    Great and really inspiring quotes. Im a little between INTJ and INFJ. But Id prefer to call myself an INFJ. Just like you mentioned there are rarely people with this personality type, throughout my life I have posed problems fitting in among people. Ive always been termed shy just because I didnt think like others and didnt participate in their conversations and as a result now I find it difficult to come across as confident. Being what I am is difficult for me because I dont find it easy to go the straight way , other people go. Most of my struggles are internal where I always try to accept myself as who I am. I first came across these personality types when I was searching for my career. Ive always wanted a career which would be creatively more paying and would make me more happy , but unfortunately I was forced by situations to take up a rather practical career. I find it really difficult to gather confidence to face life beause I feel stuck sometimes. But I really appreciate your blog and it really helps me. Thanks. 🙂

    I truly appreciate your help in this. All my left I have not ever felt so deeply about my truest self. The more that I observe others and their behaviors, gives some insight into the how and why’s humanity go about living. Personally, this will help me to better understand myself.
