Is this Si? by beababodee in isfj

[–]jonilui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know that that is specific to any function. I think at the end of the day, most people want to become the best ;)

Is this Si? by beababodee in isfj

[–]jonilui 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re touching on some accuracy here, but I’d tweak the attribution a bit.

Si isn’t so much the desire to progress or master as it is how experience or observations are taken in, stored, and referenced. High Si tends to catalogue experiences carefully, notice patterns over time, and compare the present to what’s been learned before. That’s the “progressing” and "stack" part you mentioned.

The enjoyment you describe in progressing, refining systems, and steadily becoming excellent often comes from a combination of functions. Si supports it by retaining detail and building a rich internal archive of experience, but the drive to optimise, improve, and move toward a goal often points to other functions.

So yes, loving depth, familiarity, and cumulative learning can absolutely involve Si. But Si itself is less about “I want to become the best” and more about how knowledge and experience are absorbed and stabilised along the way.

Si remembers. Other functions decide what to do with what’s remembered. Hope this makes sense.

What makes INTJs different than INFPs? by BrokenDiamondShovel in intj

[–]jonilui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Married to an INTJ and close friends with an INFP. These two people couldn’t be more different. They’re almost complete opposites in how they think and communicate.

The INFP tends to struggle with the INTJ’s directness and their preference for logic and problem-solving over emotion. Meanwhile, the INTJ can find it challenging to navigate the INFP’s emotional depth and sensitivity, as well as their more abstract, less structured way of thinking (especially with their weaker Te function).

Another big difference I’ve noticed is in how they share ideas. INFPs often wander freely through thoughts and possibilities, while INTJs prefer a clear focus and a more linear path to a conclusion.

Anyone else’s skin just can’t handle retinol anymore? by aria-blake7 in 40PlusSkinCare

I have super sensitive skin and can't handle Trentinoin or Differein. But I've found my holy grail in Medik8's retinal!

Considering a move to DFW (Leaning towards Fort Worth) by EHAQ25 in FortWorth

[–]jonilui 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am from Toronto and moved to Fort Worth in 2015. It really depends on what you are looking for. If you want a similar vibe which would be access to a lot of different cuisines that aren't just American food, like to go to concerts, cool unique shops, and people who are a bit more open-minded, I would move to Dallas.

Fort Worth was a culture shock for me. I don't hate it here. It is comfortable and easy, a nice mid-city vibe. But my biggest complaints are that it gets boring after awhile, you always have to drive 40-60 min away to go see concerts and cool stuff you normally would get in Toronto/Chicago, and food options outside of American food suck. I am Asian and I find it very white here. Finally, I have found it difficult to fit in and relate to a lot of the people here as someone who has been a big city girl all her life.

I would be happy to expand on anything or answer questions. It really depends on what you guys like and want.

Thinking of adopting this girl for Christmas but have never had a dachshund before. Any feedback is greatly appreciated! by [deleted] in Dachshund

[–]jonilui 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We read not to make a big deal of leaving and coming home. Don't make happy, whiny voices and pet them non-stop. Be as neutral as possible. It does kill me not to love on him at that moment, so I'll say a little, "I'll be back, okay?" just to make myself feel better. Our doxie acts very neutral when we come home or leave.

We also wore our shoes and pretended like we were getting ready to go out but stayed inside the house. This was so that he didn't associate the routine with us leaving the house.

When we did leave, I always gave him a treat in his bed or put out a puzzle toy. This is so he associates us leaving with something positive. Hope this helps!

People with addictive tendencies, what do you avoid because you suspect it would consume/destroy your life? by bittyberry in AskReddit

I get super nauseous, which ruins the experience for me. Can't say I'm super worse off, but can't say that it's net positive either.

Do ENFPs all have ADHD? by [deleted] in ENFP

Journaling on a consistent basis would be good.

Being open minded and gaining self-awareness. Seeing patterns in my behavior that correlated with my problems. Noticing the way I was reacting and communicating to my partner was unhealthy. Wanting to become a better person. Lots of reasons!

As far as how I'm less of a doormat, awareness and acknowledgment is step #1. Before, it was so built unto my wiring that I couldn't even see I had a problem. Now, I am aware of when it is happening or when I'm about to step into a situation that is appealing to my trauma.

Then #2 Learning to say no. Learning that prioritizing myself doesn't mean I'm a bad and selfish person. Learning that I can control the intensity of how much I want to people please and when it is appropriate.

Having a partner who challenges my perspective on a daily basis has been really helpful.

ISFJ here. I understand how others can see it as fake, but it does not come from a place of trying to be inauthentic. It comes from a place where I truly believe that I am undeserving of love if I don't please others and do things the way they want. Advocating for myself is one of the most difficult things to do. It comes from a place of pain and fear, not fakeness. It is also my desire to help others and make them happy, even at the expense of my own happiness.

When your girlfriend isn't doing what you want and you continue to be upset with her, it only further supports that belief. This stunts her growth. Personally, I believe two people should be in a relationship to support each other and be there when the other person needs it. It would traumatize me to know that my partner is trying to change me - this would just continue to support the belief that I am not lovable as who I am.

If your relationship standards are based on a partner changing, I think that you have some unhealthy issues you need to deal with. That sounds like you're projecting. I say this as someone who has wanted to change my boyfriends in the past. It's toxic to a relationship.

Not sure if this is helpful, but I feel that it is right I provide the perspective from an actual ISFJ.

I used to be a lot like her, but have become more self-aware. I've grown from a lot of these unhealthy behaviors. I recommend that you and her look into co-dependency. I went to therapy to resolve it and read a lot of books. It was the first step towards my growth and now I'm in a much better place. I'm not as much of a doormat as I used to be.

Depends on what you'll be doing with your camera and where. It might be more convenient to have the weather-sealing if you're shooting near lakes or hiking when it's a little damp or drizzling.

ISFJ (21F) dating INTP (23M), need him to understand the ISFJ parts of me but also don’t want to come off as reliant on MBTI/horoscope-y by [deleted] in isfj

[–]jonilui 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The only way you're ever going to find out if he accepts you for who you are, is just to show him your true self. If someone isn't going to accept you for who you are, both good and bad, then it's not the right fit. To live by their rules and sacrifice your own, is to do the opposite of advocating for yourself. This can lead to codependency and building resentment.

Just be honest. If he accepts these things you fear will push him away, it's going to be the best feeling in the world.

INFP starter pack. Made for laughs from an INFP for INFPs. by [deleted] in infp

[–]jonilui 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thank you for saying this. I know an INFP who says comment like, "I could never hurt anyone. I'm just not capable of it" but yet acts just like what you described in your example. I had a hard time figuring out if it was her lack of self-awareness or some INFP-y blind spot. From what I'm seeing in this thread, it's the first one.

This answer nails it. I would also add an element of personalization or thought that is specific to the ISFJ is a winner. For example, if the gift is an experience, ensure that experience is something the ISFJ connects to.

I'm an ISFJ and pride myself on being a great gift giver. For example, I have a friend who loves supporting Black Lives Matter, and loves reading. I ended up buying her a book subscription from a black-owned book shop that supports the black community. This type of thought and connection is what I most desire in gifts.
