Another possiblity is that you are an INFJ with Inferior Se function. For me, having Inferior Se has meant that I have a strong desire to live in the moment at times, and sometimes Se completely overtakes me for a short time; but it's not something that I can easily access at any time, nor easily control when it comes upon me unawares.I think the difficulty with living in the moment could be if you are using your tertiary introverted intuition fuction instead of your auxiliary extraverted sensing function.
It's not that I don't want to be INFJ. It's just that, being a young mother, I often try to act more like an ISFJ, and then when I am unsuccessful I get really down on myself. Learning more about INFJ functions has helped me to be able to better accept what I am and work with my preferences rather than against them. Still, being able to switch into ISFJ mode at will certainly would be handy...but I've given up trying that tactic; it wasn't good for my mental health.@ vocalist- aw why don't you want to be an infj?
This part definitely makes you sound like an INFJ. The desire to help people, and to improve society according to our own personal vision, seems to be a hallmark of INFJs. For instance, I want to be a personal trainer for pregnant and post-partum women to help improve the health of that population, as well as giving them the "tools" they need to give their children a healthier start in life.I guess this post might seem a bit defensive. But the thing is, I want to go into a career in psychology and international relations. I want to spend my life studying people and the ways in which we relate to each other, express ourselves, arrange ourselves into societies, form our cultures, and where that's going to take us in the future. I want to understand- and try to improve. Being an INFJ would mean that at least I have a natural aptitude towards the thing I want to do, which isn't something that happens very often.
Haha, I like this :crazy:A stray bullet from a gang shootout flies straight at your head.
You have absolutely no way of stopping the missile. It is going to hit your brain.
Suddenly the fabric of time stops and a suited man materialized instantly at your side. You find yourself unable to move, but, somehow, you can hear the mysterous man speak to you in a overly formal english accent
"You might be wondering who I am," he begins "but that is most inconsequential. What deserves your consideration is the bullet in front of you. You see, I am unable to stop that bullet from piercing your brain; it is against the rules, you see."
He senses your desperation and lets it linger before he begins again:
"Now what I Can do is give you a choice." His tone turns even more serious and businesslike, "if you rush to tilt your head to the left, you will survive but you introverted intuition function will be rendered unusable for the rest of your life. Now if you rush to tilt your head right, you will survive as well, but your introverted sensing function will be rendered unusable for the rest of your life. If you turn into any other direction, you will just die"
He holds three fingers in front of you. He lowers the fist one: 2. Then 1. Then you are out of fingers.
"Choose wisely"
Time starts at a sloughed pace, as if it has been woken up from a nap. You feel the power of movement, once more. In the drawn out split second, you turn you head ____________
