It's not easy being an INFP, because we don't express our feelings and pain and we often get missunderstood. We are only 4% of the planet and that's why I don't know anyone like me.

You need to use that intuition you have as an INFP and take some chances. Even though it might be hard to get out of the comfortzone, you need to to do it. Otherwise you will never find anything worth taking a chance for. We do spend alot of time at home pondering over what to do and where to go, but if those considerations never is put to the test, you will simply never find out if that thing you thought about was actually the right thing to do. You need to apply for that nutrition education and try it out. You can always chance direction. The true failure in life is not failing itself.

AllergicRants I know what can help you focus . I am an INFP. READ POETRY, READ creative spiritual tracts that you found in the library. Try to immerse yourself in these two fields. Read short biographies that has interesting phrasing that you find in the library. I also advise to take up " swimming classes " . Try it all INfPs do not lose anything doing these things I am sure your going to DISCOVER yourself and your INFPNESS doing these things!! Try it.

Does anybody else feel, as an INFP, that you get flung in to these periods of ups and downs all the time? My biggest issue in life has always been consitency. No matter what I do, I rarely can keep a balance. It is either all in or nothing at all. This is especially true with my emotional life. I can have periods where I feel really really good about myself. I dress nicely, I am groomes, social and outgoing, but all of a sudden my world crashes. Everything turns on it's head and I get swallowed in a dark hole. I stop texting my friends and family. I isolate my self at school and make excuses for why I must leave early. I skip school because it gets so hard to motivate my self in the morning to get up and do what I normally do not struggle to do. I have learned though, that to get out of my deep dark pit of selfpittyness and shame of my self I need my friends and family or else it will only get worse. I need to forcefully make myself say what is on my mind and talk about my feelings (which I hate) or else I will never come around again. That being said, I can absolutely come around again and regain my good habits and my positive self again. But I can really really get down low as to where I feel depressed. I punched a whole in my door the other day because i bumbed my head on a shelf. I would never be agressive to other people, but I can inflict pain on my self because I genuinely despise my self when I am down. Does anyone else experience these ups and down like I do? Sincirely an INFP with a turbulent life. ;)

He said, “make sure you let yourself out of that [daydreaming] world and make yourself comfortable with your hygiene & appearance.” He did not say “dress appropriately” or “dress according to society’s standards.” I would have, however, agreed with him if he did - at least at times when seeming groomed & put-together will have a direct affect of the outcome of a situation (e.g. a business convention where you are hoping to make connections). He didn’t say what he _did_ say in an attempt to stifle our creativity, though; he’s merely trying to warn us not to neglect our physical surroundings (including our own bodies/persons) so that we may have a better quality of life and have more opportunities arise for us.

But I know that this isn't good behavior. Also the victim thing is true. I have really been trying to work on that. The past is the past, and people aren't perfect, life isn't soo bad. Get over it and move on. The whole thing is that INFPs don't understand when someone is cruel to us because we would never be that way to them. So it can really hurt and cause us to feel victimized. We live in our minds, and try to figure out why all the time. We usually figure people out quickly, and when they hurt you and it's unexpected, we don't know what to do, it may take months or years to allow them to be different in your mind. Or some people I just stay away from all together. I can feel like such a victim for little behaviors that other people exhibit. So sensitive

Wow, that is so much like my own story. I too always struggled against normality to be who I was and to do the art which was inspired, against the grain of things. I had repeated depressions, until I finally started accepting the world on its terms (as best as I could.) For a long time I found the monotony soul-killing. I think daydreaming got me through, and believing that one day I'd be doing something I loved (something that felt right instead of wrong.) I've considered going into animation because I'm good at cartooning and there is a huge demand for cartoonists here, but I would consider that (animation) a sellout of my artistry. Real art is inspired, unique and it touches the soul, wakes people up inside. If I joined an animation team I would be involved in what I perceive as simulated art (pure entertainment,) and I'm not sure to what extent I'd hate myself for selling out like that. To avoid this, I've done a lot of jobs I've hated. It's not just a matter of pride of course, but being true to my nature and the importance of real art. I suspect you're right about needing connections to get anywhere. I've reached that conclusion about getting a novel published (my second book that I've tried to publish.) Based on my experiences in the arts (including theater,) it seems to me that politics takes precedence over talent. I may just self-publish, which would allow me complete creative freedom, while I pursue a career to pay the bills. Your English is actually quite good :)

It's bizarre to hear that you are so much like me when I always saw myself as unique. Everyone who knows me calls me unique.

Heyooo

I thought for a long time I was INFJ. Did the paid test - recomend it to everyone- and I am INFP!!!! I am happy, I realised I like being and INFP more!

This is exactly me!! Well, with a few little exceptions. The thing is, whenever I'm depressed, I do not care about what I look like, because I think it is superficial and I don't have the nerves to think about that. This doesn't mean that I look ungroomed, it just means that I don't take care about my looks as much as I usually would, which is a lot. And I do have a great sense of fashion. I do have a tendency to value my own opinions over those of others, but since (as you mentioned) we tend to criticize ourselves a lot, I have acknowledged that I do that and I have made a conscious effort to value others opinions just as much as I do my own. What I also do is that I try to see where people are coming from and what makes them have the opinions they have, and that helps, because I empathize with them. Also, it is not hard for me at all to gather information on something before I make my judgement. I remember that it used to be hard, years ago when I was a teen. Now, I actually don't think it is acceptable to form a judgement without hearing every side of the story, or have as much information on the subject as possible. I do take criticism personally, and I am working on that. But I need to work on that some more, which is why I am writing the next sentence: While I really enjoyed this video and while I do want to grow as a person, and while it is nice to have your weaknesses pointed out to you so you can work on them, since sometimes we INFPs tend to be just too overwhelmed with all that is going on with and around us, I do feel that this video had a little more to say about our negative rather than our positive traits...or maybe we just have more negative traits to our character :). I think I proved I am a true INFP with my message :) and I am proud to be one (proving it further lol). Oh and one more thing. I am an INFP who used to have OCD. That was not very pleasing at all. I do not have it anymore, so I am back to being a little disorganised :) .

I did several tests and often got a different result. INFP is the one I got more often and your video confirmed that I am one. One who's trying very hard to fight and conceal her own nature but still one! :)

this is so me. I'm a perfectionist, I focus on failures too much, I'm sensitive. When I'm trying new things I'm happy. For example my youtube channel was new this year and I love doing it

LOL. I still dress "grunge", my hair is usually greasy, my clothes are very ill fitting and torn. I don't wear makeup, I play guitar, I wanted to be a social worker, I play guitar and paint, I love to escape into fantasy worlds. This guy has me down to a "T". Only I don't really want to help people, but I love helping animals. I used to think I was crazy, because I don't know anyone like me. I just found out about this, and I feel so empowered. Thank you

I'm very open-minded and have a we are one attitude so accepting other people's views is pretty easy..so that part doesn't fit me

I am an INFP, and loved the video. Thank you for this.

To take things personally ,you have to use the personal mien , which is a great gift of the creator, living taking in the whole personal way in which life works in wrapped in the buttery working softness of living personably , makes art come from sacred ease and makes relation ships spring into great loves , makes ease of work and flow of pain, working person-albility is a tool to the INFP, where others find it a weapon , just because the hardline world has weaponized against the free use of person-ability dosnt mean INFPS should stop being highly personal on the inside of themselves and using this gem like tool to draw out its myriad usefulness in getting the full on affects of living a soul fulfilling life!

"You have a tendency to be eccentric." AHAHAHA well that's definitely true for me.

Thanks for replying. I took the the test multiple times and in the end i was INFP every time. This is the result that most closely matches me but the more i think about it, the more i begin to conceive the idea that the results of the test are almost like fortune cookies or horoscopes, this meaning that whatever result you get you can relate to it one way or the other. Not to say the tests are meaningless but instead not accurate, they cannot tell us who we are but only the side we tilt.

Grasping difficult concepts without getting caught up in details is relatable.

Very true. Felt like he was a psychic or something. Creepy how true these personality tests are.

Thanks for the video! I must constantly remind myself to dress appropriately and to cut my hair. If I had fine hair, it would be bushy and long most the time, lol!

Appears I’m about 10 yrs late w/ this response, buuuut re: the criticism… considering how self aware we are…I’m fairly confident I know what I need to be working on and what needs to be fixed. Plus, considering we’re big on self improvement and perfection and ideology…I’m just not certain where having someone point these things out is of great benefit 🤷‍♀️

the person on the video have strong aura of a person who knows lot,i am honored to listen to you,i am infp and i wish you all infps there good fortune luck and good statisfing lifes,lets all us stand toghter for what is good and right, dear infps brothers and sisters lets all raise a drink for love and friendship!, may they last forever!.

You sir are good at making me feel better about who I am.

maybe... your wishes for improve everything, can be focus of a better way . First accepting the process of the others and finding a lovely or carefull way to explain your real intention. I'm a INFP that used to be like you with my family because I did want the best for them or heal them =). My best wishes!

Thanks man, this describes me perfectly.

First time: When I was extremely happy --->>> ENFP. Second time: When I was extremely sad and tired --->>> INFP. Third time: When I was relaxed --->>> INFP. After considering carefully, I think I have both personalities and it may depend on the weather, my mood and many other factors. In addition, maybe the reason for this is that I'm a Gemini, and so I'm "two-faceted". Sometimes it's really difficult to understand myself Everyday, I'm a completely new person with new hobbies!

A great crash course. So far the best one here on youtube. Now to have an irrational, emotional outburst.

You should explain deeply the cognitive functions of each type, and enneagrams. That would help a lot of people. Please do it!!!!

I see myself as the least likely person to judge someone on appearance, and I am a total INFP... this sounds so strange to me, as a P I do not judge you on how you look, I need to get to know you (collect data N) before I can make a judgment ??!!

Same here. Just don't smell to high heaven, or have body-parts hanging out...

I judge people on their eyes, I guess. Like, sometimes I think I can tell by the softness and depth of their eyes, as well as their body language, that they’ll be a better friend. Does not mean I won’t undergo stress, anxiety, and sacrifice my needs for a person I don’t think I’ll get along very well with. And I certainly don’t judge them on their clothes.

I have tested as INFP / ENFP and i believe other peoples views are very important to them, it just doesn't mean that should change my beliefs

Same here I feel that whole sections (oblivious to appearance and eccentricness) really hit home to me. Also I was I'm still not 100% sure if Im an INFP but I feel like I am because a bunch of things that he was saying I felt applied to me. I am very rigid and inflexible as well to ideas that aren't my own. Also I completely agree about the late bloomer comment as I feel as a late bloomer myself.

I am a definite INFP. I have taken at least 12 different Myers/Briggs personality tests and have consistently gotten INFP, and this video describes me to the fullest :D (By the way, my mother is an ENTJ as well)

that was amazing! thank you, very helpful!

Thanks! It gets easier as you get older.

thank you sir, you understand me well👍👍

I think this me pretty much to a tea, but I wouldn't say I'm creative in a "conventional" sense. I do find the world confusing and am swayed quite strongly by emotion. I always want to help people and make them feel happy, though my sudden out bursts of emotion have been lead to me hurting people or saying something I later realise I didn't mean. I have a tendency to get to focused on something and forget the outside world, which cam be a blessing and a curse. And I do get far to focused on myself, while I will listen to someone's opinion, if its not the same as mine I tend to not actually take it in.

This describes me quite well. At first I thought I was an INTP, but I am now 99% I am an INFP instead. It is true that I'm quite sensitive to criticism and take it too harshly rather than in a detached, more rational way. This has contributed a lot to my social anxiety, I think. I have a knack for music and writing, though I don't really write anymore. I also don't work hard and consistently at music because having SA makes me doubt the worth of my output and my potential in the world. *sigh*

I did horribly in school. I would study and not get good grades. Made me feel like a failure especially because my sister was gifted in a academics.

Wow nice. Thanks for posting this vid I just figured who I am!

I'm an INFP. And I do put myself behind others.

"you able to do anything that you give mind to" yes so true, I don't care about something which I did not give mind to.

I am an infp married to an infj woman. We are soooo compatible!

omg, this is so accurate. I thought im the only INFP who do so, cause I've seen all other INFPs on youtube is so different than me.

When someone criticises me I understand that I should not take it personally my mind tells me no it's ok you should use this to improve yourself. but then my feeling takes over and I just become vulnerable and upset like a child who was told that he did something bad.

very accurate and enlightening

Almost everything that was mentioned applies to me except for the part wher INFPs like to help people. I have really low empathy level and emotional intelligence.

***** You are awesome thanks sir

I remember one day when I had to clean a arts museum's archive which haven't been cleaned for 8 years. Me n my partner we're given a week to finish the task and I decided I could do it in less time. So I would work day and night, all dirty and sweaty to finish it. I remember taking the bus back home and seeing ppl taking glances on me n my dirty clothes, and I was proud on it, because I knew all the effort we did to accomplished the taks, so I didn't bother about the glances, or hygiene. =P

Spot on!

I wasn't sure if I was an INFP or INTP. This video seems to match my personality.

9 minutes of truth truth truth. very impressive.

I'm an infp too and can relate to a lot of what the man is saying even the dressing appropriatly and being unkept at times but that's just being honest to myself. If i want to make an effort i can look pretty sharp i guess but 98% of the time i dont care about outwards apperances at all and just let my beard grow out cause its warmer in winter. Or wear clothes other have worn before me, clothing is something functional to me and holds little value other then that unless its been given to me by a person i like then it holds great emotional value especially if they made it themself(wollen sweaters etc.)

yep. this is my personality. you get a like from me!

Im so bad academicly

I still Think this is Creepy how accurate it is.

Scary how accurate this stuff is. Makes me wonder if it's just due to generalizations or cognitive biases, or if individuality isn't as diverse or real as we once thought it was. The mere act of identifying with something based on four letters seems to contradict the very need for uniqueness/free will it assigns us

Go to similar minds they have an amazing test I've takin it 12 times and always get the same one

"you have a tendency to be eccentric." --> wow.. that hit home i don't know if being a late bloomer is also part of an INFP personality. i've always been an INFP. i took test several times and i kept getting the same result. i sometimes wonder whether i'm too rigid and inflexible. maybe i'm not growing up.

I completely agree with most of this.. I remember someone was criticizing a small detail in one of my paintings and then I ended up ripping the painting up and throwing it in the bin.. I guess I really do try too hard to make things perfect.

I just took the MBTI and it's uncanny how much is true. It's really surprising, Jung was a very smart and intuitive scientist.

People usually see criticism as advantage and disadvantage instead of a chance of growth.
