[MBTI General] NFs, are you too serious?

[ThatsWhatHeSaid]

I've been meeting a bunch of NFs who I've thought to be pretty serious. On the other hand, I can be pretty unserious at times, so I'm wondering if you consider yourself more serious than average. I'll whip up a neat little poll so everyone can play.

 

[heart]

I consider myself more serious than other people but I don't think I am "too serious" I think other people are on a lifetime cake walk of mindless moronic delusion.

 

[ThatsWhatHeSaid]

Nice, thanks for that ultra-serious reply, heart.

 

[Wild horses]

NOPE I live with my tongue in my cheek.. in fact I think it has created a small grove (seriously!)

 

[Moiety]

Let's put it this way, I'm always thinking about funny remarks and humour in general (all the time), but I tend to put up this façade. When I'm serious it's usually to provoke a reaction. But I do that quite often.

 

[placebo]

I can be sometimes, and I can tell that most people get put off or scared about it when I'm being 'too' serious. In comparison to NTs though, I don't know.

Just because I placed a voodoo chicken curse on your family does NOT mean that I have no sense of humor, Edahn. I mean, really. Didn't we *all* laugh and laugh when the chicken's head went flying across the flaming pentagram and landed in your dad's shirt pocket? hahaha! Good times! And when all the water in your house turned to spleen and snakes crawled out? LOL Gosh! Those were some laughs, weren't they? You laughed so hard you cried! Tears were streaming down your face! And when I got you a Kleenex, you told me to stay away from you because you didn't want the hilarity to end.

Voted less serious, but I think it is more complex. I can be very serious, but there aren't too many things I am serious about.

Nice, thanks for that ultra-serious reply, heart.

I'm not friendly offline with enough NT to make a judgement about how serious I am in comparison to them, so I can't answer your poll.

I am more serious than the ST and SF I know, but my NF husband is more serious than I am.

ah shit, I should have controlled for gender. oh well...

Fair enough. But you're more serious than the average person you know, correct?

My friends nicknamed me "Jane Eyre" in high school. (Not that they actuall read the book, they saw snippets of the Orson Wells movie in high school)

 

[ThatsWhatHeSaid]

I assume Jane was a serious character, otherwise that would make no sense.

 

[ThatGirl]

I think this thread is offensive to all NF's and should be prompty deleted from the forums. The backlash of such a thread can cause drastic consequences that should be thoroughly noted.

 

[ThatsWhatHeSaid]

Yeah, okay, I'll get right on that.


NOT

 

[prplchknz]

I tend to like living a moronic cake walk life, but I do realize sometimes life does need seriousness. I just figure day to day interactions don't need to be that serious. I rather enjoy life worry about stupid things that ultimately don't matter.

 

[cascadeco]

I think I'm much more serious than most, but I wouldn't say any more serious than some of the INT's I know.

(I probably should have voted differently, but oh well)

 

[kyuuei]

I think I witness the same thing, Edahn. I think in the end it seems to all balance out.. They're serious when I'm not, and often the roles are reversed and I'm more serious than the rest. No difference in the end of it all.

This is also a bit bias, as I don't believe the quantity of silly behavior contributes to the quantity of serious behavior.

 

[Lady_X]

Shirley you can't be serious

 

[Nonsensical]

I think I swing both ways: I can be very serious when necessary, and can be more playful on some occasions. (not intended in any gross way).
