Am I ever in hermit mode too right now. I think we do it because we need to heal ourselves if we’ve been hurt and assess our life decisions in complete isolation without input from anyone else. It helps us follow our hearts. I think there is beauty in going hermit :)
I'd say INFPs are good at starting things, but our attention switches and our mind races so much, we can have a hard time finishing things before jumping to our next crusade.
Someone who gets it! I think I'm an ambivert because I also enjoy being with certain people and can charge up around them but I will also get exhausted by people and need to be alone. Also do you talk to yourself? It sounds like you do just confirming because I audibly will talk to myself and work out my ideas all the time. Some people catch me at it but I usually brysh it off okay. I just don't know anyone else who talks to themself like I do having full on debates and stuff seeing all the sides. I think I may have argued with mtself a little before. I'm not crazy I swear.
Out of all the 4% in the world so many of us are gathered here...wow! I wish I met some in life maybe just maybe I’d finally have a heart to heart human connection. I’m in need of that and am tired of meaningless interactions
I've had once, I thought he was my soulmate, but this ISTP betrayed my trust in the worst kind of way. Now I'm just befriended myself instead of spending time and money to get the looong journey of finding and getting to know a person again. 😂😭
just another account I’d say we know ourselves better than most. But like a great scientist we look at the well that is human experience and realized we only know a small fraction of what this life is.
During a job interview. Me: I can explain things clearly. Them: No you're not. This was for a job in the IT, first line phone support. My personality was getting in the way to get job like that.
Hell when I took the personality type test (a second time) I wasn’t even sure if it’d be accurate cause I thought I’d answer the questions differently every time. Goes to show how much I don’t know bout myself 😅
I spend so much time in my own head I know myself inside and out. I don't always know what I want or why I want it but I listen to my gut (intuition) in the moment and examine why later. I understand other people a lot less but I trust myself and intuitively I think my first impression is usually spot on. I can tell when someone is just nervous or just arrogant for example. Maybe you should retake your test. If you don't know yourself very well, you may have gotten the wrong results.
INFP here, I have the same problem, I found that listening to guided meditations before sleep like the ones from the Honest Guys on youtube really helps me get to sleep faster. Check them out, they have a ton of videos. Also some sleep hygiene like ditching screens and lowering the lights an hour before sleep helps a lot.
@ILiketoReplytoOldComments Two doors opened when a drunk walked in, but other guy didn't come out. What happened to him? His pants were down while he died.
"They like the idea of human contact but not so much the reality of social contact" or as I like to call it :" I came out here to have a good time and I honestly feel so attacked right now"
Being an adolescent, I feel so out of place in social circles. People make fun of me for having "no friends" but that's only because I'm highly selective of who I give the title "friend" to. Growing up I wanted to be a writer, and now I'm very active in the art and design world. I always tell myself that if that doesn't work out I plan to go into psychology, so this was really spot on!
I tried Psychology, Loved the subject.. Could understand most things that were coming my way but don't think I can be a professional psychologist because my face will give out how I feel whether I want to or not
Me: want to have a bf after saw others in relationship Also me when someone likes me and want to get closer: pls don't interrupt my me-time i want to be alone
Omg this is me exactly. I love the idea of being in a relationship, having cute moments. But every time I’m with someone it lasts maximum 3 months because of this need to be alone.
As an INFP I have a hard time concentrating sometimes when I'm in my own world inside my head. And also I always try to find the deep meaning and cause of stuffs
Since we are smart we are able to see through the lies of the Jedi and the sith join me become balanced with the force and bring peace and Justice to the Galaxy and far outside of the outer rim!
Ugh me tooo! Days go by and all I did was philosophying about life instead of making art... I love art but with everything I love I mostly don’t see the point in them. It makes it hard for me to pursue anything for more than 6 months.
"INFPs are searching for the life's meaning." Me today, trying to learn something for school: I don't see a point in learning this stuff if I don't even know what life is about... *starts thinking for about few hours*
Beka Sikorová why I left school. Legit, studied for a month, aced my GED, got a diploma bc I aced it, went to work two jobs and had a much more fulfilling life at 17 and didn’t feel “stuck” anymore. I was the only one in my high school to have left and done that.
Beka Sikorová If i could go back to high school and it was my choice I would have gone to student choice. I didn’t make friends in school anyway and spending 8 hours a day somewhere that authentically makes you miserable is just to hard to bear.
I hated going to school. Although i do like the learning part, it’s a really stressful environment for me. I did well in college, got good grades and all, but i decided to quit and people thought i was being ridiculous. Idk, i just don’t see myself doing something professional? I’m still unsure of what i really want as a career and i have too many things i’m interested in like music production, visual design, psychology, etc. I struggle committing to anything because of my idealism and the moment i doubt myself, i decide that it’s not for me. I feel stuck and often question the point of it all.
im an infp and i honestly dont get how some people want to socialize all the time because i remember one time i spent the night with my friend and she wanted to do EVERYTHING together and the only time i had to myself was in the bathroom, but even then she wanted to talk to me. i distinctly remember getting a bad headache and my eye twitching by the time i got to go home
😂 lmao I’m crying it’s so true. I have a cousin who is like that, and she always wants me to spend the night. She wants me to hangout every day. Begs me to stay a while longer when I do visit. The first time I spent the night. I didn’t know which window to jump out of. I was having a meltdown. She txts me when I was in the 🚽🧻. 😂😂💀I cant 😂😂my eyes were twitching and my head was throbbing. I can only visit her once a month, and I’m pushing it.
Send Nudes 😂💀it gave me flashbacks when I read it. I was like omg poor baby I know your pain. You literally walk out feeling like you were in another planet, and lost yourself. I don’t know why it made me laugh so much. I cried. 😂😂
Same! They kept asking me like I don't have anything to do and need more friends. Bruh, I did it many times (10 times is already too much for INFP), and all they do is talking meaningless gossip about celebrity/other friend (what when who where how) than seeking further about WHY. Also too much quick judgements without looking at other perspective.
I was thinking the same thing about my dog I believe that she is the only one who truly understands me . I can say this because I am able to read her and connect with her feelings . I may write a book about it or maybe paint a picture of it
4% of whole humanity is a lot. When I realized that I didn't feel bothered about anymore. And also that so many ppl on comments show their appreciation and love to this very complicated type makes me rpersonally really happy because I often think that the way I am must be hard to get along if someone knows me better. But it seems that this awkwardness makes infps so lovable.
I am INFP: private, reserved, loves walking in nature, loves writing and creating stories, good in advicing other people, her peers' voice of reasoning, avoids crowds but loves her circle of friends, takes criticism personally; works as English and Japanese language tutor; graduated nursing.
I had to rewind this video about 50 times because almost everything he said lead to a trail of thoughts I had to follow. Realized every time that I hadn’t been paying attention for the last 10 seconds 😅 #INFPdaydreamerprobs
Yeah, that's me. I love deep, meaningfull conversations with the people i concider my friends (there r only few of them!) but hate just mindless blabbering with meaningles people (basically everyone else i don't know nor trust). Social events are just torture for me, and after a one i need "me-time" to get recharged in total solitude.
When I first took the test to see what personality I was INFP was mine and it seemed very accurate but I feel like we have a hard time trusting others with our feelings then how people trust their feelings with us. I mean people come to me all the time just to talk about how they feel or some secrets and if they need an opinion I do honestly speak in metaphors. It was kind of crazy how those were so accurate. And my imagination is through the roof but being alone is very calming. And being the odd one out is fun honestly it can be hard though because I have no one to relate to but I enjoy my company and my company with others. But when I am being judged, yup hermit mode is just straight back into my shell
I relate to that a lot. It’s weird seeing people say all the same things about themselves and then I’m also agreeing with it. I’m really good at giving people advice and looking at the bigger picture but knowing that others can’t do the same, I seclude myself and avoid talking about how I feel. I’m indecisive because I’d rather please more people around me than just one person and I hate it when some one tells me that I’m doing something wrong because it feels like I’ve really fucked up everything. And I couldn’t help but notice your Yoongi profile pic, so your even more relatable since your an ARMY. 😂😅
Yeah I completely understand. I always joke that "everyone and thier dog thinks I'm thier therapist." But I am so good at opening myself up to listening that people feel comfortable telling me thier darkest secrets and fears. Yeah, I give great advice to everyone else. I cannot take criticism. It just hurts my feelings and I'll disappear. Or I lash out. It's a struggle haha
"They're excellent at reading others' feelings, but they don't provide that same insight for themselves." I think this is flat out not true. Don't know about all INFPs but i think at least the majority of us can identify and examine our own feelings even more accurately than those of other peoples.
Mil K as an INFP, I think this statement is less about us not being able to identify our own feelings and more with us just not knowing how to handle our emotions
I’m INFP , most of my cherished memories are with only myself, I love my own company, I’ve been a painter my whole life and currently going to school to be a counselor! This video rings the bells of truth for me
When I was a child I played alot outside with my friends and never thought of being lonely and now I don't even have "real friends" anymore. It's so hard for me to build stable relationships.. every time when I think I got a new friend I ruin our relationship in less than half a year because I'm so distant and shy and awkward and that really lowers my self esteem.. Nowadays I don't even have the courage to try to build a healthy relationship because of so many people that left me even when I tried my best to become close with them 😞
Right I feel like I was more outgoing as a child. Idk I feel like most of the friends I make are from me not trying. Like acquaintances of friends I already have that develop into real friendships later on. Sometimes you just have to step outside your comfort zone and talk to strangers and people in general. The main problem is how we like to over analyze things in our heads before things become reality. Try to let loose and learn to laugh at yourself. At the end of the day it’s those few friends that we have whom are most important in our lives :)
Don’t be afraid to talk about your problems too. If a fight occurs communicate your way through it. We have to learn to speak up for ourselves and to explain our thoughts more clearly to others.
They alwasy say if it isnt working just try a new approach. You wont get different results doing the same things. Its no use blaming yourself or thinking youre not good enough because that not really the problem, the problem is what youre doing not whats in your head.
I love being an INFP. I feel like it is almost as if I got a special gift for being understanding and forgiving in ways that other non INFPs are not so understanding. It can be really hard in social settings and when it comes to holding down a job because socially I cannot commit to people. All of this is so true.
"INFP - I Never Find Perfection" This is very true for me. And it does not help that the slightest negative comment or action can irreversibly harm any project you do start and any progress you are making. It doesn't take much too second guess everything...
I'm having a hard time being an INFP because nobody understands you and often misunderstood our words. But I like it as well I'm always in my own world which never made me feel lonely. It's sure is a rare type .
I'm an INFP, and I have a problem. I don't usually have the desire to actively make friends with someone, it just..sort of happens. And here's the thing: I've met this great, inspiring person whom I really want to be friends with. How do I do that? There's no romance involved at all, I just want to get to know this person better. We talked and had a great raport, now I can't wait to talk more! But I really don't want to seem pushy or force myself on him. How does one make friends?
As this was posted a month ago, I'm not sure if you've managed to become closer friends yet. My advice, friendship is a two way street. If the other person truly is as into growing a friendship/relationship as you are, they will make the effort as well. It should not always be one sided, or there is no point (in my opinion) to continue trying to keep up the contact. Obviously, communication is the first step to any friendship. As you get closer with continued communication, then comes asking if they want to do something together or come to your place, or whatever. From there, you will be able to judge yourself whether the other person is wanting a friendship with you as you are with them. Being an INFP, you should be able to judge the situation. Just remember not to over think/analyze everything. I hope you find a life long friend for you ^.^
omg that is so true. all my friends that I’ve had, either I’ve been with them since I was young or...well, it just happened aha. I have no idea how to make friends either lol.
Hey, did you manage to get to know them better? In my experience I found that the fear of being pushy is often unfounded. Just use your best judgement, if it's always you calling them, maybe they're not interested and it may be best to leave them be, but if you never call first, they may think you're not interested.
Same. I love making stories in my head, too, I do it every night before sleep, sometimes I dreamed about those stories. When I got a good and detailed one, I write it into novels or fanfictions. 😁❤
Sometimes I need people to understand me but it's hard to find the right person include my family and I choose to being alone. I feel if there is something wrong with me.
Amazing how you feel drawn to people with the same personality type as yours..... I was always intrigued by other INFP's.... With others I often feel misunderstood which is really frustrating 😔
i underestimated the value of meeting another INFP and was contented with my friend group overall. but when i met this and got close to this girl in 9th grade, we just ✨clicked✨ and we literally tell each other all kinds of stuff and understand each other in a level not beyond but *different* from my friend group (don’t get me wrong i adore them and i love them still, they’re my soulmates in spite of the different personality traits). i love that we got to grow together and we give and take each other’s advice, we also push each other to be more “out there” because there are SO many things we are capable of and we both got LOTS to say and share to the world, we hold each other accountable for our mistakes and shortcomings-i’m just so happy that i found a fellow INFP that grants me this amazing and profound understanding and i hope all of you lovely INFP fairies get to meet yours too!! 🧚🏻♀️🧚🏻🧚🏼♂️
This video is so fricking true I'm a quiet person, who actually makes friends easy and loves to help people but not everyone can see me like I'm truly are, how I feel about things. I only tell that to people I'm very comfortable with, actually one of my best friends is also an INFP so that's probably why I feel comfy with her. In any case, I sometimes have ENTP tendencies, like being a real jokester, being really smart and also arguing with facts when someone is wrong without regrets But this is when I feel the person doesn't know me that much. I still feel more like a INFP since I still cry to "Donating to small streamers" videos
I'm an INFP which loves makes new friends I can be ENFP may be, but I don't like when it's too fast and much, I can't handle the situation such as in a party area. Cause it's pure chaos to me, I like being lonely and think alone. I love camping and travelling long distances far from my home with just a bicycle. Loneliness is good, I don't think I can marry with someone, I'm feeling like I'm on the Mars while living in this world. I can't do a certain job except translating/interpreting(btw this is what I'm actually studying), I left the engineering major and rejoin the college. I'm much happier than before. I'm more comfortable when I'm speaking English rather than Turkish. I have like 2 different opposite side, I'm an introverted in Turkish but when it comes to a foreign language I can be incredibly extroverted. I feel the poems, music or even art in my veins, thus leads me to somewhere which isn't existing in this world. Thus why I'm dancing, thus why I'm lonely, thus gives me something untold feeling. I feel the drama inside of me. It's like a theatre for one viewer. I'm also writing too much, as well as reading. I'm 21 and I've been in only one relationship whole my entire lifetime. I can't show my real emotions to the others even to my family and close friends. It's tragicomical. Thus why I'm writing poems and stories, it is the best way to show myself to the world. I don't think I can work on 9-5 slavery system. I'm not belonging anything. I can't love people even though some of are very clever and I'm interested with them. The love is inside my heart or mind; it's bigger than universes. I can forget things they did on me, I can refresh the page so quickly. I can forgive peoples so quickly. I don't hate, I can't hate. I don't want to harm anything, I'm an optimist as well as I'm a pessimist. I speak with people such a totally calmly way, I'm like an idle soul, i don't like fights, arguments. I don't like people which have "hate" on their heads. I'm like a hippie but I don't belong there too. I think I'm lost.
ömer kandemir i think you are trying to be extroverted because of the society that we live in. We need to be like that to survived. I’m also an INFP and i really struggle communicationg with my workmates because i’m a deep thinker and they dont understand me most of the time. I also felt lost in this society but not in this world, i like also things that related to art i write poems, i draw and paint and i also like classical musics. In a society that full of ego and greed i felt sometimes that its so tiring. That i need to save something or someone, i self doubt myself. Asking myself, why i’am like this and why i feel like this. But i realized through out the time that we dont need to feel guilty of ourselves, most of the people think that i’m boring, or not cool. So what? We play a huge part of this world, and our kinds have really deep care in this world and still believe in humanity. I know its confusing but i get the fully freedom with myself when i accept who i am. So maybe when you accept who you are. You will not be lost again or stuck.
I can relate myself to what you said a lot. It's hard to know ourselves. At this time I think I'm lost too. Nd yeah I figure it out my personality somehow switches between languages. I learn many languages. I can forget bad things people did to me, hate fights, arguments. I like something slow and gentle. I only prefer some people I like. For the rest I won't be comfy around them.
I think empathy is the most important trait you can have. Sometimes my empathy and emotions get the best of me, I want to fix everything. When I hear about something going wrong in the world, I will spend so much time wishing I could fix it, and strongly feel for those in the situation. Learning that I am an INFP makes me feel so much less alone!
INFP-T here. Second year of med school, fluent in four languages, songwriter, deeply in love with acting and also a published author. It's amazing how much you can tell from a persons persinality type.
I’m a graphic designer with an existential obsession and I study depth psychology in my spare time. Partying to me is staying home in my pj bottoms and searching google for things that pop into my head. 🤸🏼♂️🤣 INFP Pro tip: In a social situation where it appears someone may talk to you and you DO NOT WISH TO BE ENGAGED. Put your cell phone to your ear and say hello as you head towards an exit. Just make sure it’s on silent or you’ll turn 50 shades of red when that bastard rings while you’re pretending to talk on it.
"Partying to me is staying home in my pj bottoms and searching google for things that pop into my head." THIS IS LITERALLY ME. Looool. I don't even notice the time whenever I'm curious about things, I end up sleeping at 4am searching for Mariana Trench or something related to Psychology
I relate to this so heavily. I like a good party, but I prefer fewer people just having a good time. I also have an existential obsession (keeps me up like every single night) and I'm a musician so creative gang rise up :))
I’m an INFP and it explains me almost perfectly. I write poetry and am a special needs teacher for children with autism. I also really relate to the part about craving human interaction but shying away from too much social interaction. I’ve always done best one on one. And I’m definitely an idealist, if something doesn’t align with my core values and beliefs it’s really hard for me to deal with that, but at the same time I’m super understanding, compassionate, and empathetic. And lastly, I’m definitely a dreamer. Good video, thanks for posting ✨
infp/enfp ambivalent here. im a Nurse. Im quite happy about my career choice, even though i always am confronted to social interaction. Just alone the feeling to help heal someone elses life is what makes me truly happy :D
When I was younger, I had no clue what I wanted to be when I grew up. I still haven't really gotten to the point where I have to decide. A girl at my school who I considered an acquaintance/ friend at the time took her own life one day and at school the next day, it was announced, but I already knew since my friends told me. I sat and cried with my friends in what was considered "safe rooms", where councelors and therapy dogs were. I wasn't really comfortable about opening up to them, but I was super chill with petting dogs. The situation taught me how much I was fascinated with psychology, and made me think about careers. Since I had taken the test before, I knew I was a Mediator but I had no idea about the career paths. When I told my mom about me possibly wanting a career in psychology, she asked me what my career section said about it. I was in awe because it literally said "counselor" and "psychology". She told me to go for it. When I told my dad, he was confused. He didn't think that career choice would last since he didn't think the 16 personalities test was true. He simply said "no you don't." I'm sure he doesn't understand what a psychologist is lol
I’ve taken multiple mdti tests and they’ve all come back as intp, all of the characteristics that go along with it are very accurate to me, thanks for this breakdown. 😊
"they like the idea of human contact, but not so much the reality of social contact" This is exactly what I feel but I haven't been able to put it into words. This is a great video!
My best friend introduced me to one of his girl friends (mind the gap between those words) and we hit it off SO well when the three of us met for the first time, it was incredible. So much so, that by the second meet-up, the three of us dropped acid, despite my anxious ass usually avoiding doing that with ‚new people‘. It was one of the best trips I have ever had. A few days after, the girl posted an INFP meme on her story and I was like HOLD ON, so that’s why! I ended up asking my best friend about his type, he didn’t know. He took the test, and guess what? Exactly. 🙂😇
We'd all like to think so, but everyone has a dark side (Sweeney Todd, Phantom of the Opera, and Gollum (Smegal) are fictional villains that are INFP).
Dyed-in-the-wool infp. Seems like infps are either hugely accomplished or hugely underachieving. The ones that do the best are fanatic about their medium, less likely to try to do everything. That's why the successful infp is a rarity, unfortunately. We get excited by novelty and move from one thing to another. Statistically we make the least money and at least likely to marry. I was really good at being a child, being an adult not so much.
If you define success has having a lot of money and getting married, then yes you're right. But I'm sure most INFPs understand that career, status and marriage are just social constructs that can't be used to accurately gauge success.
Me: Hey mom can I go to the beach? Mom: It's raining outside. Me: I know. Mom: I guess you can go. Want to bring any friends? Me: NO. Mom: Okay then. Me: (leaves house) Mom: What have I raised.
Hey I feel like you really got me when you said 'reserved'. At least around people i dont know. My go-to mood in public if uncomfortable in any way is aloof. It doesn't earn me any friends lol! Also I am working to become a psychologist.
"INFP = I never find perfection" My soul is so called out right now. xDDD It is funny. I never knew Marshal was an INFP. My husband is essentially Ted. No wonder we are best friends. xD
I'm an INFP. I've had a 30+ year career in high tech sales and I've been elected to one local office, running for another now. I get things done faster than most so I can relax more often. I find myself working in bursts.
Yes yes yes ! I get so drained from social getherings even after one it takes days to recover , needing time alone away from people. I am extreemly sensitive , open minded , looking for meaning all the time , constantly daydreaming and love to write ! I am so happy my favourite character Anne of Green Gables is also a mediator! I also feel very odd compared to others , suffer with severe anxiety.
I love how if you go the personality test when you get your results they start every paragraph with a relating metaphor Even the one about how we like describing things in metaphors
I'm INFP, but I wish I had another type of personality. Ok, I'm proud of my language skills and my creativity, but I'm thinking too much sometimes. I take some comments too personally, and because of my sensivity it hurts me a lot. I wish i had more chill xd I mean it's tiring, when you take every joke to yourself. Also I see people don't find creativity valuable... (Sorry for my english, it's not a language which I use normally)
you just need to mature a bit more and think it through to its core to beat it. I used to be like that until i really trained myself to not take things personally. And there are many people who do find creativity valuable, maybe youve not found the right ones yet.
I have never seen a comment section in which I can relate so much too. It just feels so good to read your comments as it feel some like-minded thought exchange I was craving since eternity is kind of virtually met today
Spot on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am an INFP and you did a great job of explaining us. I really LOVE being on my own, although in my job as a teacher I am surrounded with people every day. That is why when I get home I just love the haven of being on my own and can recharge my batteries for the next day.
I always say that I have a social battery. I'm happy to talk and interact with people but as soon as it runs out I am done and want nothing to do with people.
Even as a teacher’s assistant, I feel the pressure. It’s difficult and I just want to hide under a rock when i need to speak to large crowds (of kids).
yeah this is what put me off...having like 30 kids to deal with per hour seems exhausting. i think being a one-on-one tutor or maybe doing online teaching would be good.
First things first: I love how you calmly pause for a second when you stumbled over a word and then simply repeat it. That's a really wonderful technique! It's allowing yourself to be human, not being apologetic about it and taking necessary measures to get the words accross ❤️ Please keep that lovable quality. I'm an INFP. Watching different INFP videos and reading about my cognitive stack is helping me a lot with settling into myself another bit more. I can skip some of the troubles in decision making, because I'm more clear on what feeds into my existence and what doesn't. Meaning I can let go of the question quicker whether something is indeed "not made for me" or if I'm faced with a struggle I'm supposed to learn to walk through or walk with! The distinction is really tricky when you aren't surrounded by "seniors" who walk life a similar way. We're not made to be similar. We're made to be inwardly triggered to explore and be a walking library of "greater picture". That's the "healing quality". We're collectors of shards of perspectives. And the ones to piece them into the puzzle to create short links for the people we recognise as capable of wielding this or that piece of information. Wisdom is power. Can't and shouldn't be gathered by ppl with ambitions. Can only be safely handed to ppl ready to walk the way (or part of way) that our given bit attempt to roughly map out. 🗺️👀
Do other INFPs also watch themselves type or blurt out a bout of words to then stare at them like ..... "Did... this really just come through me? I said that? Wow I didn't 'know' any of that myself before I said it 👀" It's like having to listen to myself because I, too, need my intuition to be translated to words before I can start processing them by mind. The un-/subconscious speaks and surprises my conscious with what it's been brewing up all this time 😅
I love that even though we are apparently 4% of the world's population, our curiosity and drive to learn has connected us. This is just beautiful, I wonder how great it would be to meet all of you. We are not alone :). Hope I find a cool and worthy friend soon.
i feel so happy and hugged when i see others infp like me quoting things that are exactly the how i feel... we could do something like a conference with infp it would be great
Im introverted af. I know myself very well, more than most. But when Im in social settings I seem to less all my confidence in myself because I compare to my extroverted counterparts.
Accurate and valuable information from this video! The profession I'm currently in consists of daily bureaucratic tedium, large groups of people, high stress situations, and by shifts end I'm left emotionally depleted. It usually takes a good 2 hrs of detachment and decompression before I'm ready for social contact again. As an independent musician, I tend to express myself in my writings and in my playing. No rules, no going against time or being pressured. Just you, and the free form the art allows.
Apparently I'm an infp-t I wish I had known this about myself in highschool, woulda helped so much. I was labeled the mysterious one I had 1 best friend. Not much has changed lol.
I've always dreamed of being a poet, I've written poetry since I was very young. I've written countless short stories. I'm not great, but it's my favorite thing to do. Anytime I feel like I'm losing myself I just right about the realities of my world. And how thought can effect the realities one may perceive. I love metaphors and philosophy
Am I the only one that feels like crying the whole time watching this? Been having rough time lately and this is just spot on understanding me. Wish I can tell people who misunderstand me to watch this, at the same time, I don't even have to do that.
Wow This explains why all people tells me I’m so talented. Even though I’m really not. I just kept trying new things that I’m passionate and excited about and just learn it. I also love nature! I just told my mom that I never dreamt of having a lot of money. I just want peace and i want to live right beside nature where I can feel the freedom. I took the 16personalitytest to find out what mine is. Turns out I am this! Every points just makes sense now. Wow.
I've been home without leaving for almost a year and just realised that I'm an INFP and honestly I've been daydreaming my whole life and I feel like I've been in my own world rather than being here in this world.

"they like the idea of human contact but no so much the reality of social contact" so spot on! I'm in hermit mode now haha
Same buddy
Sweevo sending you a INFP hermit hug😊
Same, i'm like an ULTRA hermit rn! ☺
it's like saying "it's only fun when it's on someone else"
Am I ever in hermit mode too right now. I think we do it because we need to heal ourselves if we’ve been hurt and assess our life decisions in complete isolation without input from anyone else. It helps us follow our hearts. I think there is beauty in going hermit :)
I'd say INFPs are good at starting things, but our attention switches and our mind races so much, we can have a hard time finishing things before jumping to our next crusade.
I always say I could give a room full of entrepreneurs each a million dollar idea... we need to team up with finishers. For sure.
@@Missy-Leigh lmao Yep. My fantasy is just making it rain on people in need, and then they can take it from there.
Omg SO TRUE
Yes!! I really have to push myself to finish something and I often fail.. but.. hope it is fine! :,)
So true wow
"Isn't being alone sad"
Heeeeeell nah, being alone leaves me and I to talk about my ideas with myself
even if said ideas/thoughts arent constructive and are possibly damaging
I laughed so hard at this lmfao it’s true!
Trueeeee
For an INFP, being alone is just solitude...being alone without being lonely. ❤
Someone who gets it! I think I'm an ambivert because I also enjoy being with certain people and can charge up around them but I will also get exhausted by people and need to be alone. Also do you talk to yourself? It sounds like you do just confirming because I audibly will talk to myself and work out my ideas all the time. Some people catch me at it but I usually brysh it off okay. I just don't know anyone else who talks to themself like I do having full on debates and stuff seeing all the sides. I think I may have argued with mtself a little before. I'm not crazy I swear.
Out of all the 4% in the world so many of us are gathered here...wow! I wish I met some in life maybe just maybe I’d finally have a heart to heart human connection. I’m in need of that and am tired of meaningless interactions
Maybe I’d find a good person if I actually was more social but the problem is I hate being social!! Irony
@@TheAdventuresofArhazo yeah I'd love a meaningful conversation sometime lol, never met one either
I am😋
I've had once, I thought he was my soulmate, but this ISTP betrayed my trust in the worst kind of way. Now I'm just befriended myself instead of spending time and money to get the looong journey of finding and getting to know a person again. 😂😭
Me too. I wish I could just meet someome like me who really understood me.
INFP's are notoriously hard to get to know, this is because we don't actually know ourselves very well.
just another account I’d say we know ourselves better than most. But like a great scientist we look at the well that is human experience and realized we only know a small fraction of what this life is.
During a job interview.
Me: I can explain things clearly.
Them: No you're not.
This was for a job in the IT, first line phone support. My personality was getting in the way to get job like that.
With the amount of time we spend in out heads you should be an expert on yourself, but hey I feel you.
Hell when I took the personality type test (a second time) I wasn’t even sure if it’d be accurate cause I thought I’d answer the questions differently every time. Goes to show how much I don’t know bout myself 😅
I spend so much time in my own head I know myself inside and out. I don't always know what I want or why I want it but I listen to my gut (intuition) in the moment and examine why later. I understand other people a lot less but I trust myself and intuitively I think my first impression is usually spot on. I can tell when someone is just nervous or just arrogant for example.
Maybe you should retake your test. If you don't know yourself very well, you may have gotten the wrong results.
I'm an INFP and all of this is true, except that I analyze the heck out of my own feelings too, not just other peoples.
Even I do that! We are not alone!
Well I have to agree,but I find myself stuck in the other world from time to time😊so still I do not know what I feel somethimes
I'm moody, so analyzing my own feelings would be a spend of time in vain. I'd rather analyzing others.
same here. self reflection: 100.
woop
Same here.
being INFP is really hard for me. My mind keep on talking, I can't sleep because of it.
Try writing stuff down. It helps me when my mind is racing and eventually puts it to sleep so i can sleep.
@die Herrin der Matschpfütze bester name ever xD
I'm realizing that as infps mature we realize that meditation is the answer.
INFP here, I have the same problem, I found that listening to guided meditations before sleep like the ones from the Honest Guys on youtube really helps me get to sleep faster. Check them out, they have a ton of videos. Also some sleep hygiene like ditching screens and lowering the lights an hour before sleep helps a lot.
wait a minute,that's not normal?
Being an INFP means that you’re the one that your friends come to with all of their problems
error404 Yessssssssss
Truee.. even they're not my close friends, I still know their secrets
Soo true. People have always come to me when they need to talk through stuff. INFPs are basically therapists.
error404
Nah not really for me
Always 😔✊
He forgot that we’re funny as hell.
@ILiketoReplytoOldComments Two doors opened when a drunk walked in, but other guy didn't come out. What happened to him?
His pants were down while he died.
I’m the only one who thinks I’m funny
@@Limitlesshigh That's the hell part, we're funny but it's so agonizingly bad that people don't understand.

Say yeah! Let's be alone together~~
Fall out boy mah bois check the song out pretty sweet

That is an idea lol!
"They like the idea of human contact but not so much the reality of social contact" or as I like to call it :" I came out here to have a good time and I honestly feel so attacked right now"
Same
SAME !!
SOOO damnn truee
I think this is my favourite use of this sentence.
😁
Being an adolescent, I feel so out of place in social circles. People make fun of me for having "no friends" but that's only because I'm highly selective of who I give the title "friend" to. Growing up I wanted to be a writer, and now I'm very active in the art and design world. I always tell myself that if that doesn't work out I plan to go into psychology, so this was really spot on!
Kathleen Williams I understand you
I tried Psychology, Loved the subject.. Could understand most things that were coming my way but don't think I can be a professional psychologist because my face will give out how I feel whether I want to or not
im exactly the same :O
Lmao same
wtf thats exactly me lol
Me: want to have a bf after saw others in relationship
Also me when someone likes me and want to get closer: pls don't interrupt my me-time i want to be alone
sameee
Yoon Zara Try to find INFJ. They fit perfect to us
Omg this is me exactly. I love the idea of being in a relationship, having cute moments. But every time I’m with someone it lasts maximum 3 months because of this need to be alone.
Same 👀 I just love to be alone 💀
the level of accuracy i-
As an INFP I have a hard time concentrating sometimes when I'm in my own world inside my head. And also I always try to find the deep meaning and cause of stuffs
Yoooooooi. If thiis aintt mee
eehehehee fuu-uuuckk
Same lol
Since we are smart we are able to see through the lies of the Jedi and the sith join me become balanced with the force and bring peace and Justice to the Galaxy and far outside of the outer rim!
Ugh me tooo! Days go by and all I did was philosophying about life instead of making art... I love art but with everything I love I mostly don’t see the point in them. It makes it hard for me to pursue anything for more than 6 months.
"INFPs are searching for the life's meaning." Me today, trying to learn something for school: I don't see a point in learning this stuff if I don't even know what life is about... *starts thinking for about few hours*
Beka Sikorová why I left school. Legit, studied for a month, aced my GED, got a diploma bc I aced it, went to work two jobs and had a much more fulfilling life at 17 and didn’t feel “stuck” anymore. I was the only one in my high school to have left and done that.
Beka Sikorová
If i could go back to high school and it was my choice I would have gone to student choice. I didn’t make friends in school anyway and spending 8 hours a day somewhere that authentically makes you miserable is just to hard to bear.
@@newjoyyork
Ha! Did the exact same thing. Everyone told me I was ruining my life, but things turned out well for me.
I hated going to school. Although i do like the learning part, it’s a really stressful environment for me. I did well in college, got good grades and all, but i decided to quit and people thought i was being ridiculous. Idk, i just don’t see myself doing something professional? I’m still unsure of what i really want as a career and i have too many things i’m interested in like music production, visual design, psychology, etc. I struggle committing to anything because of my idealism and the moment i doubt myself, i decide that it’s not for me. I feel stuck and often question the point of it all.
@@maku636
Yup, you're definitely an INFP.
Good luck.
im an infp and i honestly dont get how some people want to socialize all the time because i remember one time i spent the night with my friend and she wanted to do EVERYTHING together and the only time i had to myself was in the bathroom, but even then she wanted to talk to me. i distinctly remember getting a bad headache and my eye twitching by the time i got to go home
Maybe this friend wants to be more than friends? But what do I know?🤔
😂 lmao I’m crying it’s so true.
I have a cousin who is like that, and she always wants me to spend the night. She wants me to hangout every day.
Begs me to stay a while longer when I do visit.
The first time I spent the night. I didn’t know which window to jump out of. I was having a meltdown. She txts me when I was in the 🚽🧻. 😂😂💀I cant 😂😂my eyes were twitching and my head was throbbing. I can only visit her once a month, and I’m pushing it.
na na Lmaooo 😂😂
Send Nudes 😂💀it gave me flashbacks when I read it. I was like omg poor baby I know your pain. You literally walk out feeling like you were in another planet, and lost yourself. I don’t know why it made me laugh so much. I cried. 😂😂
Same! They kept asking me like I don't have anything to do and need more friends.
Bruh, I did it many times (10 times is already too much for INFP), and all they do is talking meaningless gossip about celebrity/other friend (what when who where how) than seeking further about WHY. Also too much quick judgements without looking at other perspective.
Just an ENFJ showing love to all you INFP’s out there! Oh how I adore you all!
awh you're nice :)
I wanna give u an apple pie
Oh wow, yay ! :D
We love you too!
Awwww even tho this was a year ago thanks I adore u too :) ❤
Yea i like the idea of being social...but the reality is just so...tyring...rather talk to my cat, he appreciates it heh
Same. My cats is my world. And my jobs/projects, too. ❤ The only things that keep me from Kurt Cobained myself.
h e h
I was thinking the same thing about my dog I believe that she is the only one who truly understands me . I can say this because I am able to read her and connect with her feelings . I may write a book about it or maybe paint a picture of it
@@jeremybearden4014 were you on acid?
^legitimate question
I feel like crying , I’m so happy I took the assessment . It’s good to know I’m not alone. It only felt like it because there’s only 4% of us 😂
helllllll yeah we rare af
me too it was so relieving to be understood
Yeah... Good to know you're not "weird" alone right? lol
@@KaosuAiden shhh
4% of whole humanity is a lot. When I realized that I didn't feel bothered about anymore. And also that so many ppl on comments show their appreciation and love to this very complicated type makes me rpersonally really happy because I often think that the way I am must be hard to get along if someone knows me better. But it seems that this awkwardness makes infps so lovable.
"They like the idea of human contact but not so much the reality of social contact" translation: smalltalk is basically the worst thing on the planet.
I am INFP: private, reserved, loves walking in nature, loves writing and creating stories, good in advicing other people, her peers' voice of reasoning, avoids crowds but loves her circle of friends, takes criticism personally; works as English and Japanese language tutor; graduated nursing.
I had to rewind this video about 50 times because almost everything he said lead to a trail of thoughts I had to follow. Realized every time that I hadn’t been paying attention for the last 10 seconds 😅 #INFPdaydreamerprobs
Ahahahaha I just love the truth in this one :'D
Saaaame
I know!!!!
Sameeee
Omyghad So me hahaha
I still find it crazy that EVERYTHING fits me perfectly?!
Charlotte Snyers well it is real
same almost everything
Yeah, that's me. I love deep, meaningfull conversations with the people i concider my friends (there r only few of them!) but hate just mindless blabbering with meaningles people (basically everyone else i don't know nor trust). Social events are just torture for me, and after a one i need "me-time" to get recharged in total solitude.
Istg if this ain't me
SAME
Yes. Man, people who talk about meaningless shit is so annoying af
I don't even start a conversation
When I first took the test to see what personality I was INFP was mine and it seemed very accurate but I feel like we have a hard time trusting others with our feelings then how people trust their feelings with us. I mean people come to me all the time just to talk about how they feel or some secrets and if they need an opinion I do honestly speak in metaphors. It was kind of crazy how those were so accurate. And my imagination is through the roof but being alone is very calming. And being the odd one out is fun honestly it can be hard though because I have no one to relate to but I enjoy my company and my company with others. But when I am being judged, yup hermit mode is just straight back into my shell
I love speak by metaphors, but when I talk it doesn't make sense to others kkkk
I relate to that a lot. It’s weird seeing people say all the same things about themselves and then I’m also agreeing with it. I’m really good at giving people advice and looking at the bigger picture but knowing that others can’t do the same, I seclude myself and avoid talking about how I feel. I’m indecisive because I’d rather please more people around me than just one person and I hate it when some one tells me that I’m doing something wrong because it feels like I’ve really fucked up everything. And I couldn’t help but notice your Yoongi profile pic, so your even more relatable since your an ARMY. 😂😅
I do all of this but can literally create a song and say it while sleeping
Yeah I completely understand. I always joke that "everyone and thier dog thinks I'm thier therapist." But I am so good at opening myself up to listening that people feel comfortable telling me thier darkest secrets and fears. Yeah, I give great advice to everyone else. I cannot take criticism. It just hurts my feelings and I'll disappear. Or I lash out. It's a struggle haha
@@Thefirelordozai I agree to these completely! Also hey armys💜
Good to know I'm not the only INFP hermit
All the INFP loners/hermits unite!
I'll stay inside days at a time.
you are not alone fellow INFP. love some me time in ma hermit home, it's da best
The personal problems of my family and friends keep driving me out of my comforting hermit home. Am I lucky or cursed? LOL
Loner/hermit all my life
"They're excellent at reading others' feelings, but they don't provide that same insight for themselves." I think this is flat out not true. Don't know about all INFPs but i think at least the majority of us can identify and examine our own feelings even more accurately than those of other peoples.
Mil K True, as an INFP I’ m always in touch with my thoughts and feelings and realize what’s going on on my head
Mil K as an INFP, I think this statement is less about us not being able to identify our own feelings and more with us just not knowing how to handle our emotions
I took it more as they don't let other people in on what they are feeling. So they may understand you but you don't understand them.
It’s the complete opposite for me. I don’t understand how I feel but I care about understanding other people’s feelings so I can help them.
The INFP, I knew, never realized the flaws within themselves.
I’m INFP , most of my cherished memories are with only myself, I love my own company, I’ve been a painter my whole life and currently going to school to be a counselor! This video rings the bells of truth for me
I wake up at 4 in the morn to spend time lonely
I go to bed at 4 in the morn to spend time lonely. Your way is much better though :-P
That's a great idea. Wish I was that way round but I go to bed sooo late just to get some alone time
I’ve actually thought of doing that and just spend time alone while it’s still dark, but yea I go to bed pretty late...
SAI KISHORE sameeeee
Totallyyy always at 4 am!!!
We are definitely hard to get to know but we make great friends when we finally open up and trust someone
I'm INFP-T and now I've became attached to all of you guys commenting and appreciating your voices. Have a good day :)
So sweet...kinda want to eat you if you were a cake😂🤡🤪🤭
funny coz im an infp and right now im an arts teacher who got a college degree in psychology and planning on being a guidance counselor. :)
How cute!
I envy you. I am an engineering scholar, trapped in administrative work.
I took business and don't want anything to do with accounting etc
Literally sounds amazing and fun
When I was a child I played alot outside with my friends and never thought of being lonely and now I don't even have "real friends" anymore. It's so hard for me to build stable relationships.. every time when I think I got a new friend I ruin our relationship in less than half a year because I'm so distant and shy and awkward and that really lowers my self esteem.. Nowadays I don't even have the courage to try to build a healthy relationship because of so many people that left me even when I tried my best to become close with them 😞
Feline i can relate :’)
Right I feel like I was more outgoing as a child. Idk I feel like most of the friends I make are from me not trying. Like acquaintances of friends I already have that develop into real friendships later on. Sometimes you just have to step outside your comfort zone and talk to strangers and people in general. The main problem is how we like to over analyze things in our heads before things become reality. Try to let loose and learn to laugh at yourself. At the end of the day it’s those few friends that we have whom are most important in our lives :)
Don’t be afraid to talk about your problems too. If a fight occurs communicate your way through it. We have to learn to speak up for ourselves and to explain our thoughts more clearly to others.
relate heavily to this
They alwasy say if it isnt working just try a new approach. You wont get different results doing the same things. Its no use blaming yourself or thinking youre not good enough because that not really the problem, the problem is what youre doing not whats in your head.
I love being an INFP. I feel like it is almost as if I got a special gift for being understanding and forgiving in ways that other non INFPs are not so understanding. It can be really hard in social settings and when it comes to holding down a job because socially I cannot commit to people. All of this is so true.
"INFP - I Never Find Perfection"
This is very true for me. And it does not help that the slightest negative comment or action can irreversibly harm any project you do start and any progress you are making. It doesn't take much too second guess everything...
I'm having a hard time being an INFP because nobody understands you and often misunderstood our words.
But I like it as well I'm always in my own world which never made me feel lonely. It's sure is a rare type .
I'm an INFP, and I have a problem. I don't usually have the desire to actively make friends with someone, it just..sort of happens. And here's the thing: I've met this great, inspiring person whom I really want to be friends with. How do I do that? There's no romance involved at all, I just want to get to know this person better. We talked and had a great raport, now I can't wait to talk more! But I really don't want to seem pushy or force myself on him. How does one make friends?
As this was posted a month ago, I'm not sure if you've managed to become closer friends yet. My advice, friendship is a two way street. If the other person truly is as into growing a friendship/relationship as you are, they will make the effort as well. It should not always be one sided, or there is no point (in my opinion) to continue trying to keep up the contact. Obviously, communication is the first step to any friendship. As you get closer with continued communication, then comes asking if they want to do something together or come to your place, or whatever. From there, you will be able to judge yourself whether the other person is wanting a friendship with you as you are with them. Being an INFP, you should be able to judge the situation. Just remember not to over think/analyze everything. I hope you find a life long friend for you ^.^
Try Charging To 100% From Alone Time, Then If They're Feeling Relevent Reach Out To Your Interests!
This is the most relatable comment evah
omg that is so true. all my friends that I’ve had, either I’ve been with them since I was young or...well, it just happened aha. I have no idea how to make friends either lol.
Hey, did you manage to get to know them better? In my experience I found that the fear of being pushy is often unfounded. Just use your best judgement, if it's always you calling them, maybe they're not interested and it may be best to leave them be, but if you never call first, they may think you're not interested.
Iam a INFP, make stories in my head and in the health care
Same. I love making stories in my head, too, I do it every night before sleep, sometimes I dreamed about those stories. When I got a good and detailed one, I write it into novels or fanfictions. 😁❤
OMG! I work on Marketing. In my last job I would count down the time to go to break so I can write the next fan fic.
Me, sometimes I think I need help
*Lady Voldemort* i do that so muchhhh
Same! I was a nurse before becoming a mom. Now I stay at home with my kiddos. The stories are still there though.
So proud of my INFP family😊💟
Thankyou , i just joined infp , i retook the test several timess sometimes i got infj but nevermind .😂😂 how are you stranger ? 😊

Same..are u Malaysian ?
I'am Naz but growing up I'm more open to people

Sometimes I need people to understand me but it's hard to find the right person include my family and I choose to being alone. I feel if there is something wrong with me.
"Crave human attention but are shy" Yaaasss that's my life in a sentence
Amazing how you feel drawn to people with the same personality type as yours..... I was always intrigued by other INFP's.... With others I often feel misunderstood which is really frustrating 😔
So true! I feel like people find it easy to open up to me but it's so hard for me to open up to anyone else!
I went through all the comments here and i must say that For the first time ever I am feeling understood
i underestimated the value of meeting another INFP and was contented with my friend group overall. but when i met this and got close to this girl in 9th grade, we just ✨clicked✨ and we literally tell each other all kinds of stuff and understand each other in a level not beyond but *different* from my friend group (don’t get me wrong i adore them and i love them still, they’re my soulmates in spite of the different personality traits). i love that we got to grow together and we give and take each other’s advice, we also push each other to be more “out there” because there are SO many things we are capable of and we both got LOTS to say and share to the world, we hold each other accountable for our mistakes and shortcomings-i’m just so happy that i found a fellow INFP that grants me this amazing and profound understanding and i hope all of you lovely INFP fairies get to meet yours too!! 🧚🏻♀️🧚🏻🧚🏼♂️
Yup as below person comment, i like some human contact just enough to stop myself overthinking.... But im fine alone
Fenris pro yessss, I go through the same thing !! social contact just to avoid overthinking !!
Yeah isn't this the rare one
Hmm
Same bruh
well put lol!
when he said “.. they often take criticism personally & go to hermit mode” I felt that. 😥
This video is so fricking true
I'm a quiet person, who actually makes friends easy and loves to help people but not everyone can see me like I'm truly are, how I feel about things. I only tell that to people I'm very comfortable with, actually one of my best friends is also an INFP so that's probably why I feel comfy with her.
In any case, I sometimes have ENTP tendencies, like being a real jokester, being really smart and also arguing with facts when someone is wrong without regrets
But this is when I feel the person doesn't know me that much. I still feel more like a INFP since I still cry to "Donating to small streamers" videos
Lets go INFP’s, we all care about each other, but I’ll never open up to others
INFPs also known as “I’m not like other people” or “I’m unique” personalities.
Le Corny That sounds like young or immature INFPs.
I'm an INFP which loves makes new friends I can be ENFP may be, but I don't like when it's too fast and much, I can't handle the situation such as in a party area. Cause it's pure chaos to me, I like being lonely and think alone. I love camping and travelling long distances far from my home with just a bicycle. Loneliness is good, I don't think I can marry with someone, I'm feeling like I'm on the Mars while living in this world. I can't do a certain job except translating/interpreting(btw this is what I'm actually studying), I left the engineering major and rejoin the college. I'm much happier than before. I'm more comfortable when I'm speaking English rather than Turkish. I have like 2 different opposite side, I'm an introverted in Turkish but when it comes to a foreign language I can be incredibly extroverted. I feel the poems, music or even art in my veins, thus leads me to somewhere which isn't existing in this world. Thus why I'm dancing, thus why I'm lonely, thus gives me something untold feeling. I feel the drama inside of me. It's like a theatre for one viewer. I'm also writing too much, as well as reading. I'm 21 and I've been in only one relationship whole my entire lifetime. I can't show my real emotions to the others even to my family and close friends. It's tragicomical. Thus why I'm writing poems and stories, it is the best way to show myself to the world. I don't think I can work on 9-5 slavery system. I'm not belonging anything. I can't love people even though some of are very clever and I'm interested with them. The love is inside my heart or mind; it's bigger than universes. I can forget things they did on me, I can refresh the page so quickly. I can forgive peoples so quickly. I don't hate, I can't hate. I don't want to harm anything, I'm an optimist as well as I'm a pessimist. I speak with people such a totally calmly way, I'm like an idle soul, i don't like fights, arguments. I don't like people which have "hate" on their heads. I'm like a hippie but I don't belong there too. I think I'm lost.
ömer kandemir i think you are trying to be extroverted because of the society that we live in. We need to be like that to survived. I’m also an INFP and i really struggle communicationg with my workmates because i’m a deep thinker and they dont understand me most of the time. I also felt lost in this society but not in this world, i like also things that related to art i write poems, i draw and paint and i also like classical musics.
In a society that full of ego and greed i felt sometimes that its so tiring. That i need to save something or someone, i self doubt myself. Asking myself, why i’am like this and why i feel like this.
But i realized through out the time that we dont need to feel guilty of ourselves, most of the people think that i’m boring, or not cool. So what?
We play a huge part of this world, and our kinds have really deep care in this world and still believe in humanity. I know its confusing but i get the fully freedom with myself when i accept who i am. So maybe when you accept who you are. You will not be lost again or stuck.
Sa hacı
I can relate this. I love learning new languages and the moment I speak any other languages except my mother tongue makes me an extrovert 😄
I can relate myself to what you said a lot. It's hard to know ourselves. At this time I think I'm lost too. Nd yeah I figure it out my personality somehow switches between languages. I learn many languages. I can forget bad things people did to me, hate fights, arguments. I like something slow and gentle. I only prefer some people I like. For the rest I won't be comfy around them.
You'll find someone you can truly connect to and then things will get a lot better. Happened to me :)
I think empathy is the most important trait you can have. Sometimes my empathy and emotions get the best of me, I want to fix everything. When I hear about something going wrong in the world, I will spend so much time wishing I could fix it, and strongly feel for those in the situation. Learning that I am an INFP makes me feel so much less alone!
LOL, definitely an INFP, as I sit here watching this in my nice, quiet home where I recharge!

Partying to me is staying home in my pj bottoms and searching google for things that pop into my head. 🤸🏼♂️🤣 INFP Pro tip: In a social situation where it appears someone may talk to you and you DO NOT WISH TO BE ENGAGED. Put your cell phone to your ear and say hello as you head towards an exit. Just make sure it’s on silent or you’ll turn 50 shades of red when that bastard rings while you’re pretending to talk on it.
"Partying to me is staying home in my pj bottoms and searching google for things that pop into my head." THIS IS LITERALLY ME. Looool. I don't even notice the time whenever I'm curious about things, I end up sleeping at 4am searching for Mariana Trench or something related to Psychology
I relate to this so heavily. I like a good party, but I prefer fewer people just having a good time. I also have an existential obsession (keeps me up like every single night) and I'm a musician so creative gang rise up :))
@@ppbandit8832 Wow I'm gonna study music next semester! I sing though, not mainly using instruments. Hoping for the best for your career!
@@nzyyybb thank you so much!!
@@ppbandit8832 damn that's me. I like fewer people in parties
I’m an INFP and it explains me almost perfectly. I write poetry and am a special needs teacher for children with autism. I also really relate to the part about craving human interaction but shying away from too much social interaction. I’ve always done best one on one. And I’m definitely an idealist, if something doesn’t align with my core values and beliefs it’s really hard for me to deal with that, but at the same time I’m super understanding, compassionate, and empathetic. And lastly, I’m definitely a dreamer. Good video, thanks for posting ✨
infp/enfp ambivalent here. im a Nurse. Im quite happy about my career choice, even though i always am confronted to social interaction. Just alone the feeling to help heal someone elses life is what makes me truly happy :D
When I was younger, I had no clue what I wanted to be when I grew up. I still haven't really gotten to the point where I have to decide.
A girl at my school who I considered an acquaintance/ friend at the time took her own life one day and at school the next day, it was announced, but I already knew since my friends told me. I sat and cried with my friends in what was considered "safe rooms", where councelors and therapy dogs were.
I wasn't really comfortable about opening up to them, but I was super chill with petting dogs.
The situation taught me how much I was fascinated with psychology, and made me think about careers. Since I had taken the test before, I knew I was a Mediator but I had no idea about the career paths. When I told my mom about me possibly wanting a career in psychology, she asked me what my career section said about it. I was in awe because it literally said "counselor" and "psychology". She told me to go for it. When I told my dad, he was confused. He didn't think that career choice would last since he didn't think the 16 personalities test was true. He simply said "no you don't." I'm sure he doesn't understand what a psychologist is lol
I’ve taken multiple mdti tests and they’ve all come back as intp, all of the characteristics that go along with it are very accurate to me, thanks for this breakdown. 😊
"they like the idea of human contact, but not so much the reality of social contact" This is exactly what I feel but I haven't been able to put it into words. This is a great video!
infps attract each other a lot
Yeay thats why our comment section will be the crowded ones
My best friend introduced me to one of his girl friends (mind the gap between those words) and we hit it off SO well when the three of us met for the first time, it was incredible. So much so, that by the second meet-up, the three of us dropped acid, despite my anxious ass usually avoiding doing that with ‚new people‘. It was one of the best trips I have ever had. A few days after, the girl posted an INFP meme on her story and I was like HOLD ON, so that’s why! I ended up asking my best friend about his type, he didn’t know. He took the test, and guess what? Exactly. 🙂😇
lol Yes, 2 of my closest friends are infp when including me it will be 3.
So basically, good people. :)
VeracityTrigger WTF Chick
We'd all like to think so, but everyone has a dark side (Sweeney Todd, Phantom of the Opera, and Gollum (Smegal) are fictional villains that are INFP).
That's the stereotype about us INFPs....in the end what defines us all as individuals are our decisions in life.
4% scary in it
GlowCityBlue I.S. Facts
Is it just me or do others casually listen to the video while scrolling thru to read the comments lol
Dyed-in-the-wool infp. Seems like infps are either hugely accomplished or hugely underachieving. The ones that do the best are fanatic about their medium, less likely to try to do everything. That's why the successful infp is a rarity, unfortunately. We get excited by novelty and move from one thing to another. Statistically we make the least money and at least likely to marry. I was really good at being a child, being an adult not so much.
If you define success has having a lot of money and getting married, then yes you're right. But I'm sure most INFPs understand that career, status and marriage are just social constructs that can't be used to accurately gauge success.
Gabriel Carpenter oh no!
Well that’s fucking depressing
That's depressing but I can't deny that this describes me 🤦🏽♀️
That's me 😭😭 an underachiever
EVERYTHING you said was SPOT ON about me!! i’m so shocked and i’m getting kinda emotional bc u know me better than i know myself
Me: Hey mom can I go to the beach?
Mom: It's raining outside.
Me: I know.
Mom: I guess you can go. Want to bring any friends?
Me: NO.
Mom: Okay then.
Me: (leaves house)
Mom: What have I raised.
Just so you know, i LOL hard at this.
Walks in the rain are great
😂😂😂😂😂😂
so relatable lmao
Hey I feel like you really got me when you said 'reserved'. At least around people i dont know. My go-to mood in public if uncomfortable in any way is aloof. It doesn't earn me any friends lol! Also I am working to become a psychologist.
"INFP = I never find perfection" My soul is so called out right now. xDDD
It is funny. I never knew Marshal was an INFP. My husband is essentially Ted. No wonder we are best friends. xD
I'm an INFP. I've had a 30+ year career in high tech sales and I've been elected to one local office, running for another now. I get things done faster than most so I can relax more often. I find myself working in bursts.
Yes yes yes ! I get so drained from social getherings even after one it takes days to recover , needing time alone away from people. I am extreemly sensitive , open minded , looking for meaning all the time , constantly daydreaming and love to write ! I am so happy my favourite character Anne of Green Gables is also a mediator! I also feel very odd compared to others , suffer with severe anxiety.
I love how if you go the personality test when you get your results they start every paragraph with a relating metaphor
Even the one about how we like describing things in metaphors
I’m an INFP and knowing how creative we
are makes sense because I am studying to be an Art Therapist! Spot on with the careers! :-)
I'm INFP, but I wish I had another type of personality. Ok, I'm proud of my language skills and my creativity, but I'm thinking too much sometimes. I take some comments too personally, and because of my sensivity it hurts me a lot. I wish i had more chill xd I mean it's tiring, when you take every joke to yourself. Also I see people don't find creativity valuable...
(Sorry for my english, it's not a language which I use normally)
I understand how it feels.
you just need to mature a bit more and think it through to its core to beat it.
I used to be like that until i really trained myself to not take things personally.
And there are many people who do find creativity valuable, maybe youve not found the right ones yet.
i find meditation to help a LOT in getting out of my head. you might wanna try a meditation app or sth like that, see how that goes :)
Felt this
I have never seen a comment section in which I can relate so much too. It just feels so good to read your comments as it feel some like-minded thought exchange I was craving since eternity is kind of virtually met today
Spot on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am an INFP and you did a great job of explaining us. I really LOVE being on my own, although in my job as a teacher I am surrounded with people every day. That is why when I get home I just love the haven of being on my own and can recharge my batteries for the next day.
I always say that I have a social battery. I'm happy to talk and interact with people but as soon as it runs out I am done and want nothing to do with people.
People ask me at work if I'm a monk cus I'm so shy and don't talk I didn't realize how bad it was til I started this job. This explains me completely.
I've had people comment on me being quiet too. It's just part of our personality, nothing wrong with that so people should accept it
I wouldn’t recommend teaching. It’s hard for an introvert to be in front of an audience all day.
I feel like an assistant teacher might be ok or private tutoring. Anything that’s in a smaller setting should be fine.
Even as a teacher’s assistant, I feel the pressure. It’s difficult and I just want to hide under a rock when i need to speak to large crowds (of kids).
yeah this is what put me off...having like 30 kids to deal with per hour seems exhausting. i think being a one-on-one tutor or maybe doing online teaching would be good.
I recently completed my studies and even though I had been planning a career as a teacher some years ago, I just feel too inadequate now.
Just tutoring for some hours makes me exhausted as hell
First things first: I love how you calmly pause for a second when you stumbled over a word and then simply repeat it. That's a really wonderful technique! It's allowing yourself to be human, not being apologetic about it and taking necessary measures to get the words accross ❤️ Please keep that lovable quality.
I'm an INFP. Watching different INFP videos and reading about my cognitive stack is helping me a lot with settling into myself another bit more. I can skip some of the troubles in decision making, because I'm more clear on what feeds into my existence and what doesn't. Meaning I can let go of the question quicker whether something is indeed "not made for me" or if I'm faced with a struggle I'm supposed to learn to walk through or walk with! The distinction is really tricky when you aren't surrounded by "seniors" who walk life a similar way. We're not made to be similar. We're made to be inwardly triggered to explore and be a walking library of "greater picture". That's the "healing quality".
We're collectors of shards of perspectives. And the ones to piece them into the puzzle to create short links for the people we recognise as capable of wielding this or that piece of information. Wisdom is power. Can't and shouldn't be gathered by ppl with ambitions. Can only be safely handed to ppl ready to walk the way (or part of way) that our given bit attempt to roughly map out. 🗺️👀
Do other INFPs also watch themselves type or blurt out a bout of words to then stare at them like ..... "Did... this really just come through me? I said that? Wow I didn't 'know' any of that myself before I said it 👀"
It's like having to listen to myself because I, too, need my intuition to be translated to words before I can start processing them by mind. The un-/subconscious speaks and surprises my conscious with what it's been brewing up all this time 😅
I love that even though we are apparently 4% of the world's population, our curiosity and drive to learn has connected us. This is just beautiful, I wonder how great it would be to meet all of you. We are not alone :). Hope I find a cool and worthy friend soon.
What's up finally some people I can relax with
i feel so happy and hugged when i see others infp like me quoting things that are exactly the how i feel... we could do something like a conference with infp it would be great
Im introverted af. I know myself very well, more than most. But when Im in social settings I seem to less all my confidence in myself because I compare to my extroverted counterparts.
Accurate and valuable information from this video! The profession I'm currently in consists of daily bureaucratic tedium, large groups of people, high stress situations, and by shifts end I'm left emotionally depleted. It usually takes a good 2 hrs of detachment and decompression before I'm ready for social contact again. As an independent musician, I tend to express myself in my writings and in my playing. No rules, no going against time or being pressured. Just you, and the free form the art allows.
"Searching for their life's meaning". On point. Exactly what I do everyday. What I think everyday.
I'm an INFP and as a big Star Wars fan, I'm so happy Luke is one 💚
I'm an infp because of that me and my dad are antisocial and stay in our little corners most of the time 😂
Same here
My people 😪 I'm so glad to see u guys lol I'm going to therapy rn cuz I don't know how to deal with this personality. All love yo.
This whole video is a mind flip because of how much it applies to my everyday life and personality.
I used to stay in rooms by myself when I was younger, just to treat myself!
Apparently I'm an infp-t I wish I had known this about myself in highschool, woulda helped so much. I was labeled the mysterious one I had 1 best friend. Not much has changed lol.
Im actually proud to have this personality.
I've always dreamed of being a poet, I've written poetry since I was very young. I've written countless short stories. I'm not great, but it's my favorite thing to do. Anytime I feel like I'm losing myself I just right about the realities of my world. And how thought can effect the realities one may perceive. I love metaphors and philosophy
Am I the only one that feels like crying the whole time watching this? Been having rough time lately and this is just spot on understanding me. Wish I can tell people who misunderstand me to watch this, at the same time, I don't even have to do that.
arts,not fashion, graphics design, mental health worlds...dude you're describing things I always interested in 😂😂
I think I can come off as super extroverted in reality i’m much more introverted and it takes ALLL my energy to put on the extroverted me
I spent most of my working life saying (to myself) that I wanted to make money "like a gypsy" (a compliment of course, anytime, anywhere).
Wow This explains why all people tells me I’m so talented. Even though I’m really not. I just kept trying new things that I’m passionate and excited about and just learn it. I also love nature! I just told my mom that I never dreamt of having a lot of money. I just want peace and i want to live right beside nature where I can feel the freedom.
I took the 16personalitytest to find out what mine is. Turns out I am this! Every points just makes sense now. Wow.
I've been home without leaving for almost a year and just realised that I'm an INFP and honestly I've been daydreaming my whole life and I feel like I've been in my own world rather than being here in this world.
Oh my gosh I literally always think about how much I’d like social contact but when I have the chance to I don’t really take it. Bruh
