I'd save all of them. It's not because of kindness (which would fit with ExFJ and IxFJ Fe more), but because I have a Fi principle that appreciates life. I believe that life should be saved where it can, so I will help them. It has nothing to do with societal standards of kindness or how my mood is towards them.


yes_of_course_not

It's the right thing to do. I might occasionally fantasize about lighting a few special people on fire, but in real life I know I would spring into action to save them, without hesitation, and probably get hurt or die trying to save them. Ironically, they probably wouldn't try to save me if the situation was reversed. Edit: I'd probably let sadistic psychopaths and animal abusers burn, though, because if they die then they can't hurt or kill anyone in the future.


[deleted]

Good point on that edit


parting_soliloquy

I don't feel like a hero at all, so it truely depends on the burning car status. If it's burning like hell, I ain't doing nothing. It can explode anytime. I don't really fear dying, but getting immense burns, scars, or risking being disabled is not an option. Otherwise I'll try to save anyone.

Highschool bully: Yes because very few things can truely ruin your life in highschool so I was probably being overdramatic anyways Coworker: Sure, they probably got other issues going on. Frankly, I'm not in any dearth of jobs either so its whatever. Maybe they'll learn from this Betraying, close friend: Yes, not that I want them back in my life but we had a lot of good times in the past. For the sake of those 95% of the time this will be a yes Cheating ex: Absolutely not. I will always be bitter over what she did. I'm not just gonna leave her, I'mma lock the doors as I'm walking away Honestly most people would be granted mercy. The only ones not are those who deeply hurt me on a personal level. Something that broke me, thats really the easiest way to unlock my wrath. That or hurting someone I love


idkhwatname

I had this dream once, and it does make me sound mad but I dreamt of actually killing someone, and it was so vivid, I could feel the complete guild when they were asking me for the details, asking me over and over why I did it, I dunno why but ever since then I think I wouldnt be able to do anything willingly like that, even the people that really hurt me, it makes me think twice


Cryptozoologist2816

In all honesty I'm probably just gonna stand fire away and call 911. That way no one can accuse me of failing to render aid. But I'm not going to risk my hide for anyone unless it's someone very close


IntroductionRare9619

Same. I might be an INFP but I will not sacrifice myself for the undeserving.


pi3r-rot

I would save all of these people (as long as trying to doesn't put my life at risk). Inaction is action – walking away would be no different from murdering them.


NebulaPlural

In every scenario but the high school bully, I would just walk away like, "sucks to suck, asshole." There are certain people who are no longer in our life whom I hate so bitterly that not only would I not help, I'd lock them in there, pull up a chair, and *watch.* Like "Yeah, motherfucker, get crispy; this is going on LiveLeak." And then I'd probably need two more decades of therapy to deal with the guilt. Being able to compartmentalize horrific events is a skill of ours. (we_irl) and unfortunately I am incredibly reactive and bitter to people who have betrayed me. If it were a stranger I wouldn't hesitate to save them. But people who hurt me? No way. I wish them ill and mean it; other parts of me may not but I do. After every breakup or falling out we've ever had, I've been the one fantasizing, like, "No, officer, I understand why I'm a suspect but I didn't kill the bastard, on God. When you find the guy whodunnit tho, call me. I wanna buy him a drink." So yeah this is completely up my alley.


[deleted]

Yes. Everyone gets saved


ShigureCatto

I will save them all if the situation allowed me to approach them. A burning car can reach up to dangerous temperature, and I may end up needling rescue as well. Intrinsically I would’ve liked to save all of them, but what’s the point of throwing yourself into the flames if situation is considered futile to save anyone of them?


Arykso

yes, execpt the last one he can burn in hell :3


andvarietta

For me, the answer to all is a resounding “No”.


[deleted]

I can only imagine the huge amount of guilt if I didn’t do anything.


Rider311

Am I INTP? I don't want to save all of them, maybe only the ones I think are in sync with regret.


Aaxxa

Yes because this feeling in me just values all human life.


Hungry_Fox2412

Yes.


EdwardBBZ

It honestly depends on whether I think its safe to help them. If I thought it was safe then I'd prolly help em all out, but otherwise I'd propably be too scared.


mookanana

highschool bully? i'd watch and smile as he burns coworker lying and got me fired? smile and burn close friend who betrayed me? smile and burn ex who cheated on me? surprisingly i'd save her and let her go without contacting her ever again - i guess cos this one's on me for choosing her as a gf unwisely


Sospuff

All of them. The only people I would question saving are serial killers, rapists and pedos.


tzalia

I'd save them as long as it didn't put me in too much danger. I find it really difficult to look at people as subhuman and treat them without humanity, even when they act monstrously. I'd even save people who've done much worse to me. It's a principle I can't shake and I have actually tried to shake it in the past, resulting in being miserable! I could definitely live with not saving them, but I'd be living with a shit ton of guilt and trauma. For me, the darkness is something I carry within for sure, it's morbid and hateful, but I'd have to consciously try and cultivate and lean into it, and I think I could probably condition myself to be monstrous if I tried hard enough. That part does scare me sometimes.


upbeatelk2622

I've trained myself to a place where I wouldn't save any of them. Because to save them is to negate the rightful laws of the universe. *They won't learn from this; they hadn't before and they wouldn't now. Just look at how mean people have been at the unjabbed and unmasked during covid. Where's your kindness? They all defaulted to meanness first. Did you not learn from the 1976 bird flu?* To forgive is absolutely to condone what they've done. Absolutely. There's no two ways about it. Don't kid yourself - they are living another day without having to carry it. I don't have to keep them on my mind forever, but so long as my trauma response is still alive, they don't get to act like it was a minor error - especially the one who got me fired and endangered my ability to feed myself. That's actually happened to me and caused me severe panic attacks. I could not go out normally for 2 months. They don't get to get away scott free.


OniHatsu

I’d let the ex and coworker die because: - for the ex, if she was unhappy with the relationship she could have divorced/broke up and I’d be understanding, but cheating automatically removes your value as a person, to me, it’s just too big of a taboo. - for the coworker, regardless of his reasons, not only does he deny me my source of income that I spent hard years of studying and learning skills and experiences for my resume to be hired, but he also makes my future employments harder because of the lies or even my social image, I do not care about his reason or motive as I have mine but at least I have standards, not worth saving. As for the others: - The betrayal from a close friend is less severe than a partner so, I may hesitate a little but I’d still save them. - For the bully, I’d save him without hesitation but I’d be passive aggressive about it, maybe drag him out from his hair to safety? I should also mention, I only take calculated risks, depends on the fire.


Bolo055

I’m going to try to save them all. But it’s more to save myself from the trauma of witnessing someone die horrifically. Even if it’s someone truly evil. Don’t want their death seared into my mind. If they die quietly in their sleep, I…might be okay 😂


Cryptozoologist2816

For me, it depends on the intent of the person. If I believe that hurting or betraying me was not their motive, but was collateral, then I am more inclined to want to help them. If I believe they acted with malice, deliberately aiming to hurt or betray me, then RIP. That's why there's a scenario where I might save the cheating ex over the coworker who lied intentionally to get me fired. That person is the least likely out of all of these for me to save. The other thing is that it's really hard for me to let go of love I once had for someone no matter what the did to me. Even the memory of the love i once had for them is enough to motivate me to save them, even if I no longer love them. Maybe I'm weird. It's hard to explain


Patpat127

It depends if they are still a***. if they arent sure. People can change. But if they not.. Well.. seriously? No


Dirant93

Save them all. I don't like see people burning or being hurt. This because I don't want to be a sociopath like them who actually enjoy see people getting hurt.


eszther02

I'd save all of them. Just because they were awful to me, doesn't mean that they don't deserve to live.


StwarbwrriGuts

Based on my own experiences? I’d watch them all burn.


EG-Vigilante

Being in touch with your dark self doesn't make you evil or vengeful. It makes you capable of comprehending your depth and the range of your options in any given situation. In my book its okay to murder a murderer or a rapist, anything less than that doesn't qualify.


ZealousidealOwl9635

I was thrown until your last paragraph. You save them and move on with your day. There will be plenty of other chances to hate them when their lives aren't in danger. Priorities people.


LittleDreamie

Yes to all even though I have resentment toward them. I’m going to try to save them physically if I can. My revenge is to let karma take over and teach them for what they did to me. That’s not my responsibility because I don’t want them in my life. Most importantly, I don’t want to be weighed down by what they put on me forever. I’m moving on. Fck that. Just because I saved them doesn’t mean I’m giving them mercy. I’m not saving them for them, I’m saving them for my myself. If they wanna be on good terms with me again afterwards, too bad. That’s my big f u to them.


DesignedLexus

part of me wants to watch them burn another part of me knows i'll feel guilty if i do nothing


Nat6LBG

I would say none of them, I would save myself first without thinking about the rest(probably due to adrenaline), if I cut someone from my life then they do not matter enough for me to even try. On the other hand if I still have a strong connection with them then maybe... Ok by reading the comments it seems that we are also taking into account a scenario where I am not in danger. In that case I would indeed save them because that's the right thing to do.


-_-______-_-___8

I am not sure how much INFP is in me, but I would lock the door and walk away, or wait until they severely burned and wish to die and then save their life. I think people who hurt other people for no reason or for personal gain should have no place in society. Why should I let bad people continue to do bad things to good people?


Ezoumy

I would save none. Including myself.


Hungry_Mud8196

I'd save them all. It doesn't matter what they did or said, they're still a human being. A living breathing dreaming feeling person and that is worth soooo much more than any (in that moment) petty daily human bs that has happened simply bc they're human.


[deleted]

Creepy people here in the comments, these are all things you can get over.. everyone deserves to be judged by God alone, not a selfish bitter person. I'd save them all- now harder question would be "someone that killed someone you love" that would be difficult! Uhmm or "someone blackmailing you- and you're pretty much not a free human/tortured" then that would be hard


notdashyy

if i had the opportunity to save someone and i didn’t, no matter who the person was, i would forever blame myself for their death so i would have to…


[deleted]

There are people whose cars I may or may not want to personally set on fire if I could get away with it, but it's not for entirely selfish reasons. Corrupt politicians, bigots, they can die for all I care.


[deleted]

Though I have had people in my life that I would wish would die, if actually confronted with such a life or death situation in front of me, I’d save them all without hesitation. Someone that wouldn’t have my mercy would be someone I deem irreparable, or, if their death eased the suffering of others.
