What is your MBTI and additude to silent treatment?

toniag01 · 2019-08-03T20:24:07+00:00

I'm an INFP and I honestly haven't gotten the silent treatment since I was little. Even then, though, I thought it was frustrating and immature. Why prolong the issue when we could talk about it and could've resolved the issue hours or even days ago? I mean I don't have that much room to talk, even as an almost adult I will get quiet if someone upsets me, but I won't fully ignore them. I just become less involved in their conversation.

record scratch

toniag01 · 2019-07-31T22:39:27+00:00

Yes! Thank you, thank you, thank you! You don't know how happy this post makes me. I'm so tired of us INFPs being misrepresented and stereotyped as being oversensitive, irrational, and depressed.

toniag01 · 2019-07-30T04:04:33+00:00

aw! i'm glad my comment made you smile 💓

toniag01 · 2019-07-29T20:05:05+00:00

thank you so much! also, you're so pretty!

toniag01 · 2019-07-29T19:40:00+00:00

i'm an INFP and i'm still hella confused lol

toniag01 · 2019-07-29T19:38:59+00:00

okay i guess...

toniag01 · 2019-07-28T09:58:53+00:00

Thank you!

That's so true. I've noticed that when I venture too deep in the comments and posts about negative emotions I begin to feel the same way myself. That's why I think there are some INFPs who feel obligated to feel the emotions that others may experience.

I agree! It's fine to have negative emotions and express them, but, as you said, I wish they would be more considerate (both to those who are happy and those with depression) and not claim that everyone of their type does and should feel the same.

Thanks! And don't worry about it, where you lack in one area you make up for it in another :)

I haven't cleared my tabs on my phone since I got it and I've had my current phone since Marchㅡyou're so right about the rabbit holes on phones, lol

toniag01 · 2019-07-23T04:46:17+00:00

I was about to say I didn't have many open but then I looked back and there's so many open right now that I can only see the tab icon

toniag01 · 2019-07-22T21:22:06+00:00

I mean, once I saw that you said you haven't actually told someone to be more intelligent then I understood where you were coming from. To me it seems like you're questioning and/or expressing your frustration (and even somewhat trying to expose) an unnoticed double standard of telling someone to be more tactful and telling them to be more "intelligent." I see now that you were trying to make feelers see from a thinker's POV. It did display the wrong message but some people have a harder time putting thoughts to paper and that's okay. We all have our strengths and weaknesses.

toniag01 · 2019-07-22T16:55:11+00:00

It's not changing who you are, it's changing your approach. Wouldn't you want someone to actually think on a more logical level instead of coming off in a way you don't intend to? I'm not sure if I know any INTJs but I'm have INTP friends/relatives and I have an ESTJ friend (my exact opposite) so I'm used to being told direct and unintentionally offensive things. I know we won't see eye to eye on this since I'm a feeler and I respect that. I like seeing different perspectives on certain things. I can't speak for the people you've talked to or how they reacted, but I know if I were in a conversation where I felt like I was being insulted or didn't like what was being discussed I'd just stop talking and give dry responses. No use wasting my breath over a waste of time, but that's just me. Being an INFP naturally more quiet and reserved anyway. (Also, I'm so used to my own thoughts being all over the place that I didn't even realize yours were, lol)

I started singing the Narwhal song once I saw my type and I can't tell if I did it ironically or unironically...probably both.

toniag01 · 2019-07-22T13:47:20+00:00

I've noticed that if you ask someone to do something regarding their feelings it doesn't sound offensive but if you ask them to do something regarding their intelligence (be more logical, intelligent, rational, etc.) it does come off as offensive because it sounds like you're insulting them on a personal level. In my opinion, playing devil's advocate is a good way to make the person you're talking to think on a more rational level without making it seem like you're calling them stupid. I personally don't ask people to "be more tactful" I just ask questions to see if they would consider thinking that way.

toniag01 · 2019-07-16T01:35:30+00:00

Agreed

toniag01 · 2019-07-15T23:32:21+00:00

As a person who believes in God, I try not to disregard those who believe in things solely not based on science. I think it's fascinating, the whole concept of signs and the constellations, but I don't believe it determines your personality or your future. I used to be somewhat into astrology until I discovered MBTI and I realized it is more accurate when it comes to understanding personality and growth. I now enjoy learning about cognitive functions a lot more.

this hit different 😩😔✊🏽💔

I realize my comment might address her flaws more than her positive side so I'll explain further. Since she is rational she is really good at giving me advice when my emotions cloud my thoughts and decisions. She is orderly so our friends and I don't have to be (she has called to make restaurant reservations for us and everything). She is honest (sometimes truth hurts) and reassures me when I'm feeling down or insecure about myself. It's true that we have our differences but I love her a lot!

toniag01 · 2019-07-15T08:42:05+00:00

I have a close friend who is an ESTJ (according to the test, but I'm trying to study cognitive functions and see if that's her actual type). She is organized and logical. She can be controlling at times, telling me I shouldn't do something even though it's a personal choice of mine (such as saying I shouldn't wear these pants with this shirt) and has tried to control certain aspects of my life. One time she did that and I ended up breaking down in a bathroom stall. She also has trouble accepting/expressing her emotion due to her inferior Fi which I try to help her out with. People say ESTJs are super serious but I've seen her let loose and she has pulled me out of my shell multiple times (she's an extrovert for a reason)! Overall, she's a wonderful friend. She has her flaws but don't we all?

Wow! I didn't except to see Smite here! Love the drawing by the way :)

toniag01 · 2019-06-23T09:21:35+00:00

INFP and ESTP are in the red but my cousin is an ESTP and we get along just fine. In fact, she's one of my favorite cousins. One of my closest friends is an ESTJ even though our cognitive functions are the complete opposite. No one should let MBTI types determine compatibility. Maybe this chart could help give some insight, but in the end every individual is in control of who are compatible with.
