*raises hand* I'm an INFJ with strong T leanings. And what you've described is pretty common for INFJs. I don't know exactly what kind of /help/ you're looking for, but if you just want more information, I recommend searching "INFJ personality type" on the internet - a bunch of really informative sites will pop up. (personalitypage.com is a pretty good one.)As far as feeling isolated goes, you're in luck! Because of our strong sense of intuition and ability to read people, INFJs tend to be pretty good at "taking on" the personality traits of those around them. This is usually easier when there aren't too many people around, so find yourself a small group and let your personality barriers relax.It's also /extremely/ normal for INFJs to feel like we're never good enough, and I wish I had some advice to pull you out of that, because I struggle with it too. The only thing I've found that helps is to get someone I deeply trust to give me permission to be imperfect. I know it sounds weird. But I find that if I dissociate imperfection from disappointing anyone but myself, it's a little easier.If you want to talk more about it, feel free to shoot me a PM. I researched this stuff a good bit when I was figuring myself out, and I imagine you have some of the same questions I did.

You are normal! Don't worry. I find myself wrapped in my own thoughts way too often on a daily basis. But thinking helps you get to know yourself. What you like, what you despise, who you want to be friends with, etc. I never feel like I am enough to keep people interested. Never can be funny enough, smart enough, or flirty enough to maintain friendships... But this is all made up garbage in our heads. Be who you want to be and those who are perfect for you will soon follow.

Hey, Im an INFJ too :) and don't worry about feeling different, I do too ,on a daily basis actually. What I thin sets me apart from everyone is I really dont live on this planet ( figuratively speaking ) I used to feel alone but, ive embraced my inner introvert and really love being alone now, but I do still get lonely, For that I keep my two best friends and ISTP and an ISFP :P. Much more rational, down-to-earth and very different from me but I personally think thats why have have such a strong bond. Ive centered my entire life to making other people content with their lives, getting to the heart of peoples problems and teaching them to vanquish the darkness and let in the light, currently im a psych student, but have written a short self-help book ( for no reason really, only to share ) And like you may have noticed with yourself :) Have freaky intuitive gifts. No-one really knows the real me and im okay with that :) Ive learned that I am an extremely private person, but im content with the few people I have now. You're not crazy, I dont live in the real world, i live in my head, take a look at my profile picture :) and as for the part where you're never pleased with yourself, Most INFJ's are perfectionists ;) you just need to learn to get out of the habit. I have alot of useful information on our personality type if you're interested. Please PM me, ive never really had another INFJ to speak to :P Oh and this website changed my life, I hope it does the same for you :) http://www.16personalities.com/infj-personality
