Glad To Be An Infj!

"People love to tell me their stories and I love to listen forever" I can totally relate to this, I was starting to think there was something wrong with me! "I think endlessly about so many things and in the end I start thinking about thinking"Me too, I thought I was getting crazy or that I have a low attention span or something to always so easily goes off thinking about something.

And me too to most of your other points as well, a bit crazy to think that INFJs can be so much alike.

Yes, this is the way I am too. You reminded me of the silly thing too. My response to social situations was always to be so outrageously weird that people would just laugh at me. I guess it's sort of a way of getting around the pressure of judgement by diffusing tension in my mind. I think it was truly a coping mechanism. I can sometimes almost seem like I am outgoing because my method is just to immediately act weird and crazy and to laugh myself silly in order to open up to people without feeling too vulnerable. I did the listening thing a lot too, but that's a much shorter subject to discuss I think. I was lucky enough in high school to get in with a group of people who were equal parts silly, outgoing and understanding. They happened to be the "nerds" or the "weird kids", but their personalities were always far more interesting to me than any of the more popular kids and they shared my sense of humor.

I know your feeling I have been through it before, thank you for ur story
