Comment on "INFP = ADD = Depression?"

Thu, 23 Apr 2009 13:24:39 -0600

Hello there:) I just found this site a few days ago, and since the article was written actually a couple of years ago I`m not really sure if anyone is still checking on it. Anyways it feels great to read soo many thoughts and words that mirror my own and not feel the odd one out for thinking/writting them. I took my time to read the whole page, not wanting to leave anyone`s response out just because I`m easily bored. I found out I was an INFP a few weeks ago, read A LOT of descriptions and am still a little dumbfounded, because it all fits soo well. Explains the feeling of weirdness I had since I`ve been aware of my existence.
Oh boy, this is gonna be long...
Before I go on to anyone who might be reading this I apologise for starting every sentence with I, it`s annoying even to myself as I am not used to talking/writting about myself soo much, but I just can`t help it:D
Soo here I go again... I had quite a few emotional outbursts reading all of this, it just all feels so familiar and it`s a relief to know I`m not the only one experiencing the world the way I do. I believe I have ADD(the inatentive type), but will not take any tests or meds. Sure it sucks no one around me actually understands what it feels like,or believes me, even I always thought I was just being extremely lazy and would then get upset with myself because of it. Most of todays teens are like that, right? But I do know it`s just a part of who I am and will take it gladly cuz it seems to be a package deal. I get all the other great INFP characteristics in return:)I feel as a part of a priviledged society, the INFP world.
As for school I finnished high school last year and am now at law school. I know it`s not a typical choice for us creative spirits, but I do follow my cause and will hopefully be able to make or at least start even a small difference in the world someday. Class is interesting, not all of it, but I don`t think there exists a completelly interesting school(if you know one let me know:)). The only thing that gets me are the people here...maybe I`m just misinterpreting it, but most of them seem so fake and in it for the money. Of course I could be wrong, there are exceptions also, but I don`t really have new friends. Acquaintances yes, friends no. I mostly hang out with the exclusive few from high school as I always prefered quality over quantity. Maybe I`m just over complicating things-soo typical:) In the terms of other relationships, I am told I am attractive, but not from the right type of guys. I need someone deep, whom I can trust completely, that won`t give up on me just because I don`t open up fast enough, not someone who`s looking for some one night stand. I`ve never fallen in love before, but I did get my self-esteem crushed a few times. The last time I was seeing some guy for 3 months and the longer it lasted, less I liked him on the psychical level. We just didn`t connect. But it still hurt when I saw him at a party with another girl, right after he introduced me to his best friends, which I constructed as if he ment it seriously with me. And he supposedly is in a relationship with that girl since then.
After that i spent 2 and a half months in some kind of foggy reality. Didn`t care about anything really, I wasn`t suicidal, just kind of empty. Then I decided that everything happens for a reason and I learned from it, rather than keep asking myself what I did wrong. I know someday I`ll meet my soulmate and till then I`d rather walk alone than in bad company:) I`d get lonely at times, but I do have vivid dreams about (at least I think) my soulmate and deja-vus and that`s enough to keep my hope for now. I felt bad after my "awakening" about not going out as much as I used to. I didn`t miss the socialising, I actually realized I prefered being alone, I just felt bad for not drinking and smoking pot(never liked cigarettes) and clubbing with my friends. Not that I didn`t enjoy it once in a while(say maybe every 2 months?),except the clubbing,never liked that, and they aren`t a bad crowd at all...it just wore me out to much. Didn`t realize I like the pot thing a little to much until I lit a joint alone on my balcony with my older brother in the room next door. After that I had the most scary and sad dream ever, actually woke up crying. It just felt so real, all the feelings, my love for that boy in the dream that I saw stick a needle in his arm...I felt totally helpless and he felt hopeless. So instead I started meeting with friends over lunch-dates and drinks. I even started working out more, though I`m not very consistent. I am a vegetarian, as a result of my values, and sugar sensitive, but still love to eat.

I`m not even sure why I wrote all of this. I guess it just feels right to share a part of who I am in return for all the sincere words and stories on this page. To add my stamp, my small epiphany, encourage all of the lost INFPs who just found out that they are indeed not so alone as they thought. I do not believe in God as such, but am sure that our existence isn`t meaningless. As someone before wrote, we seem to be the ones that are ment do what we love, we just need some time to figure out what exactly that is and how to make it work.

"Our calling is where our deepest gladness and the world`s hunger meet." Fredrick Buechner

P.S. I`m a saggitarius, with the moon(I think thats what it`s called) in libra. And don`t mind all the misspellings, English isn`t my first language ( but I do tend to think/speak? in it inside my head most of the time. Who knows why.).

Cheers and hugs,

It seems like INFPs are stuck living life unsatisfied and melancholic, or am I the only one noticing that? Maybe it's just my age I hope. I'm 17, and I'm becoming more extroverted so I'm hoping that by adulthood I can become a full blown ENFP. But I have taken the myer-briggs test several times on different occasions and the results never vary. I'm an INFP, through and through. For now anyways ;)

Ahhh my fellow INFP's.
I never got checked for ADD or being Bi-Polar. But the thought of being Bi-Polar has crossed my mind many a time. I'm still only a Teen, but I feel as if I have grasped many philisophical ideals and while reading descriptions of INFP's i was laughing because of how accurate it was. The fact that if i am Passionate about a subject i will go all out. But if the subject bores me I lose interest incredibly fast. I thought I was just lazy but I guess it is our brain function. My first phase of being an INFP revolved around bettering myself to be the best I can or in the world, but recently I focus on both that and bettering the world.
I go in and out of moods of being incredibly positive to being upset about what the point is of my life... but I have decided to not check if I am bi-polar because I see it as a weakness and make myself prove my strength by working through it every time it comes up.
I am no doubt a dreamer and make up wonderful Ideals in my head. If one was to see what I create in my head, one would enjoy the perfection of each thought, I hope, and enjoy themselves as I wish most people would.
I love focusing on others and want everyone to be happy with themselves.
Its very important to me.
I try to understand most everything.
The only thing that helps me through those hard times those is my faith in God. And to those of you who have a hard time with the downs of being an INFP should look into being religous.
I wake up and think of what God has in store for me. For some reason I feel like I have some destiny to be fulfilled. Whether that is rude or not, I cannot help but feel different from most everyone I know or meet.
Maybe that is a characteristic of being an INFP.

Over all I enjoy my differences. Even though it causes me to feel out of place most of the time. I hope everyone learns to appreciate their differences.

I love being an INFP! We'll all better the world... I promise! :]

It's just not only I'm not good at sport. But I'm awful at it to the point of embarassing myself all the time :(
Actually it's not just sport, everything that evolve
using my hands or body; knitting, handcraft work, cutting paper, riding bike... umm all of it. Things that comes easy with other people, seem impossible to me. But at the same times, things that hard for most people come easy for me; math and language are piece of cake, psychology, philosophy... seem like I can get at these stuff easily on intuitive level. I guess I live inside my head too much. :O

I wish this page keeps going and never died. I can
relate to all of you and it is such a big comfort to me to know that I'm not alone in my being. So thanks a lot u guys,.. you don't know how meaningful it is to me...(in a way, I think you know :) )

ps. sorry for my poor english.
btw... I don't know what I'll do with my life!!!

Hi,

Thanks for the information. I would like to know more about it.

Not to sure what you are trying to say..I mean is it or is it not.

Anyhow I know I am rambling but try to see it from someone reading it the first time without thinking about it first.

Comment on "Two RGS Songs"

Sat, 21 Mar 2009 01:06:27 -0600

Hehe, I just happened to google the lyrics for Dedication and it brought me to this blog (: I'm a graduated-year-2008-Bucklean (since everyone else is sharing this info).

I haven't got much to say actually, except that I've not heard of the Motto song before O:

And well, Dedication has always been my favourite song at RGS, not only because we sing it during all our school functions, but also because it was that one song that seemed to sum up all the hopes we had as ickle Sec Ones during Orientation'05 for the 4 years we would be spending at RGS.

Right, that's all I've to say haha xD Um, thanks for sharing the lyrics!

I think I'll get a new camera soon. From 2002 to 2005, I bought a new digital camera every year. None since then. Currently lusting after the Panasonic DMC-LX3.

Also, I would venture a guess that no one here is good at sports- I'm sure not. It's not terribly important to know but as I am looking over the posts it just hit me as a curiosity-what do you say?

Best,

Good afternoon. For me, it's that I contributed, ... That I'm on this planet doing some good and making people happy. That's to me the most important thing, that my hour of television is positive and upbeat and an antidote for all the negative stuff going on in life.
I am from Thailand and too bad know English, please tell me right I wrote the following sentence: "If you use our services you can save up to on any airline ticket worldwide."

:-D Thanks in advance. Gavin.

Hi all.

I have to apologize, and I am sure you will all understand...

A while ago I started the Yahoo group for us and never actually took care of it. Now its basically a pool of spam. Also, my account was inactive for so long I think it was lost and now I can't get in as the moderator to fix anything.

Hmm, being excited about something and then not following through , can anyone imagine that?

If anyone, who thinks they will be on top of it would like to start a new one, that would be great.

As for me, whenever things are overwhelming I love to come here and feel that I am not alone.
I have come to fantasize all of us getting together, sharing stories, sympathy, and collective sighs...then some laughing too.

God bless
