I always just assumed you were an INFP because i related to you so very well and you were joining me in the ranks of non sparkly- non emo INFP's
Let's not shit ourselves, you and I can be emo as all fuck, haha. But yes, I know what you mean and totally agree.
I feel like every self-typed NFP should now consider why it is they identify with that type and not SFJ, so me too.
If you think I'm an SFJ, give me your arguments for it and make them good. :hi:
1. I care what people think about me to some extent (not people I don't like though because fuck those people.)
2. I have somewhat old fashioned ideas about love and loyalty.
3. I'm pretty good at assessing other people's group dynamics from the outside.
4. I take external criteria for beauty and style more to heart than I would like.
What is wrong with you people, I give you the chance to take something away from me and you don't even try
Wait until Starry sees this thread.
I have a hard time seeing you as anything other then an FP of some stripe.
Congratulations on being human. I'm not going to lie; I wasn't entirely confidant of that.
You and a resounding chunk of NFPs.
Is this type related? Or more of a danger/ significant change in circumstances? You know the whole moving country new culture/people tiny all most insignificant part of your life.
You mean to say you're susceptible to the barrage of media showing us the various ways we fail to measure up to some fake sense of perfection? How terribly unique of you.
It's important to remember that the world is not made up solely of e4s. Not all of us enjoy that sort of thing......
INFP makes the most sense; possibly ISFP but you have that stable/unstable feel to you, not the unstable/unstable I tend to associate with SPs
Honestly probably the biggest giveaway that you are infact an SFJ in hiding is your penchant for yummy food eats.
I feel like there's people in here that want you to be an INFP. What are your thoughts on that?
One thing I have concluded in general that might help you.
I don't think Fi is "emotional." It's stereotyped to be (the INFP crying and pouring out their shattered soul thing, you know), but much of that stereotype seems to be more Fe. The outward expression of deep emotion, the communicating of sentiment...I think of that as more Fe. Fi isn't emotional; it's more ethical. Evaluating moral weight, right and wrong, truth and justice--like a balance scale (typically a symbol used for Ti, but I think it's more Fi). Fi, to me, actually seems fairly analytical. And it is not generally expressive. I think it might actually be fairly unconscious, actually. A conscience or compass that is harder to put into words. That's why when I hear, "I know my core values and I readily share, express, and take a stand on them," I think Fe.
FPs can correct me if this sounds way off base.
Once, about five years ago at this point, I briefly but seriously self-typed as an ISFJ 9.
Starry will understand me for the disgruntled hedgehog I am.
I'll be honest and say here that I don't actually think I'm an xSFJ based on these reasons. Rather, each time I see a self-typed NFP talking about how they put little stock in public opinion or in media-peddled portrayals of beauty and style, I feel like saying #notallNFPs. I'm of the opinion that you can live and participate in the world around you without being some kind of maverick trailblazer and appreciate the ordinariness of life and still be "Fi authentic" (whatever that means) but sometimes, I feel like no one wants to admit that???
Do explain what you mean by stable/unstable and unstable/unstable!
P.S. I love talking to you, Dr Mobius.
I forgot Ginkgo. RIP Ginkgo.
And [MENTION=6214]The Outsider[/MENTION] though I'm not sure if that's because I'm like him or want to be him.

[/kinda sorta blatant attention whoring]
Possible indicators of SFJness:
1. I care what people think about me to some extent (not people I don't like though because fuck those people.)
2. I have somewhat old fashioned ideas about love and loyalty.
3. I'm pretty good at assessing other people's group dynamics from the outside.
4. I take external criteria for beauty and style more to heart than I would like.
