Just wondering how INFP's behaved when they were under 5?



Because I was, put rather plainly by my ISTP father, "a conniving little shit."
I locked my family outside then pretended I couldn't hear them over the TV (which I was pretending to be watching).
Too often I unscrewed the lids on the salt shakers at restaurants, so that the moment someone would use it the entire contents spilled at.
I would make a mess on the carpet with my toys, then very slowly tidy it up so that I took too long and my older siblings had to help me. Even then, I still took my time putting in a toy one at a time.
When my siblings pissed me off I would throw toys at them. Apparently I had a good arm.
I was often overly wrapped up in fantasy land, and it's going to bring on some embarrassing stories at my 21st (which I'm not having, btw).
The least embarrassing is when I used to go down the hall and hide behind a corner, make this screaming noise, then come back as some kind of animal. An animal I was deadly convinced I actually WAS. "_____!" "I'm not _____, I'm Tigress!"

I was as invisible as I could make myself. Spent most of my time far away, in my imagination. Did a lot of solo hiking, riding my bicycle, reading comic books & drawing things.

Under 5? I didn't talk for a very long time so to be honest I had no real personality under the age of 5. xD

But I loved everything fantasy and imaginary. I was also told I was very over-emotional and needed to 'act like a boy' a lot. I used to be much more outgoing and dramatic than I am now, though. I'd literally run up to strangers and tell them all about my fantastic new idea for an imaginary animal species.

Played by myself in fantasy land a lot. Used to imagine myself as fictional characters. Liked to play with legos.

[bws]

I was in my own little fantasy land a lot, however, I do recall my parents describing my early childhood using the terms "spirited" and "unholy terror".

I also remember the laughter from my late father when he saw an old Bill Cosby comedy bit, where Mr. Cosby was describing memories of his childhood, primarily how he thought his name was "God Damn it" until he was about 6 and "Jesus Christ" from then on..

God Damn it, what are you doing with that can of paint?!?
God Damn it, why did you paint your sisters gunniea pig red?
God damn it, why is there a 6' crack in my new cement garage floor?
Jesus Christ, who's going to pay for that?
uh.. who you talking to, dad?
You! God damn it!

I was a weird little child. By the age of 1, before I could completely talk, I learned how to go to the VCR. So, according to my father, I used to go to the VCR and bang on it to get someone to come over to put in a movie. Then, one of my favorite (I guess back then) movies had pigs in it, so I apparently learned how to make pig noises and would do those while banging on the VCR. I figured out how to make pig noises before I could talk. If that's not weird, I don't know what is.
Then as I got older, around 3-5, I was really shy around adults. However, around kids I was the head of everything. I knew everyone and talked to everyone in my preschool and kindergarten class. I won Student of the Month almost every month. Also, I was MEAN to my cousin, who is older by three years, for I would curse her out and do things then say that I didn't do them. However, all adults thought I was an innocent angel, so even when I did things they believed me when I said I didn't... I was evil around kids my age, but I was an absolute angel to adults (I'd always help clean, help with everything else, etc.).
Overall, I was a very odd child.

first word(s): whassat?

curious from the start. lol

according to people I've known a long time (I have almost zero episodic memory)

I was very nice, polite, and precocious, by 5 I was in classes for kids 3 years older than me, and doing better than them. I wonder where that kid went -_-

Other kids who met me didn't know what to make of me. I would be in my own world so much, that my pre-school teachers thought i was strange. I was also territorial about where i would sit. "THATS MYYY SPOT! >;c "

With my family, i was either very quiet, or a very hyper. I once slammed the door in my aunts face, and i would pretend i was asleep if i didn't want to talk.

From my perspective, a lot of the time i would be observing everything and everybody. I always asked my mom a lot of questions just because i wanted some random thing that popped into my head explained. If i tried to ask other kids my age these things though, they would give me some answer that didn't make sense, but i didn't know how to tell them why it wasn't correct. So i would just stare at them for a second with a #_# face for a few seconds and say "ok.." awkwardly. (I still do this sometimes)

Me:Why is the sky blue?
Them: Because water is blue and there is water in the sky so it makes it blue
Me: #_# ..Ok.. *looks around and walks away*

Very feisty, blunt, embarrassing, hyperactive..

[ForsakenMe]

Well according to my mother, she said that as a baby, I was a very reserved, quiet and intense child. By this, she meant that I would literally stand there and stare at people all the way down to their souls until they started to feel a bit creeped out. I liked to observe others and I was always doing my own thing. I also liked to jump on beds. :P
