I was shy and pretty much just went to school hung around one friend who was a more social lad, then close off from the world playing video games. When I first learnt to talk I wasnt very clear, my father couldn't make sense of what i'd say but my mum could. I heard myself on a home video one time and I now understand what he meant. I talked a lot and would wake up early. I was a rather emotional child, like I was easy to upset but that might've had to do with my brother being nasty.
In comparison to how I am now, im completely different emotionally. I got a better grasp on my emotions in a more socially acceptable way I suppose because I don't really have outbursts like I did as a kid hahaha

In kindergarten I was a bully lol
Outside of that though I really loved nature, went camping with my dad all the time, loved to go fishing
OBSESSED with drawing, all our walls were covered with my drawings
I was also into sports, for a skinny blond girl I could really kick some butt ;D
I played with my neighbour kids all the time, but somehow I loved to manipulate them lol
Overall, a pretty evil, artistic, down to earth kid lol

I was surprisingly outgoing and sociable! I always wanted to be in the spotlight and I would jump in front of cameras when people were taking pictures or videos. I was quite the tom-boy also. I played with trucks and made mud pies. Mostly because my brother was only a year younger than me and I would play with him. I didn't "grow into" my personality type (being introverted) until middle school. Or maybe it was suppressed by my parents and their lifestyle, I'm not sure.

Ran around with wooden swords pretending to be a viking/samurai/centurion etc. building forts that were actually palaces/fortresses/castles etc... Drawing, writing, reading.

By 11 I was skateboarding everyday

I was a kid who was always pretending to be one thing or another, for example according to my mother for about a month I pretended I was a T-Rex a the dinner table. I used to actually be quite extraverted, making new friends on the playground like that and was pretty easy to get along with. I spent a lot of time playing with lego and reading batman comics.

Under 5? Oh god, did my family have trouble keeping me in one place. I was a rebellious, energetic little child. When we were waiting for a flight to Canada in the airport, I would just run everywhere. My dad (INTJ) tried to keep me with the rest of the family, but after a while he gave up and just started following me around the airport. I kept running off. xD
I was extremely rebellious and disobedient. That's kind of remained with me... Just a bit. I wasn't imaginative. At least, I don't believe so. Actually, I never really daydreamed at all. Even in elementary school. Hmmm. I always loved reading, but I don't think I became an INFP until age 10 or so. I think I used to be an INTP or ISTP. Gah. Strange to think about. Oh my goodness. That explains everything. I had an abusive best friend during Grade 5, and she definitely changed me, but my entire personality type? :O
I'm quite assured now that I used to be an IxTP. Since type can change when you're young, right? Or it is not determined yet?
Or maybe I'm just kidding myself. But I can't be too sure... I still have some IxTP qualities, too...

This part of your sentence sounds like extroverted Intuition (INFP's second function), the questioning and wondering from various points of view.. if I understand it right. But it is kind of like an analysis of a few lines of your post, so.. : )

"Jung believed that all the functions are largely unconscious and undeveloped in infants. As we grow and develop, the different functions develop. The timing of this development has been the subject of considerable study. It is generally believed that the dominant generally develops up to age 7, the auxiliary up to age 20, the tertiary in the 30s and 40s and the inferior or fourth function at midlife or later."

INFP's dominant function: introverted Feeling (Fi),
auxiliary: extroverted Intuition (Ne),
tertiary: introverted Sensing (Si),
inferior: extroverted Thinking (Te).


Age 5 and below, I was tan because of swimming. My mother's friend(s) often said I was shy. (I don't know if it was the same friend or different friends at different times.) I didn't like smiling, I was asked to at the kindergarten graduation photo taking session but I didn't. Wait, that was age six. Ah I guess I just followed whatever I was made to do. Most likely quiet... I liked making stories with barbie dolls and soft toys. I don't know if that was age 5 and below though.

According to my mom, I was "bossy and headstrong". Apparently I'd throw temper tantrums all of the time. Also, I suppose I was quite impulsive. If my mom was talking to someone when we were out somewhere, I'd often times just randomly decide that I wanted her to stop and I'd try to physically pull her away from the other person. I also remember when I was three, and I suddenly decided that it'd be a great idea to attempt to poke my 8-year-old brother's eye with a fork for absolutely no reason at all (thankfully that endeavor was not at all successful). When I really little, it was impossible for one to contain me. I'd easily get out of strollers, playpens, etc.

In terms of how I acted around adults outside of my family, I generally didn't talk unless absolutely necessary. In addition, when asking adults questions, I'd always try to phrase questions so that "no" was not a possible response (I guess I was afraid of the word or something?). For instance, I would phrase a question like "will we do this, or will we do that?" rather than "will we do this?". But then they'd interrupt me and be like "no" and then I'd burst into tears and they wouldn't understand why at all.

I also remember being in four-year-old preschool and trying my best not to talk to any of the kids except for this one girl who I wanted to be around ALL THE TIME. I remember when we had playtime, I'd always try to play ALONE with the dollhouse. Then other kids would come over and ruin everything and I 'd be like "screw this!" (not literally, haha) and then I'd lay on the carpet while staring at the ceiling and daydream, and then I'd get yelled at for not playing with the other kids! I also remember the teacher was evil that year, haha.

There's a lot more I could say, but I suppose this is way too long enough already!

Oh God. I didn't crawl like other little kids when I was little, I crawled upside down on my head. I was practically bald on my head at the time from doing it. lawl. I always had a toy in my mouth as well, usually a figurine of a girl from a show I watched. I don't remember much else, but there is a video of me falling asleep in my food. XP

Oh my I did something like this to my sister around one of those ages...
