So, for example, if you were thinking about something, you wouldn't find it as needful to have another person to bounce ideas off of to clarify or ignite your own thoughts?
Would they want someone to come around if they were sick or feeling down or would they prefer their own space at that time?
Would they not care quite as much about other people's reactions to their thoughts/feeling/opinions/wishes?
What other ways might they not need people as much?
before i answer these questions i must openly admit that i am not the most emotionally healthy INFP, so it may be quite a bit different for most people.
I often find that i develop ideas better when i'm thinking on my own. Being around people often inhibits my thought process and mental preparedness.
If i am sick or feeling down I'd prefer that no one come around me. I usually feel good just knowing that someone cared. If my best friend doesn't hear from me for awhile he always sends me some sort of a message letting me know that he loves me and is worried, and that is always enough. No visits are necessary. if i'm extremely sick, like about to die, I'd want my close friends around and people that make me happy. Usually when I'm feeling really down i isolate myself completely so no one actually has the opportunity to come around.
Generally speaking i don't care much about what people think or feel about my opinions etc., because they are personal, and I'm not going to sugar coat what i believe or feel or think. I do often worry about offending people though. I feel really bad if i make someone unhappy with me, but i think it has to do with a lack of self esteem.
