I thought this would be a fun discussion to see what people say...
What are some clear signs that you're an INFJ??

But how do we know these things? I have no clue..I just know what I know...can't explain why, but close ones, only 4, very cautious that way, say that my intuition/ mind reading/ perception is so strong, and a mystery to them, but they bring it up..not me.
My withdrawal scares them, I try to explain that I need that quiet time so I can process and renew, come back stronger...

...Yes, can be a bit scary knowing that you could sense the coming end of someone's life. Doesn't happen often, but when it does, it hits in a way that is almost indescribable. To put it in picture terms, it looks like there is a coming 'greyness' to the days, that builds up to a feeling of 'darkness', then a feeling of tension, like something is about to break or snap like a guitar string stretched too tight, then you get the phone call. I wonder how many of us have encountered this sort of scenario? If so, do we speak of it? Are we afraid of this ability? And, is it more delicate than speaking of 'suicide', like elsewhere on this blog?... I wonder, because it - and associated events, have happened to me and as such defy explanation... It appears that it is easy to speak of comfortable aspects of our talents, like sussing out motivations and such, yet...these things are part of the picture, too....
...I too struggle with getting sufficient 'quiet' time... I find that my loved ones are very disturbed.when I 'go' there. They almost always think there is something wrong, when there isn't... I do, however, 'swim' in the ether just sort of taking in the vibes and following trails to see where they lead. I do a lot of writing, making music and art during those episodes. I end up with a tenuos feeling or feelings that I need to track because of their significance, mystically or ephemeral in nature as well. I can say that those withdrawals are terribly important and the longer I go without having such periods or opportunities, the more desperately I need them. Even my loved one whom is an INFP doesn't get it, she tries to keep me moving when she sees me going into that state.. Sorry if I'm going off topic here with these comments...

When you start a new job, and, in your period of "adjustment" you seem to gather the general 'vibe' of the place to see if people like working there, what their expectations might be of you, etc.
Also...when you're in a group, you 'feel people out' and pick the one that seems to 'gel' the most with you to talk to. It's mainly just a feeling, like "hey, I could talk to this person."
Good stuff.

I have yet to have any real serious job experience, but I do know what you mean about getting vibes from new (really any) environment.
I do the same thing when it comes to groups. It is rare that I click with everyone in a group setting, but I can usually pick out one person who is relatively easy to talk to.
Nicole/Shea - I have the exact same tendency, I 'look' for a person with the right vibe. I have a job that requires me to go to huge meetings, and the first thing I do is pick a seat in the back of the room where I can take a test of the climate. Then I work my way over to someone that 'feels' right to me on breaks...

When you are capable of loving those close to you so much it hurts, and your feelings feel so much deeper and stronger than others seem to feel them, and leaving those you love for anything longer than a short while makes you feel like you are breaking in pieces, but when you try to express this love to those people, nothing comes out right if you even manage to say anything at all, and then it just hurts more because you know what you wanted to say and just couldn't say it. And then you feel that you will never be able to really tell the people you love how much you care about them, even though you feel it so strongly. And then you go and write about it in a blog or journal because writing is just so much easier than talking.

This totally agree with this right here
I love my family to death and would do anything for them, but I can never let them know that I love them without end. I can only show glimpses of this and not very often.

Can I get an amen to that? Said goodbye to 6 of my closest friends and favorite people in the last 3 days, and I won't get to see any of them for two and a half years. Everyone else was saying things like, "oh yeah, I was sad for a bit but now I'm just glad to be going home!" (Just finished my second semester of college), and I'm sitting there thinking to myself, "But.. I'm still really sad.. and I'm going to keep being sad because I love you guys and I don't want to leave." And my roommates finally had to tell me to just stop crying, because I'd been crying on and off in our dorm for two days, and I was the only one having such a hard time with it. So I kept the crying to myself in my bedroom, and am now sitting alone; everyone's moved out and I'm by myself until Monday, and I'm feeling very depressed. I struggle with depression a lot; it goes in cycles. Saying goodbye is one of the hardest things for me to do, I think because I feel emotions so much more strongly and find it hard to live in the present - so I relive happy and painful memories at the same time and get overwhelmed with the emotions.
Yup. Get out my mind.

Yeah, it's almost like you have to find someone to 'anchor you' to the group, so that you're not just someone that's creeping along the edges. :crazy:
I do this as well...in any kind of group, really. Though I did notice that, during my orientation (small group of around 10/12, set up meeting style) that I just was quiet for the most part, but then found that person that just seemed to 'pop out' at me to talk to. Yay for having video games in common with a lot of people. X3Nicole/Shea - I have the exact same tendency, I 'look' for a person with the right vibe.

When going through a breakup/relationship issues, your immediate instinct is to soul search for every single thing you might have possibly done wrong, instead of looking at the other person's behavior.

That you know you have so much love to give. But keep hearing the dreaded words "But I like you as a friend."

You know you're an INFJ when:
-You don't open letters/emails from that certain someone right away. No sir, you must daydream about what it might contain first.
Might not be true for all INFJs though..
