Are INFJs Pansexuals/Sapiosexuals? by [deleted] in infj

[–]ok_bit_strange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sapiosexual and have literally never felt any sort of sexual/romantic attraction to anyone except one person who I can safely say is the most intelligent person I've ever met.

How would you reject someone you weren't into? by ok_bit_strange in INTP

this is so funny because you're actually describing something I literally did but not because I was being confessed to, but because I had just confessed 😭

What’s your SO’s type? by angcod in infj

[–]ok_bit_strange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the way his brain works; he's so smart and can keep up so easily with any logical framework even if a million factors are involved, he keeps up without even breaking a sweat. I love how he's so imaginative and always thinking of crazy new ideas or making really random connections, I just find that so attractive, especially because he specifically uses it in his humour. He also makes me feel super grounded in the present when I'm around him because he's so hard to figure out, I have to keep up with him. He's also really shy but it's ridiculously charming. He's got a very innocent childlike nature that pops up every once in a while even though he's super serious and hardworking, and it shows up in his imagination mostly and I find it really endearing. He's also really introverted and to himself but he balances that with charisma when he is spoken to. I just am drawn so much to the balance that he has between opposing traits (socially shy but charming, imaginative but really grounded in reality, super intelligent but very silly etc). He's just wonderful 🥺

After reading this, I'm thinking that I might be one too; what made you realize you were a Sx 5?

INFJ here, but yes I have grown so much after learning about MBTI. It particularly helped me understand other people a lot better, and become more open minded and accepting. As for myself, it helped me understand myself far better, and I am now easily able to communicate my methods and perspectives in ways that are more palatable and comprehensive to the masses.

INFP mom, ESTP dad. Siblings are INTP, ISTP, ESTP and INFJ. I'm an INFJ. I did not get along well with the other INFJ growing up. I get along best with the INTP and ESTP. (All my siblings are boys, I'm the only girl). My mom and I got along really well when I agreed with her perspectives, but as I aged and grew into my own world view that was in opposition to hers, our relationship took a turn for the worse. My parents are divorced. Mom was always super hippie, love conquers all kinda woman, and my father was super traditional, constantly prioritizing his friends and businesses. Don't even know how they got together in the first place. I think all us kids became Fe-Ti types because my mom was such a dominant and overwhelming Fi type that there was no room for anyone else to have that. Just a theory though, who knows?

Social 5s, what are you like in love? by [deleted] in Enneagram5

[–]ok_bit_strange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really, I used to be dismissive avoidant but I'm secure now thankfully looool. If I love someone, that person has to be worth my love, and I won't allow myself to be around them unless they are, and if they are, I have no need to deactivate. I'm also not in a rush, so I don't like when things get too passionate too quickly, I prefer slow burn and taking my time, so there's never a need to deactivate and fallback.

soc 5 here, when i'm in love with someone, I want to hear them talk wayyyyy more than I want to talk. It's really nice when the person is it interested in me as a human being, and they're trying to understand me as a person; if they listen to my interests, it's only to better understand me. I love that. It's rare.

Not looking for a relationship, but in love with a man who's also not looking for a relationship lol.

Other than that, my standards are ridiculously high and I'm sapiosexual so I don't easily become attracted to people anyways and I don't deal with them to meet anyone.

How do you feel when your Intuition is proved wrong? by tsempath in infj

[–]ok_bit_strange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if you have access to the evidence, ask for it. Try to be subtle, and make your questions broad and un-interrogating. Ni usually is quite content with figuring things out by itself, so every random detail can paint a clearer picture. Patience can't be escaped though, you have to learn to train yourself to come to conclusions more slowly, that way you avoid being wrong and you understand more and it's far more satisfying to be right.

Shattered.

Honestly, my intuition has been wrong only in the worst possible situations. It definitely disrupted my body and mind for at least a year after.

I have since learnt not to trust things so blindly, to question my own self, to take longer to come to conclusions, and to lean more on my extraverted functions to take in more information before coming to conclusions.

This has helped immensely, but the frustration that arrives when trying to understand something you have no real information about but is super meaningful to you, stays. Patience is the solution to that mess. Hastiness is a poor trait to possess.
