INFP - How Do You Stand Up For Yourself?

[@ErikThor]

You're not weak because you're not interested in fighting and not attracted to power. You're not strong, but you're resilient, and that's also a power... find out more in today's video! :)

[@Petig2002]

Wonderful topic! Thank you so much for giving the quiet people a voice, Erik :) I'm very much looking forward to this video

As an INFP I admire your ability to understand people and the way they think and feel. Especially group and conflict situations. Truly underrated channel

[@heathermeyers4097]

I'm still in the middle of the video, but basically it's like INFP (me) or introverts sacrifice yourself for the whole of everything or everyone. That's seems about right. I am not happy unless there is harmony, fairness, and balance. I'm looking for that for everyone and everything even though I lose any sense of individualism. I become a group instead of a singular being. Ugh. 🤦 Life is hard. Thanks for the video. To feel not so alone and understood by someone, it's nice. 💓

Before I watch the full video: there is strength in showing weakness... vulnerability. Acknowledging this leads to a stronger path which is more fortuitous and enduring.

[@ErikThor]

Yes!

Thank you for putting this video out there!!!!!! Am in the process of going from being closed off with my feelings to sharing them and learning to be more open. It is a completely painful process. Going from being a complete loner to seeing how we are all connected and realizing my deep loneliness that has been hidden behind walls I thought were protecting me... There are no words that can express how I feel just like you said!!! Thank you I feel the permission and ok-ness in this vid. Sharing my true feelings with someone last night and been fearful today I was crazy and wrong for doing so. Also was trying to head in the direction of feeling I need to be more aggressive. Thank You for reminding me of the fact that my superpower is not to be found going down the conventional path!!!! WOW!!!!! Powerful video!!!!! THANK YOU so much!!!!

I get great enjoyment when racing when I beat someone else & the more it "hurts" the loser when I'm the best... I don't like to hurt people but racing is completely different for ME

If there was a heart sign i would select it. Your content on INFP is insightful, valuable, and sensitive. Its invaluable, bordering on intimidating. Softness is a strength i'm trying to achieve, its helped me in teaching young offenders etc. Where i struggle is an egotistical environment where my drive to authenticity ad 'doing the right thing' comes to the fore. I have no trouble articulating but this world doesn't accept compassionate assertiveness.

Thank you so much for sharing this. You may not feel like you're helping, but you are. "The loudest voice is not necessarily the best voice" perfect.

[@merichase2033]

Thank you for being so open about your feelings, your honesty touched me to the core. The truth that can be revealed through struggle is beautiful, it rings in your voice and is wonderful to listen to.

I just spent a weekend with family and through Tuesday. Se personality mainly. None got me. Had to be in my Se so much. Fi hurt. When I am pushy I feel guilt shame and pick up their vibes since it seems to come out as harsh. I am on my 3rd day of recovery and I actually feel broken heart symptoms because I got hurt like being stabbed because of past trauma and having to go through this with 6 people. I actually start acting stupid because my top functions are really blocked. Thy would leave me when I tried to get photos at the zoo. They also would stand in front of me when looking at the animals when I am shorter. But they also did this to other people trying to see so it was not only me. It overpowers me and I have been at this for years and so much toxicity from my ex who taught them no respect and was so verbally hurtful putting them above me. I had to put music in my ears because I felt like I might have a heart attack. Music is what keeps me sane when I have to deal with more than a couple of them. When you get older it is much harder since strength is getting weaker. I go totally lost to all I know about my INFJ and their personalities. Se is my strength for a short time, but then I am almost ill is how weak t becomes. My deep sensitivity has actually caused me chronic issues. I can not weather it like I used to.

[@carmanahwoo]

Thank you so much for this. It came at the right time and I will watch it 100 times because there are so many things that are exactly the answers to the big challenges in my life. Very grateful.

[@danilles.4247]

Can you imagine what the world would be like if it was mostly INFP instead of ESTJ. more harmonious, more chill and probably more simplified.

[@alliarsenic]

Also a lot of less shit getting done!

[@ChaoticallyMe]

Really wise words Erik, I'm going to have rewatch this to fully absorb the message.

[@InTheOpines]

This talk offered some helpful clarity and direction. I really appreciate it, thank you Erik!

[@kemeu_]

Very important message - thank you for this video ! 💕

[@chcktech3072]

You made me cry man !!!

[@ranikster9955]

This is painful to watch. What about those of us, who are not confident? Today I found out someone who is confident was preferred over me, because they were more extroverted. I was utterly disappointed 😥

[@bbjudyfit]

Thank you for sharing ur feelings.

[@bkgk123]

I find value in everything you talk about. Yet I am left with the understanding that sting sensing types will never yield to feeling types and our only option is to walk away. I have gotten so I shut down the best parts of myself when I must be around those types, ie family. I did, however, imagine while listening, some good ways to use my skills within the work situation. There, for example, everyone is a stakeholder and appealing to others on an emotional level can move people and still feel good to the feelers.

[@atlasofthemoon2485]

did someone read the 48 laws of power...its helping me do this very thing. by Robert Greene , btw he is also a IFNP.

[@Istpmom]

Thank you Erik!

[@Jerfinki7264]

This is good.

[@carlac8228]

While I don't agree I can still see sides to it this used to be my Mantra. What happened is I got so beating up with illogical irrational with the phone statements that don't make sense as to why they get my 70 grand child support and I've been kind see and fold a dollar or $20 crumb for years period and then treated with not respect because I should have done more. And I will do more and I'm coming at them. Because I've had enough so when you're 54 I want to see Eric Thor

[@Chefffiie]

Are you from Sweden? :)

[@ErikThor]

yes!
