people are different.
that's a fact.
starting with physical differences of race, color of skin, fingerprints, and genetic information and ending (well, continuing) with mental features as character traits, mentalities, thought processes, etc.
if we were all the same, it would be boring. God's creativity is immense and immeasurable.
but at the same time, there are moments when i desperately wish that there were more of similarities between people. that would lead to a better understanding.
at my work (and i guess all you who work will understand me), it seems like we got all the personalities represented. some are more popular, some are rare. i thank God for a friend Anyuta i got at work because she understands me like no one else (well, at least at work. i still have Anne, my best friend, outside of work)...
today for some reason i was especially perceptive to the differences and they drove me up the wall.
i guess, all i am trying to say that i just want people to accept me for WHO I AM. i try to do that as well (obviously failing because i can't accept people who try to change me)... all i want is understanding. i don't need advices or something. i'll ask if i need anything (and i do ask often).
please... i am not you. you are not supposed to be me. so stop trying to make me like you. stop molding me into a shape that is foreign for my INFJ personality.
INFJs are deeply concerned about their relations with individuals as well as the state of humanity at large. They are, in fact, sometimes mistaken for extroverts because they appear so outgoing and are so genuinely interested in people -- a product of the Feeling function they most readily show to the world. On the contrary, INFJs are true introverts, who can only be emotionally intimate and fulfilled with a chosen few from among their long-term friends, family, or obvious "soul mates." (

please... all i ask... let me be who i am.

ISTJ is me so I can relate on some of the same issues. Acceptance is difficult for many and impossible for others. Just remember to try to model Christ...
