@@jillainenewman1358 - I'm sorry to hear that but not surprised... 🤕 In my experience, it's the power of our survival instinct that overrides and vetoes our intuitive knowing so powerfully we never really get a firm grasp as to how trapped we become in life. 👉 For, I was able to use several avocations to help me find and develop the skills and confidence needed to break free from the unconscious traps that held me back. Consider volunteering someplace that feels relevant and feeds your need for purpose... Let me know what you decide and how it works out. ❤️
@@theStoicMedium This might sound weird, but would it be possible to speak with you or email you? I feel compelled to ask. Perhaps there's a reason the Universe led me to your channel this morning. 😊
@@jillainenewman1358 - I'm glad you did ask. My email is Terry@Spirit360.org We can also connect on FaceBook in our Spirit360 Fellowship Group. The best way to connect with me in person is at one of our weekly Spirit360 Fellowship Services. We use zoom and there is time set aside so you can ask me anything. You can get your invite at Spirit360.org The last option, which some people prefer, is to book a private session with me at tsHall.com
I've had problems with retail!!!! It's just so mundane. Was a photographer for a while, but the sales part was extricating for me. I'm currently on again, off again with being a vet tech. Thinking about going back to it but, just doing front desk? I always seem to butt heads with most veterinary Drs. I do it for the animals. They're better than people.
I cry everyday, every night because of how awful I am. I'm so sensitive. Confrontation, customer's complains are making me sad. I'm an INFP-T. I'm easy to get panicked. When I'm panicked, I can't think and words are just randomly come out from my mouth. I have no skills. My passion is writing a novel. But, writing a novel won't give me a monthly salary at the moment. I just want to have a peaceful life and alone with my loved one. But, that's impossible since I live in this world where everything needs money. I just... I just want to stay at my home, writing a novel, and taking care of someone I love..
Hi Kezia, Thank you for connecting and I think you're definitely not alone in your struggles. As I read you comment, I was reminded of Stephen King's book on writing and how he juggled writing with a day job and the struggles he endured learning the process of writing while navigating our physical world. The best we can do is find the least distracting way of paying the bills while we learn our craft and make material our dreams. Good luck with your novel.
I relate to this so much. The last Part time Job I tried to work in was in a Boba store. It was fun and I love the atmosphere...but I wasn't made for the smalltalk and I wasn't fast enough to learn the drinks. I'm also a stay at home mom and my boyfriend works. We want more kids, in Germany it is totally normal to stay at home with your Baby for at least 1 year. I want to make a living with Vtubing together with my boyfriend and soon we start our Webcomic together. My boyfriend also believes that I'm destined to work from home and earn money with my passions. Sure the growing prosses on Twitch is slow because I refuse to download Tik Tok because I want a real true community that I can help and listen to their problems. So far we have a little community and I love it, I appreciate everyone who opens up to me and comes back every now and then, interacting with these people of all ages is the most fullfilling thing I ever did in my life.
Kezia… I have many suggestions that may help you but first, have you considered doing a REIKI energy clearing session? Reading your comment I had a vision of all of these chaotic energies attached to you from a past life that need to be released. Once you do that, implement meditation into every morning’s routine. Yoga: Your body needs movement to align with your energy. If you’re not doing yoga you will feel anxiety. I don’t recommend hardcore cardio workouts for you until you feel RE-centered & those extra energies have been released. For one hour everyday, put on some spa music and use that time to do a brain dump into your laptop for your book. Just dump whatever comes into your mind, not worrying about structure or order. Let me know how those suggestions work!
& for the record… knock off the BS of saying you’re awful. It’s offensive that you speak that way to yourself so knock it off. You wouldn’t tell your best friend how awful they are, I’m sure. So If you’re not going to be your own best friend then you won’t attract your true soul mate into your life. When your brain starts to fill your head with those thoughts, say out loud “STOP! I am a child of the most high God of this Universe & he didn’t make any mistakes when he made me!” Those are the demonic spirits that have attached to you speaking those thoughts into existence & those are the ones that need to be released and commanded to return to their source. Go get some REIKI babygirl.❤
I'm also an INFP-T, and I really feel your pain - even if you'll never read this, maybe someone else will stumble across my comment by accident: I don't really know where to go, nor where to stay. We INFP-Ts are like torn souls, not quite fitting into this world as it is. The only way I've found to get by is to pretend I'm like them. Life gets instantly easier if I just act like I belong. And then, there's the 'Me-Time'-when I'm alone in my safe space. Surrounded by people who might not fully get me, but who accept me just as I am. Remember, it’s okay to feel out of place - our way of seeing the world is rare, but it’s also beautiful in its own way. We may not always fit perfectly, but maybe that’s because we're meant to create our own spaces, our own little worlds. Keep nurturing that gentle spirit of yours, and don’t give up on your dreams. The world might be a hard place, but there are corners in it made just for us, where we can be exactly who we are.
Avoid: 1. Anything others want you to be 2. Anything just for money 3. Anything that doesn’t develop a specific skill Thank you for your great videos about Infps. I am also an infp. Searched for a long time for a video which integrates infp character type and spiritualism. Thank you and thank to universe!
I don't usually comment, but this morning, I woke up too early again, with lots of ideas floating around. I decided to give in and get up, making coffee and starting to write things down in my journal. I began to peruse UA-cam, just following my feelings. I watched a video by a content creator about her process. She was so real and transparent. I wrote down a couple of points, then, I thought I'd do another search for INFP job ideas and I found something new! This video. I am currently just starting out on yet another medical leave. It's not surprising that my life keeps crashing down on me, since I never seem to make it out of survival. Every time, I start out with the intention of finding work that is suitable for me, but then reaching a point of desperation and having to go out and get the first job I can find to earn money. I always go for the customer service/office administration and not so long ago cleaning (hey, I did get a car to drive). But, after years of this, I do believe that I have developed skill in areas that do round me out more. I agree with you, I wanted to develop skill in the area of entrepreneurism, self-employment, running a business. I wanted to learn from people that already were doing that. I clashed with them every time! But I did develop skills. I have gone through many periods of unemployment. I have done tons of self-assessments. I even saw a psychologist who gave me an IQ test! He suggested working alone :). I know from testing, reading and life experience that I am an INFP. I am introverted but as I mentioned before, I have developed skill in extrovert areas. I also have noticed there is a performer in me who wants to be speaking in front of people with the right material, or possibly a comedian or sound healer. Again, I agree with you, when I believe in something that I have experienced, I love to promote it. I know that I am a highly sensitive person and an empath. I have picked up thoughts, feelings and symptoms from other people. I experienced night terror once after hearing it described by someone. Not fun! I have explored some healing arts and paid a lot of money to get training, but I never used these skills to build a business. I did a bit of Reiki on others, but that's about it. Right now, I am learning about Zen Buddhism from Cheri Huber's books and through her websites. I started learning about recording and listening which seems like a highly effective practice. I am learning to switch my attention. This is the culmination of decades of mental practice though. I practice Transcendental Meditation. Not very consistently. I am working through an online course about the asanas that the guru suggested we practice to support the meditation. I sought out help from the local mental health office and will be receiving counselling and attending groups. The areas I want to work on are grief, trauma, stress management, the years of life with a loved one who struggled with drugs, anxiety. Mainly, I want the sense of being in a community or sangha. I am also working on my creative projects and challenging myself to actually do it! Not just fantasize about it or make notes. I have a list of projects in a variety of mediums. One of these is videos that combine words with images for the benefit of others. I know I am here to help. I would like to advertise for a volunteer to allow me to just intuitively help them with whatever comes up like sound healing or energy work or words or movements. I know that once I get into that heart space, the ideas flow. I have had difficulty with jobs that required me to be seen by people! Yes, that is always there in the background. If there is a higher purpose that I feel passionate about I overcome this. But I forget that I need to take care of myself after having exposed myself to scrutiny. The people I wanted to emulate usually were difficult to work with. I find it difficult to work with micromanagers who are constantly watching me. I tend to create plans of action and I have difficulty with bosses who don't allow me to follow my vision and are constantly trying to manage me and interrupting my creative flow. Maybe they can't see how my actions are leading to the outcome they desire. I often take a few steps back to organize before proceeding. Or I take a slow time to gather in tons of information before I emerge with a system that is highly efficient. I get interrupted too early in that process. Difficulty with communication due to fear and anxiety creates problems. Harsh environments filled with noise and vibrations are draining. Selling a product I didn't feel passionate about and having to upsell people. I was let go and told that I was not hungry enough. Jobs that were too physical for me. They put me in fight or flight. In one job, I wouldn't admit to needing down time. I ended up on medical leave with permanent physical damage. Customer service which involved long hours exposed to people. I could probably go on. I've had a long series of difficult jobs. I did go back to school a couple of times. That was also a lot more stressful than I thought it would be. My intentions for going back and my choice of program were also suspect. I was amazed to find your video. It spoke to me directly. I did have a look at your website and may attend a service to check it out. Thank you.
24 years old and i still feel lost. i do not like my job (finance) but I don't want to lose my source of income. I don't feel like i am good at anything tbh
Have you considered working on a cruise ship? It sounds like your brain requires more right brain balance than a left brain dominant career can offer. A cruise ship career could provide you with that balance
I ticked all three INFP, HSP and empath. I pursued a degree in dentistry and it fell into no. 1 category that you mentioned. There was a constant conflict between wanting to help people and not resonating with my innate beliefs and abilities. It literally ate me up inside and I was on the verge of developing anxiety disorder. Now I have stopped the practice. My mental health has improved significantly although I still cannot fully forgive myself from not being able to fulfill my family's expectations and becoming helpful for others. I'm still in a STEM career but I am much happier now that I can bring some of my INFP qualities to the table. Still working on how I could fully embody my full potential and as I know you know that energy healing has naturally attracted me. Thank you so much for sharing you insights.
I'm sn INFP male as well 28 years old with multiple Unfinished degrees. Now I just work in a warehouse to stay a float but I believe I can still develop a skill on the side to break free from working a 9-5. However I don't know what to go into and I'm scared of failing over and over again. I found this video very helpful though
Had you abusive parents? Are you the scapegoat of your family??? My head constantly hurts. I have saggitarius sun Scorpio moon Pisces rising And mAsTer nR 11 = only disadvantages like chronic fatique, sleeping disorders, insomnia I wast want to be on my own. But I am not logical-> because I have pisces rising and my descendant is virgo. I hate my life. I just want a good job and leave me alone without headache and emotion and emotion and MAsTEr nr 11 -> only disadvantages.
I'm an infp who is very aware of my awareness and difficulties with navigating this world. Through a series of finding and forgetting my spiritually and attempting to numb myself from the feeling of my own emotions that I believed was from the external world I came cross the intense inability to find an imaginative new perspective sub consciously, shifting my reality to realizing how much hurt my spirit was protecting me from. On behalf of pleasing someone else and putting my needs side like iv done many times before, only this time I did something different...I put all of my creative art supplies in a trunk and put them into storage. It took 3 years for me to be hit with the sudden shift realizing I was a depressed alcoholic with a lack of self awareness and low consciousness suppressed by alcohol. This inevitably led me up to spiritually and to the mbti community and it all made a fill circle moment that yes I now feel I needed to fully fee my eternal purpose. Bc of my resilience not bc of mbti. My generative drive to self discovery and my loyal commitment to my spirit
Hi I am now 32 years old As an INFP The biggest mistake I made in my life was working for money I put pressure on myself and tried to convince myself that this was the right thing because everyone does this. In the end, I was diagnosed with depression and I continued to suffer from it and try to recover for the past 3 years. Unimportant information: I do not believe in the existence of karma, energy, and these things, and I believe they are myths. Gratefully
very true i agree on the last info and yes its a struggle as the search is endless and you kinda know that the workplace is not for you. have you ever tried eating a carnivore diet? it helped me a lot mentally
Coming across your videos tonight we’re truly a blessing. I was sitting outside on my deck watching the sunset, enjoying the beauty. Watching the clouds pass by, and all the while talking to the higher power. I look over and in the clouds I see the words “just ask”. I’ve been going through a tough situation with deciding how I can find my souls purpose. I am an INFP, intuitive empath. Very spiritual, started this spiritual awakening back in April 2016. Needless to say I asked the universe for guidance this evening, I was led to your channel this evening. When I get the goosebumps, it’s a sign from spirit that I’m either hearing or speaking the genuine truth. I’ve literally have gotten goosebumps multiple times listening to your guidance. Thank you so very much !! Much love and light to you and yours!!
Thank you for the spiritual perspective that you added to the psychological personality test. I tested an INFP-T, so I guess I need the spiritual practice indeed. I am on my third career, this time hopefully more in alignment with my soul 's purpose. Am highly sensitive and empathetic.
I am 45 and made a career in large global logistics companies. Especially in the last years I became permanently stressed and very close to burnout. I pulled the plug now and resigned. Now took the time to reflect (I love to have time for this) and understand my true self. Found out I am an INFP and I was totally in wrong jobs. I have one big skill and that is deep level of emotional intelligence so I am now considering jobs where I can help people with psychological issues. As you correctly said in the video, spirituality is - next to freedom and harmony- a value I just discovered as being very important to me. Thank you for this video !!
So do I but in the accounting field. I am just 26 years old now and I quit the audit field to the accountant field (still looking for a job now) but my mind tells me that I don't want to do both anymore, it's so boring and I don't like the environment of math and strict deadline, moreover people in this work field is so mean, btw I don't dare to leave this career path cuz it pays better than others. Actually, I feel interested in journalism and advertising creative for no reason but I don't know how to jump in those fields and my family told me that it paid not very well. Now, I think about it a lot about my future and still try to figure it out and hope someday, there will be an answer.
Holly shit found out I was Infp about a year ago. Realised I am an empath about 2 weeks ago. My life makes a lot more sense now. I was always puzzled why I avoided people and especially large groups.
Welcome @Paul - I'm glad you found us. Awareness is the first step toward power. I'm looking forward how seeing how you use progress now that you can make sense of some of your mental and emotional wiring. We're here to help you consciously rewire your experiences when/if you're ready. Again welcome and thank you for connecting.
I am an INFP-T, and took the MBTI test last year. It's the quest to understand how and why I felt like a square peg in a round hole around places, people and with my emotions. I was becoming more turbulent. Thank you for this video. It has put to words everything I couldn't, can't or may not be able to explain logically to those who ask why I am living the way I do. - I get so frustrated when someone suggests a career path for me. - I have a daughter to support but in everything I do, I am not primarily driven by money. It's really secondary and many see that as weird when I tell them. - And for the last, wow!! I am less inspired to do anything that doesn't develop a life skill in me. I just CAN'T bring myself to doing it. If I did, it would literally feel like my life being choked out of me... Thank you for sharing this video. It's been liberating.
I am INFP- T too Ruth. It has really, really dragged my life down to the bottom so far, but I feel like I am on the cusp of breaking free and manifesting what I truly desire.
Welcome.... I find a great deal of overlap between between psychology and spirituality when it comes to creating results... as to career advice, I've has lots of on-the-job training to gain that experience. Welcome to the community.
Nice. MBTI is a wonderful starting point for our self-awareness. For me, developing my displayable psychic and healing skills helped my expand my personality insights to become more adaptable in my choices and options which in turn allow me to consciously choose my happiness.... My biggest insight is just how delusional certain parts of my personality were and how those delusions thwarted my awareness and happiness. :D
I'm in med school, always knew I wanted to be a doctor. I'm thinking about Nephrology. Now, I realize my personality isn't the best suited for medicine, but I don't care since it's the only dream I know I'm going to fulfill. Proud to be INFP, hope to meet many others in my journey.
Hi Laura, I am also on this pre-medical journey. I’ve wanted to become a doctor for as long as I can remember but I have struggled with school for so long, that I am now questioning myself. Being an INFP is difficult and I can’t see myself in any other career. It’s definitely a double edged sword & would love some words of wisdom from you!
@@one_dwigt111 Hi! All I can say is, embrace your creativity and don't be ashamed to think differently. Sometimes medicine can seem like a 'squared' field, with tons of protocols and guide lines. Anyone is able to follow them, but we're given one of the most creative and fertile minds. Trying to apply it into everyday life is the most fun part. I love my creative and unique approach to medicine, it's the most rewarding part in my opinion, seeing things other people struggle to see. I know studying is hard, and you can loose your focus very easily, I do too. I'm not the most efficient and productive person in the world, but I get my work done. It may take me twice the time than a normal person, but I don't mind sacrificing my free time for this. I like to go deep into things, trying to understand why they happen, making connections in my head. I would be much easier if I just read stuff and memorize it as they are, but no. I embrace my creativity and my curiosity. I know one day I'll be worth it. One of the biggest error is to be overwhelmed by schedules, exams and tests. It's ok to leave some behind. You don't have to follow the crowd. You create your own beautiful path!
Thank you for this comment. I'm a person who would like to pursue a career as a diplomat but I'm scared of the emotional turbulence it can cause. But I still want to give it a shot. Your words really helped
@@Clides-gg8ll You hit the nail on the head when you described the lack of focus when studying and being unable to follow a rigid schedule. That is me to the tee! Unfortunately, due to this quality, it has taken me 10 years to finish my undergrad degree and its going to take me an additional 2 years to do a post-bacc in order to repair my damaged GPA from the course I did so poorly in, due to this lack of focus and burnout. I hope sometimes that pursuing medicine won't leave me feeling full of regret or despair but my daydreaming and creative, free-spirited side usually always gets in the way.
There is a group of people who are the INFP personality type and also empaths (who tend to be overly empathetic in unhealthy ways). An empath often has a difficult time discerning between their "stuff" and the "stuff" of others which tends to leave them feeling paralyzed and stuck in life. Glad you stopped by and connected.
I was a music teacher for 4 years and that was incredibly fulfilling. I left to work as a software engineer because I felt I needed more money. That time turned out to be incredibly depressing because corporate culture is incongruent with who I am as a human being. Now that I know that money is not a motivator for me, I am going back to teaching and feel so much more at peace with myself. Can’t wait to get back on the right path.
I am an INFP and my career choice has been prison chaplaincy for over 25 years. I also work with the military as a Chaplain. My specialization and training is counseling and mass casualty disaster services. I am an Empath. I feel others feelings, usually within seconds. This helps in counseling. It is also tiring. I need a lot of alone time to recover, but love the work. It is extremely challenging and rewarding. It has helped me grow way beyond what I thought my capabilities were, including the ability to handle confrontation without freaking out on the inside. It is interesting that my personality also has some characteristics assigned to INFJ, such as the intimidating stare and predictive intuition. Sometimes I can see things happen before they happen. It's sort of like the sands of time on the Prince of Persia movie. Yes, I am a spiritual person, a Christian, and a pastor. It is my daily joy to study and learn and grow. My life is a journey. I believe God guided my path into my career choice. It is not easy. It is demanding and stressful. But it is rewarding. One day I will do something different - I am also very good with tools and mechanical things. So I think career choice is not always cut and dry. It is about passion, faith, hope, obedience to responsibility, and love for others.
It sounds like you have an incredible line of work, where you're able to help others heal and move forward in the face of trauma and loss of hope. How did you find yourself in that position and what kind of training did you receive that qualified you as a chaplain?
Thank you, it felt very real to encounter you. I can't sleep at night and I just feel lost... I wish you an income so that you can do what your souls calls you to do and bravey to do so and also wish this myself. I wrote the comment and deleted like 5 times because this just feels different from normal. I am not sure if I will be able to get through this complicated system but i will try to connect my heart to the not so mine soul more and try to open my palms for its message
@Nicolas, Thank you for connecting. I indeed seems complicated when we begin, but like with any other worthwhile activity, with practice it becomes more natural and effortless. In a few months of regular stillness meditation, conscious journaling, and observing the difference between your instincts and intuition, you will be surprised at how quiet your mind will become. Welcome, Terry
@@naturalmedicinewriting5208 - and your best is always good enough.... by consistently trying your best you begin to master what you're trying until eventually you wake up one morning and the fog of doubt, despair, and fear are gone and you realize you're happy. Take good care my friend and please know we are here for you.
Now this is on point. Job is supposed to be a personal thing indeed, not influenced by external temporary ones. And yeah, new skills are essential. When I chose to get into medical field, I didn't put any amount of thought. I were indecisive. So I just chose what was considered superior. But after entering the field, I got to know how harsh it is and not really superior for me or anything, unless I develop my objective way of thinking. It definitely needs me to improve a lot, or I'd simply perish in this path.
How far along in your training did you go? Are you still pursuing medicine as a career path? I am also on the same boat as you. It has taken me many years to finish my undergrad degree and I've always thought my lifes purpose is to help others by becoming a doctor. However, I now know that medicine isn't so cut and dry. It can be a hellish place for sensitive INFP types, just like myself. How have you been able to navigate this journey?
i have found out that i am an infp due to my own life experiences.ny life career also suck.i am an empath and i look forward to watching more about yiur videos.thank you because i felt positive about myself now after watching this video
I’m a 32 yo INFP-T male and just came across this video. Worked as a video editor in animation for many years. I’ve recently been learning a lot about entrepreneurship, but thinking about working in sales for a time to improve my social anxiety. Thanks for this video 😊 btw ENFJ-A is my perfect romantic match
I only found your channel today and I am so thankful for that! Working as Financial Manager, Management Accountant and related jobs because I'm good at it and it pays, BUT always experiencing great turmoil and anguish in these roles because I'm sensitive and any form of injustice (my perception of injustice) affects me deeply. I understand more now. Thank you!
Indeed my pleasure. I'm glad you found us.... In a past life this lifetime I was a mortgage broker and understand how the turmoil and anguish surrounding financial transactions (especially between couples). Except for the fat paydays, I don't miss it at all.
@@seeratsingh7335 If you find a company and management team who's values align with yours, it can be very satisfying. But in big corporates especially, INFPs tend to see, hear and understand too much and become disillusioned (in my experience).
Hey there fellow INFP Male here , 32 years old. I was always kind of an outsider and avoided big social gatherings because they drain me in an instant. I am interested in many creative hobbies like I producing music, writing poems, painting and photography. I started my spiritual journey in my twenties when I had the feeling that the reality that is in front of us cannot be everything there is. I got into the topic of old souls because that is how I sometimes feel, like I lived a million years and therefore can grow a skill very quickly. But the downside is, sometimes you do not see why you have to repeat the experience of life in a physical body again, when youre struggeling with a job and the world is draining your energy. My current solution that kind of works is that iam working 70% in a job that pays money and the rest of the time i can fulfill my wish to get into the state of bliss when you connect yourself to the greater consciousness via creativity and you can just witness the flow of ideas and emotions in whatever creative art you are doing. Of course struggeling is part of life, not getting out of bed especially in winter times, beeing depressed about the state of the world were in, but you all can transform those feelings by putting them into a painting by shouting them in a song, or by writing it up in a poem or whatever you are writing. Dont confuse the state of the world with your state of beeing. Use your talents and be proud of who you are, and look in the mirror and tell yourself I love you for beeing such a unique and creative person. I wish you all the best, the world needs people like us more than ever!
I'm in the process of chaging my career in my 30s, from software development to something else, perhaps an art career, like animation. I've been in the software development career for more than 8 years now and during the period, many times I felt the need to leave this career, and now I think the time has come. As for spiritual practices that you asked, I am learning Tai chi Chuan and I might also join a Yoga group.
I love it. When we follow our knowing in our career path, things start getting interesting. In my opinion, brining the rationale problem solving skills of software development into the arts is a good combination because you will have a way of making pragmatic decisions as to the business side of your art. I am the stoic medium due to my engineering education and programming experience which helps me apply scientific methodology to the development of our psychic and healing skills. Welcome and let us know how things go.
I am an INFP and an Empath. Took the Meyers-Briggs when working for a tier one automotive company in Human Resources. I have worked in many different fields and struggled with all of them. None were fulfilling or gave me a sense of purpose.
I just wanted to say how much I love, appreciate and respect my postman. It started as the pony express and of course they had excellent, highly dedicated, professional athletes, trudging through every kind of weather extreme, dangerous wildlife and hostile terrain.I love Kevin Costner's movie The Postman, which is post apocalyptic nightmare without communication, until the postman starts delivering mail. Xoxo
RESPECT indeed for the postal service employees. Especially these days. Unfortunately, the context of my experience wasn't one of respect or reverence. Glad you connected.
I really loved your views and can imagine what you have been through even though I haven't lived any of the moments. I see the pain while you were saying how people deemed you as a failure which was in stark contrast to what you believed in, and when the close dear ones reject you and undermine you, it feels like the world has ended right there. But having said that the video was insightful and gave me a bit of hope that all is not gone. I wish to see more videos from you. I see last you posted was some 10 months ago. Please keep making such insightful videos and enlighten fellow INFP'S here. Love from India.
Thank you for connecting and sharing your kind words. There is indeed a path for each of us to experience happiness and thrive, regardless the circumstances and chaos that surrounds. Our mission is to find that path, walk it with purpose, while remaining present. We are creating new videos for the new year.
Thank you so much for this video. As an INFP, I've made all the three wrong choices you've mentioned! *facepalms* But I was beating myself up over and over again destroying my self-esteem, now I realise I just didn't know enough. Thank you SO much once again! Now, I feel free and now I can pursue what I really want. Cheers!!
INFP and went the military route even though I wanted to become a worship lead or artist. Got out after 7 years and now deciding what to do next. Was thinking about real estate so I am glad I found your video. Blessings!
Yay. I'm glad you found it helpful. I found the training and skills development available in corporate jobs priceless, but the culture, games, and the heartless lack of compassion sucked the life out of me. Glad you stopped by and connected.
@@theStoicMedium totally agree with you! There are definitely great parts about corporate jobs but for this personality type it’s not a great long term fit!!
At 23 i found my spiritual home in the practice of yoga and meditation- ive been a stay at home mom for the past 6 years. Prior to that, i was a yoga instructor. More recently ive found a love for mathematics when i started self studying a year ago in preparation to return to college for computer science and i really cant get enough of it. All the connections in math is like a huge beautiful work of art from afar but as you move closer you can see an inricate web of connections that make up the bigger picture. I find it truly magnificent. I plan to go back to school when my youngest son starts school in September... But it has been whispered from the inside to major in Mathematics. Im scared for either one honestly. Inside i can feel i can do it. But im still fearing failure for it not an easy road.
Hi! I hope you are well! And thank for the valuable information!! As an INFP, I’m currently 51, and I first started on a spiritual journey back around 2014, my spiritual catalyst was something I never expected, but it happened, which has led to great growth and personal development on my part, and is priceless! Also, like yourself after my spiritual awareness, just about two years ago I became aware of my personality type. My eldest son sent me a link to the Myers Briggs test, he was extremely curious to see what my type was. That personality information helped solve the confusion inside me, answered many questions of why I was how I am, and drove me into delving into the information regarding my personality type which really opened my eyes as to why my personality seemed to me to be so complex. It’s really not so complex once you have this information, things become much more clear and you now understand yourself and your motives of why you hold such things at such high standards compared to other people (personal values). I suppose it’s never to late to start a new chapter and to learn about oneself, it really is an exciting moment once you make this discovery and connection. In terms of career, I’ve always been an entrepreneur, I started at a very young age of 18 in a field which was predominantly male. A roofing and construction company to be precise, I was the owner and office manager. This experience was priceless as you mentioned, there’s a takeaway of every experience if you are open enough to understanding the learning process. My major was in early education but although I got my bachelors in Education, I decided to stick to my business and not go the education route. In my field I learned, accounting skills, organizational skills, communication skills, how to set boundaries with persistent dominant men, and all sorts of information and skills that have helped me throughout my life. My passion though has always been refurbishing and restoration. I took a break off of my passion for many years but I am now ready to dive back into refurbishing and continue growing in that space. Thank you for this advice, I only wished I would have started on that journey years earlier. I think I may have not been ready during those “working” years of my life. As I watch your videos, I must say you are such a calm person I really like that, the energy you give out is very peaceful. Good luck to you and in your endeavors! Do you find yourself continuing to have light bulb moments or epiphanies and /or learning more things about yourself as time passes? As time passes on, do you find yourself more and more capable of holding space as to whatever presents itself in life, and also acceptance of where exactly you are currently at in this point in time? Sadly, I’ve learned this a bit late in my life, but I can now say it’s a beautiful feeling to be in a sacred space of peace! Thank you and have a wonderful day!
Hello again @Beatriz, Yes, I have BFOs (blinding flashes of the obvious) all the time. But as my awareness expands there are fewer times where I'm totally surprised because I have fewer and fewer messes to clean up after seeing what was hidden behind my veils of delusion. Thank you for noticing my calmness - I call this space "the eye of the storm." Its a space of quiet receptivity and thinking tranquility where I detach from any specific outcome other than what I intend accomplish in that moment. ... And sometimes I'm even successful 😉 As for allowing life to happen, yes. There are two reasons for this. 1) I'm better at staying present so I have fewer surprises and when I am surprised, I'm not shocked or disappointed. 2) I'm learning to release my standards and expectations that dictate how things "have to be." I am still highly critical of my lack of perfection and have a very hard time forgiving myself my transgressions. I still make promises based on my optimistic view of how things will be, so when that brown, smelly stuff hits the fan I have little wiggle room. I'm glad you've found us and connected and welcome to our community of like minds and kindred spirits seeking spiritual solutions to life's problems.
@@theStoicMedium I totally understand that “eye of the storm” space, you have a very unique way of explaining things, which gives everything a nice different spin! Leaving the past in the past and trying not to think of the future is a daily exercise I practice, as an INFP it’s hard because I’m always going back to a memory or a feeling previously felt to compare to on a similar situation, you are 💯 correct! The more I practice being in the present moment, the more that I enjoy and the more we release from expectations the less disappointment and disillusionment is felt. Thank you for your response, Have a wonderful evening.
I'm glad you found us and connected. If you don't mind me asking, what part of INFP Careers did you find most impactful for your career path and choices?
@@theStoicMedium i think I may be an INFJ 🤔 (not sure) however I have definitely had multiple great careers and what I’ve found out is that as much as I have a subconscious need to “save” people I also keep EXTREMELY exhausted and overwhelmed (also an empath and horrible at setting boundaries) with a mix with my impatience 🤦🏾♀️ So I started out as a Mental Health Counselor (rewarding but I was seriously became overwhelmed to the point of forming anxiety and getting physical I’ll just thinking about going to work. Then I became a police officer and was that for 8yrs and ended up having to quit for family reasons and now I’m a 911 dispatcher… and I have a serious love/hate relationship with this job …. And get this…. Currently taking real estate classes online… so when I heard that from your video I HOLLERED! 😂😂💀🤦🏾♀️ I’ve ALWAYS struggled with “organized religion” because I’ve always had the mentality of “you’re not going to force me to accept something that we both know DOESNT MAKE COMPLETE SENSE” … while I do believe in God/Universe/Spirit…what have you. I’ve just always felt like it’s way deeper and more mysterious than just the surface of “do what I say and not as I do” Christianity 🥴 (no offense to any Christians🤦🏾♀️)
@@Jowens2016 - Thank you for your service and caring so much for others that it sometimes hurts. We do seem to be kindred spirits and keep up the good works. As far as those who may take offense from your comments and are good at saying, but lack any discernible doing or demonstrating of their professed values and beliefs, I invite them to consider being offended as a wake up call. Thank you for connecting and sharing your experiences.
As an INFP, I spent years in school not realizing that I was working backwards and being part of a system that just pumps and dumps people into the same industries. I have wanted to become a doctor since I was 8 years old but now that I am 26 years of age, the idea of becoming a doctor is still strongly present because it is all that I know and the only career I could see myself doing. However, the amount of work it will take for me to get there makes me incredibly exhausted, nervous and doubtful about whether I should be pursuing this path to begin with, even though I have put so many years of effort and education into it. I am hoping to maybe start exploring different careers outside of medicine and education. Your video has helped me see things a little better. So that's a step. Thank you.
Like I tell my students … the years will pass whether you have a degree to show for them or not, so at least have something to show for the passage of time. Get crackin buddy! & how did you go from being called to bring a Doctor to considering exploring careers outside of medicine?? Are you looking to keep banging your head and giving up on your calling? Or do you think your calling as a Doctor is as a non-medical doctor? Dig into the WHY you feel called to be a Doctor & that may help point you in the right direction. If it was ingrained in you by someone else, it may not be your calling. Get quiet within & the answers will come to you.
@@ModernDayMuse4You I've found myself in a place where all I have done my entire life is be in school. I've been working since I was 13 years of age. I started college at 16 and I have been finishing my undergrad degree on and off ever since. I've recently realized that my ability to focus and not be daydreaming all day (one of my best/worst INFP qualities) has affected me to the point where it has taken me a decade to finish an undergraduate degree. I've always wanted to become a doctor through my own accord and will and not by anyone else's standards or expectations. I witnessed the demise of my young 6 year old cousin when I was 8 years old and that is what made me feel compelled to pursue medicine. At the end of this year, I'll be finished with my degree. However, I will need to work on fixing my college credits afterwards in order to apply for med school because I did so poorly during college due to my lack of focus and burnout. I've been questioning going to med school because I believe in helping others and I truly believe my purpose in life is to help heal others in some form or capacity. However, I also believe in energy work and Reiki healing, tarot, meditation, spiritual work, etc. It really isn't the norm for a doctor to have dual interests in both these arenas and I'm unsure how my spirituality is supposed to flourish and my life purpose is to be applied when I don't know how to proceed with these dual, conflicting interests and how this is supposed to help others.
This video is brilliant! These words really brought me to peace. And i aspire to become more whoke and flatened. Well i defenetly agree on the points which you mentioned- careers to avoid, i will remember that. Thank you and keep up the great work. Respect 😇
I am now doing a new job orientation. From my experience so far, do not just only reflect and research alone. Connect to job & learning information centers, join Info days from (journalist) schools, find people in similar situations, ask a newspaper company if you could spend one day in their office to see if that meets what you think a day in a life of such a profession, etc. Each step will provide you new insights about how to approach this change, how to finance it, etc. Over the time you will then also develop a solid feeling of yes that is the path for you and it fuels your motivation!
Hi Wyntyr, Thanks for connecting. About 30 years ago, one pf my spirit guides shared a message, "WORK is a four-letter word, but none-the-less can be made into what you want it to be." This has been a koan for me as I strive to shape my career into an expression of my expanding spiritual awareness and skills. Chat soon!
There is research out there that if you start out as an introvert you tend to move toward the extroverted side as you age, and vice versa . Meters Briggs is only one form of personality test. There are other facets to personality , behavior psychology , humanistic psychology , etc.
I took the Ball State University Myers- Briggs & career test and the result is INFP. Interesting, as taking this type of test in the past I was usually INTP, which kind of matches my engineering job. That work subject has always interested me, it's just that engineers in companies are treated like a tool/machine, which is VERY draining! Now I'm thinking of trying some writing, as an INFP. Although I attend a Christian church I feel a Unitarian church would be better for me. And your spiritual church may be an even better fit.
Been in healthcare for most of my life, love it to a point but now seeking ways to incorporate my INFP type which I had no idea I was until today but was on and off again with the spiritual journey my whole life.
No surprise you're in health care. The intuitive-feeling part of our personality makes the healing arts a good fit. How to you protect yourself and prevent yourself form holding onto the suffering of others? I'm glad we're walking alongside one another on our spiritual journey. Welcome.
Im an 28 years old immigrant infp living in Holland, have lived over 10 years here but im really struggling with finding a proper career, its making me depressed. I have studied design but not in the highest education, even doe its a regnozied as a diploma people still turn me down. I didnt have the financial means to get an bachelor degree. Even when I want to get oder jobs they look down on me because my dutch is not as good as them. Makes me feel really down. Because I dont want to be broke im considering studying software engineeing just for the money and get an bachelors degree so I better my life. But considering my personality im scared im not gonna go tru with it. My oder option is to study to be english teacher, since im very good in english, it would be easier for me. But would be more demanding time wise to work and study that. With SE while studying and work i’d have more time to and id be able to earn money. So now everyday I overthink this and makes me feel really down. Its horrible being in a foreign country where I cant express myself like I wished and therefore people always undermine me😢 but honestly what Id like to be is an artist since I love expressigg na myself but im just scare ill make a wrong decision
Just got fired from a job today 😂😂 I’m an INFP, Empath, Hyoka, Sensitive, Introvert and have found my passion but still need that full time job to exist in this material world 😂
An excellent opportunity to create an income more aligned with your passion and that take less of a toll on your peace of mind and wellbeing. Good luck and let me know what you select.
I've always thought that I was different from everyone else not because I'm not very good at explaining myself, but because I would rather sit down and read a good book (the Bible is my favourite) and keep away from people for weeks at a time!. Unfortunately my partner likes to go out and I can't wait to get back home. Sometimes I will sit down and be quiet for as age's then once the batteries are charged it's as if someone turned the lights on and I will talk at all the wrong moments. I also pick up on other people's emotions; it might take me awhile to realise that the other person whose snipping at me and I'm throwing insults back is difficult to get used to, infact I've been known to bite my arm to stop my self from exploding. It used to be worse at work, but when I left there it felt as though a pressure valve had been released. 2 week's ago I discovered that I was an INFP, so I'm now trying to find out as much as I can about myself.
I'm also a empathic, highliy sensitive INFP. Rightnow I'm a stay at home mom in Germany. My boyfriend supports it, we want to have 2 more children. We both just want to live a peacefull life where we can buy all the good food without having to look at the price. Since last year we stream on Twitch as VTuber (Streamer with an Anime Avatar). I created the Avatars and come up with new stuff to improove the stream. We like to keep everything real and care about the problems of our little community, everyone is welcome there, we also support freedom of speech since we hate censorship. Streaming is one of the best things I did so far, I love interacting with the people and I'm always happy when someone comes back, it just feels really good, I want to be able to make a living out of it one day. Sometimes I even sing because singing is one of my passion besides drawing. Soon we start to work on our own Webcomic together. I'm thankfull that I have the oportunity to do this. I'm also spiritual, I try to meditate more often, I do Kundalini Yoga and I'm currently reading a boock about new souls and old souls. I'm always currious on all kinds theories about the soul and where humans go after they died. I'm also interested in politics and trees. I have 4 cats. Last year I also started with tarot cards, they help me whenever I need guidence. My best friend is a ENFP so she came up with all the good witch stuff and green magic. I also believe in the law of attraction. I did read "the secret" it really helped me be less depressed. I feel my destiniy is to touch peoples hearts, I just feel the urge to touch peoples hearts. For the Webcomic we have the most important parts about the story in our heads, sometimes I listen to music that fit a scene der example some characters are going to die and then I think about these characters and how bitter sweet we are going to rip out the hearts of the reader XD. We just want the Readers to go through all kinds of emotions.
I just quit my job two months ago! Had enough of the toxicness and plus my body can't take it...etc my wife fully supports me doing so! Learned I'm a INFP...things are really making sense...but at 49 (yikes) I have lots of ideas and interests...but not sure just what to do now considering I need to honour who I am and use the gifts I have in my work (finally I hope). I can write well I'm told and I do part time music healing sessions with my wife. I live in a log house in Northern Canada...I'm thinking of running a practise out of house with various health/healing modalities...but I'm curious fellow INFPs...is work as a councillor trully a good match for our type? And your question "how did I find that I'm a INFP?"...year of neglect brother...seeing the hints in my twenties (massage therapy, yoga) but I pushed it off and thought to highly of others/"experts"...in relationships always put them first for years...plus I had little support around me and I had to take any job (mostly labour) to get by. I gotta get it right at this point and give myself a chance and give the world of myself in the proper way On top of all this I'm just over coming an addiction, something I had been doing to cope for many many years. I'm so done with it! So anyhow thinking of becoming a counselor and wondering if our personality type generally finds the work too much or too heavy as introverts but Im sure one can develop skills (which I do have already) and there are time limits to sessions right so...I'm big into outdoors so I can incorporate that in that sort of work too! Most people would die for what I have as potential here but I still don't know and I hesitate..some courses I see take years to complete...I see a course for life coaching that's much shorter but I don't like the term "coach" if I do it I rather refer to myself as a "life advisor" even though I feel like my life is a mess in this transition (but it's not) lol. I know there will be lots of opportunities to work in these sorts of fields...the world right now needs healers! Any thoughts regarding my question?...Thanks great video and excellent demeanor!
Thank you for stopping by and connecting and your kind words. I seems you're moving in the proper direction. Trusting and implementing what you know is so much easier when you have a loving, supportive partner. I agree there is much need for healing and healers. My only caution for INFP's, intuitive-feelers, and other sensitives is to remember that many who seek healing are not ready to be well making it imperative that we learn to "bless them and leave them" at the end of a healing session. As to your question, there's so much in your comment that I see several possible questions to be addressed and my intuition is not helping me narrow down what you're asking. Please ask your question and I will be happy to share my thoughts. Thanks for connecting Sean.
@@theStoicMedium Wow thanks for a great response and taking the time to do so! I really liked what you said about "bless them and leave them". To expand on that, so is it accurate to conclude that based on the fact that the INFP personality type tends to read others quite well (along with training and experience). Once a knowing and understanding of were the client needs to work through and move towards for healing the phrase "bless them and leave them" speaks to leaving our expectations out of the picture or rather doing our best according to our abilities would you think? At the end of the day we can't be pushy so leaving our expectations out of it eliminates any ego based out come of ours or removes a tendancy to worry, "I haven't done enough or if only I said such and such" as a INFP type could leans towards perhaps? Thoughts on any of those comments? Really my hesitation at fully embracing, seeing more clients and going "all in" in a more full time basis is that I recognize certain tendencies of mine to have only so much patience or a limited ability to handle so many people in a day. But it's possible to learn to create boundaries, to do lots of self care, rest properly, limit the number of clients in a day to leave space for processing, note taking etc.. In true INFP fashion I have a real need to hermit out for long periods but rarely happens so between clients and an extroverted wife I'm concerned I may hit burn out fast regardless of my passion to move further in this direction. I have questioned if work in therapy is trully a good move for INFPs , on the fence about. Maybe does boil down to self care and certain boundaries to be established when working in a therapy setting. So open to thoughts on that as well.
@@scourneene - In my experience, discovering there is such a thing as an INFP was so powerful for me and severed me well for a long time. Eventually, the peace I found relating to myself as an INFP created conflict with my inner knowing and the life-skills I was needing to learn. I had to learn to transcend the limits of my INFP-ness. I learned to be more flexible and adaptable is various situations that I encountered along my path. I had to play close attention to my tendency to use my introverted preferences as the excuse for not following my dreams and "felt right" and "rang true" for the next steps along my path. What all this means is that by learning to listen to and trust my inner knowing I was able to cause the results I needed to cause and do so in such a way that I managed my health and wellbeing with proper self-care and nurturing. Please let me know if this makes sense.
@@scourneene - The biggest area of focus is balancing our physical nature (personality and instincts to survive) with our intuitive knowing. When we find something that resonates with us physically (Meyers-Briggs, Empath. Highly-Sensitive) our minds tend to give the label meaning thus creating a shortcut to justify our feelings and impulses. As we expand our spiritual awareness through skills development, we see past labels into our true/authentic/Spirit selves to follow the intention for this incarnation. In other words, when considering our next steps, leaning into what feels right and rings true as a knowingness requires a willingness to transcend the labels used to define us. Happiness, Value, Fulfillment in any/all aspects of life (work, relationships, self-awareness) is a conscious choice deliberately and intentionally acted upon causing us to thrive. As the old saying goes, if it feels right do it and while doing it we learn what is required for self-care and nurturing. I can say this because defying our physical nature requires a leap of faith. Honoring our intuitive knowing creates competence-based confidence that illumines our way effortlessly. I hope this makes sense.
@@theStoicMedium This is quite remarkable and what I'm finding to be very true in my experience! Well explained! I've been experiencing a similar peace about myself and at the same time I'm feeling conflict just in that I'm feeling some anxiety mixed with excitement mixed with "what is the world even going to look like for me to work in" given the to es we are facing. Having said that I'm feeling like the timing of discovering (really rediscovery) this INFP type I am part of mixed with certain life situations are extremely aligned to the point of a "make it or break it" pinnacle. I am battling some self criticism thoughts at times not hardcore lime "ah you could of made yourself into this amazing artist" or "I should of stuck with the music more". However as my wife would say "stop shoulding on yourself" lol. Yes I feel I have transcend certain limits myself (mostly out of survival). Excellent response! I'll certainly reread to have your experience (simailar to mine) sink in. On your next reply...
That's never rung true for me... It seems to me it will take society quite some time to stop seeing power and money as the path to success. I am seeing fewer people stuck with the limitations handed to them by their parents and starting to make their own choices and way in life. But for those most vulnerable, the world is still a dangerous place to survive which limits constrains the possibility of a true utopia... at least for the next several generations. Just my opinion.
Are you related to Manly P. Hall? You kinda look like him from the photos I've seen. And you are on a similar path of sharing the knowledge rather than holding it , like the Freemasons. When I took the Meyers -Briggs test and got the results, it felt like a curse. So much so, that i don't even remember my results.
Glad to have found your channel. I found about the MBTI doing some assessment tests to see why kind of job you'd be good to me. But in the end, I got more curious about how it can kinda help to understand myself. I don't know if I am an empath or sensitive though. I was doing some spiritual work before Covid, but it somehow got a halt with the pandemic. And as coincidence, life threw me back harder into introspection and meditation.
Life has a way of doing that. Keep up the good work and trust what "feels right" with your gifts and abilities. The deeper you delve into meditation practice and your knowing will become crystal clear.
I have a question please! Am not sure I understood quite well the 3rd point For ex am a biologist, and I found an internship this year in management even tho I dont think I'll fit in the world of bureaucracy, but at the time same time I find it necessary for both money and am also telling myself that i might need management / planning skills if I wanted to open my own UA-cam channel maybe... so it could be serving me for the future, is that what you meant by your 3rd advice? Thank you!
It certainly feels that way. My best recommendation is to trust what you know and go all in. Keep your intention in mind and consider creating an exit strategy which you review from time to time to see if you've gained the skills and experiences that serve your intention. Good luck and let me know what you choose.
I sincerely think we are gonna experience some great failures at first. This is the price to pay into building motivation to do things a little bit more magically than others would. I thought I wasn't good at anything too but I was actually very good at lots of stuff at the same time and never purused them:) please believe in a little magic...not much tho
I really want to be in special forces one day but I question how I would fit in to such an overly masculine and immature culture considering I have always been an empath. I will also say being a soldier would also mean you'll be doing the dirty work for corrupt governments. Hoping one day there will be a a non corrupt police hostage rescue or army special forces that I could join. I would also have to develop many skills over the years to be able to operate in environments with men who are on the complete opposite end of being empathetic
@@stevenkraft8502 - Did you watch our Empath Test from a stoic/pragmatic perspective? ua-cam.com/video/tTJ6NLLM1Fc/v-deo.html This test helps you begin the process of sorting out the difference between personality (physical) based empathic sensitivities and reality-grounded intuitive based empathic abilities... LMK what you think.
What careers have you struggled most with as an INFP?
Pretty much everything. I just don't fit into the typical workplace. I'm 49 and still don't have a career...just a series of jobs.
@@jillainenewman1358 - I'm sorry to hear that but not surprised... 🤕
In my experience, it's the power of our survival instinct that overrides and vetoes our intuitive knowing so powerfully we never really get a firm grasp as to how trapped we become in life.
👉 For, I was able to use several avocations to help me find and develop the skills and confidence needed to break free from the unconscious traps that held me back.
Consider volunteering someplace that feels relevant and feeds your need for purpose...
Let me know what you decide and how it works out. ❤️
@@theStoicMedium This might sound weird, but would it be possible to speak with you or email you? I feel compelled to ask. Perhaps there's a reason the Universe led me to your channel this morning. 😊
@@jillainenewman1358 - I'm glad you did ask.
My email is Terry@Spirit360.org
We can also connect on FaceBook in our Spirit360 Fellowship Group.
The best way to connect with me in person is at one of our weekly Spirit360 Fellowship Services. We use zoom and there is time set aside so you can ask me anything. You can get your invite at Spirit360.org
The last option, which some people prefer, is to book a private session with me at tsHall.com
I've had problems with retail!!!! It's just so mundane. Was a photographer for a while, but the sales part was extricating for me. I'm currently on again, off again with being a vet tech. Thinking about going back to it but, just doing front desk? I always seem to butt heads with most veterinary Drs. I do it for the animals. They're better than people.
I cry everyday, every night because of how awful I am. I'm so sensitive. Confrontation, customer's complains are making me sad. I'm an INFP-T. I'm easy to get panicked. When I'm panicked, I can't think and words are just randomly come out from my mouth.
I have no skills. My passion is writing a novel. But, writing a novel won't give me a monthly salary at the moment. I just want to have a peaceful life and alone with my loved one. But, that's impossible since I live in this world where everything needs money. I just... I just want to stay at my home, writing a novel, and taking care of someone I love..
Hi Kezia,
Thank you for connecting and I think you're definitely not alone in your struggles. As I read you comment, I was reminded of Stephen King's book on writing and how he juggled writing with a day job and the struggles he endured learning the process of writing while navigating our physical world.
The best we can do is find the least distracting way of paying the bills while we learn our craft and make material our dreams.
Good luck with your novel.
I relate to this so much. The last Part time Job I tried to work in was in a Boba store. It was fun and I love the atmosphere...but I wasn't made for the smalltalk and I wasn't fast enough to learn the drinks. I'm also a stay at home mom and my boyfriend works. We want more kids, in Germany it is totally normal to stay at home with your Baby for at least 1 year. I want to make a living with Vtubing together with my boyfriend and soon we start our Webcomic together. My boyfriend also believes that I'm destined to work from home and earn money with my passions. Sure the growing prosses on Twitch is slow because I refuse to download Tik Tok because I want a real true community that I can help and listen to their problems. So far we have a little community and I love it, I appreciate everyone who opens up to me and comes back every now and then, interacting with these people of all ages is the most fullfilling thing I ever did in my life.
Kezia… I have many suggestions that may help you but first, have you considered doing a REIKI energy clearing session? Reading your comment I had a vision of all of these chaotic energies attached to you from a past life that need to be released.
Once you do that, implement meditation into every morning’s routine.
Yoga: Your body needs movement to align with your energy. If you’re not doing yoga you will feel anxiety. I don’t recommend hardcore cardio workouts for you until you feel RE-centered & those extra energies have been released.
For one hour everyday, put on some spa music and use that time to do a brain dump into your laptop for your book. Just dump whatever comes into your mind, not worrying about structure or order.
Let me know how those suggestions work!
& for the record… knock off the BS of saying you’re awful. It’s offensive that you speak that way to yourself so knock it off. You wouldn’t tell your best friend how awful they are, I’m sure. So If you’re not going to be your own best friend then you won’t attract your true soul mate into your life. When your brain starts to fill your head with those thoughts, say out loud “STOP! I am a child of the most high God of this Universe & he didn’t make any mistakes when he made me!” Those are the demonic spirits that have attached to you speaking those thoughts into existence & those are the ones that need to be released and commanded to return to their source. Go get some REIKI babygirl.❤
I'm also an INFP-T, and I really feel your pain - even if you'll never read this, maybe someone else will stumble across my comment by accident: I don't really know where to go, nor where to stay. We INFP-Ts are like torn souls, not quite fitting into this world as it is. The only way I've found to get by is to pretend I'm like them. Life gets instantly easier if I just act like I belong.
And then, there's the 'Me-Time'-when I'm alone in my safe space. Surrounded by people who might not fully get me, but who accept me just as I am.
Remember, it’s okay to feel out of place - our way of seeing the world is rare, but it’s also beautiful in its own way. We may not always fit perfectly, but maybe that’s because we're meant to create our own spaces, our own little worlds. Keep nurturing that gentle spirit of yours, and don’t give up on your dreams. The world might be a hard place, but there are corners in it made just for us, where we can be exactly who we are.
Avoid:
1. Anything others want you to be
2. Anything just for money
3. Anything that doesn’t develop a specific skill
Thank you for your great videos about Infps. I am also an infp. Searched for a long time for a video which integrates infp character type and spiritualism. Thank you and thank to universe!
I don't usually comment, but this morning, I woke up too early again, with lots of ideas floating around. I decided to give in and get up, making coffee and starting to write things down in my journal. I began to peruse UA-cam, just following my feelings. I watched a video by a content creator about her process. She was so real and transparent. I wrote down a couple of points, then, I thought I'd do another search for INFP job ideas and I found something new! This video.
I am currently just starting out on yet another medical leave. It's not surprising that my life keeps crashing down on me, since I never seem to make it out of survival. Every time, I start out with the intention of finding work that is suitable for me, but then reaching a point of desperation and having to go out and get the first job I can find to earn money.
I always go for the customer service/office administration and not so long ago cleaning (hey, I did get a car to drive).
But, after years of this, I do believe that I have developed skill in areas that do round me out more. I agree with you, I wanted to develop skill in the area of entrepreneurism, self-employment, running a business. I wanted to learn from people that already were doing that. I clashed with them every time! But I did develop skills.
I have gone through many periods of unemployment. I have done tons of self-assessments. I even saw a psychologist who gave me an IQ test! He suggested working alone :).
I know from testing, reading and life experience that I am an INFP. I am introverted but as I mentioned before, I have developed skill in extrovert areas. I also have noticed there is a performer in me who wants to be speaking in front of people with the right material, or possibly a comedian or sound healer. Again, I agree with you, when I believe in something that I have experienced, I love to promote it.
I know that I am a highly sensitive person and an empath. I have picked up thoughts, feelings and symptoms from other people. I experienced night terror once after hearing it described by someone. Not fun!
I have explored some healing arts and paid a lot of money to get training, but I never used these skills to build a business. I did a bit of Reiki on others, but that's about it.
Right now, I am learning about Zen Buddhism from Cheri Huber's books and through her websites. I started learning about recording and listening which seems like a highly effective practice. I am learning to switch my attention. This is the culmination of decades of mental practice though.
I practice Transcendental Meditation. Not very consistently. I am working through an online course about the asanas that the guru suggested we practice to support the meditation.
I sought out help from the local mental health office and will be receiving counselling and attending groups. The areas I want to work on are grief, trauma, stress management, the years of life with a loved one who struggled with drugs, anxiety. Mainly, I want the sense of being in a community or sangha.
I am also working on my creative projects and challenging myself to actually do it! Not just fantasize about it or make notes. I have a list of projects in a variety of mediums. One of these is videos that combine words with images for the benefit of others.
I know I am here to help. I would like to advertise for a volunteer to allow me to just intuitively help them with whatever comes up like sound healing or energy work or words or movements. I know that once I get into that heart space, the ideas flow.
I have had difficulty with jobs that required me to be seen by people! Yes, that is always there in the background. If there is a higher purpose that I feel passionate about I overcome this. But I forget that I need to take care of myself after having exposed myself to scrutiny.
The people I wanted to emulate usually were difficult to work with.
I find it difficult to work with micromanagers who are constantly watching me. I tend to create plans of action and I have difficulty with bosses who don't allow me to follow my vision and are constantly trying to manage me and interrupting my creative flow. Maybe they can't see how my actions are leading to the outcome they desire. I often take a few steps back to organize before proceeding. Or I take a slow time to gather in tons of information before I emerge with a system that is highly efficient. I get interrupted too early in that process.
Difficulty with communication due to fear and anxiety creates problems. Harsh environments filled with noise and vibrations are draining.
Selling a product I didn't feel passionate about and having to upsell people. I was let go and told that I was not hungry enough.
Jobs that were too physical for me. They put me in fight or flight. In one job, I wouldn't admit to needing down time. I ended up on medical leave with permanent physical damage.
Customer service which involved long hours exposed to people.
I could probably go on. I've had a long series of difficult jobs. I did go back to school a couple of times. That was also a lot more stressful than I thought it would be. My intentions for going back and my choice of program were also suspect.
I was amazed to find your video. It spoke to me directly. I did have a look at your website and may attend a service to check it out.
Thank you.
24 years old and i still feel lost. i do not like my job (finance) but I don't want to lose my source of income. I don't feel like i am good at anything tbh
Have you considered working on a cruise ship? It sounds like your brain requires more right brain balance than a left brain dominant career can offer. A cruise ship career could provide you with that balance
I ticked all three INFP, HSP and empath.
I pursued a degree in dentistry and it fell into no. 1 category that you mentioned. There was a constant conflict between wanting to help people and not resonating with my innate beliefs and abilities. It literally ate me up inside and I was on the verge of developing anxiety disorder.
Now I have stopped the practice. My mental health has improved significantly although I still cannot fully forgive myself from not being able to fulfill my family's expectations and becoming helpful for others. I'm still in a STEM career but I am much happier now that I can bring some of my INFP qualities to the table. Still working on how I could fully embody my full potential and as I know you know that energy healing has naturally attracted me. Thank you so much for sharing you insights.
what do you work as?
I'm sn INFP male as well 28 years old with multiple Unfinished degrees. Now I just work in a warehouse to stay a float but I believe I can still develop a skill on the side to break free from working a 9-5. However I don't know what to go into and I'm scared of failing over and over again. I found this video very helpful though
I would encourage you to apply for grants for your education, leave that job & finish your first choice degree first.
@@ModernDayMuse4You thank you for this advice
Had you abusive parents?
Are you the scapegoat of your family???
My head constantly hurts.
I have saggitarius sun

I wast want to be on my own. But I am not logical-> because I have pisces rising and my descendant is virgo. I hate my life. I just want a good job and leave me alone without headache and emotion and emotion and MAsTEr nr 11 -> only disadvantages.
Be you. They will adjust.
I'm an infp who is very aware of my awareness and difficulties with navigating this world. Through a series of finding and forgetting my spiritually and attempting to numb myself from the feeling of my own emotions that I believed was from the external world I came cross the intense inability to find an imaginative new perspective sub consciously, shifting my reality to realizing how much hurt my spirit was protecting me from. On behalf of pleasing someone else and putting my needs side like iv done many times before, only this time I did something different...I put all of my creative art supplies in a trunk and put them into storage. It took 3 years for me to be hit with the sudden shift realizing I was a depressed alcoholic with a lack of self awareness and low consciousness suppressed by alcohol. This inevitably led me up to spiritually and to the mbti community and it all made a fill circle moment that yes I now feel I needed to fully fee my eternal purpose. Bc of my resilience not bc of mbti. My generative drive to self discovery and my loyal commitment to my spirit
Hi
I am now 32 years old
As an INFP The biggest mistake I made in my life was working for money
I put pressure on myself and tried to convince myself that this was the right thing because everyone does this. In the end, I was diagnosed with depression and I continued to suffer from it and try to recover for the past 3 years.
Unimportant information: I do not believe in the existence of karma, energy, and these things, and I believe they are myths.
Gratefully
very true i agree on the last info and yes its a struggle as the search is endless and you kinda know that the workplace is not for you. have you ever tried eating a carnivore diet? it helped me a lot mentally
@@gijsbon8065 I completely hate the vegetarian diet, but I have no idea about the carnivore diet. Is it really beneficial?
Coming across your videos tonight we’re truly a blessing. I was sitting outside on my deck watching the sunset, enjoying the beauty. Watching the clouds pass by, and all the while talking to the higher power. I look over and in the clouds I see the words “just ask”. I’ve been going through a tough situation with deciding how I can find my souls purpose. I am an INFP, intuitive empath. Very spiritual, started this spiritual awakening back in April 2016. Needless to say I asked the universe for guidance this evening, I was led to your channel this evening. When I get the goosebumps, it’s a sign from spirit that I’m either hearing or speaking the genuine truth. I’ve literally have gotten goosebumps multiple times listening to your guidance. Thank you so very much !! Much love and light to you and yours!!
Yay! We're attracting the best and brightest into our community of like minds and kindred spirits. Welcome.
Thank you for the spiritual perspective that you added to the psychological personality test. I tested an INFP-T, so I guess I need the spiritual practice indeed. I am on my third career, this time hopefully more in alignment with my soul 's purpose. Am highly sensitive and empathetic.
I am 45 and made a career in large global logistics companies. Especially in the last years I became permanently stressed and very close to burnout. I pulled the plug now and resigned. Now took the time to reflect (I love to have time for this) and understand my true self. Found out I am an INFP and I was totally in wrong jobs. I have one big skill and that is deep level of emotional intelligence so I am now considering jobs where I can help people with psychological issues. As you correctly said in the video, spirituality is - next to freedom and harmony- a value I just discovered as being very important to me.
Thank you for this video !!
So do I but in the accounting field. I am just 26 years old now and I quit the audit field to the accountant field (still looking for a job now) but my mind tells me that I don't want to do both anymore, it's so boring and I don't like the environment of math and strict deadline, moreover people in this work field is so mean, btw I don't dare to leave this career path cuz it pays better than others. Actually, I feel interested in journalism and advertising creative for no reason but I don't know how to jump in those fields and my family told me that it paid not very well. Now, I think about it a lot about my future and still try to figure it out and hope someday, there will be an answer.
Holly shit found out I was Infp about a year ago. Realised I am an empath about 2 weeks ago. My life makes a lot more sense now. I was always puzzled why I avoided people and especially large groups.
Welcome @Paul - I'm glad you found us. Awareness is the first step toward power. I'm looking forward how seeing how you use progress now that you can make sense of some of your mental and emotional wiring.
We're here to help you consciously rewire your experiences when/if you're ready.
Again welcome and thank you for connecting.
I am an INFP-T, and took the MBTI test last year. It's the quest to understand how and why I felt like a square peg in a round hole around places, people and with my emotions. I was becoming more turbulent.
Thank you for this video. It has put to words everything I couldn't, can't or may not be able to explain logically to those who ask why I am living the way I do. - I get so frustrated when someone suggests a career path for me. - I have a daughter to support but in everything I do, I am not primarily driven by money. It's really secondary and many see that as weird when I tell them. - And for the last, wow!! I am less inspired to do anything that doesn't develop a life skill in me. I just CAN'T bring myself to doing it. If I did, it would literally feel like my life being choked out of me...
Thank you for sharing this video. It's been liberating.
I am INFP- T too Ruth. It has really, really dragged my life down to the bottom so far, but I feel like I am on the cusp of breaking free and manifesting what I truly desire.
Love you way you've combined psychology, spirituality & practical careers advice in this video. Subbed
Welcome.... I find a great deal of overlap between between psychology and spirituality when it comes to creating results... as to career advice, I've has lots of on-the-job training to gain that experience.
Welcome to the community.
I'm an INFP-T, HSP, and empath. I took the MBTI the first time about 20 years ago. The descriptions of my type are at least 90% accurate to me.
Nice. MBTI is a wonderful starting point for our self-awareness. For me, developing my displayable psychic and healing skills helped my expand my personality insights to become more adaptable in my choices and options which in turn allow me to consciously choose my happiness....
My biggest insight is just how delusional certain parts of my personality were and how those delusions thwarted my awareness and happiness. :D
I just found out I'm an INFP and this video is so spot on for me, thank you so much!
I'm in med school, always knew I wanted to be a doctor. I'm thinking about Nephrology. Now, I realize my personality isn't the best suited for medicine, but I don't care since it's the only dream I know I'm going to fulfill. Proud to be INFP, hope to meet many others in my journey.
Hi Laura, I am also on this pre-medical journey. I’ve wanted to become a doctor for as long as I can remember but I have struggled with school for so long, that I am now questioning myself. Being an INFP is difficult and I can’t see myself in any other career. It’s definitely a double edged sword & would love some words of wisdom from you!
@@one_dwigt111 Hi! All I can say is, embrace your creativity and don't be ashamed to think differently. Sometimes medicine can seem like a 'squared' field, with tons of protocols and guide lines. Anyone is able to follow them, but we're given one of the most creative and fertile minds. Trying to apply it into everyday life is the most fun part. I love my creative and unique approach to medicine, it's the most rewarding part in my opinion, seeing things other people struggle to see. I know studying is hard, and you can loose your focus very easily, I do too. I'm not the most efficient and productive person in the world, but I get my work done. It may take me twice the time than a normal person, but I don't mind sacrificing my free time for this. I like to go deep into things, trying to understand why they happen, making connections in my head. I would be much easier if I just read stuff and memorize it as they are, but no. I embrace my creativity and my curiosity. I know one day I'll be worth it. One of the biggest error is to be overwhelmed by schedules, exams and tests. It's ok to leave some behind. You don't have to follow the crowd. You create your own beautiful path!
Thank you for this comment. I'm a person who would like to pursue a career as a diplomat but I'm scared of the emotional turbulence it can cause. But I still want to give it a shot. Your words really helped
@@Clides-gg8ll You hit the nail on the head when you described the lack of focus when studying and being unable to follow a rigid schedule. That is me to the tee! Unfortunately, due to this quality, it has taken me 10 years to finish my undergrad degree and its going to take me an additional 2 years to do a post-bacc in order to repair my damaged GPA from the course I did so poorly in, due to this lack of focus and burnout. I hope sometimes that pursuing medicine won't leave me feeling full of regret or despair but my daydreaming and creative, free-spirited side usually always gets in the way.
Never heard of INFP empathy training. This is interesting and a fantastictopic
There is a group of people who are the INFP personality type and also empaths (who tend to be overly empathetic in unhealthy ways).
An empath often has a difficult time discerning between their "stuff" and the "stuff" of others which tends to leave them feeling paralyzed and stuck in life.
Glad you stopped by and connected.
I was a music teacher for 4 years and that was incredibly fulfilling. I left to work as a software engineer because I felt I needed more money. That time turned out to be incredibly depressing because corporate culture is incongruent with who I am as a human being. Now that I know that money is not a motivator for me, I am going back to teaching and feel so much more at peace with myself. Can’t wait to get back on the right path.
I am an INFP and my career choice has been prison chaplaincy for over 25 years. I also work with the military as a Chaplain. My specialization and training is counseling and mass casualty disaster services. I am an Empath. I feel others feelings, usually within seconds. This helps in counseling. It is also tiring. I need a lot of alone time to recover, but love the work. It is extremely challenging and rewarding. It has helped me grow way beyond what I thought my capabilities were, including the ability to handle confrontation without freaking out on the inside. It is interesting that my personality also has some characteristics assigned to INFJ, such as the intimidating stare and predictive intuition. Sometimes I can see things happen before they happen. It's sort of like the sands of time on the Prince of Persia movie. Yes, I am a spiritual person, a Christian, and a pastor. It is my daily joy to study and learn and grow. My life is a journey. I believe God guided my path into my career choice. It is not easy. It is demanding and stressful. But it is rewarding. One day I will do something different - I am also very good with tools and mechanical things. So I think career choice is not always cut and dry. It is about passion, faith, hope, obedience to responsibility, and love for others.
It sounds like you have an incredible line of work, where you're able to help others heal and move forward in the face of trauma and loss of hope. How did you find yourself in that position and what kind of training did you receive that qualified you as a chaplain?
I can really relate to the doing something someone else tells me to do! Totally not for me! Great video!
Yeah especially for life direction choices.... I make the exception for things like taking out the trash and starting a UA-cam channel. ;-)
Thank you, it felt very real to encounter you. I can't sleep at night and I just feel lost... I wish you an income so that you can do what your souls calls you to do and bravey to do so and also wish this myself. I wrote the comment and deleted like 5 times because this just feels different from normal. I am not sure if I will be able to get through this complicated system but i will try to connect my heart to the not so mine soul more and try to open my palms for its message
@Nicolas, Thank you for connecting. I indeed seems complicated when we begin, but like with any other worthwhile activity, with practice it becomes more natural and effortless.
In a few months of regular stillness meditation, conscious journaling, and observing the difference between your instincts and intuition, you will be surprised at how quiet your mind will become.
Welcome, Terry
@@theStoicMedium thank you! I will try to do my best!
@@naturalmedicinewriting5208 - and your best is always good enough.... by consistently trying your best you begin to master what you're trying until eventually you wake up one morning and the fog of doubt, despair, and fear are gone and you realize you're happy.
Take good care my friend and please know we are here for you.
Now this is on point. Job is supposed to be a personal thing indeed, not influenced by external temporary ones. And yeah, new skills are essential. When I chose to get into medical field, I didn't put any amount of thought. I were indecisive. So I just chose what was considered superior. But after entering the field, I got to know how harsh it is and not really superior for me or anything, unless I develop my objective way of thinking. It definitely needs me to improve a lot, or I'd simply perish in this path.
How far along in your training did you go? Are you still pursuing medicine as a career path? I am also on the same boat as you. It has taken me many years to finish my undergrad degree and I've always thought my lifes purpose is to help others by becoming a doctor. However, I now know that medicine isn't so cut and dry. It can be a hellish place for sensitive INFP types, just like myself. How have you been able to navigate this journey?
i have found out that i am an infp due to my own life experiences.ny life career also suck.i am an empath and i look forward to watching more about yiur videos.thank you because i felt positive about myself now after watching this video
I’m a 32 yo INFP-T male and just came across this video. Worked as a video editor in animation for many years. I’ve recently been learning a lot about entrepreneurship, but thinking about working in sales for a time to improve my social anxiety. Thanks for this video 😊 btw ENFJ-A is my perfect romantic match
I only found your channel today and I am so thankful for that! Working as Financial Manager, Management Accountant and related jobs because I'm good at it and it pays, BUT always experiencing great turmoil and anguish in these roles because I'm sensitive and any form of injustice (my perception of injustice) affects me deeply. I understand more now. Thank you!
Indeed my pleasure. I'm glad you found us.... In a past life this lifetime I was a mortgage broker and understand how the turmoil and anguish surrounding financial transactions (especially between couples). Except for the fat paydays, I don't miss it at all.
Hey..im studying for the same..and having doubts if it would be a good option for me or not. Would it be soul satisfying or no..
@@seeratsingh7335 If you find a company and management team who's values align with yours, it can be very satisfying. But in big corporates especially, INFPs tend to see, hear and understand too much and become disillusioned (in my experience).
I love your advice. I'm confident that there would be a lot of people who would want to hear your content. Great video!
Thanks and glad you stopped by and connected.
Hey there fellow INFP Male here , 32 years old. I was always kind of an outsider and avoided big social gatherings because they drain me in an instant. I am interested in many creative hobbies like I producing music, writing poems, painting and photography. I started my spiritual journey in my twenties when I had the feeling that the reality that is in front of us cannot be everything there is. I got into the topic of old souls because that is how I sometimes feel, like I lived a million years and therefore can grow a skill very quickly. But the downside is, sometimes you do not see why you have to repeat the experience of life in a physical body again, when youre struggeling with a job and the world is draining your energy. My current solution that kind of works is that iam working 70% in a job that pays money and the rest of the time i can fulfill my wish to get into the state of bliss when you connect yourself to the greater consciousness via creativity and you can just witness the flow of ideas and emotions in whatever creative art you are doing. Of course struggeling is part of life, not getting out of bed especially in winter times, beeing depressed about the state of the world were in, but you all can transform those feelings by putting them into a painting by shouting them in a song, or by writing it up in a poem or whatever you are writing. Dont confuse the state of the world with your state of beeing. Use your talents and be proud of who you are, and look in the mirror and tell yourself I love you for beeing such a unique and creative person. I wish you all the best, the world needs people like us more than ever!
I'm in the process of chaging my career in my 30s, from software development to something else, perhaps an art career, like animation. I've been in the software development career for more than 8 years now and during the period, many times I felt the need to leave this career, and now I think the time has come.
As for spiritual practices that you asked, I am learning Tai chi Chuan and I might also join a Yoga group.
I love it. When we follow our knowing in our career path, things start getting interesting.
In my opinion, brining the rationale problem solving skills of software development into the arts is a good combination because you will have a way of making pragmatic decisions as to the business side of your art.
I am the stoic medium due to my engineering education and programming experience which helps me apply scientific methodology to the development of our psychic and healing skills.
Welcome and let us know how things go.
I am an INFP and thinking about going into the tech field.
I am an INFP and an Empath. Took the Meyers-Briggs when working for a tier one automotive company in Human Resources. I have worked in many different fields and struggled with all of them. None were fulfilling or gave me a sense of purpose.
Have you find something purposeful today ? I was interested in management/human resources, but don't know if it's a good choice tbh
Thank you so much...I do need this today.❤
I just wanted to say how much I love, appreciate and respect my postman. It started as the pony express and of course they had excellent, highly dedicated, professional athletes, trudging through every kind of weather extreme, dangerous wildlife and hostile terrain.I love Kevin Costner's movie The Postman, which is post apocalyptic nightmare without communication, until the postman starts delivering mail. Xoxo
RESPECT indeed for the postal service employees. Especially these days.
Unfortunately, the context of my experience wasn't one of respect or reverence.
Glad you connected.
Hell, yeah! I love that movie too! And that's about cooperation.
I really loved your views and can imagine what you have been through even though I haven't lived any of the moments. I see the pain while you were saying how people deemed you as a failure which was in stark contrast to what you believed in, and when the close dear ones reject you and undermine you, it feels like the world has ended right there. But having said that the video was insightful and gave me a bit of hope that all is not gone.
I wish to see more videos from you. I see last you posted was some 10 months ago. Please keep making such insightful videos and enlighten fellow INFP'S here. Love from India.
Thank you for connecting and sharing your kind words.
There is indeed a path for each of us to experience happiness and thrive, regardless the circumstances and chaos that surrounds. Our mission is to find that path, walk it with purpose, while remaining present.
We are creating new videos for the new year.
Right on. Thank God I'm not alone. Thank u!
Thank you so much for this video. As an INFP, I've made all the three wrong choices you've mentioned! *facepalms* But I was beating myself up over and over again destroying my self-esteem, now I realise I just didn't know enough. Thank you SO much once again! Now, I feel free and now I can pursue what I really want. Cheers!!
INFP and went the military route even though I wanted to become a worship lead or artist. Got out after 7 years and now deciding what to do next. Was thinking about real estate so I am glad I found your video. Blessings!
same for me now. What did you choose?
Great advice! I struggled with corporate jobs as this personality type. Love these ideas :)
Yay. I'm glad you found it helpful. I found the training and skills development available in corporate jobs priceless, but the culture, games, and the heartless lack of compassion sucked the life out of me.
Glad you stopped by and connected.
@@theStoicMedium totally agree with you! There are definitely great parts about corporate jobs but for this personality type it’s not a great long term fit!!

At 23 i found my spiritual home in the practice of yoga and meditation- ive been a stay at home mom for the past 6 years. Prior to that, i was a yoga instructor. More recently ive found a love for mathematics when i started self studying a year ago in preparation to return to college for computer science and i really cant get enough of it. All the connections in math is like a huge beautiful work of art from afar but as you move closer you can see an inricate web of connections that make up the bigger picture. I find it truly magnificent. I plan to go back to school when my youngest son starts school in September... But it has been whispered from the inside to major in Mathematics. Im scared for either one honestly. Inside i can feel i can do it. But im still fearing failure for it not an easy road.
INFP here, that's just finding my own emotions and it's bitter sweet!
Hi! I hope you are well! And thank for the valuable information!!
As an INFP, I’m currently 51, and I first started on a spiritual journey back around 2014, my spiritual catalyst was something I never expected, but it happened, which has led to great growth and personal development on my part, and is priceless! Also, like yourself after my spiritual awareness, just about two years ago I became aware of my personality type. My eldest son sent me a link to the Myers Briggs test, he was extremely curious to see what my type was. That personality information helped solve the confusion inside me, answered many questions of why I was how I am, and drove me into delving into the information regarding my personality type which really opened my eyes as to why my personality seemed to me to be so complex. It’s really not so complex once you have this information, things become much more clear and you now understand yourself and your motives of why you hold such things at such high standards compared to other people (personal values).
I suppose it’s never to late to start a new chapter and to learn about oneself, it really is an exciting moment once you make this discovery and connection. In terms of career, I’ve always been an entrepreneur, I started at a very young age of 18 in a field which was predominantly male. A roofing and construction company to be precise, I was the owner and office manager. This experience was priceless as you mentioned, there’s a takeaway of every experience if you are open enough to understanding the learning process. My major was in early education but although I got my bachelors in Education, I decided to stick to my business and not go the education route. In my field I learned, accounting skills, organizational skills, communication skills, how to set boundaries with persistent dominant men, and all sorts of information and skills that have helped me throughout my life.
My passion though has always been refurbishing and restoration. I took a break off of my passion for many years but I am now ready to dive back into refurbishing and continue growing in that space.
Thank you for this advice, I only wished I would have started on that journey years earlier. I think I may have not been ready during those “working” years of my life.
As I watch your videos, I must say you are such a calm person I really like that, the energy you give out is very peaceful.
Good luck to you and in your endeavors!
Do you find yourself continuing to have light bulb moments or epiphanies and /or learning more things about yourself as time passes?
As time passes on, do you find yourself more and more capable of holding space as to whatever presents itself in life, and also acceptance of where exactly you are currently at in this point in time? Sadly, I’ve learned this a bit late in my life, but I can now say it’s a beautiful feeling to be in a sacred space of peace!
Thank you and have a wonderful day!
Hello again @Beatriz,
Yes, I have BFOs (blinding flashes of the obvious) all the time. But as my awareness expands there are fewer times where I'm totally surprised because I have fewer and fewer messes to clean up after seeing what was hidden behind my veils of delusion.
Thank you for noticing my calmness - I call this space "the eye of the storm." Its a space of quiet receptivity and thinking tranquility where I detach from any specific outcome other than what I intend accomplish in that moment.
... And sometimes I'm even successful 😉
As for allowing life to happen, yes. There are two reasons for this.
1) I'm better at staying present so I have fewer surprises and when I am surprised, I'm not shocked or disappointed.
2) I'm learning to release my standards and expectations that dictate how things "have to be."
I am still highly critical of my lack of perfection and have a very hard time forgiving myself my transgressions. I still make promises based on my optimistic view of how things will be, so when that brown, smelly stuff hits the fan I have little wiggle room.
I'm glad you've found us and connected and welcome to our community of like minds and kindred spirits seeking spiritual solutions to life's problems.
@@theStoicMedium
I totally understand that “eye of the storm” space, you have a very unique way of explaining things, which gives everything a nice different spin!
Leaving the past in the past and trying not to think of the future is a daily exercise I practice, as an INFP it’s hard because I’m always going back to a memory or a feeling previously felt to compare to on a similar situation, you are 💯 correct! The more I practice being in the present moment, the more that I enjoy and the more we release from expectations the less disappointment and disillusionment is felt.
Thank you for your response,
Have a wonderful evening.
@@Beatriz-Ana-11 - ditto. chat soon.
Your trainings are the absolute best! I always get so, so much out of them! Thanks for all that you do! :)

I don’t know where you been at all my life. But I think you just saved it 😫🙌🏾🙏🏾 thank you
I'm glad you found us and connected.
If you don't mind me asking, what part of INFP Careers did you find most impactful for your career path and choices?
@@theStoicMedium i think I may be an INFJ 🤔 (not sure) however I have definitely had multiple great careers and what I’ve found out is that as much as I have a subconscious need to “save” people I also keep EXTREMELY exhausted and overwhelmed (also an empath and horrible at setting boundaries) with a mix with my impatience 🤦🏾♀️
So I started out as a Mental Health Counselor (rewarding but I was seriously became overwhelmed to the point of forming anxiety and getting physical I’ll just thinking about going to work.
Then I became a police officer and was that for 8yrs and ended up having to quit for family reasons and now I’m a 911 dispatcher… and I have a serious love/hate relationship with this job …. And get this…. Currently taking real estate classes online… so when I heard that from your video I HOLLERED! 😂😂💀🤦🏾♀️
I’ve ALWAYS struggled with “organized religion” because I’ve always had the mentality of “you’re not going to force me to accept something that we both know DOESNT MAKE COMPLETE SENSE” … while I do believe in God/Universe/Spirit…what have you. I’ve just always felt like it’s way deeper and more mysterious than just the surface of “do what I say and not as I do” Christianity 🥴 (no offense to any Christians🤦🏾♀️)
@@Jowens2016 - Thank you for your service and caring so much for others that it sometimes hurts.
We do seem to be kindred spirits and keep up the good works.
As far as those who may take offense from your comments and are good at saying, but lack any discernible doing or demonstrating of their professed values and beliefs, I invite them to consider being offended as a wake up call.
Thank you for connecting and sharing your experiences.
As an INFP, I spent years in school not realizing that I was working backwards and being part of a system that just pumps and dumps people into the same industries. I have wanted to become a doctor since I was 8 years old but now that I am 26 years of age, the idea of becoming a doctor is still strongly present because it is all that I know and the only career I could see myself doing. However, the amount of work it will take for me to get there makes me incredibly exhausted, nervous and doubtful about whether I should be pursuing this path to begin with, even though I have put so many years of effort and education into it. I am hoping to maybe start exploring different careers outside of medicine and education. Your video has helped me see things a little better. So that's a step. Thank you.
Like I tell my students … the years will pass whether you have a degree to show for them or not, so at least have something to show for the passage of time. Get crackin buddy!
& how did you go from being called to bring a Doctor to considering exploring careers outside of medicine?? Are you looking to keep banging your head and giving up on your calling? Or do you think your calling as a Doctor is as a non-medical doctor? Dig into the WHY you feel called to be a Doctor & that may help point you in the right direction. If it was ingrained in you by someone else, it may not be your calling. Get quiet within & the answers will come to you.
@@ModernDayMuse4You I've found myself in a place where all I have done my entire life is be in school. I've been working since I was 13 years of age. I started college at 16 and I have been finishing my undergrad degree on and off ever since. I've recently realized that my ability to focus and not be daydreaming all day (one of my best/worst INFP qualities) has affected me to the point where it has taken me a decade to finish an undergraduate degree. I've always wanted to become a doctor through my own accord and will and not by anyone else's standards or expectations. I witnessed the demise of my young 6 year old cousin when I was 8 years old and that is what made me feel compelled to pursue medicine. At the end of this year, I'll be finished with my degree. However, I will need to work on fixing my college credits afterwards in order to apply for med school because I did so poorly during college due to my lack of focus and burnout. I've been questioning going to med school because I believe in helping others and I truly believe my purpose in life is to help heal others in some form or capacity. However, I also believe in energy work and Reiki healing, tarot, meditation, spiritual work, etc. It really isn't the norm for a doctor to have dual interests in both these arenas and I'm unsure how my spirituality is supposed to flourish and my life purpose is to be applied when I don't know how to proceed with these dual, conflicting interests and how this is supposed to help others.
Just discovered your channel. I really liked these advice as an INFP male. Thanks. Subbed
As an ENFP, we have the same cognitive functions so there are some similarities between us. Helpful advice even though we are different!

This video is brilliant! These words really brought me to peace. And i aspire to become more whoke and flatened. Well i defenetly agree on the points which you mentioned- careers to avoid, i will remember that. Thank you and keep up the great work. Respect 😇
Thank you. Enjoy thing journey and let us know what you choose.
I am now doing a new job orientation. From my experience so far, do not just only reflect and research alone. Connect to job & learning information centers, join Info days from (journalist) schools, find people in similar situations, ask a newspaper company if you could spend one day in their office to see if that meets what you think a day in a life of such a profession, etc. Each step will provide you new insights about how to approach this change, how to finance it, etc. Over the time you will then also develop a solid feeling of yes that is the path for you and it fuels your motivation!
Very informative. I struggle greatly on my career path.
Hi Wyntyr, Thanks for connecting.
About 30 years ago, one pf my spirit guides shared a message, "WORK is a four-letter word, but none-the-less can be made into what you want it to be."
This has been a koan for me as I strive to shape my career into an expression of my expanding spiritual awareness and skills.

There is research out there that if you start out as an introvert you tend to move toward the extroverted side as you age, and vice versa . Meters Briggs is only one form of personality test. There are other facets to personality , behavior psychology , humanistic psychology , etc.
I took the Ball State University Myers- Briggs & career test and the result is INFP. Interesting, as taking this type of test in the past I was usually INTP, which kind of matches my engineering job. That work subject has always interested me, it's just that engineers in companies are treated like a tool/machine, which is VERY draining!
Now I'm thinking of trying some writing, as an INFP. Although I attend a Christian church I feel a Unitarian church would be better for me. And your spiritual church may be an even better fit.
thank you sir
Been in healthcare for most of my life, love it to a point but now seeking ways to incorporate my INFP type which I had no idea I was until today but was on and off again with the spiritual journey my whole life.
No surprise you're in health care. The intuitive-feeling part of our personality makes the healing arts a good fit.
How to you protect yourself and prevent yourself form holding onto the suffering of others?

Im an 28 years old immigrant infp living in Holland, have lived over 10 years here but im really struggling with finding a proper career, its making me depressed. I have studied design but not in the highest education, even doe its a regnozied as a diploma people still turn me down. I didnt have the financial means to get an bachelor degree. Even when I want to get oder jobs they look down on me because my dutch is not as good as them. Makes me feel really down. Because I dont want to be broke im considering studying software engineeing just for the money and get an bachelors degree so I better my life. But considering my personality im scared im not gonna go tru with it. My oder option is to study to be english teacher, since im very good in english, it would be easier for me. But would be more demanding time wise to work and study that. With SE while studying and work i’d have more time to and id be able to earn money. So now everyday I overthink this and makes me feel really down. Its horrible being in a foreign country where I cant express myself like I wished and therefore people always undermine me😢 but honestly what Id like to be is an artist since I love expressigg na myself but im just scare ill make a wrong decision
Just got fired from a job today 😂😂 I’m an INFP, Empath, Hyoka, Sensitive, Introvert and have found my passion but still need that full time job to exist in this material world 😂
An excellent opportunity to create an income more aligned with your passion and that take less of a toll on your peace of mind and wellbeing. Good luck and let me know what you select.

I've always thought that I was different from everyone else not because I'm not very good at explaining myself, but because I would rather sit down and read a good book (the Bible is my favourite) and keep away from people for weeks at a time!. Unfortunately my partner likes to go out and I can't wait to get back home. Sometimes I will sit down and be quiet for as age's then once the batteries are charged it's as if someone turned the lights on and I will talk at all the wrong moments. I also pick up on other people's emotions; it might take me awhile to realise that the other person whose snipping at me and I'm throwing insults back is difficult to get used to, infact I've been known to bite my arm to stop my self from exploding. It used to be worse at work, but when I left there it felt as though a pressure valve had been released.
2 week's ago I discovered that I was an INFP, so I'm now trying to find out as much as I can about myself.
I'm also a empathic, highliy sensitive INFP. Rightnow I'm a stay at home mom in Germany. My boyfriend supports it, we want to have 2 more children. We both just want to live a peacefull life where we can buy all the good food without having to look at the price. Since last year we stream on Twitch as VTuber (Streamer with an Anime Avatar). I created the Avatars and come up with new stuff to improove the stream. We like to keep everything real and care about the problems of our little community, everyone is welcome there, we also support freedom of speech since we hate censorship. Streaming is one of the best things I did so far, I love interacting with the people and I'm always happy when someone comes back, it just feels really good, I want to be able to make a living out of it one day. Sometimes I even sing because singing is one of my passion besides drawing. Soon we start to work on our own Webcomic together. I'm thankfull that I have the oportunity to do this. I'm also spiritual, I try to meditate more often, I do Kundalini Yoga and I'm currently reading a boock about new souls and old souls. I'm always currious on all kinds theories about the soul and where humans go after they died. I'm also interested in politics and trees. I have 4 cats. Last year I also started with tarot cards, they help me whenever I need guidence. My best friend is a ENFP so she came up with all the good witch stuff and green magic. I also believe in the law of attraction. I did read "the secret" it really helped me be less depressed. I feel my destiniy is to touch peoples hearts, I just feel the urge to touch peoples hearts. For the Webcomic we have the most important parts about the story in our heads, sometimes I listen to music that fit a scene der example some characters are going to die and then I think about these characters and how bitter sweet we are going to rip out the hearts of the reader XD. We just want the Readers to go through all kinds of emotions.
my mum: you really should be a nurse! i know, what's good for you!
my entire inner self: *scream* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I just quit my job two months ago! Had enough of the toxicness and plus my body can't take it...etc my wife fully supports me doing so! Learned I'm a INFP...things are really making sense...but at 49 (yikes) I have lots of ideas and interests...but not sure just what to do now considering I need to honour who I am and use the gifts I have in my work (finally I hope). I can write well I'm told and I do part time music healing sessions with my wife. I live in a log house in Northern Canada...I'm thinking of running a practise out of house with various health/healing modalities...but I'm curious fellow INFPs...is work as a councillor trully a good match for our type? And your question "how did I find that I'm a INFP?"...year of neglect brother...seeing the hints in my twenties (massage therapy, yoga) but I pushed it off and thought to highly of others/"experts"...in relationships always put them first for years...plus I had little support around me and I had to take any job (mostly labour) to get by. I gotta get it right at this point and give myself a chance and give the world of myself in the proper way
On top of all this I'm just over coming an addiction, something I had been doing to cope for many many years. I'm so done with it! So anyhow thinking of becoming a counselor and wondering if our personality type generally finds the work too much or too heavy as introverts but Im sure one can develop skills (which I do have already) and there are time limits to sessions right so...I'm big into outdoors so I can incorporate that in that sort of work too! Most people would die for what I have as potential here but I still don't know and I hesitate..some courses I see take years to complete...I see a course for life coaching that's much shorter but I don't like the term "coach" if I do it I rather refer to myself as a "life advisor" even though I feel like my life is a mess in this transition (but it's not) lol. I know there will be lots of opportunities to work in these sorts of fields...the world right now needs healers! Any thoughts regarding my question?...Thanks great video and excellent demeanor!
Thank you for stopping by and connecting and your kind words.
I seems you're moving in the proper direction. Trusting and implementing what you know is so much easier when you have a loving, supportive partner.
I agree there is much need for healing and healers. My only caution for INFP's, intuitive-feelers, and other sensitives is to remember that many who seek healing are not ready to be well making it imperative that we learn to "bless them and leave them" at the end of a healing session.
As to your question, there's so much in your comment that I see several possible questions to be addressed and my intuition is not helping me narrow down what you're asking. Please ask your question and I will be happy to share my thoughts.
Thanks for connecting Sean.
@@theStoicMedium Wow thanks for a great response and taking the time to do so!
I really liked what you said about "bless them and leave them". To expand on that, so is it accurate to conclude that based on the fact that the INFP personality type tends to read others quite well (along with training and experience). Once a knowing and understanding of were the client needs to work through and move towards for healing the phrase "bless them and leave them" speaks to leaving our expectations out of the picture or rather doing our best according to our abilities would you think? At the end of the day we can't be pushy so leaving our expectations out of it eliminates any ego based out come of ours or removes a tendancy to worry, "I haven't done enough or if only I said such and such" as a INFP type could leans towards perhaps? Thoughts on any of those comments?
Really my hesitation at fully embracing, seeing more clients and going "all in" in a more full time basis is that I recognize certain tendencies of mine to have only so much patience or a limited ability to handle so many people in a day. But it's possible to learn to create boundaries, to do lots of self care, rest properly, limit the number of clients in a day to leave space for processing, note taking etc.. In true INFP fashion I have a real need to hermit out for long periods but rarely happens so between clients and an extroverted wife I'm concerned I may hit burn out fast regardless of my passion to move further in this direction. I have questioned if work in therapy is trully a good move for INFPs , on the fence about. Maybe does boil down to self care and certain boundaries to be established when working in a therapy setting. So open to thoughts on that as well.
@@scourneene - In my experience, discovering there is such a thing as an INFP was so powerful for me and severed me well for a long time.
Eventually, the peace I found relating to myself as an INFP created conflict with my inner knowing and the life-skills I was needing to learn.
I had to learn to transcend the limits of my INFP-ness. I learned to be more flexible and adaptable is various situations that I encountered along my path.
I had to play close attention to my tendency to use my introverted preferences as the excuse for not following my dreams and "felt right" and "rang true" for the next steps along my path.
What all this means is that by learning to listen to and trust my inner knowing I was able to cause the results I needed to cause and do so in such a way that I managed my health and wellbeing with proper self-care and nurturing.
Please let me know if this makes sense.
@@scourneene - The biggest area of focus is balancing our physical nature (personality and instincts to survive) with our intuitive knowing.
When we find something that resonates with us physically (Meyers-Briggs, Empath. Highly-Sensitive) our minds tend to give the label meaning thus creating a shortcut to justify our feelings and impulses.
As we expand our spiritual awareness through skills development, we see past labels into our true/authentic/Spirit selves to follow the intention for this incarnation.
In other words, when considering our next steps, leaning into what feels right and rings true as a knowingness requires a willingness to transcend the labels used to define us.
Happiness, Value, Fulfillment in any/all aspects of life (work, relationships, self-awareness) is a conscious choice deliberately and intentionally acted upon causing us to thrive.
As the old saying goes, if it feels right do it and while doing it we learn what is required for self-care and nurturing.
I can say this because defying our physical nature requires a leap of faith. Honoring our intuitive knowing creates competence-based confidence that illumines our way effortlessly.
I hope this makes sense.
@@theStoicMedium This is quite remarkable and what I'm finding to be very true in my experience! Well explained! I've been experiencing a similar peace about myself and at the same time I'm feeling conflict just in that I'm feeling some anxiety mixed with excitement mixed with "what is the world even going to look like for me to work in" given the to es we are facing. Having said that I'm feeling like the timing of discovering (really rediscovery) this INFP type I am part of mixed with certain life situations are extremely aligned to the point of a "make it or break it" pinnacle. I am battling some self criticism thoughts at times not hardcore lime "ah you could of made yourself into this amazing artist" or "I should of stuck with the music more". However as my wife would say "stop shoulding on yourself" lol.
Yes I feel I have transcend certain limits myself (mostly out of survival).
Excellent response! I'll certainly reread to have your experience (simailar to mine) sink in. On your next reply...
Do you think that we, as spiritually beings going through a human experience, are heading into the age of Aquarius? The new world per se…
That's never rung true for me... It seems to me it will take society quite some time to stop seeing power and money as the path to success.
I am seeing fewer people stuck with the limitations handed to them by their parents and starting to make their own choices and way in life.
But for those most vulnerable, the world is still a dangerous place to survive which limits constrains the possibility of a true utopia... at least for the next several generations. Just my opinion.
I also felt free when I had confirmation that I was INFP.
Are you related to Manly P. Hall? You kinda look like him from the photos I've seen. And you are on a similar path of sharing the knowledge rather than holding it , like the Freemasons.
When I took the Meyers -Briggs test and got the results, it felt like a curse. So much so, that i don't even remember my results.
well said
Glad to have found your channel. I found about the MBTI doing some assessment tests to see why kind of job you'd be good to me. But in the end, I got more curious about how it can kinda help to understand myself.
I don't know if I am an empath or sensitive though. I was doing some spiritual work before Covid, but it somehow got a halt with the pandemic.
And as coincidence, life threw me back harder into introspection and meditation.
Life has a way of doing that. Keep up the good work and trust what "feels right" with your gifts and abilities. The deeper you delve into meditation practice and your knowing will become crystal clear.
I'd wait all day for a mail drop from you

Fellow INFP here....🙂
Welcome.
I don’t like sales or salesmen feels wrong.
I have a question please!
Am not sure I understood quite well the 3rd point
For ex am a biologist, and I found an internship this year in management even tho I dont think I'll fit in the world of bureaucracy, but at the time same time I find it necessary for both money and am also telling myself that i might need management / planning skills if I wanted to open my own UA-cam channel maybe... so it could be serving me for the future, is that what you meant by your 3rd advice?
Thank you!
It certainly feels that way. My best recommendation is to trust what you know and go all in.
Keep your intention in mind and consider creating an exit strategy which you review from time to time to see if you've gained the skills and experiences that serve your intention.
Good luck and let me know what you choose.
I sincerely think we are gonna experience some great failures at first. This is the price to pay into building motivation to do things a little bit more magically than others would.
I thought I wasn't good at anything too but I was actually very good at lots of stuff at the same time and never purused them:) please believe in a little magic...not much tho
I really want to be in special forces one day but I question how I would fit in to such an overly masculine and immature culture considering I have always been an empath. I will also say being a soldier would also mean you'll be doing the dirty work for corrupt governments. Hoping one day there will be a a non corrupt police hostage rescue or army special forces that I could join. I would also have to develop many skills over the years to be able to operate in environments with men who are on the complete opposite end of being empathetic
