[@lishayost44]

@@lailaisaidit2223 It does seem that all people do is criticize, but I think it's really that the negative takes a much bigger place in our brains. It is like a survival mechanism. You have to focus on the negative to "survive". So it's easy to overlook the positive. Whenever I get criticism, I try to also remember positive things people have said about me, or things I've done that people have complimented. Evens it out.

[@Andinero1]

INFP - I'm afraid to be dependent on others and to be let down. I value my independence and being able to do my own thing when I want. I hate asking for things out of need, but I'll easily ask for something I could get or do myself, purely out of convenience. Not sure if that makes sense. You're right about freaking out on camera - I'd rather swallow a cactus than lose my composure in front of ppl. I also find myself really concerned about portraying the right image - I want to be looked at and admired, not looked at and judged harshly. I've never taken criticism well, but I'm working on that. And I really do walk around thinking I'm awesome lol Thanks for the breakdown and all your vids!!

Very interesting. I'm an INFP and started a side business last year (in addition to full time job), and I have been putting off sharing this with my family. I'm imagining questions, criticism, judgment, doubts... I would much rather keep going forward by myself and tell my family once it's actually successful (hope it is but u never know). So yeah, the tribe Fe judgment is terrifying.

[@dcarze9]

I 100% feel this. Just wanting to start something but not wanting to tell anyone even if you are super excited about it because you don't want to be judged. We can't even ask for help, not because we don't think people will help, but because we don't want anyone to find out. It's such a struggle that cause us to take forever to actually do things, God forbid we actually get to the point we are proud of something we made and the tribe doesn't get it. Thus, hyperindependence and doing w/e I want. That's at least how it is for me at least.

So True. I keep so many ideas to myself for this reason.

[@lishayost44]

Most of the criticism I've gotten in life was just something someone took personally because they are too sensitive, close-minded, and/or just misunderstood something I said. I don't mind constructive criticism at all; I may or may not use it or change myself or how I'm doing something. It is character assassination that bothers me the most. - intp

[@stariqa2]

It’s important to know the intention behind the criticism i.e. whether is to correct something or is to put down someone. When I understand that, I behave accordingly with the criticizer.

[@writerducky2589]

I was unsure for a while if I was an Observer or Decider because I’d be afraid of handling the "thing." Until I realized it wasn’t the coffee machine (or whatever) that scared me. My fear was that, not being able to operate the coffee machine would somehow make the tribe hate me and think I’m stupid.

[@austinbodiford6360]

As one who has struggled with how the tribe perceives me (my life story), I felt this one. As not knowing how the tribe feels about me has really bothered me, I would often guess about their feelings, often times getting it wrong. So instead of assuming this guy hates me, I would dig on myself and they would respond with their true feelings, "what no way dude!" Which would bring clarity or they would agree 😳 either way nit taking myself too seriously was the key and listening to others insight about myself has been fundamental in feeling comfortable in my own skin.

[@CT--jv2ur]

I did before, but believe your own intuition. It works 👍 your subconscious can work for you sometimes, at least in my experience (tested as an INFP first time on IDRLabs). I know it sounds like some wishy-washy spiritual type shit. But, what I’m saying here is how it works, I often over-think and over-analyze everything, to the smallest details, and honestly; it actually sometimes creates problems for me. When you believe in yourself (I’ve actually tested this out in real life; social conversations, and decision making, etc.) you become more in tune with yourself and the actual information you have stored in you, and are able to actually use it effectively. It’s like when you over-think and doubt yourself, when it comes to decision making, you can actually end up making poorer decisions; but, if you just believe that you know what you are doing, and not Ti’ing in the moment, just Se’ing, it works 👍 sometimes, all you need is to take a breather and just go with the flow. Trust me.

Just check your forehead for a bruise and that is an exxj. YES! I am an introvert and my ESTJ manager is the worst thing that ever happened to me. Micromanaging, bulldozing over anyone they hate, and still finds the time to have the daily put downs while amping up the pressure. They literally came right out and told me I was the hardest person to get along with and anyone else in the world would be easier to get along with than me. All of this was right before they said they hate introverts and claim I am too hard to read because I am not outgoing like everyone else. 30% of all of the therapy I have been in since COVID is to deal with the abuse from this manager because I cannot find anything better yet. I have gotten cards and thank you's from people in different departments praising my work and how thankful they are for what I do. My manager is never satisfied and would watch me work myself into an early grave before going easy on me and giving me credit for what I do. ENTJs and ESTJs make my life miserable. They need to chill and stop forcing their opinions and will on everyone for every little thing.

Can this also work the opposite way? Where the IXXP constantly thinks lowly of themselves and end up being surprised that the tribe actually thinks they’re awesome or above where the IXXP thought they were in relation to the tribe. 🤔

yes that happend especialy ISFP,s, way to often. Its mostly the Fault of a Toxic TE/FE heavy social environment, which is just so Dumb that it supreses,Personal Growth trought FI, for the sake of frictionless working of Tribe-selection Running.

[@PowerRedBullTypology]

I think essentially the IP does not KNOW what their value is from the perspective of the tribe, meaning their estimation may be much too high or also too low. They basically always feel perpetually uncertain about it and even feel super confident or super inconfident at the same time. This is the opposite of the EJ's which know exactly where they stand when it comes to the judgement of the tribe, which will problably a much more finetuned, grey, more neutral judgment in the middle whereas the IP will assume it's either black or white (very good or very bad).

[@ecatcheshire9741]

These descriptions make me reconsider my INFP type. I do not think I’m awesome in any respect (the reverse) and am often ‘helpfully’ criticised for gathering other’s perspectives, from a varied tribe, especially prior to major decisions (to uncover aspects I hadn’t considered). It’s a slow and confusing process sometimes losing my own perspective from gathering too much information.

[@JosiahMcCarthy]

@@ecatcheshire9741 do you think you're an ENFP then? For what it's worth, i don't think what you've described sounds at all inconsistent with my experience of being an Fi dom.

@@JosiahMcCarthy thanks for your comment, it’s helpful knowing you recognise and are Fi Dom. I am unclear and hope pursuing Objective Personality coins will clarify.

My intensely I friends say I demonstrate more E behaviour than them, tho they are all I**J. Maintaining friendships - mainly 1:1 is exhausting due to distance. I see my few friends regularly, not frequently. I hugely appreciate when less effort/planning are needed to achieve connection. Carno commented above about the influence of toxic TE/FE social environment, this certainly influenced my early life at home and in work. I internalised negative attitudes to and misjudgements of INFP traits.

And the fear comes from being looked at as an alien for asking stupid questions, being laughed and smiled at as if i'm dumb and don't know what i want and how to ask for stuff... This is THE MOST stupid thing anyone can do in my eyes. This led me to stay away from such things and lean towards online shopping like 95% Fuck them, they can laugh at their own stupidity in the mirror :D The other fear is being controlled and watched over, robbed of free time and forced into a routine with consistent checkups on my progress... this is just UGH! For Christ sake, leave me the fuck alone and let me concentrate and get the flow going naturally!

[@bennaustin6632]

As an IP, I find dealing with people to be fine, as long as it’s one on one. But get a dozen people in a group and it’s a nightmare. Someone’s going to start some stupid drama over something unimportant. Gathering of small, close knit groups are cool, you get to actually connect. Gatherings larger than about 6 mean you cannot have any depth of interaction with everyone, so you either try to have to have brief, shallow interactions with all of them or exclude people to have decent interactions with only a part of the group. Or if you see them often, you can take turns who to prioritise.

[@5idi]

I'm an ISFP, and I don't like doing what the tribe likes or needs. I used to be so scared of the tribe that I constantly caved in and betrayed, hated and blamed myself. I tried to harden up by actually "doing what is necessary," and it's only in recent years (I'm 30) that I've learnt to actually double down on my Fi and tell myself to ignore the tribe. I say I'm awesome when I do something for my soul, because "the tribe" doesn't deserve my efforts. When I do invest in someone else it's because it's important to me personally, never because I hope they like it. When I write, I do it for personal reasons and never aim to publish, and I don't go to the dentist because going, meeting them, answering their stupid, irrelevant questions and getting no useful information back

[@shaneaverystarr]

Even though I am an Exx (Se/Ti), I couldn't agree more about paperwork fears and computer updates and shit like that. There's always a problem that isn't supposed to be there that I have to deal with. Just yesterday, I got a new chair for my office and I decided to bring it to work and put it together on 4th of July because no one was there and of course one of the bolts didn't go in properly because it was manufactured poorly and was stripped... so I had to go to Home Depot and find a thinner bolt that would fit but not too thin so I had to buy five extra than what I needed to make sure one of them would be right... and get an extra screwdriver that I didn't need, so that I could go back to the office and put it on right without having to go home and come back first, so that I can have a nice morning (this morning) going back to work while everyone else is off...

[@0007123451]

It's not that we walk around thinking we're awesome all day long. It's just that we have no idea how to accurately gauge our standing in society. And we see the effect that has on us and we try to check and correct it. We cant handle praise or blame responsibly. We either think everything is fine or we think we're the biggest idiot and piece of shit ever. We know that meeting the endless expectations and demands of the tribe is unrealistic for anyone and that much of the time those demands are unnecessary, unfair, illogical, immoral, harmful, selfish, stupid, bullshit ect. There is a cap to how much energy we can pump out and how much "yielding to the tribe" is practical, reasonable and fair to ourselves and even the people around us. The greater good isnt always what the masses demand and isnt always what's popular or what affects things on a larger scale. To us everything is nuanced and we just want to make sure we aren't part of the problem. It's not that we cant fit playing by the tribe's rules into our worldview it's just that we see where the tribe is going wrong and try to make sure we never become that. If that makes sense. Granted there are times where the selfish IxxP thing does apply but how the self vs tribe dynamic isnt always that black and white. I'm also not saying that your assessment isnt largely true because it is. It's just that there's more to the story. And yes I know, that's all according to my biases as a SC/PB Infp. We have to pay attention to pay to ourselves because we see all the people who aren't and all the damage its causing to the world around us. And again I feel the need to reiterate I'm not trying to make excuses I'm just trying to Te explain and give insight. For whatever it's worth to anyone.

[@wisamrohilina3006]

Yesssss.. that deep insight you gave there is actually the gift on IxxP to the world, how we can see the bigger picture and yield the personal responsibility that lies on each one of us in making things better.. we might seem self-indulgent but it's because we understand that somehow the only way we can influence things/others is thru becoming a role model ourselves instead of just preaching (of course this is the case for the more mature and healthy IxxPs).

You guys typed as ENFP when I thought I was an INFP in the past. Over the past few months, even going back to before I got typed, I have been kind of realizing that I have been more quick to see where I was pissing off the tribe or maybe "Not all that." The area that has really been an eye opener was getting typed sleep last, which was a shock because I spend most of my time by myself and thinking on my own. I started realizing that a lot of this time alone was not super efficient, could be overly negative, and I got called out by Kendrick Uy (Male ENFP) for not telling people how I feel. I wasn't giving those emotional owie reports that sleep saviors are supposed to be able to do. It's been a wake up call. (Self typed INFP, got shaved as an #mfNeFiCPBS #ENFP)

[@BrockMak]

I don't go to the dentist for that exact same reason: The pain, the sound, and my knees possibly buckling from whatever, even when it's just the electric toothbrush whitening my teeth. That level of sensory overload while I'm stuck on the chair is so unnerving, I'd save up to pay extra so I can do whatever while I'm conked out with anaesthetics. I loved the paperwork, though.

[@BlueHazyDreams]

Pretty sure I'm a decider but tryin to confirm what type (might just be INFP like I've always thought, but I'm keeping an open mind post discovering OP in case I'm a peacocking ExxJ or whatever). The IxxPs going around thinking they're awesome thing threw me off initially, like Jerry Seinfeld. When I think about it I feel that's true of me, but I don't relate upon first hearing it because even though I like me, the tribe has historically not liked me so I've grown to have bad self-esteem around other people. I do run around with a bit of that EJ "I'm not good enough" when objective standards come into play, but you won't see my freakouts. You won't even see me cry or sweat if I can help it. But subtract the tribe from the situation and I do like myself quite a bit, so I want nothing to do with the tribe.

[@jack76787]

I think it’s more about wanting to be awesome more then automatically thinking that you are awesome. If IxxP’s have a need to be highly valued then they also would recognize when they’re not being valued. I would say it’s a need to be valued and perceived as valuable and not simply assuming you are. This is what seems correct to me. I think I’m an Intp but don’t really know.

[@AndreaCrisp]

I relate to your comment. Self typed as an INFP based on cognitive functions vs a test, but still trying to learn and understand OP. I did a transpersonal counseling program that was highly experiential, Gestalt, reenactments and group therapy oriented. While parts were extremely good for me, in many ways it was retraumatizing for this very reason. I was judged pretty harshly by my fellow students in the end, because I wasn't having emotional outbursts like everyone else in the group setting. But I never ever will. Growing up it was not really allowed for various reasons. I wish I could, because keeping everything internal affects my health, but if I couldn't do it after three years with the same group of classmates in such an intimate and emotionally open environment, it ain't gonna happen.

[@BlueHazyDreams]

@@jack76787 This would make a lot of sense. While I don't always think the best of myself and never act that way either, there is a need to be valuable. Like in Dave's example with the employee of the month, even coming in average which is more common for me than being last is upsetting, and feeling undervalued was part of why I wanted to move on from my last two jobs. Though I lack some drive, I'm competitive, I have high standards for myself and I do desire greatness in what I do, but I don't want to be admired on a widescale.

[@BlueHazyDreams]

​@@AndreaCrisp I was judged harshly for being a very sensitive child. I was told not to cry and I was treated like my feelings were nonexistent and no big deal. I still cry because I find I need to regularly, but it's something I prefer to do privately away from people's judgment.

I don't see how thats specific for IxxP, you are saying as if the fear of criticism and being shamed is specific only to those types, when in reality It's all about confidence and building self-esteem, which has nothing to do with your type. An IxxJ can also fear of being criticised or being persecuted by others, it really depends on how the types work-around those fears, what motivates them, remember that IxxJ's are also introverts and may less dislike dealing with people. You are also forgetting that an INTJ can be Enneagram 5, which has a fear of appearing incompetent or incapable, same enneagram that an INTP (An IxxP type) can have. This video is bogus because they assign various behaviour to a certain type, which can apply to any type.

I don't remember seeing any video of dave and shan differentiating social anxiety of ixxp's and social anxiety as pychopathology.

I’m an infj as well(I think, I’m still learning about myself). In my opinion it’s definitely possible for an infj to have social anxiety as well, even if it’s not psychopathilogical. I think it’s more about the way it manifests that differentiates it from other personality types.

[@tavrine9729]

@@cleb5117 ofc everyone regardless of their type can have it and yeah, technically, its manifestation should differ between the types but it's not that easy to pinpoint irl if the condition has become excessively unhealthy or if you don't have any other observations and opinions than your own (maybe needing outside opinions is a sign of fe rather than fi btw. still I can't know for sure as long as it includes pychopathology aspect). and dave and shan are a bit more straightforward and holistic so that's not fully helpful for me. for you, what are some telltale signs of the way an infj manifests compared to, for instance, an infp does?

[@cleb5117]

@@tavrine9729 As you said, it is definitely very difficult to pinpoint it all as there are all kinds of factors that effect it’s manifestation. It seems that Fe users are more in need of outside opinions related to themselves and their feelings, as it is an external judging function. It’s very common for Fe users(especially infjs) to have hard time understanding themselves and their feelings, so it really does help to look outwards. This same concept may apply to anxieties and insecurities as well. Infjs, or any Fe user, will generally care a lot about how people feel about them. What can cause a lot of confusion is that people use “think” and “feel” interchangeably. When I say that infjs will care about how people feel about them, it’s related specifically to emotions rather than logic. For an example, let’s say somebody said you were annoying them. This would probably cause distress, and you may wonder what you’re doing wrong. Now, let’s say someone says that your opinion on a certain subject(unrelated to emotions) is illogical. You may be a little annoyed, but you won’t feel as insecure about it. This is because your “thinking” function is introverted, and your sense of logic is subjective. An infp on the other hand will have the reverse problem. Their feeling function is introverted, and thinking function extroverted. They will generally not be insecure about how others feel, because they judge feelings and morals subjectively. They will however, be more insecure about what people think of them in regards to logic. They need external feedback in relation to logic(similar to how an infj would need external feedback in relation to feelings). This insecurity may be very strong in an infp, as Te is their inferior function. For an infj, Se is their inferior so that can cause some serious anxiety in an infj. That is not to say that they can only be insecure about things related to those specific functions. As you said, anxiety disorders can cause it all to manifest differently. It can cause you to doubt the things you’re normally most confident in. Aside from that, I really hope that you’re doing well right now. Anxiety is a beast, and it can really make everything seem impossible. Putting your feelings out there will definitely help, and it will be way easier to process them that way.

Typically when you see paragraphs of history and exposition focused on the self, you're reading Si speak and most often from INxPs. True INFJs (who are tribe-focused and future-focused) never tend to write paragraphs about their history, questioning who they are.

[@cleb5117]

@@tavrine9729 Looking back at it, I went a little off the rails with that comment. To sum it up, both infjs and ixxps can have anxieties about the tribe. Ixxps are more likely to feel anxious about Te related stuff, while infjs may feel anxious about Se related stuff. That can cause a lot of confusion as Se and Te can appear similar to each other.

My greatest dentist fear is the dentist not doing his job well or that's he's doing it wrong, like filling the wrong tooth, or missing cavities, so then when I come back the next time it's worse and I have to undergo something heavier. ughhhh, hate that. When I went to the hospital to get a suspicious birthmark removed I had the same fear. I could even hear them whispering behind me 'which birthmark was it, was it this one? yeah /distracted pause\ I think so'. WELL YOU BETTER GO FUCKING CHECK, DO I HAVE TO SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU, DO I NEED TO TEACH YOU HOW TO FUCKING DO YOUR JOB? CHECK THE DAMN COMPUTER.

However I take it a step further, I know that others will be judging my work and progress, so there is a building "I need to do more and better", and so I do, over a course of time, get a lot done through obsession. I do the most work and the best work, but I would never get an "employee of the month sticker" (employment is a gross thing that I do not participate in btw, just playing the hypothetical game here), because I do tend to have that competitive, look at me, I did most of this and better than the rest attitude, which no one would want to vote for.

Many of the IP's I know are extremely hard on themselves, never think they're doing enough, and are terrified to ask for help because if they do that means they have to be involved in the tribe in some way. We do not want to show weakness or ask for help because we must be self-reliant. If we can do everything on our own that means we aren't being a burden to the tribe, we can do our own thing and do it perfectly, and the tribe can focus on other things. We want to provide value to the tribe, we just want to do it on our own terms without needing anything from the tribe and without the tribe infringing on our autonomy. I will say that when I was younger I was a know-it-all, thought society (the tribe) was full of idiots, and thought very highly of myself because I knew how things "should" be working, but then reality sets in and tends to humble you. Maybe a lot of IP's you talk to just haven't been humbled enough to realize that they aren't outsiders looking in, but they are a part of the same circus and are just as incompetent as anyone else, they just pretend to be separate from it because then they can live in their delulu fantasy world where they have it all figured out without actually having to work together in a complex and multifaceted society.

Their model is that they can 'prove' your type. That's why it's 'Objective Personality'. One of the easiest things they look for now (their model develops over time) is what someone freaks out about. And IPs just tend not to freak out in public, so they can't spot the markers as easily.

The mismatch between title and content is disappointing. IxxPs are not aware of their fourth function, the demon you mentioned, but they can’t evaluate that because their evaluation function is in eighth place after their fourth place demon. For example, INTPs can't tell if they like or dislike their demon Fe because their 8th-place Fi is so buried they can not contact it. That disconnect is both disappointing and scary.
