You know you're an INFJ when...

You know you're an INFJ when...

You feel guilty for "spamming" the Super Hawt Female Thread.

[Thursday]

you'll organize your groceries by weight, food group, and edibility ; get rang up.....
then forget to bring them with you to the car

[ByMySword]

when saying/writing something, you instinctively go overboard in expressing yourself, and then once you're finished, you realize that there's totally a much simpler way of saying it that gets the point across better than you did with your long explanation.

- You don't mind queuing for extended periods of time, this is when you have your most blistering insights... (usually into yourself).

- You kept switching off Katie Couric's interview with Sarah Palin. It was giving you major dumbchills.

- You are shy but wildly adventurous.

- You know which dreams you should pay attention to.... and you do.

- You're allergic to control, that is, others attempting to control you and you controlling others.

- Haha, if you haven't made yourself get used to it yet, being looked at by someone directly for any extended period of time feels like being lasered through to the core.

- You judge your date by how well they treat the wait-staff... this judgement is hard to unseat...

- You really miss playing with lego (ok, maybe that's all adults).

Get outta my head! *tears hair out*

But seriously, I laughed so hard at the first and third points I scared my dog.

I relate more to the average INTP anyway.

Realization? or aspiration?

That's what the edit button is for! And you know that, but being INFJ you are caught between wanting to keep things private/simple and feeling like you're betraying yourself if you censor yourself too much.

Yeah the edit button is my friend.

And so true on the censoring!

These were all right on. Legos...that's why you have children, so you get another crack at them. But no one took me seriously when I asked for the deluxe Millenium Falcon kit so it could fly above my desk...

I agree 100 percent. My INTJ friend is more helpful with "others' " issues than I am.
