As a very healthy INFP (I know! Shocker!) in university, my best advice to fellow INFPs is to focus your life on cultivating your strengths: your intuition, your imagination, your creativity, and your ability of empathy. Keep these at your core, and don’t give a s*** about if anyone gets it or not. Know that being misunderstood isn’t a weakness, but it is our advantage and our secret. Take it as an opportunity to individuate yourself further, and strive to be different from those around you, rather than conform to the contemporary vulgarity of the average person!

You have such good insight I’m much older in my 30,s and really struggled being”odd” and thinking differently to most others when I was younger. Strange thing was I didn’t actually want to fit in either and preferred to spend a lot of time in my imagination. I often thought other people just thought in a common way logical/ practical that I didn’t get I’m more creative/abstract and I find living in the real world,real life tv boring or just too much emotionally, I can’t watch the news. As I’ve got older I try and see my infp brain as a superpower.Yes I’m crap at spacial awareness and although I’m a very good people reader I don’t have the gift of the gab. I’ve learnt to adapt at work in a boring meeting I can be riding a dragon but at the same time be able to answer questions on health and safety and have trained myself to move my head around and not just stare into space when I’m daydreaming.

It gets easier as you get older. INFPs are late bloomers and as we age we become confident and care less about other people’s opinions (while still remaining empathetic). Just hang in there and set small, achievable goals for your creative projects. Then see them through. You’ll also find a handful of people you click with. Stay in touch with them for life and don’t be afraid to lean on them when you need to. We are awesome, it just takes us a while to realize that. 😊

The part about really struggling with transitioning from school to a career is SO TRUE and hard on my mental health. As an INFP I am not good with practical things and handling adult responsibilities and self-motivating and am SO sensitive to perceived demands and pressure. I get overwhelmed and burnt out so quickly, and it feels so unfair that we have to fight against who we are to be seen as professional, competent, confident, assertive etc. in the typical work world. I'm legit having a perpetual crisis over here. 😭 It feels impossible sometimes. I wish I didn't have to try this hard.

Us INFPs really are deeply contrary creatures. Cause the thing is... I love that part of myself, I love my emotional intelligence and sensitivity. But it is awful because it makes daily life all the more challenging. My emotions deeply influenced how I interact with the world. And this means that for me to accomplish the mundane tasks, I must first be emotional about it. Which is ridiculous, but I simply do not know how to accomplish the things I want to do without involving my emotions

Honestly, I started to be a much more happy, balanced and mature INFP after I left christianity and realized the HUGE ignorance that surrounded me. But I accepted it. I accepted life, events and people and I don't try to change them anymore. I realized that acceptance is the essence of peace; contentment is the essence of joy and joy is the essence of life. So yeah 😇 now I know the secret formula for a better life.

@@StudlyStudmuffin Religion works through manipulation but it's not just about that. Religion can offer hope - that's why it is so irresistible. But it can also be toxic. It makes you ignorant of the reality and can promote a toxic perfectionism that drains you. When I was a Christian I always felt.. immature. Since I left Christianity I no longer feel that way.

I’m an INFP. I’m still a Christian but I have had a lot of Christian people leave me and essentially betray me. I often felt misunderstood in my Christian friend group. I always felt drained when going out with them and was told by the closest one to me that I was too quiet and so much more. I really tried, but I just couldn’t fit in. The thing is, I could be angry at them or at Christianity as a whole and could make the argument that they were hypocrites and that the religion is hypocritical, but you know what? Whatever. I’m not a Christian because of the people. If my walk as a Christian depended on other people and the bad stuff such as manipulation, toxicity, and backstabbing that I’ve seen and personally experienced, I would have left. But you know what? My walk isn’t dependent on any of those things. My walk is depended on my personal relationship with God. And when those people left me? And when I felt so bad about myself and how I am as a person and how I can’t fit in, God personally told me that He would never leave my side and He made me this way for a special purpose. Although they may have thought I was boring, He told me that I am not. Although they misunderstand me, God told me that He understands me. When I felt unseen, He told me that He sees me. Religion is a dead end. A personal relationship with God is the way. You cannot be the best version of yourself without the One who created you. You were created to be close to Him and enjoy His presence while He enjoys yours. Jesus loves you 💖 Religious people put Jesus on the cross. God wants a personal relationship with you.

@@victoriaaj758 Is beautiful to see your religion as a relationship with God. I can empathize with you more than you can imagine. I was there. I wasn't a Christian because of people. I also realized that no matter how hypocrites people are, that doesn't change the truth. I wanted to be genuinely good and loving and.. right. I also enjoyed spending time in prayer and meditation. And I used to think about God and see the world considering him every day and, when I was closer to him, every hour I was awake. But the things we believe as truth can shape our mindset and, considering my background, my mindset eventually made me feel pretty miserable. I had my doubts, my frustrations, my disappointings, my falls, depression, anxiety and misery in the past - but I always covered them up. I wasn't paying enough attention to them. But I arrived at a point when I felt is not worth it - so I left God though it was not an easy choice. Later I learned that some things I thought were true are probably not. I started to see the world in another light and I realized more and more how much I blinded myself. So I became an agnostic. It was the truth I discovered and the choice I made that made me leave Christianity, not the people. What's more - I realized that every time I thought God is supporting and encouraging me, every time I wanted to grow and be good - it was actually me all along. God was a reflection of the mature figure I wanted to have in me. I wanted to have a person - a God, who can offer me love and support and a purpose and who can give suffer a meaning. When I no longer had a God who can offer these things to me, I offered them to myself. I was growing since then and the feeling of immaturity vanished. And I think that's because I become the adult I was seeking in God. I don't want to invalidate your feelings. I could be wrong. Maybe there is a God who has a plan for my life and He saw I had a bad mindset and knew that the best thing He could do for me is letting me down so I can leave the faith and fix my mindset and become a better person. After all, I did pray for maturity and peace.

This is so true with the family wants me to become an educator (which runs in the family tree) and I just graduated with an education degree. The experiences of me dealing with people drained me so much during my teaching internship. Despite of the challenges in dealing with socialization, it felt really rewarding to see that students learn and them engaging with you. But overall, in that experience i really don't think I have the guts in me to really deal with people again. There are times that I feel happy, i feel disappointed, and exhausted when I was teaching. It felt like I have not been my authentic self. I always wanted to be a psychology major student or a film student but sucks because of financial problems and all and the pressure of our reputation and expectation was that i should be an educator. Now I am reviewing for my board exams for my license as a teacher-i still dont know yet the future but still failures and disappointment is still there. But hey, i am still learning. I really love teaching other people but it socializing drains me so much. I love arts but I really don't think I could be able to do that in this lifetime :'))))))

The decision I made and the impact it had stuck with me for over a month and, even as I'm typing this, still partially sticks with me.

A force of nature usually is something with high and wide impact over the world…ehemmm…INFPs hardly care about this world, they are more concerned about their inner worlds. As a contradiction of their entire being, they poses the vision and the ability to observe what is wrong within this world and even envision ways of change in better, but they are motivated enough to do nothing about it. Why to act when you can dream about acting? Nature indeed always prevails but INFPs are more of a freak of nature. Those hardly prevails. Wolfs are…sensors and thinkers…I think…I don’t want to go this way tho…to divide the world in two specific groups…I may end up creating a new form of racism…but for clarification they are the majority in this world while the intuitive feelers are unfortunately a minority ( I hope no one would call me on that, you can check any statistics you like or even simply go outside). And here is the trick, INFPs don’t need wolves above them nor to be a minority to have the ability to perceive the world as ugly as it is, they are doing it naturally, and in their imagination they are making it worse, usually exaggerating the negative parts of it. And…I am not completely sure about this one…even if one of them may end up changing/improving the world, they will still be unsatisfied and dream even of a better one. At the end you are a bit confusing for me but I have to call you on your last words “being the change”?! Well if you manage an INFP to share his idealistic views with someone and then that someone to push them into action, MAYBE, but is a huge maybe!! That “someone” must be a monster! From my point INFPs are not big on change, actually they are quite the opposite. Stubborn in their ways and morals to the point where fallowing them hurts them and they still do. What do you think a sheep’s among wolves would dream about?

When I first started working, I fretted over "how could this happen, oh you poor thing" etc etc etc... And ultimately, emotionally burned myself out, because I was trying to empathize with that customer too much and spending all my energy on a customer that spent the better part of the conversation cursing me out and calling me a bitch and a moron, when I personally had nothing to do with this! So in the end, I just decided to go with the "Assume the customer is an idiot" and it made it easier to let their insults over my head. They are an idiot who can't get their own address right, why would their opinion of me matter? In my day to day life and with my coworkers, I don't think that way, but in my day to day life, I don't get called a bitch every other word about something I had no involvement in! It's more so a defence mechanism against shitty customers, not a general way of life for me!

Thats more of a guidance for myself and often i struggly with the idealism against the reality, but kinda slowly i learn that perfectionism isnt always good. So keep your mind up, speak with your true friends about your inner feelings and try to break down your idealisms into the real world. Hard to do so, i know, but a worthy work.

It's really hard to be an infp when it comes to finding a career. Do I have to pick just one? It's hard to balance self care with helping make the world a better place and helping other people. I usually choose to help others. And when I burn out, I pull away for very long periods of time (like I am doing now) and feel quite bad about it because I know others don't understand. If I explained it, it would sound like I am blaming them but I know it's not their fault. I am just so drained and need a whole lot of me time to heal and recharge. I love my own company. But I can also get stuck there and anxiety can creep in when I try to go back out into the world and be social aside from my job. And when I do go back out, I usually choose to hide from my closest friends and venture to see some others that I am not so close to just so I can do a whole baby-step thing back into socializing. I feel bad about doing that too. I hate that I feel bad a lot when others wouldn't give it a 2nd thought. Then I feel like I am being selfish but honestly, who isn't to one degree or another?

I don't want to waste my time and money on a teaching degree. If I fail to get a librarian job, I'd have to take up teaching to justify having one and I do NOT want to be a teacher. I thought about working in a bookstore instead but that is a highly competitive field to get hired in. I've been unfortunately going from crappy job to crappy job ever since because I can't find any other job that lives up to either of them.

I relate a lot with this. I put so much pressure on myself to make the good choice, trying to just not make mistakes all the time so much so that I often felt paralyzed. I guess that growing up was kind of difficult, it was hard because I did not have many friends or felt understood and I just thought that once I grew up I would be able to fufill my dream. Then I started to study Design but it fell flat, like it did not have any meaning to it and I just wanted to learn more. So I switched to study Pharmacy. Everyone looks at me as if I were crazy because it’s completely different, but I just have always been so curious. However after working for a few years in the clinical research industry I had a huge burn out and a new existencial crisis. The reason was mostly due to high workload, as the job is very demanding and I am a perfectionist, but also, I have always had doubts about my career choice and felt that I did not stay true to myself and my inner creative side. However after that time, I started to realize that my life purpose is not my job. I think that’s a big problem with society nowadays, not just INFPs. I am a millenial and honestly mostly everyone I talk to will be telling you about their doubts and what they should do in life next and how they are not sure about their choice. The thing is that at some point someone told us that work was the meaning of life and we should all accomplish something huge. But it really is not all there is to it. Now I am happy with my salar, I don’t need to earn more, I prefer having time for myself, my family and my selected friends (who indeed I realize, I chose as I grew older and are now actually a lot), and I realize I cannot just love every minute of my day but I do love the days when I can just write reports or perform actions by myself without social interactions, and I really like the purpose behind it all that makes it ok when I have to face conflict or perform tasks I’d rather not do, because I love the fact that I might just be able to help getting new meds to people who need it. But the most important thing is to be aware that you and your health are more important than anything in the world and stop putting so much pressure on yourself. Just enjoy.

What you are doing is all but a good idea. If you pursue this dream who isn't yours, one day you will explode and have a very huge existential crisis. Why do they want you to be that? Anyway it is your life not theirs, one day or another you will be forced to fight them to be happy, may the force be with you! For the moment you can at least try to figure out what YOU want to do with your life, without telling them (#silencious rebellion), or try to find less toxic people to help you.

I wanted to do Arts when I was 13 but my mom forced me to take Biology. Her point was I shouldnt waste my time learning Arts which runs in the family it will come naturally but science can only be learnt. Secondly I also scored well. 20 yrs down the lane im so thankful to my late mom cz science made me very analyticl and logical and it balanced my emotional side very well. Now I'n the best of both worlds Arts & Science :) I know it will be difficult right now but in the long run you'll shine :) Trust your parents

​​​​@@HinaAjmal-trust your parents" is not a good advise, because why trust them? Because of YOUR very specific and personal experience with YOUR parents? You're projecting here and that has no real worth for the individual problem of someone else. Most parents are unconscious and therefore projecting on "their" children all the time, too. They raise children by shoulds and a should is always a projection and dismissing the authentic reality and potential of the other self. And what worked for you can harm the other.

Hey, I'm an INFP myself and I've worked as a Graphic Designer for almost 10 years, gradually losing drive due to capitalistic ways of doing EVERYTHING and monotonous approaches. I love to draw, write, rap and create mixed-media art. I'm stucked now because I need to find a job again and pay my debts to my gf and I feel just so tired. I'm trying to work on my persistence, time mgmt and planning of activities to get more done. Hope we can all make it, because we have so much to give!

I think other types experience many of the same issues, these are not specific to INFPs. Especially the part where reality doesn't live up to fantasy-- who hasn't experienced that? That's why it's called "fantasy"! I think Introversion limits INFP's interactions with people so that they don't know that other people experience the same challenges, and even worse challenges than we do. I really think we INFPs are much better off than we sometimes think we are. Another observation, about feeling "unsupported". Others can perceive us as independent and self-supporting (which we may very well be) so they don't think we need support. Instead, they often come to us for support! This is why we are also called "mediators", because we often seem calm and collected in the middle of the storm and don't lose our heads like other types. This is a trait that works decidedly to our advantage. I would like to see a video on "struggles" that INFPs do NOT have, that other types do!

I relate to all of these though some I have overcome like the career ones. I struggled a lot to find a career, for two years I was unemployed and when I got a job, I hated it and quit after two weeks. It wasn’t until I (reluctantly) went back to school when I found a good career I’m comfortable with. Though I haven’t overcome the friends issue. I do have a couple of friends, but sometimes I struggle to fit in even though I’ve known them for over 10 years. They also have a lot of other friends who I struggle to get close with. I went to a party recently and barely spoke to anyone because I don’t know how to connect with people. I find it hard to start a conversation and I always wait for people to talk to me first which rarely happens. It definitely feel very isolating

I so agree, based upon my mixed blessings as an INFP. I have been lucky in that I followed my path and got by ok... sadly now I am older, that loss of a 'sense of meaning' leaves me feeling stranded alone on a desert island.. Boo hoo poor me... 😂 oh.... I didn't cry when frustrated... even worse... I told people to pxxs off... Not good... 😮

As much as we people like to throw around the idea that "you should embrace and accept who you are" and the same thing in the video is being portrayed(and I respect that no hate tho), but over the years I've learned as and INFP that life would have been much easier if I was not this personality type. Tbh I don't think INFP's are meant for this fast-paced, cruel world because our thinking can be very unrealistic and I wish I wasn't this way that's why it's very painful at times to sacrifice some dreams and goals that just aren't possible in this world and accepting that no one can actually be "supportive enough" for me. You're just on your own pal..

@@zenorian6952 you were wishing you aren't INFP, will that become a reality then? You'd rather be a one-size-fits-all cookie cutter than turning your weaknesses into your strengths and finding out what works best for you? Even if you do fit the world's standards, can you guarantee there will be no other challenges or the challenges will be easier for you? Would your life be more fulfilling? It might be annoying to read this, but fr, world's most prominent figures didn't have it easy either, and they didn't let that stop them They continue to relentlessly pursue their dreams and fight for what they believe in until it works out It might not seem like it, but those who are passionate and sincere with what they're working on have some kind of vibe that people will notice (subconsciously or not), and the sown seeds will finally see the light someday, bearing a beautiful bright fruit As for the world that bends to you, it doesn't have to mean that the world will treat you like an emporer, but at least the world will respect you for who you are rather than treating you like a doormat or forcing you to become who THEY want you to be The world is not perfect Everybody has their own flaws So, each and every 16 personalities has their own role in making the world a better place by helping each other out to make up for those flaws Like it or not, we aren't meant to thrive in this world all by ourselves
