      This has me thinking, so I'm just gonna say it - your final point is a bit odd to me because, well, I actually think a strength of the INFP is understanding many different points of view, even if we don't agree with them. It's our Ne helping us to accept the existence of many realities, combined with Fi giving us a holistic approach to the world and the people in it. Perhaps a less mature INFP will think and act more selfishly?

      If we actually said what we were thinking it could probably end someone’s whole career. When I looked up dark infp traits I heard that we keep tabs on people so if our anger boils over we just unleash all of our negative observations.

    As an INFP, I love being friends with extroverts, cause they can awake a extrovert side of me that I can't awake on my own. So the perspective of having a partner that helps me socialize is actually very pleasant. Is not like I don't want to be social, I just don't know how. I end up overthinking every social interaction to a point were it doesn't make sense anymore.

      as an autistic (to be clear Asperger) INFP-T, i both long and hate interaction with people.
      the fact that i reject the whole interaction at first makes me want to do it even more. it truly is a warzone in my mind.
      but..
      i can at least tell you that with time (this can be years into the future) you will learn about yourself and what tricks or methods to use to overcome. you will eventually find yourself longing for interaction with other human beings(for real).
      You don't have to believe me now. i accept the fact that its seems fairly random for another autistic idiot to write about INFP-T nonsense.. you don't have to hear me out at all. just know that with time, you will learn(unintentially) and accept.

I cried so hard and was thinking of killing myself. The unique thingy makes me so happy, at least someone finally acknowledged me.

      @@fitnleen since you are now getting to know each other, the best thing you can do is make him feel comfortable. You can ask questions. Sometimes, he may not be able to answer, whether is a delicate topic or he doesn't know how to express himself. But if he can, you may be surprised by all that's going on under his "carapace". We tend to hide many things if we don't know what to do with it. It requires time and trust, show him that you are willing to listen and understand.
      Likewise, listen carefully; and be patient, since it's very difficult for us to organize the pile of ideas in our minds to make it understandable and that can be frustrating sometimes.
      Try to express yourself, don't leave him guessing what you think or feel, tell him about yourself too; don't leave yourself behind. You matter, and your feelings as well.
      If you're not at your best, you can tell him. We are good listeners, and even if he doesn't have much to tell you, he will accompany you and empathize with you; We care a lot about the emotions of those we love.
      Hope this can help you, good luck 😊

    One thing not explored in depth here is that INFP needs someone who will truly listen, even to the most insignificant stories or ideas. We don’t always choose to share things because we assume others might think they are stupid, so when we do share and don’t receive validation, we tend to shut down.

    Ever since I've taken my MBTI test, I've been utterly shocked. I never knew there was a whole personality type that hits so close to home, let alone having a large community of people who are just like me. it's honestly very emotional because I thought I was just a weirdo who was the only one who experienced these things for as long as I can remember, but knowing I'm not alone is kinda comforting. My relationships and even friendships have been hindered because I'm so misunderstood by other people (including myself) because they don't do not know how to manage me and my emotions so this is definitely a breath of fresh air knowing that there is some hope lol. watching and researching videos and other information is making me really self-aware and is helping me be more mindful which is so helpful. It's almost like having a mirror or your inner self. I will continue researching infp-t personality types, trying to go deeper and deeper, but this was definitely a good start!

    My closest friend is INFP and I am an ENFP. Best combo ever. I always challenge her to go beyond and curse people out for mistreating her. She calls me on my bullshit, cheer me on in my projects and the mutual respect, support and honesty is the best ever. The connection is deep as hell. We always seem to be able to appreciate eachother and raise eachothers spirit 😄 we understand eachothers idealism and imagination and both are wery kind. I can get way more cynical than her though, and that balances out. She needs to stop idealising shitheads, and I need to let go of anger.

    I'm an INFP who just got out of a 16 year relationship with an INTJ. It wasn't all bad but he was the most emotionally invalidating person and once even straight up told me "your feelings are stupid".
    I knew 14 years ago that he wasn't the one for me and broke up with him, but came running back because I was lonely and my self-esteem was nonexistent. I convinced myself I could live a life without deep connection or affection from my own partner. What a pathetic dumbass I am.
    Now I'm 33 and recently divorced without kids and feel like I have no reason to even go on anymore. My mind is too screwed up and my issues run DEEP.

      @jhemp 11 месяцев назад +8

      I am an INTJ, and I want to tell you that you're feelings aren't stupid. They're an incredibly important part of your personality, BUT solving problems efficiently and effectively usually means ignoring how we feel at the moment and focusing instead to resolve the problem that gave rise to the feeling and letting the feeling run its course.
      It was incredibly unwise for your INTJ SO to call your feelings stupid. My SO (INFPs) feelings are incredibly frustrating and often cause me much strife, but they are also very genuine and are a big part of what makes her who she is.
      While I do wish she'd learn to check her emotions at the door sometimes, I'd never think her feelings aren't valid. I'm certain that's how she takes some of my attempts to rationalize outcomes and provide alternative perspectives that are less pessimistic, but I only do so to stress that I care and to help her see the positive when she sees none.

I just haven’t been able to allow myself to create children with someone who I don’t have a deep connection with. Now it’s probably too late to have them. At least you have a chance if you want it. I hope things are going better for you now. I am scared to divorce. I can’t afford it. I will lose everything.

    I am an INFP - and most of the time I am a very easy going type of person - unless someone attacks my deeply held convictions, beliefs, and faith - and then, I have no problem standing up for myself and what I have come to deeply believe in. I also have a tendency to somehow actually "feel" what other people are feeling and be able to talk to them and hopefully help them. My feelings ARE very intense. If someone yells at me without good reason - I completely withdraw emotionally and will never trust that person completely again - I will seal the most sensitive part of myself off from that person, and the relationship (IF there is still one left) will most likely never be the same. I also have a deep need to know the truth about many things and will research for hours and hours until I reach a place where I feel i've looked at all sides of things and then make a decision - and then, I will stick to that and not budge. I do not tend to believe something based on what popular opinion is, or what is touted in the news, or what Joe, down the street says, etc etc. It has to be something that I discover through many different avenues and turn over every stone to find. I think for many deeply sensitive people - they self -isolate because they are afraid of the world and are well aware of the cruelty of others, and this makes them very sad. I feel INFPs are most likely very altruistic and feel happiest when they are around other people who are idealistic like themselves and loving and compassionate. For myself, as an INFP - Trust and truth are deeply important. INFPs DO need a buffer to protect themselves from all of the bad things in the world so that they can feel safe.

    As an INFP, I really struggle with keeping up with my chores and doing practical things. And this can get really frustrating because, at the same time, I'm a dreamer so I want to pursue these things. This has led me to create a "life hack" where whenever I need to get something done, I ask someone else to *tell me* to do the task. It's helpful because it switches me to following that command rather than thinking about what needs to be done... and eventually concluding that I'll do it tomorrow

It's that feeling that no one knows who I am, have no cultural expectations from me other than politeness and respect, most probably not related to anyone I know.

      Same here. I've met the other INFPs and they're just like me, bubbling on their thoughts, talking about something serious and funny at the same time, and also tend to jump from a distinct to a general or everyday conversation in every topic.
      I also might say INTJ protects us, INFJ believes in our true hearts, and ISFP shares the same interest with us.

      Hey, I imagine it feels good to know someone cares that much, even if its not fully reciprocated. It would sure as hell make my day, even if I've only interacted with someone a few times. So, perhaps embarrassing, but also don't be afraid to show you care. As the cliche goes, we never know what someone else might be going through. A nice compliment from a stranger about my hair always makes my day. Keep being wholesome friend

A lonely universe, sometimes, where we can only appreciate the ideal and romantic, but this is my mind, my paradigm, and I will stay true to feeling and intuition.

    INFP female here with an ENTJ husband. He does all these things. When we did the MBTI test for him it showed he was like 51/49 in the extroverted/introverted spectrum. He helps me get out and keep up my relationships with friends but also understands that I don't like party situations as much as he does so I usually tell him when I want to leave and he let's everyone know we're leaving so I dont have to. He doesn't necessarily understand my emotions but he knows he doesn't understand it and will listen to me anyways. He also helps me take my fantasy life in my head and apply it to real life. He showed me I dont have to be overwhelmed by my emotions all the time and I showed him that he doesn't have to push all his emotions away.

    The thing about INFPs are we’re not normal. And we don’t want to be. We try to stray as far as the norm as possible. We are also very private, that’s why we don’t talk about what’s going on in our minds.

      Yeah, it’s the exact reason why enneagram type 4 is most commonly attributed to INFPs. It’s kind of annoying, but at same time, I literally would hate to be considered “normal”, just because I have this dire need for authenticity and self expression.
      I think type 9 INFPs are way more chill when it comes to the need for individuality, since they kind of just morph into whatever role and feel like they relate to most things.

    Notes - What we need in a Partner:
    1. Someone who respects our feelings. Need a partner who understand that you are sometimes emotionally confused and don't want to talk about it. "Get over it" is the wrong thing to say to you, and indicates to a lack of understanding and respect.
    2. Need someone to keep us grounded and pull as back into reality. So we need someone that is deeply grounded in reality, our opposite.
    3. A partner that helps us to be social, even forces us going out of our comfort zone. INFPs want to stay by themselves most of the time (this may come from the fact that we are afraid of being judged) We need a partner that can act as a social buffer.
    4. Sometimes we shut down, get quiet and stick to ourselves, mostly to recharge our batteries. We need someone that respects we need our alone time, to be able to get "out there" again. Need a partner that does not take it personally when we want, or rather need, to be alone from time to time.
    5. INFPs love to explore (in our mind). Need a partner that helps us to explore. When we don't go on adventures, we will get bored, especially if we don't have someone to go with us. Without someone who will explore with us, we will feel bored and trapped.
    6. Need someone with whom we can foster a deep connection. Not everyone is able to have this kind of intense and special relationship.
    7. Need someone who challenges us to grow. Mostly in getting out of our head more and rely less on our own feelings: We have a strong compass about good/bad and what we like and don't like, and can lead us to act kind of selfish and forget about everyone else. We have a superpower: We know who we are, and have a vision that we are very sure of it. But to other people, it can seem that we only care about ourselves. We need to open ourselves up (i.e. grow), to realize other people's judgments are as valid as our own.
    tl;dr (@Psychology Tea commented): INFPs are naturally laid-back, passionate, and usually not motivated by money. The most important thing in a partner is mostly having somebody who is very responsible, plans easily and tolerant. This is why ENFJ, ESFJ, ENTJ, or even INTJ usually make great partners, assuming both are mature individuals.
    If you have made it to here, hi, I am Gregor :D
    Have a great life, and know that I feel your struggle and send some love your way. Existence in the human incarnation is pain, but we only get the one run, so better do the best with it, e.g. start/try to be the best friend of yourselve, or at least try not to be a dick to yourselve all the time, you'll get there ;D ... we will get there :D
