You want to read your favorite book from the different perspectives of all the characters involved...

everyone's personality has a different "flavor"....

people ask you if youre on drugs...

you wish people would engage in more physical contact...(not that way gutterminds)

You try to imagine people's entire lives while you watch them walk across campus...

picking a name for a character in your story takes days while the story only took two hours to write...

In your mind you can make the happiest song bring you to tears...

(true/ not?)

Pretty much all true. Especially the ones in bold.

You could convince anyone to have faith in you yet you always second guess secretly.Actually, you're a damn good liar and people believe you for some odd reason:
"You would never do this", "You're such a good person"
pffft! xD

SO TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

people think you are soooo self-less, and to a point thats correct, but what they don't realize is that all of your self-less acts contain an advantage for you as well.

So while you really do care for the people you help, you're not going away empty-handed. Its kind of like killing two birds with one stone.

^Aww I just like helping people sometimes. I cannot walk away from someone in need, I hate that sometimes. Maybe there is some kind of charge to that, though I don't seem to knowingly feel it.

I was wondering who would affirm this, lol. I think an INFJ could be one of the most manipulative people ever. (Actually though I know he's been typed as INTJ, I've often wondered if Hannibal Lecter coulda been INFJ gone really bad). I would never, y'know, manipulate...

Which brings me to my next point:

You know that you're an INFJ when you could talk about your own childhood/stream of consciousness/plans for the future all day long! Gawd we must bore people sometimes. (EDIT: oh, but you don't do that a lot irl.)

I would never, y'know, manipulate... but when I was little I really could see other people so clearly for who they were. I remember my Aunt telling my mom re: me that you always have to watch the 'dark horse', eeps I was so shocked that she saw something like that in me. It made me determined not to ever be that kind of person.

Oh yeah, no doubt psychologists would make millions off our pockets.

^Yeah, except that we are our own best therapists!

wherever you go, people think you work there
and or you're mistaken for things you're not officially

ex.
i was in borders(typical Introvert territory)
and this guy walked up to me while i was reading*asshole*
and asked " could you order this book for me by [random author here] ?"

I returned a quizzical look, and replied " follow me "
i went over to the nearest computer and picked up the phone
" customer service up stairs *hangs up phone* ; someone will be with you, i'm on break "

i've been mistaken for a cop, a black belt karate guy, a football player, and a borders employee - all while standing in a day dream that someone had to harrison ford -argh !

Yea people think I always work in places, but I assume it has to do with my outward appearance and stereotypes. Young girl, bored looking(boy, I really wish I didn't work here), black(let's be real here, everyone has little biases -_-) and people tend to think I know directions to places too.
