Own up!

[Kuriositina]

I worry and doubt a lot. Sometimes I wonder how sincere my anxiety is or if it's something I'm just using to try and control other people into doing what I want them to do or control God into working on my time line.
I feel like this is my biggest fault.
I have difficulties with trust when it comes to God, other people and myself. I want to get better but I inevitably go back to my suspicion and anxiety.

I think many of us suffer with this; some just deny it more than others. And welcome to CF!

my two favorite things besides God: cats and music. I'm an INFJ too by the way!

 

[LaSorcia]

^Cool! Another rare INFJ bird! I've only met one other in my life and heard of one other besides that! Except for an INFJ mailing list I used to belong to, which, ironically, was mostly populated by ENFPs lol.

Yeah everything INFJ fits me to a T. I would have rather been an INFP but the overthinking INFJ just fits. My boyfriend is ENTP. One off...but yeah he's like the shameless to my anxiety ridden neurotic self lol

And I'm guessing you're not American if you have cultural snobbery lol?

Hardy har har.

I pray to God you get a break!

Yes, thank you. We had to go different ways.

I argue with people on the internet

That's much better than posters who imagine what other posters
think, them flame them for that. At least you are considering others.

I am obsessed with turning the central heating down, even though we can well afford it.

There is a learning thermostat that sees your patterns and turns it down for you.

I'm too sexy for my shirt...

Are you an ESFP? Hehehe.

My employers have made me take that test over the years. And over the years my responses have drifted, from the INTJ of 1985 to the INFJ of circa 2008, to the INFP of today.

I have been told by an expert on the matter - somebody who makes his living from analysis of that test - that our "type" does not change.

I don't have the heart to tell him he's wrong.

I meant Jacknife; I should have quoted, sorry.

That expert was not exactly correct. The MBTI and Keirsey are measures of preferences not personality types, although they are very closely related. Of course people's preferences can change over the years. I used to fluctuate between INTJ and INFJ, too. I pretty much always scored 50/50 on T and F. (Although now I know the tests so well I could get whatever type I wanted). Also, our preferences can change in different roles, such as at work or home.

I can relate. I used to be the same way, but I'm not any more. What's your favourite wine and food, just out of curiosity? And I'm guessing you're not American if you have cultural snobbery lol?

I grow more of a snob with each passing decade. Because life is getting shorter, I can't waste too much of it on mild cheeses

Seriously though, my favourite wine is a New Zealand Pinot Noir (a very darned expensive one!), and favourite cheeses are 4+ year old cheddars and French triple Brie.

And no, not American
