Tease - not pick on. Keep the good humor near the surface and know when to stop. Thank you.

This sounds like a slight paranoia that some introverts have. I can sometimes feel like people are staring at me in public (but not cuz they're laughing at me). I don't think I am attracting unusual attention, I am just not comfortable with much attention at all. I like to be a bit invisible, because I feel safer. Another form of sensitivity I suppose. Although, I admit I don't dress to be invisible, so I guess a part of me wants to stand out (the dichotomy that is an INFP :tongue: ).

I've actually had that feeling too, to the point of blowing up at people because I think they're staring at me (only when I was MUCH younger).

It's ALL introverts, not just INFPs. I'm about as different from an INFP as possible, and I know exactly what you're talking about.

My dear you couldn't hide the good humor if you wanted to... I think we mean the same thing.
:hug:

This does not include when you are seriously peeved/angry.

Same. It caused a tremendous amount of social anxiety for me as a child. Luckily, I learned to just go with the flow in High School. I had this mentality (and still do) of "Even if they are staring at me, who gives a flying finger?"

I honestly don't think that social paranoia relates to introversion as much as self-confidence does.
