(Warning this is a bit dark I realized and also this is from my own experience about being an INFJ now enjoy)
People say it’s okay to be different. It is, it’s what makes us all unique. It’s the fact when you meet people and they look at your personality up and down, judging if your uniqueness is worth their time is what’s scares me. I know I am different, I feel different every time I talk to a person, feeling them judging me. I can sense the awkward tension in the air and the look in their eyes, it makes me nervous. I then began to question myself.
I decided to modify myself in order to get to know a person better. If they like people who are more hyper, I get a bit hyper. If they like a person a bit more calm, I calm down. If I know they like music, I bring that topic up more often. The one thing I don’t do is change who I am for a person. If I love art, I’m not going to stop. If I love singing in the car to every song when no one can hear me, I will continue to do so. If I have a secret obsession with Chis Evans, imma continue my secret tumblr page whether they like it or not. I don’t stop being me, I just modify myself a bit to understand and relate to a person, have common ground before trapping them into a contact of friendship.
Hope you all liked it and can relate to this somewhat.
So I have this right now and thought why not write about it. I think a lot of writers get problems writing but, considering in INFJ, I think it would be really hard on us and here are my reasons.
1)Judging/Perfectionists. I think that since we are perfectionist, it’s harder for us to write a book because, for me, I tend to reread my books so many times, trying to edit it, to a point where I think it’s terribly written and I just throw it out the window along with my hopes and dreams.
2)Plotting. So as an INFJ, we like to think of the future. So, with me, if I can’t plot a book (which is 99.9% of the time since I suck at plotting) I will throw the book away, not inspired to write anymore of it.
3)Distractions. For me, this might be another big one. I am always thinking so my own thoughts are a distraction along with something called Netflix. What I find myself doing to help with this is sitting down in a comfortable place, with my laptop as my writing tool, headphone, and turn off all electronics, and focus on writing. When I listen to music, there is always to me a certain artist I will listen to that helps me write instead of distracting me.
4)Impatience. I guess whenever I write I tend to want to rush through the book to finish the book and end up making the book sound terrible during the first draft which links back to Judging.
Thats my top four so far. I hope you all could relate to this. Again this my opinion based on experience. Hope this helps in anyway!
I don’t know how to communicate. Sure, some people think it’s easy and all you have to do is go up to someone and introduce yourself but, it’s not that easy.
You see, going up means walking up to them. As I’m walking to them I prepare a scrip I am rehearse in my head, my legs are getting weaker, my brain starts to freak out. By the time I get to the person, I forgotten my own name as I’m sweating a storm and hope my breath doesn’t smell bad as I try to speak. In the end, if that person is kind, they would tell me it’s okay and immediately would become a friend but, if not, I try to forget the existence as if it never happened… that’s why I don’t walk up to people.
No, instead, I stay away from introducing myself. Rather, I feel more comfortable if someone came up to me and introduced themselves. It makes me feel like it’s not a bother that I’m in their life, rather, they chosen me to be in it.
I guess what I want to say is, if you are reading this, and you have no problem introducing yourselves to other people, and you see someone alone, talk to them. Become their friend. Maybe it may start an amazing friendship, and make the other person a bit more comfortable with their environment.
“Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.”
“Being an INFJ doesn’t mean we’re only just a homebody. INFJ’s do TRAVEL! Yes, and when we travel, we ’re not just a tourist. We are more deeper than that. Because we feel the Journey, the Nature, the Culture and what’s more to that places we’re Traveling to.”
Loki is introverted to begin with, preferring to have time to himself to recharge, and mull things over. This function is where Loki’s trickster side comes out. He is very tuned into how things are going to play out, what kinds of reactions to expect from people, and seeing multiple possibilities. Using insight and experience, Loki can manipulate other’s behavior to suit his own ends. He quietly pieces things together, and uses this insight to pull on the right strings at the right time.
Auxiliary Function: Extroverted Feeling
Loki constantly reiterates about how he feels about certain events, people, and situations. There is never a question if he is upset or gleeful (unless he is intentionally tricking someone). He reasons with his emotions, weighing options based on intangible ideals and feelings. Logically, Thor is a fine ruler, but Loki judges on emotions, and he feels slighted. Additionally, Loki is a great reader of emotions, and can use that to manipulate people. He is tuned to what others think of him, and honestly wants respect and adoration- particularly from his father. Loki tends to delegate things like the construction of the tesseract, and even looks to Hawkeye for plans. He is more adept at flattery, manipulation, and charm, then highly logical problem solving.
Tertiary Function: Introverted Thinking
Loki has the motive and the ability to create complex plans of manipulation, but it is his introverted thinking that gives him the ability to organize and execute his plans. He keeps his strategies to himself, making him a dangerous enemy. He speaks precisely, finding the perfect and eloquent way to say what he means. He is witty, but in a thoughtful way, and rarely says something that he regrets.
Inferior Function: Extroverted Sensing
This is Loki’s least developed function. He cares about appearances, and is reasonably resourceful. You can see that skill in his battle with frost giants - he used resourcefulness on the spot instead of long-term training. However, Loki often puts aside the concerns for physicality in pursuit of his ambitions.
Hogwarts House: Slytherin
Slytherins are ambitious and crafty, two words that indisputably describe Loki. Loki feels like he deserves to rule Asgard, and Earth, and he makes strategic alliances to get there. He is out for personal power, at the expense of his duty as Odin’s son.

Silver leaves glinting in the deserted 1:00 a.m. moonlight

Jogging on the black pavement under the grungy yellow street lamps
.
Frantic dragging of nails against skin to numb the lack of anything
.
The escape to a road that travels only to the past that is yet to come
.
Headphones that can’t be felt, as they are one with the night air and cold comfort of tears
.
A terror born with the grainy pink sun rising over the cooled rooftops
.
A voice multiplying with each echo of memory in my head
.
A memory of the future come to haunt the heart
.
Blinking away liquid failure and biting away from the cheeks, leaving only a frame of stripped bone, truth, and remembrance
.
A symphony of nights
.
The aesthetic of a bleeding life spent with oneself and the voices of hopes fading with the calm nothingness of unbroken silence

A cool reassurance sliding over agitation and eyelids flickering in time to a glow on an orange windowsill

Smoke lingering on wool, breezing past the senses as innocent adrenaline swirls up with embers and stars. Like the flames and shadows, we will never grow old.
INFJ: see like, I am always going to pick the individual over the whole. If INTP murdered a bunch of people I wouldn’t turn them in. Besides, if you were driven to murder they probably deserved it.
To my followers, I am very sorry that I haven’t been posting as frequently as I should be. Frankly, I’ve been running out of material as of late, and I just don’t have any ideas.
INTJ apologizing after an argument:I’m sorry that me being right offended you.
INTJ apologizing for being late: I am so sorry, it’s completely my fault. I didn’t account for traffic and then I woke up late because I was an idiot and- *continues for five minutes*
Normal person finding out they have a crush on someone and telling their friends: Dude they’re so cute!! Ugh, I hope they like me back.
INTJ finding out they have a crush and telling their friends: I have a problem. I really hope I don’t have to see them very regularly because this would seriously complicate things.
The INTJ: Sherlock level deducting skills. Knows five of your deepest held secrets within ten minutes of conversation (though most of that information gets deleted unless they find it particularly useful). Has a plan to take over the world, and follow up plans for if that plan doesn’t work.
Also the INTJ: Spends thirty minutes looking for phone. The phone that is in their back pocket.
INTJ: You know, maybe if I open up to someone, it won’t be so bad. Getting someone else’s insight on my emotions might be helpful, and possibly healthy. I’m going to go vent about the current inner turmoil I’m experiencing.
*Later, when INTJ has finished writing an essay on what’s going on in their head*
INTJ: And so that’s why I think I’m feeling this way.
