Feelings Schmeelings

So i signed up to yet another forum. This one wasn't specifically on Hard Dance per se but more targeted towards English speakers in Germany. Yes, i figured i'd sign up to something that has more relevance to what is going on in my present life and shove me towards trying to make new friends. Currently, apart from my sister and J, they are my little circle of friends- or triangle more like it. Not like there's anything wrong with that but it's always nice to mingle once and awhile. The hermit lifestyle can only go so far.

I haven't introduced myself yet on the forum but i will... eventually. Am just waiting for the right thread without sounding like an over eager beaver desperate to mingle with individuals i can comprehend. So for now i'm just an observer just cruising through the relevant threads that tickle my fancy.

Anyway, in the profile section there's one section where you can do a Personality Test online. Yes, i know i'm a sucker for those online tests! AnyhooOooo it was interesting to see what my results were and in some freaky way, it was quite accurate... hmmm...
INFP: Introverted Intuitive Feeling Perceiving [wikipedia]

These people are idealistic, self-sacrificing, and somewhat cool or reserved. They are very family and home oriented, but don't relax well. High capacity for caring. High sense of honor derived from internal values. 1% of the total population.

INFPs feel internal turmoil when they find themselves in situations in which there is conflict between their inner code of ethics and their relationships with others. They feel caught between pleasing others and maintaining their own integrity. Their natural tendency to identify with others, compounded with their self-sacrificial dispositions, tends to leave them confused as to who they really are. Their quiet personalities further feeds their feelings of depersonalization. The INFP's quest for self-identity then seems even more alluring — but increasingly impossible to attain.

As with all NFs, the INFP will feel lost and perplexed at stressful times. As stress builds, INFPs become disconnected from their own personality and perceived place in life. They will lose sight of who they are in relation to time and place. They may not make basic observations, while instead they will focus on the more abstract and symbolic meanings of a particular interaction. This can sometimes baffle those who expect more direct communication and a fairly concrete relationship.

My sister and i will be heading to Bonn tomorrow to look at another flat that we'll be sharing with some random guy. The photos of the place look really nice and it even has a roof garden/deck. It's smack right in the middle of the centre of it all and literally next door to where my sister works. Plus my German classes are not too far off and i can walk there in 5 minutes. It seems perfect! Fingers crossed that we get an appointment to see the place tomorrow.
