That's exactly what you did, which is no different than what you claim of "unhealthy" INFPs.
The problem is your friend, not INFPs.
Whining about INFPs =/= analysis.
"Use a dictionary."
i did, and all that came up was nonsencial.
"That comment is useless."
so is your blabbering.
I come here to present new ideas and listen to criticism.
However I am resolutely opposed to personal insults towards me or any member because personal insults are against the rules and may lead to banning.
the only thing making them personal is your _misintepretation_ =|
now stop being a hypocrite, rules dont justify your misunderstanding.
i used to blame others for being stupid and boring. but ive realized, that was my mistake, i failed to judge that they were boring just because i decided they were. i think youre simply deciding that others are up against you when they arent. meaning, youre focusing too much on judging others when the solution would be to see the flaw in yourself.
here's a question: unhealthy to who - themselves or to others? and no, those don't always contradict, but they aren't always one of the same either - many types seem to exhibit behaviors that are potentially destructive to others around them but they themselves are in peace with and find value in.
like serial rapers? =|
you do realize the irrationality of that premesis?
if youre unhealthy, your bad influence to _everyone_. including yourself.
This is the main usage of typology. To give names to people's prejudices.

i dont think so. there are people who can see through their prejudices, and analyze others neutrally without affiliations to any direction.

"does not care whether the receiver takes it as an insult"
you cant seriously expect me to understand someone whose type i dont know. and i dont think people have the right to misinterprete what i say by their own will, forming it into something which it _isnt_.
ill tell you from experience: ive been physically attacked, because i smiled. i didnt even smile to this person, he just went all nuts and created paranoid theories about it. how on earth am i supposed to know how a _stranger_ thinks? its impossible.
Isn't there a bit of victim-blaming inherent in here? For example, someone could horribly offend someone else with a tactless "compliment", and then blame them for being too sensitive and not knowing a compliment when they see one. And, by your rule, they'd be in the right.
I don't see this as function-based, so much as a different philosophy on the subject; compliments and insults being a one-way, vs. a two-way, street. Either way, it doesn't allow for much adaptation to other people's communication styles.
^ This!
i think its an Fe - Fi difference. fe fellas judge comments by intent, Fi fellas judge by their own feelings, not caring of the intent.
ive been complimented as for being a "normal person" and "a typical male", which is as offending as you can get with me, but due me being Fe, im able to value those compliments for their intent, not their effect.
i think this communication barrier between opposing judgin directions shouldnt be ignored, it should be understood and acted upon accordingly.
i think the solution is for Te's to use their Te to personally understand what the Ti thinks of them rather than misinterpreting, and for Fe to use Fe to personally understand how the Fi feels about the world. or idk what im blabbering, my head isnt computing properly right now..

i think unhealthiness is the over use of your primary function, being all lost in over doing it. healthiness is the balance of functions, when you start diverting your attention more equally on all functions. (and thus using them in a constructive, non-destructive way)
for example, introverted types get lost in their own heads when unhealthy. the external world becomes hostile. for extroverts i suppose we could assume the opposite.
thus im very certain [MENTION=3325]Mole[/MENTION] is an introvert due being lost in his/her head, and my best theory is, he shes an isfp. ive came across similar cases before. (isfp's get all paranoid of others motivations when unhealthy.) and mole, i know there are crap people, but you need to realize, not everyone is that way. for example, if you want to know my honest motivation in this discussion: intellectual curiosity. or thats at least what i tell myself.. i guess i just want to understand everyone so i could know how to have fun time with them. and perhaps help them.
