this too
This is what the MBTI said about me. Oi. It's kind of strange how accurate they are. Most of those characteristics they described are so me. Aggravatingly so.

• Like being really sensitive to criticism. I used to have Sooo much trouble with that one. I think I've worked to the point where that's not so bad. I'm more secure in myself. Believe me, it takes a lot of work though.
• Dislike of conflict. ... ouch. Yep. I really hate fighting with friends. I really Really try to avoid conflict. I have been known to let myself be walked all over, for the sake of keeping the peace. I also hate yelling.
• Strong need to receive praise and positive affirmation... I guess that kind of plays off my sometimes lack of self worth. But that's something that's also getting better. I'm not letting myself doubt myself. It's hard.
• May react very emotionally to stressful situations ...I'm not sure how to fix this one. Maybe I just need to relax and let myself know I Am fairly capable. I can't fix Everything, but I've gotten out of some pretty crappy things all by my self.
• Have difficulty leaving a bad relationship ... I'm going to leave that one alone for now.
• Tendency to blame themselves for problems, and hold everything on their own shoulders .. sorry! Something just Are my fault! Don't worry, I'm freakin buff enough to handle it.
• May have great anger, and show this anger with rash outpourings of bad temper ... I'm usually ok with this. Blogging helps. and writing, and Reading what I write. Sometimes that's the biggest eye opener. I can be very rash about what I write in my journal, or even post sometimes.
• May be unaware of appropriate social behavior ... yes I'm eccentric. Sorry, I don't really know how to change yet. Um... ways to fix... Watch other people's behavior. Don't wear quicksilver jacket to church, no matter how comfy it is, or how good it smells.
• May be oblivious to their personal appearance, or to appropriate dress ... see above..
• May be unaware of how their behavior affects others ... until recently, I was. Now I'm doing a better job at seeing that 'Hey! I'm influential sometimes!' It's not very fun.
• May be oblivious to other people's need ...one I do Not have. I think. I'm pretty sure. I try very hard to be aware of other people's needs. I try to help other people whenever freakin possible. It makes me happy. I'd rather solve other people's problems than mine. So please, talk. I'll try to help.
• May develop strong judgments that are difficult to unseed against people who they perceive have been oppressive or suppressive to them ...ask me about my 2nd and 6th grade teachers sometime.... and be prepared for a rant
• Under stress, may obsessively brood over a problem repeatedly ...Seriously, repeatedly. as in over and over and over and over.
• May have unreasonable expectations of others ...I Really Really hope I don't do this. I really try to let people be themselves and love them for it. I hate it when people have ridiculous ambitions or expectations for me, and I don't want to do the same for other people.
  

Here's my new rules for myself:

Ten Rules to Live By to Achieve INFP Success

1. Feed Your Strengths! Encourage your natural artistic abilities and creativity. Nourish your spirituality. Give yourself opportunities to help the needy or underprivileged.
2. Face Your Weaknesses! Realize and accept that some traits are strengths and some are weaknesses. Facing and dealing with your weaknesses doesn't mean that you have to change who you are, it means that you want to be the best You possible. By facing your weaknesses, you are honoring your true self, rather than attacking yourself.
3. Express Your Feelings. Don't let unexpressed emotions build up inside of you. If you have strong feelings, sort them out and express them, Don't let them build up inside you to the point where they become unmanageable!
4. Listen to Everything. Try not to dismiss anything immediately. Let everything soak in for awhile, then apply judgment.
5. Smile at Criticism. Remember that people will not always agree with you or understand you, even if they value you greatly. Try to see disagreement and criticism as an opportunity for growth. In fact, that is exactly what it is.
6. Be Aware of Others. Remember that there are 15 other personality types out there who see things differently than you see them. Try to identify other people's types. Try to understand their perspectives.
7. Be Accountable for Yourself. Remember that YOU have more control over your life than any other person has.
8. Be Gentle in Your Expectations. You will always be disappointed with others if you expect too much of them. Being disappointed with another person is the best way to drive them away. Treat others with the same gentleness that you would like to be treated with.
9. Assume the Best. Don't distress yourself by assuming the worst. Remember that a positive attitude often creates positive situations.
10. When in Doubt, Ask Questions! Don't assume that the lack of feedback is the same thing as negative feedback. If you need feedback and don't have any, ask for it.
