What's It Like Being An INFP? Things You Love? Hate?
If You Could Change Anything About Your INFP Personality, What Would It Be?
Something You Didn't Know About Them?
What's Your Interpretation of Being Dubbed "The Idealists"?

If you aren't an INFP, feel free to give your opinion of them below. Afterall, you don't have to answer the questions above. They're merely guidelines.

It can suck at times. :P And this will be long. I never like telling people I'm close to what's wrong, so this is me unloading all of this to strangers. My apologies.

Things that I love...? Hm. I'm extremely self-critical, so give me a moment. Ok, I like that I have a "deep capacity for love," as one site put it. There's nothing I'm more thankful for than knowing that I do have the capacity to care for people, 'cause I don't think very highly of myself and it makes me feel better about myself as a person. Another thing I likeL being sensitive to other's feelings just makes me feel special. XD

I hate that I'm shy. I'm saying that RIGHT NOW. Because there is nothing I would love more than be able to get in there and just socialise with people naturally. :/ Instead I have to think about what I say. Also, I'm reserved and don't like my personal space being invaded. This makes it pretty hard sometimes, especially since it makes my boyfriend suspicious when I get private. Another thing? I feel more than I express. That, coupled with my avoidance to conflict, means I can never actually express what is frustrating and upsetting me. It just builds up until I reach a breaking point, and then I lash out- viciously. It makes me feel guilty later on. Finally, I'm also very critical of myself, which explains why this paragraph is so long. I never give myself any credit if something goes right for once, and then blame myself for things that screw up.

It's kinda hard for me to go over my personality, though, because there are plus and minuses to every side. Also, I'm insecure enough that I've built up all these barriers to convince myself that I don't care about people and stop them from getting close to me, so that I can stop getting hurt all the time. :/ I just don't... trust people. Take my boyfriend for example: I'm just waiting for me to finally trust him, only for him to turn around and immediately break my heart (also, on some level, I just don't want my emotions clouding my judgement when it comes to him, and then cause me to screw everything up). It's unfair to him. I can't love someone if I don't trust them. And some people, especially when they're roleplaying, normally use that "takes forever to trust" personality trait to make their characters sound tougher or more mysterious. But it's not a good thing. It's a suckful thing. I'm willing to bet they don't know what it's like.

Obviously, I would change how shy I was. I would be more outgoing and sociable, with more confidence. Instead, the only time I act like an extrovert is when I'm in a good mood, and you can catch me doing all sorts of crazy things.

Something I didn't know? Quite a few things. Only when I read over my personality, did I realise some things about myself. Like the untrusting side of me, for example. I thought I'd just turned myself into a heartless cow on accident. :P Oh, but the biggest surprise was that I'm not completely crazy. XD Or... well... at least I'm not the only one. I say this because yes: I do slip into a fantasy world to deal with problems. I thought that was only me.

Not sure. But we are Idealists. I've noticed. I often do things, and wonder if that small action to one person, could have a ripple effect and change the world... or at least a large group of people. It's another thing I like about me. It reminds me that I'm not as bad of a person as I often try to make myself out to be.

Lol I got distracted by my boyfriend at some point trying to tell me how perfect I was >.< Convenient timing, considering I was actually listing off everything I hate at the same time. XD

Your boyfriend is so cuite! :3 ♥ Wish mine did half the things yours does. -_-'
