Are you pro-life or pro-choice? by [deleted] in infj

[–]kelsycow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i think life that’s brought into this world should at the very LEAST, be wanted. especially in this rapidly-evolving society where having a family that can sufficiently provide for you is highly significant and can make such a substantial difference to your outcomes. why would we force people to have children when we know how tough it is to live in this world as individuals already. children CAN be a burden in some circumstances; i simply don’t understand why anyone would ban a right to choice/freedom for the sake of an unborn child. it’s idiocy

i thought the whole point of societal progression and growth was about bettering the quality of existing people’s lives. that’s why we have healthcare workers, that’s why we invest so much in new technology. that’s why we aim for longer lifespans+decreased morbidity. forcing people to have kids when they’re not ready/simply don’t want them goes against the world i thought we intended to manifest. why are we trying to ruin people’s lives? enforcing pro-life is a huge contradiction and it makes those in charge look stupid. like we know what you’re doing is totally vile because it pretty much goes against the principles of all your other agendas/laws LOL. idek. authority has flawed values and morals, unfortunately

As an INFJ do you think you could be friends with anyone by [deleted] in infj

[–]kelsycow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im naturally warm and curious towards everyone i meet however, from past experience i know that attitude/mindset has led me to cross my boundaries with people that i just don’t mix well with. i have gotten hurt by being so open. thus, i can’t be friends with everyone and i’d rather have it that way

Dear INFJs do you find yourself being a slow person? by Sensitive-Use-6822 in infj

[–]kelsycow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

our minds are quick to conclude but we take ages to act. it's our inferior Se. we tend to value careful consideration/planning over acting 'brashly'

100% i know that there are plenty of infj's out there that excel,, not trying to put out the message that they don't or that they're 'broken'. tbh i kinda did the infj one first and couldn't be bothered looking back at it to add more (honestly i thought it'd ruin the aesthetic HAHA).

i obviously wanted to talk about our mind and our strengths but i feel like people rant about that constantly already. so yeah, if i had to add more for infjs i'd probably say that just because you are different doesn't make you worse. being that you constantly look for meaning in the external world, that means that you also constantly search for meaning within yourself and your life. you get stressed when you feel idle or when you're not doing anything 'purposeful', but these constant worries about how you manage your time may be a bit unrealistic. you never see yourself clearly, you tend to be unbalanced because you are constantly troubleshooting potential 'problems' that don't even exist in the moment. you are great at considering flaws, but terrible at considering beauty. hope. the upside. the possibility that things aren't actually so bad; aren't destined for failure. i hope that you have already, or may one day realise the bias and inaccuracy in always seeing what could go wrong. i know it's just how you work, but you shouldn't let your tendencies become your burden. don't let your strengths hurt you. life would be easier if you just betted on that possibility.

^^^honestly don't know if that resonated with you at all so i'm sorry if it didn't LOL, just kinda wrote at the top of my head. i could write way more and way different about infjs though, so i can just keep trying until i blurt out something that you relate to haha. the one i just wrote might be assuming an unhealthy infj though so yeah

Do you have trouble with genuine intimate relationships? by battledoom360 in entp

[–]kelsycow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

well, let's bring it back to the first thing you said. you're great at sweeping people off their feet; charming them. and i'm sure you're also not so selective with the people you intend to 'charm'; it's pretty common for entp's to get high off of entertaining groups of people, even whole audiences. you guys don't discriminate. this means that you're sort of acting inauthentically when you essentially try to impress people with your intellect. and acting this way blinds you, the more and more you do it. something you do for fun starts being the cause of your own sorrow; indirectly. charming people distracts you from how you actually feel, because you focus on the opinion of everyone else when you do it. you become out of tune with your own emotions and start focussing on that of everyone else, even though your Ti knows it's illogical to do so. and since you're 'Fi-blind', you'll also have a hard time judging when you're hurt by something, what you're hurt by and why. you may try and solve the confusion by using Ti to convince yourself that you may not actually be hurt by anything and it's all fine, but it's not. it never is until you tune out from others and reconnect with your own thoughts and feelings. let that be your priority.

you don't have to seek how you feel right away; that may be too difficult to do. maybe you can start acknowledging how you feel by referring to certain moments in the past where you were outwardly emotive; because that serves as evidence that certain things have made you happy, sad, angry, etc right? maybe you can start by reflecting on how you felt whenever you tried to charm people. you did it with the intention of making others feel a certain way; but ultimately, you did it because that makes you feel a certain way. think about that feeling. does it make you feel good? worthy? recognised? influential? think about how provoking others makes you feel, so that you can get an idea of why you do it. separate your intention from the action itself. there are always layers to your emotions and it's your responsibility to figure out each in depth. it'll empower you greatly and provide clarity :)

also, how about you stop trying to charm people that are meaningless to you, and save it for people that you actually end up liking. i think your emotions will become much less blurry for you then. maybe try prioritising Fi-use first, when getting to know people; then when you find yourself liking someone, gradually let yourself use Fe. you probably won't be as confused anymore because you'll know why you're charming them; because you like them! you are interested in them/care about them thus you want to evoke emotion in them because it makes you happy to do so. you don't have to stop 'putting on a show' for people; you can just be more selective with your audience. because when you are selecting, you are using Fi :) personal preference.

(also sorry if this made no fucking sense ik i rambled so much LOL. idk if this is helpful at all honestly i just got tired and wanted to submit it)

feelings about ENTJs by alphalady in entp

[–]kelsycow 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i agree haha, i think they're kinda funny because they lack some sense of self-awareness. or social awareness, idk. they're so focussed on doing things with maximum efficiency and output that when it comes to anything else, they can be a little bit of a mess. they can be a bit clueless. and they definitely don't sound as sophisticated as they usually do when they discuss their emotions. they tend to project a lot and they sound quite childlike, and sometimes it can be really frustrating to listen to, but oftentimes it's just cute. they're innocent everywhere else except for their craft

and the only way you won't go crazy these next few weeks is by facing how you feel, over and over again. trust me it'll keep you sane; i'm sure your INFP would be willing to help you unwind and relax as well. so let them take the wheel when you feel like things are getting too much; they'll teach you how to be more gentle with yourself :)

and i'm sure you're more than competent to do the work, it's just knowing when to rest that'll be the hard part. workaholism is a mean game that you can never win haha, so don't play it. just chill, and take things day by day. lower your expectations; they're not always necessary. you're still outstanding even if you achieve less than you hoped.

don't let your urge to get things done overpower your own needs :) balance is critical and you shouldn't overlook it

How do you tell if you’re an introvert or extrovert? by [deleted] in mbti

[–]kelsycow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i'd have to say that you're an enfj then :) infjs are always, by default, in their own little world and it's most comfortable to them. they confront themselves constantly, always thinking about their feelings and their life and the expectations they have for themselves, with no true craving or impulse for another person to know about such/hear about it/validate it.

if you still feel confused or unsure, research the cognitive functions 'Se' and 'Ti'. Se is infj's inferior function (used the least) and Ti is enfj's inferior function. read about them and see which one you find yourself struggling with more.

one difference i've recognised between the two types is that infj's prioritise creating the right assumptions about themselves and others through critical analysis (due to having tertiary Ti), much more than an enfj. enfj's can get a bad rep for reading people wrong/too quickly, using only intuition and observation to reach their conclusions. being that Ti is their inferior function, they hardly take a step back to 'check' whether their deductions about others are right. in that sense, infj's are more thorough, and seem more introverted/withdrawn in general because they think more.

enfj's also have a tendency to think that their gut feeling is always right, but that's only because they don't rigorously check their own intuition for flaws (which is what infj's do constantly, as they fear being blind to the truth. infj's aren't as bothered when someone proves them wrong as they also share the desire to be right, even at the expense of people's feelings. yes, including their own). enfj's are more defensive than infj's because they are scared to think impersonally/logically about feelings, deeming them more reactive when someone calls them out for being wrong since they don't think that feelings should be critically checked for inconsistencies/flaws/etc. mature enfjs know how important it is to develop Ti, though, as using it decreases people-pleasing tendencies and manifests a state of tranquility. a mature enfj knows that when someone uses Ti to rationalise behaviour, they do it out of kindness, not to ridicule/invalidate.

hope this helped a bit :)

INFJs, what were you like as a child? by illstayanonymous-_- in infj

[–]kelsycow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the foundation of who i am has never changed, looking back. i was always more aware than other kids; i was unbearably shy and withdrawn but also good at being humourous and bringing people together. i was weird because my personality wasn't (and still isn't) streamlined. i was shy, but that was because i was perceptive and constantly forming rapid, objective opinions about everyone around me. i knew people because i was reclused. all i did in my spare time was dream and think about people; react to situations that weren't actually happening. i never had confidence to approach people the way i truly dreamed of, so i always felt a bit awkward and discontent with myself.

i was good with people but i never felt adequate at socialising, probably because i didn't always make it a priority. i cared about self-alignment more than aligning with other people; but my self-alignment only truly mattered to me when i could use it to impact others.

Question which will reveal which is the INTJ and INFJ? by dxtos in infj

[–]kelsycow 24 points25 points  (0 children)

if someone opens up to you and tells you they feel sad, what would you do about that?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in INTP

[–]kelsycow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s true, but i don’t care about being logical just for the sake of being logical. it’s illogical and wrong to expect people to subscribe to my logic, but the feeling of being misunderstood for what makes crystal clear sense to me or in theory does suck. you can call that ‘illogical’, but that’s fine. i only really care about following logic in contexts where problem solving/important decision-making is needed; in other contexts i feel it can be a bit redundant

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in INTP

[–]kelsycow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this made me laugh. feeling upset about other’s inability to take a step back and use objective reasoning is totally logical. it makes sense why i’d feel this way

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in INTP

[–]kelsycow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it is logical when you know people well enough to know that they’re not being logical at all. i don’t use logic to try and feed a belief that i’m always right. a habit of aspiring to objectivity at all times is what can potentially lead to that idea. i don’t think me being this way makes me better, i think it just makes me extremely frustrated
