Introverted iNtuitive Feeler Perciever

Have you ever had a moment of clarity? Where the whole world feels illuminated, where you feel as if the stone wall around your heart has opened its gates? I just did. I was having this huge anxiety issue tonight, and I went on the computer to research some personality traits I'd wondered about in myself, and I found the jackpot. Myers-Briggs Personality Types. I'd known about them for ages, but, when I took the test, and I took it many times, I got these bullshit personality types that didn't fit me. Until tonight, when I stumbled upon INFP.

That's what similarminds.com says about INFP's, or idealistic personalities. It's like they looked into my mind and wrote down what they saw. This is me! This is ME! From the melancholy mien to the artsy ideals to the abhorrence for office work, THIS IS ME! I'm so excited that I could find something that describes me! I mean, I thought my tilt towards the sadder things in life made me crazy, but here I see that about 1 in 16 people is an INFP, theoretically. That's about 419,187,000 people with my issues! With my ideals and dislikes and likes and values! With my struggles! Four-hundred-thousand lost souls! Four-hundred-thousand thinkers! I feel the comradery! I feel understood! Oh, this is great. Anyone who has ten minutes, look into your personality. It's freaking amazing.
