That's my ex-wife.

I would add:

May be so overwhelmed with their own feelings that no one else's matter.
May neglect all practical necessities if they feel they are unfulfilled emotionally.
Anger may manifest as extreme passive-aggression.
May avoid admitting to any opinion or preference regarding an issue while secretly harboring one.

But you know, when they are sweet they are really, really sweet. :happy:

8/19 so I guess it's not too bad XD. I kind of had more though.. but I didn't completely agree. I do sometimes feel like a victim but I more often blame myself for everything. I also have a bad temper at times but I'm rarely very angry.. I'm more sad than anything else.

I have difficulty with all of this to some extent.
The bolded ones are what I struggle with the most, and even then I'm aware they're problems that I try to keep under control.

The things about criticism, I remind myself that it's likely I'm being unrealistic.
While I may appear strange to others, its not exactly a mystery to me. I can sense when I've made things awkward and I'm pretty good at using my strangeness to my advantage by turning it into a joke and putting others at ease.
As for being stressed or overwhelmed about disagreement, well, I tend to hide my opinions and views for this reason.
I keep my expectations of people under control as well. If I realize I'm being unreasonable, I take some time to myself to put things into perspective.

Yupp, I know I didn't cover a few... that's because I haven't found solutions for them yet. Haha.

I've definitely had varying degrees of all the bolded bits. I'm not always like this but there definitely have been instances of the above.

 

[Vaka]

I need to read the INFJ version of that. My mom is an INFJ and she seems to be able to fit most of those...
Especially the 'seeing criticism where there is none', and being closed to other ideas or perspectives if they cross one of her values.

About half of all of these would apply to me at different times in my life. Especially "may develop strong judgments that are difficult to unseed against people who they perceive have been oppressive or suppressive to them". I strongly dislike power-seekers who I'm forced to spend time with.

I'm often told I'm out of touch with reality but I don't believe that I am...
