I'll post about my family soon.



I'd like to know who are you closest to in your family, why you are close to them, who usually connects with each other in your family, etc.

I'm very interested in what your responses will be.

My mom worked afternoons when I was growing up, and my Dad worked days... so I spent a lot of time with him. We were very close because we're both silly/abstract. After I moved away from home, I got closer to my Mom, because I had an appreciation for her feeling/ sense of responsibility. I still have good convos with my Dad... but I'm afraid I'll never grow up/be too spoiled if I act too much like him.

Still, I struggle to be around either of my parents, because they're both so neurotic and jaded. I have been exploring the idea that maybe I am an Extrovert with social anxiety. Risk-taking and socializing were generally discouraged by my parents. (I've been enjoying finding out what their parents were like since I never knew them... it sounds like my Mom's mom gave her a hard time about being introverted)

Twin sister: INFJ

Dad and mum got along on a certain level, but my dad's silliness/lack of organisation used to drive her mad. He got frustrated by her always wanting things planned and not relaxing. My older sister got on well with my dad, as did my twin sister. Both enjoyed his company and liked having discussions. I related strongly to him and felt he was the other odd one out in the family (like we were the two who stood apart, but I want to blend in and he didn't).

Mum and my older sister get on fairly well, but both are stubborn and have their own ways of doing things (like to be in control) but they show they care in a similar way so they don't have too many misunderstandings, just disagreements. My twin gets on well with my mum and finds her easy to live with. I get on fairly well with my mum, but find her too controlling/pushy at times and she finds me very confusing and also controlling. We both like to do things our own ways, but I find she pushes too much of her frustrations from work etc onto my behavior and she finds I can be moody.

My older sister and twin get on well, but aren't really close. My older sister seems to find my twin difficult to talk to at times but they both get on well. I get on well with my older sister and she seems to find it easier to talk to me, but she gets upset when I refuse to accept what she says when she thinks she's right.

My twin and I get on well, but find each other confusing at times and miscommunicate things. We also both try to stay in control of ourselves/environments which leads to clashes as we spend alot of time together. We're very similar, but she's more socially anxious (social phobia esc) and I'm more internally anxious (low self esteem etc).

My dad and I always got along swimmingly. My mom and I... not so much. She's extremely preferential towards Sensing and Perceiving and it gets to me.

There are no Ns in my immediate family so I've always felt some degree of alienation since I'm an INFX type. I think maybe my grandfather may have been an NT type but he died when I was pretty young and my memories are vague.

My dad and I don't get along, as he's angry most of the time and gets wound up easily, and as a kid I was always very scared of this and never understood it. He gets along well with my younger sister though. I get along more with my mom, and so does my older sister. And all of us sisters get along. Sometimes I clash with my younger sister because she can be rather selfish and selfishness is something that really bothers me, or I clash with my older sister because she can be very conservative, but we all have a lot of fun together regardless and I would have had a very lonely childhood without them.

As far as further relationships go, my mom is great friends with her cousin who has told me he is INTJ. If she is on the phone and she is laughing hysterically, I can be pretty sure she's talking to him. My older sister's husband has taken the test and go ESTJ, I think. I had him pegged for NTP or something, but I guess SJ makes sense. I don't really understand their relationship but they seem happy, they can always goof around with each other even though my sister is probably more serious than him and will put a stop to it earlier. My mom's mom is also an ESFJ and sometimes they are... they get along so well and are most of the time 100% on the same wavelength but their bickering can be awful.

We're all Ps. We never pay the bills on time. We're all so random and it's pretty great. Mom and sis fight almost every day because of their Fs, but they love each other crazy. Me, as an Idontgiveafrak type, don't fight with anyone. I just laugh with the silliness.
Me and my sister get along really well, we're very much alike, both introverts and intuitive. We talk about crazy stuff of philosophical nature, we like the same music, we're lazy, we don't socialize, we go and look at mountains and stuff.

Well my parents are now divorced, so yeah.

My mom and sister get on mostly well and have a lot in common (despite being opposite types) since they're both stuck in their own little worlds and things have to be their way. The main difference is that my mom likes to impose her beliefs on other people and my sister usually is the one trying to prevent other people from imposing their views on her.

My dad and sister have a rockier relationship. He always criticizes her, and she always gets defensive and even breaks down whenever he keeps telling her that she should do certain things a better way.

My sister and I get along fairly well, but she can be too idealistic and emotional for me and I have a hard time understanding her. When she starts lashing out with the whole "No one understands" mantra I get irritated because she makes it so hard for me to get through to her.

My relationship with my mom is okay, but she tries too hard to make me more extraverted and see things the way she does. She doesn't understand that the more she tries to change me, the more I resist.

My dad and I have a decent relationship. We're both very critical of things and we always give each other a fresh perspective.

That's my family for ya. :P

Look at all dat emotion (kidding). Although my mother and father are now divorced, they got along very well.

My mother has a well developed T but her F is noticeably dominant. I have a better relationship with her than my sister and father. Since her T is well developed, it compliments her F well and we can have great conversations. She tries to get me to socialize with others but I just sit back, and observe everyone else. Fun. Pretty decent and solid relationship if I say so myself. When she's upset, she won't acknowledge any other perspective but her own. From that point on, it gets pretty difficult @_@ Sister can't handle mom, mom can tolerate her to a certain degree.

My sister and I do NOT get a long most of the time but we have our moments. Other than those moments, we're either on each others bad side or neutral. Her T barely shows up and her P isn't well developed either. We mainly don't get along because she's too emotional/sensitive to understand my humor without getting offended and she gets personal in every damned thing. Drives me insane! My father and sister have the better relationship together.

My father and I don't get along very well either but I appreciate his calm attitude. We both come to a neutral agreement but other than that, we don't talk at all unless necessary. Sister gets along well with him and my mom does as well. Mom and sister can tolerate, but I have difficulties.

My mom and dad tend to have a lot of disagreements. But I think the majority of them is because my dad is unhealthy.

My two sisters were always daddy's girls. They all got along and identified with each other well. They spent a lot of time together.

I have always stuck close to my mom. She has never really understood me, but we have tolerated each other. I was close to one sister though. Then she passed away.

I have always felt like an outsider to my family. I've been alone in my room and I have these deep complex thoughts and no one ever relates.

It's a very non-confrontational family because my dad talks enough for the four of us and is always excited about something or another. My mom does the housework and is really quiet, but always gets her way in the end. She directs my dad's attention towards things she wants.

My mom said I was a nightmare when my sister was born and pawned me off to my dad because she got very sick after the birth of my little sister and couldn't handle me. She told me if she took her eyes off me for one second I would take off running as fast as I can and would never once look back! She also told me she liked feeling needed by my sister and I when we were growing up but now that we're out of the house she doesn't really know what makes her happy. She was really depressed last year and my dad can't deal with that sort of stuff so I was like caught in the middle.

My sister and I live together very peacefully (for the most part) in an apartment 2 hours away from my parent's house. My little sister is super responsible and is always talking to her friends on Skype or has them over/goes out with them all the time. She gets sort of mad at me for being a lazy slob around the house, but it's alright because I'm working on getting better at my time-management skills.

Basically my sister can't talk to my dad without resorting to frustrated yelling/crying because he asks her the same questions over and over expecting her to change her answer or at least consider his point of view, so she just hands the phone to me and stomps off all in a huff.
The only time my mom and I get along are when we consciously are trying to understand the other's inner feelings.
I'm like my daddy's little girl. He appreciates my creativity and appreciation of doing things right, and I've always wanted to be able to think so clearly of the possibilities of what could be.
