INFPs care (and give a f*ck)

Just a ramble in nature.
The subtle art of not giving a f*ck was not a great book, especially if you care too much as an INFP.
Here is an old video about my stance on buddhism. My views have changed a bit but the gist is still something i believe is true:
• Detachment from emotio...

Hey Ingrid, So lovely here...nature, hat, dress...embodying spring in all it's glory. Like the Basho line: "Sitting quietly, doing nothing, Spring comes, and the grass grows, by itself." I've been recommended that book before, maybe since I've often been told I care too much...perhaps to see how the other half lives...I dunno. Your friend sounds very sweet and understanding of your introversion. Always a blessing. ☺ -Carm

Oh that's a lovely quote! ☘️🌱 and yes my friend is lovely as well! 😊 it is beautiful to care, i don't want to trade that for the world

💙🌻🐛🐝🪲🐞 Forgive me as usual if I delete this comment later, but just wanted to say thank you! Your hat is lovely and so is the setting (can relate to the sunburn issue, sorry you have to worry about that too--time in nature is worth it, but nature can hurt!). It's been a weird day of paperwork and crying, but seeing you embracing the beauty of spring helped a lot. You're right, INFPs do give a f*ck. Often we give too much of a f*ck, and it can lead to us sometimes shutting down and appearing from the outside to not give a f*ck at all, when really the opposite is happening. I worry about all the pain on my channel last year negatively affecting INFPs for that reason (I'll try to share more positive this year if I keep it going). Seeing all the unnecessary suffering in the world and feeling helpless to do anything about it is so painful and miserable, it's easy to just turtle up in one's shell (maybe not to the extent I have...but so many of us self-isolate to some degree as a defense). There's some quote..."Inside every cynical person is a disappointed idealist"...I think that describes INFP emotional overwhelm and eventual shutdown pretty well. I don't avoid the news because I don't care, but because I've had devastating mental breakdowns just from watching the news. However, we can regenerate ourselves and renew our sense of hope through the simplest joys (the blue jays in my backyard just had babies!), and this is why I say INFPs are stronger than they appear to be. Thank you again.

🦖 Hey Bufo, thanks for posting your secretive comments lately. And wow so good, they are still up 😊 A short show-up that, well, I'm still there in the background. You INFPs rock 😂

Hi Bufo thanks so much for commenting! 😊 i was afraid to reply and that you would delete your comment after that, because it is so lovely. I'm sorry you are having such tough days, but I'm glad to convey a feeling of spring 😊🌷 We give many f*cks and that is good and healthy. Don't worry about seeming negative, i am trying to leave the stigma of spreading negativity behind. So i do post negative videos and try to do so without shame, but only those videos where i feel it is not detrimental to my own mental health. When we are hurt we need to protect ourselves through some degree of self isolation, because the world is all too much. Thank you,again for commenting, you gave no ismdea how happy i am to,see you in the comments! 😊🥰

You started out sounding really American, then you said it was really hot and your accent completely flipped LOL. I originally thought I was INFP for a while and then I took the test again for a psychology course and it told me I was INFJ

[@radishraven9]

Haha well the tests aren't reliable. My mom is american but i have lived in france and sweden only so i guess i got a mix.

I can tell you right now that I am currently going through a divorce and with the middle east and other atrocities going on I am giving so many Effss in my life that I am emotionally spent... I am doing what I can with what life has presented me but it is draining me to the point of numbness. I have been like this before years ago when I was in burnout from a job I worked in for 13 years. This is a different kind of stress and I know I will get through this. I have lost who I thought was my life partner at 47 but I still have my own life ahead of me and maybe someone else will find me one day when the time is right. Being a male INFP has it's own set of challenges and unique experiences which sometimes conflict with society's expectations of what a man should be and act like.... I have gotten to the point where I am being un-apologetically myself. If you can't love and accept me as I am and for who I am without thinking that I need to be more masculine, assertive organized etc then I can't help you cuz I am how I am. I can't become an ESTJ and I am happy with how I am thanks very much. Take care dear sister. Thank you as always for sharing your experiences. Love to you and yours

[@radishraven9]

Oh im sorry you're going through a tough time 😔 stay strong, and thanks for the support!

[@vondelpete]

Again it looks so nice where you are! Yeah I think sometimes it is good to read books that you don't agree with, INFPs especially I think are quite good with that - taking in this perspective and then assessing it. I've contemplated reading that same book but I worried that it would end up over-simplifying things - and also yeah, I kind of enjoy giving a f*ck (even if I just use it for material on YT lol). Good luck with everything this month!

[@radishraven9]

Thank you! Yes don't read it if you want to give a f*ck 😅

[@sicparvismagna1294]

Hello Ingrid, It's nice to see again in nature. Thanks for sharing your opinion. Honestly if I were I would have hesitated to read this book because it seems that I care too much about many things but I see your point. Recently I've tried to discover about new things that seemed opposite to me and it sometimes good to do so. Sorry but I'm not really sure about saying suffering is part of living this is valid only for some reasonable or necessary pain but it's certainly not valid for the rest of the cases. Also I'm not really sure about always saying ' it was worth it ' ... Sorry again I hope it didn't make you upset. That's nice and kind from your friend. Thanks again and have a good evening Ingrid.

Hi sic don't be sorry! I'm kind of being sarcastic, i don't really believe we must suffer and i believe a lot of suffering is unnecessary. It was just funny to me that i was getting stung by insects but felt so alive because i was out in nature. The book i read is kind of subscribing to buddhism, which says that life is suffering, so we must accept that. I personally don't really believe in the buddhist ideas. I made a video about that maybe 2 years ago about attachment to emotions infp vs infj where i go more into detail.

[@sicparvismagna1294]

Hi Ingrid, Thanks for replying for your kind words. It's some heartwarming to hear I'm not the only who feels or think so. I understood what you meant and you are right it's just that my relationship with pain is not good at all... Thanks for the clarification. Oh interesting, do mind putting a link to the video you mentioned about emotions ? Thank so much Ingrid. It may sound weird your replies mean alot me and believe it or not I'm having watery eyes writing this comment.
