If I know one thing about INFPs, it's that if you gain their trust, you get a formidable ally. They may look stubborn with their ideas as well, but once they see that they could trust you, they would listen to you and put your words into consideration. They might even consult to you when they get drowned in their cycle of self-doubt. Fi is such a massive driving force that could make them go great lengths for the things and people they put their faith on. If you have an INFP around you, treasure them.
Don’t think I’ve had many male INFP friends, but female INFP’s seem to just FLOCK to me, lol. It’s not something I mind, however-they’re the only people whose hugs I not only tolerate but actually enjoy.
My gf is an INFP. She can be a bit intense but her knowledge and ideas are such great fuel for doing things. She in turn feels like the organisation and efficiency in doing things, planning things, problem solving, is such a relief. Her intensity to protect me, who goes about neutral and unfazed when someone becomes rude, feels so caring.
@@justcallmejon22 will certainly do so, keep up the stellar work on these videos. I find it hard to put into words what is happening inside ourselves, and you explain things excellently.
Late to the party here, just found your channel mate. INTJ here, my wife is INFP (Psychologist btw). Married for 18 years and still going strong. Watching your video I had this warm grinning the whole time, we both (wife & I) feel if not for each other we would be single... the compatibility we have is fairly unique, in my case I just can't visualize being long term engaged with any other women I know, most I can't stand interacting with beyond a couple hours at a time... imagine a life together... Our relationship is very symbiotic, we provide something to each other that we lack on ourselves. I provide my wife structure and applied solutions and she's my ambassador to the "world of feelings". She deals with the emotional situations and "people's feelings" while I deal with "getting things done" and take care about our future selves. Btw, our daughter inherited a very balanced mix of our traits... she is an ISFP.
Congrats on your long and successful relationship! INFPs really do have this magnetism that's difficult to ignore if both our Fi's align. I can't date someone until I can imagine a future with them either which is interesting because I won't have that data unless I put myself out there but I don't want to put myself out there because I don't have enough data to want to. Anyways...take care of your ISFP child! My niece is an ISFP and it's been a great joy helping her nurture her Fi and learn Te confidence from me 😁
INFP with an INTJ boyfriend here, and I agree with your video. From my point of view, I just love his wit, dark humor and lovely quirkness (although he doesnt see it, and is mostly too harsh on himself 🫤). 5 years together, and we have grow sooooooo much!! And without big fights or pointless drama, just long conversations about hard topics and bad puns while chilling at home. Of course, there was lot of patience and work to do, but turns out everything we needed was someone to trust and to discuss things in a deep intelectual / emotional way (I say emotional as in a " psychological " or abstract way, and not in a shallow drama or crybaby way, that's mostly for imature INFPs). In the beginning, he saw as me as too emotional and I saw him as arrogant, but, as our connection grew stronger, we started to see pass this traits, and see the true intentions behind it. (Sorry about any english mistakes, sending hugs all the way from Brazil 😊)
Obrigado! I visited Brazil a few years ago, it's a beautiful country! I'm happy to hear about your relationship with your INTJ and that you two are growing together. Please continue taking care of my fellow INTJ and your English is perfect ✊
Maybe my INFP man is out there somewhere. Although statistically most INFP's are women (70%), and I'm (tragically) heterosexual. So it's probably not going to happen.
@@Rivey. i think it depends on the infp! i'm pretty young but depending on your life experiences and what you've been through, it can really affect a person and the way they might percieve things, although i think you already knew this!
Mature INFPs who are wise, deep and empathetic are so so attractive. They don’t see how special they are and often tries so hard to be enough, but they are absolutely perfect the way they are. INFPs are unique gems in this world. (Coming from an INFJ who totally adores one special INFP😌)
My reason (as an INFP) for wanting the best but also prepare for the worst, especially during job interviews, is as you've put it clearly in your logical verbalisation: I can't respond in the way that will showcase my abilities on the spot. I don't want to be perceived as an idiot so I prepared for the worst. It's the challenge of a proper impromptu response that makes me feel small. That's why I admired the eloquence of INTJs. We do share the same train of thoughts some times, but I just can't verbalise it as well as an INTJ.
The stare is so accurate. A couple of my family members tell me they get concerned when I stare into space. I did it a lot when I was a child. But when they ask me "what are you thinking about".. I always say, "nothing" it frustrates them
I’m INFP and have like 2 INTJ friends I would KILL and die for. They’re so guarded (like me sometimes) and very beautiful souls. I low-key have a crush on one of my intj friends I can have deep discussions with them about philosophical topics without feeling like an annoying blabbermouth. Their blunt honesty can be a bit harsh sometimes ngl but I appreciate that they would never lie to me. Honestly I love them so much it’s crazy lol
Congrats on finding INTJs! The INFPxINTJ pairing is a lot more common than I used to think so I say go for it if you think being with one of them will make you happy. Good luck 🙂
Aaaah finally someone appreciates us! 😃 Personally, INTJs are the best for INFPs because together we make each other better people, we have different sets of skills and weak points so we complement each other really nicely. It's the ultimate relationship for personal growth.
3:11 Exactly. My INFP friend is quite social for an I type, and whenever I get verbally questioned for... behaviour, she always stands up for me and is noticeably different from usual. I'm very thankful for this. It looks a bit awkward because of the fact that I'm taller and yet look so helpless in those situations. And this is at school. I give back to her, and help her by helping her with homework and other things.
Infps are usually really really social IF they’re comfortable. But you have to really be in that circle.. your friends really like you if they’re really vocal and loud. Otherwise in other situations they’re really quite it comes off as rude ( i know i come off that way.. lol.. but i can’t stop talking if i click with someone.. a little too much)
Thank you so much for this! As an INFP I basically spent my entire 20s single because no one felt like the right match, until I met my partner in my 30s who's an INTJ. Is everything perfect? Well, like you said, we're a great match when we're in our healthiest moods, which isn't always and I'll be the first to admit that my darker pessimistic side can bring us down at times. But the trust, respect and understanding is 110% there and beyond anything I've ever experienced before!
I'm an INTJ and I have three sisters. Two of them are INFPs and the other is an ENFP. My best friend is an INFP. I know so many INFPs that it's kind of terrifying, and I can tell with 99% surety that everything in this video is correct. The INFPs in my life were really hard for me to connect to at first (since they tended to assume I had no feelings until I had a huge argument with one of them because I finally got offended about something) But every time I have a mental breakdown and one of those sisters knows about it, they *will* hunt me down. My INFP friend gets on my nerves sometimes, but that's not because she's an INFP, it's because our values sometimes grate against each other in painful ways. As I have come to understand INFPs from being around them my whole life, I can see how some INTJs would think that the two types are completely incompatible, but my INFPs are some of the smartest and most useful people I know. They're also always willing to help me out whenever I need to most, and no matter what arguments we've had, they always bounce back. I'm terrible at praise so that was probably very disorganized, I don't have time to edit it though and make it coherent.
You made a lot of sense! I agree that it's difficult to deal with them if our values don't align but once both types get to a healthy stage, one of the best partners in crime ✊
Aww I don't know but it's really stress full when others assume things about you not knowing the real you and when you are "special" here comes the pain :( I'm an infp too- but it's hard for me to fit in I'm very cold and others think I have no feelings,, I can't connect with others I have harsh arguments with my family members too I kinda hate some of em because of it but I know deep down I still love them somewhere,, from how different I'm it's difficult to know if I belong here or not, I'd just act okay and ignore and forgive but I don't forget,
When others don't understand your nature here when you get attacked for it, I wish I was logical or let go of my feelings sometimes because I feel that in this world it is not required to have people like me as they treat me like a strange animal the only thing I did was just feeling was just giving them love they didn't understand, you know who you are! You are pretty sure of what you know more than anyone it's your mind it's your heart and you know that very well even if others assumed things it's just how we analyze our nature it's pretty upsetting but we do know who we are so it doesn't really matter Be happy for yourself ur identity it's why you're special!
My roommate is an infp and they are just so adorable and great to be around. I do often feel a bit bad tho because I ofc don't have a very clear connection to my feelings in the slightest, and infps tend to have a better understanding of theirs. As such, I'm not able to show support/comfort/sympathy/etc for them in what most people consider the "correct" way, but they are one of the rare instances where I know they fully understand I care abt them in my own way. They were apparently a bit scared of me when we first met, but I'm glad we've become such good friends. We've definitely gotten each other out of some tough situations lol
As an INFP I only recognised one INTJ in my life and I did magnetised him, but he did the same to me. It seems like the most natural dynamic for me… I hope I will see him again and we can work things out. You made me laugh. I did have the “stare” when I’m not focusing on anything, but my inner world. But you, INTJs have one as well… those soul piercing eyes
I didn't realize that the 'soul piercing' stare that I usually give is when I feel like I finally found someone's Fi. The other stare is because we're curious, but they might look like the same stare from the outside 😅
Hello, an INFP here. Great video. I was usually very hesitant with making bonds with INTx out of inner fear "I won't be understood enough/I won't feel good emotionally among people like these/they'll find my sensitiveness annoying" but with experience I learned that it's not really the case. And such people can really help me grow in areas where my personality just struggles.
Omg 😭 I’m an INFP who recently started dating an INTJ (I just found out that he’s an INTJ). I was looking into the INTJ/INFP dynamic so that I can understand him better and be more helpful to him, and this video made everything make so much more sense of why we get along so well 😂 I also wasn’t expecting this video to be such a confidence boost lmao my guy has expressed to me almost exactly some of the things you say you love about INFPs, and I LOVE that and think it’s hilarious because I didn’t understand where he was coming from. Now I do and thank you so much for this video! ♥️
This video made me feel so warm inside - I came here because I’m an INFP wondering how I might get on with this INTJ guy I’m talking to, but I left with a unique perspective of the positive qualities that others see, which was really refreshing and encouraging.
I think you did a great job with this one! I've known a few INFPs in my life and the three things I can say that have been consistent across the about every encounter are: 1. They can often come off as the "Cloud Cookoolander" stereotype when they're in their own world. I have a friend who I typed accurately just because, she had gotten a humidifier and according to her the design made it look like it had a face so she decided she was gonna call it "grandpa." As we're gaming, it had a minor hiccup or something and she went, "Everything okay grandpa?" Me being the lead wanted to be respectful of IRL stuff taking priority, so I go, "You need a moment to help your grandpa? We can stop before the next pull." And her response was, "Oh no, it's fine. I was talking to my humidifier." And without missing a beat I just thought, "OMG you're an INFP. So much stuff makes so much sense now." So then I ask, have you heard of MBTI? She goes, "Oh yeah... I'm an INFP," and I'm just like, "I fucking knew it!" and we had a good laugh from there. 2. That Fi-Dom energy is damn near impenetrable once they latch on to an idea or a value, unless they want to change it on their own. Right or wrong. This can lead to either triggering that innate defense mech for an INTJ to protect someone who may not be as comfortable protecting their ideas yet, or some of the most FRUSTRATING conversations I've ever been a part of. I had another friend who had expressed early on that they always feel like people don't notice them specifically during voice conversations because they just have a softer voice over the mic. And once they expressed that, it's like it triggered my own Fi "trauma" from growing up and feeling over shadowed cause I didn't know how to express myself, thus when they would try and say something and more extroverted or louder people may have been talking over them at the same time, I had this almost instinct to always let that person finish, and then make a point to circle back to my INFP friend and say, "Hey you were going to share a thought on that topic, what did you want to say?" But on the flip side that same friend an I have had a lot of conversations where I've had to just end it with, "We're going to just have to agree to disagree and move on, because you're logically/factually wrong and I'm not going to waste my time arguing this anymore." Only to then have them come back, usually a good while later, and be like, "You know what? I see what you were talking about with X topic and I agree with that now." And as frustrating as that is whenever it happens, I admire exactly how authentic and strongly the believe in whatever they may be incorrect about, because in a world full of fakers, clout chasers, and trend hoppers, at least the INFP was true enough to themselves to basically say, "I'll die on this hill, because it's what I believe in," and I have nothing but respect for it. 3. They are the only type I can never fully give the "INTJ Door slam" to, even if they've REALLY pissed me off in that moment. Again, probably because internally I recognize that Fi signal, even if we give them different priority, which means once I KNOW your character as a person, I can tell the difference between an intentional slight and one that could have happened and the INFP absolutely didn't mean it like that, it's just the circumstances of the moment made it come off that way. And because of that I also know that we both just need to step away, I probably need to let my Fi ruminate a bit and essentially "feel my feelings" and then come back with a cooler head and just squash the beef. Case in point, that same friend from earlier had done something last Sept. to just REALLY piss me off. And then life got busy and we never really got around to "resolving" that conflict, partially because she didn't even know she had pissed me off. Fast forward to a few weeks ago and a couple of people that we both know pretty well had a pretty bad falling out. And she hit me up because as to be expected she was concerned for the feelings of everyone, and as if there was never any beef to begin with I was giving her advice on how to comfort one party while also staying out of the drama, and reassuring her that I was already in the middle mediating the situation to a degree, not by choice mind you. But the point is where almost every other type, the door slam would have happened and I'd have just been like, "Looking at the list of shit I got going on and oh hey, guess what? Not my problem," with the INFP I couldn't help but just want to reassure them everything would be okay.
It sounds like you have great experience INFPs too and that you understand what I meant when I said that you can just kinda feel them lol. I can never imagine myself door-slamming an INFP that I once considered a friend unless the INFP does something malicious first. Keep your INFPs close dude, they're one of your biggest allies and supporter ✊
@@justcallmejon22 Absolutely! Truth be told, I was waiting for this one cause I wanted to share about those INFP friends that I hold close. But as someone else said, sometimes I just need to be extra sensitive about the way I handle or comment on a situation. I do credit the friend from example 2/3 with helping me improve communicating my intent, because I know as an INTJ, sometimes I'll just see a solution, know it will take everyone else entirely too long to see the same thing, and just say, "I'll do it myself," and act. And she rightfully pointed out how that can make people feel a type of way that was not the intent, which can muddy the results.
yeah i get the last part with getting mad at an infp friend that's naturally a jokester like Jon was saying, even more memeish then me and i'm an ENFP! but i got my feelings hurt but later on i can never stay mad because i can tell they really do mean sorry and didn't mean it in a way for me to get genuinely upset
Not being able to door slam the other is a mutual experience. As an INFP, I have gone through it with one of my INTJ friends and I cut off contact with a very heavy heart, because I was just so painfully aware of what he was struggling with internally but I needed to work on some things alone. I never really stopped thinking of him because of that and re-established contact a few years later. I don't know if I had any influence in it or if he was already aware of what he needed to change but he had kicked pretty much all the bad habits that broke our friendship and matured significantly in that time. We're now closer than ever and sort of take the role of the "existential consultant" for each other. :)
As an INTJ I get the "hope for the best, prepare for the worst" reasoning quite frequently. When growing up both types are either relegated to or adhere to the outcast roles, either by trauma or preference on solitude. Both notice how people get shallow, selfish, vindinctive, or plain disrespectful (mostly seen on unhealthy extraverts), so either we want no part on such an horrendous world (but we need to engage, unfortunately) or are unmotivated to engage. Basically my view on that phenomenon is based on Te (no tangible or long-term profit), which in turn makes me give up), while the INFP's reaction derives from Fi-Si: "It's gonna happen again, a repeating pattern from these given signals." Despite having hopes and dreams, reality takes a heavy toll on them. On the other hand, it's also possible to blend both into an Fi common factor, summarized into a low self-esteem in both INTJs and INFPs, whose feeling aspect is introverted and thus will be affected by their own emotions.
I agree that there's a long lasting negative affect for INTJ/INFPs that continues to be outcasted by society. What I want to add is that the beauty of being an INTJ is that we lead with Ni and have Te. Our motivations come from within and we will do what is necessary to get where we know we can be; That combination is what makes us great! Chin up INTJ, whatever life throws at your I hope you know that you got this ✊
An INTJ once told me not to dwell so much on introspection. LOL Basically, us INFPs love your Ni dom and Te aux mechanics; while you guys love how our Fi and Ne works. It’s so interesting how we see things in our own perspective in different ways, yet understand each other’s POV at the same time. Maybe that is one of the big reasons why we have mentally-stimulating conversations- we kinda see each other eye-to-eye. Thank you, Jonathan @justcallmejon2022, for this wonderful video. Keep those ideas and insights of yours flowing! Kudos. ♡
I appreciate the support! Agreed, there is a certain level of understanding between both types that transcends logic regardless of whether it's something we agree on or disagree. INFPs are easily one of my favorite people ❤
this is the best video abt the relationship between INTJ AND INFP. my brother and my close friend are INTJs while im an INFP. so im glad u appreciate us lol. also i love talking with an INTJ. they bring so much knowledge and very well grounded. they aspire me to b more confident
wow…amazing video!! I love INTJs too. You described us with such depth and nuance, especially compared to some of the INFP videos out there. It’s pretty easy to tell quickly from comments or videos who really gets INFPs and who doesn’t. But you got us even down to how long it actually takes for us to know how we feel, which most don’t understand and make room for, because they just think, well, Fi, - when Fi is really a value system. We know our values before we know what we feel about something or someone. Especially fresh was the distinction between Fi and Fe, very much agree with you that Fi allows us to focus on the individual. We both are slow to trust, both familiar with feeling unseen and unknown in a loud and aggressive E world, both have patience for each other in our own way, we both value loyalty, and if the other person meets our tests of respect and integrity to earns trust over time, you will not find a more loyal faithful and giving pair to each other. What I find extremely attractive in INTJs that I see all over this and your other videos is Ni (Ni is so hot, I always say - haha!), which is so refined and intelligent that it always seems to “know” what is going on in a given situation and what is needed (where our Fi “knows” what is going on internally in someone, and what that person needs). Also… I laughed out loud because I just did that faraway galactic stare earlier thinking or feeling into something. And …. typing two INFPs while you were black out drunk … LOL that’s too guru!!! 😂😂😂 🎉❤
INFPs are easy to understand once we acknowledge your Fi and how it controls you similar to how Ni controls us. Being around INFPs is really refreshing exactly because of what you mentioned about the Extroverted world we live in. I hope that stare lead to something positive because it really does terrify me 🙃
@@justcallmejon22 LOL. It is hard to intimidate the formidable INTJ so I find that so delightfully funny 🤓🙂. Fi is weird. One French MBTI UA-camr, Je Crois Que J’ai Compris, said that the INFP goes to heaven and hell and back, and every shade in between, that’s how we are able to understand all the nuances of human nature (and write works of the sort that Shakespeare, Tolkien, and other INFPs did). As a writer this spoke to me. I guess Fi is the tiger I ride, that can savagely take me to the most unknown places, I’ve had to learn how to ride, be one with it. How does it work being dominated by Ni? (I so wish I had Ni, I find it so attractive. I realized over time all my close friends had strong Ni) It’s like the light saber that cuts through all the fog and muck-but the INTJ’s Ni is refined, like a scalpel thin one.
INTP here and got into MBTI trying to figure out my INTJ partner (obviously didn't know he was at the time) but it really helped me see why he is the way he is. 3 years in, its great, it just works, we never argue, have the best laughs, and he's the most sincere, trustworthy man I've ever met 😊
I'm so confused (in a good way) with this comment since you're an INTP, complimenting INTJs, on a video directed to INFPs. There's so much going on here 😂
@justcallmejon22 OK...I can explain....🤣 this was meant to be on your INTJ and INTP video...I can only conclude that it went down the playlist without me noticing and I commented on the wrong one 😬 I stand by the compliment though, I know where I stand, I know any compliment I receive is sincere and I know he's a man of his word 👍🏻
As a 44 years old INFP, I didn't think I would learn anything about myself in this video. Well, well, you proved me wrong !!! I've been really enjoying your channel, Jon. Thanks 😊😊😊 and Cheers from France !
Really appreciating this relationships series. In this time of my life, I'm completely isolated from everyone, being so stubbornly focused only on my goals and making time for nothing else. But you make me want to move back to a big city, meet new people, include them into my life projects, and be included in theirs. You know, _have friends_ . Your mood is energizing. And you also show this genuinely curious, non-judgmental, almost supportive side of INTJs that people really seem not to get about our type. Our stereotypes don't do us justice in this. Anyway, can't wait for the "INTJs love INTJs" video 😁
I really do appreciate the kinds words! I've noticed that I tend to bounce around from being isolated to being super friends/family focused. I do one, then when I get tired I do the other. It's a good balance for me but I've realized how important they are to my growth as a human being. Whatever you decide to do, whether it's focus on your goal or be around people, I 100% support your decision and hoping for the best ✊
I come back to this video a lot. It feels like a big, warm hug 🤗 I’ve been married to my husband for six months now and it’s cute how sappy he actually is on the inside
Unfortunately, (for an INTJ) I don't have any INFP friends. But it is true that I am drown to them. I had one classmate in highschool. Every small interaction with her was very soothing. But, she was always with her group of friends. So, it was kinda unreal to bypass them and form at least a friendship with her. Plus a friend had a crush on her...
INFP here, you made me realise why I don't fell acomplishement after achieving things I wanted I have a mindset of "I must achieve it and if not, that is a great shame, I will try againg though if I can" so things like loosing weight, getting As or 100% the game feel like something I had to get over with rather than something I did and should be proud of
Accepting it is the first step to becoming better! I understand the 'must' feeling, I think that's Te talking and I go through that daily on the most meaningless task like doing the dishes. I don't think it's an issue per say, but I hope that you feel as proud of yourself as we INTJs do when we see INFPs do amazing things 🙂
I like your energy, it makes me want INTJ friends so I can come up with my own observations of the other side. I often feel like I am restricted by unconscious awe when glancing in the direction of any idea, where I am unable to explore fully or feel anchored. I suspect openness of thought with INTJs would be fun and accelerate.
🥹🥹 Got so emotional while watching this vid. Thanks for acknowledging us INFPs it means a lot.❤ Also wish the INTJ that I’m dating can learn to be a little more sensitive 😂😂 I’m not the pessimistic type and I know where my weaknesses lie, they just need to be more considerate at times when saying the brutal truth.😂😂 Loved this so much I’m gonna watch again for sure to gain more insights. 💖
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I'm sure your INTJ doesn't mean to hurt your feelings the more tired we get the easier it is for us just to speak Te because our Fi is usually asleep at that point. Please take care of my INTJ fam 🙏
@@justcallmejon22 Yeah, thanks to your videos I understand him a lot better. 😄 I’m willing to be patient and not let his words get to be because deep down I know he’s a kind soul. ❤️🩹The same way he’s willing to apologise for what he says when he sees that frown on my face because he knows how sensitive I can be. 🙃 Every INTJ deserves an INFP, and vice versa! 🥰 I hope you’ll find yours too!
So he sent me a funny “break up with you” TikTok video to me all of a sudden.. with laughing emojis and didn’t even bother explaining anything.. 🥺 At first I thought it was a joke but he hasn’t contacted me for 3 days so I decided to block his number and move on… I really thought it would work out but I guess he decided that I maybe too emotional for him. 😞 I wish him and all the INTJs all the best and hope that he finds someone more compatible with him.. Thank you for all the videos that taught me a lot about him. 💙
@@caparitarot I'm not qualified to step in here, but wait a bit longer. Don't get your hopes up but don't go into pessimistic-land. Be patient. Also, if you feel like the INTJ isn't sensitive enough, tell him. If he cares about you, he'll understand and make an attempt. An attempt. Good luck. -INTJ female
@@Falcont71 Thank you for the reply. I’ve decided that we do need time apart to centre ourselves.. I do sincerely hope that he’ll make an attempt to reach out.. but yeah I’ve done too much and what he did really broke my heart..🥺🖤 I do believe we’ll come around if it’s meant to be! Sending all INTJ-INFP pairs so much love💖
Yes! Fe Doms or aux don't see how we Fi people build independent connections with people. Its one on one Fi connection, not the vibe in the room like Fe. So yeah, I agree, Fe doms are blind to this Fi mechanic, or don't think it's powerful. But I disagree. I may not be able to manipulate the emotional vibe of the group, but I can pull on people's individual heart strings if we are Fi connected and that pull can be very strong.
"It just doesn't sound like a pleasant life" T_T I'm an INFP, and so far, other than my own type, I think INTJs are the most interesting/magnetic type to me so far and I don't know why. My own favourite character at the moment is an INTJ.
Thank you so much! INFP here and even though I don't know any INTJ yet, I always love how FJ portrays them! I value intelligence and they are kinda like what I aspire to be if I could be more clever/cartesian and able to actually do things instead of just thinking about the possibilites lolllll
Brooooo 8:53 everytime I listen to this part, you just casually break me down so easily and I cant help but crying…. AND YEAH I AM INFP AND I LOVE YOUUUUUUU
6:01 being an INFP (although I am still speaking on a personal level) I appreciate you for that as well.... it's a quality that I always desire and heavily admire
Being an INFP is the constant battle between realizing just how capable we are of colonizing the stars and effectively using resources to the point that all living things can exist comfortably and in a fulfilled way. But also realizing that the tribalism and vices that are inherent to humanity are probably going to result in our species never setting foot off this planet in a meaningful way before we turn our home planet into a hellscape. Working in medicine, I can empathize so very intensely with my patients, but also feel such a silent rage at the inherent flaws in the system, misinformation, and just choices that got them there. :D Covid about killed me. I don't think I've ever been so angry, misanthropic, and just wanted the world to burn so much. It's not like me, and there was absolutely nothing I could do about it except be reactionary to the aftermath. It's easy to feel small when you're one speck in the herd... And the herd is full of idiots who won't listen to reason - even as they're driving themselves off a cliff.
Thank you for the response and thank you for working in healthcare! I considered it once and arrived to the conclusion that my tiny Fi heart would break too easily so it's best if I avoided it. It is difficult to live in a world knowing that the folly of man is what's stopping us from achieving greater heights, trust me, I empathize with that so much. What I also noticed during my lifetime are all the people in the background trying to remedy the issue and those people give me hope. Keep trekking on and keep taking care of people, there are tons of people out there like myself who rely on your kindness so that we can focus on improving everything else ✊
I really appreciate this video, i can see how intjs and infps can be compatible for sure we each have the things that we long for most in each other and are able to understand and balance each other out pretty well. When it comes to us feeling small, its more than anything at least in my opinion as an infp, its because if we let ourselves get our hopes up like we have so many times in the past and if it doesnt work out (way more often than not) the crushing weight of sadness is unbearable so if we dont let it happen to start with at least it wont be as unbearable, its more than anything a protective mechanism from being subjected to so much pain and disappointment in the past
Thank you for the comment, you've helped me learn something about the INFPs! It didn't occur to me that INFPs would feel sadness just as intensely as other emotions so it makes sense not to get your hopes up. Thank you 🙂
8:56 Because I am??? I see so much hollowness in me so it comes naturally to me. I admire INTJ for being so awesome and being everything I ever wanted to be. It's simply come naturally to me.... I want the best because despite of being okie dokie with everything perfection is what I strike for- and I know I am not the best- I just think I see reality...... no?
Thank you so much for this video- first of all I have never personally known an INTJ- although I found it a bit late (just 1 year late no?) I am thankful that I found, no sugar coating no cynicism... everything was so adoringly said I couldn't help blushing!! It gives a positive outlook towards my own life!! Thank you thank you thank you so much!!!!
7:37 speaking on a personal level- it actually depends on the scenerio.. generally yes the focus would be on the person who left even if they left in anger or it was their fault- in case it was their fault and I am close to the person around I might care for both sides and would want to ensure their well being
Maybe the "small" issue is the same one that can happen to most Fi users, but INFPs/ISFPs would feel it more because it's their dom. Basically, feelings impact us both strongly. And we're also very aware of our own motivations and judge ourselves heavily based on our own values. N types may also have it worse for being up in our heads with a running commentary at all times of how we're not measuring up to where we want to be. And so when you get yourself down, you feel extra small. As an INTJ, I know how to shrug it off because feelings aren't relevant to whatever I'm trying to do at the moment. But maybe INFPs can't or at least have a much harder time? But that's just a guess.
Your guess is correct. It's looks like we're pessimist but we can't help because our Fi is too strong. Maybe that's a kind of defensive mechanism? So when we have happy or sad or dissappointed or feeling down moments, it's feeling isn't too intense. Thanks for your explained. -infp
ISFP here going to chime a little bit. It's not only we feel it more, it's literally the first function in our stack. So turning our feeling off basically we won't be able to process anything & probably unhealthy in the long run. It's like telling you INTJ to turn off your Ni, kinda impossible I guess? And you're right about the part of negative feeling like judging ourselves, feeling extra small etc , exactly will be the very first thing to feel, and maybe we feel it more painful than Fi tertiary/inferior! That's why it's important for us Fi dom to process our feelings first through Ne-Si/Se-Ni to 'correct' our value or judgement, then act on it through Te. If this done correctly, Fi dom will 'do' feelings in a more mature way, because our feelings has privilege to be processed in such long way. I hope this make sense :)
@@throwawayaccountmine I totally get not turning your feelings off, nor would I recommend it for someone's dominant function. As you say, I'm not even sure it's possible. Maybe this is why INTJ x INFP and ISTJ x ISFP are considered good matches. The IXTJ in their mature state can handle immediate threats and give the IXFP type time to gather themselves. And afterwards the IXFP can help the IXTJ unpack and process whatever it was that happened. Because we do have to deal with our emotions eventually, it's just that we can delay it and wouldn't necessarily talk about it with someone who wasn't close to us. Also you guys understand that we may need some private processing time as well before we talk fully about it.
This is so real he's so submissive around me(INFP) even though he (INTJ) looks scary outside and never talks outside he says so many things to me and once we fight because he's jealous he withdraws himself out of me for 3 days. 3 Days later he came back, crying and begging me😭😭 And now we have been dating for 2 years and 6 monts for now :p
3:57 Time is actually an illusion created by our brains. It's just that we are all in sync with the illusion, so, we take it as something obvious. -an INFP
@@justcallmejon22 LOL kidding! That came out way too certain XD I was thinking of it as a possibility, though, physical records do give an impression of the sense of time. But at the end of the day, we are all governed by what we like to precieve as believable
6:57 that reminds me how when someone wants to say/ask something from the teacher they make me go? Yes I struggle expressing myself and do have a loop (is it OK or not? Shall I? Shall I not?) But a question is a question that needs to be asked (you are so lovely and you reminded me that INTJ have Fi even if as an axillary function- but it's there- right there!!)
I am an INFP, and I found out from this video in fact that my partner of almost 6 months (who initiated our relationship with what was essentially a declaration of Undying Love and Devotion™ after years of being close friends) is an INTJ. I was wondering what they saw in me lol. XD
Congrats on finding an INTJ! I love this pairing because there's so much room for growth and emotional maturity between the two. Try not to take things too personally when the INTJ goes full Ni/Te mode and please take care of my INTJ brother for me 🙏
@@justcallmejon22 I will try my best "o"(✯ᴗ✯)"o" And thank you for the food for thought. Sometimes I get insecure on whether my partner's offering solutions because they're judging me; but finding out that's just the way they naturally care (and that they still find things to admire about me anyways) is a reframe I didn't even know I needed. So once again, thank you for posting such a wonderful video. It helped me (and probably a lot of other infps lol) greatly. ( ◡ ω ◡)人
Mann you have me down to a T. Always hoping for the best/preparing for the worst. And can’t help but try to improve despite not really wanting to at times. That is exactly me
INFPs naturally inspire the INTJs because if an INFP is still trying (even after accepting how difficult life is) then the INTJ has no excuse not to work harder ✊
8:56 as an INFP, it’s like it’s just hard to keep up with the noise of the crowd (if you get what I mean), when everyone is so engaged I find it hard to kind of, assert myself into that to the point where I just fade out. And for the happiness part, I honestly don’t know how to explain it in words, it’s more of a thing that happens in our heads ig, pure emotion?? Idk
As an INFP person, I never knew which mbti goes well with other certin mbti, becuse I was never interested in those things. But when I was working, I met this person, very different from me, yet felt somewhat similar in a...weird way, it's like on the outside, you can see that person is very different for how he talks and his thought process, his attitude towards people but everything else, something just felt..similar to me, something clicked that made me thought "That's my kind of person, you're..weird (in a good way)" and the more I talk to him, the more I got curious for this person, and I feel like even he got interested in me too. It's like, we're both trying to gather each other's "data" through having conversations. Later on when I asked his mbti, he said he is INTJ Yes, sometimes he get upset (though he never said he is upset) for not having concrete plans, or why I'm not doing things right away but from what I've seen, INTJ's are literally just a cat. You know, like, they can look cold and they do enjoy some time alone, but when you get to know that person, intj tend to get..very cute in their own way like a cat and I think not many people see this. And these people really inspire me to do things, the knowledge INTJ people have is truely amazing. And from my observation, it's weird people think INTJ's are like robot, yes just a look of 10 seconds might give you that impression, but just because the way they express their worries and carrying for other people is different doesn't mean they're..robots, they do have emotions, sure for INTJ, I feel like they don't really understand their emotions to the fullest? but that doesn't mean they don't have emotions. Emotions are hard to understand in the first place. So I don't really agree with INTJ and INFP memes, I get it, but I feel like most of those are overly exaggerated.
Congrats on finding an INTJ! I've said this before and I'll continue to say this, INFP and INTJs are such an incredible pair. We're different but in a good way, there's always that curiousity in both our types that understanding that allows each type to grow to our own unique way. I enjoy some of the memes because I see it happening between the INFPs in my life and myself but yes, a lot of them are exaggerated. INFPs are way more scary than an INTJ IMO 🙃
Im infp, my bf, intj once said "one thing i hate the most about you is that you always downgraded yourself and i dont understand why. Youre great than anyone else ive ever met." So that point you said just hit right in the nails tbh😂 and as infp, i feel like the reason why we always downgraded ourselves are bcs.. i feel like there are people out there far more greater than us, so i dont wanna overshine other peoples talents i guess. Also i feel like im gonna disappoint people when they cant meet their expectation with my skills.
Consider the opposite of what's stopping you. You facing adversity and putting effort will directly and positively influence your partner. So if you're afraid of overshining someone, remember that you're making your boyfriend both proud and motivated when you do. Congrats on finding him and take care of him for me please 🙏
Regarding your coming about not understanding why we as INFPs do not always expect the best when we put in the best it's because of how much we put in and how amazing our ideal really is we're afraid we'll be disappointed yet again and so we prepare for it. I can really only speak for myself but I know That's why I do it.
It sounds like such a tiring way to live life. I hope Te starts getting engaged with as early as possible so ya'll learn that failing is always part of the process 🙂
Hope for the best. Plan for the worst. You may never feel ecstatic, but you'll never be fully discouraged. I think it's that Ne always 2nd guessing that high Fi. Sure, we may want something, but do we really want it? Can we really achieve it? It can get heavy
I see that a lot in the INFPs in my life. I feel like a lot of you just need a little extra nudge and you'll find your way (if that was the intention) ✊
Oh thank you!! ❤ the man im dating is an intj and to hear im the "cutest" type means a lot. I think he likes me but im a huge feeler so im worried I'll overwhelm him if im not careful Im gonna have to ask you questions about what hes thinking sometime or ill just watch more videos 😭
6:20 😂 where did you get this meme? so exact. i once posted a joke i was so proud of and i only got 3 separate comments asking i was okay. i was okay; it just didn't read that way. 😅
Nice. Indeed mature INFP can be a breath of fresh air in the middle of Se chaos and toxicity. But they are not the best for INTJ that seek growth with the respect to their Ni-Te. The INFP only a comfort place for me when I'm tired and invest some times on passing them quite a knowledge and wisdom, but in the end, I'd seek some like ENTJ or INFJ for further growth. In addition, INFP who has OCD and anxiety and one that is too afraid of breaking the rule and being different kinda tires me. It's like being in a different dimension. Well I'm used to such ISTP and ENTJ boldness and XNTP low Si in daily. That INFP only reminds me on how naive I used to be during childhood. However, mature&healthy INFP with well developed functions are great.
Hihi, I'm an infp ( f )!, i came here to understand my own sister ( INTJ) younger by 3 years, I care for her so much, get worried whether she'll doesn't get misunderstood by society due to reclusive and antisocial tendencies that keep people feet apart emotionally, to the point where i, an Fi myself was concerned, whenever i cared she thought that I'm being too "worrywart" , "going too emotional and self idealistic" about it, although i really understand her boundaries and resoect her, as her individuality makes her strong from potential attachment issues ! ( that i face a lot..) Sometimes i can't help but wonder that does she found me annoying or not? 💦 whether me asking how her day went and other topics to bond over, making her see videos that i think she might find funny, as to her these type of conversations are "too not worth her time talking about" 😔,Thus, i'm very glad to have stumbled upon this video, it made me feel so understood! (≧▽≦) I hope my sister also think just like you to your sister one day! 🌸 ( I have so many things i want to express and describe about the things you've said, but I've already texted down a lot, xD 😔) oh no just realised just writing my genuine thoughts are elongating this-
On behalf of all INTJ siblings out there, Thank you for trying to understand your younger sister. It takes us a long time to start engaging with our emotions but that doesnt mean that we're not trying to understand them. Siblings are naturally supposed to act annoyed especially by older siblings but I assure you that you trying to be involved in her life means more to her than you will ever know. I'm in my mid 30s and I still love my older siblings dearly for how much love they showed when I was a young loner INTJ. Keep it up, she'll show her appreciation later in life when she's ready to engage her emotions ❤
@@justcallmejon22 oh dear me, your most welcome! 🌸(◍•ᴗ•◍) And trying to understand my sister is something I find and believe I should do, as she once yelled, "you don't understand a thing about me!", she doesn't like to open up, and has a mindset that I won't understand her anyways ( :,D)... honestly I do understand that from her point of view, she clearly struggles with trust issues, and lack of people she can truly see as "friends ". Although yes, I do sense that she really does depends/ confides her emotions in me, when she's stressed or wronged in anyway, but not at all times..( I think just this much is enough for me now! 🌸) I believe she might feel like she's showing "vulnerability" from what I researched young intjs do that to protect themselves. Haha as you said yourself , my sister is rather also a loner.. ( I hope she wasn't though 💦). I'm 17 years old this year, and she's just in her early teenager years, :,) dear lord, she's very prone to anger and glaring at my direction randomly as I pass by her... so I can only hope what you have said may come true one day! 😊 I genuinely appreciate your advice a lot! 🌸(´∪`*) ( Thank you for reading my ramblings haha, I hope you have a great day/ night out there! As your appreciation and advice sure has made my night here much lovelier! 🌼)
@Arin_yin I just want to be very clear that your job isn't to understand her but to be a safe space for her. She'll tell you how she feels when she's ready, because you should know as an Fi dom that it's a horrible feeling when people try to tell you how you're feeling when they're wrong. Just be there, that's all that matters.
@@justcallmejon22 it's just a selfish little wish of mine to understand her, as it'll help me to learn more on how to behave or ignore her at times when I should, so she could feel unbothered by my presence ( not ready for opening up). And, I am clear about this though? I would be a fool to not know, as we're siblings who see each other as bestfriends , She's already trying to be self-reliant and I adore that about her, I just hope that at times she has someone who she can trust, be it be me or a friend. 🌸 I do know that she isn't bothered much by emotional factors like I am, I just hope that other than me she'll have someone else in her safe space as well. Even though we're close, I hope she starts to see the importance of friendships one day.
As an INTJ, my friends are few in number, but all dear. ALL 3 OF THEM are INFPs, so you know I had to check this video out to figure out why? It's seems improbable...
I've noticed INFPs are the type I'm able to spot very easily. With the recent rise of VTubers, I noticed very quickly how many of them were INFP and which ones too. Not only that but INFPs are usually the type I can get along with easiest, provided I don't accidentally offend one with a badly thought-out joke. On that note, I both end up feeling very protective of INFPs but also _love_ teasing them and making fun of them, though not in a mean way (I don't know if it's always interpreted the correct way but it's never spiteful and always intended to be playful mocking since I do tend to like and even admire most INFPs. They're just too adorable to me). Also on the note of INFPs sticking up for me, I am friends with a couple and upon hearing things from my past, they were actually shocked and outraged and sort of tried looking out for me, which is odd because I'm really not used to it. Unfortunately where I live isn't fertile soil for INFPs (or really any intuitive type) so the INFPs that are born here tend to leave as soon as they can (I have an escape plan... and it's in motion, albeit slowly) so I really don't get to know any irl, besides maybe my sister who might be INFP.
I agree, INFPs are great! I also noticed that a lot of INFPs tend to express themselves through Vlogs or some sort of platform and those videos tend to be very Fi-Ne heavy. Good luck on your plan fellow INTJ, don't forget that you still reach the finish line going slowly ✊
@@justcallmejon22 I've noticed that too. And thanks. I think because of the stuff I alluded to that INFPs tend to take my side on, I've been in a severe bout of "Mama's Out" though for an extended period of time though that seems to be either ended or nearing the end.
I'm an infp and I'm pretty sure that my friend is an intj considering I'm the person that he goes to for all of his problems and anxiety or just as a sounding board for his various endeavors, there's other reasons to
1 thing you mention about the pessimism so you where referring to finding a job and how the response to not getting it. the reason an infp responds with such dismissal is they never wanted the job. and another thing kinda important we love our darker sad fealings lol i know strange but sad stories songs memories make us feel good. its real interactions that matter to use we cant handle them for to long because the energy drain. most cant understand that reading people emotions constantly that you cant turn off all day is hard so hard. imagen going to a large gathering of any kind and hearing EVERY person think all at the same time but its not hearingg what they think its feeling what every singgle person is fealing. thats how we know instantly who narcissist's are. they are like a blank dead space to us. they feel creepy and dead. and just so you all know rocks have fealings to lol strange i know but we love nature because there fealings are strong and stable and able to trust mostly from nature we feal love and caring.
@@justcallmejon22 We definitely have really good synergy, especially in conversation. It flows very well. 3 years ago, when I reconnected with my crush, we spent 2 hours at a nearby park. It had been 15 years since high school, and the time between us was very therapeutic.
I'm an infj and I don't agree that we would not care about the person that walks away from the group and we wouldn't care. We care about everyone in the group, if one person is unhappy that does mess with the harmony of the group, so we will go after the person who feels left out because it will annoy the crap out of us, because the group is off without that person not being apart of it anymore.
I agree that I could've worded it better because it hindsight, it kinda does sound like I was talking smack about Fe. We know Fe cares but I also want to point out that your comment still refers to the tribe and what I mentioned in the video is that Fi is focused on the self. Both function cares but it's not for the same reason.
If I know one thing about INFPs, it's that if you gain their trust, you get a formidable ally. They may look stubborn with their ideas as well, but once they see that they could trust you, they would listen to you and put your words into consideration. They might even consult to you when they get drowned in their cycle of self-doubt. Fi is such a massive driving force that could make them go great lengths for the things and people they put their faith on. If you have an INFP around you, treasure them.
Well said! Couldn't have said it better myself ✊
Thank you! INFP here, with an INTJ husband 😻
@@MaliMaslacak526I'm an INFP with an INTJ husband as well!❤
I never had an intj drawn to me
I want to be alone alot😂
Don’t think I’ve had many male INFP friends, but female INFP’s seem to just FLOCK to me, lol. It’s not something I mind, however-they’re the only people whose hugs I not only tolerate but actually enjoy.
I went out this weekend and I met an INFP that kept talking to me all night. We are each other's magnet 😁
My gf is an INFP. She can be a bit intense but her knowledge and ideas are such great fuel for doing things. She in turn feels like the organisation and efficiency in doing things, planning things, problem solving, is such a relief.
Her intensity to protect me, who goes about neutral and unfazed when someone becomes rude, feels so caring.
It really is adorable how protective they are of us. Take care of your INFP Queen 👑
@@justcallmejon22 will certainly do so, keep up the stellar work on these videos. I find it hard to put into words what is happening inside ourselves, and you explain things excellently.
INTJ here and happily married to my INFP husband. A match made in heaven.
Jealous 🙃
Late to the party here, just found your channel mate.
INTJ here, my wife is INFP (Psychologist btw). Married for 18 years and still going strong. Watching your video I had this warm grinning the whole time, we both (wife & I) feel if not for each other we would be single... the compatibility we have is fairly unique, in my case I just can't visualize being long term engaged with any other women I know, most I can't stand interacting with beyond a couple hours at a time... imagine a life together...
Our relationship is very symbiotic, we provide something to each other that we lack on ourselves. I provide my wife structure and applied solutions and she's my ambassador to the "world of feelings". She deals with the emotional situations and "people's feelings" while I deal with "getting things done" and take care about our future selves.
Btw, our daughter inherited a very balanced mix of our traits... she is an ISFP.
Congrats on your long and successful relationship! INFPs really do have this magnetism that's difficult to ignore if both our Fi's align. I can't date someone until I can imagine a future with them either which is interesting because I won't have that data unless I put myself out there but I don't want to put myself out there because I don't have enough data to want to. Anyways...take care of your ISFP child! My niece is an ISFP and it's been a great joy helping her nurture her Fi and learn Te confidence from me 😁
INFP with an INTJ boyfriend here, and I agree with your video. From my point of view, I just love his wit, dark humor and lovely quirkness (although he doesnt see it, and is mostly too harsh on himself 🫤). 5 years together, and we have grow sooooooo much!! And without big fights or pointless drama, just long conversations about hard topics and bad puns while chilling at home. Of course, there was lot of patience and work to do, but turns out everything we needed was someone to trust and to discuss things in a deep intelectual / emotional way (I say emotional as in a " psychological " or abstract way, and not in a shallow drama or crybaby way, that's mostly for imature INFPs).
In the beginning, he saw as me as too emotional and I saw him as arrogant, but, as our connection grew stronger, we started to see pass this traits, and see the true intentions behind it. (Sorry about any english mistakes, sending hugs all the way from Brazil 😊)
Obrigado! I visited Brazil a few years ago, it's a beautiful country! I'm happy to hear about your relationship with your INTJ and that you two are growing together. Please continue taking care of my fellow INTJ and your English is perfect ✊
What is your age? I usually havent even seen such a wise infp in my life as you one
Maybe my INFP man is out there somewhere. Although statistically most INFP's are women (70%), and I'm (tragically) heterosexual. So it's probably not going to happen.
@@Rivey. i think it depends on the infp! i'm pretty young but depending on your life experiences and what you've been through, it can really affect a person and the way they might percieve things, although i think you already knew this!
Mature INFPs who are wise, deep and empathetic are so so attractive. They don’t see how special they are and often tries so hard to be enough, but they are absolutely perfect the way they are. INFPs are unique gems in this world. (Coming from an INFJ who totally adores one special INFP😌)
My reason (as an INFP) for wanting the best but also prepare for the worst, especially during job interviews, is as you've put it clearly in your logical verbalisation: I can't respond in the way that will showcase my abilities on the spot. I don't want to be perceived as an idiot so I prepared for the worst. It's the challenge of a proper impromptu response that makes me feel small. That's why I admired the eloquence of INTJs. We do share the same train of thoughts some times, but I just can't verbalise it as well as an INTJ.
I find it interesting that INxPs feel like ya'll don't make sense sometimes. You guys make sense to us 🙂
The stare is so accurate. A couple of my family members tell me they get concerned when I stare into space. I did it a lot when I was a child. But when they ask me "what are you thinking about".. I always say, "nothing" it frustrates them
That stare terrifies me 🙃
I’m INFP and have like 2 INTJ friends I would KILL and die for. They’re so guarded (like me sometimes) and very beautiful souls. I low-key have a crush on one of my intj friends
I can have deep discussions with them about philosophical topics without feeling like an annoying blabbermouth.
Their blunt honesty can be a bit harsh sometimes ngl but I appreciate that they would never lie to me. Honestly I love them so much it’s crazy lol
Congrats on finding INTJs! The INFPxINTJ pairing is a lot more common than I used to think so I say go for it if you think being with one of them will make you happy. Good luck 🙂
As an INFP, i am so thankful to get your input as an INTJ. Its a mutual admiration society:)
❤
Aaaah finally someone appreciates us! 😃 Personally, INTJs are the best for INFPs because together we make each other better people, we have different sets of skills and weak points so we complement each other really nicely. It's the ultimate relationship for personal growth.
Agreed that we're one of the best pairings 🙂
3:11
Exactly. My INFP friend is quite social for an I type, and whenever I get verbally questioned for... behaviour, she always stands up for me and is noticeably different from usual. I'm very thankful for this. It looks a bit awkward because of the fact that I'm taller and yet look so helpless in those situations. And this is at school. I give back to her, and help her by helping her with homework and other things.
I'm happy to hear that you found your INFP! The INFP + INTJ pairing is such a beautiful relationship and I love hearing about it ✊
Infps are usually really really social IF they’re comfortable. But you have to really be in that circle.. your friends really like you if they’re really vocal and loud. Otherwise in other situations they’re really quite it comes off as rude ( i know i come off that way.. lol.. but i can’t stop talking if i click with someone.. a little too much)
@@npcimknot958 I'm INFP, and that is so true. When we're comfortable and around the right people, we can be EXTREMELY social and outgoing.
Thank you so much for this! As an INFP I basically spent my entire 20s single because no one felt like the right match, until I met my partner in my 30s who's an INTJ. Is everything perfect? Well, like you said, we're a great match when we're in our healthiest moods, which isn't always and I'll be the first to admit that my darker pessimistic side can bring us down at times. But the trust, respect and understanding is 110% there and beyond anything I've ever experienced before!
Congrats on finding an INTJ! I really love this pairing and have experienced the benefits of it personally. Please take care of your INTJ for us ❤
I'm an INTJ and I have three sisters. Two of them are INFPs and the other is an ENFP. My best friend is an INFP.
I know so many INFPs that it's kind of terrifying, and I can tell with 99% surety that everything in this video is correct.
The INFPs in my life were really hard for me to connect to at first (since they tended to assume I had no feelings until I had a huge argument with one of them because I finally got offended about something)
But every time I have a mental breakdown and one of those sisters knows about it, they *will* hunt me down. My INFP friend gets on my nerves sometimes, but that's not because she's an INFP, it's because our values sometimes grate against each other in painful ways.
As I have come to understand INFPs from being around them my whole life, I can see how some INTJs would think that the two types are completely incompatible, but my INFPs are some of the smartest and most useful people I know. They're also always willing to help me out whenever I need to most, and no matter what arguments we've had, they always bounce back.
I'm terrible at praise so that was probably very disorganized, I don't have time to edit it though and make it coherent.
You made a lot of sense! I agree that it's difficult to deal with them if our values don't align but once both types get to a healthy stage, one of the best partners in crime ✊
Aww I don't know but it's really stress full when others assume things about you not knowing the real you and when you are "special" here comes the pain :(
I'm an infp too- but it's hard for me to fit in I'm very cold and others think I have no feelings,, I can't connect with others I have harsh arguments with my family members too I kinda hate some of em because of it but I know deep down I still love them somewhere,, from how different I'm it's difficult to know if I belong here or not, I'd just act okay and ignore and forgive but I don't forget,
When others don't understand your nature here when you get attacked for it, I wish I was logical or let go of my feelings sometimes because I feel that in this world it is not required to have people like me as they treat me like a strange animal the only thing I did was just feeling was just giving them love they didn't understand, you know who you are! You are pretty sure of what you know more than anyone it's your mind it's your heart and you know that very well even if others assumed things it's just how we analyze our nature it's pretty upsetting but we do know who we are so it doesn't really matter
Be happy for yourself ur identity it's why you're special!
I think INFPs are the sweetest but I find I have to be more sensitive and it can be easy for me to hurt their feelings
Agreed with both statements 💯
My roommate is an infp and they are just so adorable and great to be around. I do often feel a bit bad tho because I ofc don't have a very clear connection to my feelings in the slightest, and infps tend to have a better understanding of theirs. As such, I'm not able to show support/comfort/sympathy/etc for them in what most people consider the "correct" way, but they are one of the rare instances where I know they fully understand I care abt them in my own way. They were apparently a bit scared of me when we first met, but I'm glad we've become such good friends. We've definitely gotten each other out of some tough situations lol
I'm glad you found your INFPs! They truly are one of our biggest allies and it really is amazing how much they appreciate us. Take care of them ✊
As an INFP I only recognised one INTJ in my life and I did magnetised him, but he did the same to me. It seems like the most natural dynamic for me… I hope I will see him again and we can work things out.
You made me laugh. I did have the “stare” when I’m not focusing on anything, but my inner world. But you, INTJs have one as well… those soul piercing eyes
I didn't realize that the 'soul piercing' stare that I usually give is when I feel like I finally found someone's Fi. The other stare is because we're curious, but they might look like the same stare from the outside 😅
Hello, an INFP here. Great video. I was usually very hesitant with making bonds with INTx out of inner fear "I won't be understood enough/I won't feel good emotionally among people like these/they'll find my sensitiveness annoying" but with experience I learned that it's not really the case. And such people can really help me grow in areas where my personality just struggles.
You'll help the INTx's grow as well so it's a beautiful relationship both ways 🙂
I'm so happy that I found your channel. I'm an INFP engaged to an INTJ. I'm middle-aged & my relationships with INTJs have been the best ♡
Congrats on finding your own INTJ! Please take care of the INTJ for me =)
Omg 😭 I’m an INFP who recently started dating an INTJ (I just found out that he’s an INTJ). I was looking into the INTJ/INFP dynamic so that I can understand him better and be more helpful to him, and this video made everything make so much more sense of why we get along so well 😂 I also wasn’t expecting this video to be such a confidence boost lmao my guy has expressed to me almost exactly some of the things you say you love about INFPs, and I LOVE that and think it’s hilarious because I didn’t understand where he was coming from. Now I do and thank you so much for this video! ♥️
Congrats on finding an INTJ! Please take care of his Fi values and you will always have the biggest cheerleader by your side 😀
This video made me feel so warm inside - I came here because I’m an INFP wondering how I might get on with this INTJ guy I’m talking to, but I left with a unique perspective of the positive qualities that others see, which was really refreshing and encouraging.
INTJs love INFPs ❤
I think you did a great job with this one! I've known a few INFPs in my life and the three things I can say that have been consistent across the about every encounter are:
1. They can often come off as the "Cloud Cookoolander" stereotype when they're in their own world. I have a friend who I typed accurately just because, she had gotten a humidifier and according to her the design made it look like it had a face so she decided she was gonna call it "grandpa." As we're gaming, it had a minor hiccup or something and she went, "Everything okay grandpa?" Me being the lead wanted to be respectful of IRL stuff taking priority, so I go, "You need a moment to help your grandpa? We can stop before the next pull." And her response was, "Oh no, it's fine. I was talking to my humidifier." And without missing a beat I just thought, "OMG you're an INFP. So much stuff makes so much sense now." So then I ask, have you heard of MBTI? She goes, "Oh yeah... I'm an INFP," and I'm just like, "I fucking knew it!" and we had a good laugh from there.
2. That Fi-Dom energy is damn near impenetrable once they latch on to an idea or a value, unless they want to change it on their own. Right or wrong. This can lead to either triggering that innate defense mech for an INTJ to protect someone who may not be as comfortable protecting their ideas yet, or some of the most FRUSTRATING conversations I've ever been a part of. I had another friend who had expressed early on that they always feel like people don't notice them specifically during voice conversations because they just have a softer voice over the mic. And once they expressed that, it's like it triggered my own Fi "trauma" from growing up and feeling over shadowed cause I didn't know how to express myself, thus when they would try and say something and more extroverted or louder people may have been talking over them at the same time, I had this almost instinct to always let that person finish, and then make a point to circle back to my INFP friend and say, "Hey you were going to share a thought on that topic, what did you want to say?" But on the flip side that same friend an I have had a lot of conversations where I've had to just end it with, "We're going to just have to agree to disagree and move on, because you're logically/factually wrong and I'm not going to waste my time arguing this anymore." Only to then have them come back, usually a good while later, and be like, "You know what? I see what you were talking about with X topic and I agree with that now." And as frustrating as that is whenever it happens, I admire exactly how authentic and strongly the believe in whatever they may be incorrect about, because in a world full of fakers, clout chasers, and trend hoppers, at least the INFP was true enough to themselves to basically say, "I'll die on this hill, because it's what I believe in," and I have nothing but respect for it.
3. They are the only type I can never fully give the "INTJ Door slam" to, even if they've REALLY pissed me off in that moment. Again, probably because internally I recognize that Fi signal, even if we give them different priority, which means once I KNOW your character as a person, I can tell the difference between an intentional slight and one that could have happened and the INFP absolutely didn't mean it like that, it's just the circumstances of the moment made it come off that way. And because of that I also know that we both just need to step away, I probably need to let my Fi ruminate a bit and essentially "feel my feelings" and then come back with a cooler head and just squash the beef. Case in point, that same friend from earlier had done something last Sept. to just REALLY piss me off. And then life got busy and we never really got around to "resolving" that conflict, partially because she didn't even know she had pissed me off. Fast forward to a few weeks ago and a couple of people that we both know pretty well had a pretty bad falling out. And she hit me up because as to be expected she was concerned for the feelings of everyone, and as if there was never any beef to begin with I was giving her advice on how to comfort one party while also staying out of the drama, and reassuring her that I was already in the middle mediating the situation to a degree, not by choice mind you. But the point is where almost every other type, the door slam would have happened and I'd have just been like, "Looking at the list of shit I got going on and oh hey, guess what? Not my problem," with the INFP I couldn't help but just want to reassure them everything would be okay.
It sounds like you have great experience INFPs too and that you understand what I meant when I said that you can just kinda feel them lol. I can never imagine myself door-slamming an INFP that I once considered a friend unless the INFP does something malicious first. Keep your INFPs close dude, they're one of your biggest allies and supporter ✊
@@justcallmejon22 Absolutely! Truth be told, I was waiting for this one cause I wanted to share about those INFP friends that I hold close. But as someone else said, sometimes I just need to be extra sensitive about the way I handle or comment on a situation. I do credit the friend from example 2/3 with helping me improve communicating my intent, because I know as an INTJ, sometimes I'll just see a solution, know it will take everyone else entirely too long to see the same thing, and just say, "I'll do it myself," and act. And she rightfully pointed out how that can make people feel a type of way that was not the intent, which can muddy the results.
yeah i get the last part with getting mad at an infp friend that's naturally a jokester like Jon was saying, even more memeish then me and i'm an ENFP! but i got my feelings hurt but later on i can never stay mad because i can tell they really do mean sorry and didn't mean it in a way for me to get genuinely upset
Not being able to door slam the other is a mutual experience. As an INFP, I have gone through it with one of my INTJ friends and I cut off contact with a very heavy heart, because I was just so painfully aware of what he was struggling with internally but I needed to work on some things alone. I never really stopped thinking of him because of that and re-established contact a few years later. I don't know if I had any influence in it or if he was already aware of what he needed to change but he had kicked pretty much all the bad habits that broke our friendship and matured significantly in that time. We're now closer than ever and sort of take the role of the "existential consultant" for each other. :)
As an INTJ I get the "hope for the best, prepare for the worst" reasoning quite frequently. When growing up both types are either relegated to or adhere to the outcast roles, either by trauma or preference on solitude. Both notice how people get shallow, selfish, vindinctive, or plain disrespectful (mostly seen on unhealthy extraverts), so either we want no part on such an horrendous world (but we need to engage, unfortunately) or are unmotivated to engage.
Basically my view on that phenomenon is based on Te (no tangible or long-term profit), which in turn makes me give up), while the INFP's reaction derives from Fi-Si: "It's gonna happen again, a repeating pattern from these given signals." Despite having hopes and dreams, reality takes a heavy toll on them.
On the other hand, it's also possible to blend both into an Fi common factor, summarized into a low self-esteem in both INTJs and INFPs, whose feeling aspect is introverted and thus will be affected by their own emotions.
I agree that there's a long lasting negative affect for INTJ/INFPs that continues to be outcasted by society. What I want to add is that the beauty of being an INTJ is that we lead with Ni and have Te. Our motivations come from within and we will do what is necessary to get where we know we can be; That combination is what makes us great! Chin up INTJ, whatever life throws at your I hope you know that you got this ✊
Infp always knows how they feel
An INTJ once told me not to dwell so much on introspection. LOL
Basically, us INFPs love your Ni dom and Te aux mechanics; while you guys love how our Fi and Ne works. It’s so interesting how we see things in our own perspective in different ways, yet understand each other’s POV at the same time. Maybe that is one of the big reasons why we have mentally-stimulating conversations- we kinda see each other eye-to-eye.
Thank you, Jonathan @justcallmejon2022, for this wonderful video. Keep those ideas and insights of yours flowing! Kudos. ♡
I appreciate the support! Agreed, there is a certain level of understanding between both types that transcends logic regardless of whether it's something we agree on or disagree. INFPs are easily one of my favorite people ❤
this is the best video abt the relationship between INTJ AND INFP. my brother and my close friend are INTJs while im an INFP. so im glad u appreciate us lol. also i love talking with an INTJ. they bring so much knowledge and very well grounded. they aspire me to b more confident
Thank you! A world without INFPs will feel like hell to me 😄
ive been waiting for this one!! thank you!! my gf is an infp i love her so much
Take care and cherish your INFP Queen 👑
@@justcallmejon22 i will!
What an incredible video! Almost always, INFPs are misunderstood. Thank you for this educational video.
I can't say that all INTJs will understand INFPs but I will say that we respect ya'll a lot ✊
wow…amazing video!! I love INTJs too. You described us with such depth and nuance, especially compared to some of the INFP videos out there. It’s pretty easy to tell quickly from comments or videos who really gets INFPs and who doesn’t. But you got us even down to how long it actually takes for us to know how we feel, which most don’t understand and make room for, because they just think, well, Fi, - when Fi is really a value system. We know our values before we know what we feel about something or someone. Especially fresh was the distinction between Fi and Fe, very much agree with you that Fi allows us to focus on the individual. We both are slow to trust, both familiar with feeling unseen and unknown in a loud and aggressive E world, both have patience for each other in our own way, we both value loyalty, and if the other person meets our tests of respect and integrity to earns trust over time, you will not find a more loyal faithful and giving pair to each other. What I find extremely attractive in INTJs that I see all over this and your other videos is Ni (Ni is so hot, I always say - haha!), which is so refined and intelligent that it always seems to “know” what is going on in a given situation and what is needed (where our Fi “knows” what is going on internally in someone, and what that person needs). Also… I laughed out loud because I just did that faraway galactic stare earlier thinking or feeling into something. And …. typing two INFPs while you were black out drunk … LOL that’s too guru!!! 😂😂😂 🎉❤
INFPs are easy to understand once we acknowledge your Fi and how it controls you similar to how Ni controls us. Being around INFPs is really refreshing exactly because of what you mentioned about the Extroverted world we live in. I hope that stare lead to something positive because it really does terrify me 🙃
@@justcallmejon22 LOL. It is hard to intimidate the formidable INTJ so I find that so delightfully funny 🤓🙂. Fi is weird. One French MBTI UA-camr, Je Crois Que J’ai Compris, said that the INFP goes to heaven and hell and back, and every shade in between, that’s how we are able to understand all the nuances of human nature (and write works of the sort that Shakespeare, Tolkien, and other INFPs did). As a writer this spoke to me. I guess Fi is the tiger I ride, that can savagely take me to the most unknown places, I’ve had to learn how to ride, be one with it. How does it work being dominated by Ni? (I so wish I had Ni, I find it so attractive. I realized over time all my close friends had strong Ni) It’s like the light saber that cuts through all the fog and muck-but the INTJ’s Ni is refined, like a scalpel thin one.
You and Carl Yung are the only people who brought justice to fi😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Thank you 🙏
INTP here and got into MBTI trying to figure out my INTJ partner (obviously didn't know he was at the time) but it really helped me see why he is the way he is.
3 years in, its great, it just works, we never argue, have the best laughs, and he's the most sincere, trustworthy man I've ever met 😊
I'm so confused (in a good way) with this comment since you're an INTP, complimenting INTJs, on a video directed to INFPs. There's so much going on here 😂
@justcallmejon22 OK...I can explain....🤣 this was meant to be on your INTJ and INTP video...I can only conclude that it went down the playlist without me noticing and I commented on the wrong one 😬
I stand by the compliment though, I know where I stand, I know any compliment I receive is sincere and I know he's a man of his word 👍🏻
As a 44 years old INFP, I didn't think I would learn anything about myself in this video. Well, well, you proved me wrong !!! I've been really enjoying your channel, Jon. Thanks 😊😊😊 and Cheers from France !
Bonjour! I really do appreciate the support and INFPs are always going to be one of the types that I enjoy talking about the most 🙂
Really appreciating this relationships series. In this time of my life, I'm completely isolated from everyone, being so stubbornly focused only on my goals and making time for nothing else. But you make me want to move back to a big city, meet new people, include them into my life projects, and be included in theirs. You know, _have friends_ . Your mood is energizing.
And you also show this genuinely curious, non-judgmental, almost supportive side of INTJs that people really seem not to get about our type. Our stereotypes don't do us justice in this.
Anyway, can't wait for the "INTJs love INTJs" video 😁
I really do appreciate the kinds words! I've noticed that I tend to bounce around from being isolated to being super friends/family focused. I do one, then when I get tired I do the other. It's a good balance for me but I've realized how important they are to my growth as a human being. Whatever you decide to do, whether it's focus on your goal or be around people, I 100% support your decision and hoping for the best ✊
I come back to this video a lot. It feels like a big, warm hug 🤗 I’ve been married to my husband for six months now and it’s cute how sappy he actually is on the inside
You sound like a great person and thank you for taking care of my fellow INTJ ❤️
Unfortunately, (for an INTJ) I don't have any INFP friends. But it is true that I am drown to them.
I had one classmate in highschool. Every small interaction with her was very soothing. But, she was always with her group of friends. So, it was kinda unreal to bypass them and form at least a friendship with her. Plus a friend had a crush on her...
This is me telling you to just go talk to the INFP! They appreciate effort since it's their 4th function 🙂
@@justcallmejon22 thanks for the encouragement. I actually do have chances.
@@EjnarRaidriar Please just talk to them, about books or films. It can't never go wrong. I always enjoy having conversation with INTJs!

INFP here, you made me realise why I don't fell acomplishement after achieving things I wanted I have a mindset of "I must achieve it and if not, that is a great shame, I will try againg though if I can" so things like loosing weight, getting As or 100% the game feel like something I had to get over with rather than something I did and should be proud of
Accepting it is the first step to becoming better! I understand the 'must' feeling, I think that's Te talking and I go through that daily on the most meaningless task like doing the dishes. I don't think it's an issue per say, but I hope that you feel as proud of yourself as we INTJs do when we see INFPs do amazing things 🙂
I like your energy, it makes me want INTJ friends so I can come up with my own observations of the other side. I often feel like I am restricted by unconscious awe when glancing in the direction of any idea, where I am unable to explore fully or feel anchored. I suspect openness of thought with INTJs would be fun and accelerate.
You either get an open INTJ or a stickler for the Te truth, there's no in between 😅
🥹🥹 Got so emotional while watching this vid. Thanks for acknowledging us INFPs it means a lot.❤ Also wish the INTJ that I’m dating can learn to be a little more sensitive 😂😂 I’m not the pessimistic type and I know where my weaknesses lie, they just need to be more considerate at times when saying the brutal truth.😂😂 Loved this so much I’m gonna watch again for sure to gain more insights. 💖
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I'm sure your INTJ doesn't mean to hurt your feelings the more tired we get the easier it is for us just to speak Te because our Fi is usually asleep at that point. Please take care of my INTJ fam 🙏
@@justcallmejon22 Yeah, thanks to your videos I understand him a lot better. 😄 I’m willing to be patient and not let his words get to be because deep down I know he’s a kind soul. ❤️🩹The same way he’s willing to apologise for what he says when he sees that frown on my face because he knows how sensitive I can be. 🙃 Every INTJ deserves an INFP, and vice versa! 🥰 I hope you’ll find yours too!
So he sent me a funny “break up with you” TikTok video to me all of a sudden.. with laughing emojis and didn’t even bother explaining anything.. 🥺 At first I thought it was a joke but he hasn’t contacted me for 3 days so I decided to block his number and move on… I really thought it would work out but I guess he decided that I maybe too emotional for him. 😞 I wish him and all the INTJs all the best and hope that he finds someone more compatible with him.. Thank you for all the videos that taught me a lot about him. 💙
@@caparitarot I'm not qualified to step in here, but wait a bit longer. Don't get your hopes up but don't go into pessimistic-land. Be patient. Also, if you feel like the INTJ isn't sensitive enough, tell him. If he cares about you, he'll understand and make an attempt. An attempt. Good luck.

@@Falcont71 Thank you for the reply. I’ve decided that we do need time apart to centre ourselves.. I do sincerely hope that he’ll make an attempt to reach out.. but yeah I’ve done too much and what he did really broke my heart..🥺🖤 I do believe we’ll come around if it’s meant to be! Sending all INTJ-INFP pairs so much love💖
My fellow INTJ, you are my brother from another mother. Great video content. Subscribed!
Btw, I am certified in MBTI Step II.
Thank you and congrats on your cert! ✊
Yes! Fe Doms or aux don't see how we Fi people build independent connections with people. Its one on one Fi connection, not the vibe in the room like Fe. So yeah, I agree, Fe doms are blind to this Fi mechanic, or don't think it's powerful. But I disagree. I may not be able to manipulate the emotional vibe of the group, but I can pull on people's individual heart strings if we are Fi connected and that pull can be very strong.
Exactlyy 💯
"It just doesn't sound like a pleasant life" T_T
I'm an INFP, and so far, other than my own type, I think INTJs are the most interesting/magnetic type to me so far and I don't know why. My own favourite character at the moment is an INTJ.
Fi is magnectic to an INTJ 😊
Thank you so much! INFP here and even though I don't know any INTJ yet, I always love how FJ portrays them! I value intelligence and they are kinda like what I aspire to be if I could be more clever/cartesian and able to actually do things instead of just thinking about the possibilites lolllll
Find yourself an xNTJ and you'll be working toward your goals in no time 😀
Brooooo 8:53 everytime I listen to this part, you just casually break me down so easily and I cant help but crying…. AND YEAH I AM INFP AND I LOVE YOUUUUUUU
🙂 thank you!
6:01 being an INFP (although I am still speaking on a personal level) I appreciate you for that as well.... it's a quality that I always desire and heavily admire
Being an INFP is the constant battle between realizing just how capable we are of colonizing the stars and effectively using resources to the point that all living things can exist comfortably and in a fulfilled way. But also realizing that the tribalism and vices that are inherent to humanity are probably going to result in our species never setting foot off this planet in a meaningful way before we turn our home planet into a hellscape.
Working in medicine, I can empathize so very intensely with my patients, but also feel such a silent rage at the inherent flaws in the system, misinformation, and just choices that got them there. :D Covid about killed me. I don't think I've ever been so angry, misanthropic, and just wanted the world to burn so much. It's not like me, and there was absolutely nothing I could do about it except be reactionary to the aftermath.
It's easy to feel small when you're one speck in the herd... And the herd is full of idiots who won't listen to reason - even as they're driving themselves off a cliff.
Thank you for the response and thank you for working in healthcare! I considered it once and arrived to the conclusion that my tiny Fi heart would break too easily so it's best if I avoided it. It is difficult to live in a world knowing that the folly of man is what's stopping us from achieving greater heights, trust me, I empathize with that so much. What I also noticed during my lifetime are all the people in the background trying to remedy the issue and those people give me hope. Keep trekking on and keep taking care of people, there are tons of people out there like myself who rely on your kindness so that we can focus on improving everything else ✊
I really needed to hear this. I was shit talking myself for having fi. It feels so nice when someone appreciates it.
I love an INFP's Fi ❤
As an INFP, we're already best friends. I've thoroughly enjoyed this 🙏. Hope all is well my dude
Doing fantastic, I hope you're doing well also 🙏
Thanks for the side by side of the cognitive functions and similarities!!! Super helpful and interesting to see the breakdown.
❤
I really appreciate this video, i can see how intjs and infps can be compatible for sure we each have the things that we long for most in each other and are able to understand and balance each other out pretty well. When it comes to us feeling small, its more than anything at least in my opinion as an infp, its because if we let ourselves get our hopes up like we have so many times in the past and if it doesnt work out (way more often than not) the crushing weight of sadness is unbearable so if we dont let it happen to start with at least it wont be as unbearable, its more than anything a protective mechanism from being subjected to so much pain and disappointment in the past
Thank you for the comment, you've helped me learn something about the INFPs! It didn't occur to me that INFPs would feel sadness just as intensely as other emotions so it makes sense not to get your hopes up. Thank you 🙂
8:56 Because I am??? I see so much hollowness in me so it comes naturally to me. I admire INTJ for being so awesome and being everything I ever wanted to be. It's simply come naturally to me.... I want the best because despite of being okie dokie with everything perfection is what I strike for- and I know I am not the best- I just think I see reality...... no?
Thank you for the video, I’ve never considered the INTJ and INFP relationship before! It sounds like one that can be very deep and fulfilling.
Easily one of the best pairing if both people are healthy 🙂
Thank you so much for this video- first of all I have never personally known an INTJ- although I found it a bit late (just 1 year late no?) I am thankful that I found, no sugar coating no cynicism... everything was so adoringly said I couldn't help blushing!! It gives a positive outlook towards my own life!! Thank you thank you thank you so much!!!!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I think all INTJs have a special INFP in our life that helps us learn more about our Fi ❤
@@justcallmejon22 ❤❤
Thank you very much , your conclusions about what infp are all about are so accurate. And also you just boosted my confidence so thanks !
Glad it was helpful ✊
7:37 speaking on a personal level- it actually depends on the scenerio.. generally yes the focus would be on the person who left even if they left in anger or it was their fault- in case it was their fault and I am close to the person around I might care for both sides and would want to ensure their well being
Maybe the "small" issue is the same one that can happen to most Fi users, but INFPs/ISFPs would feel it more because it's their dom.
Basically, feelings impact us both strongly. And we're also very aware of our own motivations and judge ourselves heavily based on our own values. N types may also have it worse for being up in our heads with a running commentary at all times of how we're not measuring up to where we want to be. And so when you get yourself down, you feel extra small.
As an INTJ, I know how to shrug it off because feelings aren't relevant to whatever I'm trying to do at the moment. But maybe INFPs can't or at least have a much harder time?
But that's just a guess.
That's a good guess and I don't think they'll ever be a definitive answer so you're probably right 😁
Your guess is correct. It's looks like we're pessimist but we can't help because our Fi is too strong. Maybe that's a kind of defensive mechanism? So when we have happy or sad or dissappointed or feeling down moments, it's feeling isn't too intense.
Thanks for your explained.
-infp
@@nodamekira8580 You're welcome. I just hope it's helpful.
;)
ISFP here going to chime a little bit. It's not only we feel it more, it's literally the first function in our stack. So turning our feeling off basically we won't be able to process anything & probably unhealthy in the long run. It's like telling you INTJ to turn off your Ni, kinda impossible I guess?
And you're right about the part of negative feeling like judging ourselves, feeling extra small etc , exactly will be the very first thing to feel, and maybe we feel it more painful than Fi tertiary/inferior! That's why it's important for us Fi dom to process our feelings first through Ne-Si/Se-Ni to 'correct' our value or judgement, then act on it through Te. If this done correctly, Fi dom will 'do' feelings in a more mature way, because our feelings has privilege to be processed in such long way. I hope this make sense :)
@@throwawayaccountmine I totally get not turning your feelings off, nor would I recommend it for someone's dominant function. As you say, I'm not even sure it's possible.
Maybe this is why INTJ x INFP and ISTJ x ISFP are considered good matches. The IXTJ in their mature state can handle immediate threats and give the IXFP type time to gather themselves. And afterwards the IXFP can help the IXTJ unpack and process whatever it was that happened. Because we do have to deal with our emotions eventually, it's just that we can delay it and wouldn't necessarily talk about it with someone who wasn't close to us. Also you guys understand that we may need some private processing time as well before we talk fully about it.

This is so real he's so submissive around me(INFP) even though he (INTJ) looks scary outside and never talks outside he says so many things to me and once we fight because he's jealous he withdraws himself out of me for 3 days. 3 Days later he came back, crying and begging me😭😭
And now we have been dating for 2 years and 6 monts for now :p

6:57 that reminds me how when someone wants to say/ask something from the teacher they make me go? Yes I struggle expressing myself and do have a loop (is it OK or not? Shall I? Shall I not?) But a question is a question that needs to be asked (you are so lovely and you reminded me that INTJ have Fi even if as an axillary function- but it's there- right there!!)
I am an INFP, and I found out from this video in fact that my partner of almost 6 months (who initiated our relationship with what was essentially a declaration of Undying Love and Devotion™ after years of being close friends) is an INTJ.
I was wondering what they saw in me lol. XD
Congrats on finding an INTJ! I love this pairing because there's so much room for growth and emotional maturity between the two. Try not to take things too personally when the INTJ goes full Ni/Te mode and please take care of my INTJ brother for me 🙏

And thank you for the food for thought. Sometimes I get insecure on whether my partner's offering solutions because they're judging me; but finding out that's just the way they naturally care (and that they still find things to admire about me anyways) is a reframe I didn't even know I needed.
So once again, thank you for posting such a wonderful video. It helped me (and probably a lot of other infps lol) greatly. ( ◡ ω ◡)人
My mum always taught me
“Never get your hopes up about anything.”
So I just….don’t.
That's horrible. Don't deny yourself of happiness!!
@@justcallmejon22 I’ve since learned that a lot of what my mum taught me is bad advice. So I’m working on trying to unlearn it
Mann you have me down to a T. Always hoping for the best/preparing for the worst. And can’t help but try to improve despite not really wanting to at times. That is exactly me
INFPs naturally inspire the INTJs because if an INFP is still trying (even after accepting how difficult life is) then the INTJ has no excuse not to work harder ✊
You made me feel how my baby makes me feel 🥰😂 You guys are heroes. ❤️
❤
8:56 as an INFP, it’s like it’s just hard to keep up with the noise of the crowd (if you get what I mean), when everyone is so engaged I find it hard to kind of, assert myself into that to the point where I just fade out. And for the happiness part, I honestly don’t know how to explain it in words, it’s more of a thing that happens in our heads ig, pure emotion?? Idk
Thank you for providing context. For what it's worth, INTJs see you guys and will support you when you need it ✊
As an INFP person, I never knew which mbti goes well with other certin mbti, becuse I was never interested in those things.
But when I was working, I met this person, very different from me, yet felt somewhat similar in a...weird way, it's like on the outside, you can see that person is very different for how he talks and his thought process, his attitude towards people but everything else, something just felt..similar to me, something clicked that made me thought "That's my kind of person, you're..weird (in a good way)" and the more I talk to him, the more I got curious for this person, and I feel like even he got interested in me too.
It's like, we're both trying to gather each other's "data" through having conversations.
Later on when I asked his mbti, he said he is INTJ
Yes, sometimes he get upset (though he never said he is upset) for not having concrete plans, or why I'm not doing things right away but from what I've seen, INTJ's are literally just a cat.
You know, like, they can look cold and they do enjoy some time alone, but when you get to know that person, intj tend to get..very cute in their own way like a cat and I think not many people see this.
And these people really inspire me to do things, the knowledge INTJ people have is truely amazing.
And from my observation, it's weird people think INTJ's are like robot, yes just a look of 10 seconds might give you that impression, but just because the way they express their worries and carrying for other people is different doesn't mean they're..robots, they do have emotions, sure for INTJ, I feel like they don't really understand their emotions to the fullest? but that doesn't mean they don't have emotions. Emotions are hard to understand in the first place.
So I don't really agree with INTJ and INFP memes, I get it, but I feel like most of those are overly exaggerated.
Congrats on finding an INTJ! I've said this before and I'll continue to say this, INFP and INTJs are such an incredible pair. We're different but in a good way, there's always that curiousity in both our types that understanding that allows each type to grow to our own unique way. I enjoy some of the memes because I see it happening between the INFPs in my life and myself but yes, a lot of them are exaggerated. INFPs are way more scary than an INTJ IMO 🙃
Such a beautiful video! Nunca había escuchado a alguien hablar así sobre los INFP. Very helpful! INTJs are the best! I love you ❤️🔥
-INFP
Obrigado, we love you guys too ❤
I just gotta say i adore INTJs ❤
This video is great and you need to know im eating up these well put compliments 😂. cant wait to see more of your vids when i can.
Thank you 😊
Im infp, my bf, intj once said "one thing i hate the most about you is that you always downgraded yourself and i dont understand why. Youre great than anyone else ive ever met." So that point you said just hit right in the nails tbh😂 and as infp, i feel like the reason why we always downgraded ourselves are bcs.. i feel like there are people out there far more greater than us, so i dont wanna overshine other peoples talents i guess. Also i feel like im gonna disappoint people when they cant meet their expectation with my skills.
Consider the opposite of what's stopping you. You facing adversity and putting effort will directly and positively influence your partner. So if you're afraid of overshining someone, remember that you're making your boyfriend both proud and motivated when you do. Congrats on finding him and take care of him for me please 🙏
Thank you 🥺❤ -infp

Regarding your coming about not understanding why we as INFPs do not always expect the best when we put in the best it's because of how much we put in and how amazing our ideal really is we're afraid we'll be disappointed yet again and so we prepare for it. I can really only speak for myself but I know That's why I do it.
It sounds like such a tiring way to live life. I hope Te starts getting engaged with as early as possible so ya'll learn that failing is always part of the process 🙂
We fear failure, disappointmen and rejection. @justcallmejon22
Hope for the best. Plan for the worst.
You may never feel ecstatic, but you'll never be fully discouraged.
I think it's that Ne always 2nd guessing that high Fi. Sure, we may want something, but do we really want it? Can we really achieve it?
It can get heavy
I see that a lot in the INFPs in my life. I feel like a lot of you just need a little extra nudge and you'll find your way (if that was the intention) ✊
I love Infp's even my pfp explains this ~INTJ
I'm in tears ❤
Tears of joy, hopefully 🙃
I feel so seen and understood 🙏🏼🥰😊❤️ This is such a wonderful video. From an INFP 🙏🏼❣️🦋
❤❤
Oh thank you!! ❤ the man im dating is an intj and to hear im the "cutest" type means a lot. I think he likes me but im a huge feeler so im worried I'll overwhelm him if im not careful
Im gonna have to ask you questions about what hes thinking sometime or ill just watch more videos 😭
Take care of your INTJ for me please 🙏
6:20 😂 where did you get this meme? so exact. i once posted a joke i was so proud of and i only got 3 separate comments asking i was okay. i was okay; it just didn't read that way. 😅
I think I got it from Tumblr or somewhere 😂
INFP and intp are also a good blend combination
Every INTP I know has a good INFP friend that they both love and are annoyed. I think it's the Ti/Fi conflict but Ne kindredness 😅
@@justcallmejon22 BRUHHH U GOT THE POINT HEHHEHHEHHE 😭😂💅🏻
Nice. Indeed mature INFP can be a breath of fresh air in the middle of Se chaos and toxicity. But they are not the best for INTJ that seek growth with the respect to their Ni-Te. The INFP only a comfort place for me when I'm tired and invest some times on passing them quite a knowledge and wisdom, but in the end, I'd seek some like ENTJ or INFJ for further growth.
In addition, INFP who has OCD and anxiety and one that is too afraid of breaking the rule and being different kinda tires me. It's like being in a different dimension.
Well I'm used to such ISTP and ENTJ boldness and XNTP low Si in daily. That INFP only reminds me on how naive I used to be during childhood.
However, mature&healthy INFP with well developed functions are great.
I feel like anyone who is more mature is open to the idea of INTJs and growth 🙂
one of my best gal pals is an INFP
Hihi, I'm an infp ( f )!, i came here to understand my own sister ( INTJ) younger by 3 years, I care for her so much, get worried whether she'll doesn't get misunderstood by society due to reclusive and antisocial tendencies that keep people feet apart emotionally, to the point where i, an Fi myself was concerned, whenever i cared she thought that I'm being too "worrywart" , "going too emotional and self idealistic" about it, although i really understand her boundaries and resoect her, as her individuality makes her strong from potential attachment issues ! ( that i face a lot..) Sometimes i can't help but wonder that does she found me annoying or not? 💦
whether me asking how her day went and other topics to bond over, making her see videos that i think she might find funny, as to her these type of conversations are "too not worth her time talking about" 😔,Thus, i'm very glad to have stumbled upon this video, it made me feel so understood! (≧▽≦) I hope my sister also think just like you to your sister one day! 🌸
( I have so many things i want to express and describe about the things you've said, but I've already texted down a lot, xD 😔) oh no just realised just writing my genuine thoughts are elongating this-
On behalf of all INTJ siblings out there, Thank you for trying to understand your younger sister. It takes us a long time to start engaging with our emotions but that doesnt mean that we're not trying to understand them. Siblings are naturally supposed to act annoyed especially by older siblings but I assure you that you trying to be involved in her life means more to her than you will ever know. I'm in my mid 30s and I still love my older siblings dearly for how much love they showed when I was a young loner INTJ. Keep it up, she'll show her appreciation later in life when she's ready to engage her emotions ❤
@@justcallmejon22 oh dear me, your most welcome! 🌸(◍•ᴗ•◍) And trying to understand my sister is something I find and believe I should do, as she once yelled, "you don't understand a thing about me!", she doesn't like to open up, and has a mindset that I won't understand her anyways ( :,D)... honestly I do understand that from her point of view, she clearly struggles with trust issues, and lack of people she can truly see as "friends ".
Although yes, I do sense that she really does depends/ confides her emotions in me, when she's stressed or wronged in anyway, but not at all times..( I think just this much is enough for me now! 🌸) I believe she might feel like she's showing "vulnerability" from what I researched young intjs do that to protect themselves.
Haha as you said yourself , my sister is rather also a loner.. ( I hope she wasn't though 💦). I'm 17 years old this year, and she's just in her early teenager years, :,) dear lord, she's very prone to anger and glaring at my direction randomly as I pass by her... so I can only hope what you have said may come true one day! 😊
I genuinely appreciate your advice a lot! 🌸(´∪`*) ( Thank you for reading my ramblings haha, I hope you have a great day/ night out there! As your appreciation and advice sure has made my night here much lovelier! 🌼)
@Arin_yin I just want to be very clear that your job isn't to understand her but to be a safe space for her. She'll tell you how she feels when she's ready, because you should know as an Fi dom that it's a horrible feeling when people try to tell you how you're feeling when they're wrong. Just be there, that's all that matters.
@@justcallmejon22 it's just a selfish little wish of mine to understand her, as it'll help me to learn more on how to behave or ignore her at times when I should, so she could feel unbothered by my presence ( not ready for opening up).
And, I am clear about this though? I would be a fool to not know, as we're siblings who see each other as bestfriends , She's already trying to be self-reliant and I adore that about her, I just hope that at times she has someone who she can trust, be it be me or a friend. 🌸 I do know that she isn't bothered much by emotional factors like I am, I just hope that other than me she'll have someone else in her safe space as well. Even though we're close, I hope she starts to see the importance of friendships one day.
One of the most accurate videos about INFPs it actually made me tear up! 😅 ah well! 😅
I can see your soul 😁
You rock my world, babe. ❤
❤
I'd love to meet an INTJ like you someday 😊
You're an INFP, they should be attracted to you like a magnet 😉
You got yourself a follower! ~ XNFP
🙏
I love this so much thank you 🔥👌🏻🔥🙌🏻🔥
❤
Please sir, may I have some more compliments? I could listen to you talking about infps forever
😅
thats whats up
😂
As an INTJ, my friends are few in number, but all dear. ALL 3 OF THEM are INFPs, so you know I had to check this video out to figure out why? It's seems improbable...
Congrats on your INFPs! What seems improbable?
It's so accurate ☺
😁
my crush is an INFP and this is really true, as an INTJ myself
Good luck with your INFP crush 😘
Awe @JustcallmeJon I love this video 🎉🎉🎉❣️❣️❣️
Glad you enjoyed it 😁
I've noticed INFPs are the type I'm able to spot very easily. With the recent rise of VTubers, I noticed very quickly how many of them were INFP and which ones too. Not only that but INFPs are usually the type I can get along with easiest, provided I don't accidentally offend one with a badly thought-out joke. On that note, I both end up feeling very protective of INFPs but also _love_ teasing them and making fun of them, though not in a mean way (I don't know if it's always interpreted the correct way but it's never spiteful and always intended to be playful mocking since I do tend to like and even admire most INFPs. They're just too adorable to me). Also on the note of INFPs sticking up for me, I am friends with a couple and upon hearing things from my past, they were actually shocked and outraged and sort of tried looking out for me, which is odd because I'm really not used to it. Unfortunately where I live isn't fertile soil for INFPs (or really any intuitive type) so the INFPs that are born here tend to leave as soon as they can (I have an escape plan... and it's in motion, albeit slowly) so I really don't get to know any irl, besides maybe my sister who might be INFP.
I agree, INFPs are great! I also noticed that a lot of INFPs tend to express themselves through Vlogs or some sort of platform and those videos tend to be very Fi-Ne heavy. Good luck on your plan fellow INTJ, don't forget that you still reach the finish line going slowly ✊
@@justcallmejon22 I've noticed that too. And thanks. I think because of the stuff I alluded to that INFPs tend to take my side on, I've been in a severe bout of "Mama's Out" though for an extended period of time though that seems to be either ended or nearing the end.
Okay, now i want an intj friend hahah
Your Fi is an INTJ magnet, I'm sure you'll find one eventually 🙂
I'm an infp and I'm pretty sure that my friend is an intj considering I'm the person that he goes to for all of his problems and anxiety or just as a sounding board for his various endeavors, there's other reasons to
You're helping him more than he will ever be able to express. Please continue taking care of him 🙏
1 thing you mention about the pessimism so you where referring to finding a job and how the response to not getting it. the reason an infp responds with such dismissal is they never wanted the job. and another thing kinda important we love our darker sad fealings lol i know strange but sad stories songs memories make us feel good. its real interactions that matter to use we cant handle them for to long because the energy drain. most cant understand that reading people emotions constantly that you cant turn off all day is hard so hard. imagen going to a large gathering of any kind and hearing EVERY person think all at the same time but its not hearingg what they think its feeling what every singgle person is fealing. thats how we know instantly who narcissist's are. they are like a blank dead space to us. they feel creepy and dead. and just so you all know rocks have fealings to lol strange i know but we love nature because there fealings are strong and stable and able to trust mostly from nature we feal love and caring.
One of my high school crushes is an INTJ. One of my closest friends is an INTJ.
Happy to hear that you found your INTJs! INFPs are super easy to get along with so I understand the appeal 🙂
@@justcallmejon22 We definitely have really good synergy, especially in conversation. It flows very well. 3 years ago, when I reconnected with my crush, we spent 2 hours at a nearby park. It had been 15 years since high school, and the time between us was very therapeutic.
I'm an infj and I don't agree that we would not care about the person that walks away from the group and we wouldn't care. We care about everyone in the group, if one person is unhappy that does mess with the harmony of the group, so we will go after the person who feels left out because it will annoy the crap out of us, because the group is off without that person not being apart of it anymore.
I agree that I could've worded it better because it hindsight, it kinda does sound like I was talking smack about Fe. We know Fe cares but I also want to point out that your comment still refers to the tribe and what I mentioned in the video is that Fi is focused on the self. Both function cares but it's not for the same reason.
