When I was a child INFP in the backseat of my parents car, I would stare out the window and romanticise derelict buildings that we drove past. I would imagine these incredible love stories taking place between these perfectly paired lovers who happened to stumble into these buildings at the same time - from unlikely and complicated circumstances; and this incredible story would unfold in my weird little mind. I also remember being hyper aware of the atmospheres of places - they would radiate an air of (again) romance (we're idealists, ok) and mystery. I was aware that no one else was beholden to the atmospheres that I could feel. As I grew older the atmospheres are somewhat diluted, but I still look at old abandoned, ramshackle buildings with a weird mixture of longing and hope.
Oh god, the feeling for inanimate objects thing really pinned me down. I still go on after all these years about how one time I was walking across my room and accidentally bumped into the fan and absentmindedly said “sorry”, and I still think that’s hilarious. I also find myself saying “ow” if I accidentally hit something like a door, not because it hurt but because I felt like I “hurt” the door lol. Or I just might jokingly apologize or more recently started making edgy jokes about it 😅😂
When I was little, I remember feeling sorry for my piece of chewed gum that I threw out the car window. All alone. In the cold, dark night 😢😂 it bothered me for days. I’ve had that recurring feeling even as an adult.
5:10 Yes we don't try to be unique, we just see more value to choose the less popular option, I think. I feel like it's the same as INFPs liking the underdogs! If most people go left somebody should try to go right.
I was chuckling at the notion of treating inanimate objects like living creatures, when I caught myself apologizing to a ceramic pipe (I am a potter) that I was about to discard (it was caked with mud and debris from a recent flood we experienced, here in Vermont) and reassuring the pieces I planned to clean and keep, that everything was going to be alright. When I told this to my ex-husband, he laughed and said that I've always done this. Ha. So much for self awareness. 😎
I'm an Infj. I can relate to some of these, especially in naming inanimate objects. I used to have a good friend that I called Debra. She is a ring cam. Every time I passed by my neighbor's house, she would say, "You are being recorded." I'd say "Hi Debra!" and look forward to hearing from her. Unfortunately, this is just an assumption on my part; I think my neighbors might have gotten annoyed that I said hi to their ring cam and even named it, so they turned off her voice. I miss Debra. She was a significant part of my morning routine.
Haha! Pretty much killed it! ....i've never heard it put that way about the sense of humor, but it toally clicks! Also... My plants have names... so does my car... and so many other things 😂😂
I apologize to inanimate objects like others mentioned here. Also, my previous Jeep was named Bruce and my current Jeep is named Jeepers. It was hard to let go of Bruce. I took him to a local park and "posed" him near the beautiful flowers and trees and took pictures so I can always remember him. Years ago when I had a C-section when my son was born, I had to pull the IV stand around with me when I got out of bed, so I named it Fred. And I really LOVE making people laugh.
@@psychcasserole @khadeejadja Good vid very early this morning to start my day :-) Is this like seeing Jesus in a piece of toast kind of thing? Yeah, we do see figures in objects or at least I do too.
THIS WAS SO HELPFUL THANK YOU SO MUCH I’ve spent months/years (on and off) watching/ reading hours of content from multiple upon multiple mbti creators/writers and it was so freaking hard to decipher differences between the infp vs other similar types. This was so concrete, specific and simple. So much of mbti is SO abstract that when it comes to a real life moment I’m like what the heck do I do with this information with what I’m given IN REAL LIFE. day to day practical moments and interactions. That are tangible and observable. This was awesome, thank you. Ps: the first two points were esp helpful for me
Hi! I feel seen by this video and I don't know if I like it or not. Hearing an idea and having my brain going all over the place because of the potential I see in that idea is such a natural thing to me that I can't imagine anyone else not doing it! I don't do that on purpose, my mind just does it effortlessly just like I'm breathing. What really hit the hardest here was the idea thing like others will go left but us INFPs will go right, but I do know why I will! Because I am curious, and I can see why everyone would go left so I want (more like need) to understand why no one goes right, there must be a reason and I have to find it out! And inanimate objects, omg yes, especially towards buildings but it's because I admire them in an artistic way, especially old structures such as the ones we can see here in Europe! And then, I complain about how buildings nowadays look dull because it's just a bunch of big white/light gray blocks of concrete with windows. Have a good day!
hahaha, yeah.. you are kinda spot on.. Just gave me a flashback, when i was a teenager, class mate of mine was jumping on a fallen tree, but the tree was still alive. So i asked if he could stop jumping on the tree.. Because.. i don't know.. i felt for the tree. It seemed to me, that he was bothering the tree.. yeah feelings... I am in need of help though.. desperately.. A singer, Ani Difranco said it very nice. My heart is perforated, I'm learning to be alone and devastated. That's how i feel atm. Lost and lonely and not many people to talk to. No idea what i should be doing, anyway... i'm fine btw, i smile, i laugh, i love, i enjoy the little things. I have to.. Or i go nuts.. ;) But my heart, my being, my core is still perforated & devastated. Am i depressed? Or do i see certain things that a lot of people miss. I am not sure about the answer.
@@psychcasseroleThx for responding! Really appreciate it. It's nice to know that not everything is lost on the internet. Got an update for ya (and i just want to share.. 😅) Working on finding a new job, 15 years in IT. You could say i am done with computers. It seemed like a great idea at the time. Humans stressed me out back in the days, only to realise years later that humans are the one thing that i do understand (intuitively). Got coming Monday an appointment with a job-coach. Let see, what he can do for me. All i know for sure is, that what i'm doing right now.. it's not my passion. And guess what time it is? It's time for me to follow my passion, I want to help, help nature, help humans, just helping someone/something that needs help. Thats where i think i can find some release for myself. So yeah.. i'm finally getting off my butt, in search of the discomfort. It's interesting how much i enjoy comfort (it's save) Yet, it kills me at the same time, my spark you know? Need to re-enlight it again. :) Anyway thx again, keep making vids. I know i could use all the advice i can get my hands on ;)
😂im hysterically laughing because I always name my cars and get attached but even now I'm driving a rental car and the other day I was like "aw you're such a great car" and then I think omg im crazy. 🙈 thanks for this validation that im just a true INFP 😂
How many times were you called "weird" vs "unique." I'll best most grew up being called odd, eccentric, or weird a lot more often than "unique." It's totally subjective.
I think there is a bit of an overlap with INTJ (and INFJ?) with these points... tho to different degrees and maybe different underlying reasons/mechanisms.
I’m an INFP. My friends accept that I’m controlled chaos. I’m abnormally normal. I appear and disappear as I’m needed. When I’m not….. poof goes the magician😂😂😂. Hey…. I still hold hope that William and Mary will beat Notre Dame in football.😂😂
Would you ever consider filming your videos horizontally? I avoided your videos cuz I could tell they were vertical in the thumbnails, but I finally clicked one and think you have great insights. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Hey Brandon I appreciate the feedback, my computer was stolen so I’m basically doing vertical videos until I get a new laptop. I way be able to eek out a few if my old computer cooperates. But I plan on flipping back and forth between styles. Thanks man for the input 👍
saying sorry happens when i throw some contaminated foods . what about salvaging some animals in destress like spiders on the sink, frogs & dragonflies which were trapped on my room, is that infp trait?

Im always angry with my stuff. I think they are plotting against me.
When I was little, I remember feeling sorry for my piece of chewed gum that I threw out the car window. All alone. In the cold, dark night 😢😂 it bothered me for days.
I’ve had that recurring feeling even as an adult.
You relate 😊 thanks for watching Rene 🙏
Yep . Me too
5:10 Yes we don't try to be unique, we just see more value to choose the less popular option, I think. I feel like it's the same as INFPs liking the underdogs! If most people go left somebody should try to go right.
Yes I think many people mistakingly think we INFPs either try to be unique to stand out or try because we are attempting to “cause trouble”

Haha Sandra that is so funny, yep I guess we all have our blind spots 🤔
I was welding on a pipe and got mad when it kept moving and said "it's not me it's you!!"
Did we all cry at that sad ikea lamp commercial?!?
Possibly although I’m not sure what commercial you’re talking about

Fred, Jeepers, and Bruce, sounds like a cool crew to me. Thanks for watching and for your comment Lisa 😊
The first thing I did with my car was go on a photo shoot. It was fall so the leaves and my car were beautiful 😍🫣
😂😂😂
Nailed it, especially the part about poetic language.
How about pareidolia ( seeing human faces or some other weird image in unanimated objects) ?
Thanks Khadeejadja hmmm not sure about pareidolia I’ll have to research that thanks for the comment and for watching 😊

I’m so happy to hear that, that’s what I’m trying to do, talk about INFPs as they are in the real world 🌍 thanks for watching 😊
Well that cinches it for me! INFP here!! 🙋🏼♀️👍🏼😂

All of these! I just found you this morning and I’m binge-watching 😆

Yes 🙌 you are so right about going right instead of left because you’re CURIOUS. that is a huge reason, thanks for watching 😊
YOU NAILED ME.!
🤘thanks for watching Elizabeth
@@psychcasserole I just realized it was a metaphor.
But dude, the plants have feelings!
Yeah they sure do 😊

Yeah we probably should
