    That was the main problem, I had no clue what I'd done...they just suddenly stopped talking to me. I tried to say I was sorry (for what I have no clue) but they wouldn't hear it. They kind of spread around some mean rumors about me after that and such, and then I was heartbroken.
    And then I got mad.
    By the time they cooled down and wanted to be friends again, I said no. And so we were always kind of in this cycle of wanting forgiveness and not yet wanting to forgive. I think we were probably both at fault in the end, tbh. Or maybe it was just me.

    Anyway, that's my sad little story of the day! I've got plenty more where that came from! :D

    This kind of reminds of the song Something's Always Wrong by Toad the Wet Sprocket. I think any INFP would appreciate it. You should youtube it if you never heard the song before. I don't have enough credits yet to post videos on my posts :P

    Within about thirty seconds of listening to this song for the first time I realized that I was going to love it. Yay!! Here it is for anyone else who would like a listen! It's certainly worth it :)


    Thanks quest! :D

    Yes i understand you. I recently got to an idea to express it but i was rather disappointed with my results lol
    It simply seemed in the end that it belongs where it belongs. On the outside it really doesn't sound that good.

    I don't know about you but my imagination is pretty much bad fantasy it's pure function, can't incorporate it in outside world easily. But i dream a lot and it's important to me, it's my philosophy and it's how i realize things and make conclusions. Through my imagination i usually get some lessons to myself. I know its weird but imaginary scenarios kinda help me to see possible situations between people and i feel it almost like its really and it totally effects me. I'm very passionate about it.
    But some days i think it would be nice to make a structure out of it, some higher point, to express it through writing. And i did write for 2 years but then i just got back "inside".
    In the same tiem i feel rather weird expressing cuz it never feels quite like it.

    It's a very emotionally charged song. When I first heard it, I had to listen to it over and over again. I suppose it appealed to my NF (I'm still not entirely sure what that means haha). But it's not just the lyrics of the song but I think the different layers of the melody/bass/beat really captures the emotion of the song very well I think. The song Shimmer by Fuel affected me this way too.

    I'm always thinking of imaginary scenarios which could take place in the future, an event in the past had I done something different, or even in the present if I were hypothetically somewhere else at the time.

    My ways as well. Wow it's nice to meet someone who does the same. I only once told that to my ISFP friend and she couldn't believe what's going on in my head. Or it was just unusual to her.
    I take a lot of fun out of these thoughts in my head. I sometimes think it's what i live for. Now would be the good thing if i could just write a screen play and get payed for daydreaming haha

    ITS BECAUSE SOCIETY ONLY LIKES CERTAIN KINDS OF COMMUNICATION SO IF OUR INNER PERSONALITY IS UNIQUE WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF TRANSLATING INTO A LANGUAGE PEOPLE CAN UNDERSTAND AND NOT JUDGE WHICH TAKES MUCHO TIME YO

    ALSO, .... 1 minute later, i can't remember what the also was

    Have you ever tried to write a screen play? I thought of using my daydreaming for constructive use as well. I started attempted writing a novel a few years ago, the didn't do anything with it for like a year or two. The last year, a friend of mine got a book published, so that inspired me to add to my story. And I made quite a bit of progress at that time but then I came to a point where I couldn't figure where to take the story further. I think the longer a story is, it gets harder for an INFP to continue because we like our imaginations/daydreaming to run free and the longer a story is, you have constraints because you have to stay consistent with the story thus far. You become limited to the ideas you can bounce around because you've created structure, and we don't work well with structure haha. I'm thinking of starting a new thread with this subject and see what other people have to say about being an INFP and a writer.

    I agree, that makes a lot of sense.
