So...I'm looking for clubs or organizations (preferably volunteer or service organizations) to join. Anyone in any that they truly enjoy?
To elaborate, I'm finally able to talk with strangers and make friends. In addition, I've noticed that, the longer people are around me and the more we interact, the more people like me, even that one male ESTP coworker who thought my arrival was God's punishment for his sins. It's a remarkable process to watch.
So, obviously, I should seek out environments that play to this strength.
...however, I recently tried to join a fraternity. A service fraternity. Founded on Boy Scouts' principles. Sounds great, right? Well, they wanted me to memorize a bunch of crap and take a test to get in; I told them it was bullshit: Give me a story, and I'll remember your history. It uh...didn't work out too well.
Nonetheless, even though I rarely spoke, something definitely happened on an interpersonal level with the members. It's kinda weird. Weird in a Doctor Who way.
The experience, along with a previous job, made me realize that second paragraph above. Consequently, I'm looking for organizations that other INFJs (and friends) enjoy.
I'm currently a member of the local Ruritan; it's a nice volunteer organization. I also help tutor at-risk youth through my church. It's really rewarding and I look forward to it, but these clubs aren't the places to make friends my age >_>
