3 superpowers INFPs have but ignore | introverted Feeling

[@sacredpunctuation]

As an INFP guy I have never felt so seen by a creator. I've been watching as many of your videos as I can to try and learn more about myself. I thought I had it all figured out but you go into so much more detail than many other resources. Keep it up. You're changing the world!

[@GeekPsychology]

Thank you! I’m happy to hear that I’m helping you learn about yourself even more ^^

[@SharafatKhan-r6f]

Iam infp but speech a bit intermittent. It's look like my potential is locked.

[@skylinedatsun]

man this was such a relaxing video, so personal, its like he is with me in the room explaing things to me, showing great examples and acually teaching me something

[@GeekPsychology]

Glad you enjoyed it! That’s a good vibe for me to lean into I think!

[@infp45]

I highly recommend noting down emotions; it helps A LOT! Especially, it helps me see patterns and frames I was setting for myself. I noticed that in the beginning, I was only writing about hard emotions because I ranked them as valuable. I didn't think about nice emotions as important. Now it sounds really weird, but that was something I had in my head. But after realizing it, I started writing only about nice emotions, pretending like my life is only amazing and happy. My subconscious mind is really funny. After realizing it, I eventually gave myself permission to feel what I feel. It's kind of a funny experience but also very freeing. Is that something common for INFPs? To put some frame on ourselves? To try to force ourselves into our 'ideal' form, or is that more universal?

[@MissAynneK]

Yes! I agree that noting all emotions is so eye opening! I'm used to tracking pms related emotions like 'irritable' or 'moody' or 'melancholy' etc. But after getting diagnosed with adhd and doing some deep healing work this past year, I've started to have a lot more positive emotions to write down too! I've also given myself permission to write "contradictory" emotions all in one day, which has given me a sense of freedom to change my emotional state more easily (ex. jubilant and grumpy). Learning to not write off the whole day as sad, for instance, just because of one thing that I felt at 8am, has been revolutionary

[@lunarspirit1026]

Once again, I'd like to thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and advice! It really helps a lot.

[@GeekPsychology]

Thanks! Happy to help. Anything else you want help with?

[@lunarspirit1026]

@@GeekPsychology Thanks for asking :) I really struggle to let go of people who don't care as much for me as I do for them... so maybe you could help but it's also fine for me to figure it out by myself, no worries

Namaste and thank you🙏❤🧙‍♂️

[@joanaborrellsanchez9225]

Matt (if that's your name, becuase I just watch your videos when they spontaneously appear), I look at you and your body language and I feel already safe and loved. Seriously. Idk how this is possible, but seriously, you do that.

[@Xrayhighs]

He is a developed or balanced infp, thats why he is so authentic.

[@GeekPsychology]

Thank you. I’m glad that I’m perceived that way and I’m happy you’re here when you are ^^

[@anagha_devi]

I agree!

[@omermanjo7459]

This video is "You should do this, so that you can be happy." My question is: Is our goal of life to be happy? To find that "happily ever after"? Because, that wont come in this life.

[@GeekPsychology]

You can be happy if you choose to be happy. If you don’t want to, then pick another goal and continue to focus on that.

[@omermanjo7459]

@GeekPsychology wait....did I said that out loud? Oh my.... Don't worry bout me

[@SoushirouT]

Your thumbnails are kind of amazing

[@GeekPsychology]

Thanks!

[@anagha_devi]

Your voice is so beautiful 😍 Thank you from my INFP heart 🐬🩷

[@jimschrader9507]

I dig your warm, thoughtful style. Thanks, Matt.

[@gravyz2cute4u]

I remember that Simpson's episode. I never envisioned dignity to really look like anything haha

[@GeekPsychology]

^^ what does it look like if you envision it now?

[@gravyz2cute4u]

@@GeekPsychology I just picture the scene you mentioned from The Simpsons. I still don't have any idea how I would portray it in a drawing or in my head.

[@toyasmith5676]

That is one of my favorite episodes

[@Cuspofrevolution]

My problem is when im shouted at then i get triggered and its very self destructive and hard to get out of that slump of sadness after anger. It takes me a few days but do you have any advice what to do to redirect when triggered as this is the main issue in my life and procrastination and severe anxiety at times is second especially when it comes to serious matters. 😊

[@lunarvision]

You sound a lot like me. 🤦‍♂️

[@Cuspofrevolution]

@@lunarvision yes i think i have adhd or more add. I have a lot of issue with procrastination, mood swings and lack of motivation or doing simple tasks. Its a successful day if i complete one task instead of starting stopping five hundred, or taking 2 hrs for something that should take 20 min lol. A day where i dont end up arguing is a success 👌

[@Granzteelvids]

5:40 As an INFP I know a negative consequence of this exercise: RUMINATION! I feel that introspectively having that kind of conversation is like digging myself into a hole. And dealing with people with this kind of mentality makes me confused in what is real and what is really just in my head.

[@Mo_bedr200]

Great video, loved it

[@audioacc]

Milhouse’s parents got divorced?!?!? I didn’t know that. 😮 (Nah, don’t worry about, Matt. I’ll eventually get to that episode. lol)

[@fitra99]

Easier said then done. What about if dont want to access these feelings too much as they are painful and lead to you realising that you are not living in harmony with your values but do not have a choice but to accept it.

[@GeekPsychology]

Everything is easier said than done. Use NLP and self-hypnosis to lessen the bad feeling and open up resourceful ways of thinking. You can depotentiate the negative feelings, but if you should do it or not depends on why you’re choosing to not access them. There’s always a choice. Sometimes that choice is very difficult. Sometimes it causes more problems if we pursue it. Sometimes keeping things the same is the best for the people we care about. That’s still a choice.

[@perjohanaxell9862]

And if you can talk to someone you trust about it.

Always helpful!

being an infp male is a curse. i wish i was anything else

[@GlobalEnglishSupernaturals]

@@kylesmith4185 Eckhart Tolle holds the opinion that a curse is made to be turned into a blessing - so it seems as though life allows it for this end goal it wants you to have, a blessing 🙏

I know bro. I’m seen as weak & as a man, it’s not the best thing to be seen as that

[@charmedprince]

I'm always torn on whether I'm an INTJ or an INFP...

[@GeekPsychology]

What’s tearing you?

[@Nimariel]

When stressed, are you more likely to… Seek escape through sensory experience, familiar or novel (INTJ using Si or Se)? Or go into problem-solving/research mode and/or try to “fix” things as quickly and directly as possible (INFP using Te and Ti)? I’ve found this difference to be pretty telling. Similarly, does logic/reason tighten (INFP) or loosen (INTJ) its grip on you when you are near your breaking point?

[@charmedprince]

@@Nimariel ohhh definitely an INTJ ! The test gave me INTJ . And there's another one I've read that, if you even question whether you're an INTJ or an INFP, then you're definitely an INTJ lols

[@Nimariel]

@@charmedprince I’ve also heard that INFPs have a tendency to see themselves as other types due to the constant quest to understand themselves while looking at different possibilities. I got IDed as INTJ twice over about four years by the tests. I didn’t realize I was actually an INFP until this last year when I started to look into the cognitive function stack stuff. I realized that during adolescence I had kind of fixated on my Te and Ti to escape feeling pain and tried to make those my core identity (with not great success). I also found out (the guy on this channel explains it pretty well) that this isn’t unusual for INFPs. Bottom line, I learned that there’s a significant difference between what you try to do and try to be (especially when stressed or fearing failure) and what you naturally are and excel at.

Could you do a breakdown on John Wick?

[@GeekPsychology]

I’ve pretty much given up on doing breakdowns of characters because I’ve had so many videos banned from KZbin that I’ve put in many many hours of planning and scripting and editing. I’m not sure what it is about my videos that get them banned, but it’s really frustrating.

[@abhijayjaiprakash]

@@GeekPsychology And yet gore videos and propaganda is allowed to remain on the platform. Of course. That makes TOTAL sense.
