A19 I am a very shy 16 year old INFJ girl. I enjoy reading and doing stuff that I can do independently. When I do stuff for school, I always imagine what the teacher will think and strive to do what they are expecting. When someone seeks an argument with me, I feel tired and just want to leave. I excel in history and social studies because I can easily see the reasons behind people's actions. I anthropomorphize everything. I have trouble making friends, but if there is someone who makes an effort with me, and we agree on things, I quickly become very close to them. I hate to express my opinions to people because I hate the looks I get from people, when they don't understand what I'm saying, or when they argue with me. I am a very slow thinker, often taking days to come up with an answer to a question. I am horrible at thinking "on my feet" What usually happens when someone asks me a question, is I start answering it and then forget the question. I have an "overactive imagination" where I have a fantasy world in my head. I can go to it at any part of the day and get lost in it for hours, often getting strange looks from people when I randomly smile and mouth words. From an outsider's point of view, I seem to be extremely messy and disorganized. but I know where everything is and hate it if someone moves something of mine. I hate working with people I don't know. I feel incredibly stressed out and get that same tired feeling I get when someone tries to argue with me. when working with strangers, I become very quiet and observant. When I am angry at someone, I become very distant, often looking "through" them, and speaking in monosyllables. I have trouble expressing happy emotions, as my mother has so often told me. I live in a multi- racial/ multi- ethnic family. I have a 10 year old sister who has reactive attachment disorder because of spending 2 years in a Romanian orphanage, and a 6 year old black brother with moderate Autism. My mother is often ill, and my father works full time. The duty of watching the kids often falls to me. My sister frequently calls me "bossy" Because of her Attachment disorder, my sister is extremely superficial towards others. a "Suck up" if you will. I hate it when she acts like this and when she does this I give her my "cold shoulder" she often tells me later that she was just being friendly and I was being rude by not volunteering information. (My sister's an ESTP btw) I love peace and quiet. I confide all my thoughts and feelings to my cat. (If she ever learns to speak, I’m in trouble :\ ) I’m very moody and am attracted to sad things (books that make me cry, and songs about heartbreak) this could just be the teenager in me though  I love to draw dresses because I feel satisfied when creating something beautiful. -- Caitria
A20 Wow A18, you have a very articulate way of expressing what I myself feel many times. I do have periodic bouts of what may be considered "extrovertness" (e.g.: such as entertaining friends, going out, etc.), but I feel that's due to me idealizing people and constantly looking for a quality connection. If I force myself to be outgoing to match the dominant mood in a particular environment (say for professional or pragmatic reasons), it takes a toll on me and I need to recover in mental solitude. If it weren't for high school and college where I was quite successful, I would've probably been very shy and much more reserved with my opinions. I'm pessimistic and cynical about individual motivations, but very much optimistic about the idea of humanity. Though I hate superficiality, hedonism is a big part of my life. If I lust after someone or something, it's usually because it fits my aestheticism and probably fills a deeper need in myself. I'm an engineer, but one of the few who's into dissection people's motivations and feelings. So far, I don't think anyone actually understood what makes me tick or exactly how I think, but I've been loved and that's usually sufficient for me to love back. From the outside, many of my actions seem inconsistent, apparent dichotomies, which characterize most INFJs, but they fit perfectly in my framework. As confident as I am with my judgements, self-criticism is probably my biggest drawback. I'm aware of my faults, but overall I know I'm a good and empathetic human being, so I expect the same from my friends and am very turned off by "small feeling" (eg.: pettiness, selfishness, etc.) in others or myself. I hate being called passive-aggressive, but slow withdrawal is my way of showing that I've been hurt. I actively try to communicated why I feel as such, but many people take it as a sign of weakness and ridicule it so I censure myself. I grew up in Romania, and have been living in France, Switzerland and now the U.S., which means that I feel conflicted and uprooted about many things, but somehow manage to reconcile everything by adding new layers on an already complex and alembicated system of reasoning. Most often I'm accused of being snobby (at least here in the U.S.), which I detest because I'm intrinsically very friendly and tolerant. I do hate stupidity and people who cannot think for themselves. Also, I grew up in an intellectual but poor family, and that hasn't changed until I started working in college. Until a couple of years ago when I was in college, I didn't try to psychoanalyze myself too much, but now that I do and have discovered my INFJ type, I'm simply amazed of how well it fits and how much it helps me understand why I do the things that I do. Of course, I would change a couple of the things that make me an INFJ (life would be so much easier , but overall I feel blessed to have this unwavering infatuation with humanity, despite the many times I've been disappointed. -- Andrei
A21 Are you guys talking about Fi/Ne or Ni/Fe? -- Anonymous
A22 I may be an INFJ, but I don't think this means I can't fit in with the rest of the world. I seek deeper meaning in everything, I get picked on often for over-analyzing things. but the people who pick on me do it playfully - they are close to me and truly accept me for my traits. I would not choose to spend time with people who I could not be myself with. I work in health care and am often around people who are sick in the hospital, and I feel their pain sometimes as if it were my own. I often take a difficult situation home with me, and clear my head with a long run. My natural empathy makes me very good at what I do, but sometimes takes a personal toll. I see life as a great gift, I never take it for granted. My goal is to learn something from each moment. I am always yearning for personal betterment, be it a higher degree, or a marathon. I am never truly at ease with myself, but I do love who I am, especially as I get older. I have learned that I enjoy order, I need routine and structure. I must have a clean, well decorated house. I do not feel right with the world when there is chaos around me, and in fact, it can make me a little nuts. That is not to say I don't have fun, and love to enjoy the finer things in life. But in my mind, there is a designated time for this, and I prioritize me life regularly. Many of these things are inward, and people don't truly know about me, except for my husband and my best friend. Even they don't know just how often I contemplate deeper meaning in things, and think about life and death. I find solace in musical lyrics, and sometimes have to rationalize myself down from an emotional ledge. But overall, I am a happy person, in that I truly appreciate every minute of my life. And I think that is what I allow people to see..... -- Anonymous
A23 Watch the French film "Amelie." The main character has very INFj tendencies and it's a fantastic film. -- Anonymous
A24 (Fi Ne) INFj: I am self absorbed, very perfectionistic, and typically get a very spiritual feeling when learning things that align with my values. I like to make grand, sweeping generalizations and have a knack for explaining complex ideas in a very simple and easy to digest way. I am a walking brain, I find it hard to feel when I'm sleepy or hungry and I have trouble keeping track of time. I am the kind of person who needs to read the manual before I do anything, there is a side of me that is very ESTj, I can take over group projects and assign people jobs, I am typically trusting of rules and systems that are in place, I love to make lists and schedules (but struggle to adhere to them). For clothing, I am kind of whimsical, how I dress generally matches how I am feeling, but I usually prefer neat and comfortable clothes. I am very sensitive to criticism because I have strong feelings associated with certain words, those words often have powerful meaning to me. I value the underdog and will always help and support people who I believe need it. -- Anonymous
