wood for an elderly cancer stricken friend who's wood stove fire has almost gone out, noticing how distracted, tired, and dreamy you are doing that task, and then as you lay down the bundle of wood ----the old lady comments about her dying fire: 'Sometimes the flame only flickers, other times it's a full hot flame.'----- and you know *Exactly* what she means.

 

[Nixie]

I know you are an INFJ when....

Magic sprinkles, there are magic sprinkles.

 

[James]

When something I really "felt" was true or thought was going to happen, does happen.

 

[Jill Hives]

...when I really want to call someone out on their BS or bring up a point that will likely be found to be offensive, but can't bring myself to do it because I don't want to hurt anyones feelings...

- I never feel that I'm living up to my potential.

You cry alone too?

What does your potential or ideal self look like? (if I may ask)

Umm... is that really an INFJ question?? lol

 

[endersgone]

What does your potential or ideal self look like? (if I may ask)

Ideal self, I suppose I'd be...

-Emotionally strong and stable - Able to better compose myself when speaking aloud - Able to give of myself completely to those who need help, aid, or support - Perhaps a bit less thoughtful, geared a bit more for action
- Independently motivated, more suited for following my own heart... - More trusting/forgiving of others -Less anxiety/fear... this list could probably go on for a while. Don't get me wrong... I do like who I am, I just feel like I have more in me to give yet.

When I'm thinking about what I think you're thinking about when really you're just thinking about why I thought you're thinking what I'm thinking what you might be thinking about, and then we all just think about what is really to be thought about until we realize there is nothing to think about...then we all just start thinking about why we over think in the first place and then I crawl into a hole and die......O.O

that was fun
