To be an INFP who is able to stand their ground, even if they are not in a situation where their values are actively being challenged, means to be an INFP who has finally figured out how to be as steadfast an advocate for themselves as they are for others. And I promise you, fellow INFP’s, you can definitely get there

I have reach this stage. Even if I still feel guilty when I said NO but I forced myself to say NO. If people cut line when I queue I forced myself to let them know that I’m not okay with it. Sometimes you need to be in uncomfortable situation for your own benefit. Being too kind sometimes not good for yourself, I was too kind and tried to avoid any conflict before and I end up getting bullied. To avoid getting bully in the future I change myself to be tougher and stronger.

[@raphilos]

-SORRY FOR THE WALL OF TEXT- In a positive note, that was exactly what helped me the most. To acknowledge and validate what is important to others greatly improved my communication. I hated when people dismissed my feelings as if they weren't there, but didn't noticed I was doing the same thing almost out of spite, since we tend to get invalidated first with our dreamy stuff. However, when I treated people feelings and values as important as mine, I was able to build trust and navigate their worlds, which in turn made them A LOT more receptive to my ideas. It's not like I need to fully agree with their whats and whys, but if I imagine something like "ok, if X for this guy is as important as Y is to me, how would I feel if I were him?", suddenly it feels easier to be empathetic. And hey, that's a person with the same rights on this Earth as me, so who am I to say that what is right or wrong anyway? For example, my mom is probably an ESFJ, and almost everything she cares about are things I don't care for and vice-versa, especially social stuff. Once, she asked me if she was properly dressed for a country show in a stadium, with boots and everything, and I was like "????? YOU PAID FOR THE TICKETS DRESS ANYWAY YOU WANT" because I would put a black t-shirt, jeans and I'm good to go, no fucks given, that's what I like. But that's the point. To blend is important to her. People's opinions are important to her. And there's nothing I can do because that's who she is. But when I acknowledge that, respect her wishes and sprinkle my opinion in a way to counter the problem I'm seeing (in this case, putting other people thoughts above her own fun), the conversation goes a lot smoother. "Hey, I can help you choose an outfit, and I think it's important that you feel comfortable and have fun. Even though boots are cool, it'll be a really long and hot day, so what about a more light and casual, even modern country look with shoes?" is probably what I would have said today. And this type of approach is making people more authentic around me, since as I'm being inclusive with their wishes and opinions, they feel more confortable and at peace with being themselves (which I LOVE), instead of just doing what I say is right because I felt so. (which is a big INFP problem but that's talk for another day lol) So, yeah. It is work, it is tiring, and society generally don't care about stuff we care about. Sometimes it even feels like it doesn't make sense at all. But at the end of the day, we need to play the game as it is, because there's no other reality and we all share it. HOWEVER, the game doesn't always need to be the same, and to give it a bit of weirdness, generosity, fun and authencity is probably the thing we're most capable of xD And at least in my experience, it may not seem like it, but people fucking notice and love it.

[@pimladac7939]

Yeah, many times I have to tell myself “nobody caresss” when my imagination creates too much doubt. It seems to be true many times so far.

[@bluaaahhhh]

This has lead me to be so tired of people to the point of not even trying and then finding me annoyingly indifferent

[@aureliaavalon]

True. It takes a core of steel and a heart of gold to commit to a positive, dreamy exterior in a dark and dreary world like this. My friends always say I look like I'm off to fairyland in my own head, but there are those who talk to me and realise I'm a bit mentally stronger than the impression I give off. They observe and they question why I never did this or that, despite everyone else doing it or expecting me to have done it. It's not about sheep mentality, it's simply respecting my own values and boundaries by committing to those values where it truly counts. The rest leave it to chance, fate, miracles and hard work. If you adhere to lovely principles, surely you'll be received with lovely people as well. Give in kind and get it back maybe even tenfold.

In my experience an INFP can become extremely harsh and cold when they feel pushed. I as an INFJ will door slam when a relationship has gone so far that I fear accomodating anymore would break me but an INFP might not just leave but dump all of their mistrust fuelled by their unspoken frustration and accumulated resentment on you before they disappear which can leave you really feeling like absolute and utter shit. Wouldn't ever want to get on the bad side of an INFP.

[@LadyDragonbane]

I think you're correct about that. For me as an INFP the last drop may take years to come, but when it does I'm out

[@crumbcake8344]

As an INFP-T You made me realize that yeah, when someone pushes my bounderies, in revenge, I ghost them, I avoid them at all costs (without letting them know, of course. I wouldn't want them to feel bad and apologise for something they probably don't even know they did, then I would also feel bad and apologize and have to explain why I'm apologizing then she might apologize for the reason I'm apologing cause out of the few weeks I've known her that is 100% what she would do. It would be so awkward...). But then again I wouldn't want to ruin my relationship with them so I might talk to them every once in a while if I ever feel like we're falling too far apart... Feelings are so complicated when you put them into words, but it makes a lot more sense in my head-

Thank you for another brilliant video on INFPs, Ben! Yes, we can give up so many things for others but if it's something related to our values or if it is something or someone we value, then nothing can make us give up on that. No manipulation, no threat, literally nothing! Adding to this our impractical nature, we will end up standing up to literally anyone or anything not caring about the outcome. So, though we are extremely empathetic and sensitive, we still can be extremely strong and immovable! Tender yet strong!

I know that people are build to connect, I wanted to connect too but Im fast to see the true nature of people and again leaving me no choice but leave people behind because I can see the abuse they do to me. They say infp are generous but im not. 😅😅😅 i would literal cut off or stay away from people who make friends with me but in exchange for me making assignments/ making me an atm/people who have too much arrogance and superiority in them that stresses me out. I know they would trample me anyways if they have traits like that. Its logical to be called selfish and not generous then. I really do wish sometimes the best for people to be nice , that would make the world a better place really.

What a lovely video; I found it very motivating! For me, in addition to seeing a therapist, one thing that helped me start setting healthy boundaries was my husband, who is an ESTP. He really helped me learn to stand up for myself with toxic people I used to tolerate by giving them the benefit of the doubt and feeling empathy for those who weren’t empathetic towards me. He taught me a bit about how to defend myself, and sometimes he would even defend me or handle those difficult conversations that I didn’t like to have. I think thanks to him, I also learned to stand up for myself more and express my thoughts without so much fear, although I still don't reach his level, haha. He can still seem a bit too harsh at times, but I think we’ve both helped each other in that regard, and he has also become kinder, more patient, and tolerant over time.

I'm definitely a jaded and cynical INFP. I've encountered many people who seem decent and turn out to be anything but, or I've idealized others in my head and found out they're flawed human beings like all of us, and it was my bad for trying to romanticize them. Setting boundaries, maintaining your morals and having self-respect will most often seem be the right decision. There are times I have "bent" because I want others to be happy, but I won't bend to something that gives me a bad gut feeling or clashes with my core beliefs.

Thank you haha I agree too with your points, as a fellow INFP I am working on being honest with myself which includes stopping people pleasing and to take time for myself. I tried the people pleasing method once way too far and neglected my needs which resulted in me exploding at everyone and everything that I shut myself out to sort everything in order for a long period of time. Re-discovered my values and now learning not to make that same mistake again, I don't know who taught me that taking care of myself is being selfish and why I believed it, but I do know now that it's even more selfish to care for others while in a state of tiredness and inauthenticity. Ever heard the advice to not save a drowning person if you can't swim but instead call the professionals? Yeah that got me thinking... If I genuinely want to help others, I better bring my 1000% daily and prepare that state of 1000% to the fullest, work hard rest hard since I am only human so why should I feel guilty for being tired and needing a deep rest once in a while? May all my fellow INFPs who felt this burn out to rest when you need, life is precious and you must always remember to help yourself first before you can help others. The blind cannot lead the blind, you'll just find yourself dragging others into a hole you did not see.

Whatever it is in any case, panic doesn't do anything but muddle up your brain and spirit, however life goes it goes anyhow, so... intuition is absolutely to be listened to oftentimes perhaps, sure, half the time my intuition is just simply telling me I'm overexerting focus or worry on things that're just depleting my energy in the long run, and that's important, buuuut persisting obsessive anxiety is often just wasted energy in of itself all to no real end goal, and it tricks you no matter what the real issue is or isn't (not that that knowledge always magically makes it go away I know lol, but as a general rule, I've discovered this over and over again for the last 4 years.)

The irony is that we attribute to "kindness" some characteristics that diminish the power of kindness. I firmly believe that true kindness has nothing to do with passivity. For example tolerance, passive patience, not saying no, putting others' needs first are not true kindness to me anymore because they stem from a place of insecurity. Just some thoughts from an INFP who has been bored of interconnecting of being Kind to being Comfortable to others.

infp, and yes i am the biggest pushover, sure i can stand up for myself every once in awhile, but you full well know im crying 5 minutes later.

[@1Green_Firefly]

I was personally never a pushover, because even when I saw other people's side I wanted them to know how to treat people (me included). Even though I snap a lot I still have a pacifist mindset and I regret a lot of times when I snapped like this.

[@ivseo9670]

I'm in my disappointment phase after 5 days of trying to understand and be optimistic then falling sick, now I feel called out 😅

[@alonespirit9923]

"You've got a better chance of convincing a cat to take a bath" 😄 Very relatable.

[@kazeryu17]

The thing people dont understand about INFP'S is that we can be like John Wick. We want to enjoy our lives, and we are willing to make some compromises to do that, but if you kill our dog or cross our boundaries, we are more than happy to put our lives on the back burner to make you pay, and the thing is that we wont just swing at you blindly like others. We will plan. We will pool our resources. We will go through every possible scenario in our minds. You just gave our lives a new purpose, and that purpose is to make you pay. It may take us a while to get there, but when we finally execute our plans, things tend to go off without a hitch. We dont jump into every battle, but we tend to win the ones we do pick. If you push an INFP'S buttons, your playing russian roulette.

[@second_second_]

Hi, Benjamin. Thanks for making these videos. I feel like crying, because i feel like finally being understood. Always troubled about indecisiveness, but seeing other people has almost no trouble about it, makes me feel like "is there something wrong with me..?" and frustrated

[@bushramohamed7453]

I've had a hard time with boundaries, just because I'm nice people think it's okay to take advantage of me, but I don't like playing the victim I will set clear boundaries, I know it's my fault

[@ianwilliams4480]

The bully example is me. It was a good thing I went to school in an age when teachers turned a blind eye to the bullies getting a taste of their own medicine with seconds and thirds.

[@4rchim]

as INTP who sometimes have the INFP mode I really understand this video. For daily social interaction I'd came off as an INFP so I could really relate to this. And that's how I'd describe my social life. I love writing poem from time to time but usually I'm more like the math theory guy lmao.

[@unluckystaar]

Me too but not the poem part XD I feel like an info most of times I love infps!

[@emmajean-ub6sh]

It’s not possible to have an infp mode. You are one type and it doesn’t change.

[@Rrrrrrrrr107]

just tried of this sensitivity in some days. you know what matters what to do what to keep in mind all that values inside, but the hard part is our depth of feelings. imagine depression episode so deep because its INFPs

[@AliseBrenae]

As an infp,I loved the video

[@vixx07]

I also pretend to be oblivious about things lol. I don't really know why, but I guess it's because at some point I found it advantageous in one aspect, like acting oblivious or dense than I really am to see people's reactions, what they would do, and it's just honestly kind of entertaining to me. Plus sometimes I really just can't deal with social cues that ate being sent to me so I just act like I don't quite get it for no reason at all. Now everyone thinks I'm really oblivious, especially to kinda kinky-rated stuff or hidden social cues within the group and stuff. Like that one time where I feel like my crush is flirting with me in her own INTP way, but I just act oblivious to it and make her flustered by also reciprocating, in a seemingly "casual" way lmao. It's really entertaining

[@vultirR]

im INTP(i think) but i relate to this.

[@MM-TheEnd]

I'm an infp with extreme empathy to animals, which causes a lot of trouble to the humans that live around me. I just can not set boundaries with animals, whether they're strays, neighborhood birds or other people's pets. They end up overtaking my life to the point that I can't leave the house for more than a few hours, nevermind taking holidays. I also spend quite a bit on them. Somebody please help!!

[@artbyjazzjuh8086]

Love your videos 😂❤

[@Lara71356]

Thanks this video helped me clear my mind. From an INFP.

[@olgahein4384]

0:34 I feel called out. Cant decide if i should keep watching or not helpl

[@KikaBea123]

I did not expect this video to hit as hard as it did

[@lilari6146]

I'm apparently either an INFJ or INFP. These things are always quite entertaining.

[@Taichientaoyin]

I dont want to yield! I dont want to yield! I dont want to give up any of my dreams ! Says my heart every time I talk about duty and responsibility and working to put food on the table.😢

[@JJCELES-qs8od]

Yoooo Creating something out of madness and negativity is just so INFP, I remember creating 10+ stanza long poem and 10 page diary from what I feel and What I wanna do to them and myself, its better to just write it down than actually doing it Also the Silent treatment was my main weapon when I'm extremely got hurt and mad,

[@ianrandolph6436]

We're the opposite of 'All bark, no bite'.

[@phoenixxsoul]

Fi-Si convergent type aka the INFP, is very tough and stoic typically ❤

[@d159inu]

6:10 INFP’s can go for your emotional jugular if they’re pushed far enough, but probably feel bad for you to do so 😭😂

[@yayalu8650]

Nice animations! Good idea for better KZbin retention

[@Cookie-vo6qd]

I'm infp, I'm really a pushover... lol.. but one time one of my classmate really push my limit that I really lush out, even my friends and teacher were shock cuz they though I have pretty long patience..people find me a good person because I'm generous and can't say no.. hahaha, how ironic. They didn't know that I am literally badmouthing them inside of my mind. 😂

[@aiiiia9971]

As an INFP this video feels oddly uplifting bduwsd

[@thepoetandtheprimrose3790]

I love this; thanks for hyping me up lol

[@rpaafourever7908]

Shushh.. don't let the secret out 🤭 but in all seriousness, people probably do get this about us but more at a subconscious level. There's a baseline level of respect infps always seem to get due to this realization.

[@kieamonarch6430]

im an enfp and u be hittin every part of me even still SIGHHHHH

[@skkhwtl8717]

as an infp, i get a bit annoyed when people refer to us as the "cry baby" type. we have lovely things to offer(idk if i sound too egocentric) apart from being emotional beings(which i actually consider that it is a really nice treat to have). it also kind of exhausts me how people get so tired of me easily because i take everything, literally everything, very personally. you just need to give me some time to get comfortable and PLEASE dont push me away because im too sensitive or too quiet sometimes. im trying my best.

[@meloncaulii]

i love you 😭

[@1alexander16]

I like to call it reckless optimism

[@kamellie9]

Amazing 😄 Thank you!

[@KurosakiRuka]

As an INFP I can confirm that i am conflict avoidend and an empath but push me to the limit and there is no redemption for you and i'm blinded by my rage.

[@Meimei-ff7sh]

I love this video ❤

[@stardewofpyrrhia4381]

0:26 _whips my head to the right_

[@luminyam6145]

I used to be a pushover at work but I am an old INFP and when we mature we don't take any nonsense. I speak up now. I have very high boundaries and woe be tide the person who tries to cross them. I have a wicked temper and I tell them like it is.

[@user-of4kk4in9f]

😂John Lennon was a classic EXTROVERT in every way -- an ENFP who, while full of ENFP amazing IDEAS, he lacked the profundity necessary of INFPs.

[@user-of4kk4in9f]

@@squirrelsyrup1921 like literally every ENFP I know

[@vemrith]

Funny how you think ENFPs are not deep enough. Sounds entitled

[@user-of4kk4in9f]

@@vemrith no, just smart and profound.

[@user-of4kk4in9f]

@@vemrith o and BTW 'the term 'entitled' refers to race and economic theory, not intelligence. You're being prejudiced at worst, uneducatrd at best. I am entitled - in the sense I am ENTITLED to think and speak whatever I want. Go back to school.

[@flowwithspirit]

LOL ❣️ thank you ❤

[@suhareb9252]

For the pushing core values One of my friends tried to hook me up with her friend just because I'm single and when I politely said no she said since I'm single I should accept no matter and try to and she went on to send my number I loathed her for about a week and didn't talk to her or text her. And this video made me realize how harsh I can get 😅

[@kookiesfriend]

when you truly wake up as an INFP it's great. You can switch off some things that make you seem like a doormat

[@i_am_processing_]

2:57 - huh, do i really look like that when I'm angry?

[@SirajKhan-es7zd]

As an INFP , this is so relatable lol
