About A Lover
I must say that I realized why I couldn’t study for the past three days. It’s because (as an INFJ) I can’t be happy or do anything if I’m not at peace with myself.
And I guess I haven’t been.
My inner mind structure is very systematic; everything has to make sense in order for me to move on. That’s just the way I am.
Everyday, every minute I’m constantly searching for a perfect state of mind that can help me live as efficiently as possible.
If conflicts keep bothering me, I would become quiet and depressed. There is no gray middle area; I am either euphorically happy or depressed.
(That also explains my love for being a psychologist.) Because nothing makes me happier than seeing a person feeling as wonderful as they could be.
So this is me; no exception.
Once I thought my lover is the one person who loves me can make me happy by sharing something I can never have dreamt of.
That he understands me, knows my weaknesses and strengths, and makes the whole world right for me.
At least that’s what I thought when I was a teenager.
Only the last sentence survived: he can make the whole world alright for me. He does not need to have the same interests as me - but he must have the same perspective of the ideal word.
We must be looking in the same direction and working towards the same dream.
I’m sure this will change in the next ten year’s time.
But for now, that will keep me focused & my boy problems will be temporarily resolved.
(And then I remembered what a six-year-old said about love: “Love is when one of those people have freckles and so then they find someone else who has freckles, too.”)

I used to think if two people are happy together, nothing matters
if he makes me happier than ever, what more could I ask for?
but I guess that’s just some kind of false thought..

To trizzyxtragic: “If he makes me happier than ever” - be careful how long it lasts. You could treasure a cherished moment under lighted trees with him on the streets one Christmas; but for a lifetime spent with the same person, would it have the same effect?
Perhaps this would help.

sounds more like an INFP problem than an INFJ one….? Hmmm…..

To Rachel: Yea, both are quite similar to some extent. The majority or about 80% of my friends are INFPs. So maybe there’s a bit of crosscultural breeding..
