alone time

Hi guys, well, probably this isn't much about INFJs in general but anyways... I have an INFJ boyfriend, we've been together since a year ago. I'm 23 and he's 25. Everything's going good at first. We're both INFJs and we see a lot of similarities between ourselves, including us being...

This is my first time to post a new thread. I hope people of all personality types will feel welcome to respond with their thoughts. As an INFP, I have struggled in both my personal and professional life with managing strong emotions while around other people. Sometimes there just doesn't seem...

Hello PerCafe, first of all sorry for my English, I'm trying my best!:unsure: I tested as ESFP, and I do find myself in this type's description. But I have some doubts regarding my extraversion. Well to start, I love being around people. I'm the loudest in my group of friends, I enjoy meeting...

Do you have one? You know, a physical place you go to retreat from the noisy world and the demands of all the needy people around you? Last night, I got back from a three day camping trip. On the trip, I had no downtime from people, no private or personal space even at night. The one time I...

[Rant] PARENTS, Socializing as an Introvert and "Setting an Example for Siblings" Hello! [rant] Just had a fight with my dad over not being social enough for his silly standards. Yeah, I do avoid any kind of socializing most of the time, because well, that's what I'm like and I guess if you...

Today I had a lot of alone time, felt good... Real good. I like my social interaction (sometimes) but after social interactions and I'm alone it's all like dat feelz.

Greetings all! I'm an INTJ and am searching for the maximum way to recharge after being socially overstimulated. Reasons: 1. Business owner What I have tried. 1. Writing helps me to focus my mind. This pulls me out of the abstract world and help me recharge. 2. Cardio- Focuses my mind on one...

I need alone time quite often - every day for sure, and prolonged periods of alone time are even better. Luckily I work alone. But I also like to be around people, and even talk to people, every day as well. What about withdrawing periodically? The only time I do that is when I am depressed...

I have a feeling this would be more of a problem to 5w4s than to 5w6s but we'll see what kind of responses show up on this topic. Every now and again I get stuck in this cycle where I start feeling lonely because I'm not getting noticed enough but I don't really want to spend extra time with...

As an INTP, do you have problems with friends accusing you of "disappearing" on them when they're not keeping in touch themselves? I have this problem all the time, but I've noticed that even though keeping in touch is a 2-way street, I'm always the scapegoat for the long intervals between...

How much of it do you get, and what do you do with it? I get hardly any, if any, which is starting to really hurt me. If I have it, I normally read or listen to music, sometimes watch movies or just fall asleep.

That means I'm OFF-LIMITS because I will out-debate you, out-think you and otherwise intimidate you and undermine your self-confidence. LOL! I don't do it on purpose! Maybe this forum can help me figure out how to get along better with the Se. In the meantime, are there any male Protectors out...

I don't know if this kind of thread has been done before but.... I was wondering do ENFJs enjoy their alone time? I know they don't "need" it to recharge their batteries (as they are E's) but do they like being alone just to think or get away from people sometimes? Just out of curiosity :laughing:
