I will allow this thread to proceed.
There goes the INFJ trying to tell me what my motives are without examining their own. I laid bare my motives, hence any winky faces & spoiler text which explain I'm being cantankerous on purpose (and it was mostly a jab at myself). This is the common deflection INFJs use also... I've learned these conversations go nowhere. I can explain 100 times over what I meant, and they will insist it's something else so as to avoid dealing with the real issue.
I don't know what people secretly think, but I observe how they act and what they say. I would see light protest at most (like when someone protests a compliment but seems to have expected it), with nothing being directly countered. There might be some "but this is at the cost of sacrificing myself!", the pain of being "too perfect".
The thread would then be diverted into examining the motives of the OP. No real dissection of the INFJ would be allowed.
This is observation more than prediction. It's a pattern. I can't help what other people do.
No, INFPs will not necessarily turn down praise nor are we incapable of bragging, etc. But it may only be accepted when "seen for who we are", warts and all. Or else it just doesn't have meaning. Because we (often) recognize people become enamored with fantasies. This thread is not all that flattering, then. I made that point when I noted that the INFP ego is not all that flattered by being told we're sweet & nice & stuff like that. Most simply don't know how to play to our egos.
What better way is there to make a point?
Pointing out the irony is pretty much the same as "explaining a joke". I usually go the tragic route, and I thought I kept that flair here.
Do you mean perfect or most able/willing to create the "perfect" future?
INFPs are, indeed, called "idealists", but not "the ideal" haha.
In my opinion, the best type at actualizing a maximized future is INTJ, with their focus on what will be, and their determination to see it happen.
But INFPs can imagine even better horizons yet than the more practical-minded INTJs, as those grand idealistic visions tend to transcend mundane restrictions!
ALL HAIL INFP MASTER RACE
[MENTION=4660]msg_v2[/MENTION] Perhaps the only soul searching you need to do is to find out why you seek out INFPs in the first place. I can't imagine you really enjoy it from the sounds of things. Continuous Fi/Ti clashes sound exhausting.
I was in an LTR with one once, but I am not inclined to repeat that. However, my mom is one, so it comes up a lot. It's not really avoidable.
What a laughPerfect type for being lazy and sitting on your ass all day.
