Here's a question: have you ever regretted doorslamming somebody?
Weirdly, it is very easy for me to cut people off, but ...at the same time, I do often regret doing it at some point. It keeps coming back to mind and I have to re-convince myself that it was the right thing to do or what I really needed to do. But have I honestly thought that I should have NOT done it? I don't think so. I feel like I am a lenient person, so if they have gotten me to that point then there is probably no reason for me to feel guilty about it (even though occasionally I do).
Then again, what exactly do you mean by doorslamming? Do you mean just cutting people off, or do you mean like, having a major argument in the process of doing so? Because I don't do that. If I cut someone off, they usually don't know that I am doing anything more than making some space. I won't say anything about it most of the time. I guess my doors don't slam then, haha.
There you go; humanity's headlong rush into self-destruction haunts me; moreso because it all could have been avoided by a persistent low-yield easy-to-bear trend of mass responsibility. I often DONT feel human because I can't relate to how the rest of humanity behaves. I don't feel like I'm doing anything wrong, and I don't typically dislike humanity... but I'm often frustrated or, at the very least, mystified by it.
You know, I feel this way too. Humanity just confuses me. I'll get cynical and hate it, and I'll laugh at it but more than anything else it just... perplexes me. So many problems could be solved by eliminating a few certain destructive behaviors. Get rid of greed, add in more responsibility. Try to see all sides of situations, instead of just your opinion. Make compromises. I know that for some of us (me included) it's difficult, but having an open mind is so important. Not to mention, we all have different strengths and weaknesses, and we need to support and understand each other - something that doesn't go on nearly as much as it should in the world.
What is the difference between you and NFPs ? (question for all INFJs)
I know the theory. I am more interested in how this works in reality.
Okay, let me try this from the perspective of two of my close friends being INFP, one male and one female.
1. They ask you questions about everything, often sensory-based details (probably knowing that you usually don't know the answer... don't they pay attention themselves? Anyway, my visual/spatial/verbal learning ability is high, so maybe they expect that I am going to see/read things they miss - though they almost always have a better memory for them than I do).
2. They want you to help them. A lot. Especially with things I have a hard time relating to, for some reason. (And I do. Because I'm INFJ, lol. Unless they are persistent for days at a time, in which case sometimes I am just like "okay, that's enough.")
3. I'm very independent. Both of my INFP friends are very dependent (It's not MBTI-related but I thought I'd say so).
4. Not as spiritual.
5. They get really fired up about certain things and argue more easily, but usually cool down easily as well.
6. They change interests all the time, and always want to learn new things. (I think they are more into the excitement of starting things. I am too, but I finish them more often, or continue to develop my knowledge.)
7. They procrastinate more. (Again, I procrastinate too. But they procrastinate more and longer...)
8. When they complain about things, it seems whinier than normal - not sure how, but I feel like I'm being whined to a lot of the time.
9. They can remember specific things like dates, names, numbers, what exactly happened when, etc. a lot better. (I remember concepts better.)
10. They beat around the bush.
11. They seem to have to have every little bit of information before they can make a decision or evaluation. (I tend to make my decisions/evaluations based on the information I have, then, if I get more information, I alter them to incorporate that information. I am often satisfied with just some information.)
12. They get hooked on talking about something they like and it's really hard to stop them. (I can get talking about things I like pretty easily too, but I think I am more aware of when it is too much than they are.)
Hope that helps.
