Other than being called arrogant on various internet forums - not really. I guess in real life there's some arrogance in me still, but I'm usually too shy for that kind of stuff. It usually does appear in arguments, I've been told I'm too much "I'm right, you're wrong" without any real proof. To me that sounds like bungus!Do you guys often get told you're narcissists?
Hahaha, my therapist once seriously asked me this.Do you guys often get told you're narcissists?
Narcissism has always been a complicated subject for me. I am well aware of my ability. I have an IQ above 140, and standardize test in atleast the 95% in each subject. Where does being proud of this cross the line with Narcissism?Do you guys often get told you're narcissists?

Narcissists have zero empathy and that is something INFPs have plenty of. Maybe too much.
I'm surprised to find out that the person I'm talking to thinks I'm complaining or intentionally focusing on negative things.
Yes. And hence the identity crisis.Hey, I don't know if you'll all get this, but do other INFPs feel like they wear masks? Like they steal personality traits from people around them in order to be accepted?
For INFJs, I think the biggest compliment you can give them is wanting to understand them completely and really know who they are at their core. Not asking seems like a rejection or lack of interest, particularly if they have invested a lot of time trying to get to know and understand you. Also not expressing something in my world usually means that I'm either neutral or holding back something negative (which I would probably only say if asked).
Conversely, I think that probing questions can sometimes be seen as intrusive by INFPs (although I think in person I have a pretty good sense usually of where that line is in relationship to how close we are). INFJs would see it as a compliment that they are interested enough to try to figure out how you work best. The big difference between us is that nothing is seen as totally neutral behaviour. Fe users tend to usually nothing=negative. Therefore if you don't tell an INFJ your positive feelings about them, they will assume there aren't any or that you even are beginning to feel quite negatively towards them. They'll try to ask about it sometimes and that seems even more annoying, I'm sure. I kind of think that INFPs like maintaining some sense of mystery too. If someone were to know everything about them, I think maybe it would engender some feeling of loss or being too exposed even if they really like that person.
So, how would you know if an INFPs feelings towards you are cooling off?
