I always find myself obsessing over why people do the things they do. I always try to give them the benefit of the doubt but once I found out they are toxic, I have no problem NEVER speaking to them again. It sounds rude but this is just how I am. I refuse to get fooled by covert demons.
I get you man. No time to waste on the fakes. But for some reason, I can only do it to people who are directly toxic. It takes me forever to convince myself that someone is toxic if they do it discreetly
Bruh..... What about feeling like crap after? WHEN they consistently tell you your the problem? Its projection but why? Lol but once im gone im waaaaaaaay gone. It takes me a second to bounce and build walls up for strangers. Romantically..... Catastrophically everytime ignoring the redflags cuz i decided to let them be "human".
Our biggest gift as INFJs = being able to connect "puzzle pieces" that don't seem to connect at all. I've only just realized, maybe in the last 5 years, that not everyone is able to do this. You did a great job of connecting the pieces in this video. Thank you, and, as always, keep up the great work!
" over analyze things until we destroy ourselves". So painfully true....and why I want a new brain sometimes😭😭😭 Edited: Do you have tips on how not to do that, or how to snap out of it???
That's that horrible Ni-Ti loop. I find that getting answers, and engaging that Fe as often as possible does the trick. Anything meditative - a hobby like cooking or playing music - can often pull you into a space where you are depending less on all of that over thinking and more on being in a moment.
I find creatively manifesting what I think about helps. I creat pictures stories gives me a realise. It like my thoughts creates energy that I need to engage with and therefore release. This energy engages my playful side. Therefore, it think of it as different sides of me trying to communicate... like Me Myself and I. They want their perspective to have time in the forefront or even to cooperate to bring forth possibilities😊😍
I find that when I'm overthinking to the extreme, it helps me most to do the opposite......physical exercise. Hiking, biking, dancing, singing, anything to bring me present to the moment and restore balance.
I had to play music at night to drown out all the thoughts. Cuz I have all the thoughts. Buuuuttt...it has to be a different language like Gregorian chant not instrumental...you can have the thoughts if there are no words.
Depression crippled me at work yesterday so I wrote a song about what I was feeling and did not stop until I was done. I made myself late for an appointment in the process but I no longer felt crushed by it. Granted, I was still depressed for the remainder of the day but I had more control over myself than depression had over me at the onset.
Overflowing with emotion.. I have felt disconnected my whole life from the world the more I learn the more grounded I am becoming. My tears are no longer only purposed for pain they fall with reassurance and happiness knowing I've not been an alien my whole life 👽🦄🥀.. 😜😁
I named him: Chesapeake. As I watched I felt you are lucky that Se is your 4th function. Its 8th for me. I feel you are perhaps one of the most developed of the INFJs I've seen online. Apparently very mature personalities are hard to type. I find you to be very well rounded and talented on several fronts.
I have to say 99% of the day I’m literally in my own world my thoughts are my world essentially. And I’m pursuing goals that are way above me like no college education just a high school diploma some good ideas and self education. And a feeling heart. Your vision is so real in your mind but actually making it manifest being the tool of creation is so difficult because you’d see everything you need to do you just don’t know how to do it. It’s like I don’t know how to ask for help, or I don’t know what type of help I actually need
I understand that, if it's any help, try to talk to people doing the things you want to do, surround yourself with those who are okay giving you a little mentorship. Then set to learning. If you have a desire to be a student, there is so much you can learn, but it will take time to get there. You can do it!
Jacob Sawall WOW!!! It’s like you’re speaking for me. Stop sweating this. Time will help you understand that this is a gift to help you cope with the negativity around you. I relate, understand and use this gift when the outside world is too hard.Inside your head all is well and safe. This is my coping mechanism. A gift I am grateful for. You will be too. We’re all dreamers. Dreaming big is a foundation for you to do big things.much luck!!!
Ode to the 2%. The fact that we “see people” yet our sensing tells us to stay kind & forgiving. Always feeling the need to help & create harmony among others. But the internal intuition is there to protect us & set off the 🚨 whenever needed. Just us the INFJs trying to make the 🌎 a better place.
David, I needed this video very much. I have always been very happy to be an INFJ. I feel very comfortable being the cheerleader, the appreciative audience, the one who can shine the light on things that many people don't even notice. However, a few months ago on his birthday, my husband went into the kitchen and I didn't hear him so, I went in after him. I found him on his knees and he couldn't stand up. I laid him on the kitchen floor and I said, I love you. I didn't know what was happening. His eyes were huge and blue and he mouthed, I love... and, he died. My whole world ended in a second without warning. For some reason, my family cannot take strong emotion so, from that day forward I have been left alone to mourn by myself. To tell you the truth, after two months of being in shock, I went where I feel the safest. I went into my mind. All my life, I was the one that was watching everyone so that I could make sure no one was sad and I could alarm everyone if there was danger. If someone was eating at the table and they picked up their glass and noticed it was empty and set it back down, I noticed. I knew they were thirsty so, I got up and got them something. No one had to ask me for something they needed most of the time. Now, I am an INFJ and an empath who is all alone. My healing is so slow. The most painful part is not having my husband to love. I have never been materialistic but, the things that I always want are the things that money cannot buy. My husband and I had spent 23 years together talking and sharing and having adventures. I only needed someone to feel safe enough to go out into the world and then everything fell into place. What a gift to be loved by someone exactly as you are and to love them back the same way. And yet, we both wanted to be better people for each other. I've only been starting to cry for the last 2 weeks. I am creating my reality one second at a time. The house is silent now because I canceled the cable and I don't miss it. I miss the soul of my husband that I could feel from anywhere in this house. The stillness was eating me up. My question is how does an INFJ who is housebound and never learned to drive ever going to feel Joy again? I'll let you know one day if I ever figure it out. I lost the most precious gift of knowing and being known. God bless you and your monster. Sincerely, Carly 💜
Carly ... I'm in tears. I'm so sorry for your loss, and for all of the complex emotions, thoughts, feelings, and memories that happen as a result. Please know that I feel you right now and my heart goes out to you. Truly. I don't know that there's any piece of advice that I could possibly give you that would help. I can only speak from the experience of losing my brother suddenly last year. Do the things that would bring HIM joy to know that you are doing, and even though his presence may not be there, it does feel a little bit like he's there with you during those things. He would want you happy. My brother wanted me to succeed, wanted me to do the things I felt were important, even if the ideas were grand and seemingly ridiculous. Doing those things now and having that purpose to find some joy while being unable to tell him about it really do keep me going because I can imagine how crazy he'd react if I could talk to him on the phone. Small things. Small things outside, on a walk, all the little things you can notice as joyous and full of life. I wish I had a better answer, I truly do. Sending you ALL the love my sweet INFJ friend.
@@DavidBadurina David, your answer was beautiful. You know how much us INFJs crave intimacy with people that understand us. Your brother surely knows what you are doing and he is right there cheering you on. My mark taught me everything I needed to know about living after being abused by a narcissist for years. The Narcissist told me I was too ugly to go outside and he used me up as I gave him all the love and power and strength I had in me. Mark was there when I ordered my first cup of coffee shaking at 34 years old. He said I was so beautiful it took his breath away. He told me I was plenty good enough. It took me years to believe him. I will not forget what he told me. I pray that God gives me the opportunity to help someone in my life because to me giving is receiving. Your unique ability to communicate not only the subject but the deep feelings behind it are an awesome gift. Please, you are needed at this time to help us to stay together and not go off into dark corners all alone to lick wounds that will never heal. Everything brought into the light will heal but sometimes it takes a friend or an acquaintance just to witness your journey. I will be watching yours. Sincerely, Carly
Yes exactly! Often when I have a problem I need to solve; I wait a few days and my Ni just kinda ties things together and bam! I suddenly know what I have to do. There's a lot of 'aha' moments. And then Ti is there to make a concrete plan for it. And great message at the end. It amazes me when I have an image in my mind and I manage to replicate it in a drawing and then it's there for everyone to see.
Thanks for the reminder about our creativity, i've been a bit swamped and stressed and have not given myself enough creative time. Creativity is important to me because it brings so much energy and power, and like you said, connects all the pieces into the present moment.
Thanks David. 😊 I genuinely teared up when you said, " Your brain is incredible..." 😥😭 Thank you! For me...if I cannot envision a task or project from beginning to end, it is usually scrapped before I start. Oh and, let's call her BOB!🥰
Proof off how our words and actions will continue to impact those far beyond we can understand. Proof even more that we all need to be intentional with what we put out into the world , and be accountable to ourselves for what that intention is. A year later and your gift blessed another in kind. Thank you for encouraging me
This idea and real "product" in the end is great! You are a genius and I have so much motivation now to use my Se to make so many ideas I have reality but it's 2am and I have to sleep.
My man. I am 19 years old and just find out since a few days that i am an infj. You really really inspired. This video really got my mindset changed. Much love and respect.
Thank you. Well put. I am an INFJ special needs teacher, teaching online this year. Your process is exact in the way I think of a unit to create (slides), break it down into what my students can understand, create multi level material, and present it to them. Bang on
4 года назад+14
Hi, I'm an ISFJ, trying to understand the way Ni is shaping INFJ's world and your videos are super helpful for me. Thank you very much for your work!
Great vid. Picking a name is so far out in my thoughts that I don’t have the wackiest suggestion to put out there. Too many things in the next few days including a sleepover on a US battleship with my Son and his Cub Scout Pack. Yes... 24 hrs till we have to get in the car to make the drive. Only 24 more hours, yes! Once we hit the road I will be fine, but damn It’s hard to even get work things in my thought process today. Glad I took time to watch this one. It’s a perfect time for it. Only saw a couple suggestions but I do like “Chesapeake” it’s cute, and being from Jersey “GUI-Dough”
David Badurina haha yeah. 145. I thought I picked up a sense of Jersey in you. But really, thanks for putting out these videos. They really help a lot of people. If I could get the chance to comment more and offer suggestions it would be exactly this topic, our Thought process.
Such a charming and inspirational video. As an INFJ-T, I'm often very trapped in an Fe/Se loop where I feel very afraid and experience intense performance anxiety when it comes time to 'producing' anything. I really appreciate how you presented our function stack in such a positive way: it was a much needed reminder that our function stack *does* exist for a useful purpose, and isn't just an ebil universe conspiracy designed to destroy us and make us crazy, which is how it feels sometimes. Thank you for always serving us integrated, mature INFJ energy. Gave me all the warm fuzzies. Oh and....Ulrich von Underbiteson, First of His Name.
Amanda! Ulrich von Underbiteson, First of His Name! You are my hero! Haha. And thank you so much! I really wanted to capture that exact spirit, just a friendly stroll through the cognitive functions with a playful example. I'm SO glad it resonated in that way! We all need a little more positivity, because it can be rough out there! As always, I appreciate you!
I'm very late lol, but I have been questioning if I'm really an INTP with a Ti dom and decided to watch this video, you articulated your thoughts so well and helped me narrow out that I am not an INFJ, or any type with an Fe in the top 2 functions. Thank you for this video, it was very interesting
I would name him Algernon. I just noticed this was posted in 2020 so you have probably chosen a name already. :) In any case, I stumbled upon your channel and have quickly figured out my infj-ness. Your videos are wonderful; thank you for creating them and for your kindness as you share with us. Many blessings to you!
A really clear explanation of how we think. We are so unaware of how we think and specially why. A good name for the monster could be "Carmelo", he seems so harmless. Great video.
Thank you!! I'm an INFJ and this helped me realise literally the whole thought process behind my current art project. Wowa. It all started with a 'vision' of an orange blob (funny I know) and has now evovled into a socially engaged art project encouraging people to play, as it releases them into a place of joy 😄 So nice to be reminded that we have an amazing brain, as I definitely don't think that most of the time!
This is so great, Catherine! I love when something resonates with someone so strongly! That sounds like a great project, nicely done! I appreciate you!
Hi David, i'm this guy in France resonating with your video (: My freshly maturing Ni(Ne) is already using it, by stopping overplanning chores i have to do today. Now on i'll try to play around in my mind with a piece of playdo, in stressful situations, to see if that helps explaining my ideas. Thanks for sharing Mr. Green (not good, nor bad, until you decide what purpose he'll deserve). Hope that makes sense to you. Thanks for your refreshing content ! Have a nice day ! Joël
Bonjour Joël! Merci d'avoir regardé cette vidéo! It's so great that you're trying to engage that intuition by keeping a lid on getting overwhelmed. This is critical, I think! So glad you're hanging out with me here and happy you liked the video! Je t'apprécie!
BOB SCHNITZER 😊 Also... As an INFJ who struggles sometimes with that bridge between my ideas and their reach in the actual real world, thank you so much, really 💖
Wow great 😀👌 I love music, play a little bit guitar. And I wrote some songs... So there came a melody with only few word's in my mind, I took a peace of paper and wrote it there. Then I took my guitar and began playing and thought other words and how the song continued. And now I have wrote yes three songs its not a thing of every day or week because it came by deep inspiration. One of the songs, the first, I translate it also in German language ☺️. It's true my mind works, if i want I can create almost every thing I think. Thank you for this fantastic video. 👏
First name that came to mind is Frank! Not sure why but there it is. You nailed it bro!! I was actually nervous to watch this because I had doubts I wouldn't be this mental process type. I feel like this is a type that can really help people and I didn't want to see that I didn't have that. I love helping people and love that you described it perfectly, that is me also. I dont have many people that can relate to this so thank you for being that outlet, it means the world! Keep it up, buttercup.
I imagine the reason both you and Kim Harrison named him Frank may be subconscious due to Frank James being a popular RUclipsr and fellow INFJ, and likely on one of the suggested videos to the right.
I've had a bamboo plant named Frank for the last 10 years (it's the only plant I've ever managed to keep alive for more than a few months), so I certainly wouldn't want Bamboo Frank to get confused! :-) I'll be over here doing my thing! Thank you so much for watching, I appreciate you!
"His name is George and you should hold him and love him and play with him everyday." Ok that was my weird flashback moment. You and George did a very good job of explaining how all the functions work together. I love when I wake up in the morning with all the puzzle pieces pulled together!
INFJ-T, recently discovered what I am. :D I wasn't planning to write anything under this video, but this resonates with something that I have experienced. I am a writer, too. When I finished my first novel and it got published, I held the paper copy in my hands - this is exactly what I felt. That is a story and characters that existed in my head and now - there is the physical manifestation of them in real life! People will read it, get influenced by it, live with those fictional people, who have emotions and flows and go through difficult moments, just as real people. Everyone is going to take a lesson from the story that is relevant for their life! This is so cool! All of this initially was created in my own mind - just as this green monster started its existence in a dream! :)
Bangalee. Not sure if I'm spelling that correctly, but he was a little monster in a story I used to get read to me as a child. This was a great video for anyone who happens to be just learning typology, but also good reminder for the rest of us that our brains truly are amazing!
Bangalee sounds adorable! And thank you so much! I really try to hone in on helping both of those crowds, it's nice to have that recognized! I appreciate you!
Always been strong in the top three stack items, and weak in the 4th (se).....but over the last few years i kind of discovered what it means to be in the moment and have found it enlightening . Practising it more and more .
This is great, Mark! All about some balance just to make sure you're getting everything you need. Too much Se can get us overwhelmed (thus our tendency toward HSP it seems), but just the right amount can balance us out bigtime!
David Badurina yes true...... I have noticed that being in the moment for too long leaves me feeling a little robbed......like I need to escape or retreat back to logic and planning and deep thought to feel sane again. But it is still enlightening at times
Thank you for the explanation! Really helped me out especially because I'm still in the journey of understanding what INFJ actually means. Love the sense of humor by the way :-)
As an ISFP that has frequent visions I am currently trying to manifest them as artwork into a book that may be able to help others. It seems at times I have tendencies toward an INFJ thinking process. When you mentioned," what are some of your hang ups?".....I would have to say that I have a tendency to need the artwork to be in "perfect presentation mode" rather than just allowing myself the grace to just share it in the form of some rougher sketches. I overthink my pieces/artwork to the point that I paralyze myself to take action and don't complete them.
I had heard of a technique that's like a "30 day being terrible challenge" Take a hobby that you are not great at, do it for 30 days, and allow yourself to be terrible but still try. It's a way to get yourself to forgive some of those imperfections. I may try it with watercolor painting some time. :-)
@@DavidBadurina I love this suggestion! There are so many things I could be potentially horrible at! (I'm laughing right now) I'm thinking of automotive projects,or math related things like soduko, or weight loss(wait that's not a hobby!). I'm going to start off small and get myself a soduko book(hope I spelled the word correctly). I'll try my best not to self depricate! Here goes my adventure onto the road of imperfection!....and thank you for your awesome idea from a truly beautiful mind. I'll probably have to sing the song "try a little tenderness" to myself as I go.
I just recently found out about MBTI and I've tried many online tests. I found out that tests aren't enough and that you should know about these cognitive function stacks to understand better. I read so many articles and I have also watched videos on youtube with a duration of almost an hour. To be perfecly honest, I didn't seem to clearly understand anything at all. I have always thought that maybe I need a specific happening or example which I could relate with in order to further understand the functions and this video is a very great help. This is just what I am looking for, plus it's hardly even half an hour. This is great, sir. Thank you!
I have a name for your impressive monster...... Ian Nicholas Francis Joseph...... Or i guess you could call him "The INFJ Monster" for short I had a dream yesterday that i was holding a dog named Dusty, and it crapped all over the carpet of the bedroom i was staying in whilst on holiday..... I really don't think there is a pertinent message i can apply to this dream 🐶 + 💩 = 😡 You should make more monsters with Play dough.... That one is so cool 😎 When you first started doing videos, you were concerned about how many dislikes you were getting. Now look at how well you are doing. Not one dislike up until this point, plus plenty of likes and great feedback. Well done David. That's what happens when you stay true to yourself. Keep up the good work INFJ friend. 🙂
Well, at least Dusty gave you an interesting dream? Thank you! I like play-doh monsters. I think we need to spend more time tinkering like we did when we were younger. it's good for your brain. And thank you for the compliment. I need that kind of reminder, my friend. The journey can be nice to sit back and look at once in awhile! As always, I appreciate you!
Hello, David! I am a INFP and my other half is an INFJ like yourself. Awesome video, a dear soul sister of mine who is also INFJ shared your video with me and it instantly made me smile even before starting to view it. I am now a new subscriber and I Love to learn about every cognitive function and INFJ is my fav one to learn about so thank you for being a RUclipsr and helping me and those out that really are fascinated. I Love how you expressed you are a little awkward, so kudos to that so am I...the name that came forward for me is Russel or Tombias. :)
Love the LED lighting! Solid breakdown and demonstration of cognitive functions - you have a great way of conveying information in a relatable fashion!
Call it Captain Kerf. This video is pretty spot on. I'm in a scenario where I'm trying to realize a goal (make a game to tell a heartfelt story that people enjoy), but I know the SE requirements are massive (learning to make quality art assets en mass). I've been making deliberate efforts to improve my art over the years, and have had some measurable progress. Still, I just can't help but worry that my deficient SE is making this much harder, and mechanically rendering my ideas is somewhat draining. Is it more difficult for an INFJ to be a skilled artist than other types? I heard that stronger SE helps people notice and render details more effectively.
Captain Kerf is a great suggestion! And this is a REALLY thought-provoking comment! I'm not sure if I can really add anything to it. I think as art is expression that perhaps fine detail isn't something that's as natural as pure in-the-moment expression. Whenever I found that I wanted to accomplish something similarly, I'd work with someone else on it. I have a good INTJ friend who is fantastic at detail and direction and he and I worked so very well together. I'd concentrate on the interpersonal relationships and broad vision, he could make it happen. Perhaps all you need is another set of eyes! Best of luck to you, I appreciate you!
I think that Se in the 4th position doesn't mean you have to be less skilled in artistic work than Se - dominants. I think they just have an easier time to be good at several Se - related disciplines cause they have more energy for being in the here and now with all their senses. It's just this perfectionism getting in our way. Our visions are so wonderful - reality just can't measure up. We have to accept that. Art is never all about Se and aesthetics. It's also about seeing things and sending a message out there. And it's about emotions and sharing something with others. There's a lot to contribute for Ni and Fe. 🙃 I'm a musician and I might be light-years away from being a guitar hero. I may never be able to sing the Queen of the night. But when people hear me, they fall silent and listen. Whenever there's something in the emotions and messages I express that resonates with them. We don't need to be perfect. We just need to be what we are.
For some reason I wanna name him Hungry Joey. 😂 I think the saying “Make sure to stop and smell the roses” really applies to INFJ types to bring us into the present. My struggle with bringing ideas to life is just getting started. Once I’ve started I have made up my mind and then it’s almost an obsession to finish. I wish you all the best in your book!
I love the way you talking and expressing thoughts, cause I’m laughing a lot. Why? Cause it’s about me as well. And it’s so great to feel it, it’s like someone is reading your mind on the best way at all😻
@@DavidBadurina The problem is that there is an "out there" to which we can't and do'nt want to belong: the price to pay for this gift can be very high, but of course we have no choice, unless we betray ourselves P.S.I know... my english is not the best...(INFJ perfectionism!). I'm italian (Florence).
It's Mr. Henri Snagglepants. Yep. My hangup is demanding (or even expecting) perfection before even starting anything. That pretty much trips up anything you want to do.
His name is jubbin lol. Thank you for this video that was so on point to what I needed to hear right now. And just wanted to thank you because a while back I mentioned I make art and was infjing hard on putting my stuff out there and you said you wanted to see I rode that wave of excitement and I have now put 26 or so of my paintings into the world. It was scary and I now love it and because I got so excited that someone I look up to might see my art. Now I'm just excited all the time and not scared thank you.
I love when the puzzles pieces/connect the dots come to fruition. I've had quite the revelation about Akashic records recently. I blew my own mind when it happened. I love being an INFJ, but sometimes I hate it lol, it takes a lot of work to fit everything together. But damn it's amazing when it does, and I have clarity.
Hello! Im writing a book as well, with an INFJ main caracter. Your video was helpfull to undestand her. Thank You! BTW, Your little troll is cute. Trollo shoud be its name.
Hectic week, late night RUclipss, relaxing voice, play doh, cute monsters=fallen asleep twice. This video is my new drug. Lol! It’s a very fascinating and educational video! I’m staying awake today! Thank you for being you! (Kinda wanna eat that wee monstie) Yay! I’m awake and, just like me, I know you appreciate ridiculously long names, so my suggestion for your friend is: Sir Figmint Smooshface Stinkypants der Klöppel the third. (I mean, after all, he was once a figment of your imagination and yer boi has quite a tongue on him!)
HAha wait a second ... I'm not sure if it's a GOOD thing that my video is putting people to sleep! ;-) Thank you though, I appreciate it so much. Maybe a little ASMR quality going on here. And OMG THAT NAME. Kat ... this is brilliant. I'm absolutely tickled that you remember my fondness for long and ridiculous names and put that much thought into the guy. You're the best!
David Badurina haha it honestly is a compliment that your video is very relaxing to me! It’s probably the smell of the play doh. Wait? ;) And it’s super easy to remember the affinity for wordy and descriptive names when each of my pets literally has a paragraph for a name, each ending with an *aka*. Kindred spirits and all. 👻 Have a lovely day, sir!
I'm going to start carrying theses items in my bag. That way, when someone asks again, "How are feeling Ang?", I can just grab my purse, hand'um the Doh and, thank them for asking.
If nothing else, it's a great way to end a conversation. Someone talking to you, just take out play doh and a spoon and be like, "If you'll excuse me," then walk away. :-)
Once I was messaging with a girl who always let the message as "delivered" and remained active. And there my 5 hours of overanalyzing stuff began. From "Is she ignoring me?" to "Does she have someone else hitting her up?" and "I think she only gives me time to think" and "She might kissing somewhere with her boyfriend, leaving me as a sidekick" .. pretty much we just met few times at school .. and so I practically dragged my confidence down and I was just "I can't blame her for ruining my day - she hasn't done anything!" so I asked "Wanna hang out tonight?". When she finally replied (at 8 pm) "Sorry, I don't have time", there my night full of suspicious thoughts started off. Luckily I am out of that and I always force myself to end overthinking stuff so much by doing different activity.
I have been a mechanical engineer for more than 40 years. Worcing with these new 3D drawing programs, visualising to other people became much easier. BUT, i still have no idee where all these idees in my head came from.
It really is magical! Saying that about the brain in general. It's pretty crazy actually especially looking at the macro-level of some things happening in life right now. Your video was really motivational for my goal this year, I want to keep improving on it or more like improving myself haha! Have a good one!
Fred. Maybe Freaky Fred. I have no rational explanation for it :) . It's just what popped out at me. I'm in the middle (literally, 30-something minutes of a 1:03 video) of editing my lecture on a specific instance of palaeographical history. Your video described the kinds of thoughts I've been having about the elements of this video. It's huge work, but I keep thinking about how it will help people to know the history. I see where I went off topic, and I think about how editing that out will keep them on-topic. I see where I talked vaguely about subjects that weren't part of the main text, and I thought of throwing in images of the actual information and putting data, quotes and credits to aid the viewer now (and not have them wait for another video to describe it). And watching you make that very creative monster seriously encouraged me, though tired and at home, to keep it up. I really want the video out this weekend; and somehow your engaging ways got me revved up to get back going again! Thank you, David!
The monster is lovely as hell 😂. I’d call him Daba. Not too original, I know, but I named him after his creator ). I so agree with you on the whole manifestation thing. This is it in action. Thoughts become things and all things used to be thoughts in the beginning. It is sooooo true. Ah, this is a whole other subject I’m pretty passionate about ). I’m a big believer in energy and manifestation and law of attraction. We create our own reality. You just demonstrated it in the most simple and cute way in action, master ). You’re multitalented. The monster is beyond cute ).
Aww thank you! That was my whole goal with this, show the manifestation of thoughts in reality in real time just to engage how you may think about the world and your power to change it! Thank you so much!
Love the monster! And as a practicing witch all people are magic. We do manifest our private thoughts though sometimes unconsciously. We all have the ability to make our lives better or worse and affect others.
I've typed myself as a INFJ (notice I typed "myself" ahahaha, so disregard if i'm way off the mark". I love this example because it feels similar to how I make and shape my goals. Ni is my conceptualized goal, Fe is me trying gauge how my "tribe" would feel about this goal being accomplished, Ti would be feel similar to me finding facts and support in reaching that goal and Se (sadly my hardest function) would be to actual start to work on the first steps of my goal in the present day. For example, I'll have the goal of changing jobs, I'll guage how it would make my family/friends feel, I'll then give supporting facts of why I should do such a thing and then have a rough time starting the process of moving towards that goal.
Boy... You're definitely an infj... I being one myself, had to skip to 2/3rds of the way through when you got your playdough out... Damn lol lol!! Hearing you speak is exactly like my thought stream.... All over the place!!! Hehehe 😉👍🏼😂🤣😂
I used to think that MBTI was your personality, and the way you thought as well, but when you spoke about that at the beginning i think it might be only the way you think, and feel things I agree that saying your 'personality' is categorizing to much, and sometimes instead of thinking: "I do this because it's how I am" I think: "I do that because I'm an INFJ" which isn't a good way for thinking, so thanks for shedding some light on that
Yeah brother you are right.... I went against my gut feeling so I thought ill do it anyway, thought I would get a roof over my head. Well it was not worth, five days of emotional abuse so now I'm stranded...God told me not too go but I did anyway, Next time I'll go with my intuition..4 sho. We r very very observant, and it can b very, very overwhelming
I always find myself obsessing over why people do the things they do. I always try to give them the benefit of the doubt but once I found out they are toxic, I have no problem NEVER speaking to them again. It sounds rude but this is just how I am. I refuse to get fooled by covert demons.
It's good to know where your boundaries are and to stick to them!
I get you man. No time to waste on the fakes. But for some reason, I can only do it to people who are directly toxic. It takes me forever to convince myself that someone is toxic if they do it discreetly
Bruh..... What about feeling like crap after? WHEN they consistently tell you your the problem? Its projection but why? Lol but once im gone im waaaaaaaay gone. It takes me a second to bounce and build walls up for strangers. Romantically..... Catastrophically everytime ignoring the redflags cuz i decided to let them be "human".
The 🚪 slam is often well deserved.
🤣🤣 this is literally me
Our biggest gift as INFJs = being able to connect "puzzle pieces" that don't seem to connect at all. I've only just realized, maybe in the last 5 years, that not everyone is able to do this. You did a great job of connecting the pieces in this video. Thank you, and, as always, keep up the great work!
Amanda The Expectation Gaps Thank you so much! I appreciate you!
I was always was pretty sure that everyones heads work like that, until I discovered MBTI.. Surprisingly it's not..
Nothing better than a well groomed man with loving eyes and an “articulated” mind
If only I could find him somewhere! :-)
Intelligent and easy on the eyes 👍❤️. My kinda guy!
@@jasonws1972 intuitive. Unfortunately, we’re not very intelligent.
" over analyze things until we destroy ourselves". So painfully true....and why I want a new brain sometimes😭😭😭
Edited: Do you have tips on how not to do that, or how to snap out of it???
That's that horrible Ni-Ti loop. I find that getting answers, and engaging that Fe as often as possible does the trick. Anything meditative - a hobby like cooking or playing music - can often pull you into a space where you are depending less on all of that over thinking and more on being in a moment.
I find creatively manifesting what I think about helps. I creat pictures stories gives me a realise. It like my thoughts creates energy that I need to engage with and therefore release. This energy engages my playful side. Therefore, it think of it as different sides of me trying to communicate... like Me Myself and I. They want their perspective to have time in the forefront or even to cooperate to bring forth possibilities😊😍
I find that when I'm overthinking to the extreme, it helps me most to do the opposite......physical exercise. Hiking, biking, dancing, singing, anything to bring me present to the moment and restore balance.
I had to play music at night to drown out all the thoughts. Cuz I have all the thoughts. Buuuuttt...it has to be a different language like Gregorian chant not instrumental...you can have the thoughts if there are no words.
Depression crippled me at work yesterday so I wrote a song about what I was feeling and did not stop until I was done. I made myself late for an appointment in the process but I no longer felt crushed by it. Granted, I was still depressed for the remainder of the day but I had more control over myself than depression had over me at the onset.
Overflowing with emotion.. I have felt disconnected my whole life from the world the more I learn the more grounded I am becoming. My tears are no longer only purposed for pain they fall with reassurance and happiness knowing I've not been an alien my whole life 👽🦄🥀.. 😜😁
That's wonderful, Marie! Plus that set of emojis! Alien Unicorn! 😁
I named him: Chesapeake. As I watched I felt you are lucky that Se is your 4th function. Its 8th for me. I feel you are perhaps one of the most developed of the INFJs I've seen online. Apparently very mature personalities are hard to type. I find you to be very well rounded and talented on several fronts.
Chesapeake is a great monster name! Perhaps living in the Bay itself!
Thank you for watching, I'm glad it resonated and I appreciate the compliment!
I have to say 99% of the day I’m literally in my own world my thoughts are my world essentially. And I’m pursuing goals that are way above me like no college education just a high school diploma some good ideas and self education. And a feeling heart. Your vision is so real in your mind but actually making it manifest being the tool of creation is so difficult because you’d see everything you need to do you just don’t know how to do it. It’s like I don’t know how to ask for help, or I don’t know what type of help I actually need
I understand that, if it's any help, try to talk to people doing the things you want to do, surround yourself with those who are okay giving you a little mentorship. Then set to learning.
If you have a desire to be a student, there is so much you can learn, but it will take time to get there. You can do it!
@@DavidBadurina Jacob literally just said he doesn't know what type of help he needs lmao, also hell yeah same here Jacob
Jacob Sawall WOW!!! It’s like you’re speaking for me. Stop sweating this. Time will help you understand that this is a gift to help you cope with the negativity around you. I relate, understand and use this gift when the outside world is too hard.Inside your head all is well and safe. This is my coping mechanism. A gift I am grateful for. You will be too. We’re all dreamers. Dreaming big is a foundation for you to do big things.much luck!!!
You make my world a better place.
Aww this is the simplest, sweetest thing ever. Thank you!
The big INFJ problem is that sometimes we stuck in the Ni stuff and we end doing nothing
Ode to the 2%.
The fact that we “see people” yet our sensing tells us to stay kind & forgiving.
Always feeling the need to help & create harmony among others.
But the internal intuition is there to protect us & set off the 🚨 whenever needed.
Just us the INFJs trying to make the 🌎 a better place.
I will only be excepting INFJs in my life from now on!! Remarkable people!
Mr. Godluvem. 😉
Your kindness is so obvious in your face, your words, your message...blessings to you.
Thank you so much!
I agree! If I met you on the street I would totally read kindness. Keep up the videos! These are some of the best I’ve seen; pretty much on any topic.
David, I needed this video very much. I have always been very happy to be an INFJ. I feel very comfortable being the cheerleader, the appreciative audience, the one who can shine the light on things that many people don't even notice. However, a few months ago on his birthday, my husband went into the kitchen and I didn't hear him so, I went in after him. I found him on his knees and he couldn't stand up. I laid him on the kitchen floor and I said, I love you. I didn't know what was happening. His eyes were huge and blue and he mouthed, I love... and, he died. My whole world ended in a second without warning. For some reason, my family cannot take strong emotion so, from that day forward I have been left alone to mourn by myself. To tell you the truth, after two months of being in shock, I went where I feel the safest. I went into my mind. All my life, I was the one that was watching everyone so that I could make sure no one was sad and I could alarm everyone if there was danger. If someone was eating at the table and they picked up their glass and noticed it was empty and set it back down, I noticed. I knew they were thirsty so, I got up and got them something. No one had to ask me for something they needed most of the time. Now, I am an INFJ and an empath who is all alone. My healing is so slow. The most painful part is not having my husband to love. I have never been materialistic but, the things that I always want are the things that money cannot buy. My husband and I had spent 23 years together talking and sharing and having adventures. I only needed someone to feel safe enough to go out into the world and then everything fell into place. What a gift to be loved by someone exactly as you are and to love them back the same way. And yet, we both wanted to be better people for each other. I've only been starting to cry for the last 2 weeks. I am creating my reality one second at a time. The house is silent now because I canceled the cable and I don't miss it. I miss the soul of my husband that I could feel from anywhere in this house. The stillness was eating me up. My question is how does an INFJ who is housebound and never learned to drive ever going to feel Joy again? I'll let you know one day if I ever figure it out. I lost the most precious gift of knowing and being known. God bless you and your monster. Sincerely, Carly 💜
Carly ...
I'm in tears. I'm so sorry for your loss, and for all of the complex emotions, thoughts, feelings, and memories that happen as a result. Please know that I feel you right now and my heart goes out to you. Truly.
I don't know that there's any piece of advice that I could possibly give you that would help. I can only speak from the experience of losing my brother suddenly last year.
Do the things that would bring HIM joy to know that you are doing, and even though his presence may not be there, it does feel a little bit like he's there with you during those things. He would want you happy. My brother wanted me to succeed, wanted me to do the things I felt were important, even if the ideas were grand and seemingly ridiculous. Doing those things now and having that purpose to find some joy while being unable to tell him about it really do keep me going because I can imagine how crazy he'd react if I could talk to him on the phone.
Small things. Small things outside, on a walk, all the little things you can notice as joyous and full of life.
I wish I had a better answer, I truly do. Sending you ALL the love my sweet INFJ friend.
@@DavidBadurina David, your answer was beautiful. You know how much us INFJs crave intimacy with people that understand us. Your brother surely knows what you are doing and he is right there cheering you on. My mark taught me everything I needed to know about living after being abused by a narcissist for years. The Narcissist told me I was too ugly to go outside and he used me up as I gave him all the love and power and strength I had in me. Mark was there when I ordered my first cup of coffee shaking at 34 years old. He said I was so beautiful it took his breath away. He told me I was plenty good enough. It took me years to believe him. I will not forget what he told me. I pray that God gives me the opportunity to help someone in my life because to me giving is receiving. Your unique ability to communicate not only the subject but the deep feelings behind it are an awesome gift. Please, you are needed at this time to help us to stay together and not go off into dark corners all alone to lick wounds that will never heal. Everything brought into the light will heal but sometimes it takes a friend or an acquaintance just to witness your journey. I will be watching yours. Sincerely, Carly
Yes exactly! Often when I have a problem I need to solve; I wait a few days and my Ni just kinda ties things together and bam! I suddenly know what I have to do. There's a lot of 'aha' moments. And then Ti is there to make a concrete plan for it. And great message at the end. It amazes me when I have an image in my mind and I manage to replicate it in a drawing and then it's there for everyone to see.
So glad this resonated for you! Thank you!
"Focuses on the emotions of everything" it made me think of me being able to pick up on the emotions of spirits
Play-doh and Aristotle, the great philosophers of our time 😂
Thank you for sharing your views on our functions, I love your videos!
😊 thank you
Clever Plato or am over thinking it
Thanks for the reminder about our creativity, i've been a bit swamped and stressed and have not given myself enough creative time. Creativity is important to me because it brings so much energy and power, and like you said, connects all the pieces into the present moment.
Absolutely! And it's good to recognize that, too. Do those things to engage and dream, it's your oxygen!
Thanks David. 😊 I genuinely teared up when you said, " Your brain is incredible..." 😥😭 Thank you!
For me...if I cannot envision a task or project from beginning to end, it is usually scrapped before I start.
Oh and, let's call her BOB!🥰
Proof off how our words and actions will continue to impact those far beyond we can understand. Proof even more that we all need to be intentional with what we put out into the world , and be accountable to ourselves for what that intention is. A year later and your gift blessed another in kind. Thank you for encouraging me
I love your videos, you’re a kind soul and you make people feel understood. - fellow INFJ lol. 🤓
Thank you so much for this Sarah, I appreciate you!
This idea and real "product" in the end is great! You are a genius and I have so much motivation now to use my Se to make so many ideas I have reality but it's 2am and I have to sleep.
Ideas at 2AM are great, but that next day can be real rough. I'm glad you enjoyed this!
His name? Albert Limestein 😂
Ahaha! Love it' !
😁😁😁
Such a great suggestion! :-)
When you said “... it’s what grounds us to reality...” you spoke volumes. Glad you mentioned it as a weakness!
Thank you for that! I appreciate you!
My man. I am 19 years old and just find out since a few days that i am an infj. You really really inspired. This video really got my mindset changed. Much love and respect.
Thank you. Well put. I am an INFJ special needs teacher, teaching online this year. Your process is exact in the way I think of a unit to create (slides), break it down into what my students can understand, create multi level material, and present it to them. Bang on
Hi, I'm an ISFJ, trying to understand the way Ni is shaping INFJ's world and your videos are super helpful for me. Thank you very much for your work!
Hi Adam! So glad they're helping! Thank you so much for watching and commenting, my ISFJ cousin!
Name for green play-doh dude.. Raff-blak -grum-grum LOL 😆🙃 Thanks! for the video! Happy New Day! & Cheers! ❤☕
Thank you for making the world a better place :)
Man you just explained INFJ cognitive processes in the most INFJ way ever 😂
😂 I’ll take that as a compliment lol
Thoughts are things and things are thoughts. If you think it, it exists.
Great vid. Picking a name is so far out in my thoughts that I don’t have the wackiest suggestion to put out there. Too many things in the next few days including a sleepover on a US battleship with my Son and his Cub Scout Pack. Yes... 24 hrs till we have to get in the car to make the drive. Only 24 more hours, yes! Once we hit the road I will be fine, but damn It’s hard to even get work things in my thought process today. Glad I took time to watch this one. It’s a perfect time for it. Only saw a couple suggestions but I do like “Chesapeake” it’s cute, and being from Jersey “GUI-Dough”
Hey if we're going to go full Jersey I could just call him Pork Roll or Yous Guys or "What Exit?" ;-)
Yeah ... born and raised South Jersey. I get it!
David Badurina haha yeah. 145. I thought I picked up a sense of Jersey in you.
But really, thanks for putting out these videos. They really help a lot of people. If I could get the chance to comment more and offer suggestions it would be exactly this topic, our Thought process.
Such a charming and inspirational video. As an INFJ-T, I'm often very trapped in an Fe/Se loop where I feel very afraid and experience intense performance anxiety when it comes time to 'producing' anything. I really appreciate how you presented our function stack in such a positive way: it was a much needed reminder that our function stack *does* exist for a useful purpose, and isn't just an ebil universe conspiracy designed to destroy us and make us crazy, which is how it feels sometimes. Thank you for always serving us integrated, mature INFJ energy. Gave me all the warm fuzzies.
Oh and....Ulrich von Underbiteson, First of His Name.
Amanda! Ulrich von Underbiteson, First of His Name! You are my hero! Haha.
And thank you so much! I really wanted to capture that exact spirit, just a friendly stroll through the cognitive functions with a playful example. I'm SO glad it resonated in that way!
We all need a little more positivity, because it can be rough out there!
As always, I appreciate you!
@@DavidBadurina :D
I'm very late lol, but I have been questioning if I'm really an INTP with a Ti dom and decided to watch this video, you articulated your thoughts so well and helped me narrow out that I am not an INFJ, or any type with an Fe in the top 2 functions. Thank you for this video, it was very interesting
Glad it was helpful!
Really well communicated. Thanks! ❤
You're so welcome!
I would name him Algernon. I just noticed this was posted in 2020 so you have probably chosen a name already. :) In any case, I stumbled upon your channel and have quickly figured out my infj-ness. Your videos are wonderful; thank you for creating them and for your kindness as you share with us. Many blessings to you!
Thanks so much!
A really clear explanation of how we think. We are so unaware of how we think and specially why. A good name for the monster could be "Carmelo", he seems so harmless. Great video.
Thank you!! I'm an INFJ and this helped me realise literally the whole thought process behind my current art project. Wowa. It all started with a 'vision' of an orange blob (funny I know) and has now evovled into a socially engaged art project encouraging people to play, as it releases them into a place of joy 😄 So nice to be reminded that we have an amazing brain, as I definitely don't think that most of the time!
This is so great, Catherine! I love when something resonates with someone so strongly! That sounds like a great project, nicely done! I appreciate you!
Hi David, i'm this guy in France resonating with your video (:
My freshly maturing Ni(Ne) is already using it, by stopping overplanning chores i have to do today.
Now on i'll try to play around in my mind with a piece of playdo, in stressful situations, to see if that helps explaining my ideas.
Thanks for sharing Mr. Green (not good, nor bad, until you decide what purpose he'll deserve).
Hope that makes sense to you.
Thanks for your refreshing content !
Have a nice day !

Bonjour Joël! Merci d'avoir regardé cette vidéo!
It's so great that you're trying to engage that intuition by keeping a lid on getting overwhelmed. This is critical, I think! So glad you're hanging out with me here and happy you liked the video!
Je t'apprécie!

Also... As an INFJ who struggles sometimes with that bridge between my ideas and their reach in the actual real world, thank you so much, really 💖
Wow great 😀👌
I love music, play a little bit guitar. And I wrote some songs... So there came a melody with only few word's in my mind, I took a peace of paper and wrote it there. Then I took my guitar and began playing and thought other words and how the song continued. And now I have wrote yes three songs its not a thing of every day or week because it came by deep inspiration. One of the songs, the first, I translate it also in German language ☺️. It's true my mind works, if i want I can create almost every thing I think. Thank you for this fantastic video. 👏
Keep creating!
First name that came to mind is Frank! Not sure why but there it is. You nailed it bro!! I was actually nervous to watch this because I had doubts I wouldn't be this mental process type. I feel like this is a type that can really help people and I didn't want to see that I didn't have that. I love helping people and love that you described it perfectly, that is me also. I dont have many people that can relate to this so thank you for being that outlet, it means the world! Keep it up, buttercup.
I imagine the reason both you and Kim Harrison named him Frank may be subconscious due to Frank James being a popular RUclipsr and fellow INFJ, and likely on one of the suggested videos to the right.
I've had a bamboo plant named Frank for the last 10 years (it's the only plant I've ever managed to keep alive for more than a few months), so I certainly wouldn't want Bamboo Frank to get confused! :-)
I'll be over here doing my thing! Thank you so much for watching, I appreciate you!

Hermes Trismegistus for the win! 😉
"His name is George and you should hold him and love him and play with him everyday." Ok that was my weird flashback moment. You and George did a very good job of explaining how all the functions work together. I love when I wake up in the morning with all the puzzle pieces pulled together!
Barb! I catch that Looney Tunes reference! Love him and squeeze him and call him George! ;-)
Thanks so much for watching, I appreciate you!
INFJ-T, recently discovered what I am. :D I wasn't planning to write anything under this video, but this resonates with something that I have experienced. I am a writer, too. When I finished my first novel and it got published, I held the paper copy in my hands - this is exactly what I felt. That is a story and characters that existed in my head and now - there is the physical manifestation of them in real life! People will read it, get influenced by it, live with those fictional people, who have emotions and flows and go through difficult moments, just as real people. Everyone is going to take a lesson from the story that is relevant for their life! This is so cool! All of this initially was created in my own mind - just as this green monster started its existence in a dream! :)
Yes 💯! And it’s a great feeling as an author!
@@DavidBadurina Yes, it's the best!
Bangalee. Not sure if I'm spelling that correctly, but he was a little monster in a story I used to get read to me as a child.
This was a great video for anyone who happens to be just learning typology, but also good reminder for the rest of us that our brains truly are amazing!
Bangalee sounds adorable!
And thank you so much! I really try to hone in on helping both of those crowds, it's nice to have that recognized! I appreciate you!
Love it! I say this as an INFJ and an adult educator, struggling for ideas.
So glad you enjoyed it!
Always been strong in the top three stack items, and weak in the 4th (se).....but over the last few years i kind of discovered what it means to be in the moment and have found it enlightening . Practising it more and more .
This is great, Mark! All about some balance just to make sure you're getting everything you need. Too much Se can get us overwhelmed (thus our tendency toward HSP it seems), but just the right amount can balance us out bigtime!
David Badurina yes true...... I have noticed that being in the moment for too long leaves me feeling a little robbed......like I need to escape or retreat back to logic and planning and deep thought to feel sane again. But it is still enlightening at times
Thank you for the explanation! Really helped me out especially because I'm still in the journey of understanding what INFJ actually means. Love the sense of humor by the way :-)
Thank you!
You're welcome!
As an ISFP that has frequent visions I am currently trying to manifest them as artwork into a book that may be able to help others. It seems at times I have tendencies toward an INFJ thinking process. When you mentioned," what are some of your hang ups?".....I would have to say that I have a tendency to need the artwork to be in "perfect presentation mode" rather than just allowing myself the grace to just share it in the form of some rougher sketches. I overthink my pieces/artwork to the point that I paralyze myself to take action and don't complete them.
I had heard of a technique that's like a "30 day being terrible challenge" Take a hobby that you are not great at, do it for 30 days, and allow yourself to be terrible but still try. It's a way to get yourself to forgive some of those imperfections. I may try it with watercolor painting some time. :-)
@@DavidBadurina I love this suggestion! There are so many things I could be potentially horrible at! (I'm laughing right now)
I'm thinking of automotive projects,or math related things like soduko, or weight loss(wait that's not a hobby!).
I'm going to start off small and get myself a soduko book(hope I spelled the word correctly). I'll try my best not to self depricate! Here goes my adventure onto the road of imperfection!....and thank you for your awesome idea from a truly beautiful mind. I'll probably have to sing the song "try a little tenderness" to myself as I go.
Thank you for the video. You are amazing
You're so welcome!
I just recently found out about MBTI and I've tried many online tests. I found out that tests aren't enough and that you should know about these cognitive function stacks to understand better. I read so many articles and I have also watched videos on youtube with a duration of almost an hour. To be perfecly honest, I didn't seem to clearly understand anything at all. I have always thought that maybe I need a specific happening or example which I could relate with in order to further understand the functions and this video is a very great help. This is just what I am looking for, plus it's hardly even half an hour. This is great, sir. Thank you!
I have a name for your impressive monster......
Ian
Nicholas
Francis
Joseph...... Or i guess you could call him "The INFJ Monster" for short
I had a dream yesterday that i was holding a dog named Dusty, and it crapped all over the carpet of the bedroom i was staying in whilst on holiday..... I really don't think there is a pertinent message i can apply to this dream 🐶 + 💩 = 😡
You should make more monsters with Play dough.... That one is so cool 😎
When you first started doing videos, you were concerned about how many dislikes you were getting. Now look at how well you are doing. Not one dislike up until this point, plus plenty of likes and great feedback. Well done David. That's what happens when you stay true to yourself. Keep up the good work INFJ friend. 🙂
Well, at least Dusty gave you an interesting dream?
Thank you! I like play-doh monsters. I think we need to spend more time tinkering like we did when we were younger. it's good for your brain.
And thank you for the compliment. I need that kind of reminder, my friend. The journey can be nice to sit back and look at once in awhile!
As always, I appreciate you!
The likes are always more important than the dislikes. Just be a Gandalf about it and tell those dislikes, "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!" 😁🧙♂️🍻
@@DavidBadurina LEGO...
Hello, David! I am a INFP and my other half is an INFJ like yourself. Awesome video, a dear soul sister of mine who is also INFJ shared your video with me and it instantly made me smile even before starting to view it. I am now a new subscriber and I Love to learn about every cognitive function and INFJ is my fav one to learn about so thank you for being a RUclipsr and helping me and those out that really are fascinated. I Love how you expressed you are a little awkward, so kudos to that so am I...the name that came forward for me is Russel or Tombias. :)
Thank you so much! I appreciate you and I'm so glad you found us here! I looove my INFP cousins! :-D
I like how you call INFJs sweet. If I had a penny a student said I was too kind. If only they knew. 😋
yeah we care about other people till we neglect ourselves
Love the LED lighting!
Solid breakdown and demonstration of cognitive functions - you have a great way of conveying information in a relatable fashion!
I'm big on LED for mood!
And thank you! This was an anxiety inducing one to put together. Always appreciate you coming by! We'll talk soon my friend!
You’ve helped me out a lot man. Thank you! Proud INFJ Empath here!!
Thank you for saying so! I appreciate you!
Call the monster "Green weaver" (after Dream weaver by Gary Wright) just the first thing that came to mind
His name is Bubba. A simple ole guy that may seem scary but in reality is a gentle giant.
I needed to hear this one.
Bubba is a great suggestion! And so glad you liked it!
INFJ here, new subscriber btw
So glad to have you here! Welcome to the tribe!
The thing about the books... Very powerful.
So glad it resonated!
Call it Captain Kerf.
This video is pretty spot on. I'm in a scenario where I'm trying to realize a goal (make a game to tell a heartfelt story that people enjoy), but I know the SE requirements are massive (learning to make quality art assets en mass). I've been making deliberate efforts to improve my art over the years, and have had some measurable progress. Still, I just can't help but worry that my deficient SE is making this much harder, and mechanically rendering my ideas is somewhat draining. Is it more difficult for an INFJ to be a skilled artist than other types? I heard that stronger SE helps people notice and render details more effectively.
Captain Kerf is a great suggestion!
And this is a REALLY thought-provoking comment! I'm not sure if I can really add anything to it. I think as art is expression that perhaps fine detail isn't something that's as natural as pure in-the-moment expression.
Whenever I found that I wanted to accomplish something similarly, I'd work with someone else on it. I have a good INTJ friend who is fantastic at detail and direction and he and I worked so very well together. I'd concentrate on the interpersonal relationships and broad vision, he could make it happen. Perhaps all you need is another set of eyes!
Best of luck to you, I appreciate you!
I think that Se in the 4th position doesn't mean you have to be less skilled in artistic work than Se - dominants. I think they just have an easier time to be good at several Se - related disciplines cause they have more energy for being in the here and now with all their senses. It's just this perfectionism getting in our way. Our visions are so wonderful - reality just can't measure up. We have to accept that. Art is never all about Se and aesthetics. It's also about seeing things and sending a message out there. And it's about emotions and sharing something with others. There's a lot to contribute for Ni and Fe. 🙃 I'm a musician and I might be light-years away from being a guitar hero. I may never be able to sing the Queen of the night. But when people hear me, they fall silent and listen. Whenever there's something in the emotions and messages I express that resonates with them. We don't need to be perfect. We just need to be what we are.
For some reason I wanna name him Hungry Joey. 😂 I think the saying “Make sure to stop and smell the roses” really applies to INFJ types to bring us into the present. My struggle with bringing ideas to life is just getting started. Once I’ve started I have made up my mind and then it’s almost an obsession to finish. I wish you all the best in your book!
We definitely need to take the time to stop and appreciate! Absolutely!
And thank you! :-)
Ohh thumbs up for Hungry Joey!!!😁❤❤❤
Thank you. You've described precisely how my thinking 'feels'.
I love the way you talking and expressing thoughts, cause I’m laughing a lot. Why? Cause it’s about me as well. And it’s so great to feel it, it’s like someone is reading your mind on the best way at all😻
That's awesome Chloe! So glad it resonates!
A gift, but a poisoned gift in many cases...
Daniela Risi That can be said of many people out there. So good to have some clarity when it comes to motivations of others!
@@DavidBadurina The problem is that there is an "out there" to which we can't and do'nt want to belong: the price to pay for this gift can be very high, but of course we have no choice, unless we betray ourselves
P.S.I know... my english is not the best...(INFJ perfectionism!). I'm italian (Florence).
Sweet sweet infj 🤗 never accepted myself as “sweet” bc toxic masculinity, but now learning to embrace it and this helps
I shut myself down too often at the step after the Ti portion of the process. Forever working on the difficult follow throughs.
thank you ❤️ for calling sweet sweet 🙂
It's Mr. Henri Snagglepants. Yep. My hangup is demanding (or even expecting) perfection before even starting anything. That pretty much trips up anything you want to do.
Yes it does! It's good to allow it to be awful!
His name is jubbin lol. Thank you for this video that was so on point to what I needed to hear right now. And just wanted to thank you because a while back I mentioned I make art and was infjing hard on putting my stuff out there and you said you wanted to see I rode that wave of excitement and I have now put 26 or so of my paintings into the world. It was scary and I now love it and because I got so excited that someone I look up to might see my art. Now I'm just excited all the time and not scared thank you.
This is fantastic Lashia! Get it out there! Hit my website, drop me an email, and give me a link to where I can see them! :-)
I love when the puzzles pieces/connect the dots come to fruition. I've had quite the revelation about Akashic records recently. I blew my own mind when it happened. I love being an INFJ, but sometimes I hate it lol, it takes a lot of work to fit everything together. But damn it's amazing when it does, and I have clarity.
Also somebody in Australia, is watching your videos about cool monsters.
I'm in Sweden watching a guy making a monster out of Play Doh...is there something else more important I should be doing...nah 😬😁
Me too NSW
Cheers Australia!
This little monster has been seen across the world, it's so weird! :-)
Also Morocco 😁
Hi David. I confirm, your video resonates with an INFJ writer currently based in France! The little monster dude... How about Winston?
So glad to hear it, and wonderful to come across another INFJ writer! Welcome! Winston is a GREAT name!
Hello! Im writing a book as well, with an INFJ main caracter. Your video was helpfull to undestand her. Thank You! BTW, Your little troll is cute. Trollo shoud be its name.
Aww awesome! So glad to have another writer here (and with an eye on INFJ thought process)! Hope you find a home with our tribe here! :-)
Hectic week, late night RUclipss, relaxing voice, play doh, cute monsters=fallen asleep twice. This video is my new drug. Lol! It’s a very fascinating and educational video! I’m staying awake today! Thank you for being you! (Kinda wanna eat that wee monstie)
Yay! I’m awake and, just like me, I know you appreciate ridiculously long names, so my suggestion for your friend is: Sir Figmint Smooshface Stinkypants der Klöppel the third. (I mean, after all, he was once a figment of your imagination and yer boi has quite a tongue on him!)
HAha wait a second ... I'm not sure if it's a GOOD thing that my video is putting people to sleep! ;-)
Thank you though, I appreciate it so much. Maybe a little ASMR quality going on here.
And OMG THAT NAME. Kat ... this is brilliant. I'm absolutely tickled that you remember my fondness for long and ridiculous names and put that much thought into the guy. You're the best!
David Badurina haha it honestly is a compliment that your video is very relaxing to me! It’s probably the smell of the play doh. Wait? ;)
And it’s super easy to remember the affinity for wordy and descriptive names when each of my pets literally has a paragraph for a name, each ending with an *aka*. Kindred spirits and all. 👻 Have a lovely day, sir!
The little green monster that could...Tigby
Aww that's a cute name!
"Play-Doh and a Spoon"-- Love IT, HA!
I'm going to start carrying theses items in my bag. That way, when someone asks again, "How are feeling Ang?", I can just grab my purse, hand'um the Doh and, thank them for asking.
If nothing else, it's a great way to end a conversation. Someone talking to you, just take out play doh and a spoon and be like, "If you'll excuse me," then walk away. :-)
Once I was messaging with a girl who always let the message as "delivered" and remained active. And there my 5 hours of overanalyzing stuff began. From "Is she ignoring me?" to "Does she have someone else hitting her up?" and "I think she only gives me time to think" and "She might kissing somewhere with her boyfriend, leaving me as a sidekick" .. pretty much we just met few times at school .. and so I practically dragged my confidence down and I was just "I can't blame her for ruining my day - she hasn't done anything!" so I asked "Wanna hang out tonight?". When she finally replied (at 8 pm) "Sorry, I don't have time", there my night full of suspicious thoughts started off. Luckily I am out of that and I always force myself to end overthinking stuff so much by doing different activity.
Oh yikes yeah that's brutal. I'd almost rather not see if a message was delivered than to see it read and not responded to.
I have been a mechanical engineer for more than 40 years. Worcing with these new 3D drawing programs, visualising to other people became much easier. BUT, i still have no idee where all these idees in my head came from.
They are in there somewhere, right? :-)
Very good and relevant to me right now. Thank you
So glad Stephanie, thank you.
Oh could be George, oh wait need to use Ti a while, tell you next week. 🙂❤💙💛🧡💜💚
Sounds good! :-)
It really is magical! Saying that about the brain in general. It's pretty crazy actually especially looking at the macro-level of some things happening in life right now. Your video was really motivational for my goal this year, I want to keep improving on it or more like improving myself haha! Have a good one!
So glad I could motivate a little! Thank you so much!
Fred. Maybe Freaky Fred. I have no rational explanation for it :) .
It's just what popped out at me.
I'm in the middle (literally, 30-something minutes of a 1:03 video) of editing my lecture on a specific instance of palaeographical history. Your video described the kinds of thoughts I've been having about the elements of this video. It's huge work, but I keep thinking about how it will help people to know the history. I see where I went off topic, and I think about how editing that out will keep them on-topic. I see where I talked vaguely about subjects that weren't part of the main text, and I thought of throwing in images of the actual information and putting data, quotes and credits to aid the viewer now (and not have them wait for another video to describe it). And watching you make that very creative monster seriously encouraged me, though tired and at home, to keep it up. I really want the video out this weekend; and somehow your engaging ways got me revved up to get back going again! Thank you, David!
This is amazing! Thank you so much, I'm so happy that little guy inspires! Best to you David, edit away and best of luck! I appreciate you!
I am here to learn WHY I think the way I do. It's one of my biggest causes of my social anxiety issues lol.
I hope something I say can help you!
I appreciate you. And his name is Blargh.
Blargh is a great monster name!
This guy is incredibly attractive just my hopeless romantic infj side coming out haha
Shuuuucks Chloe. Flattery will get you everywhere. Thanks for watching (and I totally get the romantic INFJ side, it's a thing)!
Ha.. Awesome I agree Chloe 😁
Well, I don't usually go for blue eyes...🤔😂🖖
Your monster looks like a Rufus. Informative video, thanks!
Haha thank U! 😀
Thank you too!
The monster is lovely as hell 😂. I’d call him Daba. Not too original, I know, but I named him after his creator ). I so agree with you on the whole manifestation thing. This is it in action. Thoughts become things and all things used to be thoughts in the beginning. It is sooooo true. Ah, this is a whole other subject I’m pretty passionate about ). I’m a big believer in energy and manifestation and law of attraction. We create our own reality. You just demonstrated it in the most simple and cute way in action, master ). You’re multitalented. The monster is beyond cute ).
Aww thank you! That was my whole goal with this, show the manifestation of thoughts in reality in real time just to engage how you may think about the world and your power to change it! Thank you so much!
David Badurina well, it worked! You already changed the world a little bit (or a lottle bit lol), it will never be the same without Daba now :).
Love the monster! And as a practicing witch all people are magic. We do manifest our private thoughts though sometimes unconsciously. We all have the ability to make our lives better or worse and affect others.
Thanks Jed! Our brains are pretty awesome!
I've typed myself as a INFJ (notice I typed "myself" ahahaha, so disregard if i'm way off the mark". I love this example because it feels similar to how I make and shape my goals. Ni is my conceptualized goal, Fe is me trying gauge how my "tribe" would feel about this goal being accomplished, Ti would be feel similar to me finding facts and support in reaching that goal and Se (sadly my hardest function) would be to actual start to work on the first steps of my goal in the present day. For example, I'll have the goal of changing jobs, I'll guage how it would make my family/friends feel, I'll then give supporting facts of why I should do such a thing and then have a rough time starting the process of moving towards that goal.
Great thoughts on this, thank you! :-)
Great video! I’m in Japan, watching your video. So you reached me here in Japan. And yes, I have a hang up with writing. Worrying I’ll screw it up.
Hellooooo in Japan! That's awesome! And yeah, I worry about that too. Constantly. Forgive yourself and keep putting words to page!
Appreciate your perspective and enjoying the videos. Frank...I would name him Frank.
My Bamboo plant is Frank! I couldn't possibly double up on the names. Maybe ... Frink? Frenk? Frunk? :-)
@@DavidBadurina Fred :)
Boy... You're definitely an infj... I being one myself, had to skip to 2/3rds of the way through when you got your playdough out... Damn lol lol!! Hearing you speak is exactly like my thought stream.... All over the place!!! Hehehe 😉👍🏼😂🤣😂
I used to think that MBTI was your personality, and the way you thought as well, but when you spoke about that at the beginning i think it might be only the way you think, and feel things
I agree that saying your 'personality' is categorizing to much, and sometimes instead of thinking: "I do this because it's how I am" I think: "I do that because I'm an INFJ" which isn't a good way for thinking, so thanks for shedding some light on that
You are very welcome, Christine! Thanks so much!
Yeah brother you are right.... I went against my gut feeling so I thought ill do it anyway, thought I would get a roof over my head. Well it was not worth, five days of emotional abuse so now I'm stranded...God told me not too go but I did anyway, Next time I'll go with my intuition..4 sho. We r very very observant, and it can b very, very overwhelming
Listening to that intuition is important! A lot of times that gut feeling is spot on. Best to you!
I think a snow man fell from the roof
These are getting good ✨
Not that they weren’t before, I just mean this is a really good video.
Thank you so much!
"Author, RUclipsr, Nice Guy."
That's the goal!
Gui-doh
Good to see you David, missed you over the break
So nice to see you in the comments again! Hope you are well and thanks so much for coming back to hang out with me! :-)
