[INFP] You know you're an INFP when...

[jtanSis1]

bits of your world can fix reality.

You know you're an INFP when you can't bring yourself to get rid of that old blanket because you're afraid you'll hurt its feelings.

I had that when I was younger. I used to be the same with stuffed toys. Had to find them all and tuck them in before bed, and if one had fallen down the side of the bed or was missing, it was tragedy and a rescue operation was needed before sleep.

You post to a thread in The Bonfire and the thread dies.

Trust me, show them a piece of Wonderland and see how they react. If it's good, keep going; if it's not, they're not worth the time. Te is a beautiful thing when Fi brings naught but pain.

TJ is furthermore a very useful function for ridding oneself of obnoxious people. I would recommend the judicious use of it to all INFPs who are having trouble with the aforementioned.

You know you're an INFP when..
Everything an ENFP says is what you were thinking

Love it!

Luckily all of my iNfp friends have me around to voice their thoughts for them.

 

[jtanSis1]

wish I did, would be cool. Maybe I should ask an ENFJ to act on it instead.

If you seriously considered deleting the last post you made, you're an INFP.

 

[jtanSis1]

or wanted to improve it before it's finished.

When you look at an object, say a sign for those Target stores, and can't remember what the word means, what the red and white rings mean, whether the thing is a sign or not, what it's doing all the way up there, how you got in the car, is this even a car, if not how am I moving so fast, how do I break again?... etc., etc.

find no joy in repetition

You try to make everyone happy, but feel like you failed miserably.

"Having decided that someone is an utterly obnoxious asshole, you start thinking of ways you can help them become a nicer person."

there were so many things I related to in this thread but this one made me laugh out loud. i not only think of ways to help them become nicer, but immediately begin making overtures toward the person, talking them up to others and berating myself for ever being so shortsighted.

some others:

you know you are an infp when you avoid a scheduled responsibility in favor of commissioning satirical cartoons that passive-aggressively express your boredom and frustration with the mundane and...anything else you don't like.

when you come into work late only to stay late and come in on the weekends just to assure yourself you are not on anyone elses timetable.

when you fill out bureaucratic forms in the opposite order or answer simple, straightforward questions with a deflecting joke or an absurd invention.

when you rescue animals while spacing out on the ones you already have.

when you christmas shop with your bill money.

when you respond to compliments with embarrassment or skepticism (I wonder why they said that??)

when you feel more comfortable with strangers than with your intimate others.

when you overanalyze to the point where you have to go to sleep in order to shut your mind up.

LOL - I can so relate to this . . . glad I'm not the only crazy one!

 

[lane777]

Sizing people up(analyzing others) is an obsession for you

You have some artistic outlet

You forget to eat or go to the bathroom until you're about to explode

You get lost in your own neighborhood.

You read in public

Deciding on a career is difficult because you have so many interests

You're so capable of responsability yet you hate having it pushed on you.

You are always searching for answers or ways to improve yourself.

Mistake yourself as INTJ,INFJ,ISTJ,ENFJ, and get home from Neptune in time for dinner

Disappear alot/in conversations and physically

You induldge in the dark thoughts like others do chocolate

You know you're an INFP when you can't bring yourself to get rid of that old blanket because you're afraid you'll hurt its feelings.

...when you find yourself to be obsessed over "darkness" and suffering only because you are so in love with the "light".

You are prone to trusting a complete stranger.

Find no joy in repetition.

Yep.

 

[quietmusician]

- you can remember conversations from years ago, but can't remember to clean your room.

- your INTJ friend takes the time to mock you then discovers that he is also very similar, hence the laughing stops.

- if you are more interested in personality types than others.

- you get so lost in your thoughts you don't realize an hour has passed.

- you want life to be great, but can't get passed not having your ideals met.

having multiple personalities doesn't disturb you until you feel whole and intergrated

 

[ragashree]

Having located twenty-seven different varieties of tea to offer to your guests, you are quite unable to locate a clean receptacle in which the aforementioned beverages may actually be served.

 

[Nonsensical]

When you constantly wonder what your doing with your life, and why.

 

[sleuthiness]

You can't put your thoughts into words.

Can't call yourself religious, nor can you call yourself an atheist... but can't stay away from fantasy long enough to explain it to others.
