I understand that... I also never wanted to be a burden to people by talking about my problems. what I realized is that when a friend of mine is down if rather have them talk to me and "bother me" with it than suffer alone. maybe they feel the same way about me? what I told myself to finally accept help was that I always wanna help people. but if I always keep all my problems to myself and try only helping others without accepting help for myself once in a while I'll burn out. I'll come to a point where I won't be able to help anyone anymore because I'll be so burned out and broken. that doesn't help anyone in the long run. so maybe it's better to accept help and be a "burden" to others once in a while but then be okay again and be able to help them. that how I tricked myself out of thinking that when I talk about my problems I am a burden to others... maybe it helps you, too. another thing is I think with having fe we see other people's emotions and react to them. we understand what energy other people bring to a room and then adapt to make the overall vibe better. but we are people, too, we also have our own energy, and we have the same right as anyone else to bring that energy into a room. it is okay to sometimes expect other people to adapt to the energy you bring to the room

As for materialism, we are all “materialistic” the minute we crave an article of food. We all choose what “material” suits us best. For me it’s books and art. For others it may be kitsch plastic appliances from Walmart. ...different strokes for different folks.

INFJ: even when you have friends to talk to (which is rare), you’re still reluctant to do it because you feel like your depression and your problems are a burden. But you’re right about extraverted feeling when you’re depressed. It’s like the faucet that lets everything poor out. Find a really good understanding friend and talk it out. Even if you can’t completely articulate whats goin on in your head, even if you feel like your friend doesn’t completely understand. Just talk and release that tension into the air. 🧡

@johnhanigosky40855 жыл бұрын
Nicole M. Jiménez Rosario this is the most honest insight about this phenomena I have read from an INFJ-thank you I do not think Ti serves the INFJ as a third function very well, at least naturally and relative to other types and their third function. It takes time to reach your revelation in a way that’s relevant and profound... INFJs are a big ball of Ni except Ni can be susceptible to bullshit that fills in the gaps of hunches based on weak sensory data. INFJs have to develop and rely on Ni because they have a hard time being overwhelmed with sensory reality. Then they filter this bullshit through Fe looking for socially harmonious standards of judgement. It’s like in Jurassic Park when they want dinosaurs to exist, but they’re missing a DNA sequence, so they borrow DNA from frogs and make dinosaurs thinking they’re all females, but then they can change sex, breed and kill people Yup, just like that The problem is Ti comes into play AFTERWARDS. Ti is meant to be a no bullshit extrapolation and emotional bias detector which is exactly what it follows in the INFJ. So, it ends up manifesting itself to the initiated as a form of confirmation bias. In other words, they logic out and rationalize their own bullshit and or look for evidence to support their position even when there are perfectly good explanations for what happened or what should happen instead. Or worse, no clear explanation. It’s so anti-Ti, it’s not funny. I feel for you Okay, so you might think all types have this same 3rd function dilemma: not really to the same degree. Take the INTP and ENFP for example: The INTP lives for Ti accuracy and clarity, then manipulates and modifies ideas through Ne, then looks for benchmarks with Si for a sense of confirmation. In this flow, Si will almost always improve accuracy and clarity because it is searching for details or a known corollary to abstract back to the original idea; thus, it serves the primary function appropriately. It may have some drawbacks, but the net/net is positive and fitting Now, take the ENFP and Te. Te is really only used to assert something that works and has some utility. ENFPs just want to do anything they like with Ne and Fi. Te certainly isn’t going to stop them so much, and in fact, might be more likely to embolden them to assert their zany Ne and Fi; thus, it serves the primary function appropriately. It might create other problems, but it still serves their primary purpose positively You could make the argument though that Ti could serve Fe well. They are polar opposites: Fe is about acceptance, harmony and consistency; Ti is about questioning, distrust and flaws. In order to amplify one, you have to soften the other You have to let go

While I agree there's disproportionate acceptance of what men & women can talk about with their gender group, I don't think Ni-Ti loop is any worse for a male because of it. As a female, I feel just as uncomfortable expressing painful emotion/talking through anything difficult as much as - if not more than - any male. I was a very sensitive child who would cry at the drop of a hat or whose day could be ruined by the minutest of things, so "get over it" and "why are you crying?" are prominent memories from childhood LOL. And disclaimer - I don't think it's because my parents were abusive or uncaring; I believe they really didn't understand why I was so sensitive or know how to help a kid who internalized e v e r y thing.

Men, we mostly just have other male friends who just clam up when confronted with that kind of emotion. It makes them seriously uncomfortable and will just try and get us drunk and laid or something. So for the most part men bottle up the trauma, we've even been taught to do it to ourselves. Many men are so detached from their own feelings because that's what's been programmed into us as children. This is how many men get mental health issues, and why the suicide epidemic for men is so high. Men need to stop rejecting their own negative emotions.

Why is it so much easier for women to cry than men? Crying is so healthy, even doing it alone, it gets the pain out. Yet men have a hard time doing it, why? Because of a voice in our heads that says 'don't cry, pussy'. Where did that come from? More men to learn to cry. Sob. get into the fetal position and wail! Do It! It's good for you. Even doing it alone.

Thing is, a woman being seen as vulnerable isn't half as bad as man being seen that. From a male perspective, we actually find a woman more lovable when she's vulnerable like that. But let's be real, a woman seeing a man like that is a big turn off. Big difference.

When depressed, I (in the order) 1. dive into science, theories or philosophy. Despite I'm a science educator as one of my professions I always love digging deeper. Since there's normally anyone physically present for me to have such conversations; I turn to one to one podcasts (love Lex Friedman) and imagine that I'm taking part in a discussion. Yes, talking in my head and talking aloud when nobody is around :D It helps me somehow to see more analogies with my present situation of depression, puzzle up solutions or causes or all of those. But paradoxically it also helps me divert and thus relax/calm down my mind. 2. dance either for getting my endorphins or improvise new choreographs. As a dancer, as my second profession, dancing helps in a similar way as long as it also involves thought processes. 3. write articles after I have my ideas being talked in my head and let the flow of words lead to a new idea, concept or meaning. 4. talk to a friend who, I'm sure, is capable of listening and understanding (probably 80% is enough) the matter.

"suffering is all mental" boom! you nailed it! I had been suffering depression for so long and it tormented me intensely that I suffered insomnia, depersonalization , panic attacks, vertigo, you name it. Being an emotional sponge and overly sensitive person is the main reason why I suffered from all of my problems that's why Im trying to enhance my logical thinking to help me not to worry a lot about stuff and it really works :) i also read stoicism which is a really big help as well. Also, the other thing that worries me a lot is that when I'm depressed, it feels like I have no power to get myself out from the torment and darkness and i would become so desperate trying to be understood by others so that I would get an emotional support from my family or friends but I always ended up helping my own which is a good thing as well because it helps me become a mature and independent person.

I've come to the realization that a romantic relationship with a fellow introvert (or perhaps even INFJ) would be best for me. I've only been in relationships with extroverts and I think it would make a world of difference. Simply to have a connection and understanding on a deeper level would be quite soothing to the soul I think. To be able to feel heard and understood, and then proceed to get out of the mind and blow off some steam together. That's my version of #couplegoals anyway :)

My partner is INSP - I think, or INTP. I am INFJ - although there are some aspects of me even he can't relate to, he does understand how I feel. The deep and personal conversations between two introverts far surpass any conversations I've ever had with an extrovert. My SO has less trouble making friends than I do, but can be very anti-social and introverted, even more than me sometimes. He often tells me I'm not as weird as I think I am. There are still differences between us, and I think that's the nature of being INFJ (less than 2% of people). Being with another introvert, the best part is we both understand that the other person really NEEDS to be alone. We give each other a lot of personal space and respect our time needed alone.

My sister and BFF is an extrovert, and she's the oldest. We have always been close and never had a fight or argument all our lives. As children (and even now in ways) she always did all the talking, because she understood that I wasn't able to express my wants/needs. Her extroversion brings out my creativity and imagination. I think introverts find it hard to experience real joy, without having the right people to bring that out in us. So I find I laugh a lot and have a lot of fun and joy with Extroverts. And she benefits from my calm, steady nature. When she feels restless and agitated by her need for constant movement and stimulation, my personality helps balance that out and bring her back to earth. She is the Yin to my Yang

But I don't have friends that I'm close enough to tell them how I truly feel and even ii I do try to tell them about it, I'm afraid I would be a burden to them cause they also have problems. I told one of my friends one time then she didn't even let me finish my story, when I told her about my family problem (I felt really left oit that time cuz no one understood me) she would try to find a solution and say things like "that's fine" , "that's normal" or "that happens to me too".. I know she was trying to make me feel better, and I'm grateful for that but I just wanted her to listen to me for a moment.. after I hit home. I couldn't believe myself that I told her that.. I thought "what if she tells someone about what I said? now I'm a burden to her, whu did I tell her that? did I really want to talk to someone that bad? I should be the pillar to them, I should make them feel comfortable and not be worried about me" those thoughts flew into my head at that moment. I then told her when I saw her at school to forget everything that I told her and she did. I really want to open up to someone but it's hard.. I tend to keep my personal feelings bottled up or only show it when necessary..I love my friends but I don't think I can tell the. about this.

I get confused as to if I'm that terrible or it's too good and they want to stop, because although women are known to fake the oos and aahs, they can't fake the fluids nor the involuntary spastic gripping that happens, 1 partner after sex would quiver sharply from my caressing her belly side or shoulders, I wasn't sure if that was climaxing but the 1 time I innocently giggled at her she seemed embarrassed and no I don't have it twisted that I'm God's gift to women but that women are God's gift to man, seriously Fe is overrated and Fi is so powerful by touch, just saying....

I can literally see my Ti explaining to me why I shouldn't feel how I feel, trying to soothe myself with facts and simultaneously feeling that this will not make me feel better... and I start blaming myself for not seeing the negative outcome... whenever I manage to get my Fe in there and talk to someone that is close to me (which I will only due if I feel I can't survive the next minute) it helps me to put things in perspective and to be a little less harsh to myself... but until I get to this point I must have been in deep despair for a long time because I am always afraid of burdening others with my intense feelings...

Yes! This is why getting out of the mind and getting into your body and feelings is important for INFJs. It's the way out of the INFJ depression and the way into knowledge of self and actual real happiness...eventually...over time. That's when things actually come out...expression. I've learned that I've suppressed SO much. Anger and sadness and shit. Once it actually comes out..I feel so much better. All this suppressed stuff causes our depression. Get out of mind, get into feelings and let it all out! By the way, there actually are people who get joy from listening to other people's stuff and uplifting them! ✋ Holy crap. I reassured my nephew when he got upset the other day and to see the tension release from his little face, it felt like I had fulfilled my life's purpose. There are people.

I have lots of friends, but very few physically around that I can talk out my feelings. So, it's funny. Because I don't have many friends that I can go to regularly with my feelings or thoughts while I'm still figuring them out, my mom usually gets the brunt of it. Unfortunately, I think she's an INFP and doesn't know what to do with my thoughts sometimes, I believe this is because my deep "thoughts" come across to her as intense "feelings" when - in reality - I haven't even decided whether the thought is even true yet to me or not. I think I need more INFJ friends who can relate and be that sounding board during these times. Thank you for being my (virtual) friend, Frank. 😘 Your videos really do help people.

This explains my depression since I was in middle school. Been very hard through the years.

This is your 3rd video I've watched so far, and when you started with "I consider myself a postpostmodernist. Just wanted to throw that out there,"I immediately subscribed. Because you're me.

Another factor to accelerates this loop is that it's not easy to practice extraverted feeling and sensing when depressed. When someone's depressed they do not want to meet the world, and they end up deciding to stay alone at home (at their peril)..

I came hear after getting overwhelmed because i got mad at my family for forcing me into a last minute outing, and i felt soo damn guilty for getting mad at them and ruining everyone's mood.And though i don't feel super sad or depressed about my childhood hurt very frequently, but when i do feel hurt by my parents or someone close who has hurt me before, i just feel so overwhelmed. Its like all the memories come back again and I feel hateful. I cried straight for an hour. Does anyone else who struggles with childhood trauma or depression feel like this...

This makes all the sense to me. I definitely lost all objectivity when circumstances pulled me out of my teaching job for the remainder of the school year. It helped me by talking to people, a lot of different people. My therapist was the first person to suggest I not return. Then my close work friends said yes, you are best on the team not broken and we like you happy. Another friend said that's awesome, couldn't think of a better way to get back to full health. Then my PT said I'll write the note to your doctor and the doctor said I'll keep you out until June. How easy was it to feel like that situation was all my fault? Way too easy. But the more support I garnered from multiple sources the more it helped me justify this decision in my mind. I would say to you, if you are struggling and you have friends that are reaching out, DO take them up on that. A really good friend does not take it lightly that you talked to them about something serious and personal. When someone does that to me, I am honored. Because it means they trust me and respect what I might have to say. Looking forward to part 2. :)

In my 53 years of existence in this life... This "INFJ PERSONALITY TYPE" Concept has been in my awareness for about 3 hours. I am blown away at so many levels! The chance of me intersecting with this knowledge and information was completely unexpected! Yet I am in no way taken back by any of this. On the contrary, I am absolutely grateful! It was already many decades ago when I told myself that it would be nothing more than false hope, lying to myself, and an energy draining exercise to believe that there could someday be another human who might remotely be able to have even the slightest ability to truly understand a human being such as myself. Other than of course the understanding of how to inappropriately profit, energetically & emotionally leach, steal in every ruthless meaning of the word, step on, assassinate the character of, view as & treat like a valueless stupid, useless subhuman piece of excrement to be permenantly flushed down life's toilet! Then suddenly a bolt of lightning strikes in the form of this INFJ coming to my attention. It is remarkably close ((Idont believe in much of anything being replicated in exactness to the level of 100% or perfect.)to being so far in the range of perhaps a 95%-98% accurate comparison to my personality as I see it. I have no idea what if anything at all.,All of this information will lead to at this point. I am only 3 hrs. into this and quite a lot of additional thought and study must be seriously executed on my part before any conclusion(s) will be reached and extracted. Still I am surely very excited and interested in pursuing this deeper and farther. Thank You for the wonderful information and supportive knowledge you are providing with your channel. I fully intend to refer often to your channel as a positive resource for not only myself but hopefully for many others as well.... Again, Thank You! Rob M.~

wow, this really explains a lot. im just like that where i hate talking about what im feeling and it makes me really uncomfortable, but when i do talk, it really helps me understand and organize thoughts and feelings. i’m just recently getting into the functions part of MBTI and i’ve always known that i was either an INFJ or INTJ, but knowing about the functions now and how they work has really solidified for me that i am actually an INFJ.

suffering is all mental (I don't really talk to people, it always backfires) and it is so hard to reach out and get rejected. I am lost in this depression that just won't let up. You have helped me to get back into and clear view of what is happening. And, I thank you Frank

I have been feeling pretty blue lately, and I TOTALLY relate to not having any friends that you're close enough to or friends that would be willing to push you out of your comfort zone to get out of your hole of helplessness. I have been really enjoying your channel, Frank! We should have a chat about MBTI, psychology, pick at each other's brains, or even just be there for each other as fellow humans. Thank you so much for making this video! It made me feel less alone. Keep up the great work!

I love to hear from my INFJ community :') It's like listening to my self complaining but it's someone else :) No one understands me because my thoughts always tell me that I am not good enough...And it's like how you said, it's only myself who is telling me that...So no one understands me And I feel trapped, because my family always thinks I am weird because I am so mature and cold...While outsiders think I am positive and weird and that I have nothing to worry about I always talk to my only best friend that also faces basically the same thing but because I can't talk to her face to face all the time, I don't feel that much better... (Just to say, my personality was like the exact opposite when I was younger, until I moved from one country to another...I got bullied multiple times, no one could understand my feelings, and no one helped me...So my personality changed from that to INFJ...I got mature, thought deeply about things(Like why should I live, why is the world like this), and changed from an extravert to introvert...)

no girl, personality is a built-in life processing capabilities, there are some indications of your type, for infj they tend to be quiet and just watching other kids play for instance. Also i like you say that you're mature and cold, i think we will be always fine whatever the timeline is, idk.

You might be an unhealthy Extrovert, it is still possible, that you are actually meant to be an ENFJ, but that you're just suffering from social disorder anxiety from being bullied ~

The Dark Side of ESTP is a flipped over Reversal to INFJ, so you could be a seriously broken Extrovert, or ESTP as well, trauma will cause someone to clam up. Truth is, if you're a real INFJ, we turn into Demonic Scary Psychopathic ESTPs, we lose all ability to have feelings, and we're just sociopathic numb and insane genocidal maniacs ~ We turn completely cold and apathetic entirely, and we're very scary people, because we use our minds to tear people apart without any shred of a conscience/compassion ~

OMG I love that song 💕 Shout, shout let it all out 🎼🎵🎶 Yes when I am in that horrible loop, I watch a comedy show, or FJ videos about all the MBTIs😆, I also cook, clean, listen to music, meditate or go for a walk. I feel relieved to know that I am not alone in this. Thank you FJ for ALL your videos and thank you especially for keeping these older videos which helps me a lot when things start to spiral. I also feel it is unfair to burden others with ones depression and those kind of thoughts. Once again your videos have been of great help.

Thank You so much for doing these videos. I was in an Ni-Ti loop for a long time when my wife kidnapped my three kids then got me kicked out of my own house and then made up some false claims to the police. I ended up spending 64 days in jail. I thought I was going to literally go insane. It was one of the few times in my life where my intuition let me down, I never thought my ex-wife would be capable of such evil. I have always tried to do good in my life and help people out. I still haven't seen my kids because she then got an order of protection against me and has disobeyed the court order to let me see my kids. I would constantly go though in my head for hours and hours about things. I couldn't get out of my own head for a long time.

This message is for you @Nicholas Wolfgram . If You are an infj your mind is allways thinking. Your purpose now is your kids. As being a good person you ended up with a terrific woman. It happened me the same really. We have a deep connection with borderline and narcisist people, my luck was not having kids with her otherwise my life would be even worse than it was really. Go to the court and try to prove she is border or narcisist. She is doing this because she is evil and enjoys to watch you suffer, it gaves her pleaseure. Dont get you caught ok? Be smart because you are, usually people like us sometimes stay on the wrong hands. Best luck and im sorry you are passing through this. Huge hug

As an INFJ this book helped me a lot. 'Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy' by David D. Burns. It's a guide to cognitive therapy, also known as talking back to the distortions in our thoughts that lead us into depression. There's a great chart in the book that lists the top ten crazy things we tell us that leads us into these loops. Examples would be 1. All or nothing thinking (If I don't get THIS job I'll never find a good job, ever), over- generalizations (this ALWAYS happens to me), fortune telling (I know she'll say no if I ask her), etc.

Everything is absolutely true! The introduction of new material into the loop really helps. One day while having it out with God I got an answer and I threw the loop completely out! Gosh I felt better knowing the end result of that mental argument wasn't in my hands anymore!! Lol. It's tiring putting myself through this mental drain when things in the world and my personal life aren't going my way...
