INFP: Writing Poetry

[@wes2262]

Telling an INFP to do stuff they don’t care about is like giving a 6 yr old a bag of baby carrots on Halloween.

[@Chatoyancify]

He's asking you to eat the honey roasted carrots.

[@unikittyisgr8uwu496]

@Remy B Heck yeah!

[@curielux]

It reminds me of DBT. Practicing mindfulness with less intense things first, to build up to the bigger challenges.

[@Φράνκομαθαίνειελληνικά]

I would prefer the carrots. Lead Ti here :D

[@Shirikatsu]

Funny thing is this extends far beyond things they don't care about. It's more like things that they don't immediately see the positive Fi feeling feedback from. "I'm not going to search for a job because that sucks and working a job sucks. I just want money to play my videos games."

[@moonrise3251]

Interesting ideas. I am an INFP fictional editor, and therefore am seen as someone who must be a writer too. Oddly enough, my writing skills are all over the place. I do better organizing other people’s thoughts than my own. I’ve dabbled in poetry and novel writing, but seem to do best with script writing (wasn’t that the preferred writing form of Shakespeare?), journal-type writing, and children’s stories (think Beatrix Potter)-basically, anything short and less plot driven and more character driven. I have a few okay poetry works, but getting my philosophical mind to be organized is a challenge. Personally, I feel your talent can lie in all spectrums. It is just a matter of what you personality functions bring to that spectrum. For instance, in visual art, INFPs might be better at colors (think Van Gogh) or interior design, fashion-things to manipulate with their Ne. In writing, I notice Nes seem to be more natural at creating out-of-the box stories (think Terry Pratchet), and INFPs lean towards complicated feelings (Emily Bronte) or character driven. That isn’t to say they can’t be good at the other aspects of the skill; it’s just their functions seem to be more natural in different parts of the skill. Thus, it depends on what the person’s external passion and talent lies in. I’ve been drawn to the arts, history, psychology, and animals my whole life. But what I, an INFP, could bring to those things would be different than say my ISTP brother-in-law who is a high school counselor. By the by, this is super taboo and probably annoying to point out, but Rhett Link is most likely not an INFP. I would say he is an INTP. He has more FE vibes than FI. If it helps to have INFP examples, then here are some absolute INFPs that are spread across all art categories: Wes Anderson, Beatrix Potter, Dustin Hoffman (some say he is ENFP, nope he is INFP), Charlie Mackesy, Jewel, Regina Spektor, Wayne Osmond, Tanya Davis (poet), Christina Rossetti, A. A. Milne, Jim Sturgess, Edgar Allen Poe, Charles Bukowski, Isabella Rossellini, etc. Hopefully, there are some in there that aren’t on the normal list.

There's an interesting part when Seinfeld interviews Lewis Black on Comediens Getting coffee where they talk about the "importance" of art. When Black started as a young writer, he said sarcastically it was all about how everything written was the most important thing ever written. Seinfeld agreed that the worst thing a writer can do is put importance on the art. "You're screwed before you even start. Good lesson for INFPs. -INFP

I'm very self focused. Will dominate the conversation with spirituality, personality types, language, and the fact that all humans are somehow distant cousins. I heavily consider and prepare for my life being my 20s then having kids then retiring, then Jesus restoring the world to a heavenly state and getting a lot more shit done for literal eternity. I have a bachelor's degree in songwriting and haven't written much for a long time because I haven't felt like it. I struggle with not fitting in when no one else is interested in my internal world. My research project was about the abstract concept of writers block and how no body should actually have it because there are too many tools to make you move a song along. Last week i took 3 different tests that said i was ESTJ. I'm embarrassed to say I'm that fairy chasing feeling type so I pay for courses on Dream interpretation and personal scripture interpretation so i can say to people this is real shit because a man with a PhD told me the rules. My house is always a mess because I don't care and so I listen to podcasts at the same time as my chores. Maybe I'm an INFP?

[@keelermatt77]

Bit of criticism here: I appreciate your system better than most takes on MBTI, BUT in general, you do not value the power of Fi (Dogs eating icecream has nothing to do with it!). I go to your channel when I want to understand Ti, Te, Si, Se, etc. Because of the predisposition of my type, I don't have a natural understanding of those functions. I work with those types of people, so I benefit from your conclusions, but I also find an undeniable bias against Fi and Ne in your approach. LoveWho understands the value of these so much better...he frames them in terms of ethics. Fi is not a bunch of touchy-feely bullshit, it's a value-based powerhouse that allows us to remember who we are and what we stand for. Religion, poetry, language, art, music, and creative expression wouldn't exist if the entirety of the world were rooted in "the facts" and linear logic. Hearing you guys reason about Fi is like listening to a moose dance about architecture. You just can't do it justice that way. Sometimes the value of a thing does not depend on quantifiable worth, but rather, must be understood for the essence of what it is. FiNe types get this intuitively. You can't understand a Van Gogh painting or appreciate what it truly means to "love your neighbor" through logic. Not really. And Se can't explain the feeling of singing in the chorus of a Mahler symphony. You don't have to understand everything. That's what makes it special.

5:25 Yes. INFP here and I think the biggest thing that causes art block & difficulty finishing creative projects for me is caring too much (getting too precious with them). I've started purposely doing things I 'don't really care about' and that mindset gives me a little distance, I can actually Do The Thing AND I actually end up caring about and loving the project anyway as I progress through it, I just don't feel so possessive and perfectionistic about it.

[@naterussell2910]

As an INFP who is stuck in his head and trying to get back out into the world again, I've decided that trying to "write" your way through the inner-world entrapment would be like an athlete trying to heal a hamstring injury by sprinting every single day. I've decided to stop reading literature and have stopped journaling, and instead have replaced these habits by going to the gym, listening to CT Fletcher while lifting weights, and eating healthy. It's helping to break away at the entrapment because I'm actually really enjoying something that's taking place in the real world where I literally have to be out of the never-ending thought patterns my brain puts on repeat when I'm just sitting alone in my house writing in my journal. For me it's been a really important insight to realize that I'm not as secretly awesome as my INFP brain would have me believe, that everything I've ever put down on paper wouldn't sell for a dime, and also that the real world is actually a pretty cool place when you open yourself up to it. Unfortunately the INFP circuitry still defaults back to its original state when all the stirring action of living has settled back down, and then you feel the return of that hallmark INFP resistance to getting out into the world, even though you know that your experiences have confirmed that it's really beneficial for you to do so. It can just be so strange being INFP, because you know you have it in you to grow as a person and become more present in reality with other people, you crave connection deep within your soul, people like you when you go out and you have a great time, all the connection is sitting and waiting for you already, all you have to do is to keep putting yourself out there and then all the things you write about in your journal and poems will actually come true and you won't have to secretly obsess about them anymore......but then for some reason it always defaults back to wanting to just withdraw from it all. I think the INFP needs to realize that an aspect of our hero's journey is to humble our selves, to realize that we're more like everyone else than we like to think, and to just embrace the fact that we're highly flawed, wonderfully strange human beings who crave love and connection, that everyone else is secretly dealing with the same doubts and insecurities that we are, so nobody wants to hear us just going on and on about it all day long! lol

[@user-el6my6vi7p]

@@MithraSemiramis The evidence for rarity of each type is faulty anyway considering it’s mainly provided by the Myers and Briggs Foundation, the online test of which weighs percentages in the 4-5 dichotomies, not objective typing according to cognitive stack like this channel. So sure, one may acknowledge their type’s rarity in terms of misinformation and lack of such in general, especially when it’s done subjectively by people seeking validation lol. So yes, own the illusion if you’d like but knowing the source will reveal how utterly ridiculous the desire to be “the rarest” really is XD

[@ArasheNorto]

Guys listen, poetry does not mean any emotional stuff that comes to mind. There are meter, rhythm, prose, patterns and structures involved (Ti stuff) and they're even more strictly applied in Middle-Eastern poetry. especially, Persian & Arabic due to the existence of something called Quantitative Meter. So, INFPs definitely aren't these default poets you may think they are; at best, they're word-painters! Since, when it comes to poetry, technicality is a must; emotions come close to second, as they can be synthesized and sympathized as the poet gets more experienced in sentimental manipuation of the reader mind (it might not be what you thought, but as a poet with an educational background in literature, I guarantee you that a poet need not necessarily feel what they write in order to make you feel them too; much like a Hollywood screenwriter). With that being said, a good poet is one who is in the first place, a master of words (in my experience, an ENTP jumper-Ne/Fe, an INFJ with a relatively developed Fi or an ENFP with a developed Ti, if you ask me!) Yes INFPs have unique imagination like no other, but remember: LYRICISM ≠ POETRY! So, to recap, INFPs make great painters, fantasy/romance writers and lyricists. They're specialty is writing in full color with only a black pen. Please don't mistake every emotional writing with poetry :)

[@theJOURNEYTOGODdiaries]

Ok, um… As a member of the INFP community I would like to thank you deeply from my heart! You put all those words and feelings and senses of concepts in my head into strung together, rational sentences, that JUST. MAKES. SENSE. I tried all sorts of jobs and hobbies in my life despite having 2 children (INFP, duh). And the latest conclusion I came up, was - painting is to limiting as a tool, writing can be to overwhelming. But I expected to much from myself when it came to writing. I compared myself to writers how are more of the type, you where talking about. When I allowed myself to think about what I would LIKE to write, instead of what would be “likeble” - it came to me IMMEDIATELY. Romans. Where I put all this made up worlds from my imagination, I wouldn’t be able to put on a painting. I will create those worlds for people, where they can not only dive into, but also co-create it - by filling it with their imagination. The last part of your comment was just about that for me.

[@jefflaurence9957]

I'm beginning to think that either I'm mistyped, or the experts have gotten INFPs wrong, Because the last five or so videos I've watched, well, they seem to describe a miserable internal experience that I just don't feel at all. I don't feel trapped inside myself. It's fun in there. I admit that sometimes I can be a bit of a hermit, actually, I have to watch myself or I'm bound to go a-hermin'. But that's because I'm distracted by the crazy stuff going on in my head. There's no desperation to get out and be something I'm not. I'm an introvert and I'm good with that. I'm not railing against the world. To be straight out honest (and yes, condescending) I think that the human race is pretty slow but I'm kindly disposed towards them. All of them. Because everybody has some gift that no one else has. If there's anything I'd like to change in the world, it would be that everyone gets all the support they need to develop that gift. I don't care what it is, or if I'll like the result. And it doesn't matter to me if it's "important". If your special talent is in making velveteen Elvises, I'll do a little jig in my head every time you make one. On a related note: I don't want the tribe to adopt my values. I want the members of the tribe to adopt Their OWN values, and be given an opportunity to live by them. Not mine. They're mine. Hands off. Come up with your own.The freedom of individuality that I very very much want for myself, I also want for EVERYONE. To me most people seem disinterested in discovering what they actually believe, and that confuses me. I write all the time and I care about what I write too. I post it on the book of Faces and I get twenty likes. I've written over 250 essays in the last two years. Many of them are pastoral, descriptive essays, and some are whimsical. I want them to be interesting and uplifting. They don't feed some gnawing internal need for me to escape myself, 'cause I really don't feel that much. Poems generally come to me when I'm doing something else: grocery shopping, driving, etc. I like the challenge of putting them together in my head. I write them down when I get home, fiddle with them for a few timeless minutes, then post them. I don't know how to judge my essays, how could I? But my friends tell me they're good. And it should be clear that I don't mind talking about my values, 'cause I just P*ssed out several hundred words doing just that. But what I really like is listening to you talk about what YOU care about. And I'll listen. And I'll try to find out where you are emotionally and meet you there. It should be clear that I don't need anyone to believe what I believe. But I've been on this world for some time and I've picked up some good ideas (There's a big wheel in my head that grinds out philosophy and it NEVER stops) And if I can find the words that someone will accept, I love to show them something that'll make their lives better. As themselves. Believing their beliefs. Expressing their best, true selves. That won't be like me. I mean really, yuck, what a waste. To summarize, your take on INFP's, along with most of the youtube blogosphere, gives me a clean miss. What's up with that?

[@jefflaurence9957]

And that I should reply. Whoo, looks like I was pretty worked up there. I think this is what happened: I explored the interwebs to learn perspectives about myself, and I ran into: 1) A video by Erik Thor, who told me I was a slave to my emotions and had a tendency to whine a lot, then 2) C. J. Joseph, who - straight up now - admitted that he had terrible breakups with two infp girls, that we all badly needed an intervention but we'd fight back hard and prolly win, and to watch out because we slash people's tires. I'm not making this up. Slash. Tires. And then I got to this video. So three bad calls and I'm screaming at the umpire. Could you people stop pissing in the dark? It's getting everywhere. … I think that there are two big mistakes here. 1) Don't model other people's saviors on YOUR demons. If you've got Fi in your 4th (or 5th or 7th) spot, it's tempting to take your own experience of the function and project that onto someone else's savior state. It's also wrong. Really, really wrong. And you'll look like an idiot. Because you're ignoring the function and picking up on the weakness and awkwardness instead. It's just as bad as me assuming that Te saviors are ruthless pricks(I've done this, oh yes). No, they're not. That's just me when I try to access Te. Fi is not, in it's savior state, whiny or histrionic. That's coming from you. We're good at this shit. 2) I really wish that they hadn't chosen the word "feelings" to label cognitive functions. It's misleading. It's almost as bad as "intuition". For me Fi is not so much about "how I feel" but "what feels right". Big difference there. One is whimsical, but the other is about ideals. Understanding who I am, what is right, how things should be, those are the driving forces behind my personality. These are driven by my baseline emotions, not whatever random feelings I might be having at the moment. And I'm constantly examining my baseline emotions, so it all works. Tbh, being whimsical sounds more like an Ne thing. Which we also have. Which I, personally, have tons of fun with. The whininess comes not from uncontrolled emotion, but the tension between our ideals and reality. So when I'm venting don't tell me to calm down, tell me that you recognize the wrongness and that you wish you could do something about it. So I guess that's how I see other people miscomprehend infps. To be fair, I think these guys get us better than Thor or Joseph. But I don't think that's saying much. And that subreddit sounds dreary. I think I'l listen to J-pop instead. And it's still quite possible that I'm mistyping myself.

Without your demon you can't be successful. Without Te you won't ever share your work with the world. The success comes from learning to make your demon work in harmony with your savior.

It would be something analogous to going to the gym: starting small at first and then progressing slowly to avoid "injuries" or getting overwhelmed.

Maybe I haven't seen enough of them with like 30 videos, buuut on the other hand already watched 30 videos that were mehhhh. Somehow I prefer Personality Hacker, Frank James and lots of others

I'm not a poet/writer INFP. Unless writing mini essays in KZbin comment section counts.

[@billbirkett7166]

I guess according to your system, you would call me an Fi/Si INFP jumper, which is probably why people often mistake me for being an INTP--I have no problem activating a large amount of Ti when it is assisting my Si, which is extremely active. I memorize population statistics, I know how far everything is to the nearest decimal point from my house, and I am very blessed with natural language learning talent. However I am so bad with Se and executive functioning that it is quite comical. I do use my Ne a lot, don't get me wrong...but with me you can really see that overdeveloped sense of Si that combines with my shadow Ti. All of that made me very academically inclined, but basically physically and socially retarded. Even though I empathize readily with others.

[@luminyam6145]

I just don't get all of this when you just talk about the letters but when you gave the very concrete example of the yardwork, it clicked. This is so much like religious/atheist concepts. I was indoctrinated as a child and my atheist sons have to explain the concepts using concreted examples.

[@chantalvanderleek2983]

I think do things you care about INFPs is much better advice. Do them more!!! In this world we are already having to do so much we dont like as INFPs. Just know that the world can never care about your creative works as much as you do. So just accept that and then off you go. Fly little butterfly...FLY!!

[@dasytaylor]

why would you want to not care? how does that help you solve the problems in the outside world?

[@jasonwilkerson9497]

I totally get the not caring about what people say. It's a good way to practice, so that we're able to extrovert our values/ideals. It's when we're too ideal Fi that we romanticize our misery or complain about the demon Te with our writing. INFPs need to practice explaining ideas to the world and feel like we can build, recognize things, and want to do things that might not even occur to others. The really wanting to (even if we get a little bit of our asses kicked by annoying tribe critics) vs. defending/protecting is so hard, but can make the biggest difference. That's the thing. How do we break it down to people, knowing that at least some people will get you, which is a whole lot better than being completely isolated and not expressing ourselves.

[@awatt6088]

so for ISFP is it gathering sensory information instead of facts as in stuff I read in a book? I keep thinking when it says details and facts on Myerrs briggs it means information... not sensory info... i am very in my head and very creative my room isn't a mess all the time... it's very expressive of who I am and I like to read about things to figure out questions I have

[@brennenhrebeniuk9661]

I believe myself to be an ENFP Ne-Te PB/C(S) I have a hard time with emotions and my negative emotions at least in the past have been experienced through anger which I think is masculine Fi. I definitley have emotions and am very sensitive to external emotional influence but have a hard time processing emotions so I found that poetry is the number 1 outlet for my emotions when im overwhelmed in life.

[@nethercords]

underdeveloped NE is why we get trapped in our heads, which has a hard time developing because we fear breaking habits that have served us well for so long and as we age these habits become redundant and begin to work against us in order to thrust into this new threatening environment that weve been avoiding all along. once weve seen the outside world and put it into a context that fits our grand design then we can integrate and grow these functions that have been starved for so long.

[@SoniaJbrt]

I'm INFP and love writing poems.

[@Xandliear]

I do poetry and if anything I want to share my thoughts and experiences. I have a blog and I also write in my notebook. It can be a very cathartic process and it seems somewhat necessary in a way. Oh and I try to balance both the "tribe" and my own interests. Plus at work I can be rather playful and quite a bit extroverted... do I always stay in the moment? Not quite but I am more in the moment than what you may except. Yeah it is an interesting time in my brain noodle!

[@Uvvibes]

What I want to know is what did all the IN types do before the internet?

[@keanu-sama8378]

I thought I was an intj, maybe not. I'm pretty sure I use Ne above thinking the thing is that emotionally I am most often all on or all off, there is some middle ground, usually I'm just meh. I do think that I lead with my values.

[@hannahl8]

When talking about Rhett you showed a picture of Link. Could you please clarify which types each of them are? Thanks

[@tamann7]

How do you do stuff you don't care about. When I care, no one can stop me and no one can get in my way. If I don't care getting around to it might take a while.

[@ibanezmonsterg]

Life will force you to spend more time using Te rather than Fi anyways, so probably is advice that would only be relevant for a small percentage of people.

[@PRoseLegendary]

I'm not sure what type I am. Leaving toward one of the NF types, I feel more introverted, but I care TOO MUCH about EVERYONE. So telling me to go do something I don't care that much about for people I don't care that much about? What is this concept of not caring about someone? Well, I mean I don't really care about THINGS like keeping my house clean... My only motivation for doing the housework is because I care about the PEOPLE I do it for.

[@aleronzacchaeus4175]

o.o I think what they meant was that, give the Fi space to breathe, rather than always engaging at at 100% all the time (which causes emotional responses to almost every situation) and if you're always so emotionally affected by everything and lashing out at everyone, who'd be willing to talk to you, if you're gonna be so upset all the time? But judging from your statement, it might be that you are doing Fe (instead of Fi, which might be your dom). :shrug: complicated stuffs

[@awatt6088]

Are you saying Fi Si is not as expressive emotionally because they are kept to themselves? I like to talk to people share my feelings and thoughts on things I have thought about and I can be expressive. I'm more in my head though I play GEEtar piano write songs that have a lot of metaphors and symbolism and quotes

[@thesevenkingswelove9554]

Can Anyone Explain How You Can Have An Fi/Ni INFP ? I Know I Can Trade Functions, But That Doesn't Seem Optimal

[@tarikalakkad2005]

That would be an ISFP jumper. That is respecting Ni more than Se. An INFP is either Fi/Ne or Fi/Si.

[@prayerblack]

@@tarikalakkad2005 Thanks 🤔 This May Explain Why I Workout, Play Music, Have Specific Intuitive Insights And Meditate ..But It Doesn't Explain Why My Memory Is Still Lacking But I've Gotten The Most Growth From Developing Ne 👆🏼 Are You Saying We Jump Back And Forth ?

[@tarikalakkad2005]

Prayer Black Well the function stack of an ISFP jumper would be Fi, Ni, Se,Te. Basically jumping over the second function, Se, and using the third, Ni as a savior instead. If that is you then your intuitive function is Ni and not Ne. However, it’s not impossible for you to use Ne it is just that Ni comes to you much more naturally. Your memory, on the other hand, could be determined by the masculinity/femininity of your observer functions. This channel has some videos detailing it all. My memory is beyond poor and a 3 hour test with my Psychiatrist lead to the same results as these videos determined. Very accurate I really recommend them.

[@prayerblack]

@@tarikalakkad2005 Well Thanks For You Sincere Reply 🙏🏼 I Enjoy There Content A lot, But Don't We All Prefer Our Third Function ? I've Learned That To Just Be Comfortable Not Growing, And Have Learned That To Be Defensive From Personality Hacker's Car Model Explaination

[@tarikalakkad2005]

@@prayerblack As an INFP I can relate. It is comfortable dwelling on the 3rd function, Si but I know eventually I gotta move my butt XD I wouldnt say all prefer the 3rd function but more like prefering Si over-all cause it feels safe. I'm not an expert about ISFP but I know it is a different dynamic than INFP on the term of Si and comfort-zone.
