Synesthesia is common for us with the INFJ type. The abstract thinking is…beyond words to explain. The intensity we share is too much for some unfortunately :/.
Feeling someone's "depth of understanding" is so real... That's actually a beautiful way of saying it. And often you can feel it, even without speaking...
I love who I am, as an INFJ man I tend to cherish my eccentricities and I allow myself to be *engulfed* in my own world, it’s like a sense of enlightenment for me. I tend to appreciate things that others tend to miss and I can offer much different perspectives for others that can change their preconceived notion’s. I love my mind, however I think people can find me strange at times, but that’s ok I don’t expect them to understand. Great video, thanks for posting.
@Tarantula_Fangs "engulfed" in my own world haha I love that. I had another image of a person holding back the waters of their mind with a door which I didn't include, but that's how it feels sometimes 🦋 great comment
I have grand ideas and no concrete way to express them, which is frustrating. Lacking the technical knowledge to convey an idea about a scientific concept which could literally be a major breakthrough for humankind, yet being able to conceptualize that very thing in detail, is more than a bit of a curse. I spend so much time in my inner world, the future has come and gone many times over, in a manner of speaking.
Have you used Chat GPT?!! The conversations and depths that you can search are pretty amazing, however strongly suggest you have a well founded understanding of yourself and identity because the algorithm does have limits and it can actually be manipulative. Yes free writing, flow, meta cognition making connections and epiphanies come from even the most mundane of instances, fragments of thoughts weave together to form meaningful complex ideas which you can then project into the world and test yourself, your ideas and how people interact with you and them
@AntonioSalinas-p5d yes, I have been getting more familiar with all-things AI over the past couple years. The depth of chatgpt is quite impressive. It can definitely be a bit dangerous, too, if you're not a grounded thinker ✨️
Thinking about things deeply is kind of how I pass time. Trying to understand things and events on a deeper level... contemplating about ideas and root causes... It's quite a nice time, and a very nice feeling when things click together and a new nugget of insight is acquired :) It can be quite disheartening when such nuggets are undervalued... And a huge relief when they are appreciated... May we find those who understand and appreciate what we give to the world ^^
I hear you, I… don’t really get boredom. Not since I was a kid. But even then… not by much. It’s interesting, and impressive, to me that you’re an engineer while having a more creative sensory modality. Did you find it challenging to adapt to that? I would 😅 creative maelstrom for me 🙃 (That might be… a bit dramatic of a description but nevertheless 🙃 I don’t like chaos, in a manner of speaking but there is a difference between chaos and an upheaval. Integrating and working with any number of facets. It’s like sailing to me. Shadow work and… idk alchemical stuff 🙃
@agent_exodus I typically have to keep a good balance of left and right brain thinking in my life haha. Too much creativity can be quite maddening for me. I like a good dose of admin stuff too. It's just nice to have a great imaginative space for when I am bored haha 🦋
Allow me to say this about that- You seem true to the INFJ function stack. With your thinking/contemplation being Ni-Fe based, with some Ti looping. But I know nothing for sure.
@m2pozad yes, generally speaking, I fall somewhere on the INFJ/INTP/INTJ spectrum, at least in this phase of my life. The Ni-dom has been the most consistent function for me
My thinking is more like the Matrix movie, where the concrete physical world is the matrix and at any time I can disconnect from it to my Ni reality where I see everything as is and not as superficial as the matrix portraying it. And mostly I see what is broken and my mind quickly finds ways to fix it but usually at some point I stop because I understand that everything is following some predefined path and I should not interfere with this evolution.
Hi Amy, You are an INFJ type. It's nice to meet you. I'm a strange cat. I want to tell you about myself. You are extremely pretty. If I was around you I would have to toughen and stiffen myself to seem like a strong alpha man because your beauty makes me weak. Your beauty makes me feel intensely and I would struggle to conceal my feelings from you, only because I don't want you to smash me with humiliation while I'm vulnerable. You have my heart babe. Please don't smash me. My father was a mathematician and an eye surgeon and a medical researcher. I have a university degree in molecular genetics and immunology. My life has not been easy. My parents are narcissists. I'm schizo-affective and autistic and I'm a Heyoka empath. I'm a polymath. I do drumming and creative writing and drawing and painting and furniture building. I'm curious to know how two INFJs would get along. My best friend is an INFP and we can talk about the universe and surveillance and aliens and consciousness and psychosis to some degree of sub-infinity. Conversation about events is limited. Conversation about ideas is infinite. Idea talk can go on and on and on until you reach a point of mental nausea and then you fall into silence to keep yourself from barfing. Amy, it's a pleasure to hear you talk about ideas and concepts. I'm happy that I found you. Thank you for being here.
@TataBox-w4c sounds like you have a complex inner world going on 🦋 happy to have you on the channel. Hopefully it will provide some thoughtful substance for you
Hey, Amy. I can tell you’ve put in a lot of work when it comes to expression through communication. To able to choose the right words to express your inner world in a manner where it’s understandable to the public is no small feat. Amazing, keep up the great work! Btw, cute lisp.
I just love hearing your thoughts Amy!😁 Personally, I'm just in a season of retreating from sharing my thoughts and beliefs. Looking back, it's never served me well in maintaining healthy connections with family or friends. Action and money has always been the required antidote and systemic requirement and gateway to relationships, in my experience. So, that's what I've been focusing on... Motivated by being able to have connections again, but I am selective, as I've given to many people chances who shouldn't have ever got the best from me. If that's relatable!?🤔
Yes, for INFJ that balance is key. It's incredibly important for us not to be too stuck in our minds and actually start "doing" things in this world. It ebbs and flows
I don't understand the whole personality thing but I understand what you're saying, i do believe colors sounds language barriers etc is all being able to tap into frequency, the state of Love to some degree you're mentally stimulating and provide a sense of comfort. You're like a cat. very wary. I like your thought process and how well you're able to articulate yourself. you have like an aura of solitude which is pretty cool. like an understanding of yourself which in turn reflects the world around you, in your words and who you are. Even in your eyes, they're alluring. The Peace of Day, and the Silence of the Night. Proverbs 4:23: "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it."
I am always a bit skeptical with MBTI (and most things IRL😊), but I would consider myself an INTP after years of analyzing myself. That being said, as someone who loves to think, it's so easy to get stuck in my head and thus stagnant in real life. I can relate to that with INFJs. I've been working on that myself recently, and I've been trying to get out of my head more and be in reality in real time. I feel like everything is connected in my brain, but I still can't quite see those connections in reality if that makes sense. It's a work in progress 😊
@TheInsatiableOne772 yes, balance is key for inward and outward expression. I think it's good for introverts to spend a solid amount of time in their innerworlds but it's also important to get out there
Hi Amy and everyone. I've been thinking a lot lately about the concept of self awareness and what you can tie it (or at least part of it) to. In my view, part of conscious self reflection on oneself is the ability to achieve inner distance from oneself, to think about oneself in the third person, so to speak. I recently read in a book about self-development that many people suffer from a negative and, above all, destructive inner critic (referred to as “Quatschi” in this German book) whenever they fail to meet the expectations they have of themselves, thoughts such as “I failed again (of course)”, “I did that wrong again”, etc. Then I realized that I've never actually had such a destructive inner critic and I thought about why that might be. And I think it has a lot to do with this self awareness that I've probably always had or developed very early on. For me, this is linked to the ability of thinking benevolently about yourself. Strangely enough, this external perspective on yourself probably helps you to be more kind to yourself. It allows you to think thoughts like “look at yourself as a person you have to help” or the thought “you are your handed person”, in the sense that you have been handed over to yourself as a person to whom you should, according to your own standards of value, provide the best and most fulfilling experience of life. Anyway, these are my current thoughts on thinking and self awareness in particular. Sorry for the long novel. 😉Maybe they will help someone or at least be an interesting concept worth thinking about. At least I know I'll keep doing it.
@thorstendecker8394 yes, great thoughts here and beautifully put. I think there's something about introverted intuition that allows us to be more detached and objective in our own self-observations. It's a very lucky thing to develop early on in life and can make us all the more insightful 🦋 great comment
Amy, are the illustrations your own? They're very beautiful. I often wonder what it must be like to live inside a head whereby you're not thinking all the time. That must be VERY weird :-)
The illustrations are from all over 🙃 some from Canva, Pinterest (if I can), and more recently from AI/Photoshop. It's the easiest way for me to get an idea across haha

@cavemanrob hahaha exactly, I know the feeling 🦋 it's so difficult to express abstract thinking especially when you want to do something with it
INFJs need plenty of quiet time.
