OK, I am an INFJ and generally people like me, but I find myself making the most idiotic social statements that I don't realize are idiotic until later when I am alone and processing the conversation.
Here are some examples:
I was talking to a lady about how my husband and I were so relieved to have normal looking children because we were really afraid that our children would get the worst of both of our characteristics. (Later I remember that she has a daughter who has cranial abnormalities and therefore looks very weird).
I was talking with a guy who is complaining about the type of women that he can't stand (that have certain personality characteristics) and I say, "Oh, you mean, like your wife?"
Why do I do this? I have no idea!
Is this common with other INFJ's or other types to make these types of conversational errors? Is there any way to grow a social brain while I am actually IN a conversation, instead of realizing later and feeling like an idiot?
