Hi everybody-I'm new here, a 17 year old high school senior in Virginia, and obviously, an INFP.

When I first found out that who I was actually matched a specific personality type, I was amazed: *gasp* there are so many of me out there, that I HAVE a personality type. When I found this community, I literally felt like my heart was exploding, for

Welcome! It's just so interesting how we're so rare, but yet you go on livejournal and there are like a million of us...rather frightening, but really cool. Yeah, just reading your post I was like "ditto" the entire time. I'm an animal lover to, and would be so satisfied working with either animals or people, even though I definitely get drained from people. But I volunteer to socialize with cats at a humane society place and it just makes me so happy and fulfilled!!!! A similar thing happened with my group of friends and I. It's seems like there's always some sort of fight going on between two or more friends over something involving other people, which I have nothing to do with but somehow get caught in the middle of it all. And I have days of extreme introversion, and people think I'm being all angry and stuff, but I'm not. But sometimes I'll be really crazy and hyper around people that I know, and I often confuse people because I seem to have two completely different sides (well that's also part of being a Gemini

I find it a confusing paradox that we have this inate need to be with people, and yet, are drained by the connections.

Exactly. Beautiful.

I had already copied that sentence and was going to paste it into my response because it hits it right on, but I see that you beat me to it ~ :)

So very true.

I have found that as I have grown older I have less friends but the friends I do have are awesome. Less is more.

The funny thing is, with people I know well, usually, I'm a very extroverted crazy person. I'm very shy around strangers and sometimes I need time by myself, but the people I know think I'm loud. And then they get confused when I get terse and quiet (hence the thinking I'm angry thing).

Exactly! What's really strange is when I'm with two or three people I know well and one person I'm only mildly aquainted with, because I still tend to be a little nutso. That's when I get comments from them like, "You should talk more, becasue when you do, you're funny

I am exactly like this. When I'm w/ a very small, core group of friends, I am the most obnoxious, outgoing one. They think I'm a crazy person. But as soon as you get me around a few strangers, my whole demeanor changes. I become aloof, quiet, contemplative, and I always look like I'm having a bad time or angry. I'm so sick of being told that I look mad. I"M NOT MAD PEOPLE!!!

I wanted to be a vet until about 11th grade too (too squeamish for it), then switched to zoology and finally music education. Sure, why not
