Preface:
The INFJ personality type is by in large most misunderstood type. This is mainly do to the incompetence of MBTI implementation, by introducing personality types by a single description. Nobody was ever meant to match up perfectly to a single description. The MBTI…

I’m a big fan of this but. Under the Guru “(at least they think they did)” … like REALLY? Must you insert a snide devaluing remark and THEN go on to write a whole paragraph on the looney, weak, and self serving “False Gurus”? LOW BLOW. some of us “normal folk” infjs actually do reach pure enlightenment for periods of time, or forever. You already have a paragraph on the fake gurus, leave the first one alone, is it that hard to believe? 

INFJ Confession 250) I feel like I’m standing on the edge of everything, like that Switchfoot song. On the edge of what I am and what I can be, of how things are and how I want them to be. And all the while I’m just standing. Too afraid to take a step forward, and too hopeful to take a step back.
INFJ Confession 206) I often know when people are crushing on me long before they intend to show it. This makes me really uncomfortable because I don’t usually reciprocate the feelings. So I usually just ignore it and treat them as normal, but then I’m torn between feeling that I’m saving them from embarrassment and that I’m giving them false hope.

haha this! 

My mind’s in the past. My heart’s in the future. My body’s in the here and now. My soul’s in pursuit.

antinpursuit:

Anybody ever feel torn like this?

Yes I identify alot with your statement. Your soul is in pursuit, a beautiful one though. Embrace it. I have some videos on the subject, they might resonate with you? Peace and blessings. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8U_P6x0qdA

81) Feeling lonely and wishing so hard that you could lower your standards for people. To just be easy and fit in for once… wait who was I kidding?
83) Wanting to meet that person that can grow YOU for a change.

Yes everyone we meet does helps us grow. But it’s different. 

oldgrowth:

This is basically a let down relationship. In a way these two are each other’s shadow cast in light. This could be good right? Well sort of. The problem lies in that the functions do not match up perfectly the way an INFJ and ENFP would. INFJ: Ni Fe Ti Se/ Ne Fi Te Si. INFP: Fi Ne Si Te/ Fe Ni Se…

oldgrowth:

Ni: Hero: Oh Ni how I love thee so. You give me such clear and divine direction, so pure, so true. Decisions? What decisions?! Those take a millisecond. So easy, all i need is you, gut instinct. :) You solve everything. Well, the big things at least. Now off you go, do good deeds i’ll be waiting…

oldgrowth:

I think it’s really important for us INFJs to look into our shadow side. Maybe even more so than other types because we are so, well, us. I feel myself finally entering (the very beginnings of) the third stage of shadow integration and it feels so good. Like finally, I’ve made it over this…
