When I read this it felt as though I wrote this… I know exactly how you feel… Growing up I never fit in, I was not really shy but I was just serious and distant. I felt drained after school days for no apparent reason. I avoided close friendships in fear of conflict. I felt as if I didn’t belong in this world. Like any second some mythical being would transcend and tell me I am a supernatural being… But obviously that never happened… lol Feels good to know I am not the only one that sits up at night constantly pondering life and the future…

Wow, wow, wow. Great post. Amazingly written. Every word you have spoken resonates so deeply within me as I am sure it does for so many other INFJs. We are rare and special. Our brains continue to fascinate me day in and day out.

I have recently taken this personality test for one of my courses at school, now I remember taking it in junior high school but I did not remember my results. Also being an INFJ (and I have taken it multiple times from different websites all ending in the same result) I am finally able to explain things about myself that I never really understood. I have to say this is truly mind opening- and I encourage anyone who hasn’t taken this test to at least try it, you will be surprised!

All or Nothing. I never realized this until you mentioned it. Thank you.

One thing that I have found is that many of our personality characteristics can be looked at both positively and negatively. So much of our personality is warm and caring to others but we also need to be warm and caring towards ourselves. It feels like I need to reassure myself every once in a while that it will be okay.. everything will always wind up okay.

As I continue to research more and more about INFJ’s, I am truly learning so much about myself. Explanations on why I am the way I am, I tend to go through phases where I push people away to be by myself, but then other times I feel a need to be around people..

Regardless, thank you for your insight it truly helped me out.

Thank you for this – I really needed it. I’ve been in a recharge period for a few days, withdrawing from friends and loved ones, and feeling miserable for doing it because most don’t understand, or think I’m exaggerating my need for solitude.

This reminds me that there are people out there, like me, who understand.

Oh, wow. It’s like you got into my head and then cut-and-pasted everything you found there. May I reblog this so everybody I know can understand me?
