Well... I don't quite remember the thread. o_o Might have been the one about not feeling smart enough. You're a Five?

Was that in response to my VM? That was ten days ago. lol Actually, I did manage to scrounge up a pretty good response to one of your posts. It was about Enneagram -- more specifically, about Fives.

Hah! I don't remember you ever saying anything that offended me. Just like an adept Fe-user to be overly apologetic. I've noticed I do the same thing... over any little thing. I came up with this metaphor for the way many INFJs live their lives... it's like being Kenshin, fighting bad guys with...

Well, I wrote a short piece in French and I want to know if it makes sense. I think you'll understand: it was one of those surreal artists' moments, where it feels like some higher power is working through you. These experiences can render personal masterpieces, but you then realize it's...

Hello! I read you are from Paris. Can you help me with a piece of writing? Also, how is it?

I'll give a more formal reply when I've mulled it over, but I did feel the need to say this... I'm still young and thus rather extremist in my views. I still see the world in black-and-white a lot, rather than all the drab grays I know it more accurately exists in. I agree with what you're...

I'm not sure I'm as sensitive as you might think. In some ways, INTPs are the more sensitive type. I'm not sure how to recenter you :P

LOL Doorslam you?? I don't wanna doorslam you! What would I do without you? So, to outsiders it's brutish? How interesting. I doorslammed someone back in August... the person from my blog. I'm fine, by the way, courtesy of.

Hah. See I just tried to get you to try the doorslam XD Whatever works for you, man. You know yourself better than anyone else does.

I find it unfair that you're treated that way here. If it's not to your liking, you should leave, on principle. I'm sure your warmth, sense of humor and intelligence would be appreciated elsewhere-- such as the INFJs forums. I want friends, too. I'm at the movies on my phone, so I'll write...

Well, we (INFJs) all differ from each other in the subtleties. I wouldn't say you are zany. Zany seems to carry more than just negative connotation. I would say you're all just eccentric... and sometimes zany. You do seem like them, but you also don't. Maybe it's just your age, but you...

You're really quite brilliant for your age. I can only imagine what you'll grow up to be. As to the girl issue: of course I'm right. :D It'll work out. Just go through with it or you'll have no peace! You may never see her again after you graduate. You'll have to live with that, albeit small...

Lol. I want to be a wizard.

Don't be so hard on yourself; you're only still in high school. :D You will have much time to build an even wider knowledge base (what you have now at 17 or 18 is more than most adults), to sharpen your logic skills, and all else that comes with the territory.

Sometimes when I look up into the clear sky too long, I get this terrible fear I will fall into it as a direct result. Like... gravity will just turn off and I'll fall straight into the sky. I will freeze to death or simply suffocate. Nothing to hold onto... Is there a name for this fear?

It's a playground for my Ti, which I'm trying to strengthen. I'm bored with the other three for now. It just came to me the other day that INFJs are honorary thinkers in their own right. They're the only type that gets to experience Ni+Ti when they get sucked into the famous loop. I enjoy the...

Nice to see you here! This is a great place.

Some patients who found little to no relief, sometimes due to side-effects, of their depressive symptoms on prescription medication stumbled onto St. John's Wort and found it worked better than anything they'd tried before. From what I've read, it acts, among other things, as a mild SSRI; from...

Your posts are cool, but I never know what to say.

Duxwing I think the best way to do it would be the over the phone. Doing it over the phone is less terrifying than doing it face-to-face, where you might end up saying or doing something unintended for the sheer anxiety. E-mail is too detached and cold for something coming so much from the...

Hilbert's program seemed sure to fail. Maybe that's hindsight bias, though. You're into mathematics? I find the concept of using math to prove/disprove God's existence fascinating. EDIT: That said, it's also a very interesting parallel you drew to the, effectively, infinite number of ways God...

Thanks for the hugs, sir. Have one yourself. *hug* (These INTPs can be a rough crowd, hm?) BTW, I am a dude.

I cannot stress enough how excellent that article is. I might be ready to join the INTP clan from the sheer resonance the description had with me, but alas I have other factors to consider. The constant self-doubt, the quest for truth, the hatred of phoniness, the tendency to melancholy, the...

Right. I only know about some of the MB, not Socionics, pairing theories. In some of them, you're most attracted to the person whose dominant is your Fifth function. Personally, I feel the most raw and real attraction for the type that shares the precise order of my root functions, but...

Duxwing, I will reply to the rest of the post later, but I had a feeling the matter of the friend of yours has perhaps been, from the back of your mind, causing some unrest. I also assume you ask me because I'm INFJ? :D Not very long ago, I found myself troubled by feelings of guilt over...

I see. I can pass for INTP. Yet, I'm staunchly Fe-Se in comfortable social interactions. A bit like an ESTP. ;)

I read the story. So terrible! I... have become very wary of letting anyone get close to me that way for some time now. I realize people act out of self-interest more than selflessness... I understand the naiveté about her feelings. Perhaps your own interests clouded your judgment. I'm a 4w5...

You couldn't at the very least post a different avatar?! :P

This is to be expected, but: I don't understand. It's not like you were the one whose feelings were at stake. She's the one who risked embarrassment and rejection. Is it because you didn't want to hurt her? You would feel her pain like it was yours? Such is the nature of Fe. I would have...

Thanks!

Thanks. And you're exactly right. It's as if we're all riding the same subway train, sitting close to each other, taking in each others' appearances and mannerisms and scents, breathing the same air, maybe even holding lengthy discourse i.e. becoming quite intimate. And yet we don't know each...

My city has no subway, unfortunately. The name comes from my memories of the times I've visited NYC. The subway is used by millions every day. You can get on one day, experience a powerful love-at-first-sight experience, not do anything about it, watch her get off at her stop with an...

You guys do DXM, too?! We have a lot more in common than I thought. I'm even starting to suspect I might be INTP... but I think I'm too emotional for that. Did the Olney's Lesions thing turn out to be true? I hope not. For the record, loveofreason's words seem to flow out of him/her the way...

Your humor is much appreciated... as well your avatar. :eek: Indeed, I find Te types to be, ehm, too sure of their opinions. I think it has to do with the deductive reasoning of Te. See, by my understanding, their logic is derived from the external evidence that precedes the reasoning, so it...

Duxwing I thought the story was great. The symbolism was intriguing and as a whole it was illuminating. The middle was too long for my taste, but otherwise terrific writing. Assuming you are INTP, it's interesting nothing the differences in writing style. For one thing, you seem to have a good...

From my perspective, it's always funny to witness young Thinkers wield Feeling because it's, by definition, immature and clumsy. I suppose Feeler logic looks the same way to you guys. Maybe we can help each other out since I'm here to train Ti.

Thanks. I've already read some of your posts. You seem interesting. I've heard certain of the other types say they find us, INFJs and INTPs that is, at least from looking at us when we introspect, to have similar demeanor. Tandem functions make people seem more like each other, I guess. In any...

For a people who are supposedly out of touch with feelings, you all sure seem polite and easygoing. I guess that doesn't necessarily entail being in touch with emotion, though. I still very much relate to the sentiment, however. I felt cast out most of my life by the Extraverts and Sensors I...

Thanks. I'll certainly be reading it. I don't know if it's you, but nice avy (;

Thanks. The issue with a lot of INFJs is that INFJ may be the most P-leaning type of all the Js. It's my understanding that the issue can be more complex than what you wrote above, but I would tend to agree. I guess I should have said that I'm pretty sure I'm INFJ, but have the intermittent...

Tanks, pig-man

Hello, I am subwayrider. As with a lot of the other INFs, I've been unsure for some time as to whether I'm the P or J variant. I know a fair amount about MB as well as Enneagram, though I would consider myself an expert by no means. I come here to try and get a better grasp on logic, debate and...

Oh, yes. Best I've seen. No more drinking coffee at night.
