Michael Simone 💗 About creativity, that doesn’t only apply to the arts. As an engineer, you are probably naturally an intuitive and creative thinker, problem solver and idea creator. Also creativity is found in every area of life, like how we do our hair or dress, or set up our living space... I’m definitely an artist, but I’m also just a creative thinker, always asking why, or creating new ways to analyze the human condition and creating new possible solutions to stuff, etc. I hope this helped you 💕
@@orchidsrising7910 like no one actually cares, literally immediately can not stand you and I don't even know you... WHO asked????? Why do you sound like a racist housewife from 1940. I have so many questions.
@@HughH1111 -Wow- I wonder why you are so mad, or are you just trying to get attention? Saying mean things online does not give you power, it makes other people not like you, did you know that?
I'm an INFP and I have a question about a hobby/job I have. First off I love doing woodwork although I have a great difficulty in that I feel I can only actually do any work on a project when the "inspiration" hits. Otherwise it just sits there gathering dust. And when I'm done I feel completely drained of all energy. I want to know if this is a normal experience or what? It's unrelated to the current video but halfway thru this I was wondering about it.
Yesss, it explains a lot, doesn't it? I never quite understood why in some moments I loved being the center of attention and in others I hated it. Now I've noticed a pattern, I liked getting attention only in the moment and occasion when I specifically searched for it.
Can relate! I was on a stage performance with my classmates. I was very spontaneous at that time so that i did a weird, unexpected move and made people laughed. But, until now i'm still like "how could i do something like that?" "was that really me?" whenever i remember that time.
@@loony3822 Saaaame. Also, for me it also has to do with how well I know the group, for whether I act more outgoing. Huge groups of people I'm not close to stress me out. :P
Felt that deep inside... :/ I also read that mostly all INFP somehow want to become an author, but struggle with that a lot when it comes to doing it. This is really me. xD
MIchael: "INFPs are supposed to be good hearted" Me: "Most people are good-hearted, I'm just average" Michael: "He will not consider himself as good-hearted because he feels like he's not good-hearted enough" Me: _p a i n_
I decide to start a thing and then I start and then 10 sec later I be like no I can do even better if undo this recent moves and after that I undo again and then I give up
BRO I SWEAR- this is TOO accurate. I got intp like half of the times that I got infp, but whenever that happens, even with zodiacs, like I want the other type
I took the test and it said infp and intp were both very good matches. That just made me question it even more than I would have. I relate to these things but I think it will take a long time for me to fully accept whether or not I'm an infp
There's no such thing as finishing learning a language :D Even when it comes to one's native language, there's no way one can know absolutely everything. But yeah . . . I feel you, starting to learn a new language is much more fun and much less work than actually sharpening and developing what you already know, so you can actually use it in your work or communicate with natives :D
I feel that on a spiritual level xD I like imagining stories in my head most of the time and sometimes I even finish them entirely, but I don't feel like writing them unless I've imagined a really good story
Oh god I feel you😔 , I was about to start a story in wattpad about something fantasy but I just got bored and tired so the stories keeps on my head and also sometimes act it ;-;
So I have an infp friend... Who actually plans to be a hermit... He's gonna leave his family and friends behind.... Go to a monestary far away and serve God... For the rest of his life... How can that be sane?
To all my INFP brothers and sisters, I present a quote I’ve found comforting and profound I think you will all enjoy: “May you find someone who speaks your language so you don’t have to spend a lifetime translating your soul” All the best
True that!!! I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who understands me as much as my grandmother does. We are like on the same wave length all the time and understands how I’m wired because she’s wired that way too. The rest of my family are extroverts and more practical so it’s really hard finding someone who thinks the same
Actually I know another infp and it's kind of annoying because I feel like we're now 2 people stuck together and no one is pushing forward I need someone who is opposite of me so he can push me forward and inspire me
@@Perfectliliies the thing with me and my infp online best friend is that we both like ghosting people. therefore we can talk and then go inactive for like 5 months and then talk to each other again. i dont mind having an infp friend, but i feel like we'll just not talk as much. i need that 1 friend that messages me first lmao
Picture this: You are an infp, but you also have social anxiety disorder (social phobia), so you hate being the center of attention, even if you've chosen or not, but in your head you always think of yourself talking to a crowd , singing in front of a lot of people or doing a play, and it feels great, like, it would be an awesome idea but when it comes to actually doing it... oh the anxiety... it just comes in the worst way ever. yeah that's me and this has been happening all my life. I've always blamed myself for being this way but now that I know I have social phobia and I'm an infp, I think I can pass through this and accept myself more :))
Omg this is the most relatable things ive ever read !!! I though i was the only one thinkint this way but im glad i found someone who feels the same way ^^
You know you're INFP because: -You can "feel" it while watching this -You love pretending you're in a movie -You empathically relate to people in the comments -You feel invisible and like everyone is watching you, somehow at the same time
I feel like INFP is one of the most mistyped types there are. I dont know, I just feel like most people dont really know their type that well. I like to see myself as an INFP, because after going through the mbti theory and every type, its the only one that fits. I Just cannot relate to every comment here myself. Or maybe im just wrong. Sorry about possible typos, English isnt my native language
Same. I had an ISFJ friend who was constantly complaining about not being interested in conversations on everyday topics and looking for more depth in the talks. From that moment, when someone wants to know me or I want to know him, I tell that I'm like this and that if he wants superficiality, it is better that each one continue with his life as two strangers.
Sometimes I actually don't mind it, like when you're somewhere like in line or on vacation and meet someone who's being friendly - but only if they get a little more in depth like "Where are you from?" Otherwise, I just figure they're being polite and act accordingly.
My pet peeve: “Hi, how are you?” “Are you ok?”. How am I suppose to reply? Do you mean spiritually, financially, emotionally, career wise? It so vague. It is like an essay question. Why do I have to be working this hard?
ahah yes. Actually you're right I agree with you. Really answering the question "how are you" would take a long time! But somehow we just pretend and say "I'm fine". A lot of us don't even know how we feel so.. We truly lack some vocabulary as well
It’s a loaded question, but I’ve learned the context of the situation has implications to the direction of the question. General banter means a simple answer or an opportunity to share something interesting to start a conversation. In times where they press for me such as “no, I mean how you really feeling” then it means they’re probing for deeper. Sadly the ladder rarely happens, so most often it’s just a simple: “tell me how you’re feeling without me having to exhaust some mental stamina and space for you.” Obviously not a one size fits all explanation, but most of my experience has had this pattern occur.
@@dragonfly4841 wow ahahah and also i am wondering if i am infp or enfp cuz in my little friend group i am laughing and telling jokes often but except it i feel like fi dom and i am just myself
Him: Says "INFP's doubt their type and spend a lot of time researching it" Me: No, I don't think so, I don't doubt it, that's not true.. and I don't think I research it too much? Also Me: Realizes that this is the 8th video I've watched since taking a 16personalities test two hours ago. Also Also Me: Oh.
"we can be emotional because of a very small detail in movies, musics, etc" yo i relate to this so much... when i told my friends i cried in this part of a movie, they will say that they didn't find it sad at all lol
@@rachelwharton4245 the one when George Michael explains to his father that he wants study hard to get into a good college to make him proud. And so Michael tell him to don't worry about I guess I just would like to have the same conversation with my mom... And, yuup! The show is great. But the 4 season...oh, boy :/
Little Butterfly - Aww cute part :) And yes after the third season..... 😳 My word was it difficult to finish that show. I struggled through once because I clung to a masochistic love for the characters, but I will never rewatch those last two seasons again. Shame on Netflix.
I decided to start learning Spanish. I got really exited about language learning. 1 week later I was learning Spanish,french, German and Chineese at the same time😂 2 weeks after I stopped the language learning project.
I'm an INFP and I'm so bad at making good first impression! That's why I really don't like meeting new people because I'm sooo weird, like, wait! I'm not like that! just give me some time and let me show you who I really am!
I relate so much, I really try to make a good first impression but it’s so hard for me!! I’m a really nice girl but people sometimes think I’m rude and boring cause I don’t talk when I first meet them
Lmao true or I make random enemies by unknowingly / knowingly ignoring people like I'm sorry I'm so rude I like talking to you but then again I hate it lmfao
The need to make a first impression has the smell of inauthenticity, dishonesty, manipulation. If I have to lie to you to get you to like me, do I not betray my own integrity if I do it? Have I not wronged you as well by that lie? And what is your good opinion worth?
@@charlesfaure1189 what I meant was that I have terrible interpersonal skills and I'm kind of "rough diamond". Not that I want to please you with my behaviour and not that I want everyone to like me.
The "empathy by mirroring" really got to me. It happens that most of the time outside my house they tell me that I'm very empathetic, but in my home I am often seen as selfish. Because of this I doubted really much for a long time about the empathy part and often doubted if I was really a good person and therefore being an INFP. The thing is that I just really can't understand my family's way of thinking and it's so hard to relate to them. Now that I see this I am shocked. I feel like I tend to be nicer to the people outside because I relate to them, because it's easier for me to connect with them. I don't know if it happens to you that is easier to be nice to some people than other, but wow, that explains things.
SAME! I don't have a lot to say to people in my family, its usually small talk and thats it. What am I supposed to say? I manage because I still want to be courteous to them and I love them but they don't give me much material to work with and their responses are pretty boring so its hard to even try sometimes and in the moment I don't have anything interesting in my head to say usually. At work and school I could express a lot more of myself, and especially when talking to some of my best friends I could pretty much fully be me and feel accepted and it feels really good to not feel bored being myself just because I am surrounded by people with boring things to say 😂but I seriously formed a couple of very deep connections with my friends and we help eachother through hard times and emotionally support eachother in such a mentally healthy way
This part got to me too!! There's been a voice in the back of my head for a long time making me wonder if I'm a good person or not. If I can relate to someone then emotion hits me like a bag of bricks (especially if it's something sad or upsetting). But if I hear someone talk about something sad/upsetting and I don't relate to it, I still feel for them but it doesn't have the same impact. Part of me as always thought that was selfish and bad. I'm not really sure how to explain that logic, though. I do find that it's usually easy to relate to people, though. Even if I haven't been in their situation, most of the time if I remember a time I felt that way, or ask myself how I would feel in that person's position, it does the trick
Family can REALLY be a pain in the ass to us at times, especially when they keep hounding us to interact with them more, or worse, be more like them. We don't have that much of such pressures outside, as we could just shut those that we don't click with out, yet we get called assholes if we were to do that to our families. We tend to be shut-ins when we get home anyway, & if we ain't allowed to do so, we'd just get more shut in instead.
This is very true. I relate to this. This is honestly why I cannot share feelings with my family. They tend to shut me off and think I’m living in my own world. It doesn’t help that we weren’t allowed to show negative emotion in our household growing up.
"they feel that they are logical" yeah literally all these time i keep telling myself that i am an intp bcuz i seek knowledge and meaning of everything...but then i digged deeper and realized that i am more of a feeler
Yeah same thing happened to me. I used to love the prospect of being like Sherlock Holmes who is known as an INTP but that was totally idealised. It's incredibly liberating to discover the real INFP hidden within all this time.
I was at one of my best friends party for her birthday and even there I was extremely quiet since a lot of them are extroverted. I felt very shy and only talked to one of my other best friends for a lot of the time but soon opened up more the more comfortable I got and I seemed more extroverted when I got more comfortable and opened up more. That happens a lot.
Definitely prefer texting. I can be sure that my thoughts and point is made. I hate making snap decisions, texting gives the receiver time to process and respond without being immediately pressured, which I hate.
I write text novels and comment novels as well. I go back and edit them incessantly. Gotta get it right, wouldn’t want anyone to misunderstand my intent.
"You don't mind being the center of attention as long as you've chosen it" this seems so simple, but yet it explains so much. I was really confused, because there's times where I absolutely love the attention, wanting to go on stages to perform whatever, or just being a person who calls attention. But at the same time, when I'm unwillingly put in the spotlight, I hate it, I get so insecure and nervous that I feel like crying. I never understood why, but now it makes so much sense.
I've been thinking I was more of an extrovert for the same reason. But not too long ago I was put in the center of attention against my will and I wanted to crawl out of my skin
When I'm playacting in social setting, I small talk about the weather! But there's a subconscious feeling that I'm just doing it to gain acceptance or a conceited thot reg. lowering myself so that common people understand me!
I relate to a lot of these but I test as an INTP. I think one of the keys here is when he was talking about thinking all the time...I do think all the time, but I don’t really think about emotions that much unless someone inflicts next with them. Even when I have feelings I have to think about, I usually try to come up with reasons for them and solutions to them. I see them less as the truth, and more as things that have to be fixed.
I was waiting for something that I don't relate with but every point are soooo relatable... And INFP is the most personality type video made on UA-cam because INFP can't stop researching on things we already know and question and evaluate it over and over again... doomed INFP hahahaa...
I feel like the ‘supposed to like people but don’t’ ties into the feeling misunderstood a bit - i want genuine connection, but when it’s such a struggle to feel known/understood, it can make interacting with strangers/acquaintances really tiring and frustrating
Lots of my misunderstandings stem from Fe not understanding Fi, and Fi users either unable to explain their thoughts or are unwilling to talk about it. I know that Fi users don’t want to label their feelings or can’t explain then well enough, but it’s very important that you verbalize to others why you feel the way you do. People aren’t mind readers. This is exactly what I’ve tried doing a few years ago, and needless to say, I’ve found a great set of friends who can understand me! And that’s despite half of them being high Fe users c: heck, the closest and dearest people to my heart are 2 ISFJs ❤️
I hate to agree on the "not project finisher" because it described me so much. People already started to believe me on doing something, but I don't know I just never completely finished my works. I have 6 unfinished writings, all different stories and have different excitements. But yeah, till now it remains unfinished. It made me hate myself sometimes lol.
Yeah I agree, you've got to keep going. I tell myself, just do a little bit every day and even if it's never going to be anything as good as I want it to be or of tremendous value to others, the journey is worth it because there's so much to be learnt. I always function best when I'm just allowing myself to enjoy it, taking the pressure completely off myself, rather than getting caught up in all the overwhelming details that are swirling around in my head about its worth, significance and all the things I want to include but can't process. We've got to forgive ourselves and allow ourselves to be ourselves.
I've gotten VERY reluctant with starting things for the past few years, due to being sorely aware that i probably ain't gonna be sticking with it for too long. Of all the 'ventures' i've started to hone since i was a kid, only 2 had ever been 'finished'.
I relate to this so much. I am currently facing trouble finishing my tasks even due dates are coming near. But others seem not to understand what's going on and asked for explanation. The problem is, I can't even understand myself why I am behaving this way. So how do I explained to them that I have no excuse. Due to this, I always hate & blame myself.
Same! I 'finished' a few drafts of a novel when I was 17/18, but just left it alone. I'm 23 now and think I can write a better book now, but I can't stick with it. I'm always so distracted :/
I was sure that I was an INFP when I found out that INFP are weird with people. Like I fear social interactions, because I feel people wont be receptive of my whole personality and way of being. Also, not being quite sure what I want, and difficulty making decisions? Yeah, that`s me.
when i told my mom that i'm an infp, i showed her the famous people who are an infp too. then she said she didn't believe me because i'm not good at art. but i really really love art. i maybe not good at it, but i enjoy it very much. i am usually good at science and math.
I'm an INFP and I relate to everything you said. I think one of the hardest parts of being an INFP for me is making decisions. Ethical or philosophical ones, not everyday decisions (I'm fine with those). But moral decisions... there are so many facets and perspectives to consider and there's always new information. It's so hard! I think it can come across as wishy washy but I'm really not. I just hate having to pin down something that can be so fluid.
I have the opposite problem. I know what I believe when it comes to faith, moral issues, and those things are far from fluid for me. But give me big things like career, wondering what I'm good at, and other such things, and I am quite literally paralyzed with indecision or uncertainty.
I guess you are an INFP when you like all comments on your comment seccion.. I have done this too in my youtube channel.. I just feel bad when I dont like people who are cheering for me ahah.. Or maybe I just like to be valued Great content
Thanks for watching! That's a good starting point, have you looked into the cognitive functions? I share more resources about this in this video ☺️: ua-cam.com/video/xHaTuA-wGNU/v-deo.html
I do feel like I fit perfectly an INFP right now, but my problem now is: will I always be an INFP? Cause I feel the need to. I don't know, what if I take the test after a few months and get a different result?
uncovered loonatic I don’t think your type can really “change.” However things can change so much in your life, and you’re going to behave differently in different stages depending on stress, mental health, etc. So during some parts of your life you may feel like your behaving like a different type, but from what I’ve learned, I believe that your type is who you are at the core and that never changes even if your behavior and environment does.
@@haileylaine4584 I did a bit of research, and apparently the mtbi is not that consistent. It can change. But I guess that's because the test itself can't possibly get to know your 'core' personality. Sometimes you don't know it yourself. But I guess there are things that never change, just the way you deal with them.
Empathy described as mirroring instead of absorbing has been so comforting to me. I’ve found people describe empathy mostly as being able to just feel another persons emotions whenever they’re feeling it… which doesn’t always come very easily to me. It’s made me feel like I didn’t have empathy at all and felt very narcissistic. However, I feel profound connections and empathy to music, tv characters and other people when I can relate to their experiences. Thank you for this
I find making a to do list , actually helps me get things done. It might not be the day of but definitely the week of. Not say, I get everything done on the list, but most. Which then means I get things done.
“You like to write things” true I was having a text convo with my ESFP friend and she was sending her messages as recordings of her talking while I was still texting out all my responses. She asked me why I don’t also talk instead of text and I explained that I liked to think about my responses before I send them. I did try sending a recording of me talking but I felt like I wasn’t able to get my points across as well and felt like I wasn’t making sense
As an older INFP I can relate to everything you said! I have been enthralled by math and science all my life with high aptitudes in both subjects. I even became an engineering student 5 years after working as a registered nurse. I returned to a career of critical care nursing because it was the only field that permanently captured my heart. I took up art at age 62 because I felt like I would never understand our Creator by using only the analytical aspects of my brain. I was shocked at how much creativity supported my every analytical thought, and how I had been blind to my own creativity because it had been too automatic. At first I was sure I couldn't be an INFP. They were just too weird. I couldn't understand them at all. Then I remembered how my closest friends fondly described me. I think we have a hard time recognizing ourselves because each of us varies so much within the framework of our cognitive functions. Perhaps the INFP foundation allows more variability than some of the other types?
through this whole video my mind was going ”yepyepyepyepyepyep” it literally feels like you climbed into my mind and just put everything into proper words
INFP here. Everything you said applies to me. I'm good with languages, though I wouldn't say they're easy for me to learn. I taught myself Turkish with an online ap, not because I found it easy but because I became obsessed with all things Turkey. Usually I only do things when I'm obsessed or hyper focused on them. So in life, my endeavors, careers and paths have chosen me and not the other way around. Everything is mega intense. Romantic love never had a chance of working out because the intensity goes through the roof. You didn't mention depression but it is hard to avoid for INFPs.
@@mellowcuddlekins Türkleri burada bulmak çok güzel, özellikle sen de INFP olan. Eylül ayında batı Türkiye turuna çıkıyordum ve şimdi ne zaman seyahat etmeye tekrar izin verileceğini bilmiyorum.
@Sky Cookies The name is Duolingo. Yes, you can learn all kinds of languages if you know English. It's pretty good for learning grammar, reading and writing but it's bad for listening skills and for actually learning how to speak. The biggest advantage is that it is free.
I always look for meaning in everything. Especially in symbolism in movies, books and other things. Also im a very spiritual person so instead of closing my eyes and praying, I write down my prayer because i have a tendency to pace out when i pray with my eyes closed. So i write for me to focus. I wanna write more but i guess this is long enough soooo yah
I have two infp besties. I have to be so careful around them cause they take everything so personally. But they try hard to understand my personality. They are a bit crazy and both try hiding things from me which they think I will judge them on, but always and up telling me everything lol One of them is really good at writing. But they waste so much time on facebook posting memes. They never finish anything. (I don't either though) Also when they are hurt they can say some pretty mean petty things. -istp
As an infp, I can attest to being bitchy with a sharp tongue when hurt. Another way we can express our hurt is to avoid u and not talk to you at all, like a cold war. 😅 But I guess it gets better when you become more mature and learn to just not give a fck abt every single thing. It helped that I had really awesome friends, most of them were enfp, esfp, and entp, though. Keep up being their good friend. Infps generally have a hard time keeping them. 💖
I can relate to everything, even with the last part. I can be really mean when I'm angry, and if it has anything to do with being an INFP I think that it could also be about the constant question and scenario we are creating in our minds. Sometimes I think that something is happening when it really was overthinking, so I feel somehow like I have the right to be so angry, and consequently to sound so mean. Even if I'll feel incredibly guilty about it for ages.
K but, being bitchy is not an INFP thing. Neither is being insecure. Open communication just solves pretty much all the problems I keep seeing in INFP comment sections. Just work on open communication and emotional vulnerability one step at a time. Overthinking stuff isn’t an excuse to hurt people or be nasty smh. (Like I can understand how things can get overwhelming and anxious,) but that still doesn’t make it okay to be dishonest and cruel. 🤷🏽♀️ honestly a lot of the time I get embarrassed about being an INFP cause every other INFP I hear about never speaks their mind, is so freaking sensitive, and unreasonably petty. There is a line between reality and fantasy, and just because something is really bad in your head doesn’t mean it’s that bad irl. Just take a second to chill, maybe use some logic, and know that people don’t deserve your hostility. The stuff that goes on in your head- aside from situations where people actively manipulate you- ɪs ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴘʀᴏʙʟᴇᴍ. Grow. Up.
I'm amazed. It's like you know me better than I know myself. Like I wonder why I prefer texting over voicenote, why I am hyper when I'm with my friends, why I am so uncomfortable when someone confront about my feelings. It's because I'm an INFP. I'm glad I found myself.
when someone confronts about my feelings and i start talking about it i feel like crying "for no reason". I cried because i started to talk to psychologist because she asked if i wanted to talk about something but i just didn't know what, started rambling that i didn't know and then cry :'v
You're so right, I find so interesting to understand others better. We too often suppose that other people think like us, so it's very helpful to get a better understanding! Thank you for watching and commenting Curly 🙂
All this time I thought I was ISFP (I still do actually) and clicked on this video to make sure I’m not INFP, but... I relate to all the things you said... Now I’m even more confused.
Actually I am An INFP, When I First Take The 16 Personality Test, I Got Result As ISFP, Then Another One Is INFJ, When I Take With All Of My Facts And Condition. I Got Result As INFP. Truely Amazing Right (Sorry My English Is Bad XD)
" You're not a finisher. " I could feel my 6 unfinished paintings, mountains of writing that I never completed and thus lost to the years, emails and texts which I probably need to take care of if I ever want to be a part of my loved one's lives, musical instruments I've picked up and left halfway, and all the bookmarks and tabs I've kept open from those random times when I wanted to learn a new skill and moved on to another one which I then abandoned for another one- All shooting daggers into my back from behind me.
I totally agree with the "mirroring emotions" bc everytime someone comes at me searching for some emotional help, I end up to using my experience in order to give advice to the people around me. Because of that, I've always thought I was simply selfish bc I couldn't completely relate to others but a friend made me change my mind. I struggled a lot bc back to school I was addressed as emotionless, but now I know
I mean I’ve taken that test multiple times with at least a few months apart and I’ve always popped up as INFP so I don’t have many doubts but just wanna make sure
I just had a really funny moment with nr 12. "INFPs often doubt their type" My thinking process: "I'm pretty INFP, I don't doubt my type a lot ............... I wonder if that makes me not an INFP"
@@MichaelSimone Yes, I have! Frankly, it led to my greater confusion, as I couldn't identify which side of the fence I'm on (this is not to say that I blame you for this!). If you're feeling particularly helpful, would you like to see some of my videos and take a long shot at guessing my type (judging by the way I think and speak, I suppose)? Perhaps it's a pointless exercise, yet introspection seems equally as imperfect! I'd appreciate that, but also get it if you don't feel like it :) Anyway, thanks for making interesting content and keep it up! :)
@@karolinasowinska I just watched some of your videos. First congrats for your content! Keep it up ^^ I can't figure out your type. I'm not at that level where I can spot which functions you're using and determine your type based on your speech. I could guess something but it would be like 10% sure ahaha. We can talk about it tough. What are the reasons that made you think that you were an INFP?
@@MichaelSimone Thanks Michael! What makes me think I'm an INFP: I crave creativity, I feel like my true self has drowned (and I took a pragmatic approach to life, finishing technical degrees), and now I need to help it get to the surface, I'm exteremely interested in psychology, I'm very aware of people's emotions in a room, but I never act on it. For a long time I thought I am an ENTJ but I think it was my escape, trying to numb my Fi's cries with work. But on the other hands, I'm quite driven and ambitious, I go after my goals, I want to take care of my family, I feel like I need to be responsible for them (yet somewhere deep inside I'd love to be able to just give in and let myself be weak and vulnerable, and express myself [especially by writing]). Hmmm. Feel free to make guesses and/or ask questions!:)
@@karolinasowinska Okay, from what I see here, you could be both INTP or INFP. Both types can have these behaviors. An easier way to tell them appart would be to pay attention to why you're doing them, what's your mental process. If you want we can discuss it further on instagram, just add me and DM me ^^
When I write my feelings and thoughts I’m fine. It’s A-Z. When I explain my thoughts and feelings, it’s A,P, F,S,B. What I refer to as “the scenic route”.
after hearing these signs. I am now 100% certain that I am an INFP. Some of these were scary accurate. Like "thinking you're logical" and "mirroring empathy not absorbing". Also, I am gonna finish my art projects............................someday.
What you said about empathy makes soooo much sense to me. I often find myself trying to explain something to others through a similar personal experience or give examples from personal experiences when someone is talking about something to make sure that I have understood them correctly. I think this also has to do with the fact that I often find myself moved by something in a book movie etc, that when I describe to others they really do not get it.
I’m an INFP too! I definitely want to get into programming but I love being created so I decided wanting to go into mobile app development because I also love art too.
Several good points. Some of the things that one might think disqualifies them from being an INFP are actually strong indicators. INFPs unite!! Tomorrow...maybe.
The thing with small talk is, I really hate it but often keep doing it because someone else starts it and I don't want to be rude so I just listen but am actually so annoyed Also I really thought I could be an INTP so thanks for that explanation Really good video(I should do school work until tmr but I'll just watch INFP videos to feel better)
I use to do it first because i dont want the other end feel uncomfortable. I hate it tho, but i know somehow it helps in digging the deeper conversation.
"you need time alone" part got me thinking that i find so much comfort in being alone with myself and thoughts and being able to analyze literally anything i want without people disrupting me that if i get the opportunity to be left alone for a long time i feel like i will be stuck in that hole XD
I’ve taken the mbti test for couple of times and it always shows that I’m an INFP. I constantly find myself questioning the result and this video just helped me understand it thoroughly. Thank you so much for this informative video. Kudos 🤙🏼
I’m an INTP and I relate to all of these. But I “feel” logical because I assess information and come to a conclusion without an emotional attachment to it. I’ve met a few INFPs and all of them are or either have considered following a vegan or vegetarian diet, because they “wish”/“feel” it’s the best for them. In other words, do you follow or believe something because it morally gives you something? I think that’s a better way at explaining the logic of an INFP
After many doubts of thinking if I'm really an INFP. Finally I can say that I am. This video also helped me choose Psychology as a course for college, also after being torn between Accounting(which my family told me I should pursue) and Psychology(as my passion). Thanks for this vid! Have a good day! 💙
thank you, i thought i was INFJ for the longest time and obsessed over it never feeling like it was the right fit for me even with multiple people telling me I was an INFJ. INFP just feels more right. thank you!
So right about the career bit where we think we have a logical way to something. I’m just feeling that all our attributes are extra struggle to survive in what the world needs from us ...it’s just the practicality that’s required doesn’t sit with our inner core
This is so crazy and insightful. I've known for a long time that I'm an INFP, and recently I've been feeling so unfulfilled by what I do (I'm a PhD in chemistry) and the more I dig into my type the more I wonder how in heavens I decided to do chemistry. I was always interested in it and I'm not bad at it, but I'm hating it. This makes some sense, but still doesn't help me figure out what I actually want :D ah the ongoing quest for meaning
Hey ,getting a PhD is definitely not easy for an INFP. You have really pushed yourself to stick to a problem , dig dip and actually finish it. I'm a chemical engineering graduate who does something unrelated for a living.I was really interested in research as a grad student but realised that getting a PhD will be herculean task for me as an INFP and as someone with ADHD.
@@lifegoeson6461 if you realise early enough that you shouldn't do it then that's amazing haha. I wasn't that lucky. It is a herculean task even for me just as an INFP and it's a soul crushing experience. I just hope I can pull together the reserves and finish it, and also end up doing something unrelated for a living!
@@thalia2580852 It took me 5 years to figure out things , I was job hopping, wont say I'm pursuing my passion now . I've made peace with the fact that it's okay to take up a job that's not my calling if it pays my bills , I could always have interesting hobbies. It's okay not to figure it out at all. Taking up a PhD program is not for the weak hearted. I'm sure you ll definitely finish it with flying colors. Best wishes!
DUDE! thanks so much. i’ve struggled with my identity for a while and this really helped me go “oh yeahhh that what i do.” i don’t know it just makes sense now :)
This is too accurate! I’m a hairdresser so I entertain all day. I am outgoing. I laugh & I make others laugh. Once my 9 hour shift is over my introvert side kicks in. I become a hermit. Stuck in such a rut of a routine that it’s hard to snap out of. After being single for 3 years, I’d like to date. It just seems like too much work. I don’t know how to arrange my routine now. I feel I just have this happy personality & a sad soul in one body. It feels weird sometimes.
the point about being creative but not aware that you’ve created really got me. i’m giving myself anxiety at work when i have actually delivered a lot of value!!!
‘You’re good at learning languages’ Damn, I learnt mandarin and it’s pretty easy. Even Asian people say to me, that have been speaking it for all of their life, are like impressed 😂💫
Spot on video for identifying traits of someone who is an INFP. Your point about being misunderstood at times is spot on, it takes us some time to think through our thoughts and assess the situation. Feeling empathy for whatever I am listening to is also very relatable whether it's the music I'm listening to or the video I am watching. Great video for anyone getting to know someone who is an INFP! :)
Yes! Nice to see you're an INFP ☺️ I find it funny to see other people experiencing the same thing Ahah, especially for us INFPs who can feel alone sometimes. I'm glad you liked the video, thank you for being here!
Hey! I'm an INFP too. Just letting you know that most of us have a misconception of creativity as art creators, however creativity is an ability to solve problems in unexpected or innovative ways, so a manager or a mechanical engeneer can also be very creative :)
Awesome video!! Yes to everything! 😂Thanks for the good laugh at “INFPs are not project finishers” For me I never had any confusion over being an INFP (except wondering yes if I’m really an extrovert) for many reasons including, often being totally lost in my thoughts and feelings and unaware of what is going on around me (often being late and disorganized because of it, and stuck in a rut yes!) constantly making up stories and looking for meaning in everything. That is interesting though about being a mechanical engineer because I also was good at math and especially geometry in high school and diagramming sentences. Thanks for taking the time to make this and share what you learned! Fun music too ☺️
I'm an INFP, for sure, but I love watching videos like this anyway (: Typically I don't agree with some things other people who've made similar videos say, but I loved this one, very relatable on each point you made, great video! I never knew some INFP's were attracted to STEM subjects, hahah but I can see that. I used to love programming and robotics, but now I'm a concept artist, both still very creative areas (:
And 1000% correct about the INFP being taken for an extrovert. My experience exactly. My work demands public "performance" frequently. I dive into it because it must be done. "The show must go on." I divorce all my instincts that recoil from it, and adopt the role and, in fact, do it well. But, every time, there is a deep, I mean deep, price to pay. Beginning with utter psychic depletion.
⚠️⚠️UPDATED VIDEO HERE: ua-cam.com/video/rqBV1Ewfhv8/v-deo.html
Michael Simone 💗 About creativity, that doesn’t only apply to the arts. As an engineer, you are probably naturally an intuitive and creative thinker, problem solver and idea creator. Also creativity is found in every area of life, like how we do our hair or dress, or set up our living space... I’m definitely an artist, but I’m also just a creative thinker, always asking why, or creating new ways to analyze the human condition and creating new possible solutions to stuff, etc. I hope this helped you 💕
@@orchidsrising7910 like no one actually cares, literally immediately can not stand you and I don't even know you... WHO asked????? Why do you sound like a racist housewife from 1940. I have so many questions.
@@HughH1111 -Wow- I wonder why you are so mad, or are you just trying to get attention? Saying mean things online does not give you power, it makes other people not like you, did you know that?
I'm an INFP and I have a question about a hobby/job I have. First off I love doing woodwork although I have a great difficulty in that I feel I can only actually do any work on a project when the "inspiration" hits. Otherwise it just sits there gathering dust. And when I'm done I feel completely drained of all energy. I want to know if this is a normal experience or what? It's unrelated to the current video but halfway thru this I was wondering about it.
@@supercid1st same for me with drawing or painting. If someone asks for something, I can't do it but if I feel it, it just works.
The thing about being an INFP is that I always struggle with the fact that I really like people, but I don’t want to be around them.
I need a life this is so me !
Woww me! I thought I was an extrovert with social anxiety but my god do I get tired around people
Yessssss...ikr..
I love people, but I hate them. xD
If we're English Figure Of Speech, we'd be oxymoron.
"you don't mind being in the centre of attention as long as you've chosen it" omg that one is so meee
Yesss, it explains a lot, doesn't it? I never quite understood why in some moments I loved being the center of attention and in others I hated it. Now I've noticed a pattern, I liked getting attention only in the moment and occasion when I specifically searched for it.
Can relate! I was on a stage performance with my classmates. I was very spontaneous at that time so that i did a weird, unexpected move and made people laughed. But, until now i'm still like "how could i do something like that?" "was that really me?" whenever i remember that time.
Jep mee too
Makes sense though to me you should want attention when necessary and needed it's not like im ask for it all the time either.
@@loony3822 Saaaame. Also, for me it also has to do with how well I know the group, for whether I act more outgoing. Huge groups of people I'm not close to stress me out. :P
“You’re not a finisher”
Me: *slowly turns to look at my 12 unfinished stories*
Felt that deep inside... :/
I also read that mostly all INFP somehow want to become an author, but struggle with that a lot when it comes to doing it. This is really me. xD
Same. I had around 30 ideas and unfinished stories :(

“you always doubt your type” me constantly
Emilia López INTP do this too
BRO I SWEAR- this is TOO accurate. I got intp like half of the times that I got infp, but whenever that happens, even with zodiacs, like I want the other type
Dont yall doubt everything? lol
I took the test and it said infp and intp were both very good matches. That just made me question it even more than I would have. I relate to these things but I think it will take a long time for me to fully accept whether or not I'm an infp
AA THE VELVET UNDERGROUND
I tried to learn new languages, loved them but never finished them.... *yikes*
Melissa Quirós same 🤣
My degree is in languages. I've learned like 10 overall and can never master any of them 😅
I feel you!!!
There's no such thing as finishing learning a language :D Even when it comes to one's native language, there's no way one can know absolutely everything. But yeah . . . I feel you, starting to learn a new language is much more fun and much less work than actually sharpening and developing what you already know, so you can actually use it in your work or communicate with natives :D
haha, same. i started to learn german, never finished it. then started to learn another like french, spanish, italian and never finished them too
Usually when i want to write a story ,almost all part of the story are just written in my head rather than paper.
I feel that on a spiritual level xD I like imagining stories in my head most of the time and sometimes I even finish them entirely, but I don't feel like writing them unless I've imagined a really good story
Relatable
somehow, i managed a chapter or 2 with few of them.. i wish i can just narrate and someone will write them for me😇
Oh god I feel you😔 , I was about to start a story in wattpad about something fantasy but I just got bored and tired so the stories keeps on my head and also sometimes act it ;-;
If the paper could just read my mind it would be so much easier.
“INFP’s go into hermit mode... especially after a social event” Me, covered in blankets and eating chocolate while watching UA-cam: you don’t say
VERY draining! I have to prep before and have alone time after...even if its in a bathroom
SOCIAL EVENTS DRAIN THE HLL OUT OF ME. it's like you interact with people for a day then u go hermit mode for 7days....
I'm an infp teacher 😂
@@Tania-fb4zl me too!
So I have an infp friend... Who actually plans to be a hermit... He's gonna leave his family and friends behind.... Go to a monestary far away and serve God... For the rest of his life... How can that be sane?
To all my INFP brothers and sisters, I present a quote I’ve found comforting and profound I think you will all enjoy:
“May you find someone who speaks your language so you don’t have to spend a lifetime translating your soul”
All the best
True that!!! I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who understands me as much as my grandmother does. We are like on the same wave length all the time and understands how I’m wired because she’s wired that way too. The rest of my family are extroverts and more practical so it’s really hard finding someone who thinks the same
Actually I know another infp and it's kind of annoying because I feel like we're now 2 people stuck together and no one is pushing forward I need someone who is opposite of me so he can push me forward and inspire me
My esfp partner understands me well than i do myself. So i am so happy and comfortable with him.
@@Perfectliliies the thing with me and my infp online best friend is that we both like ghosting people. therefore we can talk and then go inactive for like 5 months and then talk to each other again.
i dont mind having an infp friend, but i feel like we'll just not talk as much. i need that 1 friend that messages me first lmao
AMEN!!
When you binge watch videos about being INFP
@Romain Cialle How did you know? 😱😂
Bro wtf I’m doing it right now ahahha
Mee either LOL
since it's quarantine lmao
I feel called out lol
Picture this:
You are an infp, but you also have social anxiety disorder (social phobia), so you hate being the center of attention, even if you've chosen or not, but in your head you always think of yourself talking to a crowd , singing in front of a lot of people or doing a play, and it feels great, like, it would be an awesome idea but when it comes to actually doing it... oh the anxiety... it just comes in the worst way ever.
yeah that's me and this has been happening all my life. I've always blamed myself for being this way but now that I know I have social phobia and I'm an infp, I think I can pass through this and accept myself more :))
Omg this is the most relatable things ive ever read !!! I though i was the only one thinkint this way but im glad i found someone who feels the same way ^^
Brr Neko I'm like this too!!!
I'm the SAMEE 😭
Me too! ♥
This is exactly how I am too
You know you're INFP because:
-You can "feel" it while watching this
-You love pretending you're in a movie
-You empathically relate to people in the comments
-You feel invisible and like everyone is watching you, somehow at the same time
The last point is what keeps me up at night
Holy sht that's so me
this is one of the reasons i read the comments. i find so many things to relate to
😂 I'm actually having lots of fun reading everyone else, like the thickly warm laugh 🤭🤭🤭🤭
But still doubting 😳😂🩷
Sign 19: You relate to every single comment here
I feel like INFP is one of the most mistyped types there are. I dont know, I just feel like most people dont really know their type that well. I like to see myself as an INFP, because after going through the mbti theory and every type, its the only one that fits. I Just cannot relate to every comment here myself. Or maybe im just wrong. Sorry about possible typos, English isnt my native language
😊
Broooo
literally, i've found my people
Me: liked every comment while scrolling down the comment section (which is something I’m usually pretty selective about in the first place).
"You think you are a logical person" and "You feel you think all the time" hit HARD
I mean “logic” and “thought” is different , I think infp mostly just overthinks and it’s not always logical
And then you’re like “hold on😟” when you meet an actual thinker type. My best friend is an istp and so is my brother haha.
that's me-😭😭
"INFP really hate small talk" yo I really connect to this cause I'm rly bad at small talk. It just doesnt appeal to me
really really true!!!!!
Same. I had an ISFJ friend who was constantly complaining about not being interested in conversations on everyday topics and looking for more depth in the talks. From that moment, when someone wants to know me or I want to know him, I tell that I'm like this and that if he wants superficiality, it is better that each one continue with his life as two strangers.
sometimes it makes me wonder do i hate human bcz i feel tired when people started to talk about sth tht i 'think' meaningless but i do love animals 😕
Sometimes I actually don't mind it, like when you're somewhere like in line or on vacation and meet someone who's being friendly - but only if they get a little more in depth like "Where are you from?" Otherwise, I just figure they're being polite and act accordingly.
for me, I will talk to them bout them but I tend to felt bored and sometimes left them hanging🤣
My pet peeve: “Hi, how are you?” “Are you ok?”. How am I suppose to reply? Do you mean spiritually, financially, emotionally, career wise? It so vague. It is like an essay question. Why do I have to be working this hard?
ahah yes. Actually you're right I agree with you. Really answering the question "how are you" would take a long time! But somehow we just pretend and say "I'm fine".
A lot of us don't even know how we feel so.. We truly lack some vocabulary as well
I usually get the gist and say something like "not much" or "same old"
They ask so vague so imma answer very vague too.
It’s a loaded question, but I’ve learned the context of the situation has implications to the direction of the question. General banter means a simple answer or an opportunity to share something interesting to start a conversation. In times where they press for me such as “no, I mean how you really feeling” then it means they’re probing for deeper. Sadly the ladder rarely happens, so most often it’s just a simple: “tell me how you’re feeling without me having to exhaust some mental stamina and space for you.” Obviously not a one size fits all explanation, but most of my experience has had this pattern occur.
Angelica Trino same for me
Honestly, you watching this video is already an indicator that you are an infp😂
because we're making sure we're really an INFP
But some are actually INFJs.
Or maybe because you don't know whether you are an INFJ or an INFP 🤷♀️

Me: No, I don't think so, I don't doubt it, that's not true.. and I don't think I research it too much?
Also Me: Realizes that this is the 8th video I've watched since taking a 16personalities test two hours ago.
Also Also Me: Oh.
So you are just getting started.
this is so fkn true,
16personalities isn't that accurate use truity's test instead

"we can be emotional because of a very small detail in movies, musics, etc" yo i relate to this so much... when i told my friends i cried in this part of a movie, they will say that they didn't find it sad at all lol

Little Butterfly - Aww cute part :) And yes after the third season..... 😳 My word was it difficult to finish that show. I struggled through once because I clung to a masochistic love for the characters, but I will never rewatch those last two seasons again. Shame on Netflix.
"i have to look at my notes so i don't forget"

"the next thing is infps like writing"

I keep notes on a game I play 😆 There's just so much to learn and I kind of forget things too.
INFPs: Jack of all trades, master of none
This made me laugh because this is so me. I speak like 10 languages crapilly and none fluently >.
So true 😂
I decided to start learning Spanish. I got really exited about language learning. 1 week later I was learning Spanish,french, German and Chineese at the same time😂 2 weeks after I stopped the language learning project.
This literally describes me so much
Holy shit , my dad used to say this phrase and i used to think that I related to it sooo much- now someone has said it too !!!! Haha
I'm an INFP and I'm so bad at making good first impression! That's why I really don't like meeting new people because I'm sooo weird, like, wait! I'm not like that! just give me some time and let me show you who I really am!
I relate so much, I really try to make a good first impression but it’s so hard for me!! I’m a really nice girl but people sometimes think I’m rude and boring cause I don’t talk when I first meet them
Lmao true or I make random enemies by unknowingly / knowingly ignoring people like I'm sorry I'm so rude I like talking to you but then again I hate it lmfao
Just be u, ok? U are not weird, that just "judgement".
The need to make a first impression has the smell of inauthenticity, dishonesty, manipulation. If I have to lie to you to get you to like me, do I not betray my own integrity if I do it? Have I not wronged you as well by that lie? And what is your good opinion worth?
@@charlesfaure1189 what I meant was that I have terrible interpersonal skills and I'm kind of "rough diamond". Not that I want to please you with my behaviour and not that I want everyone to like me.
The "empathy by mirroring" really got to me. It happens that most of the time outside my house they tell me that I'm very empathetic, but in my home I am often seen as selfish. Because of this I doubted really much for a long time about the empathy part and often doubted if I was really a good person and therefore being an INFP. The thing is that I just really can't understand my family's way of thinking and it's so hard to relate to them. Now that I see this I am shocked. I feel like I tend to be nicer to the people outside because I relate to them, because it's easier for me to connect with them.
I don't know if it happens to you that is easier to be nice to some people than other, but wow, that explains things.
SAME! I don't have a lot to say to people in my family, its usually small talk and thats it. What am I supposed to say? I manage because I still want to be courteous to them and I love them but they don't give me much material to work with and their responses are pretty boring so its hard to even try sometimes and in the moment I don't have anything interesting in my head to say usually. At work and school I could express a lot more of myself, and especially when talking to some of my best friends I could pretty much fully be me and feel accepted and it feels really good to not feel bored being myself just because I am surrounded by people with boring things to say 😂but I seriously formed a couple of very deep connections with my friends and we help eachother through hard times and emotionally support eachother in such a mentally healthy way
This part got to me too!! There's been a voice in the back of my head for a long time making me wonder if I'm a good person or not. If I can relate to someone then emotion hits me like a bag of bricks (especially if it's something sad or upsetting). But if I hear someone talk about something sad/upsetting and I don't relate to it, I still feel for them but it doesn't have the same impact. Part of me as always thought that was selfish and bad. I'm not really sure how to explain that logic, though.
I do find that it's usually easy to relate to people, though. Even if I haven't been in their situation, most of the time if I remember a time I felt that way, or ask myself how I would feel in that person's position, it does the trick
Family can REALLY be a pain in the ass to us at times, especially when they keep hounding us to interact with them more, or worse, be more like them. We don't have that much of such pressures outside, as we could just shut those that we don't click with out, yet we get called assholes if we were to do that to our families. We tend to be shut-ins when we get home anyway, & if we ain't allowed to do so, we'd just get more shut in instead.
This is very true. I relate to this. This is honestly why I cannot share feelings with my family. They tend to shut me off and think I’m living in my own world. It doesn’t help that we weren’t allowed to show negative emotion in our household growing up.
omg same!
"they feel that they are logical" yeah literally all these time i keep telling myself that i am an intp bcuz i seek knowledge and meaning of everything...but then i digged deeper and realized that i am more of a feeler
Holy moly why is this so true.. 100% me, contemplating whether I am INFP or INTP, for the same reasons.. my mind = blown rn
Yeah same thing happened to me. I used to love the prospect of being like Sherlock Holmes who is known as an INTP but that was totally idealised. It's incredibly liberating to discover the real INFP hidden within all this time.
I am an INFP but my enneagram type is 5 which is thinker lol
@@josephgulliford393 omg, the thing about Sherlock Holmes is sooo true it hurts
Same :") now I feel kind of stupid. Just a little
If I tried to explain anything I would sound exactly like you. Yeah, INFP.
Ahah classic ^^
" you can be seen as an extrovert " I CANT AGREE MORE
I think a lot of my friends would probably say I'm an extrovert because I really come alive in small groups...! But I know the deal... (INFP)
Buddy you just described me😫
I can testify to that lol
I was at one of my best friends party for her birthday and even there I was extremely quiet since a lot of them are extroverted. I felt very shy and only talked to one of my other best friends for a lot of the time but soon opened up more the more comfortable I got and I seemed more extroverted when I got more comfortable and opened up more. That happens a lot.
Definitely prefer texting. I can be sure that my thoughts and point is made. I hate making snap decisions, texting gives the receiver time to process and respond without being immediately pressured, which I hate.
This as so accurate. Well said
i’ve never felt so seen... thank you.
I write text novels and comment novels as well. I go back and edit them incessantly. Gotta get it right, wouldn’t want anyone to misunderstand my intent.
Fr. Even when texting I get nervous cuz sometimes idk how to reply 😟 but it’s better than calling
"You don't mind being the center of attention as long as you've chosen it" this seems so simple, but yet it explains so much. I was really confused, because there's times where I absolutely love the attention, wanting to go on stages to perform whatever, or just being a person who calls attention. But at the same time, when I'm unwillingly put in the spotlight, I hate it, I get so insecure and nervous that I feel like crying. I never understood why, but now it makes so much sense.
you just describe what i tought my whole life
I've been thinking I was more of an extrovert for the same reason. But not too long ago I was put in the center of attention against my will and I wanted to crawl out of my skin
@@perhaps5095 what happened?
Omg yesss
When I'm playacting in social setting, I small talk about the weather! But there's a subconscious feeling that I'm just doing it to gain acceptance or a conceited thot reg. lowering myself so that common people understand me!
Me: *questions if I’m actually an INFP* Also me: *relates to every single reason 100%*😭😂
Relatable
that's why Im here watching this video to make sure "am i really INFP?"
I relate to a lot of these but I test as an INTP. I think one of the keys here is when he was talking about thinking all the time...I do think all the time, but I don’t really think about emotions that much unless someone inflicts next with them. Even when I have feelings I have to think about, I usually try to come up with reasons for them and solutions to them. I see them less as the truth, and more as things that have to be fixed.
And then you still doubt it lol
Me
I was waiting for something that I don't relate with but every point are soooo relatable... And INFP is the most personality type video made on UA-cam because INFP can't stop researching on things we already know and question and evaluate it over and over again... doomed INFP
hahahaa...
So trueee!
Oh. Ok. I feel called out
ah, so thats why 😂
i feel attacked
True😂
I feel like the ‘supposed to like people but don’t’ ties into the feeling misunderstood a bit - i want genuine connection, but when it’s such a struggle to feel known/understood, it can make interacting with strangers/acquaintances really tiring and frustrating
Truee
It's sad that most of the world just don't bother with forming true, meaningful connections.
So true! Well said 👌🏻
Lots of my misunderstandings stem from Fe not understanding Fi, and Fi users either unable to explain their thoughts or are unwilling to talk about it.
I know that Fi users don’t want to label their feelings or can’t explain then well enough, but it’s very important that you verbalize to others why you feel the way you do. People aren’t mind readers. This is exactly what I’ve tried doing a few years ago, and needless to say, I’ve found a great set of friends who can understand me! And that’s despite half of them being high Fe users c: heck, the closest and dearest people to my heart are 2 ISFJs ❤️
"INFP's doubt their type"
Me: Wait, that's why I clicked on this video.
I hate to agree on the "not project finisher" because it described me so much. People already started to believe me on doing something, but I don't know I just never completely finished my works. I have 6 unfinished writings, all different stories and have different excitements. But yeah, till now it remains unfinished. It made me hate myself sometimes lol.
Keep going!
Yeah I agree, you've got to keep going. I tell myself, just do a little bit every day and even if it's never going to be anything as good as I want it to be or of tremendous value to others, the journey is worth it because there's so much to be learnt. I always function best when I'm just allowing myself to enjoy it, taking the pressure completely off myself, rather than getting caught up in all the overwhelming details that are swirling around in my head about its worth, significance and all the things I want to include but can't process. We've got to forgive ourselves and allow ourselves to be ourselves.
I've gotten VERY reluctant with starting things for the past few years, due to being sorely aware that i probably ain't gonna be sticking with it for too long. Of all the 'ventures' i've started to hone since i was a kid, only 2 had ever been 'finished'.
I relate to this so much. I am currently facing trouble finishing my tasks even due dates are coming near. But others seem not to understand what's going on and asked for explanation. The problem is, I can't even understand myself why I am behaving this way. So how do I explained to them that I have no excuse. Due to this, I always hate & blame myself.
Same! I 'finished' a few drafts of a novel when I was 17/18, but just left it alone. I'm 23 now and think I can write a better book now, but I can't stick with it. I'm always so distracted :/
I was sure that I was an INFP when I found out that INFP are weird with people. Like I fear social interactions, because I feel people wont be receptive of my whole personality and way of being. Also, not being quite sure what I want, and difficulty making decisions? Yeah, that`s me.

@@carolinamadronalmachero7583 I feel like its a type that shouldn't exist 😂. I'm a slytherin infp btw
I'm an INFP and I relate to everything you said. I think one of the hardest parts of being an INFP for me is making decisions. Ethical or philosophical ones, not everyday decisions (I'm fine with those). But moral decisions... there are so many facets and perspectives to consider and there's always new information. It's so hard! I think it can come across as wishy washy but I'm really not. I just hate having to pin down something that can be so fluid.
I have the opposite problem. I know what I believe when it comes to faith, moral issues, and those things are far from fluid for me. But give me big things like career, wondering what I'm good at, and other such things, and I am quite literally paralyzed with indecision or uncertainty.
right!!
I guess you are an INFP when you like all comments on your comment seccion..
I have done this too in my youtube channel.. I just feel bad when I dont like people who are cheering for me ahah..
Or maybe I just like to be valued
Great content
Yo now this is scaring me
@@lisaterp7489 why? Ahah
Hi are you french I am! I’m an info haven’t taken tests for 30 years but sometimes my responses to things seem like I’m an infj.
Wow I was a biomedical engineer. Then I went to school for nursing cause I really love doing something
Meaningful
all of these apply to me and i'm still assessing whether or not I am an INFP..Thanks for your research
Thanks for watching! That's a good starting point, have you looked into the cognitive functions? I share more resources about this in this video ☺️: ua-cam.com/video/xHaTuA-wGNU/v-deo.html
OMGOODNESS!!! Me too! Lol Confirming the confirmation and then researching the confirmation to be sure! Lolol
I do feel like I fit perfectly an INFP right now, but my problem now is: will I always be an INFP? Cause I feel the need to. I don't know, what if I take the test after a few months and get a different result?
uncovered loonatic I don’t think your type can really “change.” However things can change so much in your life, and you’re going to behave differently in different stages depending on stress, mental health, etc. So during some parts of your life you may feel like your behaving like a different type, but from what I’ve learned, I believe that your type is who you are at the core and that never changes even if your behavior and environment does.
@@haileylaine4584 I did a bit of research, and apparently the mtbi is not that consistent. It can change. But I guess that's because the test itself can't possibly get to know your 'core' personality. Sometimes you don't know it yourself. But I guess there are things that never change, just the way you deal with them.
Empathy described as mirroring instead of absorbing has been so comforting to me. I’ve found people describe empathy mostly as being able to just feel another persons emotions whenever they’re feeling it… which doesn’t always come very easily to me. It’s made me feel like I didn’t have empathy at all and felt very narcissistic. However, I feel profound connections and empathy to music, tv characters and other people when I can relate to their experiences. Thank you for this
"INFP are no finishers"
THis is the struggle of my life. It's becoming a problem. What should I do?
You asked in a whole infp video that full of infp people lmao. I'm looking for that answer too 😂

I've had this question all my life.
I find making a to do list , actually helps me get things done. It might not be the day of but definitely the week of. Not say, I get everything done on the list, but most. Which then means I get things done.
“You like to write things” true I was having a text convo with my ESFP friend and she was sending her messages as recordings of her talking while I was still texting out all my responses. She asked me why I don’t also talk instead of text and I explained that I liked to think about my responses before I send them. I did try sending a recording of me talking but I felt like I wasn’t able to get my points across as well and felt like I wasn’t making sense
👍
This!! My friend will send me one 30 sec voice message and I will respond with atleast 10 separate bubbles LMAO
true!!! i always re read what I type, most of the time because i am afraid that my words will come out wrong...
That is so true
Omg...so true😂😂😂...everyone be sending voice message because they are too lazy to type while me sending message since I dont want to talk😂
This hit the nail on the head! I think this is the best video I've watched so far that describes INFPs

Thanks so much
@@MichaelSimone I concur!
Yes

As an older INFP I can relate to everything you said! I have been enthralled by math and science all my life with high aptitudes in both subjects. I even became an engineering student 5 years after working as a registered nurse. I returned to a career of critical care nursing because it was the only field that permanently captured my heart. I took up art at age 62 because I felt like I would never understand our Creator by using only the analytical aspects of my brain. I was shocked at how much creativity supported my every analytical thought, and how I had been blind to my own creativity because it had been too automatic. At first I was sure I couldn't be an INFP. They were just too weird. I couldn't understand them at all. Then I remembered how my closest friends fondly described me. I think we have a hard time recognizing ourselves because each of us varies so much within the framework of our cognitive functions. Perhaps the INFP foundation allows more variability than some of the other types?
What you said about empathy is spot on. I think sometimes I actually really lack empathy for situations I can't relate to
through this whole video my mind was going ”yepyepyepyepyepyep” it literally feels like you climbed into my mind and just put everything into proper words
INFP here. Everything you said applies to me. I'm good with languages, though I wouldn't say they're easy for me to learn. I taught myself Turkish with an online ap, not because I found it easy but because I became obsessed with all things Turkey. Usually I only do things when I'm obsessed or hyper focused on them. So in life, my endeavors, careers and paths have chosen me and not the other way around. Everything is mega intense. Romantic love never had a chance of working out because the intensity goes through the roof.
You didn't mention depression but it is hard to avoid for INFPs.
Merhaba, Turkish infp here.
Bi Türk daha. Ama infp kısmından emin değilim.

@Sky Cookies The name is Duolingo. Yes, you can learn all kinds of languages if you know English. It's pretty good for learning grammar, reading and writing but it's bad for listening skills and for actually learning how to speak. The biggest advantage is that it is free.
I always look for meaning in everything. Especially in symbolism in movies, books and other things. Also im a very spiritual person so instead of closing my eyes and praying, I write down my prayer because i have a tendency to pace out when i pray with my eyes closed. So i write for me to focus. I wanna write more but i guess this is long enough soooo yah
@Meli9719 study feel more hearty right?
When it comes to listening to music, I tend to look for meaning in songs.
I have two infp besties. I have to be so careful around them cause they take everything so personally. But they try hard to understand my personality. They are a bit crazy and both try hiding things from me which they think I will judge them on, but always and up telling me everything lol
One of them is really good at writing. But they waste so much time on facebook posting memes. They never finish anything. (I don't either though) Also when they are hurt they can say some pretty mean petty things.
-istp
Omg you're such a good friend*-* 💚
As an infp, I can attest to being bitchy with a sharp tongue when hurt. Another way we can express our hurt is to avoid u and not talk to you at all, like a cold war. 😅 But I guess it gets better when you become more mature and learn to just not give a fck abt every single thing. It helped that I had really awesome friends, most of them were enfp, esfp, and entp, though. Keep up being their good friend. Infps generally have a hard time keeping them. 💖
I can relate to everything, even with the last part. I can be really mean when I'm angry, and if it has anything to do with being an INFP I think that it could also be about the constant question and scenario we are creating in our minds. Sometimes I think that something is happening when it really was overthinking, so I feel somehow like I have the right to be so angry, and consequently to sound so mean. Even if I'll feel incredibly guilty about it for ages.
I'm an Infp and I have two infp besties and one Infj. You can imagine the peacefulness when we've met 😂💕
K but, being bitchy is not an INFP thing. Neither is being insecure. Open communication just solves pretty much all the problems I keep seeing in INFP comment sections. Just work on open communication and emotional vulnerability one step at a time. Overthinking stuff isn’t an excuse to hurt people or be nasty smh. (Like I can understand how things can get overwhelming and anxious,) but that still doesn’t make it okay to be dishonest and cruel. 🤷🏽♀️ honestly a lot of the time I get embarrassed about being an INFP cause every other INFP I hear about never speaks their mind, is so freaking sensitive, and unreasonably petty. There is a line between reality and fantasy, and just because something is really bad in your head doesn’t mean it’s that bad irl. Just take a second to chill, maybe use some logic, and know that people don’t deserve your hostility. The stuff that goes on in your head- aside from situations where people actively manipulate you- ɪs ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴘʀᴏʙʟᴇᴍ. Grow. Up.
"you're not a finisher"
me: * looks at my 70 drafts *
I'm amazed. It's like you know me better than I know myself. Like I wonder why I prefer texting over voicenote, why I am hyper when I'm with my friends, why I am so uncomfortable when someone confront about my feelings. It's because I'm an INFP. I'm glad I found myself.
Da relate
when someone confronts about my feelings and i start talking about it i feel like crying "for no reason". I cried because i started to talk to psychologist because she asked if i wanted to talk about something but i just didn't know what, started rambling that i didn't know and then cry :'v
Holy smokes I have never related more to a video in my life. Never been more sure of my type!
It feels so good to almost have a dictionary about yourself so you can refer to it if you feel you're going crazy!
I think understanding these are so great, not only for ourselves, but also understanding how to help and connect with others (from an ESTJ lol)
You're so right, I find so interesting to understand others better. We too often suppose that other people think like us, so it's very helpful to get a better understanding! Thank you for watching and commenting Curly 🙂
I'm an ESTJ watching this as well! Trying to understand several INFPs in my life :)
All this time I thought I was ISFP (I still do actually) and clicked on this video to make sure I’m not INFP, but... I relate to all the things you said... Now I’m even more confused.
Same! Well there's three shared letters so I guess there'd be similarities. Only difference is sensory vs intuition
Actually I am An INFP, When I First Take The 16 Personality Test, I Got Result As ISFP, Then Another One Is INFJ, When I Take With All Of My Facts And Condition. I Got Result As INFP. Truely Amazing Right (Sorry My English Is Bad XD)

" You're not a finisher. "
I could feel my 6 unfinished paintings, mountains of writing that I never completed and thus lost to the years, emails and texts which I probably need to take care of if I ever want to be a part of my loved one's lives, musical instruments I've picked up and left halfway, and all the bookmarks and tabs I've kept open from those random times when I wanted to learn a new skill and moved on to another one which I then abandoned for another one- All shooting daggers into my back from behind me.
As soon as I heard 8 I never related more to a sign ever, Im still doing a project I spent 3 years doing
I totally agree with the "mirroring emotions" bc everytime someone comes at me searching for some emotional help, I end up to using my experience in order to give advice to the people around me.
Because of that, I've always thought I was simply selfish bc I couldn't completely relate to others but a friend made me change my mind. I struggled a lot bc back to school I was addressed as emotionless, but now I know
Oh same. I also use my experience to give advice.
I mean I’ve taken that test multiple times with at least a few months apart and I’ve always popped up as INFP so I don’t have many doubts but just wanna make sure
I just had a really funny moment with nr 12. "INFPs often doubt their type"
My thinking process: "I'm pretty INFP, I don't doubt my type a lot ............... I wonder if that makes me not an INFP"
Fantastic analysis. I'm a data engineer, yet I've suspected myself of inherent INFP-ness... All your points confirm my hypothesis.
Have you checked my last videos where I talk about INTP instead?
@@MichaelSimone Yes, I have! Frankly, it led to my greater confusion, as I couldn't identify which side of the fence I'm on (this is not to say that I blame you for this!). If you're feeling particularly helpful, would you like to see some of my videos and take a long shot at guessing my type (judging by the way I think and speak, I suppose)? Perhaps it's a pointless exercise, yet introspection seems equally as imperfect! I'd appreciate that, but also get it if you don't feel like it :) Anyway, thanks for making interesting content and keep it up! :)
@@karolinasowinska I just watched some of your videos. First congrats for your content! Keep it up ^^
I can't figure out your type. I'm not at that level where I can spot which functions you're using and determine your type based on your speech. I could guess something but it would be like 10% sure ahaha. We can talk about it tough. What are the reasons that made you think that you were an INFP?
@@MichaelSimone Thanks Michael! What makes me think I'm an INFP: I crave creativity, I feel like my true self has drowned (and I took a pragmatic approach to life, finishing technical degrees), and now I need to help it get to the surface, I'm exteremely interested in psychology, I'm very aware of people's emotions in a room, but I never act on it. For a long time I thought I am an ENTJ but I think it was my escape, trying to numb my Fi's cries with work. But on the other hands, I'm quite driven and ambitious, I go after my goals, I want to take care of my family, I feel like I need to be responsible for them (yet somewhere deep inside I'd love to be able to just give in and let myself be weak and vulnerable, and express myself [especially by writing]). Hmmm. Feel free to make guesses and/or ask questions!:)
@@karolinasowinska Okay, from what I see here, you could be both INTP or INFP. Both types can have these behaviors. An easier way to tell them appart would be to pay attention to why you're doing them, what's your mental process. If you want we can discuss it further on instagram, just add me and DM me ^^
When I write my feelings and thoughts I’m fine. It’s A-Z. When I explain my thoughts and feelings, it’s A,P, F,S,B. What I refer to as “the scenic route”.

I'm so glad it helped you! Thank you for being here 😊
OMG this video found me, I’m an INFP mechanical engineer too
Really!?! Ahah awesome! And what do you think of it?
Number 12: "INFPs often doubt their type and spend a lot of time doing research about it."
Well... I guess I just found out my type.
after hearing these signs. I am now 100% certain that I am an INFP. Some of these were scary accurate. Like "thinking you're logical" and "mirroring empathy not absorbing". Also, I am gonna finish my art projects............................someday.
What you said about empathy makes soooo much sense to me. I often find myself trying to explain something to others through a similar personal experience or give examples from personal experiences when someone is talking about something to make sure that I have understood them correctly. I think this also has to do with the fact that I often find myself moved by something in a book movie etc, that when I describe to others they really do not get it.
I studied programming but I always had a creative side within me. Yup, I'm an INFP.
I’m an INFP too! I definitely want to get into programming but I love being created so I decided wanting to go into mobile app development because I also love art too.
same! INFP and web designer 😊
Really cool explanation, I've always found the myer briggs interesting.
Thank you Josh! It's very interesting indeed :)
Several good points. Some of the things that one might think disqualifies them from being an INFP are actually strong indicators.
INFPs unite!! Tomorrow...maybe.
The thing with small talk is, I really hate it but often keep doing it because someone else starts it and I don't want to be rude so I just listen but am actually so annoyed
Also I really thought I could be an INTP so thanks for that explanation
Really good video(I should do school work until tmr but I'll just watch INFP videos to feel better)
I use to do it first because i dont want the other end feel uncomfortable. I hate it tho, but i know somehow it helps in digging the deeper conversation.
Relatable 😅
"you need time alone" part got me thinking that i find so much comfort in being alone with myself and thoughts and being able to analyze literally anything i want without people disrupting me that if i get the opportunity to be left alone for a long time i feel like i will be stuck in that hole XD
I’ve taken the mbti test for couple of times and it always shows that I’m an INFP. I constantly find myself questioning the result and this video just helped me understand it thoroughly. Thank you so much for this informative video. Kudos 🤙🏼

I've watched some videos on INFPs but I have not related to one as much as this one. I think nailed this, you explained everything so well
I’m an INTP and I relate to all of these. But I “feel” logical because I assess information and come to a conclusion without an emotional attachment to it.
I’ve met a few INFPs and all of them are or either have considered following a vegan or vegetarian diet, because they “wish”/“feel” it’s the best for them. In other words, do you follow or believe something because it morally gives you something?
I think that’s a better way at explaining the logic of an INFP
watching this has made me realize that i’m definitely an infp :)
After many doubts of thinking if I'm really an INFP. Finally I can say that I am. This video also helped me choose Psychology as a course for college, also after being torn between Accounting(which my family told me I should pursue) and Psychology(as my passion). Thanks for this vid! Have a good day! 💙
thank you, i thought i was INFJ for the longest time and obsessed over it never feeling like it was the right fit for me even with multiple people telling me I was an INFJ. INFP just feels more right. thank you!
So right about the career bit where we think we have a logical way to something. I’m just feeling that all our attributes are extra struggle to survive in what the world needs from us ...it’s just the practicality that’s required doesn’t sit with our inner core
Exactly, we are capable of using practical tools, but we're more skilled with other fields. Unfortunately society does not reward them very much!
This is so crazy and insightful. I've known for a long time that I'm an INFP, and recently I've been feeling so unfulfilled by what I do (I'm a PhD in chemistry) and the more I dig into my type the more I wonder how in heavens I decided to do chemistry. I was always interested in it and I'm not bad at it, but I'm hating it. This makes some sense, but still doesn't help me figure out what I actually want :D ah the ongoing quest for meaning
Hey ,getting a PhD is definitely not easy for an INFP. You have really pushed yourself to stick to a problem , dig dip and actually finish it.
I'm a chemical engineering graduate who does something unrelated for a living.I was really interested in research as a grad student but realised that getting a PhD will be herculean task for me as an INFP and as someone with ADHD.

DUDE! thanks so much. i’ve struggled with my identity for a while and this really helped me go “oh yeahhh that what i do.” i don’t know it just makes sense now :)
This is too accurate!
I’m a hairdresser so I entertain all day. I am outgoing. I laugh & I make others laugh.
Once my 9 hour shift is over my introvert side kicks in. I become a hermit. Stuck in such a rut of a routine that it’s hard to snap out of.
After being single for 3 years, I’d like to date. It just seems like too much work. I don’t know how to arrange my routine now.
I feel I just have this happy personality & a sad soul in one body.
It feels weird sometimes.
the point about being creative but not aware that you’ve created really got me. i’m giving myself anxiety at work when i have actually delivered a lot of value!!!
‘You’re good at learning languages’
Damn, I learnt mandarin and it’s pretty easy. Even Asian people say to me, that have been speaking it for all of their life, are like impressed 😂💫
Spot on video for identifying traits of someone who is an INFP. Your point about being misunderstood at times is spot on, it takes us some time to think through our thoughts and assess the situation. Feeling empathy for whatever I am listening to is also very relatable whether it's the music I'm listening to or the video I am watching. Great video for anyone getting to know someone who is an INFP! :)
Yes! Nice to see you're an INFP ☺️ I find it funny to see other people experiencing the same thing Ahah, especially for us INFPs who can feel alone sometimes.

Thank you. I needed this affirmation. I'm definitely an INFP. And I love it. 😃
Hey! I'm an INFP too. Just letting you know that most of us have a misconception of creativity as art creators, however creativity is an ability to solve problems in unexpected or innovative ways, so a manager or a mechanical engeneer can also be very creative :)
I'm an INTP, i'm studying you so i can understand more my INFP friend and give her what she needs.
Awesome video!! Yes to everything! 😂Thanks for the good laugh at “INFPs are not project finishers” For me I never had any confusion over being an INFP (except wondering yes if I’m really an extrovert) for many reasons including, often being totally lost in my thoughts and feelings and unaware of what is going on around me (often being late and disorganized because of it, and stuck in a rut yes!) constantly making up stories and looking for meaning in everything. That is interesting though about being a mechanical engineer because I also was good at math and especially geometry in high school and diagramming sentences. Thanks for taking the time to make this and share what you learned! Fun music too ☺️
i watched the entire video and without a doubt, i`m definitely 100% an INFP.
Thanks for the video. Have a good day/night :-)
Thank you! Welcome here :)
I'm an INFP, for sure, but I love watching videos like this anyway (:
Typically I don't agree with some things other people who've made similar videos say, but I loved this one, very relatable on each point you made, great video!
I never knew some INFP's were attracted to STEM subjects, hahah but I can see that. I used to love programming and robotics, but now I'm a concept artist, both still very creative areas (:
And 1000% correct about the INFP being taken for an extrovert. My experience exactly. My work demands public "performance" frequently. I dive into it because it must be done. "The show must go on." I divorce all my instincts that recoil from it, and adopt the role and, in fact, do it well. But, every time, there is a deep, I mean deep, price to pay. Beginning with utter psychic depletion.
the accuracy of this talk is shockingly on spot.... thank you so much for such valuable insights
