[NF] Top 3 reasons for why NFs suck...

[Totenkindly]

... while tossing healing crystals into the air and knocking nearby squirrels out cold.

I think it's very nice for NFs to be saving the lives of so many squirrels, who would otherwise be running out into the road and playing chicken with moving traffic. (It's a dirty job, but someone has to do it.)

2. if they are not thwarted by their total mechanical incompetence

IT WAS LOCKED!

Wow. Maybe I'm not an NF. I thought "Hmm. Not me. Good thing I didn't date much, I guess. Wouldn't SFPs be more likely to get into situations . . . no, I did know that one NF, poor thing . . . I wonder if there are any new posts . . . "

heh. I think an ISFP would go straight to the interpretive dance, which highlights a nice thing about NFs. At least they're not TOTALLY random.

1) if they're males, the type most likely to be the recipient of all sorts of sadistic childhood tortures. if they're females, the type most likely to get date-raped.

true. they're just asking for it.

why NFs suck:

1. all of them, immediately upon reading the above joke, will spontaneously burst into tears and attempt to open the nearest window and commit suicide by jumping out...

*sigh*

My response. Oh great. Yet another hilarious dolt.

it took me forever to read this post. once i read "mole hole", it took a while for my brain to stop repeating it in different ways. "mole hole...", "wtf, mole hole", "mole hole?", "mountain out of...?!?", "is this supposed to mean that it's worse than a hill because it's deeper, thus further from being a mountain?" and return to serious mode.

I have always heard it as "mole hill".

Seems most of the posters contributing to this thread are NFs themselves, lol.

1.) Take EVERYTHING personally
2.) Can read vibes, but cannot always interpret them correctly
3.) Take offense on behalf of loved ones and friends too easily and go into protector mode with violence

Damned straight on #3

3. or, if the window has been conveniently left open by an NT, it will be a first floor window and they will safely land on a bed of flowers. This will only reinforce their sick passion for pretty trivialities and they will then start crying with joy and compose an impromptu interpretive dance to give thanks to their spirit guide while tossing healing crystals into the air and knocking nearby squirrels out cold.

#3 - OMG, good one, especially for INFP's and I agree that the ISFP's would go straight to the dance. At least I have an inkling of logic and practicality about me. I mean, is it ok to say that? I wouldn't want to offend anyone.

You only say that because you are bitter about not being able to interpretatively dance.

I do interpretive dance all the time - it's how I walk.

I also sing when I talk.

HA! You claim we're so arrogant when an NT started the top three reasons NTs suck, now...it's your turn!!!

1. They're too afraid to show a little self-pride.
2. They're so politically correct and worried about offending others.
3. They think NTs are cold and evil.

Ok I'll give you #1 but I keep my pride to myself & I don't see why it should matter to others whether I show it or not.

#2: I do not like in fact being politically correct. I think trying to not offend people can actually cause more problems than it solves.

#3: No, unless they go against my values & morals. I actually get along with most NTs because of our N interests. I have had many interesting conversations with NTs because of similar but at the same different ways of thinking.

how did you know?

 

[Blossom76]

1. they tend to be oversensitive
2. they tend to be revengeful
3. they tend to dissect every word I say to smell whether there is some hidden agenda or conspiracy going on behind their backs

oh so very true!

2. Sometimes having no clue that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. As in, they think good intentions are all that matters, but I reckon if there is a truly shitty outcome, no amount of good intentions will make up for the shitty outcome.

Well, here is an NF view of what you have said: The road to hell is most often paved with the actions of those who use the mantle of "good intentions" to hide their evil intentions and who dupe those around them. The devil comes cloaked as an angel of light after all.

The second sort of paving to hell are those who lie to themselves about their good intentions, meanwhile letting their secret selfishness have its way. The person who dupes themselves.

Most of the time when good intentions go wrong, it is because the people involved didn't have the wherewithal to stick to their good intentions and to make their acts measure up to the intentions.

It is a fine point but a point nonetheless that is important when looking actions and motivations. I agree good intentions cannot excuse a bad outcome but even more so when either the person was not honest enough about their intentions to begin with OR they allowed selfish/bad intents to come in later. The worst lies are the ones we tell ourselves.

1)Afraid to show pride/too modest
2)Take things very personally sometimes when no insult was intended at all
3)Unorganized!

Not a single one of those is true about me.

 

[Athenian200]

I don't really feel we're that bad, but I can still think of plenty:

1. I'm rather impractical and ungrounded at times.

2. I sometimes chase a dream or an idea to ludicrous extremes.

3. I spend a lot of time trying to find myself.

4. I tend to judge people before I even know them, albeit I'm usually right about them. (Maybe that one's just NFJ?)

I think it's a tendency that comes with the FJ combination. I used to think I was always right about people even when based on little information depending on how I felt. I try ever so hard not to do that anymore as I realized that my first feelings can be inaccurate. I realized that I had over-relied on "gut instinct" and little signals. I have misused it both ways for the record. I have decided that someone was "good" and they were not. More often however I decide I am NOT going to like someone and hold onto it way too long. I have lots of boring examples of this. Anyway as I get older I try to give people a chance and am getting really good at it. To do this however I have to be careful not to set my expectations to a level that they could never make the grade.

If that's all you can come up with that's bad about NFs then I'm glad I'm one.

*schnuggles all*

HAH!

 

[Ghost of the dead horse]

hm, maybe it's a wrong thread for me, as I love NF's and dont think of them as someone who suck. Anyways, I'll try.

1) Naivety in that they assume that a person must be in internal emotional chaos because of some adverse life situation they have encountered, so that they have to be soft and therapeutic in their dealings with the said person.

2) Their desire and natural tendency to be mature and pleasant prevents them from enjoying dark humor, parody, satire and humor based on humiliation that much.

3) They lack the tactical eye to reverse their good behaviour or their message to incite the correct outcome in a given situation. Instead they try to perform everything by speaking truthfully, openly and honestly, even when the other party would except a measure of deception, and allow it.
