Hey, I'm new to posting here.

I'm an INFP and I feel the description is pretty accurate.
My enneagram type is a 4 with a 5 wing.
Gather what you will from this Smile

Welcome! Newbie to newbie, figured I'd reciprocate-- how do you pronounce your handle?

I have a hunch your one rare INFP that I'm actually going to like, based on your first couple dozen posts, that is!

I really need to break my negative image of INFP... Smile

Anyway, welcome!

Hello everybody!

INFP's are cool! I know a few of them. They are warm, caring and calm. It amazes me how strong they are in handling life's situations. I wish I was more introverted because they seem to have an inner strength from which they draw from to get through tough circumstances. They handle stress people put on them better than I can. The INFP girls I know love video games, books, music and art.

On the Big 5 I received SCUAI. My results on jung/socionics tests place me as a XNFP. I always border on the I/E. I'm pretty shy in social situations but once I get comfortable I won't shut up (some people end up wishing I would). I get along with virtually everyone except for people who decide to take whatever is wrong with them that day out on me or they have an untreated personality disorder (paranoid personality disorder.. shudders). I love to debate everything that one shouldn't.

Hey, welcome.
hmmm, I do like books and art. Wish I were more extroverted but that's usually only when theres a guy around I'd like to talk with. . . I guess that's just the way it goes though Smile

Thanks!

Yeah I know how that feels. I'm pretty shy at first then if things start going well I go to cloud 9 in seconds. I'd try internet dating but I wouldn't want to look at people's stats and say hmm! Nope.. MMm maybe.. Meet up, one of us doesn't find the other attractive.. someone gets hurt.

I'm deciding to let the girl decide on what kind of relationship they are interested. If they want something not serious then we just hang out and Embarassed

If they want a relationship then I've decided I want a deep friendship first. In my warped mind I believe that is the only way for me. I guess my goal is to use love styles to my advantage Evil or Very Mad

I prefer Eros (physical attraction) and Storge (friendship) so that would work well for me. I think it will eliminate some unnecessary misunderstandings that I've encountered in the past. I'll never make someone high on pragma (social status focused) love style happy. I'm wary of infatuation/falling in love/love addiction because sobering up can be a painful experience. The illusion disappears: "SCREAAAAAAAAMMMM" then "OUCH" then "CRIES." I had to learn the hard way not to look for someone to make me happy.

I could rant all day I bet!
