*Aggressively makes tea*

@infj-hearts-entp

Laughing at myself as I go through some old emails from grad school. If you ever wanted an email version of an INFJ door slam, it looks like sequentially replying to a social group email chain with:

"Thank you for the invitation! I’m so sorry I can't make happy hour."

One week later...

"Unfortunately, I can't make the birthday party."

Two weeks later…

“I’m unable to join that day.”

One month later...

"I won't be there."

Four months later...

"I'm moving to South Africa."

Poll: INFJs, what's your ideal day?

Imagine you have one glorious day all to yourself. No work, no errands, no obligations whatsoever. How would you spend your time?

A) Cottage core coziness

You settle down on a couch in a sunny corner, with your sketchbook, latest needlework, or a good book, along with a pile of blankets, and a pot of tea. However, you may or may not get around to any of it because napping is strongly encouraged. When you wake up, you stroll through the garden and then bake a batch of scones.

B) Rainy academia rabbit hole

You turn on some classical music, pull a chair up to a magnificent mahogany work desk and crank out the newest plot twist in your murder mystery manuscript. For inspiration, you go for a walk in the rain, grab a coffee from your favorite cafe, and end up strolling the halls of a local museum.

C) Wanderlust wayfarer

You hop on the local public transportation and get off at a stop you've never been to before. You stroll through charming streets, go antique shopping, and browse bookshops and thrift stores. For a break, you grab a table at a local restaurant, order an indulgent meal, and journal about your excursions that day.

D) Brew-hopping bookworm

You grab your favorite travel bag, pile it full of books, a journal, and/or a sketchbook, and make your way over to your favorite coffee shop or bar. You snag a small table in a cozy corner and, over the course of several luxurious hours, imbibe in your favorite drink, and get lost in reading, writing, or sketching for hours. At the end of it all, you purchase a growler of your favorite brew, or bag of your favorite roast, and head home.

E) Fresh air friend

Fresh air is calling, and you must answer. You lace up your favorite pair of walking/running/biking shoes and hit the trail. The weather is perfect. A crisp breeze greets your face. As you breathe it in, the endorphins start flowing. You're making great time, but that's not the point. It's going to be a great day.

F) Gamer of Thrones

A whole day to yourself? You breathe a sigh of relief as you settle into an ergonomic chair in front of a desk equipped with enough monitors to create a screen the size of the Pacific Ocean. You feel the security of your noise-cancelling headphones suction to your ears like a life vest, and dive into the comforting world of your favorite game. With a minifridge within arms reach and plenty of snacks at your fingertips, life gets very, very good, for the next several hours. (Time? What is time? Also, what is “outside”?)
