lol I agree. I don't think what we like or do is defined y our personality types, however i do this its a good way 2 talk to ppl u can relate too. Just because you write on here doesn't mean you don't like to do anything else either. Sometimes maybe talking to ppl who are like u can help u understand yourself better, while talking to ppl who r not can help u understand others better.
You are writing this with the assumption that being an INFP is a bad thing. I don't think it is. All personality types are bad in some way and I don't think one is more bad than other.
I agree: " Go outside and be you!! Figure out your life, do what you want, live, breathe, thrive!! "
But then, come back and tell some like minded ppl about your experiences. You can learn forom other people. We can not escape life and we do not want to, but life alot easer when you can talk to ppl who understand you. Which is why I'm so glad that next year my friends and i have rented a house off campus so i will be living with and INFJ, ENFJ. (and everyone else is at least F's).
Also, for a lot of INFP, we write because we enjoy it. I enjoy it more than I would enjoy watching sports or something like that. Why would I do something I don't like when i could do something I do like?
Just my opinion.

I really really want to post something, because I feel bad that this blog is being neglected after such a buzzing buzz buzz start. But at the same time, I want nothing to do with this blog. It doesn't seem healthy for me to define myself by 4 letters anymore, and so I don't even know if this blog is a good idea, maybe it should be neglected.
You see, I realized that I am NOT an INFP. We are NOT INFPs. We are [insert your name here], [insert your quirks here], [insert your favorite music here], [insert your life experiences here], [insert your family and friends here], [insert your passions here], [insert your pet peeves here], [insert your favorite color here], [insert the words the slip into your vocabulary for reasons that you couldn't even begin to understand here], [insert your fashion sense here], [insert the culture you were raised in here], [insert the moment that made you smile the most here], [insert the things that make you cry], and so on and so on! Do you see how many times I had to click this "[" button? Do you realize what a pain in the ass that is to do, how much effort that takes? I do it because this is important, I think, I do it because I care. You are not an INFP. You are a unique individual, and to reduce your identity to four letters is to do yourself a grave disservice.
I'm sure many of you will disagree with me, but I just want to say that you are more than this. You are more than this blog, you are more than the facebook group, more than the online INFP profiles. You are YOU. Go outside and be you!! Figure out your life, do what you want, live, breathe, thrive!! Don't respond to this post, go do something that you love to do, meet some new people that will change your perspective on everything in an instant, meet lots and lots of people and LOVE what life can be! Arms outstretched, stretch yourself beyond the person you think you are and discover your own personal goals and chase chase after them!
And with that said, I bid you all adieu. I won't be checking this blog again, so feel free to comment on this as you will, continue posting and foruming as you will. But just remember that as you do that, you could be be out of all of this, living and thriving and sucking on the nectar of life. Good luck!

I decided to post something
Okay, so to get this blog rolling if anyone checks it... do you think you were born an infp, and if not, how did you become one? or, do you think it matters.

I am Legion for we are Many
OK. My name is really Keenyn. Do a Kenan and Kel joke, and I will look for you; I will find you; And I will...you get the idea. I have developed a dark sense, which finds its way out through shock value. But, we can play with words later. This is supposed to be an introduction, right?
Well, I grew with the I, the N, and the F, but the P is probably a recent addition. High school was rather simple for me. I was highly intelligent with only one major extracurricular activity: marching band. I was introduced to Myers-Brigg by my psychology teacher in my senior year, who gave all his classes the test when we got to personality tests. I got INFJ then. I went away to college and had a very bumpy start that started to turn around until my world shattered. One of my best friends died suddenly in a motorcycle accident. We had started to grow distant as that often happens as you transition out of high school into college, but it still hurt in a similar way to two other deaths in my life. But this one hurt on whole new levels. I ended up dropping out and turned inward for over a year. During that year, I read a lot on various topics, and rearrange my perspective on life and myself. That's probably where the P started. It's been two years since then and I didn't rise from flames like a phoenix. It feels more like I arose from the depths of the ocean.
