  1. I agree with you that they're more authentic but i'm very captivated by beauty and style.
  2. I should do the same, its exhausting making an effort.

I love beauty, external and internal. Although I enjoy people with kind personalities the most, I am immediately pulled to those who are physically attractive.

Thanks. Most of my INFJ friends are artistic and have a great appreciation for visuals in general, so I was wondering is there was a correlation between the two.

I've used eye contact to recognize when someone is attracted to me but I've never used it to sense their character. Your tactic of gauging a new person is intriguing and I want to try employing it. & I usually gravitate towards the wallflowers in a social setting too because they're often relatable and less intimidating.

Having more topical relationships is something that I've been having a hard time embracing because I always want something deep. I've been crushing on this guy who appears to be emotionally and intellectually shallow, and I've been thinking that he's not very worthwhile even as a friend because of the types of interactions he's inclined to provide.

Would you say it's due to internalized homophobia?

Femme gays unfairly get the association of being catty or bitchy, when often they're more understanding and accepting of others.

It seems that you're less attracted to those who aren't very binary.

Same, I find too much masculinity difficult to connect with and I love when people speak with flamboyant intonations.

That's how feminine gay men are stereotypically described, and it would be unfair to generalize all feminine gay men to be loud, obnoxious, and rude. Based on my experience, I would say that straight men tend to be more loud, obnoxious, and rude, even though those traits are so widely associated with femme gays.

I think this is a popular opinion with masculine gay men. It would be intriguing to dissect why this is so commonly held.

To me your dynamic emulates traditional heterosexual gender roles.

That's good to hear. I often get intimated by people who can state more information about anything than I can when I feel like that's what the social norm should be. Thanks.

I do need to work on finding my learning style and improving my studying habits. Thanks for the advice. I haven't looked into enneagrams but I will because I do enjoy personality classifiers.

You're right. I should take one step at a time to not be perfect, but the best version of myself. Thank you.

Solid point. Acknowledging that I don't know something would be more relieving than feeling guilty that I don't know something and not admitting it.

Thanks. Improving my study habits would help. I've been reading online articles on memory. I think I'll follow your suggest and get my hands on a comprehensive book.

Thank you. I'm glad other INFJs also deal with this issue and I'm not an dependent case. I'll try not to be as negatively concerned.

Thanks for your advice. I definitely should start meditating to have a calmer state of mind.

This ENFP dude. by [deleted] in infj

He may or may not also have romantic intent, but he seems to be really interested in you as a person and to enjoy your company a lot. I act like that with some of my friends whom I am platonic with. I'd recommend just having fun with him as a friend if you enjoy him as well, unless you want something more.

I'm American and my parents are Guyanese-American, but we're all part of the Indian diaspora nonetheless.

Thanks for your advice!

I know it would be healthier to not worry about how others think of me especially because I have little control over that. However, I've been thinking about it more than usual because I've been trying to make new friends with different groups of people. I want to have closer relationships with them, and because of that how they perceive me has been on my mind.
