Okay then...
I think saying that you don't want anyone to leave is kind of a cop out after posting this. Obviously, you do.
I'm so glad you're here to read my mind for me. I thought I was posting exactly what I thought and felt in very clear and concise language. I can't imagine how I've been able to get along in life this long without someone to read my mind for me and explain to me that what I really meant was nothing even remotely resembling what I said.
Way to go. You took something personally, misconstrued it, and made assumptions all in one fell swoop. I love it when that happens. I love it so much I posted a thread about it. Oh wait. It was this one.
Or you want people who don't think like you to shut up. Ok.
And another wonderful gem of taking something personally, misconstruing it, and making assumptions. I don't want anyone to leave, nor do I want anyone to shut up. Satya did a great job of summating my intention here, I just want everyone to play nicer, and stop blasting us for what you think we meant.
So happens that a few members here originally joined thinking they were INFJs, and then came to the conclusion that they were not. Myself included, of course. Along the way we made friends with people here and found that we really enjoyed posting here--regardless of type.
And we're all glad you're here. INFJs make great friends, confidants, and counselors. We're happy to fill this role. All I'm saying is that there is a certain behavior that is cropping up lately that is toxic to us. Take a look at the posts that agree with me, and you'll see that I'm expressing a concern that a lot of the other INFJs are feeling but not stepping up to address because they're likely avoiding the insuing flack about it. Could you just stop for a minute, think about this, and possibly conclude that this is a simple change that would make us happy? Are you guys even capable of not blasting us when you disagree?
I am totally sick of the marginalizing that goes on in mbti. Really? You can only relate to people who think exactly like you? You can only feel safe and secure and comfortable around people who share the same personality as you?
No, we love having people around who don't act like us. We just want you guys to honor our sensibilities when you're in our house. And we're not asking for much. Just be nicer to us, and think about what we've said, and then consider how you're reacting to it before you reply.
Imagine that we have an incredible sensitivity to noise and commotion, and we live in a world where everything is noisy and constantly bustling. We just want a place where people respect that we want as little of that as possible, because we're very sensitive to it.
How many disagreements on here are between INFJs? Take a gander; there's quite a few.
Don't blame the bickering on non-INFJ types, because it's not all us.
Disagreements are not only acceptable, they're welcomed. What I'm asking for is a conscious effort to stop the bickering. Bickering, like what we're doing now, is highly distinct from disagreements and discourse.
If you need cuddles, maybe you should be kind instead of alienating people. You only get what you give.
Really? I gave a statement and a request. I got misconstrued and chastised. That doesn't at all look like I got what I gave. In fact, I'm being attacked for asking people to stop attacking one another. Sucks doesn't it?
