you know you're an infj when:
People shake their heads at you a lot.
you can't wait to be alone.
It all seems so clear in your head, but never comes out your mouth in the same way.
You wish you had a pause button so you had time to think through your response before you say it.
You prefer to write it all down than say it.

You just know things, without explanation, enough to freak people out
You want to save the world... without being noticed.
Etc...
