Seriousness of responses may vary...
For everything there is a season, however...
I agree that being illogical can be fun. My complaint isn't that people should be serious and logical all the time. That would make life and people insanely boring. This is actually something that my INFP friend told me he has learned over the years. He meant getting out of his fantasy world and being more practical about things. Illogic can be fun. See Eddie Dean stumping Blaine the Mono is Stephen King's Dark Tower series. This has also been my favorite joke since I was in middle school.
People do this?
Can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not. If yes, I can only blame myself for giving you the ammunition 
. If you are serious, then it is just something I've seen in extremely isolated, lonely, sad, under-developed INFP males. I've only seen it in one, but he did it so much i just wanted to throttle him. It wasn't just me who wanted to do this.
Why follow what you can sublty lead around on a leash...
Again, I can't tell your meaning. Do you mean that you agree in not wasting your time, or do you mean that you're leading ENFJ females with a leash? The latter would be the kind of thing the guy mentioned above would do. The annoying part being he's been chasing the same girl around for three years and she doesn't seem to care, and he doesn't seem to get it. Not to get too far off subject, but this is something else I've noticed in INFPs, or at the least the less developed ones. I agree with luminousbeam and her response to that one.
You're right, it's of the Devil and has no use to me.
lol. This was my old roommate. We have known eachother since we were 13, so I've learned to take it stride. I think it was a product of you all being so in tune with people's feelings. He just took it a step farther into esp.
What about learning Japanese and memorizing cloud formations?
Once again, my old roommate. What spawned the learning Cherokee comment was he, I, and our third roommate were sitting in the living room talking and The Crucible was on tv in the background. This resulted in him randomly deciding that he wanted to learn Cherokee. When we asked "Why," his response was "Well, it's practically a dead language." This of course begged the question again, "Why?" He never even attempted to learn Cherokee. As for Pi, it's an infinite number! All you need is 3.14, but there is absolutely know use for that. It was a waste of his natural intelligence and talent. This guy taught our high-school computer classes and I had college recruiters calling me to get to him.
I see more results when I deal with the people infront of me. However, don't forget even an idiot has a story; the quality there of is independent of that fact.
I don't disagree that the other person has a story. What I should have clarified is the INFP urge I see to create all these scenarios like "Well maybe they meant this," or "are you sure mean that," or, "maybe this happened and that's why they feel this way." You have no evidence to back it up and yet you (meaning other INFPs. I don't know you.) persist in doing it.
Sometimes its not them dragging me down...
I don't know about your personal experiences. But from what I've seen of INFP males, it seems hard for me to believe that's the case. You usually have your kindness and genuine caring taken advantage of, leaving you feeling bad about yourself when it's the other person who sucks. You guys (and gals :hi
surprise me by how down on yourselvles you can get
Define "real people". Too much of the drivel out there is a net drain of resources.
I mean real live physical people. Don't get me wrong, most people suck. But you'll never find the good ones unless you risk dealing with the bad ones. I've seen friends fall for girls online that they've never met before, and carry a torch for girls who only carry buckets of water. I don't expect you all to become hard-core extroverts. You would be miserable! But it's also not healthy to spend so much time with your cat.
Define "something real". I'd rather do something I can afford with my limited resources.

You guys have natural passion for helping people. My friend has to trick himself into thinking he's really helping to find his job bearable. But I've also watched him get passionate, and other people passionate, about things like the genocide in Darfur and Uganda, and actually trying to raise awareness and do something about it. That's real.
Sounds good, I can see how real your concerns are. I guess my responses ended up being more serious than I was expecting. I'm sure the ideal is somewhere between what I think and what you're expecting.
Me and INFPs, no matter how much you may annoy me
