1. “It’s okay to want to feel safe and secure with everyone in your life. But know that it’s also okay to be unsure. People close to you are going to hurt you–not on purpose, they just have trouble seeing things from your perspective. Don’t give up on people who won’t give up on you.” –ENTP
2. “I’m out here! I’m one of you! We both do the same thing! We can trust each other and connect, and it will really be okay.” –INFJ

4. “Oh my gosh you are my favorite people thanks for being so nice and not ever letting me get pushed around.” –INFP
5. “Thanks for being understanding but if I’m close to you, I would love you to take my side sometimes instead of always remaining a neutral party.” –INTP

7. “To most of you: are you SURE you didn’t mistype yourself? To the one who actually is an INFJ: I will gladly sit at your feet and learn from you all the day long. Let’s muse internally about the nature of time and truth together.” –INFP
8. “You’re not helping by enabling your unhealthy loved ones… its just the same patterns repeating themselves.” –ENFP
9. “If we sit in a room together and don’t say anything, it’s really okay. Don’t take it personally. I spend a lot more time on particle physics and structural integrity than you probably want to.” –INTJ
10. “You may know things by strong intuitions and feelings, but I know things by observing too. You are so careful and idealist but I can predict your next step because it’s so obvious in my observation.” –ISTP

16. “You are the most valuable, soulful people on this planet. Your insight is the stuff of the gods. But don’t forget to love yourself – not just in a metaphysical sense. Love yourself as tangibly as you possibly can. If you want something, go for it. Buy yourself that thing. Flirt with that hot person. Your needs are just as important as everybody else’s. Also. Don’t let your extrovert-mask drain you. Say no when you need to. Stand up for your needs, your time, your very own self. You is kind, you is smart, you is important.” –ISTP

21. “Most people in your life will not understand you, the way you feel so strongly about certain things and the ideas you come up with. This is okay. Love them anyway, even if they can’t understand you. And never stop talking about your beliefs.” –ENFP
