As an ISFP I definitely feel misunderstood and an outcast. I both desire friendships and feel that people are that "outside friction" that interferes with my desires to live in the moment. I get along with almost everyone but have never had any close friends or someone I would consider a best friend.
That part where you said I get along with almost everyone but never had a close friend is very me it’s a struggle of being an ISFP but I think we value that. it’s part of our individualism we’d like to have a close friend but at the same time we know we don’t exactly fit the mold so we’ve just learned to accept it.
"They value freedom, immensely. They want to live life on their own terms and somehow manage to beautifully balance sticking firmly to their own values without ever judging other people for theirs." YES! YES! Brilliantly stated!
As an INFP, I find ISFPs very intriguing and inspirational, I feel like I need their views and opinions the most right now and I'll always try to implement some of their philosophy in my life.
Finally someone saying ISFP’s are highly intuitive. I’ve been mistyped as intuitive for so many times, and nearly all of my friends are intuitives, intuitive chatting and friendships just feel more natural than sensors
As an ISFP, I can't think or plan for a future no matter how hard I try, besides imagining myself following phases and paths considered "mandatory" for other people, as a rule, setting expectations I never wanted and following plans that everyone expects me to follow, It makes me very insecure and afraid of my future... I have an immense desire to find something that I'm passionate about doing, or that brings me will and determination, something that I think "I want to do this for the rest of my life" or "I really love doing this", while I don't find it, I continue ignoring the future lol
This is literally me, I even tried doing everything you just said and forcing my way into things I want to do for my life but I just can't find the passion and excitement for it, it's almost as if you're either too passionate for everything or you have none at all. I guess this is mostly an isfp thing XD
as an intj, totally agree on the similarity between intj and isfp. every time i have convo with my isfp close friend we mostly reach to the same conclusion, but the lines of reasoning are slightly flipped.
That point was so interesting because I already knew that for some reason I get along great with ENTJs (don’t know enough INTJs I guess!) so that makes a lot of sense to me.
One of my favorite types. As an INTJ I've developed my tertiary Fi just by watching them and marveling at how they are able to fuse being easygoing and uncompromising. Two words that come to mind that were not mentioned in the video are "authenticity" and "playfulness".
Exactly. That’s how I am with gay people. I don’t get why so many people are against it. Let people put their wieners where they want to put their wieners.
@@cristianofelicio1141 it's just that when you put it like that in a topic of homophobia it suggest that straight couples love each other, homosexual fuck. I know you don't have to think like that, I just wanted to say it
As an ISFP I can understand why in my early days I often got misunderstood by my parents and everybody around me by doing what I think is fun. I often wander around the woods and observe the surroundings and because of that I get scolded or get beat up by my parents, I often do not respect my parent's uneccesary strict rules and I really despite when I felt manipulated by others. The fact that I found my parents very manipulative is because they set standards to myself often comparing me to other sons/daughter's achievement. Now I can understand why being an ISFP is so exhausting because I realized the world is very manipulative 😢 so I think as ISFP our best strength is our independence, seeking attentions and validation is a big mistake, we should connect more with our selves, do what is necessary to do and be more attentive on the manipulation of your surroundings, trust me we are not wrong it's just the world want's us to put in a box and be their puppets. We are supposed to be the Lone Wolves of society, the escapees of the matrix. I felt bad for some comments saying they felt bad for being ISFP. Don't feel bad for yourselves. "I say stop being perfect, let's evolve, let the chips fall where they may".
I know an ISFP who is an amazing illustrator and artist. He has a very definite sense of clean aesthetic that I can appreciate and seems surprisingly organized in his workspace for his type. He's difficult to really get to know but very easy going most of the time. When we meet with a diverse group of friends, certain topics like politics and religion are avoided and he is fine with that as he can be very opinionated which doesn't always end well with some others in the group. We have found it easiest to invite him but never expect him to show and never be judgmental on when he doesn't which has worked wonders for group cohesion. Overall he is very creative, easy going and perceptive. He prefers discussions to be more centered on current events and people, and less on the abstract.
Can't speak for fellow ISFPs but I'm pretty organized in the sense that my space would probly "look messy" but everything is exactly where I want them to be. Idk if thats an isfp thing or what but I kinda think it is.
So much more info here that's me, but I hadn't heard mentioned before. Especially that switch flipping. I'm so quiet, allowing, encouraging, peaceful, friendly UNTIL I experience an injustice. Then I'm fiery- take me on... at your peril.
All very true. I'm an INFJ who's been dating an ISFP for almost 3 years. I love his individuality and ability to connect with just about every single human, and we share a lot of intuitive insights. This was a fantastic video!
That’s amazing I’m also an INFJ and my boyfriend of 2,5 years is an ISFP! He’s always so down to earth and helps me stop my overthinking and also encourages me to be a biiiit more spontaneous sometimes haha
as an isfp, people hardly understand me so all they do is assume me as heartless. that’s the reason i have no friends and everyone isolate themselves from me when i just have social anxiety
No offense but sometimes you have to ask yourself maybe it's you who is the problem. I am an ENFP so I also use my Fi and I totally understand you! It feels so detrimental when people just assume stuff about me BUT the moment I helped myself improve, I noticed an improvement with my surroundings. You can't expect people to grasp your social anxiety but you can try communicating that to them!
ISFP and I recognize what I value most in life at the age of 10: Independence and Freedom. I still remember the moment of realization. And it made sense now why I even know what I value and also why I value those. The freedom to believe whatever and the independence to act accordingly when family memebers do not share the same beliefs.
Are we that rare? Because there's only few contents about us. It do makes me value these as little gems or doors for people to enter and understand us. I agree with some comments here, I also was mistyped as INFJ. Though there might be few qualities that fit if I were really an INFJ, when I took the test again and again (different year), I was typed as ISFP. Spontaneity runs in our personality. I have friends that would be surprised because I can move or travel to far places alone. I really love to travel alone. The sense of appreciating beauty: sunrise and sunset, rain, waves, clouds, smiles, and laughters.
INFP: I've had many ISFP friends and beyond-friends because they make great... friends. I have so much admiration for them and, frankly, a lot of envy too. They dress so well, just to begin with, and move so well and are so classy. In addition, their eye for aesthetics tends to be just a cut above and many have an unmatched natural talent for artistic pursuits. As my mom says about all of her cats, "they're beautiful, and they secretly know it."
I’ve FINALLY realised I’m actually an ISFP. Due to a lot of trauma I’ve built up an ENTJ shell to protect and preserve my gentle, creative core. Because I’m doing this, I’m going precisely against my inner voice, I have felt lost and as though I am continuously betraying myself - because I am. I have suppressed Fi in a really unhealthy manner, to the point that I find it easier to talk to others (therapist) about my own feelings than I do admitting my feelings to myself. I have felt like a character, trying on different identity costumes (phases like this had me convinced for a while I was an INTP) but I’m not naturally as neurologically-charged as NT types, which makes maintaining the ENTJ shell that much more exhausting. Unfortunately, I’ve been suffering intense psychological abuse so becoming an outspoken, “emotionless” droid has been my only way to cope. I am also very easily overstimulated with sensory things (am diagnosed autistic), so the idea of minimalism has always appealed to me. Having said that, I can create some of the most detailed artwork that I’ve ever seen. But I really hate harsh criticism - not because I’m sensitive, but because it reflects that which _is_ me and to (unnecessarily) harshly criticise my artwork is to pick apart at me as a person. Yes that does sound like I’m being sensitive, but it’s just a boundary I couldn’t cross with other people, whether their endeavours were creative, logical or practical. Oh. I guess that _is_ being sensitive… oops 😅
You seem like a really nice person. I too have been trying to deny my true self in order to cope, so i totally sympathize. I hope we will find healthier ways in the future as we evolve. Stay strong. Love infj
i am an ISFP, love more videos in depth about their feelings and love life, hobbies, feelings , when they are hurt, and more.... thanks for you awesome videos
“Despite often advocating for the simple approach to life, the are surprisingly non straightforward people” I really felt that statement. I agree with everything you stated in the video. Especially the part about feeling misunderstood by other people and needing my environment to be organized. I’m constantly spending money to organize and decorate my apartment so I can just flow through it. Great video! It’s nice to feel understood by someone!
"Just flow through it", yesss! This is my goal for my home as well, and points to you for the poetic descriptive language! I deeply crave an organized and beautiful space that I can maintain throughout the day, so it never builds up into maddening mayhem. Cozy but breezy -- that's what I want. Bets wishes on you achieving the same! ^_^
Just learned that Elvis may have been an ISFP from this article I read, and everything you said based off of what I know about him makes so much sense! It's cool to understand him as well as others!
Thank you 🙏🏻. Im happy you dont just describe us as ”artists” or focused on just estethics. There is more to it definately. Even thou beauty is important, its just on the surface.
thank you! for your insigh! That "don't fence me in" mentality balanced with not judging others yet sticking firmly to their own values with passion and determination! .yes. I must be an ISFP :)
It's interesting that you mention them being the typical hero type taking on hordes of enemies, I am quite peaceful but for some reason in games I also have said switch where I do just that.
Really glad to hear you’re enjoying them! If you haven’t already please feel free to check out our discord server (the link is in the description) it would be awesome to have more ISFPs on there! ~ Nathan
I feel like out of all the people I've ever met, the ISFP was the hardest for me to figure out as an INTJ but at the same time, we had similar goals too. Just different ways of wanting to achieve them maybe.
@@onajideshou3345 Honestly, I'm really not sure. I've met a couple now and they're just off in their own world while I'm in my own different world it seems. They're all very unique and individualistic which is amazing. But I think where we differ is that the ones I've met seem to be more in touch with people's feelings and with like the world in general...which I'm not so great at (but getting better!)
@@SilverScorpio17 Oh i love intj's haha...we are secretly most similar types as we use same function axis just up and down .We move forward in similar directions even cross paths immensely ..I love to have good chats with intj's
@@SilverScorpio17 I'm ISFP and have an INTJ friend, and I always think SHE'S the one who's more in touch with the world in general because she can Te get it and maneuver through it. I need to break down before I'm ready to face this world's Te, then "shapeshift" into a different character, then have another breakdown when it's over.
I feel the same way!! im an isfp and my friend is an intj, i connect with her very easily but shes impossible to read and I never know what shes thinking (which leads to arguments and misunderstandings)
oh man. i wish my isfp friend had been this healthy. i saw flashes of it, but i think she got stuck in a loop. she had a tendency to project and intrusively push her feelings onto the people around her, often unfairly accusing them of things they didn't mean. her ability to "read between the lines" was very poor, but it was skewed by her low self esteem and insecurity. she was constantly reading into things i hadn't said, or identifying negative implications i hadn't meant. it was truly exhausting to deal with and i had to cut ties after about a year of her being in this negative space. i NEVER doorslam people close to me because they get 1.4 million chances and i'm able to reason away their behavior, but i was truly exhausted mentally. i'm an entp for the record.
Sounds very similar to my experience with an unhealthy isfp. Exactly as you said, I saw flashes of what he could have been if he hadn't been so stuck in a negative loop, which is why I gave him too many chances. I felt emotionally drained and trapped, I could never predict what he might interpret as something negative. I truly loved him, but it was very exhausting. And I'm an infp
Oh dear..Sounds like my mother tbh lol. She did the test once and got ESFP but Claims she wasn’t ever very extroverted at all. But ISFP (unhealthy) sounds pretty spot on right about now ngl
That’s interesting. I’m ISFP but I always had the opposite “problem”.. I always tend to be way too optimistic and trusting, no “reading between the lines” for me! I actually specifically preferred to ignore the “between the lines” because it felt like I was looking for unnecessary negativity. As I got older I learned (sometimes the hard way!) not to trust so easily.. it helped that I married the most cynical ENTP ever lol
@@justme4579 i don't think it's an isfp's natural way of being. like i said, she was just a very unhealthy isfp; if you look at isfps when "in a loop", you can see some of the behaviors i'm talking about :) on the whole though, i do not believe isfps are this way naturally. we all start behaving differently when under stress.
@@zelda-fitzgerald yea what a shame though! I personally think the best part of being ISFP is the optimism and positivity.. a pity when someone loses that.
Since I was a child I have been aware that I move towards humans most others avoid and move away from humans that most others move towards. So yes you get that feeling that you are an outsider looking in. I have never felt unsafe,insecure or uncomfortable in my decisions and saying that there was this small inner voice asking why specifically do I do that. Yes in life I do attract some of the most toxic people they believing that I am easy prey because they see I am socially isolated they are completely clueless that it is self imposed. You have no idea how many bullies misjudged me when they realized that I was not waiting for them I was the hunter and they were my prey. I saw shock,disbelief and real fear in their eyes. I like to think that maybe I changed them to healthier behaviours towards others.
my best friend is an ISFP and he's one of the coolest and most wonderful people I've ever met. I'm ENFP. it surprises me that people say ENFPs don't get along with ISFPs. so not true.
In my experience, you are correct..until you set or enforce a boundary with them. They view those limits as you stomping on their individuality, and will revolt against you. If you have a different value than them, they take it as a personal attack on their values. They are also very envious of our extroversion, considering it as a sign that there is something wrong with them. They often resort to snide comments, and passive aggressiveness to try to emotionally punish ENFPs for simply being different from them. I have been close with 3 ISFPs so far, and this has happened with all of them.
@@LizzMo well, in my experience the ISFPs I know have never crossed my boundaries and I've never had to set those with them. and if I ever did, I know they'd respect them, especially my best friend, bc it's one of the things he really preaches about. I think you might have known unhealthy ISFPs. I'm close to only one but I know two others on a superficial level; they all are quite cool. they don't seem to envy me.
@@LizzMo uhh ISFPs aren't all the same, you know? these are pretty unhealthy traits, so I guess those friends of yours were pretty unhealthy ISFPs to say the least
I took a personality test a while ago and got intj. I thought that it wasn't completely 100% correct. I took the test again recently and got isfp, and it describes me perfectly :)
I see this with my ISFP bf. As soon as I get moody, he gets moody, and if I'm giddy, he's giddy. I usually absorb other people's emotions (INFJ), but he's always so chill, he rarely triggers negative feelings.
Woaah finally it's ISFP turn :'v I love how you describe us without focusing too much on our sad artistic side. What we are is just simply ppl who have strong values but respects other's differences. I have a best friend who is an INTJ, being himself he usually makes lots of dark jokes. I normally laugh it off and try to understand that it's just the way he talk, and he doesn't mean any harm. But there was 1 time he accidentally tapped on a topic that I have very very strong opinions on, and I just suddenly snapped, we were walking tgt, I just turned my head and walked the opposite direction. He was taken aback and very surprised of this intense side of mine. He said it was the first time he felt so flustered and tried to apologize to someone hahah~
I usually never get angry. I really hate confrontations. None of my friends have ever seen me snap and get furious. But there was one time a coworker I had decent chemistry with revealed that she was racist. I tried to reason with her, but she's an ENTJ and got debatable with me. I felt that was not something to debate about and snapped there and got seriously pissed. Fun times. Haven't heard her say the N-word since though.
I got mistyped as INTJ a few times and it never really felt right, but when I got typed as ISFP it really rang true, so much so, and related to my childhood and early adulthood much more. So glad that I finally got typed properly, now it all fits 100%
yes I was the one isfp mistyped as intj, for a long time, finally I feel relieved, I was in wrong circle lot's of entj and intj they all are cold, blunt & argumentative, not that supportive at all, I leave those circles and met awesome esfj man who really click with me, always help me and checks my emotions, I realize I need compatible circle and I found it even if it's late
Thank you for helping me to know myself better. I needed this. Tbh this video made me Cry while I was just tryna clam down myself because of the argument with my family. I really feel like outsider. My elder sis and Mom criticize me for not being able to household works. No one even asks me how I feel. I haven't eaten the whole day but no one really cares. Is it my fault if I get sick too much and weak? I'm suffering from sepsis these days but that seems nothing to them cz I don't share about how sick I feel. It kinda makes me embarrassed to share my feelings in real life. Sometimes strangers from social medias make me feel better than my own family
Wooww thank you so much. I feel like "finally someone understand me even before myself" 🥰 Your video help me to learn about myself, about selfcare, honestly it's hard to find ISFP content, but you make it and explain about ISFP very well and easy to understand *BigHug* *Virtual Hug* (I'm sorry, english is not my first language)
Hi Nathan, First off, I want to thank you for this video. Accurate representation of an ISFP is rare, but you have it down pat. I can tell you I spent more than an hour watching this 2 minute video, constantly going back and replaying and thinking about how these things applied to me and the people I know. You just put so much into it, I wanted to make sure I absorbed every word. Is there an answer to that dilemma of compromising ideals for stability (conventional life paths)? Or something that can make it easier? Because that’s exactly where I am right now...
Good content - I feel they're stoic on the outside but would like it if someone noticed that they were trying hard too and acknowledged their efforts without making a spectacle of it. I feel that ISFPs so want to be "not a burden to anyone" that they end up managing their things all by themselves. But deep inside they'd like someone to create safe structures for them too. I guess that's why the ISFP and ESTJ get along well? My child is an ISP I think. I'm an ENFP. So this is my guess about her. Can some bonafide ISFP confirm?
I’ve certainly have had to combat that feeling, and probably always will. I think you’re 100% right on being more stoic outside while it’s different inwards, it can feel like such an intense emotional rollercoaster but it’s difficult to express that. And often I would feel embarrassed if I had 😅 Ig vulnerability isn’t easy for everyone tho, but having really supportive and reliable friends and family has made it much easier and I appreciate them all for that. If ya kid is by chance an isfp it may take a while before they start expressing their thoughts and such (this is mostly cause we’re figuring things out for ourselves about ourselves and that takes time). But they’ll eventually share once they’ve thought it through enough and are comfortable with doing so Well.. Comfortable enough to try anyways And as time goes on and you stay reliable and assuring, or a great person to jump thoughts off with you’ll start getting some fun new ideas that haven’t been fully explored but sparked This was a tangent brought to by an isfp! Hoped it helped?
Yes kinda right I also thought at first I was an INTJ. But technically im more on ISFP I think, this more resonates me like legit often people misunderstood me. And I like freedom.
I get acquainted with people but i never had really close friends, groups, or even someone I'd call a best friend. I am familiar with a lot of people, but i dont seem to know them deeply. (and vice versa)
Very charismatic and charming, people person, whose shy at times and intimidated by people at first encounters. Tend to want people to like them, fantastic at captivating audiences with their witty charm, when they're relaxed around people. Creativity and being artistic, seems to come easy to them. Fantastic writers and good at debating, yet they can be walking dictionaries, and encyclopedias on random topics they enjoy, due to their love for consuming information and constant learning Fi/Se. Come off as intelligent people due to there amazing people skills, makes friends easy and is loved by all typically, if you ever go out of your way get to know them. Yes you might have to chase them down, they like to be hermits at times... Just dont expect them to compete anything, or possibly start a new thing, they are massive procrastinators, they tend to half do everything they do. Usually perfectionists, highly critical of themselves, refuse to cut any corners on processes due to their perfectionism. The slow way is the best way for an ISFP! They are the snail in the race, slow and steady, hence why they rarely start or complete tasks, too much work they'll say, rather give up before they start. Fantastic at counseling all inferior Fi users on how to be emotionally aware of others, tend to love/admire Te users due to their own inferior Te. Have terrible long term memories, expect them to never learn from previous mistakes, due to not remembering them. They will debate you over them instead, saying black and blue they never heard of it before or done this or that. Which they seemed to have forgotten all about... once again... can become a broken record of continuous bad ideas causing problems in their life without an Si user to remind them of past experiences. I'm an ESTJ and my brothers an ISFP
Ngl ik people are like astrology isn’t real but it makes sense bc I’m a cap moon it’s kinda hard to make friends and I mostly like being alone , and I’m Taurus rising and I like being on my own pace
I’m trying to figure out if I’m INFP or ISFP. I used to score INFP, but now my results come back as S. I know there’s a lot of variables that influence our type, but I seriously feel like I’m in between these 2 lol. It’s driving me crazy
INFP are Not Social. Not good at conversing. .. very awkward. Not quite there with you, floating, distracted. IMO. Conversely, ISFP ‘s very present to the person and environment. Interact easily, make jokes, can be silly.
@@camillea7697 hmm. I think if I’ve ever felt that awkward way it was because my mind was distracted thinking about something else I felt more important… but even that’s situational 🤔 thanks, I’ll chew on this
Same here! I keeping getting ISFP now, and it does make a lot of sense. But from what I've seen and researched so far, I think I'm more of an INFP, which was my result from years ago. It's driving me crazy too 🙃
One thing i think you should include in future isfp content is they're potential for actually actively despising people who both promote a lack of individuality and people who dont repeat a trend or whatever out of genuine value but out of a lack of reflection and an addiction to validation. I find myself in video games coming across the same copied player over and over, in music i hear nothing but blatant lying and self limiting, i watch movies and see the pretentiousness and lack of respect for the intelligence of the audience, and i actually to some peoples surprise actively am irritated by the glorification of stupidity and lack of care. I dont mean scientific knowledge, education or even studying philosophy, i mean generally being observant and reflective. I dont think it should just "be my personality", just the same as i gotta te and even ti at times, you all need to look inward and just stop for a second sometimes. I am a believer in individuality, but i absolutely despise those who actively limit eachother and themselves in my American society, i clearly see culture and individuality being supplemented and rendered novel and arbitrary on purpose and even manipulating culture intentionally to sell products and make people subconsciously feel validated by an authority out of a desire not to control, but generate money and products from. They arent even under "control" they are given the illusion of control through subscribing to belief "sets" and acting like its "individuality" and it really twists my guts up and makes me sick. I have no friends because i feel genuine fear of people.
How you know you are an ISFP: you are going to a Preppers convention to learn some new skills and take photgraphs and the biggest thing on your mind is what to wear 🤣
Fi-doms must be easy to spot - as an INTJ, I may have higher Te and thus be more occupationally-inclined, but maybe an even bigger difference between them and I is that for me, finding an occupation that matches my Fi doesn't work! 😮 It may be shocking, but people take one look at me and can tell instantly that I'm not an Fi-dom... I can be telling them about my passions, and they will look at me like, "Pull the other leg." I suspect Fi is a very non-competitive function though, and it doesn't seem to me to be built for or to work well under competitive expectations, which I think means that at it's best it can render an element of much-needed peace!👏
Fi is all about our inner worlds...bringing it totally out only works in negative🙅...Rather find something ur Fi can connect with and strive for rather than peace keeping function ,It can become a driving force stronger than any😄
@@eva.1826 "bringing it out totally only works in negative" - reminds me of a friend I had in my tweens who was perhaps an Fi-dom although she may have been Fi-tool; we would have fun just by sitting around and complaining about things but I think it got old after a while! - it certainly seems to be able to escalate negatively😩🥴
I remembered I asked one of my coworkers why I feel like people are shy when talking to me. My coworkers told me that I was quiet but very intimidating, but he couldn't explain why he just said that's what he feels about me. Because in my eyes I'm a pretty small guy that he could probably break in half if he tried.
Im isfp, im enough strategic and good at scheming but i never act on them. I act on plans which doesn't go against my heart and beneficial and for everyone.
yesss omg, we love isfps in this household, my best friend is an isfp and these are all so well said! (lovewho never lets us down huh) ps: could you guys do a video talking about how infps act when their Ne is well developed? I've been struggling to figure out my type for the nth time because I feel like I use so much Ne, not sure if the ''well development'' of my Ne is the main cause of that and I don't know if i'm ''just like this lately'' but yeah, I still wanna know (and how other types act with their well developed functions, especially polar functions), thank you!
Im a ENFJ-T and i totally love and appreciate ISFPs. I have a crush on one. I am also best friends with a INFJ-T. Been friends since i was 9. Im now 31
@@susanwright7682 haha true but I think that improves with age and maturity, at least in my experience, thankfully! (And if that absolutely can’t happen, then at least there might be improvement in communicating our thought process a little better!)
Why would an ISFP kiss a girl in front of me? For revenge, to make me feel jealous, to keep me from liking him or what? I know he's in love with me, but he always has a girlfriend, so it's not like he's giving any girlfriend up to pursue me. I don't think he's ever pursued me. I don't know.
Entj's are risk takers because of their Se while Estj's hate unnecessary risk taking because of their Si-Ne . Entj's are always active because of their Te-Se while Estj's are far more grounded.
@@osmankeremakn5080 true but estjs can use their Tertiary Ne to try a new way which is risky... Similarly the entj can just use their Se to experience variety of sensations... Personally i think rather than finding different sensory details ( Se) to service a particular vision ( Ni) people would consider new innovative ways of doing the same thing (Ne) as risky... What do u think of this?
When you mentioned ISFP's are commonly mistyped as INTJ... My draw dropped. Seriously, I was typed as an INTJ when I was 17.. These past few years I've always been ISFP.. I feel so exposed
I am individualistic to a certain way it’s not good. I meet my friends 2-3 times a week (part of it is also I used to have dramas with them). But I feel like atm I have no sense of belonging in a group. But at the same time I’m happy doing things for myself yet so lonely.
As an ISFP I definitely feel misunderstood and an outcast. I both desire friendships and feel that people are that "outside friction" that interferes with my desires to live in the moment. I get along with almost everyone but have never had any close friends or someone I would consider a best friend.
All my freinds are in groups that I don't feel like I'm apart of so I end up never talking to them
Same with the second half
That part where you said I get along with almost everyone but never had a close friend is very me it’s a struggle of being an ISFP but I think we value that. it’s part of our individualism we’d like to have a close friend but at the same time we know we don’t exactly fit the mold so we’ve just learned to accept it.
Let yourself be found by a enfp :)
I thought it was only me too,
ISFP content? it’s a miracle 🥰🥰🥰
Yes truly
Ikr! I dont see much isfp content
Right?
Yes 😋😋😋
Yes video of isfp are rare
"They value freedom, immensely. They want to live life on their own terms and somehow manage to beautifully balance sticking firmly to their own values without ever judging other people for theirs."
YES! YES! Brilliantly stated!
As an INFP, I find ISFPs very intriguing and inspirational, I feel like I need their views and opinions the most right now and I'll always try to implement some of their philosophy in my life.
I would like to be friends with INFPs. I thought I was gonna get infp on the test but I got isfp twice.
i love isfps so much! -infp
I have infp bestfriend, and I guess you're really feel close if you have isfp friemd right?
Reading these thoughts make me so happy because I'm an INFP and I really like an ISFP😍❤️🌍 hope
he likes me back🥺🤞
I was the same until I found an ESTJ friend, it’s scary how well we get along
Finally someone saying ISFP’s are highly intuitive. I’ve been mistyped as intuitive for so many times, and nearly all of my friends are intuitives, intuitive chatting and friendships just feel more natural than sensors
Hi ! I'm an ENFP and I can't live without my ISFP best friend. She is so creative and understands me the best. To all ISFP : you are amazing !
aww thank you, you are too :)
Thank you!! :3
You too, thanks!!
Thanks, my best friend is an an ENFP!
My crush seems to be an ISFP. I am an INFP tho 😆
As an ISFP, I can't think or plan for a future no matter how hard I try, besides imagining myself following phases and paths considered "mandatory" for other people, as a rule, setting expectations I never wanted and following plans that everyone expects me to follow, It makes me very insecure and afraid of my future... I have an immense desire to find something that I'm passionate about doing, or that brings me will and determination, something that I think "I want to do this for the rest of my life" or "I really love doing this", while I don't find it, I continue ignoring the future lol
As an ISFP, I absolutely agree!
Same
This is literally me, I even tried doing everything you just said and forcing my way into things I want to do for my life but I just can't find the passion and excitement for it, it's almost as if you're either too passionate for everything or you have none at all. I guess this is mostly an isfp thing XD
Same
Absolutely true🥲
as an intj, totally agree on the similarity between intj and isfp. every time i have convo with my isfp close friend we mostly reach to the same conclusion, but the lines of reasoning are slightly flipped.
That point was so interesting because I already knew that for some reason I get along great with ENTJs (don’t know enough INTJs I guess!) so that makes a lot of sense to me.
I'm ISFP and INTJ is my dad 😂
@@justme4579 ENTJ's basicly the extraworld of INTJ's so I'm sure u ll get to know them around u or maybe u already do✌
As an intj, I didn't know those even he keep said we r same in many thing. Now we did the IMTP test n we know why😂
unrelated but nice pfp :)
One of my favorite types. As an INTJ I've developed my tertiary Fi just by watching them and marveling at how they are able to fuse being easygoing and uncompromising. Two words that come to mind that were not mentioned in the video are "authenticity" and "playfulness".
those are two words I've heard an intj say about me:)
We appreciate it :)
This is heartwarming to read, thank you!! -ISFP
Exactly! Fusing easygoing and uncompromising. It really throws people. The eruption of passion followed by lassitude.
I love using humor to diffuse or puncture tensions and get right to the heart of a matter in a more loving, accepting, compassionate tone.
i dont care what people do as long as they leave me alone 😁
*as long as they don't hurt other people, in the other case I react
Exactly. That’s how I am with gay people. I don’t get why so many people are against it. Let people put their wieners where they want to put their wieners.
@@cristianofelicio1141 don't say it like it's just about sex
@@randaltichy6570 but it is. That’s the whole point of sexuality
@@cristianofelicio1141 it's just that when you put it like that in a topic of homophobia it suggest that straight couples love each other, homosexual fuck. I know you don't have to think like that, I just wanted to say it
As an ISFP I can understand why in my early days I often got misunderstood by my parents and everybody around me by doing what I think is fun. I often wander around the woods and observe the surroundings and because of that I get scolded or get beat up by my parents, I often do not respect my parent's uneccesary strict rules and I really despite when I felt manipulated by others. The fact that I found my parents very manipulative is because they set standards to myself often comparing me to other sons/daughter's achievement. Now I can understand why being an ISFP is so exhausting because I realized the world is very manipulative 😢 so I think as ISFP our best strength is our independence, seeking attentions and validation is a big mistake, we should connect more with our selves, do what is necessary to do and be more attentive on the manipulation of your surroundings, trust me we are not wrong it's just the world want's us to put in a box and be their puppets. We are supposed to be the Lone Wolves of society, the escapees of the matrix. I felt bad for some comments saying they felt bad for being ISFP. Don't feel bad for yourselves. "I say stop being perfect, let's evolve, let the chips fall where they may".
I know an ISFP who is an amazing illustrator and artist. He has a very definite sense of clean aesthetic that I can appreciate and seems surprisingly organized in his workspace for his type. He's difficult to really get to know but very easy going most of the time. When we meet with a diverse group of friends, certain topics like politics and religion are avoided and he is fine with that as he can be very opinionated which doesn't always end well with some others in the group. We have found it easiest to invite him but never expect him to show and never be judgmental on when he doesn't which has worked wonders for group cohesion. Overall he is very creative, easy going and perceptive. He prefers discussions to be more centered on current events and people, and less on the abstract.
Sounds a bit like INFJ tbh
Ngl you just described me 🤣 im also an illustrator which makes it even better
Can't speak for fellow ISFPs but I'm pretty organized in the sense that my space would probly "look messy" but everything is exactly where I want them to be. Idk if thats an isfp thing or what but I kinda think it is.
I was waiting for this. It was very accurate. The intuitive side of the isfp is bit overlooked. I used to be mistyped as an infj because of it.
Many ISFPs mistype as INFJ due to their tertiary Ni and sympathetic nature that gets confused with empathetic (Fe) nature.
I was typed as istp, intj and infp many times.
same. mistyped as infp and intp.
I used to mistyped as an intj and infj
My ISFP bf is very intuitive! He doesn't stay in the abstract realm as long as I can (INFJ), but we have some wonderful conversations.
So much more info here that's me, but I hadn't heard mentioned before. Especially that switch flipping.
I'm so quiet, allowing, encouraging, peaceful, friendly UNTIL I experience an injustice. Then I'm fiery- take me on... at your peril.
Yeah! If you mess with me, I might calmly accept it. If you mess with my friend, I'LL FRICK YOU UP!
All very true. I'm an INFJ who's been dating an ISFP for almost 3 years. I love his individuality and ability to connect with just about every single human, and we share a lot of intuitive insights. This was a fantastic video!
That’s amazing I’m also an INFJ and my boyfriend of 2,5 years is an ISFP! He’s always so down to earth and helps me stop my overthinking and also encourages me to be a biiiit more spontaneous sometimes haha
@@Lottiya Yesss! Exactly. I really think our types make a lovely match.
I have never clicked on a video this fast before 🤩 - ISFP
as an isfp, people hardly understand me so all they do is assume me as heartless. that’s the reason i have no friends and everyone isolate themselves from me when i just have social anxiety
i feel u. and also u are a stay lets be friends :)
Me too. My social anxiety just hits the chart even when I try with people. And I just end up blaming myself cause I think it's my fault.
No offense but sometimes you have to ask yourself maybe it's you who is the problem. I am an ENFP so I also use my Fi and I totally understand you! It feels so detrimental when people just assume stuff about me BUT the moment I helped myself improve, I noticed an improvement with my surroundings. You can't expect people to grasp your social anxiety but you can try communicating that to them!
ISFP and I recognize what I value most in life at the age of 10: Independence and Freedom. I still remember the moment of realization. And it made sense now why I even know what I value and also why I value those. The freedom to believe whatever and the independence to act accordingly when family memebers do not share the same beliefs.
Are we that rare? Because there's only few contents about us. It do makes me value these as little gems or doors for people to enter and understand us. I agree with some comments here, I also was mistyped as INFJ. Though there might be few qualities that fit if I were really an INFJ, when I took the test again and again (different year), I was typed as ISFP. Spontaneity runs in our personality. I have friends that would be surprised because I can move or travel to far places alone. I really love to travel alone. The sense of appreciating beauty: sunrise and sunset, rain, waves, clouds, smiles, and laughters.
INFP: I've had many ISFP friends and beyond-friends because they make great... friends. I have so much admiration for them and, frankly, a lot of envy too. They dress so well, just to begin with, and move so well and are so classy. In addition, their eye for aesthetics tends to be just a cut above and many have an unmatched natural talent for artistic pursuits. As my mom says about all of her cats, "they're beautiful, and they secretly know it."
This was so nice to read ty ❤️
my crush is an isfp and i have a feeling he does know lol
I’ve FINALLY realised I’m actually an ISFP. Due to a lot of trauma I’ve built up an ENTJ shell to protect and preserve my gentle, creative core. Because I’m doing this, I’m going precisely against my inner voice, I have felt lost and as though I am continuously betraying myself - because I am. I have suppressed Fi in a really unhealthy manner, to the point that I find it easier to talk to others (therapist) about my own feelings than I do admitting my feelings to myself. I have felt like a character, trying on different identity costumes (phases like this had me convinced for a while I was an INTP) but I’m not naturally as neurologically-charged as NT types, which makes maintaining the ENTJ shell that much more exhausting. Unfortunately, I’ve been suffering intense psychological abuse so becoming an outspoken, “emotionless” droid has been my only way to cope. I am also very easily overstimulated with sensory things (am diagnosed autistic), so the idea of minimalism has always appealed to me. Having said that, I can create some of the most detailed artwork that I’ve ever seen. But I really hate harsh criticism - not because I’m sensitive, but because it reflects that which _is_ me and to (unnecessarily) harshly criticise my artwork is to pick apart at me as a person. Yes that does sound like I’m being sensitive, but it’s just a boundary I couldn’t cross with other people, whether their endeavours were creative, logical or practical. Oh. I guess that _is_ being sensitive… oops 😅
this was like a poem to me
You seem like a really nice person. I too have been trying to deny my true self in order to cope, so i totally sympathize. I hope we will find healthier ways in the future as we evolve. Stay strong. Love infj
i am an ISFP, love more videos in depth about their feelings and love life, hobbies, feelings , when they are hurt, and more.... thanks for you awesome videos
“Despite often advocating for the simple approach to life, the are surprisingly non straightforward people” I really felt that statement.
I agree with everything you stated in the video. Especially the part about feeling misunderstood by other people and needing my environment to be organized. I’m constantly spending money to organize and decorate my apartment so I can just flow through it. Great video! It’s nice to feel understood by someone!
"Just flow through it", yesss! This is my goal for my home as well, and points to you for the poetic descriptive language! I deeply crave an organized and beautiful space that I can maintain throughout the day, so it never builds up into maddening mayhem. Cozy but breezy -- that's what I want. Bets wishes on you achieving the same! ^_^
Just learned that Elvis may have been an ISFP from this article I read, and everything you said based off of what I know about him makes so much sense! It's cool to understand him as well as others!
Thank you 🙏🏻. Im happy you dont just describe us as ”artists” or focused on just estethics. There is more to it definately. Even thou beauty is important, its just on the surface.
thank you! for your insigh! That "don't fence me in" mentality balanced with not judging others yet sticking firmly to their own values with passion and determination! .yes. I must be an ISFP :)
It's interesting that you mention them being the typical hero type taking on hordes of enemies, I am quite peaceful but for some reason in games I also have said switch where I do just that.
Nathan, as always you're so clear and so on point when talk about us ISFPs. Thank you for your videos.
Really glad to hear you’re enjoying them! If you haven’t already please feel free to check out our discord server (the link is in the description) it would be awesome to have more ISFPs on there! ~ Nathan
I feel like out of all the people I've ever met, the ISFP was the hardest for me to figure out as an INTJ but at the same time, we had similar goals too. Just different ways of wanting to achieve them maybe.
Why was it hardest to figure out??
@@onajideshou3345 Honestly, I'm really not sure. I've met a couple now and they're just off in their own world while I'm in my own different world it seems. They're all very unique and individualistic which is amazing. But I think where we differ is that the ones I've met seem to be more in touch with people's feelings and with like the world in general...which I'm not so great at (but getting better!)
@@SilverScorpio17 Oh i love intj's haha...we are secretly most similar types as we use same function axis just up and down .We move forward in similar directions even cross paths immensely ..I love to have good chats with intj's
@@SilverScorpio17 I'm ISFP and have an INTJ friend, and I always think SHE'S the one who's more in touch with the world in general because she can Te get it and maneuver through it. I need to break down before I'm ready to face this world's Te, then "shapeshift" into a different character, then have another breakdown when it's over.
I feel the same way!! im an isfp and my friend is an intj, i connect with her very easily but shes impossible to read and I never know what shes thinking (which leads to arguments and misunderstandings)
oh man. i wish my isfp friend had been this healthy. i saw flashes of it, but i think she got stuck in a loop. she had a tendency to project and intrusively push her feelings onto the people around her, often unfairly accusing them of things they didn't mean. her ability to "read between the lines" was very poor, but it was skewed by her low self esteem and insecurity. she was constantly reading into things i hadn't said, or identifying negative implications i hadn't meant. it was truly exhausting to deal with and i had to cut ties after about a year of her being in this negative space. i NEVER doorslam people close to me because they get 1.4 million chances and i'm able to reason away their behavior, but i was truly exhausted mentally.
i'm an entp for the record.
Sounds very similar to my experience with an unhealthy isfp. Exactly as you said, I saw flashes of what he could have been if he hadn't been so stuck in a negative loop, which is why I gave him too many chances. I felt emotionally drained and trapped, I could never predict what he might interpret as something negative.
I truly loved him, but it was very exhausting.
And I'm an infp
Oh dear..Sounds like my mother tbh lol.
She did the test once and got ESFP but
Claims she wasn’t ever very extroverted at all. But ISFP (unhealthy) sounds pretty spot on right about now ngl
That’s interesting. I’m ISFP but I always had the opposite “problem”.. I always tend to be way too optimistic and trusting, no “reading between the lines” for me! I actually specifically preferred to ignore the “between the lines” because it felt like I was looking for unnecessary negativity. As I got older I learned (sometimes the hard way!) not to trust so easily.. it helped that I married the most cynical ENTP ever lol
@@justme4579 i don't think it's an isfp's natural way of being. like i said, she was just a very unhealthy isfp; if you look at isfps when "in a loop", you can see some of the behaviors i'm talking about :)
on the whole though, i do not believe isfps are this way naturally. we all start behaving differently when under stress.
@@zelda-fitzgerald yea what a shame though! I personally think the best part of being ISFP is the optimism and positivity.. a pity when someone loses that.
Since I was a child I have been aware that I move towards humans most others avoid and move away from humans that most others move towards. So yes you get that feeling that you are an outsider looking in. I have never felt unsafe,insecure or uncomfortable in my decisions and saying that there was this small inner voice asking why specifically do I do that. Yes in life I do attract some of the most toxic people they believing that I am easy prey because they see I am socially isolated they are completely clueless that it is self imposed. You have no idea how many bullies misjudged me when they realized that I was not waiting for them I was the hunter and they were my prey. I saw shock,disbelief and real fear in their eyes. I like to think that maybe I changed them to healthier behaviours towards others.
finally a new isfp video!! I've been waiting for this one
my best friend is an ISFP and he's one of the coolest and most wonderful people I've ever met. I'm ENFP.
it surprises me that people say ENFPs don't get along with ISFPs. so not true.
In my experience, you are correct..until you set or enforce a boundary with them. They view those limits as you stomping on their individuality, and will revolt against you. If you have a different value than them, they take it as a personal attack on their values. They are also very envious of our extroversion, considering it as a sign that there is something wrong with them. They often resort to snide comments, and passive aggressiveness to try to emotionally punish ENFPs for simply being different from them. I have been close with 3 ISFPs so far, and this has happened with all of them.
@@LizzMo well, in my experience the ISFPs I know have never crossed my boundaries and I've never had to set those with them. and if I ever did, I know they'd respect them, especially my best friend, bc it's one of the things he really preaches about.
I think you might have known unhealthy ISFPs. I'm close to only one but I know two others on a superficial level; they all are quite cool. they don't seem to envy me.
Yes, I would agree they are unhealthy ISFPs. ENFPs like to try to help and influence unhealthy people for the better, to our own detriment. 🤦🏻♀️
@@LizzMo oh yeah, I can confirm. I used to do that. it really opened me up to being hurt.
@@LizzMo uhh ISFPs aren't all the same, you know? these are pretty unhealthy traits, so I guess those friends of yours were pretty unhealthy ISFPs to say the least
You are so on point with all points! 🤪 thanks for showcasing us
I took a personality test a while ago and got intj. I thought that it wasn't completely 100% correct. I took the test again recently and got isfp, and it describes me perfectly :)
Thank you sm for this, there is not enough ISFP content out there! I found this to be extremely relatable as an ISFP 4w3
This is one of the only channels I've found that has described isfps in a way I relate to so deeply!
WOWY WOW WOW! Very good! I feel seen. This is the most complete ISFP summary, and in such a brief time, too!
ISxPs are the most intuitive sensing types
I like to think of the ISFP as reacting to the emotions of others with the same emotions (If you happy, they happy. If you mad, they mad).
I see this with my ISFP bf. As soon as I get moody, he gets moody, and if I'm giddy, he's giddy. I usually absorb other people's emotions (INFJ), but he's always so chill, he rarely triggers negative feelings.
Wow as an isfp i’ve never felt so understood by someone. Thanks for making this vid!!!!!! 🥺
Woaah finally it's ISFP turn :'v I love how you describe us without focusing too much on our sad artistic side. What we are is just simply ppl who have strong values but respects other's differences.
I have a best friend who is an INTJ, being himself he usually makes lots of dark jokes. I normally laugh it off and try to understand that it's just the way he talk, and he doesn't mean any harm. But there was 1 time he accidentally tapped on a topic that I have very very strong opinions on, and I just suddenly snapped, we were walking tgt, I just turned my head and walked the opposite direction. He was taken aback and very surprised of this intense side of mine. He said it was the first time he felt so flustered and tried to apologize to someone hahah~
I usually never get angry. I really hate confrontations. None of my friends have ever seen me snap and get furious. But there was one time a coworker I had decent chemistry with revealed that she was racist. I tried to reason with her, but she's an ENTJ and got debatable with me. I felt that was not something to debate about and snapped there and got seriously pissed. Fun times. Haven't heard her say the N-word since though.
@Tranitosaur Ayyyy, you legend ❤
The ISFP I have met hate being put in a box like MBTI but they could gain a lot from it. Seems to be an irony of MBTI/psychology in general.
Thanks Mr Nathan Glass :D please keep them comming, there great!
literally yesterday i found out im not intj even if i believed that from the bottom of my heart-converted yet happy isfp
I got mistyped as INTJ a few times and it never really felt right, but when I got typed as ISFP it really rang true, so much so, and related to my childhood and early adulthood much more. So glad that I finally got typed properly, now it all fits 100%
Wow,he definitely has us down. I've never heard someone describe me so well without knowing me lol
Wow, best description of an ISFP that I’ve found yet :o)
yes I was the one isfp mistyped as intj, for a long time, finally I feel relieved, I was in wrong circle lot's of entj and intj they all are cold, blunt & argumentative, not that supportive at all, I leave those circles and met awesome esfj man who really click with me, always help me and checks my emotions, I realize I need compatible circle and I found it even if it's late
Thank you for helping me to know myself better. I needed this. Tbh this video made me Cry while I was just tryna clam down myself because of the argument with my family. I really feel like outsider. My elder sis and Mom criticize me for not being able to household works. No one even asks me how I feel. I haven't eaten the whole day but no one really cares. Is it my fault if I get sick too much and weak? I'm suffering from sepsis these days but that seems nothing to them cz I don't share about how sick I feel. It kinda makes me embarrassed to share my feelings in real life. Sometimes strangers from social medias make me feel better than my own family
Wooww thank you so much. I feel like "finally someone understand me even before myself" 🥰
Your video help me to learn about myself, about selfcare, honestly it's hard to find ISFP content, but you make it and explain about ISFP very well and easy to understand
*BigHug* *Virtual Hug*
(I'm sorry, english is not my first language)
Hi Nathan,
First off, I want to thank you for this video. Accurate representation of an ISFP is rare, but you have it down pat.
I can tell you I spent more than an hour watching this 2 minute video, constantly going back and replaying and thinking about how these things applied to me and the people I know. You just put so much into it, I wanted to make sure I absorbed every word.
Is there an answer to that dilemma of compromising ideals for stability (conventional life paths)? Or something that can make it easier? Because that’s exactly where I am right now...
Not an ISFP but my only hope was Neville Goddard. It’s working very well so far
@@nigelharvey640 Thank you for mentioning this author. I have just ordered his book 'Feeling is the Secret'. It looks perfect for ISFP!
Good content - I feel they're stoic on the outside but would like it if someone noticed that they were trying hard too and acknowledged their efforts without making a spectacle of it. I feel that ISFPs so want to be "not a burden to anyone" that they end up managing their things all by themselves. But deep inside they'd like someone to create safe structures for them too. I guess that's why the ISFP and ESTJ get along well?
My child is an ISP I think. I'm an ENFP. So this is my guess about her.
Can some bonafide ISFP confirm?
I’ve certainly have had to combat that feeling, and probably always will.
I think you’re 100% right on being more stoic outside while it’s different inwards, it can feel like such an intense emotional rollercoaster but it’s difficult to express that.
And often I would feel embarrassed if I had 😅
Ig vulnerability isn’t easy for everyone tho, but having really supportive and reliable friends and family has made it much easier and I appreciate them all for that.
If ya kid is by chance an isfp it may take a while before they start expressing their thoughts and such (this is mostly cause we’re figuring things out for ourselves about ourselves and that takes time).
But they’ll eventually share once they’ve thought it through enough and are comfortable with doing so
Well..
Comfortable enough to try anyways
And as time goes on and you stay reliable and assuring, or a great person to jump thoughts off with you’ll start getting some fun new ideas that haven’t been fully explored but sparked
This was a tangent brought to by an isfp! Hoped it helped?
Oh and so true on not making a spectacle about it 😅
But still wanting to be acknowledged 😊
SO THAT'S WHY I KEEP GETTING INTJ ON 16PERSONALITIES OH MY GOD I FEEL SO SEEN RN
“There is a switch they can flip where they are unleashed and unstoppable.” ❤
Yes kinda right I also thought at first I was an INTJ. But technically im more on ISFP I think, this more resonates me like legit often people misunderstood me. And I like freedom.
I get acquainted with people but i never had really close friends, groups, or even someone I'd call a best friend. I am familiar with a lot of people, but i dont seem to know them deeply. (and vice versa)
Literally same
Very charismatic and charming, people person, whose shy at times and intimidated by people at first encounters. Tend to want people to like them, fantastic at captivating audiences with their witty charm, when they're relaxed around people. Creativity and being artistic, seems to come easy to them. Fantastic writers and good at debating, yet they can be walking dictionaries, and encyclopedias on random topics they enjoy, due to their love for consuming information and constant learning Fi/Se.
Come off as intelligent people due to there amazing people skills, makes friends easy and is loved by all typically, if you ever go out of your way get to know them. Yes you might have to chase them down, they like to be hermits at times... Just dont expect them to compete anything, or possibly start a new thing, they are massive procrastinators, they tend to half do everything they do. Usually perfectionists, highly critical of themselves, refuse to cut any corners on processes due to their perfectionism. The slow way is the best way for an ISFP! They are the snail in the race, slow and steady, hence why they rarely start or complete tasks, too much work they'll say, rather give up before they start.
Fantastic at counseling all inferior Fi users on how to be emotionally aware of others, tend to love/admire Te users due to their own inferior Te. Have terrible long term memories, expect them to never learn from previous mistakes, due to not remembering them. They will debate you over them instead, saying black and blue they never heard of it before or done this or that. Which they seemed to have forgotten all about... once again... can become a broken record of continuous bad ideas causing problems in their life without an Si user to remind them of past experiences.
I'm an ESTJ and my brothers an ISFP
Ngl ik people are like astrology isn’t real but it makes sense bc I’m a cap moon it’s kinda hard to make friends and I mostly like being alone , and I’m Taurus rising and I like being on my own pace
Can confirm. I get mistyped as INTJ a lot as a fairly abstract ISFP. Its s strainge because it seems like INTJs don't get mistyped as ISFPs much. Lol
I’m trying to figure out if I’m INFP or ISFP. I used to score INFP, but now my results come back as S. I know there’s a lot of variables that influence our type, but I seriously feel like I’m in between these 2 lol. It’s driving me crazy
INFP are Not Social. Not good at conversing. .. very awkward.
Not quite there with you, floating, distracted. IMO.
Conversely, ISFP ‘s very present to the person and environment.
Interact easily, make jokes, can be silly.
@@camillea7697 hmm. I think if I’ve ever felt that awkward way it was because my mind was distracted thinking about something else I felt more important… but even that’s situational 🤔 thanks, I’ll chew on this
Same here! I keeping getting ISFP now, and it does make a lot of sense. But from what I've seen and researched so far, I think I'm more of an INFP, which was my result from years ago. It's driving me crazy too 🙃
Dude just told my life story in two minutes
Isfp protagonists: Eren Yaeger, Itadori, Harry Potter
One thing i think you should include in future isfp content is they're potential for actually actively despising people who both promote a lack of individuality and people who dont repeat a trend or whatever out of genuine value but out of a lack of reflection and an addiction to validation. I find myself in video games coming across the same copied player over and over, in music i hear nothing but blatant lying and self limiting, i watch movies and see the pretentiousness and lack of respect for the intelligence of the audience, and i actually to some peoples surprise actively am irritated by the glorification of stupidity and lack of care. I dont mean scientific knowledge, education or even studying philosophy, i mean generally being observant and reflective. I dont think it should just "be my personality", just the same as i gotta te and even ti at times, you all need to look inward and just stop for a second sometimes. I am a believer in individuality, but i absolutely despise those who actively limit eachother and themselves in my American society, i clearly see culture and individuality being supplemented and rendered novel and arbitrary on purpose and even manipulating culture intentionally to sell products and make people subconsciously feel validated by an authority out of a desire not to control, but generate money and products from. They arent even under "control" they are given the illusion of control through subscribing to belief "sets" and acting like its "individuality" and it really twists my guts up and makes me sick. I have no friends because i feel genuine fear of people.
How you know you are an ISFP: you are going to a Preppers convention to learn some new skills and take photgraphs and the biggest thing on your mind is what to wear 🤣
Yep
Wow!!
Made me laugh, so true!
You don't know how many times i have replayed ur isfp videos
Holy shit, most accurate portrayal ive heard to date.
Great vid. Very accurate👌
Fi-doms must be easy to spot - as an INTJ, I may have higher Te and thus be more occupationally-inclined, but maybe an even bigger difference between them and I is that for me, finding an occupation that matches my Fi doesn't work! 😮 It may be shocking, but people take one look at me and can tell instantly that I'm not an Fi-dom... I can be telling them about my passions, and they will look at me like, "Pull the other leg." I suspect Fi is a very non-competitive function though, and it doesn't seem to me to be built for or to work well under competitive expectations, which I think means that at it's best it can render an element of much-needed peace!👏
Fi is all about our inner worlds...bringing it totally out only works in negative🙅...Rather find something ur Fi can connect with and strive for rather than peace keeping function ,It can become a driving force stronger than any😄
@@eva.1826 "bringing it out totally only works in negative"
- reminds me of a friend I had in my tweens who was perhaps an Fi-dom although she may have been Fi-tool; we would have fun just by sitting around and complaining about things but I think it got old after a while! - it certainly seems to be able to escalate negatively😩🥴
ISFPs are actually really attractive even though we don't stereotypically go together very well...
- An ISTP 😗
If there's one thing ISFPs hate, it's stereotypes and labels 😌

I really did need this video, thank you so much!!!❤❤ #ISFPsquad
you started out right by complimenting us 👏🏻
This is very illuminating.
Isfp here who recently took the test. Feel like this man has described me to a high level of accuracy 😂
Watching this from my bedroom filled w moving boxes … from a move that happened 3 weeks ago 😩😩😩
I feel your pain! ~ Nathan
I remembered I asked one of my coworkers why I feel like people are shy when talking to me. My coworkers told me that I was quiet but very intimidating, but he couldn't explain why he just said that's what he feels about me. Because in my eyes I'm a pretty small guy that he could probably break in half if he tried.
Im isfp, im enough strategic and good at scheming but i never act on them. I act on plans which doesn't go against my heart and beneficial and for everyone.
yesss omg, we love isfps in this household, my best friend is an isfp and these are all so well said! (lovewho never lets us down huh)
ps: could you guys do a video talking about how infps act when their Ne is well developed? I've been struggling to figure out my type for the nth time because I feel like I use so much Ne, not sure if the ''well development'' of my Ne is the main cause of that and I don't know if i'm ''just like this lately'' but yeah, I still wanna know (and how other types act with their well developed functions, especially polar functions), thank you!
As an INTP with a developed inferior Fe, I love my ISFP friends for their carefree and subtle nature.
If my profile pic isn’t enough of a hint, I am an ISFP. And this video is absolutely spot on!
Im a ENFJ-T and i totally love and appreciate ISFPs. I have a crush on one. I am also best friends with a INFJ-T. Been friends since i was 9. Im now 31
This is as accurate it gets for ISFPs. My partner is EXACTLY like this, this video described her TO THE T
As an ENTP I can't say I'm a fan (more like the opposite.) but I do like how chill they can be sometimes.
Lol I’m married to an ENTP. He definitely came around to the idea haha it’s a pretty interesting pairing, so much for each of us to learn!
The ISFP in me says “move along then” ;) to be fair, we can be hard to deal with if you need us to compromise when we don’t want to
@@susanwright7682 haha true but I think that improves with age and maturity, at least in my experience, thankfully! (And if that absolutely can’t happen, then at least there might be improvement in communicating our thought process a little better!)
My step-dad is an ENTP and I am an ISFP and it is some times very difficult to get along🤦
bro
Why would an ISFP kiss a girl in front of me? For revenge, to make me feel jealous, to keep me from liking him or what? I know he's in love with me, but he always has a girlfriend, so it's not like he's giving any girlfriend up to pursue me. I don't think he's ever pursued me. I don't know.
"whether by justice, or by vengance" i feel like that taps into the 9 enneagram and branches to 9w1 vs the 9w8 lmao
thank for such a great content
As an ISFP I definitely feel like batman.
After listening to this now I know who I am, does anybody feel the same way ?
What a great video. Thank you.
Hi, Jason. I love your videos. Sometimes you talk about exactly what I was asking myself. It's good finding this content on youtube. Thank you!!
@@jainiteixeira9615 thank you
Would love an entj vs estj video.... The struggle is real... 😥
Entj's are risk takers because of their Se while Estj's hate unnecessary risk taking because of their Si-Ne . Entj's are always active because of their Te-Se while Estj's are far more grounded.
@@osmankeremakn5080 true but estjs can use their Tertiary Ne to try a new way which is risky... Similarly the entj can just use their Se to experience variety of sensations... Personally i think rather than finding different sensory details ( Se) to service a particular vision ( Ni) people would consider new innovative ways of doing the same thing (Ne) as risky... What do u think of this?
When you mentioned ISFP's are commonly mistyped as INTJ... My draw dropped. Seriously, I was typed as an INTJ when I was 17.. These past few years I've always been ISFP.. I feel so exposed
I'm an ISFP, and it's exactly me you are talking about!
Mike Tyson is possibly an ISFP. Hearing the words he says are unexpectedly wise.
Thank you for this summary.
Hope you enjoyed the video! ~ Nathan
You couldn't have described me any better.
Mannnnn this is great
I am individualistic to a certain way it’s not good. I meet my friends 2-3 times a week (part of it is also I used to have dramas with them). But I feel like atm I have no sense of belonging in a group. But at the same time I’m happy doing things for myself yet so lonely.
Like literally every ‘the chosen one’ protagonist in ya story is an ISFP
Isfp always Living in a Beautiful Art World and enjoy alone, Because I am Isfp, God giving gift..😊
The only reason I finally worked out I am isfp is when I googled my stress responses. I though I was an “IN” before that point
Being an ISFP is tough.
Being an ISFP in Russia is even tougher. I'm lucky that I didn't end up in prison. Just in jail for two days.)
Лол, привет)))
