:) Hi. I'm an INFJ & I totally related with what you expressed here. People drain me but I absolutely LOVE them...for simply just for being. Life can be cruel. I dislike being an introvert because it makes life so hard sometimes. I am trying to change this about myself but I'm finding the effort draining. I must add that I love being alone in a car, just to think...but I'm directionally challenged. I am happy to see we are not alone in the weirdness of INFJ-ness. Thanks for making this.
I am an INFJ and we are very similar except for driving. I love driving, but my friends will tell you I get lost (directionally challenged) frequently. I enjoy driving though, because it helps me think and I find it therapeutic.
@bigbufobufo Ah, well I'm glad at least one of likes to drive. ;) And since I am pretty good with direction if we were to ever go on a road trip, you could drive and I could get us there. =P Hahah.
There are 3 subtypes within the INFJ type: the romantic, the reformer, and the peacemaker. Her enneagram is 9, the peacemaker. That may be why other INFJs think she's not one. It's said that even in the enneagram types, you can have subtypes. Everyone is different. It's just nice knowing there are others like you out there.
Start small and slowly work your way up. When I was learning to drive I made myself perform maneuverability 3x in a row before I felt like I could take the test. I worked on it about 3 hours one day. The practice is very important. Driving on ice is the worst. I avoid driving on ice if I can.
omg. im an infj and i hate driving too. i get very nervous and my family cant understand why i avoid driving and why i dont talk on my cell phone and stuff.
I'm definitely not an E in any way.. I am extremely introverted... and the only function that I'm on the fence with is the J/P function.. but the more I look into it I'm sure I'm a J.
yeah, I think a lot of us INFJ's have trouble figuring out if we are J's or P's because INFJ's tend to be "messier" or more "unorganized" than other J types. I tend to forget things like my cell phone or wallet. Or I do things in a weird order that doesn't seem to make sense. But the reason for it today was because I was trying to think too far ahead and plan out my day (where I was going to apply for a job), and I was trying to order all the thoughts in my head.
If you think it's hard being an INFJ, listen: I am a male (0.5%) INFJ; and I am ADHD!
I get tired of the energy it takes to monitor my rough edges, but I've learned to self-disclose about my internal process, so people aren't so intimidated by my insights. But, it gets lonely. Thank God for the NFs that I connect with deeply. My friends are about six females to every male, even though I come across as a country-boy and a bit unpolished! Anyone else ever hide their giftedness to fit in?
LOL I hate driving! (I'm an INFJ too) I've have a couple of INFJ friends who didn't drive at all. I agree with you though, I do think it makes us better drivers. :-D Thanks for posting!
I've always gotten so much negativity from not liking to drive from everyone I know. It's nice to come across other people who think the way I do. Thanks for the comment. : )
lol.. i hear ya on the video takes !!

Hey, I might be an INFJ myself; But I had always associated my world view to being a water-sign. Are most INFJ's water-signs?

@Marena73 Thanks for the explanation. It's interesting to meet and interact with the other INFJ types as well. :D

It's funny because although I prefer not to drive, I have a good sense of direction. I never get lost even at night. I'm like a homing pigeon.

Not an INFJ? Lulz, you can tell she's an infj just by looking at her eyes for the first 5seconds.

You're dumb. She's nothing like an ESFP. She looks and acts like all the other INFJ's.

Well, I wouldn't go so far as to say that they're dumb. I mean they must have some reason to think I would be an ESFP... I just dont see it..

Hi Dneecy!
This is a friend from the forums I bet you can't guess who...
I wonder if you would be able to guess solely on writing style?

We should start an INFJ drivers club... but since there aren't that many of us, I guess it would be a pretty small club. LOL.
Also, your name reminds me of the icons we have at the INFJ forum. You should check it out. You might like it there, I do. : )

The forum is a great relief for INFJs. Btw you could also visit Personalitycafe.

LOL I think an INFJ drivers club is a great idea! You're right though there'd only be like 4 members. :-D
Thanks for telling me about the INFJ forum. I checked it out last night and liked it so much I registered! :-D
Have a great today!
