I am an INFP, but I spend my money very carefully and I am rather drawn to a minimalistic lifestyle. Material success is nice to have, but inner peace comes first.
Same. I was once told by a financial advisor that I had the potential to be wealthy just because I spend pretty much only what I need, but that was before I told her that I don't care about money enough to spend it ;) haha
If we held an INFP convention there would be music at a low background level, tea water and juices, snack food and it would mostly be every single infp talking to their social friend that forced em to go
Hahhhaaaahhhaaaa 😂😂😂 Exactly, and kind of series of safe snuggly corners scattered around where you can end up having deep and meaningful conversation 😂 INFP party 😁 It does not even sound like you could stick those concepts together 😂😁😁 And most of the other personality types would say later how lame and boring that party was hahhhaaa 😁 And INFP would be like: "Really? I met this interesting person and had an actual conversation with them. It was a succeessss!" 😆😆😆
Me, an INFP: *Literally getting distracted by my surroundings and about to go off the video midway, but thought, “I should at least hear what the last tip is.” Last tip: FINISH THINGS Me: ... Am I that predictable?
I agree. I noticed this too for me. I never finish anything, unless it’s inevitable like my wedding, but otherwise like my Masters degree, I can’t seem to finish most of my plans.😭
@@klbfarwell oh yea... when I go on coffee with friends they become loud and I end up daydreaming..... After realizing that they are just talking for talking sake. That is one of the reasons why I like to have lone time learning interesting things and just using my time for things and people that matter.
I do not go to visit friends who can not quarantee a lift back home for me. Getting stuck over night to a very accommodating friends house? Still a NIGHTMARE!!! No, matter how many feather billows I would be given...I am still stuck and need to get away.
Thanks. I am an infp and I was an architect. I was stuck in my job. There were a lot of project management in architects job, and I hated meetings. Now I quit and working on my passion as a comic illustrator. I wanna write and draw a fantasy graphic novel like lord of the ring. There are times I wanna go back, now I just wanna stick to my passion. Thanks for the adivice.
I started my own business by working part time at my old job, going back to school, and then just going for it. It was very scary. But my first week in my own business was more profitable than any one week in my old job. And I decided to never look back. And here I am over 20 years later and I have loved every single day I’ve went to work. So blessed.
If a video gets boring then I'll go to the comments and see what they say or I may keep watching the video until I get a notification for a new video that I'd rather watch.
Have a good friend I dearly love who's an infp, I should send this to her. As an infj, I love infp's and hate seeing their beautiful souls in prison. I want to open the bird cage and set them free.
I've recently discovered the Myers-Briggs types and am learning more and more about myself as an INFP. I wish I had discovered this decades ago. My entire life until now I thought there was something wrong with me! Such a relief to find out that I am not a "broken person". Perhaps I can slowly start to heal. Thank you for your insightful vid xx
Yes, Save! INFP here. Just quit a job i had for many years. didn’t particularly like it, but it was decent money. Thank God, I saved over the years and just retired early. i finally figured out where I wanted to live and how I want to live. i am Loving the peace and freedom. don’t care if I have to live on a budget. Freedom is more important than having a bunch of stuff.
I’m an INFP in college. I found a good career I’m gonna be an occupational therapist, I can switch things up, work for myself, help people, and make enough money to survive. I can work part time and still have time to do side projects and hobbies. I think there are careers that can allow you to be/do what you want just takes time to find what’s right.
I'm an INFP xray technologist. I currently work for a temp agency and love it. Always switching it up moving around and I can set my own schedule. Also radiology is a creative field.
I am an INFP and I am just going to school in Germany. In September I am going to study physics at university in Münster. My plan is to develop more sustainable technologies or something else I can give my life purpose. I can really feel the statement, that you can be creative in sciences, too. But I am not planning to stay all my life in this job. I love drawing and painting and I am quiet good at it drawing realistic portraits. Maybe I am doing commissioned work in the future, for others. I think I have many options in my life and I am not tired trying new ones until I am really happy with my work.
Excellent content... I am a textbook freaking infp..lol.. but last night I actually sat down and made a budget because I couldn't figure out where all my money was going and basically I just like to have the freedom to get what I want . I want nothing expensive or crazy .. I am opposite of materialistic ,but if I want Chinese twice a week and a healing stone that cost a hundred bucks, I just get it..but at the end I'm just getting by, so I decided to open a savings account and put a percentage in every week and just not look at it so it's so funny when I watched this today. Listening to what you said made me smile. It was like a confirmation to know I was making a good choice ..It's so hard for us to make choices with no one to back us up that's probably one of my biggest problems. No family and few friends.. But I'm learning ,I'm trying to improve♡
YES! It is a game changer to have that money saved on the side! You get security and that makes you more creative, because suddenly you start realising that: "I already have everything that I need to make my dreams come true!" The paradox of INFP is that we do not care about money, but it is the one tool which we need to materialise our visions (like for everybody) and when you realise this and make your base secure, then your life takes off in totally new level. So well done! Go for it!!! Save money!!!
I kinda like basketball. I win a lot. I don't like fighting, but I do when I feel the need to, and am good at that too. I've never lost at basketball or a fight despite not practicing. Like wtf
For me is tennis, ping-pong, fast walking, claiming, dancing and swimming. To watch it there is art skating and dance. O and marshal arts- Bruce Lee is still one and only for me and I love sword fighting.
I'm an INFP and i spent too many years in the past just to make a life changing decision. I'm still struggling everyday, but I feel so much happier than my oldself. Right now I'm saving money so I can do something i really want to do. It's not a lot yet, but I feel better bc I have a direction and I know I'm getting there
im an infp and my dream is to be a best-selling author. i just turned 16, so i still have time, and im watching literally every single infp advice video on youtube because i know i'm not good at money management, and i know i rarely finish things or follow a structure. so im really trying to change that. thanks, this video helped a lot :)
My advice to you would be to write your first novel. It might not be the best quality (or maybe it will be good, but we can only know if we test it out). You are only 16 (or maybe now 17), but this is the time to learn parts of the process (because you can afford: "try, fail, learn, and retry" much more now than as a 26 or even 36 year old). You will learn that it is not only about writing a book, but also editing, media formats (printing, ebooks, etc), publishing options, translation, taxing, pricing, marketing, how to make money, etc). I know a few authors and they had to publish 4 books before they managed to make good money. Some never made money of their books, but was used to sell the keynotes and workshops. The options are limitless, but as I wrote in my book: "it's okay not to know. So we need to believe in our work, so we can test it out in the real world and use the results to improve." If you dislike my advice, then just ignore it and do your thing. Who knows you might be right and I might be wrong, but we can't know, until you try your thing ;-)
yup, story of most INFPs, struggle in attaining purposeful/fulfilling career/paths. Kinda makes me wish there was a gadget that helps with getting closer to what my purpose/mission is to me. Cuz right now, its just becoming a little better everyday, lol
"Finish things" Thanx...my home is a tribute to unfinished projects. This also explains my eccentric resume that makes the reader wonder "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I worked in a garment factory for a couple decades then was a dental assistant for another decade, how I'm a security guard. At some point in the midst of the dental assistant career I "hired" myself as an illustrator/cartoonist. Problem is when you're working freelance you're always looking for work. When you get a job you launch 100% into that job and when you're through you don't have another job because you stopped looking for work. Anyhow I had to take a "second job" to pay bills and then that second job takes up so much time and energy I can't devote to my artwork. I really wish money wasn't necessary to getting through life. I don't like the idea of paying bills until I die, I'd be happy staying home doing yard work and drawing.
INFP here. All this talk is too work-focused for me. I hate salaried work and duty. I hate when people talk about work as something necessary. I have a profession, I'm good at what I do and if someone needs my services they know where to find me. If I have to go out there and "look for a job", "market myself" or sell my goods, how can I say my work is needed? Fuck supply and demand, if they aren't coming to me I'm not needed. I will not do stuff I don't like and job searching, marketing and self-promotion are stuff I don't like, besides being unproductive. Life is to short for this bullshit. I haven't had a job in ten years. I survived these ten years with money from past jobs, occasional gigs, renting out a small room in my house, tricks to stretch the dollar to three times its size, never borrowing money (not even to buy a house or car) and living a minimalist life. I take pleasure in not spending so it's not like not having money is a sacrifice. I'm actually proud of being one of the few people who can live without money, and of saying "fuck you" to the rules of society ( for ex. the work-or-die rule) with which I don't agree. I enjoy life more now than when I had jobs and money. Sometimes it can hurt a little to be deemed a loser and outcast by friends and family, but my goal in life is to maximize pleasure / happiness and reduce pain / discomfort, and I feel that I have achieved that to the best of my possibilities.
@@shahrazade26 The word came to my mind while reading your comment. I feel I do a lot of people pleasing and I see it as often a weakness as I miss out on my needs.
@@andrewkite8207Make sure people are not manipulating or using you. I'm trying to learn how to set boundaries with people. It took me a long time just to realize this was necessary.
This is exactly what I’m going through. I’m a nurse and I’m not happy with my career choice. It’s like taking bullets going to work day by day at a job I don’t care for. I’m also a highly sensitive so sometimes I have to make up excuses to miss work because I’m overwhelmed and I get overstimulated easily. I really wanna start my own business and go into theatrical costuming. I can create anything. My mind is broad and I believe that I have big fucking ideas I want to make a reality! But everything you say is true. I spoke with my cousin about this and he’s a business guy and he says my dreams are no “realistic” and I wouldn’t have enough to support myself financially in the meantime till I get the ball rolling. I feel stuck financially and I hate it. I don’t have support and I’m on my own with my dog. I believe everything will work out at the right time despite of me being down about the situation and the pain in the present moment. I have the power in me and when it takes off I’m going all the way
I quit my job 3 years ago to start my own business and follow my artistic abilities. I am still going strong but sometimes I still get doubts but I just keep going
I resonated with this so much as an INFP! I have big dreams that most people don't understand. Your explanations help me feel better to push forward. Thanks.
as an infp who is still in high school (junior here 👋🏼) ive had many people ask me what i want my profession to be when i become an adult, and ive always said author. all my life ive always had an interest in writing that was much more intense then other kids. but once i entered middle school i realized that maybe writing/novels isnt the only thing im interested in. music production is also another thing ive became fascinated about, i love music & it would be an absolute dream to be able to have a chance to help produce a song. its very interesting to see how similar infps can be to each other. great video! a lot of what you said/explained was very true! :)
who is brian ???!!! Same here, I’ve always loved words and toying with them growing up. Barely did any homework but whenever any of my teachers gave out creative writing assignments or of the like, I always found myself writing pages and pages more than my peers. It didn’t seem like tedious hw anymore but more like a chance to be creative and see how I might be able to make those words jump off the page and snatch you into my world. Probably why I like rap so much now and hip hop in general, no other genre gives me chance to express myself as accurate as writing 16 bars can. And those “ooos” you get after you spit some fire shit, muwah, priceless.
This is so true... whenever i screw something up it’s like the world ends for me. I’m such a perfectionist and when i have a goal in mind i want to make it.
From a Gen Z INFP in a fast Gen Z world; Everything moves very fast. Social media might make you feel like you're not good enough. But you are. A picture doesn't define a person, and you are beautiful. You have potential, and you can do it. You can follow your dreams. Don't feel over-guilt, it's not worth it. :) Depression is hard, and there is a lot more to this world than we can see. Don't give up on yourself. People around you won't understand you. That's okay. Seek to understand them, and don't change for people. Set your phone down once in a while, so instead of escaping, you can freshen your soul with a summer breeze. Really, though, you can do it! Don't give up! :)
I'm INFP, and i have social anxiety, which unfortunely became depression overtime. Im struggling with these shit, from the year when i was 16. As for now? Im in really happy place, went to see psychiatrist just couple of months ago. It was so fucking huge, best decision of my life. I started SSRI therapy, what diffrence it made in my current life. Then, before i decided to seek help? I was wreck, my life was hell, i was thinking about suicide almost every day, i was dreaming about dying in sleep. SSRI helped me immensely to overcome my anxiety, but i know its only a tool. But im glad i have wonderful friend, i can talk to him about everything. Its very, very important to have person like this, when you are struggling with mental issues.
Gotta let go of the desire for comfort and stop walking in the trap society sets up. Use the power of my spirit and elements to manifest everything i want and need. Focusing on the energies right now. They are what they are. Cruel and ehuasting and then breaks free into beleif in the into the seemingly impossible world of i can do anything with this power.
as an infp i was doing factory work, and i knew it wasn’t for me but it kept food on the table for my daughter. luckily i found someone who knew that wasn’t for me as well and pushed me to do what i really wanted. i started repurposing furniture again and find myself feeling like i’m actually alive for the first time! i was always a person to wait till the last minute to take a leap into the unknown but i feel like since i had someone so supportive, it pushed me harder.

Dan - you can read my soul! 😅 Terrible with money and stuck wanting more but struggling to initiate! 😣 I watch all of your videos and you are a massive help and inspiration to this limp INFP. But I'm getting there- be the change you want to see! 😁
Thanks man! My hope is this magical blue channel can help with that limpness and get you kicking ass! Well, whatever kicking ass looks like for an INFP, you guys aren't exactly the Steven Seagal of personality types.
Most INFPs become successful later on in life after learning all the things you mentioned. Saving money, not giving up,loving yourself but improving and finishing things. Big advice I wish I'd have earlier on in life is definitely around procrastinating and getting stuck in my feelings so much that nothing gets done, ohh and not to cut off from others. Thank you for the video, it's great😄
Hi, I am so grateful and thankful for your video. I am an INFP and just hit adulthood. I taught being an INFP is a curse, now I know part of life is about self love, self awareness, and self development.
Loool it wouldn't matter.. Cause we dont listen to advice.. Not even if it comes from an older verssion of ourselves... We will forever think of the advice but we will do whatever we find to be true to ourselves regardless of the advice
YES!!! 👍😁 Follow NO RULES even when it is ME who tries to make some discipline rules hahhhaaa 😂 Only, I found that I can follow something if I do it as part of "loving myself" -rule. Example: Because I love myself, I will do the dishes every day so I do not need to smell them or make a mountain of them at one go. That is the only way for me! Only self-love works as a motivation in disciplinary situations.
Great advice! Money has always been an issue for my family. That's why I've been saving money since I was 13. I never really had certain plans for it, maybe to buy a car, to start a business, maybe just for a rainy day. It's nice to know I did the right thing. I don't currently have a job. I often feel lazy and unmotivated, stuck. But the truth is that I don't want to work in some dead end job. I want to start my own business or go back to school and explore my passions! Be it art, dance, linguistics, maybe even social studies or psychology. I want to do so much, and I realize that only I can make that happen. I need to stop waiting for the stars to line up in a way that suits me and just go for it! Thank you, INFP out....
I think the job largely depends on the culture. As an infp I am happy in a small business just dealing with data and doing creative stuff in my spare time, making creative stuff for a job would be awful I think. I’d go crazy.
You have said something very important but why doing creative stuff in our job is not a good thing? I am an infp and did some internship on UI/UX designing..it required my creative mind to engage but I hated it I didn't understand why when I have so much interest in using my creativity to create something. I thought I would like that but I didn't. The answer might be in what you have said. Any advice?
Me here unemployed. Knowing this is a sign to make myself happy by writing up the screenplays in my head, and making a cupcake business on the side. All the while doing neither because without a stable paycheck and sense of purpose, depression takes over. Second week of barely leaving my bed, or eating. Feeding the cats is my big daily accomplishment.
That "finish things" really hit me 😂 really struggling in doing & finishing my thesis 😭 Hope u can also make vids abt things that could make an infp motivated (esp during this pandemic 😭 im struggling on getting out of my comfort zone and have an energy to do important stuffs 🥺) tysm!! Ur vids helped me a lot 🧡🧡
I love gymnastics, dance, swimming, yoga, hiking.... I don't like competition. Advice to my younger self, "You are safe when you trust and live your heart. You were born to live your dream (thrive). You are "safe" to be happy and in your authenticity (especially when this is playful and fun) you are TRUE (You)!
I'm an extremely athletic infp, only just found out I was one. My nan used to describe me as a loner who doesn't like to be on his own. I know what she means now.
No one: Me: an INFP in early 20s, already quiting job for 2 times, had traumatic feel like isolation and misunderstood from work circumtances, low self esteem, now keep writing (as most of INFPs like to do), still not getting new job but struggle not to blaming myself, try to stay alive with voices in my head and igonore all suicide action that pop up in my mind, try to love me as much as I can My aunty: yOu dOnT mAkE pRoGrESs! DoNt WaStE yOuR tIME! dOnT bE a WeAk PeRsOn!
So the first point was spot on, unfortunately I realised this too late and am currently working on my exit strategy, although I still don’t know what I want to do once I get out of retail 😅 and the last point about finishing things 😂😂😂 I almost stopped the video half way through because I got distracted by thoughts 😬 but I did manage to re pay attention so yay me lol
Actually I (INFP) love sports! I am a physical therapist because one of my values is health and longevity. I hate seeing people stuffer and I believe that being healthy through exercise and a healthy diet will lead to a fulfilling life. My passion is dance and it helps expressing my complex feelings through the art of movement. The first tip on saving money is so true! I've learned about budgeting last year and been saving 20% on a monthly basis. I can't explain how much comfort and freedom this gives me. It really feels like I'm getting closer to my dream life.
This was in my recommendations just now.. and exactly what I, as a 40 yo INFP who just got tired of narcs and just quit my 10 year long job, needs! Very good advice. Thank you! Was waiting for life to do interesting things for me, but got tired of waiting. Ive had problems moving forward because of many things but when I recently lost the house I was renting and had to downgrade and move back home to my fathers place, this decission about work got a heck of a lot easier! :) I have already managed to save alot of money so I feel pretty safe even if everything seems to have fallen apart atm. Now its time to rebuild my life the way I want it!
Wow I am exactly I'm that situation of spending all my money and being stuck at a crappy job I hate. Also i decided to commit to a long distance relationship with an ISFP...which for me was a real leap of faith and trust and it definitely was for her. Although the LDR has inspired me to better myself. Amazing part for me personally is she accepts me for who I am and doesnt want me to change anything and said I'm perfect for her which to me hit the heart big time. I also struggle with loving and accepting myself and her words towards me makes me look at myself in a different light. To me she's my everything and theres nothing I wouldnt be willing to do for her and we are both making plans towards the future while also keeping reality checks.
As an Infp I love sports. I've been playing Karate Kyokushin for years now and I just came back from training a few hours ago. I always participate in tournaments too. I also love swimming and basketball (also participated in tournaments too). Well I do have a creative side. I'm really good at making small cartoon movies and animation. Loved your video.😍
I can't believe how you've perfectly described my situation right now in the first few minutes haha. I'm literally trapped now and have been jobless for 6 months already. I want a job just for money but I don't wanna work lol. Silly as it is, but now that I started on my creative pursuit, life just struck me with reality that I have to hustle and get myself a decent job. I'm hopeful for a new beginning. We got this fello INFPs ✨
I am an INFP and wish to be a nurse in the future or create my own daycare for kids,the disabled and elderly. Apart from that I also really love photography.
Hi there, I've recently discovered your work here on personality types. I'm an INFP, and enjoy the insights I've heard from you so far. I did wish to add though- that as an INFP, I actually have enjoyed sports my whole life. I feel the physical group activity to be good exercise (for body/mind/spirit), assisting with balance, and drawing me out from inside my own head/world. Because we after all can tend to be quite comfortable to stay there for quite some time! :) I have also found sports to be an opportunity to use creative facets in different ways... so here is your INFP who enjoys sports. Thank you for all this wonderful personality info you've put much time in, to prep and share. Namaste
Hey Jennifer, yup I think the sports part wasn't well thought out. To be honest it was a bit of a spontaneous joke but you're not the first infp I've heart from since whose into sports. Dan
Loud and clear on saving money for creative pursuits. How to save? Ugh… I love this advice. It’s like you are talking to me personally. Much appreciated. Can’t thank you for enough.
That's IMPOSSIBLE! People are only allowed one dimension, and it must always fit into 80s movie stereotypes. Seriously though, good point calling that out!
It takes me about ten years to realize these problems. Thank you for perfect advices. Happy to know there are some people in the world who clearly understand me. Finally!
I am INFP and this is my advice The life is hard until you notice why people judging the way you are. Either it good or bad, take it with the open heart. Opening your heart to accepting is painful. So without pain you dont feel what is the true life meaning ♥
my main problem is finishing things, i've been jumping from degree to degree bc something calls me up but i've got tired of it after a few months, i'm trapped in a cycle and everybody tells to just do something to get a fucking job... it's really difficult
true. It feels like my life was put on pause when I decided the degree i was studying for wasnt for me. Since then I just cant seem to find goals for myself. I can tell what I DONT want to do, but I cant tell what I DO want to do..
I am an INFP and currently going through a life crisis where I got into the school of my dreams and I've come so far to get here, but now I'm here and it's hard and I'm not sure if I'm good enough so I'm wondering if I'm on the right path or if I should find something else. I got distracted during the first watch, but I started the video over and wrote down all the tips as he went along. I was shocked to find that all of the trials he mentioned, I relate to and am currently experiencing. The tips were so spot on and helpful, I will be using them in my life starting now. Especially the part about pushing through the hard part and finishing things. Thank you for posting this!
WHY ARE YOU SPEAKING TO MY SOUL RIGHT NOW. I am wanting a change. I want to create, but I've lost my spark. I have a career in retail and it is not right for me. I want to design, or write, be a makeup artist, or be a photographer. I blow through my money. I just kept going for more $$ in my jobs. My INTP boyfriend is self employed and his guts inspire me to do my own thing, but I'm terrified to go after my own business. I doubt myself constantly. How do I stop having anxiety about interacting and creating my own network?
Awesome video :) I'm working hard on saving money and building some financial freedom right now. I've been careless with money all my life and because of that I couldn't follow my intuition/what I wanted to do. I was just struggling all the time. Now I am working on loving what I do (job), save money and find my passion I guess.. work on my creativity that I supposedly have. I have an amazing imagination but I am not doing anything with it so... again working on this. Anyway, love your channel!
Thanks Stephanie! I've been creating lots of videos recently around finding your passion and earning from your creativity, I hope you find them helpful. Cheers from Prague, Dan
What you said about your imagination, I have that too. I have a large imagination but never did anything with it exept I love reading and liked drawing and painting as a kid. I was raised in a big practical, no sit and talk just do your job family. So I was never encouraged to do anything with it. But now I have no idea where to start and how. May I ask what job you have?
I'm an INFP, Ennegram (9, 5,4) who worked in a job he didn't like for about 2.5 yrs. I needed more challenges, and also I'm more artistically bent. I enjoy writing and doing poetry. I saved the majority of money that I have, so I can go back to school and also pursue more of my artistic side. I only started doing art again 4 years ago (I'm in my 30's now), getting back into drawing, painting, watercolors, acrylics. I've grown a lot, but being always in the public eye has made me develop a general anxiety disorder. It's so nice to being out of the public eye and back into academics or artistic work again.
hey, i am an infp and i cannot live without sports. Okay, it's sometimes tough when it comes to competition, but still - feeling the wind in your ears and in your hair during skiing or sailing ,is the most wonderfull feeling ever
Great video ..I'm learning english & i understand every single word .! What an amazing video ! I really need to focus on these advices as an #INFP . Thanks alot & keep up the good work.
This is so what I'm going through as an INFP ! I've just quit my job to create and sell my art but now struggling to follow the path I had in my mind before I do that... I can't help looking at jobs and struggling to stay in line with my goals
You are years ahead in wisdom. I was able to always keep that life-boat on hand, when the ship started sinking. I made it to retirement at 57 y.o. You are spot on. And actually good advice for anyone. I jumped off so many sinking ships, but kept afloat for the next boat.
what happen to me sometime I wanna quit my study but at the same time I love certain courses. However, I'm confuse with study and working. In another time I enjoy working.
1.i do spend a lot and it's my mom who helped me to stop it by creating a recurring deposit so that I can save 60% 2. I wanted to change my job for 2 years but couldn't so it cuz I was lazy and didn't get any opportunity... And one day I just quit my job... Surprisingly I got new one in 2 weeks with better hike!! 3. I love my self
I needed this reminder! That is some solid advice, "Love yourself, but never stop improving." I am so friggin hard on myself, it's so stressful for no reason. Good to remember that I can keep progressing but also be good with myself and where I'm at. It is a really hard balance to maintain though, I must say.
I'm in the middle from a healthy and unhealthy infp. I went through so much in life and always spring back better and stronger, but the last thing I went through made me push people away. I forgave the mother of my child over and over and she took advantage. She ruined my life, now I don't trust people. The good that came from it was the inspiration and drive I got with my music, and the feeling that my music is my answer to everything. I'm waiting on a Wi-Fi adapter so I can make beats, I already have the lyrics. I'm so close to being ready to release it I can taste it. Then I hope I can go back to the happy me. I miss my daughter soooo much. I had her 5 days a week, and she never wanted to go to her mom's. Even though I was not with her mom, I still did everything she ever told me to do the same day no matter what. If I was broke, I found a way to do it same day. I was exempt from having to pay child support yet I paid anyway do to fear she would not let me see her, and I'd have to take her back to court, I also bought diapers, wipes, clothes all the time for both her and my house. She has 4 kids by 4 different people and she doesn't let any of them have a dad.
Be kinder to yourself, work your own path instead of stressing over the ways that are enforced onto you and always look out for the beauty in the world.
I'm an INFP, so here's the thing 1. I'm already saving money thankfully the first thing I've done 2. I'm in college, my parents has paid my tuition and all that, never good at school but my passion, I know what that is, and it's art but I don't know how to...go there, the Art Path I wished for years because my parents are all from a military family. We've argued so hard that it made us stay away from each others. 3. Loving myself, that one, it's a balance with loving and hating myself at the same time, because from how I think about it, I can't love myself without hating myself. But because I can't follow my art path, self loathing and hate has gotten me to unbalanced the 2nd and the 3rd one. So the problem right now is I can't seem to go for what I love because of family maters, and because of it I hurt myself more than I should.
There is also the idea of an introspective extrovert. You could naturally feel fulfilled by social situations but be incredibly introspective aswell. I personally know I am 100% INFP because I genuinely feel drained my social situations and need to recharge before approaching another social situation
@@lisalashley4954 my J and P are almost 50% 🤷🏻♀️ so its hard to tell. I relate to both enfp and infp but i dont feel either of them are super accurate to me personally🤣
@@TeaLeafThief yeah i need to be in the mood to go out and i guess after an exhausting work week id rather relax and stay in then go out cuz it takes energy to go out 🤣
@@melissamariee710 I know for me there is no circumstance that would make me want to go out. But I will if the moment calls for it. I think it is about where you find your energy. Do you find it aaround people or do you find it alone? I generally feel a cut off point in a social situation where I feel drained and need to be alone. But either way, you are who you are and your awesome. We are all in Flux and motion, we are never the same person! :)
I am an INFP, but I spend my money very carefully and I am rather drawn to a minimalistic lifestyle. Material success is nice to have, but inner peace comes first.
Same. I was once told by a financial advisor that I had the potential to be wealthy just because I spend pretty much only what I need, but that was before I told her that I don't care about money enough to spend it ;) haha
Bruh same..but a lot of my "friends" find it funny and thinks that I'm an old soul
Curious, would you go to an expensive restaurant and stay in an expensive hotel?
that is totally meeee
@@orewajackkuripper1204 i literally cannot find any male infp in my real life lmao
If we held an INFP convention there would be music at a low background level, tea water and juices, snack food and it would mostly be every single infp talking to their social friend that forced em to go
sounds nice 💛
There might be some cheesy romance movie playing in a corner
where you can cuddle up under a blanket and relax~
😆😆😆
@@StephJ0seph and we single INFPs would look at y'all couples then feel lonely and depressed. boom day ruined
@@GetYossedLol i would be the INFP telling single INFPs how to get a partner aka how to get someone more extroverted than you to take you away xD
Hahhhaaaahhhaaaa 😂😂😂 Exactly, and kind of series of safe snuggly corners scattered around where you can end up having deep and meaningful conversation 😂 INFP party 😁 It does not even sound like you could stick those concepts together 😂😁😁 And most of the other personality types would say later how lame and boring that party was hahhhaaa 😁 And INFP would be like: "Really? I met this interesting person and had an actual conversation with them. It was a succeessss!" 😆😆😆
Me, an INFP: *Literally getting distracted by my surroundings and about to go off the video midway, but thought, “I should at least hear what the last tip is.”
Last tip: FINISH THINGS
Me: ... Am I that predictable?
This.. this is infp energy
I agree. I noticed this too for me. I never finish anything, unless it’s inevitable like my wedding, but otherwise like my Masters degree, I can’t seem to finish most of my plans.😭
Lol :D
W-Wait...d-did you just predict what I'm gonna do!?😱🤣🤣
This hit hard 💯
INFPs unite!! :)
I love my fellow infps! I feel like I'm talking to me! Haha
eaglerabbit89 hell ya
Yeeeeeey😘
woo!!
Unite! Separately... at your own house
I need to meet more INFPs in person
I am INFP
We are all around but we are all in the background...
me too!
They are usually the people that would never talk to u lol
@@klbfarwell oh yea... when I go on coffee with friends they become loud and I end up daydreaming..... After realizing that they are just talking for talking sake. That is one of the reasons why I like to have lone time learning interesting things and just using my time for things and people that matter.
"Getting trapped as an INFP is terrible"
the thought of that makes me anxious
I do not go to visit friends who can not quarantee a lift back home for me. Getting stuck over night to a very accommodating friends house? Still a NIGHTMARE!!! No, matter how many feather billows I would be given...I am still stuck and need to get away.
@@SatumainenOlento I usually try to be the driver so I can leave when I want.... It makes me uncomfortable to be at the mercy of my ride
Am in that particular situation right now, it hits different for an INFP
YES.
As an infp I could care less how nice of a place I have. A roof is a roof
Same. 😊
Sarah Morton Not true. I value a nice quality space with ample lighting. Nothing over the top, just quality.
You could care less? I'm pretty sure you mean you couldn't care less.
speak for yourself
Hah, for me my home is my fortress of comfort and place to live on my unicorn clouds...SO important that it can provide that and PRIVACY! 🏡=💗
Thanks. I am an infp and I was an architect. I was stuck in my job. There were a lot of project management in architects job, and I hated meetings. Now I quit and working on my passion as a comic illustrator. I wanna write and draw a fantasy graphic novel like lord of the ring. There are times I wanna go back, now I just wanna stick to my passion. Thanks for the adivice.
wow.. its lucky you have money and jobs there, so u can quit easily.. mine, i forced to get a job because im the family backbones (im infp)
Oh boy. I'm an INFP architect. I'm unhappy with my profession, due to almost the same things as you :/
And of course I have no money to stop working and pursue my passion 😅😅
@@AlineAzevedo13 I feel for you. Good luck.
@@takchengsze4719 thanks! This Will be my biggest goal right now.
I almost skipped this video because you started off with saving money... 😆... I was like... oh noooo... a lecture!
LOL
haha
fairly_local_time_traveler lol same
I thought well hell, i done screwed that part up.
I hate lectures
I started my own business by working part time at my old job, going back to school, and then just going for it. It was very scary. But my first week in my own business was more profitable than any one week in my old job. And I decided to never look back. And here I am over 20 years later and I have loved every single day I’ve went to work. So blessed.
What kind of business?
@@sum9749exactly what I wanted to ask
" Sometimes you don't know where you are and what have improved, so don't to harsh to yourself..." I'll take this advice
Thanks
INFP here and I’ve been living a minimalist lifestyle for three years. I’m single and love it.
GOALSSSS
I doubt you like being single, you love deep human connection

Me: *clicks onto another INFP video, decides its too boring, goes back to this video*
mood 😆
Bro sameee
🤣🤣
😅
If a video gets boring then I'll go to the comments and see what they say or I may keep watching the video until I get a notification for a new video that I'd rather watch.
Have a good friend I dearly love who's an infp, I should send this to her. As an infj, I love infp's and hate seeing their beautiful souls in prison. I want to open the bird cage and set them free.
We are grateful.
I've recently discovered the Myers-Briggs types and am learning more and more about myself as an INFP. I wish I had discovered this decades ago. My entire life until now I thought there was something wrong with me! Such a relief to find out that I am not a "broken person". Perhaps I can slowly start to heal. Thank you for your insightful vid xx
this is totaly me too, my family especially my brother , kept asking me which box am l too put you in
Whenever I feel lonely and being misunderstood I will come under an infp video 😂 this place really feels like home haha
Yeah me too, makes me feel understood somehow. I know no one else that an INFP, at least not that I know of yet.
Yes, Save! INFP here. Just quit a job i had for many years. didn’t particularly like it, but it was decent money. Thank God, I saved over the years and just retired early. i finally figured out where I wanted to live and how I want to live. i am Loving the peace and freedom. don’t care if I have to live on a budget. Freedom is more important than having a bunch of stuff.
I’m an INFP in college. I found a good career I’m gonna be an occupational therapist, I can switch things up, work for myself, help people, and make enough money to survive. I can work part time and still have time to do side projects and hobbies. I think there are careers that can allow you to be/do what you want just takes time to find what’s right.
I agree, I'm in nursing school, and nursing gives me a purpose and fulfillment so it works well for me
I'm an INFP xray technologist. I currently work for a temp agency and love it. Always switching it up moving around and I can set my own schedule. Also radiology is a creative field.
I'm an INFP and an OT. In my spare time, I write novels to evangelize.
I am an INFP and I am just going to school in Germany. In September I am going to study physics at university in Münster. My plan is to develop more sustainable technologies or something else I can give my life purpose. I can really feel the statement, that you can be creative in sciences, too. But I am not planning to stay all my life in this job. I love drawing and painting and I am quiet good at it drawing realistic portraits. Maybe I am doing commissioned work in the future, for others. I think I have many options in my life and I am not tired trying new ones until I am really happy with my work.
"Finish things"
I watched the whole thing at 1.5 speed because I can't handle my anxiety and wanted to get over with it xD
Great video! Thanksss
Sameee
Still finished it.
Same
that is such a nice tip tho
Me too!
Excellent content... I am a textbook freaking infp..lol.. but last night I actually sat down and made a budget because I couldn't figure out where all my money was going and basically I just like to have the freedom to get what I want . I want nothing expensive or crazy .. I am opposite of materialistic ,but if I want Chinese twice a week and a healing stone that cost a hundred bucks, I just get it..but at the end I'm just getting by, so I decided to open a savings account and put a percentage in every week and just not look at it so it's so funny when I watched this today. Listening to what you said made me smile. It was like a confirmation to know I was making a good choice ..It's so hard for us to make choices with no one to back us up that's probably one of my biggest problems. No family and few friends.. But I'm learning ,I'm trying to improve♡
Great job! I hope you can make it 💕 fellow infp here too :)
Another way to spend money would be to spend money on stuff which is useful like tools,prepper stuff etc it helps a lot.
Good job! Is it weird, that I'm proud of you? 😁
YES! It is a game changer to have that money saved on the side! You get security and that makes you more creative, because suddenly you start realising that: "I already have everything that I need to make my dreams come true!"
The paradox of INFP is that we do not care about money, but it is the one tool which we need to materialise our visions (like for everybody) and when you realise this and make your base secure, then your life takes off in totally new level.
So well done! Go for it!!! Save money!!!
I do hate sports...lol
I kinda like basketball. I win a lot. I don't like fighting, but I do when I feel the need to, and am good at that too. I've never lost at basketball or a fight despite not practicing. Like wtf
Never watch sports though, and I try to avoid them, also try fighting as much as possible as I just want to love everyone
Fun to play not watch!
For me is tennis, ping-pong, fast walking, claiming, dancing and swimming. To watch it there is art skating and dance. O and marshal arts- Bruce Lee is still one and only for me and I love sword fighting.
I like bicycles
I'm an INFP and i spent too many years in the past just to make a life changing decision. I'm still struggling everyday, but I feel so much happier than my oldself. Right now I'm saving money so I can do something i really want to do. It's not a lot yet, but I feel better bc I have a direction and I know I'm getting there
This was encouraging since I'm just starting to save too, thank you!
Right.
Fear stops me a lottt
im an infp and my dream is to be a best-selling author. i just turned 16, so i still have time, and im watching literally every single infp advice video on youtube because i know i'm not good at money management, and i know i rarely finish things or follow a structure. so im really trying to change that. thanks, this video helped a lot :)
My advice to you would be to write your first novel. It might not be the best quality (or maybe it will be good, but we can only know if we test it out).
You are only 16 (or maybe now 17), but this is the time to learn parts of the process (because you can afford: "try, fail, learn, and retry" much more now than as a 26 or even 36 year old).
You will learn that it is not only about writing a book, but also editing, media formats (printing, ebooks, etc), publishing options, translation, taxing, pricing, marketing, how to make money, etc).
I know a few authors and they had to publish 4 books before they managed to make good money.
Some never made money of their books, but was used to sell the keynotes and workshops.
The options are limitless, but as I wrote in my book: "it's okay not to know. So we need to believe in our work, so we can test it out in the real world and use the results to improve."
If you dislike my advice, then just ignore it and do your thing. Who knows you might be right and I might be wrong, but we can't know, until you try your thing ;-)
i worked really hard to become debt free. now focusing more on finding a career that's fulfilling. it's exhausting!
yup, story of most INFPs, struggle in attaining purposeful/fulfilling career/paths. Kinda makes me wish there was a gadget that helps with getting closer to what my purpose/mission is to me. Cuz right now, its just becoming a little better everyday, lol
"Finish things" Thanx...my home is a tribute to unfinished projects.
This also explains my eccentric resume that makes the reader wonder "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I worked in a garment factory for a couple decades then was a dental assistant for another decade, how I'm a security guard. At some point in the midst of the dental assistant career I "hired" myself as an illustrator/cartoonist. Problem is when you're working freelance you're always looking for work. When you get a job you launch 100% into that job and when you're through you don't have another job because you stopped looking for work. Anyhow I had to take a "second job" to pay bills and then that second job takes up so much time and energy I can't devote to my artwork. I really wish money wasn't necessary to getting through life. I don't like the idea of paying bills until I die, I'd be happy staying home doing yard work and drawing.
Leann Webb bingo! I’m right there with you!
INFP here. All this talk is too work-focused for me. I hate salaried work and duty. I hate when people talk about work as something necessary. I have a profession, I'm good at what I do and if someone needs my services they know where to find me. If I have to go out there and "look for a job", "market myself" or sell my goods, how can I say my work is needed? Fuck supply and demand, if they aren't coming to me I'm not needed. I will not do stuff I don't like and job searching, marketing and self-promotion are stuff I don't like, besides being unproductive. Life is to short for this bullshit.
I haven't had a job in ten years. I survived these ten years with money from past jobs, occasional gigs, renting out a small room in my house, tricks to stretch the dollar to three times its size, never borrowing money (not even to buy a house or car) and living a minimalist life. I take pleasure in not spending so it's not like not having money is a sacrifice. I'm actually proud of being one of the few people who can live without money, and of saying "fuck you" to the rules of society ( for ex. the work-or-die rule) with which I don't agree. I enjoy life more now than when I had jobs and money. Sometimes it can hurt a little to be deemed a loser and outcast by friends and family, but my goal in life is to maximize pleasure / happiness and reduce pain / discomfort, and I feel that I have achieved that to the best of my possibilities.
Yep your definitely a infp
Well done!! So many of us get stuck in traps too easily :( You found your strength from somewhere.
@@andrewkite8207 Why do you deem me strong?
@@shahrazade26 The word came to my mind while reading your comment. I feel I do a lot of people pleasing and I see it as often a weakness as I miss out on my needs.
@@andrewkite8207Make sure people are not manipulating or using you.

“Finish things” ...that resonates deeply
This is exactly what I’m going through. I’m a nurse and I’m not happy with my career choice. It’s like taking bullets going to work day by day at a job I don’t care for. I’m also a highly sensitive so sometimes I have to make up excuses to miss work because I’m overwhelmed and I get overstimulated easily. I really wanna start my own business and go into theatrical costuming. I can create anything. My mind is broad and I believe that I have big fucking ideas I want to make a reality! But everything you say is true. I spoke with my cousin about this and he’s a business guy and he says my dreams are no “realistic” and I wouldn’t have enough to support myself financially in the meantime till I get the ball rolling. I feel stuck financially and I hate it. I don’t have support and I’m on my own with my dog. I believe everything will work out at the right time despite of me being down about the situation and the pain in the present moment. I have the power in me and when it takes off I’m going all the way
Do you have an insta that shows of your costumes? I’ll follow you!
Yeah me too
I quit my job 3 years ago to start my own business and follow my artistic abilities. I am still going strong but sometimes I still get doubts but I just keep going
Finally, my corner of the world. INFP’s unite!
Facts Jacob! Feels great knowing there's others similar to me I can learn from and become better because of it
I resonated with this so much as an INFP! I have big dreams that most people don't understand. Your explanations help me feel better to push forward. Thanks.
Your first advice got me already. Last week I gave 20 Australian dollars to a street bass guitar player.
as an infp who is still in high school (junior here 👋🏼) ive had many people ask me what i want my profession to be when i become an adult, and ive always said author. all my life ive always had an interest in writing that was much more intense then other kids. but once i entered middle school i realized that maybe writing/novels isnt the only thing im interested in. music production is also another thing ive became fascinated about, i love music & it would be an absolute dream to be able to have a chance to help produce a song. its very interesting to see how similar infps can be to each other. great video! a lot of what you said/explained was very true! :)
who is brian ???!!! Same here, I’ve always loved words and toying with them growing up. Barely did any homework but whenever any of my teachers gave out creative writing assignments or of the like, I always found myself writing pages and pages more than my peers. It didn’t seem like tedious hw anymore but more like a chance to be creative and see how I might be able to make those words jump off the page and snatch you into my world. Probably why I like rap so much now and hip hop in general, no other genre gives me chance to express myself as accurate as writing 16 bars can. And those “ooos” you get after you spit some fire shit, muwah, priceless.
Your username is my spirit animal...
P.s I can't believe that i found an INFP ATINY like myself!!!!!
Yo guys! I'm an ATINY too! (Virtual hugs)
myday? woahh
This is so true... whenever i screw something up it’s like the world ends for me. I’m such a perfectionist and when i have a goal in mind i want to make it.
From a Gen Z INFP in a fast Gen Z world; Everything moves very fast. Social media might make you feel like you're not good enough. But you are. A picture doesn't define a person, and you are beautiful. You have potential, and you can do it. You can follow your dreams. Don't feel over-guilt, it's not worth it. :) Depression is hard, and there is a lot more to this world than we can see. Don't give up on yourself. People around you won't understand you. That's okay. Seek to understand them, and don't change for people. Set your phone down once in a while, so instead of escaping, you can freshen your soul with a summer breeze. Really, though, you can do it! Don't give up! :)
I'm INFP, and i have social anxiety, which unfortunely became depression overtime. Im struggling with these shit, from the year when i was 16. As for now? Im in really happy place, went to see psychiatrist just couple of months ago. It was so fucking huge, best decision of my life. I started SSRI therapy, what diffrence it made in my current life. Then, before i decided to seek help? I was wreck, my life was hell, i was thinking about suicide almost every day, i was dreaming about dying in sleep. SSRI helped me immensely to overcome my anxiety, but i know its only a tool. But im glad i have wonderful friend, i can talk to him about everything. Its very, very important to have person like this, when you are struggling with mental issues.
Gotta let go of the desire for comfort and stop walking in the trap society sets up. Use the power of my spirit and elements to manifest everything i want and need. Focusing on the energies right now. They are what they are. Cruel and ehuasting and then breaks free into beleif in the into the seemingly impossible world of i can do anything with this power.
as an infp i was doing factory work, and i knew it wasn’t for me but it kept food on the table for my daughter. luckily i found someone who knew that wasn’t for me as well and pushed me to do what i really wanted. i started repurposing furniture again and find myself feeling like i’m actually alive for the first time! i was always a person to wait till the last minute to take a leap into the unknown but i feel like since i had someone so supportive, it pushed me harder.
also it’s terrifying, i have no idea what i’m doing but i know going back to work for someone else isn’t an option ever again for me.
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
01:24 💰 Save as much as you spend: For INFPs, it's crucial to save money and avoid getting stuck in a job or career they dislike. Having a financial cushion allows for more freedom and choices.
03:48 💪 Don't wait for the world to take action for you: Take the initiative to pursue your dreams and goals. Waiting for circumstances to force change can lead to regret.
06:39 ❤️ Love yourself but never stop improving: Embrace self-acceptance and self-love while maintaining a commitment to personal growth and improvement. Balancing self-love with ambition is essential for INFPs.

spending all the money to cope with having a crappy job is so my truth!
Dan - you can read my soul! 😅 Terrible with money and stuck wanting more but struggling to initiate! 😣 I watch all of your videos and you are a massive help and inspiration to this limp INFP. But I'm getting there- be the change you want to see! 😁
Thanks man! My hope is this magical blue channel can help with that limpness and get you kicking ass! Well, whatever kicking ass looks like for an INFP, you guys aren't exactly the Steven Seagal of personality types.
Most INFPs become successful later on in life after learning all the things you mentioned. Saving money, not giving up,loving yourself but improving and finishing things.
Big advice I wish I'd have earlier on in life is definitely around procrastinating and getting stuck in my feelings so much that nothing gets done, ohh and not to cut off from others.
Thank you for the video, it's great😄
Hi, I am so grateful and thankful for your video. I am an INFP and just hit adulthood. I taught being an INFP is a curse, now I know part of life is about self love, self awareness, and self development.
Loool it wouldn't matter.. Cause we dont listen to advice.. Not even if it comes from an older verssion of ourselves... We will forever think of the advice but we will do whatever we find to be true to ourselves regardless of the advice
Oh lord this is soo true now my life's in a mess
I’m self destructive
How fucking true is this my god
YES!!! 👍😁 Follow NO RULES even when it is ME who tries to make some discipline rules hahhhaaa 😂
Only, I found that I can follow something if I do it as part of "loving myself" -rule. Example: Because I love myself, I will do the dishes every day so I do not need to smell them or make a mountain of them at one go. That is the only way for me! Only self-love works as a motivation in disciplinary situations.
Great advice! Money has always been an issue for my family. That's why I've been saving money since I was 13. I never really had certain plans for it, maybe to buy a car, to start a business, maybe just for a rainy day. It's nice to know I did the right thing. I don't currently have a job. I often feel lazy and unmotivated, stuck. But the truth is that I don't want to work in some dead end job. I want to start my own business or go back to school and explore my passions! Be it art, dance, linguistics, maybe even social studies or psychology. I want to do so much, and I realize that only I can make that happen. I need to stop waiting for the stars to line up in a way that suits me and just go for it! Thank you, INFP out....
I think the job largely depends on the culture. As an infp I am happy in a small business just dealing with data and doing creative stuff in my spare time, making creative stuff for a job would be awful I think. I’d go crazy.
Definitely agree!
You have said something very important but why doing creative stuff in our job is not a good thing?
I am an infp and did some internship on UI/UX designing..it required my creative mind to engage but I hated it I didn't understand why when I have so much interest in using my creativity to create something.
I thought I would like that but I didn't. The answer might be in what you have said.
Any advice?
Me here unemployed. Knowing this is a sign to make myself happy by writing up the screenplays in my head, and making a cupcake business on the side. All the while doing neither because without a stable paycheck and sense of purpose, depression takes over. Second week of barely leaving my bed, or eating. Feeding the cats is my big daily accomplishment.
That "finish things" really hit me 😂 really struggling in doing & finishing my thesis 😭
Hope u can also make vids abt things that could make an infp motivated (esp during this pandemic 😭 im struggling on getting out of my comfort zone and have an energy to do important stuffs 🥺)
tysm!! Ur vids helped me a lot 🧡🧡
I started my business and have no support. This is my biggest struggle. Finding someone who's actually supportive
Im an INFP athlete! hockey football soccer baseball :}
H G cool!
Lol, I caught that too. We can be good at sports 😂
nice =)
I love gymnastics, dance, swimming, yoga, hiking.... I don't like competition. Advice to my younger self, "You are safe when you trust and live your heart. You were born to live your dream (thrive). You are "safe" to be happy and in your authenticity (especially when this is playful and fun) you are TRUE (You)!
I'm an extremely athletic infp, only just found out I was one. My nan used to describe me as a loner who doesn't like to be on his own. I know what she means now.
No one:
Me: an INFP in early 20s, already quiting job for 2 times, had traumatic feel like isolation and misunderstood from work circumtances, low self esteem, now keep writing (as most of INFPs like to do), still not getting new job but struggle not to blaming myself, try to stay alive with voices in my head and igonore all suicide action that pop up in my mind, try to love me as much as I can
My aunty: yOu dOnT mAkE pRoGrESs! DoNt WaStE yOuR tIME! dOnT bE a WeAk PeRsOn!
Hey are you okay?
So the first point was spot on, unfortunately I realised this too late and am currently working on my exit strategy, although I still don’t know what I want to do once I get out of retail 😅 and the last point about finishing things 😂😂😂 I almost stopped the video half way through because I got distracted by thoughts 😬 but I did manage to re pay attention so yay me lol
Well that's a win!
Haha i did the same thing. But then, the next day, i thought hmm that was a really good video, and i came back.
Actually I (INFP) love sports! I am a physical therapist because one of my values is health and longevity. I hate seeing people stuffer and I believe that being healthy through exercise and a healthy diet will lead to a fulfilling life. My passion is dance and it helps expressing my complex feelings through the art of movement. The first tip on saving money is so true! I've learned about budgeting last year and been saving 20% on a monthly basis. I can't explain how much comfort and freedom this gives me. It really feels like I'm getting closer to my dream life.
This was in my recommendations just now.. and exactly what I, as a 40 yo INFP who just got tired of narcs and just quit my 10 year long job, needs! Very good advice. Thank you! Was waiting for life to do interesting things for me, but got tired of waiting. Ive had problems moving forward because of many things but when I recently lost the house I was renting and had to downgrade and move back home to my fathers place, this decission about work got a heck of a lot easier! :) I have already managed to save alot of money so I feel pretty safe even if everything seems to have fallen apart atm. Now its time to rebuild my life the way I want it!
"You wait for that jump to be made for you." Yep...waiting...
Thanks, man. The saving point makes a lot of sense. I gotta start doing that..
You're welcome Stefan
Wow I am exactly I'm that situation of spending all my money and being stuck at a crappy job I hate. Also i decided to commit to a long distance relationship with an ISFP...which for me was a real leap of faith and trust and it definitely was for her. Although the LDR has inspired me to better myself. Amazing part for me personally is she accepts me for who I am and doesnt want me to change anything and said I'm perfect for her which to me hit the heart big time. I also struggle with loving and accepting myself and her words towards me makes me look at myself in a different light. To me she's my everything and theres nothing I wouldnt be willing to do for her and we are both making plans towards the future while also keeping reality checks.
As an Infp I love sports. I've been playing Karate Kyokushin for years now and I just came back from training a few hours ago. I always participate in tournaments too. I also love swimming and basketball (also participated in tournaments too). Well I do have a creative side. I'm really good at making small cartoon movies and animation. Loved your video.😍
Timtam Walnut yeah, same I'm an INFP and I love sports especially calisthenics and distance running
I can't believe how you've perfectly described my situation right now in the first few minutes haha. I'm literally trapped now and have been jobless for 6 months already. I want a job just for money but I don't wanna work lol. Silly as it is, but now that I started on my creative pursuit, life just struck me with reality that I have to hustle and get myself a decent job. I'm hopeful for a new beginning. We got this fello INFPs ✨
I am an INFP and wish to be a nurse in the future or create my own daycare for kids,the disabled and elderly.
Apart from that I also really love photography.
Happy to see a lot of INFP... I need to meet more INFP...
The last tip had me laughing because I got ADD halfway through the video and almost clicked away hahaha
Im a infp and i love investing before spending
Hi there, I've recently discovered your work here on personality types. I'm an INFP, and enjoy the insights I've heard from you so far. I did wish to add though- that as an INFP, I actually have enjoyed sports my whole life. I feel the physical group activity to be good exercise (for body/mind/spirit), assisting with balance, and drawing me out from inside my own head/world. Because we after all can tend to be quite comfortable to stay there for quite some time! :) I have also found sports to be an opportunity to use creative facets in different ways... so here is your INFP who enjoys sports. Thank you for all this wonderful personality info you've put much time in, to prep and share. Namaste
Hey Jennifer, yup I think the sports part wasn't well thought out. To be honest it was a bit of a spontaneous joke but you're not the first infp I've heart from since whose into sports. Dan
I think it's that infps like to do sports, but dread watching them, cheering for the team etc.
Loud and clear on saving money for creative pursuits. How to save? Ugh… I love this advice. It’s like you are talking to me personally. Much appreciated. Can’t thank you for enough.
I love sports bro, but I also have a huge artistic side
That's IMPOSSIBLE! People are only allowed one dimension, and it must always fit into 80s movie stereotypes. Seriously though, good point calling that out!
Dreams Around The World
Haha xD
Samee
same here
@@enfp Welll, I personally don't know any INFP who's into sports (definitely not myself xD), sooo I was like, Fair point :D Brought a grin to my face
It takes me about ten years to realize these problems. Thank you for perfect advices. Happy to know there are some people in the world who clearly understand me. Finally!
Trying to save money as an INFP is brutally hard. My hobbies and experience finding always make me go broke haha
I am INFP and this is my advice
The life is hard until you notice why people judging the way you are. Either it good or bad, take it with the open heart. Opening your heart to accepting is painful. So without pain you dont feel what is the true life meaning ♥
my main problem is finishing things, i've been jumping from degree to degree bc something calls me up but i've got tired of it after a few months, i'm trapped in a cycle and everybody tells to just do something to get a fucking job... it's really difficult
true. It feels like my life was put on pause when I decided the degree i was studying for wasnt for me. Since then I just cant seem to find goals for myself. I can tell what I DONT want to do, but I cant tell what I DO want to do..
I am an INFP and currently going through a life crisis where I got into the school of my dreams and I've come so far to get here, but now I'm here and it's hard and I'm not sure if I'm good enough so I'm wondering if I'm on the right path or if I should find something else. I got distracted during the first watch, but I started the video over and wrote down all the tips as he went along. I was shocked to find that all of the trials he mentioned, I relate to and am currently experiencing. The tips were so spot on and helpful, I will be using them in my life starting now. Especially the part about pushing through the hard part and finishing things. Thank you for posting this!
GREAT advice! It just put me back on the track towards my goals!
Awesome! :)
WHY ARE YOU SPEAKING TO MY SOUL RIGHT NOW. I am wanting a change. I want to create, but I've lost my spark. I have a career in retail and it is not right for me. I want to design, or write, be a makeup artist, or be a photographer. I blow through my money. I just kept going for more $$ in my jobs. My INTP boyfriend is self employed and his guts inspire me to do my own thing, but I'm terrified to go after my own business. I doubt myself constantly. How do I stop having anxiety about interacting and creating my own network?
Awesome video :) I'm working hard on saving money and building some financial freedom right now. I've been careless with money all my life and because of that I couldn't follow my intuition/what I wanted to do. I was just struggling all the time. Now I am working on loving what I do (job), save money and find my passion I guess.. work on my creativity that I supposedly have. I have an amazing imagination but I am not doing anything with it so... again working on this. Anyway, love your channel!
Thanks Stephanie! I've been creating lots of videos recently around finding your passion and earning from your creativity, I hope you find them helpful. Cheers from Prague, Dan
What you said about your imagination, I have that too. I have a large imagination but never did anything with it exept I love reading and liked drawing and painting as a kid. I was raised in a big practical, no sit and talk just do your job family. So I was never encouraged to do anything with it. But now I have no idea where to start and how. May I ask what job you have?
Nearly didn’t finish it in true INFP style but but I am super happy I did!
I am INFP and my dream is sports, as weird as it might sound
I'm an INFP, Ennegram (9, 5,4) who worked in a job he didn't like for about 2.5 yrs. I needed more challenges, and also I'm more artistically bent. I enjoy writing and doing poetry. I saved the majority of money that I have, so I can go back to school and also pursue more of my artistic side. I only started doing art again 4 years ago (I'm in my 30's now), getting back into drawing, painting, watercolors, acrylics. I've grown a lot, but being always in the public eye has made me develop a general anxiety disorder. It's so nice to being out of the public eye and back into academics or artistic work again.
I’m an INFP and I do like sport. Don’t generalise please
hey, i am an infp and i cannot live without sports. Okay, it's sometimes tough when it comes to competition, but still - feeling the wind in your ears and in your hair during skiing or sailing ,is the most wonderfull feeling ever
Great video ..I'm learning english & i understand every single word .! What an amazing video ! I really need to focus on these advices as an #INFP . Thanks alot & keep up the good work.
This is so what I'm going through as an INFP ! I've just quit my job to create and sell my art but now struggling to follow the path I had in my mind before I do that... I can't help looking at jobs and struggling to stay in line with my goals
The first advice reminded me of my father. We are both INFPs 😅
A wise man :)
You are years ahead in wisdom. I was able to always keep that life-boat on hand, when the ship started sinking. I made it to retirement at 57 y.o. You are spot on. And actually good advice for anyone. I jumped off so many sinking ships, but kept afloat for the next boat.
I try save but daughter always needs shoes etc
Waiting to get fired from a shitty job to justify working the way we want is unbelievably true
Finally someone notices how much I hate sports.
A more minimal lifestyle helps me to better stay on top of things. Otherwise I get very disorderly.
Definitely! You and I both.
what happen to me sometime I wanna quit my study but at the same time I love certain courses. However, I'm confuse with study and working. In another time I enjoy working.
1.i do spend a lot and it's my mom who helped me to stop it by creating a recurring deposit so that I can save 60%
2. I wanted to change my job for 2 years but couldn't so it cuz I was lazy and didn't get any opportunity... And one day I just quit my job... Surprisingly I got new one in 2 weeks with better hike!!
3. I love my self
Classic INFP "'SPENDTHRIFT'" here (😢👎😢), if I have a
nickel, I'll spend $25.00 - like "'OUCH !!!" (👎😢👎)
Sometimes I find myself jonesing to spend money, so I go to the dollar store, where I can't do too much damage to my budget.
so true😋😅
I needed this reminder! That is some solid advice, "Love yourself, but never stop improving." I am so friggin hard on myself, it's so stressful for no reason. Good to remember that I can keep progressing but also be good with myself and where I'm at. It is a really hard balance to maintain though, I must say.
Why House is on the thumbnail?)
Hugh Laurie (the actor) seems to be an INFP. ;)
@@enfp I clicked because of House, but stayed for the good advice. Where were you when I was in my 20"s and 30's - could have used that advice then.
I'm in the middle from a healthy and unhealthy infp. I went through so much in life and always spring back better and stronger, but the last thing I went through made me push people away. I forgave the mother of my child over and over and she took advantage. She ruined my life, now I don't trust people. The good that came from it was the inspiration and drive I got with my music, and the feeling that my music is my answer to everything. I'm waiting on a Wi-Fi adapter so I can make beats, I already have the lyrics. I'm so close to being ready to release it I can taste it. Then I hope I can go back to the happy me. I miss my daughter soooo much. I had her 5 days a week, and she never wanted to go to her mom's. Even though I was not with her mom, I still did everything she ever told me to do the same day no matter what. If I was broke, I found a way to do it same day. I was exempt from having to pay child support yet I paid anyway do to fear she would not let me see her, and I'd have to take her back to court, I also bought diapers, wipes, clothes all the time for both her and my house. She has 4 kids by 4 different people and she doesn't let any of them have a dad.
If you could give ONE piece of advice to your younger self, what would it be?
Go your OWN way, do what YOU want, no matter what other people say or think about it (:
Believe in yourself and go for it. It may be hard but do not give up.
Find the things you like to do, and stick to them like glue :)
Would've chosen programming majors or photography studies early on.
Be kinder to yourself, work your own path instead of stressing over the ways that are enforced onto you and always look out for the beauty in the world.
I'm an INFP, so here's the thing
1. I'm already saving money thankfully the first thing I've done
2. I'm in college, my parents has paid my tuition and all that, never good at school but my passion, I know what that is, and it's art but I don't know how to...go there, the Art Path I wished for years because my parents are all from a military family. We've argued so hard that it made us stay away from each others.
3. Loving myself, that one, it's a balance with loving and hating myself at the same time, because from how I think about it, I can't love myself without hating myself. But because I can't follow my art path, self loathing and hate has gotten me to unbalanced the 2nd and the 3rd one.
So the problem right now is I can't seem to go for what I love because of family maters, and because of it I hurt myself more than I should.
Every time i take the test i flip flop from ENFP and INFP 🤷🏻♀️
There is one tell tale difference between the two. Do you plan more than you execute?
There is also the idea of an introspective extrovert.
You could naturally feel fulfilled by social situations but be incredibly introspective aswell.
I personally know I am 100% INFP because I genuinely feel drained my social situations and need to recharge before approaching another social situation
@@lisalashley4954 my J and P are almost 50% 🤷🏻♀️ so its hard to tell. I relate to both enfp and infp but i dont feel either of them are super accurate to me personally🤣
@@TeaLeafThief yeah i need to be in the mood to go out and i guess after an exhausting work week id rather relax and stay in then go out cuz it takes energy to go out 🤣
@@melissamariee710 I know for me there is no circumstance that would make me want to go out.
But I will if the moment calls for it.
I think it is about where you find your energy. Do you find it aaround people or do you find it alone?
I generally feel a cut off point in a social situation where I feel drained and need to be alone.
But either way, you are who you are and your awesome. We are all in Flux and motion, we are never the same person! :)
This was so nice, I needed that! Thank you!
