As in, elaborate the point or giving a realistic example?
How about both?

How do you INFPs deal with touch? Example: Physical affection.
Er... I tend to feel rather uncomfortable being touched by a large portion of folks. However, touching is what I intensely desire my romantic partner, as it's how affection and intimacy is communicated. I wonder if it's my sp/sx talking.
As you know, INFP is a self-effacing type, we're rarely jealous of others and project that good intention onto others. How do you respond to jealousy? I don't mean jealous feelings, I mean people being jealous of you, having bad intentions for you? I find it makes me uncomfortable, releases the monster within me, I struggle to comprehend it.
What kind of a partner does an INFP female want? In short bullet points, and without physical attributes pls...
- appreciation & admiration for my strengths and areas of talent
- will put up with and even like my navel-gazing and philosophical rants
- icing on the cake: likes the arts, culture, novelty, & theoretical stuff, can be spontaneous and adventurous, not stuck in the doldrums
- wants an "us against the world" dynamic, to be very close, but you know, still give me my space
^THIS. Except for the spirituality - I don't care either way as long as they're not judgey about my views.Oh how we love such lists...but short?!
- shared/compatible goals, values, interests, beliefs, etc
- very intelligent, preferably of the intellectual variety
- kindness, compassion, thoughtfulness, unselfishness, humility
- high integrity, strong morals, developed spirituality
- affectionate, intimate, passionate, has a sensual side and emotional depth
- someone I can deeply respect, greatly admire, and find very charming
- can open my eyes to new ways/perspectives/etc
- more sociable & organized than me would be good, also assertive and direct (I don't get hints very well)
- appreciation & admiration for my strengths and areas of talent

Ask me anything, and you shall receive an answer.
wants an "us against the world" dynamic, to be very close,
Might be a 4 thing in general ... to want someone who is perfect just for you and all your many failings. Your own sacred space manifested in another person who loves you as you do them.
EDIT: Or an INFP thing. Or an sx thing. Or a person thing. I don't know.

[MENTION=22067]riva[/MENTION], I can relate to what [MENTION=23222]Arcana[/MENTION] wrote, and this quote from Andrew Boyd is exactly it
“We’re all seeking that special person who is right for us. But if you’ve been through enough relationships, you begin to suspect there’s no right person, just different flavors of wrong. Why is this? Because you yourself are wrong in some way, and you seek out partners who are wrong in some complementary way. But it takes a lot of living to grow fully into your own wrongness. And it isn’t until you finally run up against your deepest demons, your unsolvable problems - the ones that make you truly who you are - that we’re ready to find a lifelong mate. Only then do you finally know what you’re looking for. You’re looking for the wrong person. But not just any wrong person: the right wrong person - someone you lovingly gaze upon and think, “This is the problem I want to have.â€
I will find that special person who is wrong for me in just the right way.
Let our scars fall in love.â€
How convenient that my screen name has just the right amount of syllables.
