As an INFP, if you don't talk to me daily, I won't remember your face or name the next day. I have troubles remembering people's faces and names, but I really excel in remembering anything else.
Honestly I love that I don’t have to try to be a weirdo or eccentric, it just comes naturally! As a fellow INFP once said: “I’d rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I’m not.” -Kurt Cobain
Definitely! As an INFP child I wanted nothing more than to fit in and be "normal", as I was bullied to no end and it was literally 'social suicide' to talk to me. Now with the world as it is, I am starting to feel like the 'normal one' and I gotta say.... I'm not ok with it😂😂😂
#2 is so true. I am terrible at remembering birthdays or even what date today is, but I can easily remember the details of a film or tv episode I enjoyed that I have seen only once. My parents always used to say “if only you could remember your school work as easily as you can remember that program” 😆
INFP here... other kids got in trouble for fighting/being rude..etc, my parents got the call from teachers being overly worried as I excessively daydreamed away my elementary school life 😆
Yes yes yes!!! This was me as well. I was made to feel a bit guilty about it, which is part of the reason why I became obsessive and neurotic for many years. Now I'm letting my carefree side resurface again. I behave like a cartoon professor, but at least I'm happy :D....
So basically INFPs have Inattentive ADHD? I used to think it was just me being an INFP, but realized I have Inattentive ADHD or ADD (outdated term) and that's why I have all these traits. I've assigned MBTI or Zodiac signs to myself, but it never helped. Finding out I was neurodivergent really changed the game for me and gave me reasons why I struggle in life so much while everyone around me succeeds. Excessive daydreaming, excessive thoughts that encroach on daily life, masking to fit in, feeling like an alien, bad memory for important things while remembering "unimportant" hyperfixations well, being clumsy or awkward, slow to open up to people because they never feel "seen" so they're scared to trust NTs. All ADHD traits.
WOW....this is the comment I've been looking for.....I'm an INFP but same time I have ADHD - inattentive type....now I'm wondering is it due to ADHD?😮😮😮😮
This is how my brain usually works: Day before bday: "It's so-and-so's bday tomorrow. I need to remember to call them." Day of bday: "Do-do-dee-do-do. It's a normal day" Day after bday: "Oh crap - it was so-and-so's bday yesterday and I forgot to call!"
My dad is an INFP and this is relatable 😂 He always ignore everyone when daydreaming, we need to call him at least 3 times or else he would just keep daydreaming 😅😅😅
I joined an INFJ group, but came to realise I didn't quite fit there so did the MBTI test and it came out INFP. I can relate to most points in this video except remembering movie plots, lines of dialogue. I have a hard time following plots because I get easily distracted and start daydreaming through tv dramas and films, so miss bits. I often don't remember important info. The forgetting birthdays is so spot on. I can't stand it because it looks like I don't care.

When I made my first test I was INSP and it didnt feel right. So Ive redone the test and here I am finding myself. Yes so many things are incredibly accurate.
I work in a bookstore and often have to ask customers for their names when they order books even if they have been coming in for years. What I do remember is their taste in books or even something personal they told me ages ago. I often feel embarassed I can't remember their names. But taking the test made me realise all the positive things about my personality type! ❤️
As an INFP with an ISTJ father who doesn't believe in breaking the social norm and is set to shaping me on how they want me to be and an ESFP mother who doesn't care in putting in the effort to help me and enjoy causing emotional turmoil for drama. It's rough.
Keep holding on! I am an INFJ with an ISTP father, never thinking before he speaks and therefore being rough and insultive towards me. He always tries to make me "wake up" and realize how the world truly is and is a hopeless pessimist, when it comes to the faith of mankind. My mother is an ESTJ and thinks all my aspirations and dreams are stupid and unimportant. She hardly notices my achievements and only sweats the small stuff (like me not putting the lid back on the toothpaste). So I get how you feel. ♡
As a INFP and Pisces you can imagine how much I’m always daydreaming😭 I actually only remember the most important things and the least😂 never just the simple things I need to know☠️ I was just talking to a guy earlier and he was talking about someone else liking me, and I’ve replayed that conversation so many times and thought about what I could have said better😭 I’m ALL of these except selfish bc I’m always thinking of how I’m making others feel and how I should act to make them feel better☠️
@@Lexfrmtex seriously! The amount of times my mom has asked me to do something and I’ve apparently said ok but don’t even remember the conversation when said comes to remind me🤣🤣😭
#7 isn't very true for me tho, I will reveal myself especially all of my bad points early in the relationship, kind of like a "disclaimer" so that the other party knows how weird I am early on and if he cannot accept it, then we can end the relationship before we become too connected.
Same, I haven't been in a romantic relationship in years but I tend to be closer to the oversharing type, also with my friends I have always been myself and not tried to hide things away, I get to really deep conversations quite early on!
هذا ما كنت اود قوله بالضبط فنحن اذا دخلنا في علاقة نود ان نكون مثاليين فيها ومن الصعب ان نخرج منها خوفا من كسر الطرف الثاني لذلك نكشف عن كل اوراقنا في الوهلة الولى😊
The things we are good at remembering are not wholly "unimportant." Even if they seem that way to others, they are important from our point of view because we can see connections that other people cannot. We remember those things because they help us understand things more thoroughly. Also, Idk if other INFP's do this, but I purposefully don't try very hard to memorize things that I can just as easily keep available in writing. This helps me free up more space in my conscious mind for problem solving. Why would I memorize all these birthdays if I can put them in a calendar and set reminders for myself? It would be like memorizing all the phone numbers in my phone.
I took a test given to me by someone and it said that I'm am an INFP. After watching this video I'm more convinced about the result because many of these points sound exactly like me. Except for remembering entire movie scripts. Stand out lines, sure. But who doesn't do that?
@@PsychologyRefresh I agree. As a raging infp, lol, I have to say that the world needs the infp tribe more than ever, in my opinion. This world, many times I have told myself, out loud (🤣) I am not made for this nasty place, needs our personality type to come out of our comfy, self soothing, daydreaming, lacking in self worth selves and help awake shakey, asleep, zombie like comatose state people are in and help society pull their heads out of their "bleep", live where people can see us and teach how to care a little about love, communicating and not being a selfish, neurotic and self absorbed self... Holy cow! Sorry, I got away with my thoughts... Yikes.🤣 What was the topic again?
I'm INFP and probably a little autistic, and my main struggle in life is the constant strain of feeling awkward in social interactions. I feel perfectly fine, going about my day thinking about everything that needs to be thought about, and then just buying a coffee and not knowing how to interact with the cashier brings it all down.
"as if they must act a specific way in order to fit in" ... honestly its sad that this is accurate, i "fit in" with them now, because i curse more and help them on their homework... its sad how people just switch when you help them on their own benefits 😞
As an INFP who's been around the block like 1-1/2, 1-3/4 times, lemme tell you, you belong everywhere. It doesn't matter if others think you're weird or not. It doesn't matter if you think you're weird, for that matter. I learned somewhere along the way what really matters is how comfortable you are in your own skin. Quit worrying about if you fit in or not. Let the company your in worry about that. If you're comfortable and confident in who you are, then there's not many places you can't walk in and feel like you're walking in your own home. A way to do that is not be a subject unto yourself. I took control of myself and made a "me" that I liked and wasn't always so critical of myself. Remember, not only are you master of your life, you're master of YOU.
Number 2 and 4 are so accurate. Till this day I still remember the stupid crap I did when I was a kid and literally quotes from videos and movies(holy shit how's this so accurate?). And the conversation one, if there's an intriguing or heated discussion, I'll relive that moment over and over, breaking down the nuances, the context, the "way" they said it etc... trying to justify or sometimes seeing a different angle of perspective on it. I'll be honest, sometimes I'll ponder on it throughout the whole day and in between other thoughts and it's kinda exhausting.
100% me. Now, I've decided to not socialise outside of work, live on my own and away from others. I can't be stuffed trying to make someone else comfortable because they think I'm weird. I got my own crap on and at this point, I can't be stuffed dealing with other "normal" people who are not the sort of people I need in my tribe. I don't trust people and I prefer to live off grid. Besides, who's going to miss the weird chick?
2:37 I forgot my bestie's birthday for the 3rd time in a row this September. But yes I do remember all the movie scenes and quotes that I have loved watching and I can remember every small plot point and scenes from books that I read and like.
No.2 is so true like i can remember song lyrics i heard a year ago and titles of books i read but i cant remember peoples birthday,age,date of birth or anything important about them even if their my friend or favourite family member
...I feel called out.... Like, really called out. On every point. ... I just now noticed that I'm not trying to fit social norms. Oups? Also, how come all those things are personality traits???!! I thought that was just me!
I’m not really sure if I am INFP but after doing the test and watching vids, especially this, I can say this video is 100% me. I don’t even believe it, but the people around me have been saying so.
I identify with all of these except for #7. I used to take a long time to open up to people, but then I went the opposite way, which is just as big a problem, if not more so. As for #1, my favorite high school French teacher used to say to me, "Lucie, vous etes toujours dans la lune!" This means literally, you are always in the moon. In English it's something like, you always have your head in the clouds. Which I did, and still do. RIP Madame Peterson ❤
The one about being on over own path and only able to be over selfs. It's so true I canot bend my morals to others and I know we live ind a world of gray but it really hurts. It's like it's causing me emotional damage to go agenst my heart.
I’m apart of an Aquarius group on Facebook and I had them take the personality test and it was over 200 comments. About 95% of the answers were INFP ❤ INFP are definitely a lot of Aquarius ♒️ ❤
As an INFP-T person, I wish I could send this video to my 10-11 year old self crying because I felt so different than other kids, I was really sensitive and I had my own words.
Never heard before that INFP are close minded when it comes to other people's opinions or ideas. Where did you get that from? Personally I couldn't care less about someone else having different opinion than me, in fact, I even like hearing their opinions and try to understand them. After all INFP are perceiving, meaning they are adaptable and open-minded.
Chronic daydreamer, and proud. It's better than the real world. Don't interrupt my thoughts. Hey, these traits are not weird, they are superior. I'm autistic also, so I get a double whammy of specialness. I never forget my kid's birthdays. I just forget names, and dates in general, because it's information overload. Not belonging in a world that is completely dysfunctional, is a sign of being sensible. We are intelligent, honest, authentic, and highly principled, which means our ideas are obviously better, and we can be trusted. People should listen to us more. Social norms are stupid. Small talk is excruciating. People jump into intimate situations too fast, and that's gross, and leads to bad things. Taking your time is what more people should do. This video is only convincing me that more people should be like us. We're not weird, everyone else is.
#2 Scared me ;( I can't even remember people's name but I remember that I had a dream where I met this very very beautiful girl on the 16th September 2018
I feel like I totally get it as an INFJ/Me! Same but slightly different. Must put everything in my Calender AND this is critical, Journal and review the entries regularly!
@@PsychologyRefresh the one is a genius and extremely introverted . A musician and a writer who can only do things his way. The other is also a great musician but he appears more adaptable and social and works in IT at a university . They are great friends and share weird humor and movies and are both very creative and technical. Both very kind and don’t like to mess with people but they hate people telling them what to do and never listen.
@@lindamcgillin2263 Thank you so much for sharing! INFPs have a lot of great qualities, we've highlighted their biggest strengths here ---> ruclips.net/video/KF7FCDfFPMI/видео.html
Always that awkward feeling when someone greets you excitedly and you have absolutely no clue who they are or where you met... Or like that one time at uni, where I met a guy after a course in the hallway. He was looking and smiling at me, so I introduced myself to him. And he just stared at me for a while and then said: "Yeah, we met. Just in there. We talked for 30 minutes or so?" I swear, as soon as people walk out of the door, I seem to forget their faces...
Remembering only unimportant things? That sounded bad. All we remember is important to us. I may forget some birthdays because I don't care about mine at all, just like any holidays. A flaw in school and parenting in my opinion is that people tend to want kids to be alike. And if a child is not compatible with the teaching... sorry, the teaching is incompatible(!), then problems will arise. In elementary school I was told to meet the school psychologist, because I often forgot the monthly money for eating in school and didn't really do homework. He said he's never had a patient with such good memory. He asked me to repeat random number sequences. We stopped at 6, then I had to say them in reversed order. He finally said 7 numbers but didn't wait for my response. I answered and wanted to keep going, but he told me to go back to attend class. Edit: I did enjoy the video.
funnily enough, i’m actually great with names and faces and dates, but the random movie quotes and specifically remembering what color shirt i was wearing on the day i went to the mall three years ago is also something that happens frequently
This is really relatable especially when overanalyzing past conversation i'll always think " did he meant it in a mean way?" "Did she meant it in a flirty way" but the only exception that i cant relate to is that Infp's cant accept other visions
As an infp the daydreaming is on point i swear whenever i day dream i get so sucked into it that i forget where the hell i am Another thing is the conversation its really spot on its usually when i mess up on a word or said something weird ESPESIALLY WITH ARGUEMENTS i cannot tell you how many times i have replayed a arguement so that i could see what i shoudev done
I'm an infp according to hundreds of tests I took over the years.. I think I fare better in the memory part than most INFPs since I can remember faces (still not entirely familiar with all my current blockmates tho) and even my friends say I have a good memory but I had episodes of forgetfulness that still haunt me every once in a while
At office I was imagining that an enemy fighter is attacking us and I am the first person to see it recognise it and alert to our military and I was so immersed that I even started making whispering plane noise and staring to the window untill person sitting next to me though I was saying something to him and that woke me up.
I'm really good at remembering people's birthdays but I think it is because I feel it's important. I'm very focused and committed to things I like or think is important and awfully forgetful about things that are not as important 😅
I'm an INFJ, but i share a lot of characteristics with INFP, like creativity, daydreaming, high sensitivity to name a few. My partner is an INFP, and so was my therapist. INFPS = forgetful (I would describe it as head in the clouds, instead of mindfully in the moment, either from being bored, or distracted by creative imagination), predictably awkward in social settings, and also uniquely awesome at the same time, and very empathetic, caring, and astonishingly protective/loyal: D I think the weird side of both types, and personality similarities go well together, and it is A LOT like a Seinfeld episode. Both INFP women I've known have helped me a lot to find balance, reconnect with personal identity, and encourage positive changes/growth. Despite certain shortcomings, I like you INFP's a lot, and appreciate your uniqueness from the rest of society!
i used to be an intp like YEARS ago when I last took the test, but I retook it 2 times and it says on both that I am an infp! and I find that the descriptions with infp to be extremely relatable :3
Well, I tend to think that understanding on personality differences, MUCH earlier in life would help INFP people and those who get close to them. As an older person now, with three main relationships in my past, all of which had merit, I prefer now to live alone. I like the interaction with people I get in shops or dog walking. It is often sincere and real, due to the presence of animals, or due to the way the world is moving, but I do not want any permanent intimate relationships. Old friends, I can see or email now and then but I do not do it much. And like Allen mentions below, he is unlikely to recall a face or a name the next day if he just met the person. I am this way as well. Now that I understand how my differences are more rare than I first thought, and how I do not need people in the same way many do, it opened up a greater appreciation for me for having these traits. And, I can value others for their differences too, in small doses though. Learning is a huge passion, creating, reading, analyzing and challenging my own thinking and that of others is a constant. And a way for me to learn more and learn better. Seeing and hearing why people feel and think about things is useful and brings more understanding.
#1. Where am i? #2. i have a visual imagination in the sense that i can flawlessly play back scenes from movies or create my own. #3. Agree, i set certain boundaries for myself or beliefs that i won't break for anything that life throws at me. #4. Totally agree and cannot highlight this one enough! #5. My ideals, are my ideals. If you don't share the same thats fine, but i stick to my own. #6. i believe in my own vision or standards, but, i would love to hear other visions or beliefs. #7. i am private because i strongly believe that i should protect myself due to an underlying 'problem'. its called Asperger. #8. i still dont really know how i should blend in.. can i just be myself? thanks for not judging me. i feel awkward enough as it is.
If society is a matrix, then infp consciously try to "fill" places or entities, that seem too empty. Most other types just exist, filling them. Then INFP cones and find the least important nail to fix everything.
that's so true... but it's still safe, take it easy... because with experience and age, strange habits will be controlled without anyone else noticing it
I live a whole other life in my head. I have times I am outgoing and love to party and be outgoing, but I treasure being by myself. If I had to wait on people to do things with, Id never leave my house. I hate answering the phone when I am into something and I don't call back. Its very frustrating for my friends for they have done nothing.

Same, I haven't been in a romantic relationship in years but I tend to be closer to the oversharing type, also with my friends I have always been myself and not tried to hide things away, I get to really deep conversations quite early on!
I agree, it's either one or the other
هذا ما كنت اود قوله بالضبط فنحن اذا دخلنا في علاقة نود ان نكون مثاليين فيها ومن الصعب ان نخرج منها خوفا من كسر الطرف الثاني لذلك نكشف عن كل اوراقنا في الوهلة الولى😊
Same !! I put on a disclaimer early on.
The things we are good at remembering are not wholly "unimportant." Even if they seem that way to others, they are important from our point of view because we can see connections that other people cannot. We remember those things because they help us understand things more thoroughly. Also, Idk if other INFP's do this, but I purposefully don't try very hard to memorize things that I can just as easily keep available in writing. This helps me free up more space in my conscious mind for problem solving. Why would I memorize all these birthdays if I can put them in a calendar and set reminders for myself? It would be like memorizing all the phone numbers in my phone.
I took a test given to me by someone and it said that I'm am an INFP. After watching this video I'm more convinced about the result because many of these points sound exactly like me. Except for remembering entire movie scripts. Stand out lines, sure. But who doesn't do that?
Thank you for bringing up your perspective!
Love my infp tribe🦋
Great personality!
@@PsychologyRefresh I agree. As a raging infp, lol, I have to say that the world needs the infp tribe more than ever, in my opinion. This world, many times I have told myself, out loud (🤣) I am not made for this nasty place, needs our personality type to come out of our comfy, self soothing, daydreaming, lacking in self worth selves and help awake shakey, asleep, zombie like comatose state people are in and help society pull their heads out of their "bleep", live where people can see us and teach how to care a little about love, communicating and not being a selfish, neurotic and self absorbed self...
Holy cow! Sorry, I got away with my thoughts...
Yikes.🤣 What was the topic again?
@@yellowswallowtail33 Thanks for sharing! Check out the INFPs' strengths ---> ruclips.net/video/KF7FCDfFPMI/видео.html
I definitely suck at remembering birthdays and names while I can remember faces.
I'm INFP and probably a little autistic, and my main struggle in life is the constant strain of feeling awkward in social interactions. I feel perfectly fine, going about my day thinking about everything that needs to be thought about, and then just buying a coffee and not knowing how to interact with the cashier brings it all down.
"as if they must act a specific way in order to fit in"
... honestly its sad that this is accurate, i "fit in" with them now, because i curse more and help them on their homework... its sad how people just switch when you help them on their own benefits 😞
Thank you for bringing up your perspective!
This is human nature. You get back what you put in. friendship is an economy and everyone has to bring something to the marketplace.
INFP and proud!

Pride is a poison
@@ErikAdalbertvanNagel Always?
@@PsychologyRefresh Yes, it makes you blind. However acknowledging your strenghts and don't let other people drag you down is not the same as pride.
@@ErikAdalbertvanNagel Interesting! Thank you for sharing this.
That's why I don't need VR! I already have an imaginary world I live in 😂
;)
LOL I actually got a VR to experience *real* things that I'll probably never get to do: like space/the ISS, distant locations...
Idk why but as an infp, I’m really relieved that almost every infp seems to be like me. I could cry Omg
Iam infp. It's hard for me to fit anywhere. I feel suicidal from years. I feel like I don't belong anywhere.
Thanks for sharing!
:( I also feel constantly judged and seen as weird
As an INFP who's been around the block like 1-1/2, 1-3/4 times, lemme tell you, you belong everywhere. It doesn't matter if others think you're weird or not. It doesn't matter if you think you're weird, for that matter. I learned somewhere along the way what really matters is how comfortable you are in your own skin. Quit worrying about if you fit in or not. Let the company your in worry about that. If you're comfortable and confident in who you are, then there's not many places you can't walk in and feel like you're walking in your own home. A way to do that is not be a subject unto yourself. I took control of myself and made a "me" that I liked and wasn't always so critical of myself. Remember, not only are you master of your life, you're master of YOU.
Number 2 and 4 are so accurate. Till this day I still remember the stupid crap I did when I was a kid and literally quotes from videos and movies(holy shit how's this so accurate?).
And the conversation one, if there's an intriguing or heated discussion, I'll relive that moment over and over, breaking down the nuances, the context, the "way" they said it etc... trying to justify or sometimes seeing a different angle of perspective on it. I'll be honest, sometimes I'll ponder on it throughout the whole day and in between other thoughts and it's kinda exhausting.
100% me. Now, I've decided to not socialise outside of work, live on my own and away from others. I can't be stuffed trying to make someone else comfortable because they think I'm weird. I got my own crap on and at this point, I can't be stuffed dealing with other "normal" people who are not the sort of people I need in my tribe.
I don't trust people and I prefer to live off grid. Besides, who's going to miss the weird chick?
Thanks for sharing!
2:37 I forgot my bestie's birthday for the 3rd time in a row this September.
But yes I do remember all the movie scenes and quotes that I have loved watching and I can remember every small plot point and scenes from books that I read and like.
Thanks for sharing!
INFP have extroverted intuition not introverted.
True, thanks for the correction!
No I’m an infp I don’t have extrovert intuition
@@st4r336 What do you have then?
@@PsychologyRefresh introverted intuition
@@st4r336 Are you sure you are an INFP?
I agree with all of them except #2 forgetting birthdays. I make an effort to remember Birthdays. I guess because I want people to remember mine.
Do they remember yours?
Some people do
I can’t remember names for the life of me it’s really annoying
I'm an infp. I love people but don't talk to me too much. Im imagining my way out a crisis
As being an INFP and a Gemini.. ye daydreaming is accurate
;)
Infp here, I can for sure relate to everything that has being said in the video 😭😂 sometimes I really feel like I don't belong in this world fr...
Okay!
“Can’t remember birthdays and dates..”
Well that explains a lot.. i thought I was just careless :o
This is one of the most accurate descriptions ever
Scarily accurate.

@@PsychologyRefresh Ok. Just went there and listened. I left a comment.
@@helenablavatsky9136 Thank you!
Man, as an INTP on multiple tests, this weirdly hits too close to home...
No.2 is so true like i can remember song lyrics i heard a year ago and titles of books i read but i cant remember peoples birthday,age,date of birth or anything important about them even if their my friend or favourite family member
Thank you for bringing up your perspective!
...I feel called out.... Like, really called out. On every point. ... I just now noticed that I'm not trying to fit social norms. Oups? Also, how come all those things are personality traits???!! I thought that was just me!
Thank you for bringing up your perspective! Check out this playlist ---> bit.ly/3SGIuR1
I’m not really sure if I am INFP but after doing the test and watching vids, especially this, I can say this video is 100% me. I don’t even believe it, but the people around me have been saying so.
I'm a INFP and I think it's great.
As an INTJ, I have learned that I communicate best with an INFP.
I'm an infp & I remember almost everyone's birthday once I know what it is: acquaintances as well as friends. I pretty much never forget a face either
I identify with all of these except for #7. I used to take a long time to open up to people, but then I went the opposite way, which is just as big a problem, if not more so.
As for #1, my favorite high school French teacher used to say to me, "Lucie, vous etes toujours dans la lune!"
This means literally, you are always in the moon. In English it's something like, you always have your head in the clouds. Which I did, and still do.
RIP Madame Peterson ❤
I'm exactly the same - it took a long time for me to open up and now I overshare A LOT. And get anxious and overanalyze it afterwards 😂🙈
The one about being on over own path and only able to be over selfs. It's so true I canot bend my morals to others and I know we live ind a world of gray but it really hurts. It's like it's causing me emotional damage to go agenst my heart.
Thank you for sharing this!
Totally agree with all points 😅

I’m apart of an Aquarius group on Facebook and I had them take the personality test and it was over 200 comments. About 95% of the answers were INFP ❤ INFP are definitely a lot of Aquarius ♒️ ❤
That is awesome!
Haha no way I am an INFP Aquarius and always wondered if both was somewhat correlated
@@Anonymama it definitely has to be!! I believe it is!
I was just thinking how the infp reminds me of the Aquarius sign and what it values. I'm not an Aquarius Sun but it is my moon sign.
Welp, I’m an Aquarius too lol
As an INFP-T person, I wish I could send this video to my 10-11 year old self crying because I felt so different than other kids, I was really sensitive and I had my own words.
I agree so much at the overanalyzing past convos and awkwardness 😭
Never heard before that INFP are close minded when it comes to other people's opinions or ideas. Where did you get that from? Personally I couldn't care less about someone else having different opinion than me, in fact, I even like hearing their opinions and try to understand them. After all INFP are perceiving, meaning they are adaptable and open-minded.
I always forget these weird acronyms, but the description seems to fit. I like the sound of "Mediator".
Chronic daydreamer, and proud. It's better than the real world. Don't interrupt my thoughts. Hey, these traits are not weird, they are superior. I'm autistic also, so I get a double whammy of specialness. I never forget my kid's birthdays. I just forget names, and dates in general, because it's information overload. Not belonging in a world that is completely dysfunctional, is a sign of being sensible. We are intelligent, honest, authentic, and highly principled, which means our ideas are obviously better, and we can be trusted. People should listen to us more. Social norms are stupid. Small talk is excruciating. People jump into intimate situations too fast, and that's gross, and leads to bad things. Taking your time is what more people should do. This video is only convincing me that more people should be like us. We're not weird, everyone else is.
I am so happy to not fit into social conventions. I am so happy to not, I appreciate me for my unique abilities and all of you should for yours too!
I once day dreamed on school and didnt notice its lunch time
;;)
#2 Scared me ;( I can't even remember people's name but I remember that I had a dream where I met this very very beautiful girl on the 16th September 2018
Interesting!
Why is this so ACCURATE
Glad to hear that!
This the most true thing i never heard on my Life
As an INFP, I have a hard time remembering names and dates. I feel bad because it takes me some time to remember someone's name or birthday.
Alright!
I feel like I totally get it as an INFJ/Me! Same but slightly different. Must put everything in my Calender AND this is critical, Journal and review the entries regularly!
overanalyzing past onversations is sooo trueee ....
Both my adult sons are INFP
What are they most visible traits?
@@PsychologyRefresh the one is a genius and extremely introverted . A musician and a writer who can only do things his way. The other is also a great musician but he appears more adaptable and social and works in IT at a university . They are great friends and share weird humor and movies and are both very creative and technical. Both very kind and don’t like to mess with people but they hate people telling them what to do and never listen.
@@lindamcgillin2263 Thank you so much for sharing! INFPs have a lot of great qualities, we've highlighted their biggest strengths here ---> ruclips.net/video/KF7FCDfFPMI/видео.html
The last one, never heard it explained so well! I always wondered why I'm so awkward
Always that awkward feeling when someone greets you excitedly and you have absolutely no clue who they are or where you met...
Or like that one time at uni, where I met a guy after a course in the hallway. He was looking and smiling at me, so I introduced myself to him. And he just stared at me for a while and then said: "Yeah, we met. Just in there. We talked for 30 minutes or so?" I swear, as soon as people walk out of the door, I seem to forget their faces...
Remembering only unimportant things? That sounded bad. All we remember is important to us. I may forget some birthdays because I don't care about mine at all, just like any holidays. A flaw in school and parenting in my opinion is that people tend to want kids to be alike. And if a child is not compatible with the teaching... sorry, the teaching is incompatible(!), then problems will arise.
In elementary school I was told to meet the school psychologist, because I often forgot the monthly money for eating in school and didn't really do homework.
He said he's never had a patient with such good memory.
He asked me to repeat random number sequences. We stopped at 6, then I had to say them in reversed order. He finally said 7 numbers but didn't wait for my response. I answered and wanted to keep going, but he told me to go back to attend class.
Edit: I did enjoy the video.
INFPs have a good memory ..I remember everyone else's birthday .
🙄.
2 is not true !❌
#2 So true and relatable, i can remember about my last enemy in game last 4 years ago, but i'm always hard to remembering my working schedule, lmao.
funnily enough, i’m actually great with names and faces and dates, but the random movie quotes and specifically remembering what color shirt i was wearing on the day i went to the mall three years ago is also something that happens frequently
This is really relatable especially when overanalyzing past conversation i'll always think " did he meant it in a mean way?" "Did she meant it in a flirty way" but the only exception that i cant relate to is that Infp's cant accept other visions
i did the MBTI test an i got INFP.i could not believe on my eyes when i saw the #2 thing.
As an infp the daydreaming is on point i swear whenever i day dream i get so sucked into it that i forget where the hell i am
Another thing is the conversation its really spot on its usually when i mess up on a word or said something weird ESPESIALLY WITH ARGUEMENTS i cannot tell you how many times i have replayed a arguement so that i could see what i shoudev done
I’m always floating along in my own mind..I’m very scattered and definitely procrastinate. I’ve literally never even found my calling. Ever.
I am so terrified that this is so accurate
Nothing to be scared of.. it's a beautiful world of our own making
I'm an infp according to hundreds of tests I took over the years.. I think I fare better in the memory part than most INFPs since I can remember faces (still not entirely familiar with all my current blockmates tho) and even my friends say I have a good memory but I had episodes of forgetfulness that still haunt me every once in a while
At office I was imagining that an enemy fighter is attacking us and I am the first person to see it recognise it and alert to our military and I was so immersed that I even started making whispering plane noise and staring to the window untill person sitting next to me though I was saying something to him and that woke me up.
Lmao this is so relatable 😂
People always thought I was weird I'm just plugged in with the Youniverse ✨👁️👽👁️✨
I'm really good at remembering people's birthdays but I think it is because I feel it's important. I'm very focused and committed to things I like or think is important and awfully forgetful about things that are not as important 😅
i was thinking im just dumb. All these 5 years... Thank you
This video resonated with me so much on so many levels!
I'm an INFJ, but i share a lot of characteristics with INFP, like creativity, daydreaming, high sensitivity to name a few. My partner is an INFP, and so was my therapist. INFPS = forgetful (I would describe it as head in the clouds, instead of mindfully in the moment, either from being bored, or distracted by creative imagination), predictably awkward in social settings, and also uniquely awesome at the same time, and very empathetic, caring, and astonishingly protective/loyal: D I think the weird side of both types, and personality similarities go well together, and it is A LOT like a Seinfeld episode. Both INFP women I've known have helped me a lot to find balance, reconnect with personal identity, and encourage positive changes/growth. Despite certain shortcomings, I like you INFP's a lot, and appreciate your uniqueness from the rest of society!
i used to be an intp like YEARS ago when I last took the test, but I retook it 2 times and it says on both that I am an infp! and I find that the descriptions with infp to be extremely relatable :3
Me: Wow I relate to this lol.
Also Me: What if I'm just confusing myself for an infp and am trying to fit myself to these descriptions. ;-;
;)
HOLD UP. i was thinking bout this
Sometimes I even forget my own name. This video is so accurate!
Well, I tend to think that understanding on personality differences, MUCH earlier in life would help INFP people and those who get close to them. As an older person now, with three main relationships in my past, all of which had merit, I prefer now to live alone. I like the interaction with people I get in shops or dog walking. It is often sincere and real, due to the presence of animals, or due to the way the world is moving, but I do not want any permanent intimate relationships. Old friends, I can see or email now and then but I do not do it much. And like Allen mentions below, he is unlikely to recall a face or a name the next day if he just met the person. I am this way as well. Now that I understand how my differences are more rare than I first thought, and how I do not need people in the same way many do, it opened up a greater appreciation for me for having these traits. And, I can value others for their differences too, in small doses though. Learning is a huge passion, creating, reading, analyzing and challenging my own thinking and that of others is a constant. And a way for me to learn more and learn better. Seeing and hearing why people feel and think about things is useful and brings more understanding.
#1. Where am i?
#2. i have a visual imagination in the sense that i can flawlessly play back scenes from movies or create my own.
#3. Agree, i set certain boundaries for myself or beliefs that i won't break for anything that life throws at me.
#4. Totally agree and cannot highlight this one enough!
#5. My ideals, are my ideals. If you don't share the same thats fine, but i stick to my own.
#6. i believe in my own vision or standards, but, i would love to hear other visions or beliefs.
#7. i am private because i strongly believe that i should protect myself due to an underlying 'problem'. its called Asperger.
#8. i still dont really know how i should blend in.. can i just be myself? thanks for not judging me. i feel awkward enough as it is.
If society is a matrix, then infp consciously try to "fill" places or entities, that seem too empty. Most other types just exist, filling them. Then INFP cones and find the least important nail to fix everything.
As this personality type iam not afraid to express myself or my opinions
WHAT IS YOUR SECRET HOW ARE YOU CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO DO THAT
that's so true... but it's still safe, take it easy...
because with experience and age, strange habits will be controlled without anyone else noticing it
I live a whole other life in my head. I have times I am outgoing and love to party and be outgoing, but I treasure being by myself. If I had to wait on people to do things with, Id never leave my house. I hate answering the phone when I am into something and I don't call back. Its very frustrating for my friends for they have done nothing.
