What's up mlitt. Can I call you mlitt? Good mlitt. Here's the deal. I applaud your thread creation. I like the fact you went for it and did your thing and made a new creation that's all yours. Only thing, very shortly now, one of our 37 moderators will be along to merge this into another older, longer thread about the same subject. Don't be offended, it's just what they do. So don't feel the need to go have any NF breakdowns when it happens. You are still unique and special and authentic and all that. We just have too much BMS around here, and they just can't help themselves. I just wanted to tell you this in advance, so you aren't shocked and hurt and traumatized when it happens.

Oh, ahem, on the subject, what I love about the INFPs I have known is their enthusiasm, their good-naturedness, believing so much in the good side and potential of people, very loyal and devoted, and take other people's pain personally and seriously and try to do something about it. That's every admirable to me. I've tried not to let my natural cynicism bring these folks down, because I really connect with them in that "introverted feeling" deal and we can totally both FEEL things deeply.

There's already a whole thread devoted to the topic. It's almost as extensive as the INTP Appreciation Thread.

I find it hilarious that people feel the need to make a "love" thread after a hate one is made, as if we are delicate.

I'm not suggesting entirely whats what you did, but I do think people are afriad to go all out and rip us apart in the hate thread as if we will take it too personally and cry right her ein front of our computers.

Well, why would I want to rip people apart? I don't hate any person, much less hate a type, that's just silly. I hate some things that certain people do, but I don't know or care what their type is when they do it, for the most part. I'm quick to call the dude going 20 in a 35 a moron, but I still don't hate him and I don't know or care what personality type he is, I just want him outta my way!

Both of you need to chill out and relax on the road then.

What if he's a new driver, like myself. I hate all the impatient assholes who honk at me while I'm making my FIRST LEFT TURN AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION AND I'M NERVOUS. Assholes.
