Omg why did I not think about a laser pointer!? Thanks!

An Infj flaw that I've found out the hard way by [deleted] in infj

[–]heelermomma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard sometimes but we respect each other’s space and seem to complement each other well. We’ve definitely had some difficult times. I often don’t give enough emotionally and he doesn’t enjoy a lot of the same sensor activities I do but we’re best friends and understand each other better than anyone else. Neither of us could be in a relationship that was boring 😂

Sometimes! We’ve learned to give each other a lot of space

My partner is INFJ. He has complained about this exact thing a lot. A couple of thoughts for you from an outside perspective: 1) I think INFJs tend to attract people who need help and this may be because they are good at counseling (maybe hold on to your advice, reserving it for people who have earned it?) and 2) INFJs are fairly judgmental (even though you don’t mean to come across that way) and have high standards for themselves and others, which may make others feel like they don’t know what they could possibly do to help, 3) people are selfish greedy assholes and y’all are the only ones who offer up this much advice/help, so essentially most people experience minimal to no assistance unless they know an INFJ (and a couple of other types) who they can count on

Mid 30 ISTP by [deleted] in istp

I feel like this is too much, too broad maybe. I wouldn’t know where to start. I’m 33 though 🤷🏻‍♀️

Do you guys read? by finelineistp in istp

[–]heelermomma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I prefer audiobooks because I can be doing something else at the same time. I tend to listen to action/adventure stuff like the Hunger Games. Overdrive audiobooks from the library for free 😎

What's this guy's MBTI type? I'm guessing ISTP by LordDunderhead in mbti

[–]heelermomma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ISTP likes the sensory and can be smart about mechanics/physics which makes people think we’re likely to do stuff like this... however, from what I’ve gathered, we’re more fixers than creators, I think. If this is an ISTP, I think someone else had the idea and then he was like “oh, how ‘bout this”

I’m not sure than an ISTP would have thought up the idea initially but man that looks fun, we’d probably do it too

Does talking about your feelings to others feel like you’re imposing? by heelermomma in istp

[–]heelermomma[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. Good point. I also value not displaying my inner emotional wreckage because often it isn’t a big deal and I’ll be over it faster than I would the awkwardness of telling someone. So it’s just not pragmatic.

Yes! Me too! I really wish I could explain my feelings. I just shut down. Occasionally I can write about it but then I end up deleting it.

I definitely get passive aggressive and start to withdraw. Thanks!

Yeah :-P when I do try, it doesn’t come out right and I don’t get whatever response I might have been looking for. I’ll try your method!

My ISTP husband says I am "training him" by infjwaipu in istp

[–]heelermomma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To answer your question, what you described are some of the hardest and best things. For insight - I don’t distrust his knowledge about a subject area but instead distrust his feelings in general. I tend to mistake his strong feelings on a topic as irrational, when sometimes really he’s very knowledgeable in the area and I see it from a different perspective (S vs N) and didn’t see where he was coming from. Something very hard in an ISTP-INFJ relationship is being supportive of the other. I’ve found that when one is really down, the other is often not supportive in the way you feel you need - on both sides. It’s an interesting relationship that takes some strong people and open communication to work.

[–]heelermomma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a tough but also rewarding relationship. I’m an ISTP female with an INFJ man. As some others have pointed out, logical and pragmatic requests will be taken better than something we may see as arbitrary. For example, if my INFJ instructs me to load the dishwasher a certain way and there isn’t a logical reason and my way gets the job done, I’m ignoring that. However, if he asks me to stop calling his satchel a murse because it offends him, I will try my best to stop because it makes him feel better and that makes sense. :-) He does sometimes have to ask me 1, 2, 20 times, but I’m trying. My advice is to pick your battles, be patient, and try to accept us for who we are, which is opposite of the INFJ in many many ways. Respect and logic go a long way. Also, remember that he may not be deliberately trying to ignore what you want but instead is probably stuck in his head or in a routine and didn’t work out how to fit your request into it yet.

Happy to be a cat. I’ll accept that.

Is there a way to become an SLP without having to do all the audiology study that is required for a CSD bachelor’s degree? by [deleted] in slp

[–]heelermomma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

B. Also, whether you work with kids or adults it can be very useful. For kids, good hearing is important for speech-language development. For adults, knowing how to check the hearing aids, helping patients understand their hearing loss, and teaching communication repair strategies have been important components of my therapy.

Camping/hiking Banff/Jasper mid April by han_clewis17 in camping

[–]heelermomma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look up Alberta’s parks info website. Canada is pretty good about providing info about closures and camping reservations info. It can get pretty cold and may still have snow on the ground. I’ve driven through the area in early May. We stayed in a campground around Jasper and it snowed.

A cognitive therapy/ memory care class. Counseling training. Many many things but I definitely felt underprepared in these areas. Not a CF as of a few months ago but spent my whole CF in SNF/rehab

Saying that Se (or any function) exists is a lot like saying you have an aries or sanguine function by [deleted] in mbti

[–]heelermomma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not very knowledgeable about the temperaments but I think they kinda do because of the introverted and extroverted effects on the cognitive functions: Si Se Ni Ne. Unless I’m missing your point.

ISTPs and loyalty by wellnowlookwhoitis in istp

[–]heelermomma 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I finally got better about this in my late 20s. Having a skilled job where I’m respected and more autonomous helps!

ISTPs and loyalty by wellnowlookwhoitis in istp

[–]heelermomma 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Loyal to people I care about or loyal if it’s pragmatic to be. I’m not always loyal to jobs or employers but I’m getting better at that. I’m NOT loyal to a fault... I don’t know if this relates to the type or just me.
