1210Nique well To make you feel better ENFPs usually have alot of acquaintances and hardly any friends. We have to see if your even worthy of being a friend before we allow you to be our own. Which sucks because I'm turning 25 and well never had a bestfriend ever. I mean I have my sister's and my husband. But no one that I just click with that isn't related to me.
Yeah, I noticed that when I was at youth activities. People will say something like "I'm your friend, can I have some food?" and I would say no because if I didn't have anything they wouldn't have approached me and I'm not into one-sided relationships where they think I'm their friend or I think we're friends and....we're not.
A huge problem I have as an INFP is a strong desire to have deep emotional connections with people ,but I never have the confidence to open up. What's worse is that I expect people to understand me and become incredibly frustrated when they dont-WHEN ITS MY FAULT THEY DONT KNOW ME IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!
I feel the same! It hurts, but not too bad 'cause you kinda deal with it and get used to it. Sometimes it hits me hard when I realize I don't have any true close friends...
Same. I feel like I inadvertently push people away instead of forming a connection with them. Or, I will make friends, but then stop talking to them because I feel awkward when I go and talk to a friend that I haven't spoken to in a while.
@@jagothegamer5750 SAAAAAME I don't send many sms even though I think of the person as a friend and that not sending sms not change our friendship but people don't feel the same at all. They need to talk often to be friends and I don't. So when I don't talk too much to them, they are disapointed, but some time I just don't know what to say or I just don't feel like it
@@SonGoku-hv1ke Ya I get that. If it helps, I will sometimes try to start a conversation with a friend I haven't spoken to in a while, it's a little nerve racking at first, but once in conversation it's pretty easy to maintain (I just go with the basic "how are you", "what ya been up to", ect ect and if we have common interests, talk about those too). Otherwise, I'm normally in my room or playing video games and the only human interaction with others outside of my family is when I go to work.
No, i'm also a so-called "highly sensitive person". I'm a 26-year old male, and I have not cried over anything in around 6 or 7 years (Shedding a tear over beautiful music isn't what I would consider crying really). Before that it was probably another 5-7 years since I cried, if not longer. Not even 2 "cries" per decade! =) I'm probably borderline on the "INFP/INTP-scale" though. I feel things very very deeply, but things doesn't get solved if you cry about it. If you're a woman, then it's not so strange if you cry a lot. Women are a lot more sensitive and emotional than men are on average. That's one of many things that I love about women though!
@@Diogenes_Lantern. I don't know how I feel about you thinking women are more sensitive/emotional than men. It's kind of weird, but also possibly true because I'm a female and I'm a crybaby. I cry at nearly everything.
I am a sensitive person, but I don't show it to public, even my closest friends they didn't even have a clue if i was crying, it just won't come out when someone is watching me crying idk.... but i get so vulnerable in front of my parents, only them.
me as an INFP: why don't people understand me. me: *stays in room* me: *reads/listens to music/watches youtube for 6 hours* me: *doesn't talk about deep personal life* me: wHy DoN'T pEoPle UnDeRsTaNd mE
*OKAY DOES ANYONE ELSE:* -hates routine jobs -loves to travel, wants to explore the whole world -feels most alive when experiencing something new -loves all animals very much -starts something, but find it hard to finish it because your attention switches to something else and your mind races so fast ...
Pete Rock Preemo When I was married , my wife kept a wedding photo by the bedside, I used to jokingly tell her don't focus on the ( very not so handsome groom) but rather focus on ( the beautiful bride) so you don't have nightmares,she never laughed she thought I was too self-deprecating to the point of being inconfident?
Guys please tell me I'm not the only one that cries because you feel like nobody knows who you really are and I always feel like my life is just incomplete like I'm waiting for something but I don't know what
mood: When you notice something beautiful in the world and you want to tell everyone about it, but you don’t because you know they won’t see it the same way you do.
Like realising that the moon is full and red-ish and you are in awe.But then you tell your friends and they seem to don't give a fuck . So you just block everything out and stare at the beautiful moon, something that warms your heart way more than your so called friends
As an INFP I find it funny how some personalities see us as precious. Almost as if they think we are some cute little kid. Where as others see us as mysterious people they want to get to know. On paper it may seem like INFP's are cute, bubbly and innocent people, but we are also known to fiercely fight for our ideals and nothing will stop us from that. Any person who sees this personality as cute are undermining the complexity of our nature. If we do come off as precious, it's probably because we don't like you and we are giving nothing of our real selves to you. We will never be mean, try to make you feel uncomfortable or upset the balance, but the way a INFP will let know they like you, is by being themselves.
five5x thank you for writing this!! I'm tired of people just assuming we're these "soft teddy bears." But in fact our personality goes way beyond that. If only people would just take the time to get to know us...
Sometimes I’ll have a conversation with myself in my head, start making faces that go along with the conversation, therefore making myself look like a strange idiot in public. Gotta love being INFP.
You get better at socializing with others after a certain amount of time and become an expert at keeping cordial conversations but you're never able to express yourself as honestly as you'd like to.
This is very relatable. People around me get the impression that I’m this confident speaker and far from shy, because I’m so easy to talk to. Yet others say I don’t talk much. Deep down I am quite shy, and no one notices how sensitive I feel about explaining myself. Its a really weird paradox. It’s as if I can be a confident speaker with other people’s topics, yet with personal shit there’s some kind of force stopping me, I’m that scared of talking about it
The whole aspect about INFP's using their childlike persona to shield their inner sensitivity is really true though. My family always treat me and see me as a child, but I honestly never tell them what I truly think because I know they'll never understand and would dismiss everything I think about.
@@silentseeker3579 started doing this this week, it helps bring up your inner thoughts in dreamform, i would almost call it dreamthinking. to do it myself i have the lights off, an alarm that goes off in an hour, and im lying on my bed and just think, eyes closed, without falliing asleep, it helps me go through my deepest thoughts and create clarity for my mind.
I meditate everyday without realising it before you I go to sleep, I don't do it on purpose either. My struggle to sleep often time turns into a few hours long sessions of me talking to myself in my head, with my eyes closed and keeping calm.
INFP, here. Also a guy. Not ashamed of it. There's power in demonstrating love, in a world that badly needs it. This is why it bleeds through my music, art, and writing.
VicaMOOR I'm INFP, INTP and PAS/HSP (Persona Altamente Sensible/Highly Sensitive Person). I'm so imaginative but highly logical and low-emotional. Also a biological young girl, not-cisgender person and bisexual, Spanish historian of art. Not ashamed of it.
VicaMOOR awww, that's awesome. I'm an ENFP so I'm different. But I understand you guys so well. My favorite professor is an INFP. we connected on a different level. It was pretty cool. The weird thing is we both live with out letting people know the real us. I live behind a facade and well you guys can be in a huge group of people and think to yourself ,"they don't know the real me".
One of the things I really like a out being INFP is the hability to live in inner world's inside of me, people often think I'm clumsy or easily distracted but I just enjoy living inside of me. 1.5 k likes ? What the heck, thanks guys, keep loving that powerful inner world of ourselves, but try to bring those ideals and ideas to this world, it helped me a lot to grow up to be a more mature infp
Arkman 22 yeah I had to quit my job as a labourer because I'd just get so lost in my head sometimes. Today had it right, focus on where you are, what you are doing.
Sarah Ryan I will be starting to work on call centers in a few weeks, I don't know what to expect but I'm terrified about not paying attention to the calls while daydream, daydream is awesome but it's hard to be focused
As an INFP, I find myself stopping randomly to just admire beautiful things like sunsets and flowers. Sometimes, it really annoys the people around me because they think I’m getting distracted. But, it’s the little things that make this life worthwhile.
I always call attention to these things also. I just feel so inspired and it’s so beautiful. Like time freezes and I almost feel like I’m in a movie scene. But then I point it out to others and their like...meh , no big deal. I secretly feel most ppl are shallow
I'm an INFP! What I like about my type - being alone, yet rarely lonely. An old soul; rich inner thoughts and emotions. Unique tastes in the arts. Being able to spot "kindred spirits" and similarly sniffing fake people a mile away. Only having one or two genuine, close friends.. and hundreds of 'friendly acquaintances'.. *my dream is to live in a remote country cottage - only having wifi, my books, my violin and maybe a dog.*
YOU THERE! YES YOU! How were you able to describe my own self so perfectly? Like everything, especially that last part was so spot on (except about the dog, I’m more of a cat person).
Spot on!! Except I'd replace dog with cats, and with someone I genuinely love, preferably another Infp as myself, we'd travel, we'd do research together, we cook, clean, spend time, together, we'd taste tea, wine for the rest of our lives, no heartbreaks, no sorrows, just us, and if we fight, we won't leave the other person hanging, because we have each other
I'm going through this comment section, and I'm just feeling like it was me who wrote every single comment, It's crazy how we are all so alike but yet we can't find that many reliable and trustworthy people in the real world
I really wonder if this is an INFP thing. When I was younger almost every time my teachers, or other people with authority, would talk with me about anything serious related to me, or how I felt, I would have this uncontrollable urge to cry. So I just started crying even when I wasn't upset about anything really. Even now I still get this urge when someone is criticizing me. I really don't want to cry and really am open to criticism, but when everyone starts talking about me I just completely shut down.
oh my lord! same, this still happens to me. Like if some body would politely criticize me, i would immediately start crying even though everything they say makes perfect sense and their advice could help me in some way, but i still do it. Other times when people are rude to me and i stand up for my self, i can't help but breakdown just seconds later and that gives an impression to others that i'm trying to act like the victim when in reality i literally don't want to cry but my heart starts feeling like a huge bolder all of a sudden. I've even googled countless times as child on how not to be overly sensitive but that never works.
You’re not alone. You can get better at socializing though and hey! At least this comment section confirms there are a lot of great INFPs out there. I believe that you’ll find people who get you and that you like and hopefully feel comfortable with because you deserve it :) 💓
I've always loved INFP's. You are just the cutest, quirkiest people ever, so interesting but hard to get to know. The poetic vivid imagery of many INFP's writing can not be matched in my opinion and you are so highly fun to be around. Almost all girls I ever fell in love with turned out to be INFP's - although due to my incredible shyness I was incapable of working out on these crushes - however for me INFP females remain the most attractive and interesting girls out of all cognitive types. They portrait the pure femininity compared with a richness of deep thinking and melancholic longing that I so absolutely adore. I seem subconsciously drawn to INFP girls as I only after I have already developed the crushes recognized them to also have an INFP cognitive type. The guys portrait the soft, kind, goodhearted friend every other guy could wish for and not the harsh partygoing shallow pick-up snobs that so tick me off. Male infp's are just the best, the poets of ancient and modern times and the soft idealistic dreamers our cruel world so badly needs today. The examples that not all guys have to be strong muscle and swordfighters, but the individualists with a sense of the finer things in life. I love you INFP's! Stay who you are and continue to enrich this world in a way that only you can! You are irreplacable and I want you to just stay who you are forever! Especially because the melancholic dreamy idealistic INFP exists I know there is hope for humanity. So many of you (also people INFP's I know) have proven it more than once. Continue to bless the world with your love, kindness and richness of the mind! Continue to bless us all by merely being here. ~An INFJ
Gisol I'm speechless from all the emotions I felt while reading you comment and unfortunately I can't find a word to describe them besides thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
Actually crying reading this because I just feel useless and stupid like... I feel like no one sees a good thing in me u know? I want people to feel like being next to me but not because I'm asking them to, but just because they like me and it's a natural thing.. aaaaa I feel so lonely, damn it ;-; Thanks for this! It made me feel special! ❤
You are so kind and your comment brings me so much joy. As an INFP, I love INFJs: your depth allures me and your ultimate compassion and empathetic nature awes and delights me. I will always admire the decisiveness, intelligence, warmth, and depth of INFJs. ~an INFP
The “many layers to their personality” thing is so true Most people see me as a shy and quiet kid that likes to draw in class My friends see me as an idiot that would tackle someone to the ground for fun
When I was younger I used to think my Personality was so negative: Guarded, reserved, socially awkward at times and rarely heard Though as I grow and mature I notice my positive qualities more and how they affect my life: I appreciate even the most mundane aspects of our natural world like the shape and detail of a flower I provide a willingness to listen to friends and aqquaintances especially when it’s most needed I find a positive in most things or situations others don’t necessarily identify I love my idealism and it’s ability to not be tainted by this sometimes cruel world
I want to apologize to myself for ever being unhappy with being an INFP. I love my naivity, childlike thoughts and rich imagination like nothing else about me. I felt scared when i read that people tend to lose that when they get older.. i love that so much about me. Even if it makes me weaker and more feminine. At the same time i want to weep for INFP's born in different circumstances than a rich, advanced society full of freedom and possibilities.. who had to endure living in brutal and difficult circumstances. I think an INFP is the one who would suffer from that the most.
Try Works Of Love by Kierkegaard - you could learn something about trust ar least.. Warning: by today's secular standards, that book could be understood as inhuman...
Yeah, I would considered myself to be born around a society that aren’t really aware of individual’s differences and people don’t tend to listen to opinions that is not the same as theirs. It is very hard for me to fit in and not being misunderstood as a two-faced when I try to explain to my friend why the person they were arguing had got the point. Or worse, being called for pretending to be innocent in order to be known as a nice person even though I wasn’t pretending, a childish personality is originally in me, it wasn’t made up. Now that I have moved to many other places, I learnt that there is still some people out there who are even feeling the same thing as what I was feeling, those who have the same thinking as me, and also importantly, those who might not be the same as me but still are supportive and understanding aka anyone else. It gives me hope is humanity again, the more open-minded and accepting we are, the closer we are gonna find a harmony guys. Thank you for coming to my TED talk 😛
Literally making a fool of myself to lift others confidence or make them feel comfortable being with me bc they can look down on me. It's so stupid but I used to do that a lot. Now I'm a bit more careful bc I don't like being looked down at.
INFPs in the comments, ya'll are so cute and precious and you are source of tenderness VERY MUCH NEEDED by this chaos we call the world. Hugs and kisses :)
Aww thank you so much 🥰 Honestly, whenever we INFP hear something like this it just means so much. Because most of the time we feel misunderstood and feel alien around everyone else sometimes. It is just very nice to be reminded that we are actually loved and appreciated, thank you so much ☺️💕
Tearing up a bit as I scroll through the comments section. I finally feel understood in some capacity, and it’s such a relief to know that I’m not alone in feeling and being this way. Love to all my fellow INFPs🥰!
Spot on video, especially at the part where u said infp's have a sort of hidden personality. I keep my friend circle small, id say about 95% of people who'd consider me their good friend are only acquaintances to me (there's a huge difference). Like I can hang out with someone for 2 months straight and they might think they know me and we're best friends when really they only know what I want them to when I want them to.. I don't trust very easy but when you get it you have it until you break it.
Just saying, it's awesome to see male INFPs on here because a lot of them seem to be females, and it's really cool to see you guys around! I know what you're talking about, and it's so weird how people can think they know the other and they....don't. Like, wouldn't they notice this lack of information and how little they know about their 'friend'?
OH MY GOD. this describes me so well :"). There are like.... several people "claim" me as their bff. But... i dont think so. I think i dont really have what so called bff, okay maybe 1 or 2 (but of course the "do not crossing" lines are still there). And when i open up to them,its like i bet all my trust, i prefer small companion, and i appreciate loyalties so much. But at the end of the day, they break it. So yeah... i have friends. But not bestfriend.
Creo que en ese sentido nos contradecimos (infp). Somos muy sentimentales para todo excepto para hacer amigos. Quizás otras personas no necesitan saber todo sobre nosotros para amarnos, simplemente se dejan llevar por lo que sienten. Después de todo, considerar a alguien "amigo" es más una cuestión de sentimiento que de conocimiento.
yes very awesome job in breaking our personalities down.. though as hearing this it made me worry for my fellow personality type friends..if a evil facist, or evil corporation or governement wanted to rule the world ..we would be the first to go :( as we would never get in line with the dark side, or sell our souls or let anyone be suppressed and harmed just for money reward or personal safety..we really are the greedy and power hungries worst enemies..run INFP!! RUNNNN!!!
I would rather be dead than live a life where only money and corporations ran the country. DEAD!... Hypothetically, of course ^^; Seriously, but hypothetically. (shh...it works somehow)
To all my fellow INFPs, here is a quick poetry by Pearl Buck that is so beautifully relatable to: To him... a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death.
Me: Depressed and horny. Admitting that you're depressed is already a good start. Now the question is what will you do after admitting that you're depressed? Do you keep it like that? Or do you move forward? If you'd like to move forward, what do you do to move forward? Do you make a goal? Do you search for better value? Do you make things out of your imagination? Or do you have better answer to move forward?
The thing about differentiating between friends and acquaintances is sooo me. It takes a lot for me to consider someone a friend and to really open up to them, which kinda sucks when trying to make friends. :P
Ikr! I can not just meet someone and say we are friends now, even when I am with a person for like 2-3 months, I still can't call them friends, I used to think there's something wrong with me 😞
I consider infps as the perfect companions in life whether as friends, family or lovers. They’re very understanding and forgiving, very creative and fun and weird in all the good ways! They’re big fluffs that I want to protect. -an infj
I love INfJs, my closest friend is one! They’re the nicest, most humble, most genuine people on earth. Infjs almost impossible to dislike. They’re so sweet and loyal and dedicated, it’s frightening- Infjs are some of my favorite people!! Keep being loyal to yourself and amazing and am sending much happy vibes! ^^
We probably are the ones who contribute the most to this world but do not receive the acknowledgement for it, only because our ways of thinking are too complex. We dont believe that being right is more important. We don't fight for our own beliefs. We bounce beliefs back and forth according to the personality of the person we speak to. We understand that truth is subjective, therefore what an objective truth is to us has no purpose. We fight in this world to make living easier for everyone else. I think that can be very heroic. To all other INFP's out there who feel down because of lost efforts, you're doing a good job. You put up a brave fight.
It's true I change and talk differently according to the person I'm talking to but many don't see me beyond how i talked to the person maybe in speaking other language
I have a very strange sense of humour as an INFP... I won't laugh at an entire comedy show performed by one of the world's finest comedians, but I will laugh at the silliest and most stupid things in everyday life like a child. So this confuses me
I’m a 17 year old INFP and throughout my childhood I was looked at weirdly by other kids at school for not following trends ever and being “too nice” can anyone relate?
Yes being an INFP in school means you're just social approachable enough for the _"other kids"_ to talk to you and realize how _"weird"_ you are to them. Where kids like the INTP's are seen as too nerdy or closer off to even approach.
I'm an INFP looking for an INFP friend ówò I'm really socially awkward, too nice sometimes and very shy. And I feel like no one understands my music taste, they just can't hear what I hear.
i'm also a fem INFP, and I enjoy kpop too! don't worry, you guys, I'm sure you'll find compatible pals eventually. I'm lucky enough to have found my platonic soulmate, and she is neither a kpop stan nor a fellow INFP (she's INFJ), and same, I'm really drawn towards performing arts too but it' seems like such a hard thing to make a living out of...
Male INFP. Recently moved to new school and the friends I managed to get after 4 years were gone. Have to start anew. Nobody who shares the same interests as me *sigh*
*I've never felt more understood in my whole life. And it feels amazing knowing there are people like myself out there. Wish to meet at least one of you♥*
Me as an INFP: I just want to stay in my room today and enjoy the bliss of privacy *friend calls Friend: I need someone talk to today! My heart is breaking! Me: *rushes to leave to be with friend
ahh sounds familiar. me: "just gonna stay on my bed all day and read stories" *friend texts friend: "you wanna play video games with me?" me: *rushes upstairs to my playstation
As an INFP, am I the only one who struggles at keeping a daily study routine? It's not that I don't want to study or be lazy, its more like my mind isn't available for that.
True. There are aspects I enjoy (being creative and artistic), but I wish I wasn't so socially inept at everything. I can't even hold a normal conversation with anyone without feeling panicked and awkward.
I guess there was a joke in there, but it flew over my head... Ok, jokes aside, I'm both an INFP and an INTP, (and a highly sensitive person, but who cares about that (the answer is nobody)) and being able to be both logical and emotional is both a blessing and a curse. Decision making can be hell when both heart and mind pull in different directions, but at the same time, I become a force of nature when heart and mind are aligned.
@@NightClawprower I am highly sensitive aswell and I care about what you said. I find it really difficult to not bring the stress I experience at work home with me. When people look at me funny or mean I can't help but think I probably did something wrong or they think badly of me and my work... It gives me alot of anxiety and makes me not pursue the jobs/ work I actually want to do. Failure is my worst fear, even though everyone fails from time to time and trying is already a success but still... I guess I have to learn to get over myself. (To anyone who reads this: Thanks for coming to my TED talk).
@@LittleWarWolf Remember not to be too hard on yourself. Some people just don't understand us and it makes us feel like there's something wrong when they give funny looks. Sometimes it really is "It's not me, it's you." We're naturally so harsh on ourselves that we don't often see ourselves in a better light. Sometimes it takes someone else to point out our accomplishments in order for us to see them too. Just remember that :) and don't let negative criticisms affect you.
@@NightClawprower I think everything has its values. You just have to determine which one is right or better for you. Having that ability and knowing how to use it is a blessing and definitely not a curse. Those who don't or can't think for themselves are the "cursed" ones. And without having two different forces that tries to pull each other to the opposite side, there would no longer be balance and that is imo not a good thing. Both your heart and mind are trying to fight for your conscience. I think I just cared since I just wrote a reply. Perhaps you might have a different idea of what "caring" is (from mine).
When I first developed a passion for writing, I thought it was just because I found it fun. But turns out it was so *much* more than that. As a kid, I not only enjoyed writing fiction, but school essays as well. I quickly realized that writing made me feel *heard* (which was something I had trouble with time and time again). Through the words I had created and arranged and shaped, I felt understood and connected with the reader in a way i could never feel by simply saying things out loud. At times, I almost feel as if my thoughts and emotions are disconnected from my body. I’m always thinking and feeling, but I’m so reserved and contained that what actually comes out of my mouth is either only a fraction of what I’m thinking and feeling, or none of it at all. But with writing, I can express myself as freely and creatively as I want to. I can show my views and interpretations about a topic without being compressed. I can present an entire world of friendship, romance, adventure, beauty, horror, and mystery that I created from pure scratch. I can manipulate words so that others can feel what I feel and almost think what I think. Wanting to feel “heard” is something I had wanted for a very, very long time. Writing gave me exactly that.
Im a female INFP and i like the most types of music like im able to hear any kind of music it just needs to be melodic and sounds good for my ears, but metal and rap are my favorites.
i showed my parents they were like yes thats our daughter through and through wish we had known earlier i agree with that statement too. as mediators are very busy with learning everything about themselves
Sadly enough infp's like me have one of the if not lowest percentage of the population :( And when you want a friend like you you would probably not notice that he/she is infp because their behavior is much different at public places then in private so yeah i guess I'll never find/meet a person like me :(
Perry de Zeeuw Exactly! I was thinking the same thing you just never meet a infp and if you do you can't tell because they act so different in public so it's hard to make friends usually
Perry de Zeeuw as an infp I actually enjoy having many personalities surrounding me.. it's interesting to observe them and find our differences and why
Kizzy Dreams wow dude I got chills just by reading that, most of the time I feel misunderstood for being "childish" and for also enjoying this most people find boring
As Internet is popularised now, the personality test is everywhere. The thing is I get really annoyed when people whom are complete different from me takes the test and claim they're an infp while proclaiming that they're caring and thoughtful rather than saying that they relate to the situation... Just saying about people around me. Thought I could understand better as a person but it seems that having the best personality is the main subject :( _sometimes it just feels so lonely. No matter how hard you try to open up after recharging for many days you end up locking yourself again_
THIS !! i remember a tiktok video talking about INTJ personality type and literally everyone in the comment section were like oh thats me !! but sure ig
Ok but i had butterflies in my stomach when i found out that i'm not the only one who wants to be alone in her own little house , maybe with a good view and with big Windows having a dog or a cat , her own precious books , know how to play guitar and sing and drown into her thoughts most of the time . love you all ! I thought i was crazy. Sorry for my eng
So glad I figured out I'm an INFP. I always hated myself for somehow not being able to really fit in, but nowadays I embrace it fully and have never been happier.
I spent the whole 4 and a half minutes of this video reading comments and didn't get a word the narrator said......really heartwarming to see so many relatable comments and knowing what you're feeling is felt by so many other people in the world
My best friend and I are INFPs, we're basically the same person born into different lives: She's a super creative/unique painter (watercolor) and plays contemporary music on ukelele and is an amazing dancer I'm a pencil/ink illustrator and play oboe/flute/sax in orchestra/band and write a lot of poetry :> We get stressed over the same things, have the same mentality, similar dreams, etc. I couldn't imagine life without her D:
Well hi there. This is so me. You don't even know how often people assume I'm immature or dumb, but in reality I'm like...quoting Edgar Allan Poe in my head. :'D
Hey team infp! :) I hope you're all having fun discovering things about yourselves and others! One of my favorite things to do in my spare time is creative writing - it's actually something that many infps are known to be gifted at! I hope you all are persuing your own dreams and are actively engaging in things everyday that make yourself happy. I know it's easy to feel down on yourself and feel confused about your place in life, but I'd like you all to keep your heads up and see the significance in the little things you do. The world is a much more beautiful place with you in it!
As an INFP, I do have a lot amount of layers around me and it's like peeling an onion for the others. It takes a lot of time for me to be able to reveal myself to another person. We do build a hell of a fortress around ourselves. But I know by doing that, it is an impossible task for our circle to really understand us. I was lucky to have people who stood by and had the patience to let me remove my shell little by little. It is not easy for them because usually I can read them very easily and they are comfortable to share their inner thoughts and sufferings with me. And when i don't do the same, they feel like I don't trust them.
As an infp, especially a male one, I would often feel very alone in the way I view the world. This video describes who I am better than anyone in my life that has ever described me. On one hand being this way makes me feel isolated, but on there other hand I see so much beauty in the mundane that I often pity those who don't see the world the way I do.
Wow this is amazing, especially the part about innocence because that's one of the best qualities to have and I always look for it in others as I recognize that I never really lost my innocence. I am actually stunned at how accurate this is
I love how zoned out soooo quickly into the video...I usually daydream when im really bored or - in this case - really intrigued. Hahah, such an infp. Lovely video!
As an INFP, my mind's always out of this world.. I also believe that everything has it ends, and it helped me so much since I'm an overthinker and always struggling coz despite being an idealistic person, I have no such dreams as others. I am capable of doing anything, but can't master one single thing. I am easily swayed by other thing and so on. It is like, one day I'm being obsessed with digital art, and then the next day I have no will to do some of it again. Not gonna lie ,at first i thought I'm kinda doomed. I thought I have some mental issue or something coz I hate how my mind works. Imagine breathing existential crisis .. It is hard AF. That's why... *virtual hug for my fellow infps* happy I found someone like me through this
I have this obsession with analyzing everything and lately it’s just gotten worse. I am always thinking about my own and others’ psychology and the reasons behind everyone’s actions. I love giving advice and helping people, but lately I’ve been feeling like my friends’ therapist and it has been pretty draining. All of this analyzing makes it impossible to make the simplest of decisions, like what food to order or what to wear ...
i like being an INFP and usually dreaming but tbh i get a bit annoyed sometimes because i wish to be slightly more down to earth and stop getting too easily distracted, which triggers a lot of thoughts relating to how distracted i am and this bugs me. anyone else experiencing the same thing?
Yes, but it our way of "relaxing our minds." I think.... This is why I learn to take note while I day-dream so I can catch up what I miss. I hope this comment ease your minds! :D
Everyone in my family is an extrovert except for two people (my dad and my brother, who are both ambiverts, which I actually wasn't sure existed until I realized that they fit the description perfectly). I'm literally the only quiet, awkward, shy one and they don't get how or why I want to be alone a lot. It's so frustrating though, not them not understanding, but me being SHY! IT'S NOT FUN OR "CUTE", it's awful, in fact for me it might even pass as a mental disorder because of how seriously it impacts my life. I can't do a lot of things I want to or should do because half the time I'm to afraid to try! I don't even like ordering food at restaurants because I'm scared I'll say the name of the food wrong and then I'll look stupid. Being shy or antisocial or whatever I have is seriously FRUSTRATING! My mom once said that I was the bravest person she knows, BUT INSIDE I WAS LIKE LOL NOPE, YOU HAVE NO CLUE. On the outside, I might look like I'm totally relaxed and "whatever" about the little things but inside there are millions of thoughts panicking in my brain and I just want to ESCAPE in most situations. Fight or flight yous say? Flight, always flight, fuck fighting, I'm out. I'm the biggest coward ever, I freaking am afraid to answer phone calls cause they come without me preparing and Idk what I'm gonna say to the person or if I might mess up somehow. Sighhhhh and don't even get me started on my stubbornness...
Did this test and found out i was an infp-t, and read all the information and the whole time was just thinking OMG THIS IS ME, to every statement. I'm so text book lol
Infps are awesome. What I most find appealing is the fact we're so in-tuned to ourselves, there's a beauty in that type of authentic self-expression. I might not always favor that type of expression, but I have to admit I feel at home whenever I see another infp. You're all beautiful, try not to be too hard on yourself because with your idealist thinking and deep introspection, you can very well come to dislike yourself or think you don't measure up. Find the good in yourself and become the best you possible :) Also, infps are very common online (from what I've seen) but! irl we are pretty rare. I wish I had a infp friend in real life, but we're all hiding on the internet ;P Anyway, love you infps.
Do any other INFPs have an extreme sense of empathy? The part about listening very carefully to try to understand other people is so accurate for me. I can easily empathize with experiences that I have never even experienced because I can mimic them in my own mind I seem to understand people's true nature and motivations. I feel like I am everybody's therapist; like I understand everyone but no one understands me.
Me as an INFP: enjoy being alone but sometimes feel empty thinking about how people around me actually dont even know who i really am. Have worries about not finding someone that understands my inner self, keep waiting for that "soulmate" to come into my life. Listening to others problems and when its my turn to tell them i just feel that they just pretend that they understand. Keep acting happy so the others feel happy because i dont think people will care if i act like my real self.
Just general speculations based on my experience and tips to non-INFPs. However, these are not always accurate, and it really differs from INFPs. *Anger* I only get truly angry and aggressive very rarely. Before that, I have to be quite annoyed or very pissed about something to even get a spark on the fuse, and my fuse is rather long, as I'd rather sulk about it in the solitary of my room, than to address the perpetrator of my peace (I'd rather not speak to anyone, actually. My conversations are "nails on chalkboard" cringy). I believe INFP's try to avoid conflict, as going against someone would break their values and make us seem manipulative (which is just as horrifying as someone breaking _our_ values). To be honest, I am quite easy to annoy briefly - I have a very set ideal environment I try to create, and when someone disrupts it, I tend to become irritated and vexed. I think experiencing these kinds of emotions is mentally-taxing on us (our small energy storage 😩) and I quickly get over it. Usually within two or three hours, though I am quite worried my source of irksomeness is still there. Insulting me doesn't really do much - yeah, it hurts my feelings and yeah I will react a little, but not to the extent, let's say, if someone insulted my art or friends. Then I would get REALLY mad. Like, no-more-baby-panda-there's-a-freaking-assault-rifle-in-my-face angry. I think people underestimate our anger. We don't get angry over some petty things; we get angry over the disrespect directed to a passion of ours; a valued source. Sometimes we just let it bottle up, and when something tips us over the edge, we fume about the tribulations of the world in general. At least I do. That kind of anger is dangerous. It can make us hold deep grudges that last a long time (INFJ are the same way, so I've heard). We hate conflict, right? So it's rather hard to properly address such intense anger with a positive, non-conflicting tone. If it proceeds further than we can handle, I think we ultimately shut out that person that is ruining our personal little world. *Friendship* I'll be honest; I don't make friends easily, and I'm just cautious of it as well. I'll give a little anecdote to show my friend-making proceedings: "I met "A" at a friend's birthday sleepover. She's also an artist like I am, and a good deal better. She casually wanted to know my art style, so I sketched a person and showed it to her. She looked at it, then brushed it off. Although she didn't say anything, I felt rather hurt by the lack of interest or enthusiasm. Nonetheless, I remained amiable all evening and the next morning (at which the party ended). Then I didn't see "A" for a very long time, and still felt a little grudgeful. This semester, I discovered I was in the same class as her. We didn't talk much, but we had a mutual friend we talked to and shared news with. Then one fateful day (like a Korean drama, haha), our seats were rearranged, and I was seated directly next to her. At first I didn't speak, but then I started to gradually get warmer as we shared jokes, and a common hatred of geometric graphing (yuck). We are now pretty good friends, if I do say so myself. I wouldn't be surprised if "A" is an INFJ, too, also considering her personality, though I don't know her well enough to dig into her private life and assume all kinds of stuff." I've been treated nicely by others, then put aside at the drop of a bat; something of which I am very apprehensive of, considering our oversensitivity to people's less serious way of making 'friends'. Betrayal is one of the top fears of an INFP, so I've heard from multiple websites concerning our traits. It can take months to build up a good relationship, as I think we advance cautiously and carefully, like a person walking on a rope bridge suspended 500 feet in the air over vast green forests (
Me, being an INFP with ADHD/ADD really is a struggle with emotions and unsecurity, and procrastinating is a huuuge problem along with consentration problems.
The comment section feels like a home I’ve never had.
So true
I agree so much
Yes:"
Yes
same sis
"INFPs are usually prone to distinguish sharply between friends and mere aquaintances" this is so true. I don't give out the title of friend easily
1210Nique well To make you feel better ENFPs usually have alot of acquaintances and hardly any friends. We have to see if your even worthy of being a friend before we allow you to be our own. Which sucks because I'm turning 25 and well never had a bestfriend ever. I mean I have my sister's and my husband. But no one that I just click with that isn't related to me.
Yeah, I noticed that when I was at youth activities. People will say something like "I'm your friend, can I have some food?" and I would say no because if I didn't have anything they wouldn't have approached me and I'm not into one-sided relationships where they think I'm their friend or I think we're friends and....we're not.
Agree, I have the classification of friends and "friends", I even unintentionally doctrinize that on my little sister 😂😂
I have a hard time making true friends.. I never feel like i end up having deep enough connections with people to truly call them my friend.

somebody: hi-
infp: im exhausted. i need to retreat in solace and reflect on this

Cão Dogão yes it is :)
oh the little things are wonderful but the big picture sucks balls lmao
No doubt
True. I love the idea of democracy, but at the same time know that some people are easily mislead.
A huge problem I have as an INFP is a strong desire to have deep emotional connections with people ,but I never have the confidence to open up. What's worse is that I expect people to understand me and become incredibly frustrated when they dont-WHEN ITS MY FAULT THEY DONT KNOW ME IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!
I KNOW HOW IT FEELS
I feel the same! It hurts, but not too bad 'cause you kinda deal with it and get used to it. Sometimes it hits me hard when I realize I don't have any true close friends...
Same. I feel like I inadvertently push people away instead of forming a connection with them. Or, I will make friends, but then stop talking to them because I feel awkward when I go and talk to a friend that I haven't spoken to in a while.
@@jagothegamer5750 SAAAAAME
I don't send many sms even though I think of the person as a friend and that not sending sms not change our friendship but people don't feel the same at all. They need to talk often to be friends and I don't.
So when I don't talk too much to them, they are disapointed, but some time I just don't know what to say or I just don't feel like it
@@SonGoku-hv1ke Ya I get that. If it helps, I will sometimes try to start a conversation with a friend I haven't spoken to in a while, it's a little nerve racking at first, but once in conversation it's pretty easy to maintain (I just go with the basic "how are you", "what ya been up to", ect ect and if we have common interests, talk about those too). Otherwise, I'm normally in my room or playing video games and the only human interaction with others outside of my family is when I go to work.
okay but as an INFP does anyone else cry all the time?? or literally take everything to heart?
No, i'm also a so-called "highly sensitive person". I'm a 26-year old male, and I have not cried over anything in around 6 or 7 years (Shedding a tear over beautiful music isn't what I would consider crying really). Before that it was probably another 5-7 years since I cried, if not longer. Not even 2 "cries" per decade! =)
I'm probably borderline on the "INFP/INTP-scale" though. I feel things very very deeply, but things doesn't get solved if you cry about it. If you're a woman, then it's not so strange if you cry a lot. Women are a lot more sensitive and emotional than men are on average. That's one of many things that I love about women though!
@@Diogenes_Lantern. I don't know how I feel about you thinking women are more sensitive/emotional than men. It's kind of weird, but also possibly true because I'm a female and I'm a crybaby. I cry at nearly everything.
I am a sensitive person, but I don't show it to public, even my closest friends they didn't even have a clue if i was crying, it just won't come out when someone is watching me crying idk.... but i get so vulnerable in front of my parents, only them.
Ashley Chiapuzio yes, which is y I also have a bitter & callous side despite my kind, big hearted, sweetness. 😶😶😶

Pete Rock Preemo
When I was married , my wife kept a wedding photo by the bedside, I used to jokingly tell her don't focus on the ( very not so handsome groom) but rather focus on ( the beautiful bride) so you don't have nightmares,she never laughed she thought I was too self-deprecating to the point of being inconfident?

Yea. Every single time

Yeah I agree I was just thinking about that
Guys please tell me I'm not the only one that cries because you feel like nobody knows who you really are and I always feel like my life is just incomplete like I'm waiting for something but I don't know what
I feel the same way as you, but I wish I could cry to let things out
I’ve learned to just go with the flow. The right people will be there when it’s time
You're not alone

Ive cried over that two days ago
mood: When you notice something beautiful in the world and you want to tell everyone about it, but you don’t because you know they won’t see it the same way you do.

ACCURATE
As an INFP I find it funny how some personalities see us as precious. Almost as if they think we are some cute little kid. Where as others see us as mysterious people they want to get to know. On paper it may seem like INFP's are cute, bubbly and innocent people, but we are also known to fiercely fight for our ideals and nothing will stop us from that. Any person who sees this personality as cute are undermining the complexity of our nature. If we do come off as precious, it's probably because we don't like you and we are giving nothing of our real selves to you. We will never be mean, try to make you feel uncomfortable or upset the balance, but the way a INFP will let know they like you, is by being themselves.
👏👏👏
five5x couldn’t agree more!
five5x thank you for writing this!! I'm tired of people just assuming we're these "soft teddy bears." But in fact our personality goes way beyond that. If only people would just take the time to get to know us...
completely agre!
Yes My morals are set in stone
Sometimes I’ll have a conversation with myself in my head, start making faces that go along with the conversation, therefore making myself look like a strange idiot in public. Gotta love being INFP.

You get better at socializing with others after a certain amount of time and become an expert at keeping cordial conversations but you're never able to express yourself as honestly as you'd like to.
@unknown unknown Exactly. But I'll only ever get drunk with close friends.
OtakuEdits THIS
So true! It can be very lonely at times.
This is very relatable. People around me get the impression that I’m this confident speaker and far from shy, because I’m so easy to talk to. Yet others say I don’t talk much. Deep down I am quite shy, and no one notices how sensitive I feel about explaining myself. Its a really weird paradox. It’s as if I can be a confident speaker with other people’s topics, yet with personal shit there’s some kind of force stopping me, I’m that scared of talking about it
Why this is so true
The whole aspect about INFP's using their childlike persona to shield their inner sensitivity is really true though. My family always treat me and see me as a child, but I honestly never tell them what I truly think because I know they'll never understand and would dismiss everything I think about.
People think I'm childish until they talk about politics, philosophy, etc.
Omg so truee
That’s kinda different from me. I am seen as a mature person by my parents. Because the way I acted, maybe I’m just reflecting my inner world?
same, but when i try to speak about deep stuff they wont listen so i dont try anymore
Me too 😢
Best advice for INFPs: meditate. The best decision I ever did in my life, helped me solve a lot of my problems.
@@silentseeker3579 started doing this this week, it helps bring up your inner thoughts in dreamform, i would almost call it dreamthinking. to do it myself i have the lights off, an alarm that goes off in an hour, and im lying on my bed and just think, eyes closed, without falliing asleep, it helps me go through my deepest thoughts and create clarity for my mind.
Exa roc I just noticed I do that toooooo
Do inner demons count as inner thoughts?
I will deffo try meditating more
I meditate everyday without realising it before you I go to sleep, I don't do it on purpose either. My struggle to sleep often time turns into a few hours long sessions of me talking to myself in my head, with my eyes closed and keeping calm.
INFP, here. Also a guy. Not ashamed of it. There's power in demonstrating love, in a world that badly needs it. This is why it bleeds through my music, art, and writing.
Best comment and beautifully explained 🌹
giant cringe
Why would you even mention shame.
VicaMOOR I'm INFP, INTP and PAS/HSP (Persona Altamente Sensible/Highly Sensitive Person).
I'm so imaginative but highly logical and low-emotional.
Also a biological young girl, not-cisgender person and bisexual, Spanish historian of art.
Not ashamed of it.
VicaMOOR awww, that's awesome. I'm an ENFP so I'm different. But I understand you guys so well. My favorite professor is an INFP. we connected on a different level. It was pretty cool. The weird thing is we both live with out letting people know the real us. I live behind a facade and well you guys can be in a huge group of people and think to yourself ,"they don't know the real me".
One of the things I really like a out being INFP is the hability to live in inner world's inside of me, people often think I'm clumsy or easily distracted but I just enjoy living inside of me.
1.5 k likes ? What the heck, thanks guys, keep loving that powerful inner world of ourselves, but try to bring those ideals and ideas to this world, it helped me a lot to grow up to be a more mature infp
Arkman 22 yeah I had to quit my job as a labourer because I'd just get so lost in my head sometimes. Today had it right, focus on where you are, what you are doing.

Same
As an INFP, I find myself stopping randomly to just admire beautiful things like sunsets and flowers. Sometimes, it really annoys the people around me because they think I’m getting distracted. But, it’s the little things that make this life worthwhile.
I always call attention to these things also. I just feel so inspired and it’s so beautiful. Like time freezes and I almost feel like I’m in a movie scene. But then I point it out to others and their like...meh , no big deal. I secretly feel most ppl are shallow
Where are the women like this??? I want to marry one stat!
I'm an INFP! What I like about my type - being alone, yet rarely lonely. An old soul; rich inner thoughts and emotions. Unique tastes in the arts. Being able to spot "kindred spirits" and similarly sniffing fake people a mile away. Only having one or two genuine, close friends.. and hundreds of 'friendly acquaintances'.. *my dream is to live in a remote country cottage - only having wifi, my books, my violin and maybe a dog.*
How do u know me so well!!!
YOU THERE! YES YOU! How were you able to describe my own self so perfectly? Like everything, especially that last part was so spot on (except about the dog, I’m more of a cat person).
I love this comment😭
Wow ! Sameeee
The dream aww
Yes i want it
Spot on!! Except I'd replace dog with cats, and with someone I genuinely love, preferably another Infp as myself, we'd travel, we'd do research together, we cook, clean, spend time, together, we'd taste tea, wine for the rest of our lives, no heartbreaks, no sorrows, just us, and if we fight, we won't leave the other person hanging, because we have each other

I really wonder if this is an INFP thing.
When I was younger almost every time my teachers, or other people with authority, would talk with me about anything serious related to me, or how I felt, I would have this uncontrollable urge to cry. So I just started crying even when I wasn't upset about anything really. Even now I still get this urge when someone is criticizing me. I really don't want to cry and really am open to criticism, but when everyone starts talking about me I just completely shut down.
same
@@nirv2796 Same. Sometimes even if I'm seeking feedback, I can only handle it well if it's constructive and positive. Otherwise, I shut down.
oh my lord! same, this still happens to me. Like if some body would politely criticize me, i would immediately start crying even though everything they say makes perfect sense and their advice could help me in some way, but i still do it. Other times when people are rude to me and i stand up for my self, i can't help but breakdown just seconds later and that gives an impression to others that i'm trying to act like the victim when in reality i literally don't want to cry but my heart starts feeling like a huge bolder all of a sudden. I've even googled countless times as child on how not to be overly sensitive but that never works.
yes yes this is totally me
OMFG YOU THINK YOU CAN HANDLE AND CARRY YOURSELF SO WELL UNTIL YOU COME BEFORE SUCH SITUATION I never could understand...
any depressed, social anxious,lonely INFP here..?
i hate this type of comment, but its true.
im socially anxious and lonely hahaha
You’re not alone. You can get better at socializing though and hey! At least this comment section confirms there are a lot of great INFPs out there. I believe that you’ll find people who get you and that you like and hopefully feel comfortable with because you deserve it :) 💓
We live in our minds and beeter lives than this world we live in so don"t worry
No you are not the only one
Ha try everyone on the internet
I've always loved INFP's. You are just the cutest, quirkiest people ever, so interesting but hard to get to know. The poetic vivid imagery of many INFP's writing can not be matched in my opinion and you are so highly fun to be around.
Almost all girls I ever fell in love with turned out to be INFP's - although due to my incredible shyness I was incapable of working out on these crushes - however for me INFP females remain the most attractive and interesting girls out of all cognitive types. They portrait the pure femininity compared with a richness of deep thinking and melancholic longing that I so absolutely adore. I seem subconsciously drawn to INFP girls as I only after I have already developed the crushes recognized them to also have an INFP cognitive type.
The guys portrait the soft, kind, goodhearted friend every other guy could wish for and not the harsh partygoing shallow pick-up snobs that so tick me off. Male infp's are just the best, the poets of ancient and modern times and the soft idealistic dreamers our cruel world so badly needs today. The examples that not all guys have to be strong muscle and swordfighters, but the individualists with a sense of the finer things in life.
I love you INFP's! Stay who you are and continue to enrich this world in a way that only you can! You are irreplacable and I want you to just stay who you are forever!
Especially because the melancholic dreamy idealistic INFP exists I know there is hope for humanity. So many of you (also people INFP's I know) have proven it more than once. Continue to bless the world with your love, kindness and richness of the mind! Continue to bless us all by merely being here.

When I was younger I used to think my
Personality was so negative:
Guarded, reserved, socially awkward at times and rarely heard
Though as I grow and mature I notice my positive qualities more and how they affect my life:
I appreciate even the most mundane aspects of our natural world like the shape and detail of a flower
I provide a willingness to listen to friends and aqquaintances especially when it’s most needed
I find a positive in most things or situations others don’t necessarily identify
I love my idealism and it’s ability to not be tainted by this sometimes cruel world

I want to apologize to myself for ever being unhappy with being an INFP. I love my naivity, childlike thoughts and rich imagination like nothing else about me. I felt scared when i read that people tend to lose that when they get older.. i love that so much about me. Even if it makes me weaker and more feminine.
At the same time i want to weep for INFP's born in different circumstances than a rich, advanced society full of freedom and possibilities.. who had to endure living in brutal and difficult circumstances. I think an INFP is the one who would suffer from that the most.
imagination's fucking awesome
Luke Skywalker, Faramir
Try Works Of Love by Kierkegaard - you could learn something about trust ar least.. Warning: by today's secular standards, that book could be understood as inhuman...
Remember that being feminine is OK.
Yeah, I would considered myself to be born around a society that aren’t really aware of individual’s differences and people don’t tend to listen to opinions that is not the same as theirs. It is very hard for me to fit in and not being misunderstood as a two-faced when I try to explain to my friend why the person they were arguing had got the point. Or worse, being called for pretending to be innocent in order to be known as a nice person even though I wasn’t pretending, a childish personality is originally in me, it wasn’t made up.
Now that I have moved to many other places, I learnt that there is still some people out there who are even feeling the same thing as what I was feeling, those who have the same thinking as me, and also importantly, those who might not be the same as me but still are supportive and understanding aka anyone else.
It gives me hope is humanity again, the more open-minded and accepting we are, the closer we are gonna find a harmony guys.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk 😛
Has anyone ever tried to be funny or act dumb in front of others so that people feel more comfortable around you? Cause I guess it's just me
This.....
Same
Literally making a fool of myself to lift others confidence or make them feel comfortable being with me bc they can look down on me.
It's so stupid but I used to do that a lot.
Now I'm a bit more careful bc I don't like being looked down at.
INFPs in the comments, ya'll are so cute and precious and you are source of tenderness VERY MUCH NEEDED by this chaos we call the world. Hugs and kisses :)
thank you!
Shivam Bhatt thnx. what is your personality?
Aww thank you so much 🥰
Honestly, whenever we INFP hear something like this it just means so much. Because most of the time we feel misunderstood and feel alien around everyone else sometimes.
It is just very nice to be reminded that we are actually loved and appreciated, thank you so much ☺️💕
Thank you ❤️ i love sll the comments here it made me cry seeing ppl who gets me and who are like me❤️
Thank youuu! You are amazing 🌷
INFP: listen to others problem at all time but having a hard time to tell others about our problems
Tearing up a bit as I scroll through the comments section. I finally feel understood in some capacity, and it’s such a relief to know that I’m not alone in feeling and being this way. Love to all my fellow INFPs🥰!
Grace Poet 😊🥰
Same 💖
Love you too fella, I finally feel like I am home too
ahhhh sameee it made me tear up as well
Spot on video, especially at the part where u said infp's have a sort of hidden personality. I keep my friend circle small, id say about 95% of people who'd consider me their good friend are only acquaintances to me (there's a huge difference). Like I can hang out with someone for 2 months straight and they might think they know me and we're best friends when really they only know what I want them to when I want them to.. I don't trust very easy but when you get it you have it until you break it.
Just saying, it's awesome to see male INFPs on here because a lot of them seem to be females, and it's really cool to see you guys around! I know what you're talking about, and it's so weird how people can think they know the other and they....don't. Like, wouldn't they notice this lack of information and how little they know about their 'friend'?
OH MY GOD. this describes me so well :"). There are like.... several people "claim" me as their bff. But... i dont think so. I think i dont really have what so called bff, okay maybe 1 or 2 (but of course the "do not crossing" lines are still there).
And when i open up to them,its like i bet all my trust, i prefer small companion, and i appreciate loyalties so much. But at the end of the day, they break it.
So yeah... i have friends. But not bestfriend.
SAME
@@miriamjoy1892 There are many male infp's.
Creo que en ese sentido nos contradecimos (infp). Somos muy sentimentales para todo excepto para hacer amigos. Quizás otras personas no necesitan saber todo sobre nosotros para amarnos, simplemente se dejan llevar por lo que sienten. Después de todo, considerar a alguien "amigo" es más una cuestión de sentimiento que de conocimiento.
This is so on point. I feel like crying by how much true this describes me as INFP.
Thanks! So nice to hear. :)
same
yes very awesome job in breaking our personalities down.. though as hearing this it made me worry for my fellow personality type friends..if a evil facist, or evil corporation or governement wanted to rule the world ..we would be the first to go :( as we would never get in line with the dark side, or sell our souls or let anyone be suppressed and harmed just for money reward or personal safety..we really are the greedy and power hungries worst enemies..run INFP!! RUNNNN!!!
I would rather be dead than live a life where only money and corporations ran the country. DEAD!... Hypothetically, of course ^^;
Seriously, but hypothetically. (shh...it works somehow)
So true!!!
To all my fellow INFPs, here is a quick poetry by Pearl Buck that is so beautifully relatable to:
To him...
a touch is a blow,
a sound is a noise,
a misfortune is a tragedy,
a joy is an ecstasy,
a friend is a lover,
a lover is a god,
and failure is death.
Wow this is so spot on
seems fun when you say it but I'm just depressed
AHAHA THIS IS PAINFULLY TRUE 😆FUCK! Sounds to beautiful, peaceful and loving yet I just hate myself and everything about me.
Me too.
$ame (:
@@regangalbraith00 i feel ya T.T
Me: Depressed and horny.
Admitting that you're depressed is already a good start. Now the question is what will you do after admitting that you're depressed? Do you keep it like that? Or do you move forward?
If you'd like to move forward, what do you do to move forward? Do you make a goal? Do you search for better value? Do you make things out of your imagination? Or do you have better answer to move forward?
The thing about differentiating between friends and acquaintances is sooo me. It takes a lot for me to consider someone a friend and to really open up to them, which kinda sucks when trying to make friends. :P
I KNOW, it's as if I can only handle 2 or 3 EXTREMELY close friendships, though I wish I could have 50-5000 of them.
Ikr! I can not just meet someone and say we are friends now, even when I am with a person for like 2-3 months, I still can't call them friends, I used to think there's something wrong with me 😞
Is it just me or do yall always go "I aM cOnfuSIOn" at everything, especially decisions, like u dont know what to do or choose??
YES i am literally so indecisive
I do. It's like my main trait is being confused.
YES TRUE
1. I say that exact line
2. I do know whats right for myself, but I don't want to impose my thoughts on to other people
I consider infps as the perfect companions in life whether as friends, family or lovers. They’re very understanding and forgiving, very creative and fun and weird in all the good ways! They’re big fluffs that I want to protect.
-an infj
I love INfJs, my closest friend is one!
They’re the nicest, most humble, most genuine people on earth. Infjs almost impossible to dislike.
They’re so sweet and loyal and dedicated, it’s frightening-
Infjs are some of my favorite people!! Keep being loyal to yourself and amazing and am sending much happy vibes! ^^
We probably are the ones who contribute the most to this world but do not receive the acknowledgement for it, only because our ways of thinking are too complex. We dont believe that being right is more important. We don't fight for our own beliefs. We bounce beliefs back and forth according to the personality of the person we speak to. We understand that truth is subjective, therefore what an objective truth is to us has no purpose. We fight in this world to make living easier for everyone else. I think that can be very heroic. To all other INFP's out there who feel down because of lost efforts, you're doing a good job. You put up a brave fight.
Thanks for the inspiration
It's true I change and talk differently according to the person I'm talking to but many don't see me beyond how i talked to the person maybe in speaking other language
INFJ here, checking up on my INFPs 💙 love you, you are needed in this world.
Appreciate this
You said in a previous video that INFPs have a wicked sense of humor lol. I absolutely LOVE jokes. Humor is honestly what keeps me going.
I have a very strange sense of humour as an INFP... I won't laugh at an entire comedy show performed by one of the world's finest comedians, but I will laugh at the silliest and most stupid things in everyday life like a child. So this confuses me
Some puns and self deprecating jokes, that's all I need. Although I welcome more.
Hhahaha that's a good one of values.
Deeyennay ikr? Like, memes are what give me the will to live everyday
I wish I was funny , I’m more silly I guess
I wanna live in a small home alone by the beach with my books and a cat.
Let's make an INFP village uwu
I'M WITH YOU! 🦋🕊🌻🌼
I would love !
Tove Jansson lived in an small cottage in an island in Helsinki with her partner and her cat.
She lived a wonderful life, I would say she was an INFP.
I’m a 17 year old INFP and throughout my childhood I was looked at weirdly by other kids at school for not following trends ever and being “too nice” can anyone relate?
I can
Yes being an INFP in school means you're just social approachable enough for the _"other kids"_ to talk to you and realize how _"weird"_ you are to them. Where kids like the INTP's are seen as too nerdy or closer off to even approach.
this comment section makes me feel weird. i've never been felt this relatable before
INFPs truly live in a society
I'm an INFP looking for an INFP friend ówò I'm really socially awkward, too nice sometimes and very shy. And I feel like no one understands my music taste, they just can't hear what I hear.
i'm also a fem INFP, and I enjoy kpop too! don't worry, you guys, I'm sure you'll find compatible pals eventually. I'm lucky enough to have found my platonic soulmate, and she is neither a kpop stan nor a fellow INFP (she's INFJ), and same, I'm really drawn towards performing arts too but it' seems like such a hard thing to make a living out of...
Same I'm also an INFP and I like kpop
also INFP and love k-pop lol :>
Male INFP. Recently moved to new school and the friends I managed to get after 4 years were gone. Have to start anew. Nobody who shares the same interests as me *sigh*
Jpop anyone? : P
Any other infp’s have some sort of deep longing in their heart that they can’t explain?
*I've never felt more understood in my whole life. And it feels amazing knowing there are people like myself out there. Wish to meet at least one of you♥*
Me as an INFP: I just want to stay in my room today and enjoy the bliss of privacy
*friend calls
Friend: I need someone talk to today! My heart is breaking!
Me: *rushes to leave to be with friend
ahh sounds familiar.
me: "just gonna stay on my bed all day and read stories"
*friend texts
friend: "you wanna play video games with me?"
me: *rushes upstairs to my playstation
Yk what else is
Me: ah I feel so down let's meet my friend today
*Calls friend
Friend:*doesn't even pick up the phone
As an INFP, am I the only one who struggles at keeping a daily study routine? It's not that I don't want to study or be lazy, its more like my mind isn't available for that.
i love being infp
Ufuk Ulusoy Ya!
Shasky Jeanne Gayatri i dont unfortunately
True. There are aspects I enjoy (being creative and artistic), but I wish I wasn't so socially inept at everything. I can't even hold a normal conversation with anyone without feeling panicked and awkward.
Actually it isn't, INFJs are, particularly male ones. The rarest type in females is the INTJ.
Better than being an ISFJ without doubt.
I hate being an INFP... I wish I was something else, something more logical and analytical.. OH LOOK AT THAT BIRD!!!
I guess there was a joke in there, but it flew over my head...
Ok, jokes aside, I'm both an INFP and an INTP, (and a highly sensitive person, but who cares about that (the answer is nobody)) and being able to be both logical and emotional is both a blessing and a curse. Decision making can be hell when both heart and mind pull in different directions, but at the same time, I become a force of nature when heart and mind are aligned.
@@NightClawprower I am highly sensitive aswell and I care about what you said. I find it really difficult to not bring the stress I experience at work home with me. When people look at me funny or mean I can't help but think I probably did something wrong or they think badly of me and my work... It gives me alot of anxiety and makes me not pursue the jobs/ work I actually want to do. Failure is my worst fear, even though everyone fails from time to time and trying is already a success but still... I guess I have to learn to get over myself.
(To anyone who reads this: Thanks for coming to my TED talk).
@@LittleWarWolf Remember not to be too hard on yourself. Some people just don't understand us and it makes us feel like there's something wrong when they give funny looks. Sometimes it really is "It's not me, it's you." We're naturally so harsh on ourselves that we don't often see ourselves in a better light. Sometimes it takes someone else to point out our accomplishments in order for us to see them too. Just remember that :) and don't let negative criticisms affect you.
@@NightClawprower I think everything has its values. You just have to determine which one is right or better for you.
Having that ability and knowing how to use it is a blessing and definitely not a curse. Those who don't or can't think for themselves are the "cursed" ones. And without having two different forces that tries to pull each other to the opposite side, there would no longer be balance and that is imo not a good thing. Both your heart and mind are trying to fight for your conscience.
I think I just cared since I just wrote a reply. Perhaps you might have a different idea of what "caring" is (from mine).
Where is the bird?
When I first developed a passion for writing, I thought it was just because I found it fun. But turns out it was so *much* more than that.
As a kid, I not only enjoyed writing fiction, but school essays as well. I quickly realized that writing made me feel *heard* (which was something I had trouble with time and time again).
Through the words I had created and arranged and shaped, I felt understood and connected with the reader in a way i could never feel by simply saying things out loud.
At times, I almost feel as if my thoughts and emotions are disconnected from my body. I’m always thinking and feeling, but I’m so reserved and contained that what actually comes out of my mouth is either only a fraction of what I’m thinking and feeling, or none of it at all.
But with writing, I can express myself as freely and creatively as I want to. I can show my views and interpretations about a topic without being compressed. I can present an entire world of friendship, romance, adventure, beauty, horror, and mystery that I created from pure scratch. I can manipulate words so that others can feel what I feel and almost think what I think.
Wanting to feel “heard” is something I had wanted for a very, very long time. Writing gave me exactly that.
Wow. This is exactly what I found out about myself as well, every single word of it. Well said for real
I'm a very quit male INFP who absolutely loves metal music.
Austin Dotson , me too. Chuck Schuldiner was INFP.
Was he really? wow that's pretty cool. Rip Schuldiner
We need to express our strong emotions. I was told I cherish this heavy music as an outlet by a health pracitioner.
Im a female INFP and i like the most types of music like im able to hear any kind of music it just needs to be melodic and sounds good for my ears, but metal and rap are my favorites.
Austin Dotson and I'm an infp who like almost every type of music
I want to show my mom, my dad, and my grandma this but I feel like they just wouldn't care ;(...
Alexis Plummer yup me too :(
i showed my parents they were like yes thats our daughter through and through wish we had known earlier i agree with that statement too. as mediators are very busy with learning everything about themselves
F*ckin SAME😓
Lmao I did show my mom something like this and she didn’t really care :l
I wish more people around me were INFP’s I often feel alone and misunderstood 99.9% of the time...
Sadly enough infp's like me have one of the if not lowest percentage of the population :(
And when you want a friend like you you would probably not notice that he/she is infp because their behavior is much different at public places then in private so yeah i guess I'll never find/meet a person like me :(
Perry de Zeeuw Exactly! I was thinking the same thing you just never meet a infp and if you do you can't tell because they act so different in public so it's hard to make friends usually
Perry de Zeeuw as an infp I actually enjoy having many personalities surrounding me.. it's interesting to observe them and find our differences and why
Perry de Zeeuw Don't lose hope my friend. That is what infp is about :)
Perry, very true. INFP is the most rare personality trait - which is why we are always so misunderstood.
Cardion Don it's not the rarest type...
I love this
Kizzy Dreams same here!!! 😊😊😊
Quite the combination. Wisdom of the ages and child like trust and innocence.
Me too! I love it, though it can be very painful in the harsh outside world.
Kizzy Dreams lol same
Kizzy Dreams wow dude I got chills just by reading that, most of the time I feel misunderstood for being "childish" and for also enjoying this most people find boring
As Internet is popularised now, the personality test is everywhere. The thing is I get really annoyed when people whom are complete different from me takes the test and claim they're an infp while proclaiming that they're caring and thoughtful rather than saying that they relate to the situation... Just saying about people around me. Thought I could understand better as a person but it seems that having the best personality is the main subject :(
_sometimes it just feels so lonely. No matter how hard you try to open up after recharging for many days you end up locking yourself again_
THIS !! i remember a tiktok video talking about INTJ personality type and literally everyone in the comment section were like oh thats me !! but sure ig
Is there anyone here who is a middle child and INFP at the same time?
Give me thumps up if you are please
Cheers
cheers
Meeeeee
same :)
🙌
Right here mayne
Ok but i had butterflies in my stomach when i found out that i'm not the only one who wants to be alone in her own little house , maybe with a good view and with big Windows having a dog or a cat , her own precious books , know how to play guitar and sing and drown into her thoughts most of the time . love you all ! I thought i was crazy.
Sorry for my eng
So glad I figured out I'm an INFP. I always hated myself for somehow not being able to really fit in, but nowadays I embrace it fully and have never been happier.
ok but is that normal that I cried while I was reading the comments..
it is, i'm crying too rn
I spent the whole 4 and a half minutes of this video reading comments and didn't get a word the narrator said......really heartwarming to see so many relatable comments and knowing what you're feeling is felt by so many other people in the world
omg hi to all my fellow INFPs🥺 deeply misunderstood people
Hahhahah 🤣
ㅠㅠ
My best friend and I are INFPs, we're basically the same person born into different lives:
She's a super creative/unique painter (watercolor) and plays contemporary music on ukelele and is an amazing dancer
I'm a pencil/ink illustrator and play oboe/flute/sax in orchestra/band and write a lot of poetry :>
We get stressed over the same things, have the same mentality, similar dreams, etc.
I couldn't imagine life without her D:
Lucky you
oh my god, people in this comment section are my long lost brothers and sisters. love you all
I love how a lot the comments are madd relatable due to most of us being the same personality lol
Well hi there. This is so me. You don't even know how often people assume I'm immature or dumb, but in reality I'm like...quoting Edgar Allan Poe in my head. :'D
Hey team infp! :)
I hope you're all having fun discovering things about yourselves and others!
One of my favorite things to do in my spare time is creative writing - it's actually something that many infps are known to be gifted at!
I hope you all are persuing your own dreams and are actively engaging in things everyday that make yourself happy.
I know it's easy to feel down on yourself and feel confused about your place in life, but I'd like you all to keep your heads up and see the significance in the little things you do.
The world is a much more beautiful place with you in it!
As an INFP, I do have a lot amount of layers around me and it's like peeling an onion for the others. It takes a lot of time for me to be able to reveal myself to another person. We do build a hell of a fortress around ourselves. But I know by doing that, it is an impossible task for our circle to really understand us. I was lucky to have people who stood by and had the patience to let me remove my shell little by little. It is not easy for them because usually I can read them very easily and they are comfortable to share their inner thoughts and sufferings with me. And when i don't do the same, they feel like I don't trust them.
Infp: psychology, anthropology, astronomy, astrology, string theory, dystopias, alternative rock/ lo-fi music, poetry.
Oh yeah, and all of us had an emo phase at one point.
Don’t forget the punk or indie stuff. crywank and front bottoms are like the music version of this comment section
As an infp, especially a male one, I would often feel very alone in the way I view the world. This video describes who I am better than anyone in my life that has ever described me. On one hand being this way makes me feel isolated, but on there other hand I see so much beauty in the mundane that I often pity those who don't see the world the way I do.
Wow this is amazing, especially the part about innocence because that's one of the best qualities to have and I always look for it in others as I recognize that I never really lost my innocence. I am actually stunned at how accurate this is
I love how zoned out soooo quickly into the video...I usually daydream when im really bored or - in this case - really intrigued. Hahah, such an infp. Lovely video!
Alyssa wow I never noticed that but I do zone out when I'm really intrigued by something ! Lol
I completely zoned out too and kept having to rewind cuz I missed stuff
Same!!! I even was like “Wait! Why am I not paying attention? This is interesting!”
This is so me
As an INFP, my mind's always out of this world..
I also believe that everything has it ends, and it helped me so much since I'm an overthinker and always struggling coz despite being an idealistic person, I have no such dreams as others.
I am capable of doing anything, but can't master one single thing. I am easily swayed by other thing and so on. It is like, one day I'm being obsessed with digital art, and then the next day I have no will to do some of it again.
Not gonna lie ,at first i thought I'm kinda doomed. I thought I have some mental issue or something coz I hate how my mind works.
Imagine breathing existential crisis .. It is hard AF. That's why... *virtual hug for my fellow infps* happy I found someone like me through this
I have this obsession with analyzing everything and lately it’s just gotten worse. I am always thinking about my own and others’ psychology and the reasons behind everyone’s actions. I love giving advice and helping people, but lately I’ve been feeling like my friends’ therapist and it has been pretty draining. All of this analyzing makes it impossible to make the simplest of decisions, like what food to order or what to wear ...
i like being an INFP and usually dreaming but tbh i get a bit annoyed sometimes because i wish to be slightly more down to earth and stop getting too easily distracted, which triggers a lot of thoughts relating to how distracted i am and this bugs me. anyone else experiencing the same thing?
Yes, but it our way of "relaxing our minds." I think....
This is why I learn to take note while I day-dream so I can catch up what I miss.
I hope this comment ease your minds! :D
@@darktinylight3949 thank you:) yeah same
I'm always in conflict with myself.
pandas are so cute
yeeeees
Baby pandas are even cuter. 😊
恵美子 H-San yeah but they are still pandas
i have a plush panda.. he lives on my bed 😇
I used to ! I’ve gained so much confidence believe in yourself you are beautiful inside and out you may not see it but others do ☺️
Everyone in my family is an extrovert except for two people (my dad and my brother, who are both ambiverts, which I actually wasn't sure existed until I realized that they fit the description perfectly).
I'm literally the only quiet, awkward, shy one and they don't get how or why I want to be alone a lot. It's so frustrating though, not them not understanding, but me being SHY! IT'S NOT FUN OR "CUTE", it's awful, in fact for me it might even pass as a mental disorder because of how seriously it impacts my life.
I can't do a lot of things I want to or should do because half the time I'm to afraid to try! I don't even like ordering food at restaurants because I'm scared I'll say the name of the food wrong and then I'll look stupid.
Being shy or antisocial or whatever I have is seriously FRUSTRATING!
My mom once said that I was the bravest person she knows, BUT INSIDE I WAS LIKE LOL NOPE, YOU HAVE NO CLUE. On the outside, I might look like I'm totally relaxed and "whatever" about the little things but inside there are millions of thoughts panicking in my brain and I just want to ESCAPE in most situations. Fight or flight yous say? Flight, always flight, fuck fighting, I'm out.
I'm the biggest coward ever, I freaking am afraid to answer phone calls cause they come without me preparing and Idk what I'm gonna say to the person or if I might mess up somehow.
Sighhhhh and don't even get me started on my stubbornness...
um... i know im a year late lol but that's not an infp trait. that's anxiety
When I was younger my daydreaming was so bad, I used to miss my school bus back to home, just cause I started daydreaming while waiting for the bus🤷♀
So do all INFPs often go through existential crisis or is it just me?? Idk why though but I need to keep redefining myself
You are not alone....
How do you define yourself? I define myself as "balance." I am not kind or evil, just neutral.
best description of an mbti type i have ever watched. direct and straight to the point. other videos are such bullshit you cant understand anything.
Smret Burhan 😂
Me as an INFP listening to everyone's problems, and when someone asks what about you casually making up a joke to switch the topic
Me ? Everything's fine, like everyday !
After reading the comments of this video, i feel like i finally found home.
Did this test and found out i was an infp-t, and read all the information and the whole time was just thinking OMG THIS IS ME, to every statement. I'm so text book lol
Same I am an infp-t and I’ve never felt so understood
Infps are awesome. What I most find appealing is the fact we're so in-tuned to ourselves, there's a beauty in that type of authentic self-expression. I might not always favor that type of expression, but I have to admit I feel at home whenever I see another infp. You're all beautiful, try not to be too hard on yourself because with your idealist thinking and deep introspection, you can very well come to dislike yourself or think you don't measure up. Find the good in yourself and become the best you possible :)
Also, infps are very common online (from what I've seen) but! irl we are pretty rare. I wish I had a infp friend in real life, but we're all hiding on the internet ;P Anyway, love you infps.
Do any other INFPs have an extreme sense of empathy?
The part about listening very carefully to try to understand other people is so accurate for me. I can easily empathize with experiences that I have never even experienced because I can mimic them in my own mind I seem to understand people's true nature and motivations. I feel like I am everybody's therapist; like I understand everyone but no one understands me.
I sure do.. You need too say what you feel a bit more.. Easy to say, right? haha
Thank you for this! The inspiration I needed today as an INFP. :)
Me as an INFP: enjoy being alone but sometimes feel empty thinking about how people around me actually dont even know who i really am. Have worries about not finding someone that understands my inner self, keep waiting for that "soulmate" to come into my life. Listening to others problems and when its my turn to tell them i just feel that they just pretend that they understand. Keep acting happy so the others feel happy because i dont think people will care if i act like my real self.
Just general speculations based on my experience and tips to non-INFPs. However, these are not always accurate, and it really differs from INFPs.
*Anger*
I only get truly angry and aggressive very rarely. Before that, I have to be quite annoyed or very pissed about something to even get a spark on the fuse, and my fuse is rather long, as I'd rather sulk about it in the solitary of my room, than to address the perpetrator of my peace (I'd rather not speak to anyone, actually. My conversations are "nails on chalkboard" cringy). I believe INFP's try to avoid conflict, as going against someone would break their values and make us seem manipulative (which is just as horrifying as someone breaking _our_ values).
To be honest, I am quite easy to annoy briefly - I have a very set ideal environment I try to create, and when someone disrupts it, I tend to become irritated and vexed. I think experiencing these kinds of emotions is mentally-taxing on us (our small energy storage 😩) and I quickly get over it. Usually within two or three hours, though I am quite worried my source of irksomeness is still there.
Insulting me doesn't really do much - yeah, it hurts my feelings and yeah I will react a little, but not to the extent, let's say, if someone insulted my art or friends. Then I would get REALLY mad. Like, no-more-baby-panda-there's-a-freaking-assault-rifle-in-my-face angry.
I think people underestimate our anger. We don't get angry over some petty things; we get angry over the disrespect directed to a passion of ours; a valued source. Sometimes we just let it bottle up, and when something tips us over the edge, we fume about the tribulations of the world in general. At least I do. That kind of anger is dangerous. It can make us hold deep grudges that last a long time (INFJ are the same way, so I've heard).
We hate conflict, right? So it's rather hard to properly address such intense anger with a positive, non-conflicting tone. If it proceeds further than we can handle, I think we ultimately shut out that person that is ruining our personal little world.
*Friendship*
I'll be honest; I don't make friends easily, and I'm just cautious of it as well.
I'll give a little anecdote to show my friend-making proceedings:
"I met "A" at a friend's birthday sleepover. She's also an artist like I am, and a good deal better. She casually wanted to know my art style, so I sketched a person and showed it to her. She looked at it, then brushed it off. Although she didn't say anything, I felt rather hurt by the lack of interest or enthusiasm. Nonetheless, I remained amiable all evening and the next morning (at which the party ended). Then I didn't see "A" for a very long time, and still felt a little grudgeful. This semester, I discovered I was in the same class as her. We didn't talk much, but we had a mutual friend we talked to and shared news with. Then one fateful day (like a Korean drama, haha), our seats were rearranged, and I was seated directly next to her. At first I didn't speak, but then I started to gradually get warmer as we shared jokes, and a common hatred of geometric graphing (yuck). We are now pretty good friends, if I do say so myself. I wouldn't be surprised if "A" is an INFJ, too, also considering her personality, though I don't know her well enough to dig into her private life and assume all kinds of stuff."
I've been treated nicely by others, then put aside at the drop of a bat; something of which I am very apprehensive of, considering our oversensitivity to people's less serious way of making 'friends'. Betrayal is one of the top fears of an INFP, so I've heard from multiple websites concerning our traits. It can take months to build up a good relationship, as I think we advance cautiously and carefully, like a person walking on a rope bridge suspended 500 feet in the air over vast green forests (

D.Talpha ... I don't know if you're mocking me or not...
Oh, sorry for the misconception. It was actually a compliment because idk what else to say.
D.Talpha 😅 Sorry. (Another INFP trait)... I read too deeply into it...
ik ik that was my fault... and yes, us INFP are vulnerable to it.
Me, being an INFP with ADHD/ADD really is a struggle with emotions and unsecurity, and procrastinating is a huuuge problem along with consentration problems.
I am even tearing up reading some of the comments, just feeling understood.
