INFJs: Some of the most interesting people, but few know this IRL because we are rarely given a chance to shine.

While we do have feelings for you, we experience great difficulty expressing it.

Subtlety is a double-edged sword. We’re usually too subtle, but when we get the amount of subtlety just right, you’d better watch out.

Yes, us INFJ guys do want to kick the living crap out of that jock that hit on you as if you were in the business of negotiable affection. But do we? No, because we’re afraid of making a scene and potentially coming off weird to you if you don’t know us yet.

We look for depth. Diving into a shallow pool never ends well, does it?

A little reciprocation would be lovely. We’re already hard on ourselves and we need to be reminded that we’re good enough. Maybe a few random acts of kindness?

Maybe we should actually introduce ourselves to you.

Lots of daydreams.

If we get a picture together, you bet we’ll look at it every day when we feel sad to help cheer us up.

“Umm… This may sound strange, but I like you.” debates adding “a lot” to the end of the sentence, but waits too long trying to figure out if that’d sound TOO weird / oh god i’m gonna die someone please help

We care about you. A lot. So much, in fact, that when you’re sad all we want to do is cuddle you until you feel better.

I’ll occasionally go through a day or two when I feel like that. I can’t explain why I feel like that; I just do. It’s a fairly common thing for me at least. I don’t think it’s a personality-transition, either.

One thing I’ve noticed with us INFJs is that we idealize practically everything, and then when reality doesn’t match our preconceived notions of what it “should” be, we become disappointed and a little resentful toward the world in general and the people within it, even ourselves sometimes. It’s taken me a long time and several rather harsh wake up-calls to realize that expecting something of everything will lead to major dissatisfaction. I’ve taken to merely taking life as it comes, not expecting anything of anything, and when something nice comes along I’m thankful for it.

“Why did that person say hi? I don’t know them.”

“Wait, did I just say that out loud?”
