INFJ (The Confidant)- Introverted iNtuitive Feeling Judging

INFJs are among the rarest of the sixteen personality types, constituting only 1-3% of the general population. INFJs are “old souls.” They grow up feeling far wiser than would be predicted by their chronological age. They may take on the role of counseling and advising. The fact is that many INFJs experience the world and their bodies in radically different ways than other types. It is therefore not uncommon for INFJs or others to question their sanity. INFJs are reluctant to trust majority opinion.

They are often the last to read a bestseller, feeling that if everyone else thinks it is good, it probably is not worth their time. INFJs also tend to be purists and classicists. Many enjoy collecting antiques, historical artifacts, old first edition books, rare art, or anything that satisfies their thirst for what they perceive as pure or classic works. Perhaps more than anything, INFJs love spending time engrossed in meaningful conversation. Because of their verbosity and enjoyment of others’ company, they can easily be mistaken for Extraverts.

rasa-tala:

“To love means to open ourselves to the negative as well as the positive - to grief, sorrow, and disappointment as well as to joy, fulfillment, and an intensity of consciousness we did not know was possible before.” — Rollo May

INFJs are warm, considerate partners who feel great depth of love for their partners. They enjoy showing this love, and want to receive affirmation back from their mates.

They are perfectionists, constantly striving to achieve the Perfect Relationship. This can sometimes be frustrating to their mates, who may feel put upon by the INFJs demanding perfectionism. However, it may also be greatly appreciated, because it indicates a sincere commitment to the relationship, and a depth of caring which is not usually present in other types.

Sexually, INFJs view intimacy as a nearly spiritual experience. They embrace the opportunity to bond heart and soul with their mates. As service-oriented individuals, it’s very important to them that their mates are happy. Intimacy is an opportunity for the INFJ to selflessly give their love, and experience it in a tangible way.

OMG PREACH

Oh my GOD. GET IT, GIRL. FUCK.

PREACH.

As someone who suffered with acne throughout my teens and early twenties, this girl summed this up pretty nicely. I wear foundation and concealer everywhere. I don’t break out anymore, but I have dark acne scars that take a long time to get rid of, and years of taunting and embarrassing moments in public regarding my skin has led me to not step out of the house without something covering my scars. Men, especially go “I hate it when girls wear makeup, they should just be natural”. And yet, they want perfection. Because everyone has perfect skin. I’m cool with not wearing eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow, etc. My makeup routine is simple and takes no more than 3-5 minutes everyday, and I don’t generally wear much color and I kind of don’t like blush. The most important part is that I make my skin look as flawless as possible so that people would look at me for me and judge me for the clothes I CHOOSE  to wear rather than something that I cannot change right now. I can’t make these dark marks go away overnight. My skin is in a lot better shape than it was even a year ago, but still. It takes time, and I’m not at the point where I’m completely comfortable with it.

It seems that a bunch of people either somehow find it amusing to take pictures of themselves posing as a deceased Trayvon Martin or else they just don’t understand the difference between getting good attention and bad attention for your actions.

As my friend who blogs over at The Noob Yorker rightly points out:

When you mock and belittle the death of Trayvon, you reinforce the racism that underpins our social institutions and in the process produce more events akin those in Florida.

I understand that everyone wants to make the next hot meme and get the internet to pay attention to them for a minute. But, seriously, stop behaving this way. It is awful.

Bolded for emphasis. This is flat out racist and these types of “jokes” have real life consequences that hurt other people and reinforce racist institutions that the vast majority of those pictured will never have to deal with. Don’t do it.

Ughhhh I’ve been feeling like hell since yesterday. And the coffee I just made was way too strong, which has made me feel worse. And now I’m gonna wail like a little kid, cause it’s my blog and I can. So here goes:

Wahhhhhhhh

This is me right now. Minus the cats.

This is me right now. Minus the cats.
