Unpaid is the sad truth.. All these videos presenting our type and none of them explaining how the f* to use these gifts to earn a living..cause being highly sensitive and altruistic are disadvantages in a selfish capitalistic world..
Do other INFPs relate to this, whenever I meet new people they easily open up to me. They will literally tell me their deepest darkest secrets when I knew them for only a short amount of time.
Absolutely! I'm always the listener to everyone. xD To think what we could do with all the things we know is quite scary in a way or another but on the bright side I'm pretty sure that we're not interested into any kind of plotting but glad to be of help somehow.
As an INFP, I don't know if INFPs truly want to be understood. We have contradictions in that on one hand, we think we want to be understood but we wouldn't believe someone if they said they understand us completely, on the other hand, we don't want to be fully understood because it would mean the specialness and uniqueness isn't that unique if people are able to actually understand us. We are complex beings, we are!!

@@mellimii3471 Hah 😊 I am sure that you are really lovely person. Find the right people and they will love your complexity!!! Somebody with a curious mind-set would be happy for the challenge to know you 😊😊😊 But yeah, the compo is surely a challenge. But you know, every man wants to find that special woman into their lives. The one who is totally different than anybody else....well, here is when we step in. Special unique features in abundance 😁😁😁 The man can be totally challenged to understand us for rest if their lives hahhhaaa 😁😁😁 If that is any consolation....
And then you feel all gross because 4 other people came at you with the same energy so you’re walking around feeling feelings from 5 different people that don’t belong to you 😅 why am I absorbing everyone’s feelings 👿
Sometimes I wonder if it’s all real but I think it’s simply we pick up on people’s way of thinking pretty quickly so it like sticks to us. Our mind frame is pretty huge, very tolerant ❤️
Am I the only INFP who can't take compliments or more like can't believe when someone compliments me. I feel like they're just saying that just to make me feel good or are taunting me or want something from me and they don't really mean anything?
I feel like that too. Maybe it's because I know that I could've done something in a better way. Maybe this is the reason why I feel that those compliments are fake, even if it isn't the case all the time.
mocca coffee so does that make me a bad person ?? idk. I don’t think some people are good and even though I know it’s not possible to be fully evil I don’t want to look into the good side or even empathize with them.
I tried my whole life to understand myself and failed... I could not possibly believe that someone understands me just by listening to the words I say while I am not even capable of constructing as precise sentences with my mouth as I can within my head.
It blows my mind how many people there is that claims to be so precisely similar to me. Do you guys exist in real life or just on the internet cause damn where u at
Yes, I feel so relaxed in commenting in here, becauae finally I found my tribe! All very very lovely people. Love you all, where have you been all my life 💗💗💗💗
I replaced taking showers and only take baths now. Everyone will be ok with you to be 1 hour in the bathtub ;) (I have to admit that I sometimes need 2h) And you don't have to stand XD
I freaked out when saw "speaking in metaphors and parables" because that seems like the only way for me to communicate the feelings I keep within. In past situations, I would sit down and talk to someone about my feelings without giving analogies or stories. This results in "I don't understand what you are saying" and then I just feel like bleh.
So true, I always caught myself speaking in analogies But I'm not entirely sure how to explain a topic in detail without comparing it to something else
I am Infp and struggle with ADHD-PI. I think of it as walking through a darken room, bare foot, knowing there are Lego pieces struin everwhere. I am certain there will be pain and stumbling, and possibly blood. So, yes, I can relate.
"Left unchecked they may start to lose touch and withdrawing into hermit mode and it can take a great deal of energy to bring them back" As an INFP that has been in hermit mode since 2020....I feel personally attacked, lol.
@@farwizah4336 no, I'm from Germany and there is no official degree for Chinese Medicine here. Instead, you need to study western biomedicine to get a license to practice alternative medicine 😅 so I'm studying two medical systems rn
As an INFP, people always share their whole biographies and automatically trust me. Strangers become very surprised to find someone that genuely listens and helps. The other day, a woman was very lost, she couldn't find the bus station, and I literally walked with her for twenty minutes and then bought her a ticket. I would do this forever. I love helping and I hate the idea of imagining someone lost and cold in the middle of the street. But, BUT, as I can be the healer, I can be also the harmful. And this is what I hate about me. I'm veery patient, but I don't say when something bothers me. I bottle up everything, and I explode. When I explode, I wake up all your demons. And you are scared. And trust is totally gone.
I am an exhausted INFP who is an actual psychotherapist. It's so easy to exhaust ourselves by being idealistic to a cause and giving to it more than we are capable of, as a person. ☠️
The comment section is just us infps askin other infps about if we all have same experiences (we do) n talking about our own infp specific scenarioes that we all relate to. The support system i didnt know i needed
Take all the time you need. Coming out of our shell you realize just how loud the world is. So many people preoccupied by the most meaningless things: how they’re dressed, how others perceive them, they’re social status. It’s all just noise. Honestly, I don’t blame you for retreating just a bit and focusing on what truly matters - one’s peace of mind.
@@indigodragon0613 Perhaps you need to become more in tune to what speaks to your soul. For some getting out and being amongst nature is really healing and makes you feel more connected to something other than yourself. Perhaps a visit to an art gallery to go out and try to see things from another perspective will help. Sometimes even just a walk around the block helps.
i am an infp and my friends always find me to talk abt their problems… at first i was so grateful and happy that i could help them even a little but then i realized it was draining me as i cannot tell them my problems because i tend to keep it to myself and try to solve it on my own.
Not gonna lie when I'm by myself I literally get anxious and worried and feel helpless just thinking about the animal abuse that goes on every single day in the world and how I can't do anything to stop it
Same but add child abuse...I start planning out how to become a pedophile hunter but then spiral because I can't because I have family that depend on me and I wouldn't be good at hiding my identity and thus leave us all vulnerable to dangerous internet people
I am an INFP myself. I'm a proud Canadian. It happens to be that Canada has a rather large demographic of INFP's, as much as 15 percent! Can you believe? No wonder l feel so at home and at peace here! Great video. Beautiful artwork and narration
I just learned we are called INFP’s. I just thought I was a weirdo. It’s like I’m an emotional trauma magnet, even wound up with abused animals over the years. Like the Robin Hood of emotional misfits lol. How many times have people told me that looking at my eyes they feel as if I can see straight into their soul, and I can. It’s not as if I’m trying to, it just happens. People tend to cling to me, as if I can fix it, whatever they need fixing. My entire family and every one I know comes to me when they have tragic issues. Yes Im known to be able to always figure out a way but only because I never panic I just sit back and study the situation from all aspects knowing there is a solution you just have to find it. Therefore I tend to be reclusive living way way out in the country with my horses and animals. When we love someone death can’t even get in the way of us protecting them, and when we are “ done” with someone, we are “ done” period. We may forgive, but they will never be in our bubble again. The hard part is there seems to be extremely few on this earth I can reach out too. Tis a bit lonely.
I came here after watching a video that made INFP seem selfish. After watching that video I don't feel bad about being INFP. Thank you for putting the smile back on my face! 🌻
I think INFPs does not believe in RED TAGS on people. This is what makes us so unique 🤗 We tend to understand what are the most essential things in life. Even if we can’t understand ourselves sometimes. But I also think that if we have understood our lives even more, we will be able to help our inner soul in the most incredible and wonderful way ✨
Is this why people come up to me and tell me there whole life stories? I love it, I love people coming to me and opening up even if I’ve never met them. Giving, listening, helping make me feel completely fulfilled.
People always think it's impossible for me to seriously not care about "keeping up with the Joneses', or having the newest/best whatever. When someone has known me for many years, they're often like, "Dang, I thought it was impossible for a person to value spiritual matters and relationships SO much over anything material, but now I see, you really are like that! Ya weirdo! Haha".
@Mr Popo Not too sure what you're getting at, but yes, I've had at least 3 friends I can think of who have told me this nearly word for word. My husband has also told me he didn't realize it was possible for someone to love others so purely, and to be so disinterested in material things. I just thought it was nice to have finally found some people I could identify with (it sounds like all INFPs pretty much have this personality).
Hahhhaaa 😁 I have gathered friends who all share the same values of non-materialisticity and now I realise how very special that is! But yeah, now I can remember how my best friend was like: "So you really do not care about people's social status?" And I was a bit buzzed that it was even a question?! Hahhhaaa 😂😂😂
Life is a bunch of stuff that happened that we felt very strongly along the way. It’s all about the experiences. Some of them may actually happen outside our head!
I'm an INFP with social anxiety and trust me, it's a raging war. I take everything too personally, despise small talk and hate socializing, and everyone dumps all their problems on me like I don't have enough to deal with already.
That just in positive side, You don't know other side of INFP! We can open the Unforgivable Breaker's Ark or scream like Lord of the king dragon in infp self.🔥😡
I’m just ask as an INFP, have y’all ever just cried then someone walked in on you or almost so you run straight to the bathroom and shower while crying, cause that happened to me 2 times
think im like a cute dog who got kicked too many times.. all of the hippy dippy fairy traits have left me now and my heart has turned dark as spilled blood
I'm also like the kicked puppy who goes back for more. When it's all too much, you go deep inside and work on that trait. You will grow and flourish, eventually.
Its so funny how the universe works. My birth date, zodiac sign and desire/purpose numbers in life including this - INFP, pretty much resonates from one another. Its so freaky cool.
Go on hikes or outdoor stuff. Find love, or yeah a group of friends. It’s hard, but if you want out you gotta be brave. Which since your an INFP, you are. You just gotta walk through the door when your ready. Best of luck bud! :)
Maybe go to the shop and have a convo with people that work their if your brave enough. Maybe take some walks in the park or down the road. I know how hard it is to push yourself out of your comfort zone, ive been their myself) but youll come out of the "hermit mode" in time. All it takes is one small step. Hope this helps! Have a nice day! ♡
I find reading a lot helps. It helps satisfy your hermit ness but gives you a million ideas of things to experience which will help motivate you to go out.
I LOVE doing that!! Except sometimes I get frustrated reading because I'm trying to make my visual imagery look really expressive and have all kinds of emotions and scenesl!! But sometimes it doesn't end up happening and it ruins a lot for me. But either way, doing this is such an experience and I love it!! Brings me a lot of comfort and it's really nice. Guess it is an infp thing?
I'm an INFP however I'm actually an ambievert I show both introverted and extroverted qualities. I think the test thought I was introverted because I answered that I can spend a weekend alone. I could also spend it with a friend doesn't really matter.
I did do the test 3 times and one question out of 50 does not make the test go wrong. I tried other time to answer to questions differently in purpose and I got INFP anyway!!! So there is no escape hahhhaaa 😊😊😊
I am the same. The first time i took the test I came out as ENFP, the 2nd INFP. Just looked at ENFP traits and they talked about having a large social friend group; I don't. I'm quite reclusive and a bit of a hermit. But having said that, when I'm out and about and at work, I can be extrovert. As a child though i was definitely shy so I think I'm a natural introvert just trying to fit in to the world.
I’m an INFP, but I also like money and material gain. Not gonna lie. Because it allows me to buy books and coffee and feed my many dogs. But it’s hard making money the money that I deserve because I’m an INFP. Ahhhhhh, the struggle 😂
Omg, people hate it when I speak in metaphors and parables! But I can't help it, I think I have a teacher's soul so I'd rather make you conceptualize it yourself rather than tell you directly! :)
So true. We are always misunderstood by people. Our serenity is our refreshing and recharging energy. Once we aren't comfortable with someone we will walk away silently and vanish without replying. 😁
I took a test and found i am an INFP but the mediator type, so INFP-T. I did relate with quite a few of these things and found the video really informative and interesting, so thank you!!
I love wrapping gifts/making gifts/buying things for other people so much, more than for myself ♥️ greets from the ambivert highlysensitive INFP Girl ♥️♥️
This is trippy! I took the test 4 times. I wanted to make sure I was doing it right, and I got the same results every time. INFP. This video described everything about me. Everything! I'm also a writer. I've written dozens of novels and some anthologies, and I don't know how many short stories. I haven't published anything yet, on account of anxiety. I have been alone for the last 6 months and I have kept my distance from people. I don't like people, lol. I can't believe how much it got right. Trippy!
You should publish your work. Would love to be one of your readers. I'm an INFP also and I'm interested in writing and reading stories as well. Wanna learn from fellow INFP.
Is it just me as an infp who feels energy? Like i can tell if a situation has turned sour or the mood has gone etc. Or if someone is in any mood i can usually detect it. N with things like events i get bad or good energy from it overwhelmingly sometimes like if my favourite boy grp is had a recent music video release n i felt this overwhelming energy that they were gonna dominate n it made me panicky so i dipped for a bit. N now they have done incredibly well. Idk just an example but yh does anyone else feel like that
I'm an infp and feel energy of places a lot like if a place is depressing or positive or so and so without even thinking about it, it just comes naturally
Omg I’ve been drawn into hermit mode 😱! All of this somehow heavily resonates lmao. I’ve been trying to get out of it, but it is difficult... I go to work but then I just love hanging out with just my cat and dog. But if I’m ever going to meet someone, I need to get out of my shell lol
I don’t know if it’s just me but, when reading novels or fanfics, I really like the angst parts cause it really shows who the character is in their vulnerable state.
Yes!! I ADORE fictional angst. There's so much emotion to it and It makes everything so interesting and conjuring up the scene in my head for it is extremely fun There's just so much emotions in good angst, and I'm LIVING for it!!
I totally relate to the emotional and moral connection with my work while seeking harmony. I am a music teacher in a school with students that struggle with trauma and behaviors… I love where I work and what I do. ❤ It feels so good to help students and teachers find their best selves and encourage al
As being an INFP I love this comment section, and I find it much better than reading comments of people who have the same birthday as mine. I am gonna always check these comments❤ I love you guys
I have an INFP in my classroom. I think that as an INFP myself, I've never met another one. I'm not attracted to him romantically, but I feel so... I don't even know... powerful, energized and energetically "clean" after talking to him. I feel truly inspired. And then I meditate: "do others feel the same after talking to me? Is it that satisfying?" and I love me and I love him. I don't know how to express it. It's a really soft love I feel for him. We're friends but not best friends, we don't even talk that much, but when we talk, I feel something that I can't experience with anyone else. It's not admiration, it's not romantic attraction, it's not obsession. It's just inspiration, calmness and spirituallity.
One of the most genuine and sincere personality types, despite all their flaws, insecurity issues and problems. They stand out for their authenticity, morals and pure heartedness.
Well everything checks except the romantic part. Extremely romantic situations actually make me a little uncomfortable and I definitely don't idolize my husband...who is in fact much more romantic than me.
I don't have much friends because I'm only friends with people that i know it is safe to share my thoughts with.But it is hard finding them in the first place if I have to make the first move.If I dont feel cofortable being myself with someone then I won't hang out with them. Im not going around trying to be friends with everyone I meet,if I trust them then I am willing to talk to them,and then I start to open out of my shell. and I will build big relationship with that person, giving the feeling that I like them.But really that person is just special to me and I know i can be comfortable with them .I feel like I could be myself and they feel that they could trust me. I have a few friends like those that I care for and hope to be close with them for my whole life.there is so much I want to put but I feel like I'm on a tangent so ill stop. Sorry if I don't make much sense I was just speaking straight from my mind.
I understand you. I never cared about making friends either. It’s very hard for me to let anyone in. I think it’s more practical to have a small amount of ppl who truly knows me than a bunch of ppl who knows me on the surface
Wow! I've wanted to speak at least a couple of other languages, but, alas, never did. Are you a musician? or have photographic memory? 7 is really a lot! Is it part of your career? Very cool regardless! :)
@@kittmarie8285 No, I'm not a musician, nor do I have a photographic memory. I'm a 16 year old high school student. Ever since childhood I was always fascinated by how people spoke different languages and so my goal ever since was to at least speak up to 20 languages. How many do you speak?
i remember how my ex messaged in the middle of the night not because he wants me back but because he was having sad thoughts and wants to open up to me. and hey here i am willing to listen not because i still want him but i really am willing to listen huhu despite of being not in really good terms haahahahah
Sir, miss / just get rid of anyone who doesn't deserve you it is indeed hard to lose people but i promise it is way easier to just get rid of them rather than getting minipulated
Well.. um.. am I still an INFP if I wanna be rich and have things? Like Channel or a big house and all that stuff? Also, is that selfish? And ofc, i dun really think that material is all there is. I just like to have stuff because the things I want are nice and like.. um..idk.
I mean, as an infp I think it is a little selfish because why have a big house for yourself, when it could house a family, while there are so many living on the streets... it just feels wrong I guess. the thousands you spend for a little bag you could change a homeless persons life. In my eyes there’s an appropriate limit to how much money should be spent on things. Like doc martins are usually 100$.. and to me are worth it because you can get YEARS out of those boots! 2000$ for a bag?? I dunno, that could pay someone’s monthly rent honestly, and for what, a designer name? If that name wasn’t on the bag.. would you even want it anymore? What’s the point?
It is very INFP to surround yourself with a comfortable things!!! I am sure that you like to have all those toys for their usefulness sake more than of the status that they give to you. It is lovely to have your own home where to hermit properly with comfortable items 😀 And some of us INFP do also go to work and have normal jobs and "normal" life dreams. It is all in more of a spectrum that your basic personality shows in you.
I think culture is a big influence of whether we want material things, and desire for safety and security can also lead to materialism. I found that pursuing altruistic spiritual ideals or living a life of extreme unselfishness, puts me in unsafe situations.
I had to stop in the middle of the video because I was so excited relating to so many people and talking about how I feel (Finally!) that I started imagining about my experiences and how it made them me (which made me stop the video, and repeat it again)
Can one be a socially confident and very assertive INFP? Or am I a more chilled out, less loud ENFP? I can never choose between the 2 lmao Edit: could you please do a new ENFP one?? Your last ENFP video is from 4 years ago :(
Yes! You have basic type, but that is not your destiny written in stars! You can learn new skills, become more extrovert (it is a spectrum anyway) and evolve! Which we are all about anyway. I am mistaken for extrovert in regularly. Because when I step out of my house, I start radiating 😊 Then I come back home and don't leave it before next week 😂
I also type myself as an ENFP, yet this video, describing INFP traits, fits me to a T. I think I'm an unusually introverted ENFP . Probably a deeper dive, comparing the dislikes/shadow side of both types, will bring clarity. Thanks for the comments and video.
Even tho I draw/paint, enjoy poetry, love the art of translation (french to English, biblical hebrew to English, etc) LIVE for finding/making metaphors, I still type as an ENFP. ???
Omg i got so depressed at my last job because i felt no moral or emotional connection to the work. we really have to work in some type of humanities jobs or a job dealing with the bigger picture.
Well this is life and you gotta get ok with it or you willnot succeed however jobs aren't meant to be a place were you enjoy yourself but if you find any friends well,, that is two on one
Maybe stop thinking about your own emotions opinions and feelings and think about objective logic, subjective logic or other peoples feelings and opinions
Just like this one meme said, INFPs are unpaid therapists that need a therapist themselves.
I actually have a therapist, to sort out the big problems.
Unpaid is the sad truth.. All these videos presenting our type and none of them explaining how the f* to use these gifts to earn a living..cause being highly sensitive and altruistic are disadvantages in a selfish capitalistic world..

Yes , Exactly 😭, I always contradict myself with that . I want to be understood but I feel like if I was it would take away my uniqueness !!!!
Exactly 😂
Defo we like our inner selves to be private.
Damn we really are complex 😂
I would probably be terrified in that scenario. I am a unique, unknowable unicorn! 🦄
I can confirm that reading as an infp is amazing because the visual representation I create is **mwuah**
We are sure it is. Love this comment.

it is more than tiring. It is a curse. But a blessing for others when in touch with a INFP/INFJ
FOR REAL THO
I'm a infp and I sense people's feelings before they even realized it themselves IT'S SO EXHAUSTING. I'm like why are you not feeling your feelings???
Ughhhhh the accuracy. It's so frustrating. It sometimes feels like living in a different dimension.
And then you feel all gross because 4 other people came at you with the same energy so you’re walking around feeling feelings from 5 different people that don’t belong to you 😅 why am I absorbing everyone’s feelings 👿
accurate asf
Sometimes I wonder if it’s all real but I think it’s simply we pick up on people’s way of thinking pretty quickly so it like sticks to us. Our mind frame is pretty huge, very tolerant ❤️

Am I the only INFP who can't take compliments or more like can't believe when someone compliments me. I feel like they're just saying that just to make me feel good or are taunting me or want something from me and they don't really mean anything?
Finally!! I felt the same way too! I always or maybe despise compliments too much
I feel like that too. Maybe it's because I know that I could've done something in a better way. Maybe this is the reason why I feel that those compliments are fake, even if it isn't the case all the time.
Totally completely...like when someone say he loves me... i am like why? Why do he loves me?
Relatable but I'm sure a lot of them are true
same!
Sometimes I look for the bad in people. it helps me to get detached of them !
omg....ive always wondered why i do that. You explained it perfectly in just two sentences.
mocca coffee so does that make me a bad person ?? idk. I don’t think some people are good and even though I know it’s not possible to be fully evil I don’t want to look into the good side or even empathize with them.
This is how you end up dying alone
JadedGems We inevitably die alone, with or without people in our lives.
@@R2disco A good complement to INFP is ESTJ. It's not that hard to spot a ESTJ hahaha

People always ask me why I take such long showers.....
YES. Though I do this to feel less lonely? Uk with the thoughts in my head n shit
I replaced taking showers and only take baths now.
Everyone will be ok with you to be 1 hour in the bathtub ;)
(I have to admit that I sometimes need 2h)
And you don't have to stand XD
Hahhhhaaaahhhaaa 😂😂😂😂 I love these comments 😂 My shower secrets revealed!
Relatable
I'll be honest. I'm here because i needed some appreciation
And you are very appreciated! :)
I freaked out when saw "speaking in metaphors and parables" because that seems like the only way for me to communicate the feelings I keep within. In past situations, I would sit down and talk to someone about my feelings without giving analogies or stories. This results in "I don't understand what you are saying" and then I just feel like bleh.
I’ll bet Jesus was an I NFP
YES. The ones that get or/and appreciates our metaphors are KEEPERS.
So true, I always caught myself speaking in analogies
But I'm not entirely sure how to explain a topic in detail without comparing it to something else
damn,this is so true :/
I am Infp and struggle with ADHD-PI. I think of it as walking through a darken room, bare foot, knowing there are Lego pieces struin everwhere. I am certain there will be pain and stumbling, and possibly blood. So, yes, I can relate.
"Taking things too personally" .... is just so true.
Why am i hurting myself like that :')
Yes! I am learning that Other People have Other Reasons to get upset than me!
What a relief! It is not all about me!
"Left unchecked they may start to lose touch and withdrawing into hermit mode and it can take a great deal of energy to bring them back"
As an INFP that has been in hermit mode since 2020....I feel personally attacked, lol.
Solitudes all good my friend
Hermit mode activated since 2015 hahhhaaa 😂😂😂😂
Ify 😂 thats what i am in rn, hermit mode for the passed two months 😂
Well if you are in that mode for a year that means both of us have no real friends to get us outside...
I feel like hermit mode helps me get my energy back 😌
I'm an INFP and I'm going to be a Chinese Medicine practitioner... an actual healer 😌
you mean you're gonna take Doctor of Oriental Medicine (DOM)
?
@@farwizah4336 no, I'm from Germany and there is no official degree for Chinese Medicine here. Instead, you need to study western biomedicine to get a license to practice alternative medicine 😅 so I'm studying two medical systems rn
What about a shaman?
Yes! I plan to become a naturopath. I learn it as a hobby already so I figured it’s probably my calling💕
As an INFP, people always share their whole biographies and automatically trust me. Strangers become very surprised to find someone that genuely listens and helps. The other day, a woman was very lost, she couldn't find the bus station, and I literally walked with her for twenty minutes and then bought her a ticket. I would do this forever. I love helping and I hate the idea of imagining someone lost and cold in the middle of the street. But, BUT, as I can be the healer, I can be also the harmful. And this is what I hate about me. I'm veery patient, but I don't say when something bothers me. I bottle up everything, and I explode. When I explode, I wake up all your demons. And you are scared. And trust is totally gone.
🫂 bright side
I am an exhausted INFP who is an actual psychotherapist. It's so easy to exhaust ourselves by being idealistic to a cause and giving to it more than we are capable of, as a person. ☠️
The comment section is just us infps askin other infps about if we all have same experiences (we do) n talking about our own infp specific scenarioes that we all relate to. The support system i didnt know i needed
Been in hermit mode for years. Not sure I'll ever get out. Doesn't seem worth it tbh.
Yeah
I agree completely!
Take all the time you need. Coming out of our shell you realize just how loud the world is. So many people preoccupied by the most meaningless things: how they’re dressed, how others perceive them, they’re social status. It’s all just noise. Honestly, I don’t blame you for retreating just a bit and focusing on what truly matters - one’s peace of mind.
@@jesso.4971 I've been this way for years and I feel like I'm getting worse. Like my soul is getting torn from my body.
@@indigodragon0613 Perhaps you need to become more in tune to what speaks to your soul. For some getting out and being amongst nature is really healing and makes you feel more connected to something other than yourself. Perhaps a visit to an art gallery to go out and try to see things from another perspective will help. Sometimes even just a walk around the block helps.
i am an infp and my friends always find me to talk abt their problems… at first i was so grateful and happy that i could help them even a little but then i realized it was draining me as i cannot tell them my problems because i tend to keep it to myself and try to solve it on my own.
Exactly I don’t have friends, I got clients.
1:31 *dog starts whining*
*me, an INFP*: Oh my gosh, I think I'm gonna cry
Not gonna lie when I'm by myself I literally get anxious and worried and feel helpless just thinking about the animal abuse that goes on every single day in the world and how I can't do anything to stop it
Omg same! I wish I could escape my own mind, if not the entire world 😩
same! it's crazy how your comment is so relatable. When I think about the animal abuse I feel so depressed and powerless...
You can work on Animal Protection or Vet or Medioambiental Work
Same but add child abuse...I start planning out how to become a pedophile hunter but then spiral because I can't because I have family that depend on me and I wouldn't be good at hiding my identity and thus leave us all vulnerable to dangerous internet people
Do you have the ability to foster animals? Check with your local shelter, they are always happy to have a helping hand!.
I am an INFP myself. I'm a proud Canadian. It happens to be that Canada has a rather large demographic of INFP's, as much as 15 percent! Can you believe? No wonder l feel so at home and at peace here!
Great video. Beautiful artwork and narration
I want to move 2 Canada
Not the Canadian I was engaged to... or the ones I met.. it was quite difficult for me to relate there. But I’m so happy for you!!!
Canada is perfect for hermit mode. 😊
Canadian INFP as well...ya I agree
I want to live there now
I just learned we are called INFP’s. I just thought I was a weirdo. It’s like I’m an emotional trauma magnet, even wound up with abused animals over the years. Like the Robin Hood of emotional misfits lol. How many times have people told me that looking at my eyes they feel as if I can see straight into their soul, and I can. It’s not as if I’m trying to, it just happens. People tend to cling to me, as if I can fix it, whatever they need fixing. My entire family and every one I know comes to me when they have tragic issues. Yes Im known to be able to always figure out a way but only because I never panic I just sit back and study the situation from all aspects knowing there is a solution you just have to find it. Therefore I tend to be reclusive living way way out in the country with my horses and animals. When we love someone death can’t even get in the way of us protecting them, and when we are “ done” with someone, we are “ done” period. We may forgive, but they will never be in our bubble again. The hard part is there seems to be extremely few on this earth I can reach out too. Tis a bit lonely.
I came here after watching a video that made INFP seem selfish. After watching that video I don't feel bad about being INFP. Thank you for putting the smile back on my face! 🌻
That's what inspires us to keep doing this.
I think INFPs does not believe in RED TAGS on people. This is what makes us so unique 🤗 We tend to understand what are the most essential things in life. Even if we can’t understand ourselves sometimes. But I also think that if we have understood our lives even more, we will be able to help our inner soul in the most incredible and wonderful way ✨
Is this why people come up to me and tell me there whole life stories? I love it, I love people coming to me and opening up even if I’ve never met them.
Giving, listening, helping make me feel completely fulfilled.
I thought the INFP's are known as mediators and not healers
Add idealists to that list 😄 I've heard all 3
There are different colloquial names
We had an expression of: "artist/painter of the horizons" in Finland. That is pretty much a correct definition as well.
And daydreamers ..😂
People always think it's impossible for me to seriously not care about "keeping up with the Joneses', or having the newest/best whatever. When someone has known me for many years, they're often like, "Dang, I thought it was impossible for a person to value spiritual matters and relationships SO much over anything material, but now I see, you really are like that! Ya weirdo! Haha".
@Mr Popo
Not too sure what you're getting at, but yes, I've had at least 3 friends I can think of who have told me this nearly word for word. My husband has also told me he didn't realize it was possible for someone to love others so purely, and to be so disinterested in material things. I just thought it was nice to have finally found some people I could identify with (it sounds like all INFPs pretty much have this personality).
Hahhhaaa 😁 I have gathered friends who all share the same values of non-materialisticity and now I realise how very special that is!
But yeah, now I can remember how my best friend was like: "So you really do not care about people's social status?" And I was a bit buzzed that it was even a question?! Hahhhaaa 😂😂😂
Life is a bunch of stuff that happened that we felt very strongly along the way. It’s all about the experiences. Some of them may actually happen outside our head!
I'm an INFP with social anxiety and trust me, it's a raging war. I take everything too personally, despise small talk and hate socializing, and everyone dumps all their problems on me like I don't have enough to deal with already.
That just in positive side, You don't know other side of INFP! We can open the Unforgivable Breaker's Ark or scream like Lord of the king dragon in infp self.🔥😡
Yessss 💫🔥
yes I speak in parables. I am bilingual and was learning Chinese as a 3rda language. I am also a massage therapist. This is spot on.
I’m just ask as an INFP, have y’all ever just cried then someone walked in on you or almost so you run straight to the bathroom and shower while crying, cause that happened to me 2 times
think im like a cute dog who got kicked too many times.. all of the hippy dippy fairy traits have left me now and my heart has turned dark as spilled blood
I'm also like the kicked puppy who goes back for more. When it's all too much, you go deep inside and work on that trait. You will grow and flourish, eventually.
Its so funny how the universe works. My birth date, zodiac sign and desire/purpose numbers in life including this - INFP, pretty much resonates from one another. Its so freaky cool.
Can I just say;
Holy moly this video's graphics are absolutely stunning 💖
What if you're in hermit mode. any ideas to help get out?
Go on hikes or outdoor stuff. Find love, or yeah a group of friends. It’s hard, but if you want out you gotta be brave.
Which since your an INFP, you are. You just gotta walk through the door when your ready.
Best of luck bud! :)
Maybe go to the shop and have a convo with people that work their if your brave enough. Maybe take some walks in the park or down the road. I know how hard it is to push yourself out of your comfort zone, ive been their myself) but youll come out of the "hermit mode" in time. All it takes is one small step. Hope this helps! Have a nice day! ♡
I feel ya... *sigh*
maybe go out if you can, and find some peaceful places. connecting with natural surroundings helps too.
I find reading a lot helps. It helps satisfy your hermit ness but gives you a million ideas of things to experience which will help motivate you to go out.
What???! I was fluent at one time in 7 languages. Not at once, but each or two at a time when I needed them over the years
as an infp , i love reading bc i can imagine what happens and how each characters look when they're doing stuff etc etc . is it like an infp thing ?
Totally
I LOVE doing that!! Except sometimes I get frustrated reading because I'm trying to make my visual imagery look really expressive and have all kinds of emotions and scenesl!! But sometimes it doesn't end up happening and it ruins a lot for me. But either way, doing this is such an experience and I love it!! Brings me a lot of comfort and it's really nice. Guess it is an infp thing?
Can relate.
I'm an INFP however I'm actually an ambievert I show both introverted and extroverted qualities. I think the test thought I was introverted because I answered that I can spend a weekend alone. I could also spend it with a friend doesn't really matter.
I did do the test 3 times and one question out of 50 does not make the test go wrong. I tried other time to answer to questions differently in purpose and I got INFP anyway!!! So there is no escape hahhhaaa 😊😊😊
I can be very sociable and can connect people to each other, but I don't enjoy small talk and I process information more fully by myself. Anyone else?
I am the same. The first time i took the test I came out as ENFP, the 2nd INFP. Just looked at ENFP traits and they talked about having a large social friend group; I don't. I'm quite reclusive and a bit of a hermit. But having said that, when I'm out and about and at work, I can be extrovert. As a child though i was definitely shy so I think I'm a natural introvert just trying to fit in to the world.
I’m an INFP, but I also like money and material gain. Not gonna lie. Because it allows me to buy books and coffee and feed my many dogs. But it’s hard making money the money that I deserve because I’m an INFP. Ahhhhhh, the struggle 😂
Well evreyone wants material gain but will you value the money over your morals that is the question
Welcome to life
Omg, people hate it when I speak in metaphors and parables! But I can't help it, I think I have a teacher's soul so I'd rather make you conceptualize it yourself rather than tell you directly! :)
That "Hermit Mode" part was the absolute biggest callout!!
So true. We are always misunderstood by people. Our serenity is our refreshing and recharging energy. Once we aren't comfortable with someone we will walk away silently and vanish without replying. 😁
It's amazing to me how this can be so accurate!!
I took a test and found i am an INFP but the mediator type, so INFP-T. I did relate with quite a few of these things and found the video really informative and interesting, so thank you!!
I dont understand my self
furu ki that makes two of us.
Karen Callurmanager that makes three of us
no one does
@@george53691 so true
Gotta give you a high five 'cuz same.
I love wrapping gifts/making gifts/buying things for other people so much, more than for myself ♥️ greets from the ambivert highlysensitive INFP Girl ♥️♥️
This is trippy! I took the test 4 times. I wanted to make sure I was doing it right, and I got the same results every time. INFP. This video described everything about me. Everything! I'm also a writer. I've written dozens of novels and some anthologies, and I don't know how many short stories. I haven't published anything yet, on account of anxiety. I have been alone for the last 6 months and I have kept my distance from people. I don't like people, lol. I can't believe how much it got right. Trippy!
You should publish your work. Would love to be one of your readers. I'm an INFP also and I'm interested in writing and reading stories as well. Wanna learn from fellow INFP.
Taking the test 4x proves in itself you’re an INFP 😂 Welcome home! 💕
INFPs repeat after me : "I am growing my healthy boundaries and compassionate accountability habits" :)
Or don't, it's a suggestion not a command.
lol!
I love speaking with metaphors! but i have no one to speak to :(
Me 2 lol to our journals
My name is asifa and the meaning of my name is medicine or you can say the healer
And my personality is infp. Such a great name for me lol
Beautiful name! May I ask what language that is:-)?
Beautiful name!!! 💗
What a beautiful name!
Yes beautiful name that literally comes into check with your inner self
Is it just me as an infp who feels energy? Like i can tell if a situation has turned sour or the mood has gone etc. Or if someone is in any mood i can usually detect it. N with things like events i get bad or good energy from it overwhelmingly sometimes like if my favourite boy grp is had a recent music video release n i felt this overwhelming energy that they were gonna dominate n it made me panicky so i dipped for a bit. N now they have done incredibly well. Idk just an example but yh does anyone else feel like that
I'm an infp and feel energy of places a lot like if a place is depressing or positive or so and so without even thinking about it, it just comes naturally
An infp and cizinie 😍
Duuh why no ENFJ I expected some of them to be here 😅
I'm an INFP
I already love this video because it was posted on my birthday LOL
Omg I’ve been drawn into hermit mode 😱! All of this somehow heavily resonates lmao. I’ve been trying to get out of it, but it is difficult... I go to work but then I just love hanging out with just my cat and dog. But if I’m ever going to meet someone, I need to get out of my shell lol
SAME 🙃😁 *We, Can Do It!
This was so spot on ! It's almost scary
I don’t know if it’s just me but, when reading novels or fanfics, I really like the angst parts cause it really shows who the character is in their vulnerable state.
Yes!! I ADORE fictional angst. There's so much emotion to it and It makes everything so interesting and conjuring up the scene in my head for it is extremely fun There's just so much emotions in good angst, and I'm LIVING for it!!
I totally relate to the emotional and moral connection with my work while seeking harmony.
I am a music teacher in a school with students that struggle with trauma and behaviors…
I love where I work and what I do. ❤
It feels so good to help students and teachers find their best selves and encourage al
I'm an INFP, and I have a Healer. My Jesus, My Lord and Savior 🤍
Well believe in whatever you like i am an ENFJ and i have ALLAH my lord my guider my helper and the most one I love in this whole exsisitance
@@Selim_OsmanliI'm INFP or INTP and me too
As being an INFP I love this comment section, and I find it much better than reading comments of people who have the same birthday as mine.
I am gonna always check these comments❤
I love you guys
I now two of these people, totally accurate.
I have an INFP in my classroom. I think that as an INFP myself, I've never met another one. I'm not attracted to him romantically, but I feel so... I don't even know... powerful, energized and energetically "clean" after talking to him. I feel truly inspired. And then I meditate: "do others feel the same after talking to me? Is it that satisfying?" and I love me and I love him. I don't know how to express it. It's a really soft love I feel for him. We're friends but not best friends, we don't even talk that much, but when we talk, I feel something that I can't experience with anyone else. It's not admiration, it's not romantic attraction, it's not obsession. It's just inspiration, calmness and spirituallity.
i love the last sentence, and also the word used there in describing our souls: 'radiating'.^^)*
One of the most genuine and sincere personality types, despite all their flaws, insecurity issues and problems. They stand out for their authenticity, morals and pure heartedness.
Love it! Explained well and the animation is so nice😍
Very happy to see the video
I'm an INFP
Great work on visual representation!!
0:55 literally been doing that ever since I've somehow acquired friends, less so before
Well everything checks except the romantic part. Extremely romantic situations actually make me a little uncomfortable and I definitely don't idolize my husband...who is in fact much more romantic than me.
Romance is icky.
I don't like the word 'romantic' actually. It sounds soppy. What I yearn for is soul connection, not 'romance.'
I don't have much friends because I'm only friends with people that i know it is safe to share my thoughts with.But it is hard finding them in the first place if I have to make the first move.If I dont feel cofortable being myself with someone then I won't hang out with them. Im not going around trying to be friends with everyone I meet,if I trust them then I am willing to talk to them,and then I start to open out of my shell. and I will build big relationship with that person, giving the feeling that I like them.But really that person is just special to me and I know i can be comfortable with them .I feel like I could be myself and they feel that they could trust me. I have a few friends like those that I care for and hope to be close with them for my whole life.there is so much I want to put but I feel like I'm on a tangent so ill stop.
Sorry if I don't make much sense I was just speaking straight from my mind.
I understand you. I never cared about making friends either. It’s very hard for me to let anyone in. I think it’s more practical to have a small amount of ppl who truly knows me than a bunch of ppl who knows me on the surface
"Taking things too personally..."
And i took that personally
Beautiful, thanks :)
As an INFP, it's so accurate that some of us are multilingual. I speak 7 languages.
Wow! I've wanted to speak at least a couple of other languages, but, alas, never did. Are you a musician? or have photographic memory? 7 is really a lot! Is it part of your career? Very cool regardless! :)
@@kittmarie8285 No, I'm not a musician, nor do I have a photographic memory. I'm a 16 year old high school student. Ever since childhood I was always fascinated by how people spoke different languages and so my goal ever since was to at least speak up to 20 languages. How many do you speak?
Absolutely true about me!
i remember how my ex messaged in the middle of the night not because he wants me back but because he was having sad thoughts and wants to open up to me. and hey here i am willing to listen not because i still want him but i really am willing to listen huhu despite of being not in really good terms haahahahah
As an INFP I hate how I attract toxic people.
Sir, miss / just get rid of anyone who doesn't deserve you it is indeed hard to lose people but i promise it is way easier to just get rid of them rather than getting minipulated
stay away from those people , they are bad for you, leave them straight away
This is the best description of INFP's I found so far! Thank you very much!
I become more productive when I'm in my hermit mode lol.
warxch out. overproducing is a trap.
slow down. and go to nature.
this video made me feel so understood
Awsome 3 minutes :)
Wow! This is sooo spot on!!!
Well.. um.. am I still an INFP if I wanna be rich and have things? Like Channel or a big house and all that stuff? Also, is that selfish? And ofc, i dun really think that material is all there is. I just like to have stuff because the things I want are nice and like.. um..idk.
I mean, as an infp I think it is a little selfish because why have a big house for yourself, when it could house a family, while there are so many living on the streets... it just feels wrong I guess. the thousands you spend for a little bag you could change a homeless persons life. In my eyes there’s an appropriate limit to how much money should be spent on things. Like doc martins are usually 100$.. and to me are worth it because you can get YEARS out of those boots! 2000$ for a bag?? I dunno, that could pay someone’s monthly rent honestly, and for what, a designer name? If that name wasn’t on the bag.. would you even want it anymore? What’s the point?
It is very INFP to surround yourself with a comfortable things!!! I am sure that you like to have all those toys for their usefulness sake more than of the status that they give to you. It is lovely to have your own home where to hermit properly with comfortable items 😀 And some of us INFP do also go to work and have normal jobs and "normal" life dreams. It is all in more of a spectrum that your basic personality shows in you.
I think culture is a big influence of whether we want material things, and desire for safety and security can also lead to materialism. I found that pursuing altruistic spiritual ideals or living a life of extreme unselfishness, puts me in unsafe situations.
Gratefulness Beautiful Joyfulness Magical Awareness ✨ 💛 Magical Miracles Beautiful Divine Beings ✨
I'm an HSP and an INFP-T :)
me too, and we have the same name haha
@@despres380 That tells something, sending you some good vibes from Canada xo
I had to stop in the middle of the video because I was so excited relating to so many people and talking about how I feel (Finally!) that I started imagining about my experiences and how it made them me (which made me stop the video, and repeat it again)
Can one be a socially confident and very assertive INFP? Or am I a more chilled out, less loud ENFP? I can never choose between the 2 lmao
Edit: could you please do a new ENFP one?? Your last ENFP video is from 4 years ago :(
Its definitely possible. Infp is a personality type, it's your default but it is possible to learn to be louder or more assertive or even more quiet.
Yes! You have basic type, but that is not your destiny written in stars! You can learn new skills, become more extrovert (it is a spectrum anyway) and evolve! Which we are all about anyway. I am mistaken for extrovert in regularly. Because when I step out of my house, I start radiating 😊 Then I come back home and don't leave it before next week 😂
I also type myself as an ENFP, yet this video, describing INFP traits, fits me to a T. I think I'm an unusually introverted ENFP . Probably a deeper dive, comparing the dislikes/shadow side of both types, will bring clarity. Thanks for the comments and video.
What a great personality type!
do yall paint, write poetry, and is fascinated with psychology?
Even tho I draw/paint, enjoy poetry, love the art of translation (french to English, biblical hebrew to English, etc) LIVE for finding/making metaphors, I still type as an ENFP. ???
I write poetry in world hardest language Arabic wich I am great at it and I am also studying phycologey
Omg i got so depressed at my last job because i felt no moral or emotional connection to the work. we really have to work in some type of humanities jobs or a job dealing with the bigger picture.
Well this is life and you gotta get ok with it or you willnot succeed however jobs aren't meant to be a place were you enjoy yourself but if you find any friends well,, that is two on one
That's the life of a Si dom and Si aux 😞
It makes me really appreciate them
Why do I hear all these nice things but when i connect them with myself i hear only "weak, weak, weak..."?
Probably because you are an INFP-J and very judgemental towards yourself.
Love yourself more.
It needs to be learned.
I feel like expressing such a thing indicates the opposite. You are moving forward, on the way. Proud of you. Not kidding
Okay so I thought that I was an INFP for the longest time, but after seeing this video I believe I finally have confirmation that I’m more ENFP
Now teach us how to stop being one 😂
Get to know some friends and value your mind over your emotions
Maybe stop thinking about your own emotions opinions and feelings and think about objective logic, subjective logic or other peoples feelings and opinions
Relatable. Can know how people feel without a word spoken.
All other personalities: cool stuff and big brain hours all the time
INFP: even the "good" part is not that good
(I'm INFP)
The other personalities have difficulties too you know
Everything spot on 7 December thank you
