This was a first pass. I think it's enough to spot an INFP, but I'll make another, more in-depth pass once I've learned more.
If you have any further insight, please let me know--I learned INFPs by osmosis, not study, so your experiences will help flesh out my understanding as well as viewers'.

I'm kind of late but the "saying something stupid" part is so good. Usually I say something extremely illogical as a joke (because I think its funny how illogical it is.) and people don't realise its a joke and think that Im serious. They either get awkward and explain what they meant, don't respond, or get angry because I said something stupid (especially if I 'accuse' them of something). I often say something that makes sense to me and a few days later I realise "crap they could've thought I meant ___ ". Sometimes I say something that makes sense to me, I think it's clear enough to others and don't explain it further, and get bit a few minutes later when they won't listen to me becuase they see me as an idiot.

Dude this happens to me all the time it's SO embarrassing 😞 and then I also basically wonder why they're not playing along (because I was trying to "play") which makes me wonder if I'm insane & they can tell & that's why whatever I said didn't get the good reception I was expecting. THEN I wonder if this makes me narcissistic. THEN I wonder why I even bothered to speak at all. When will I learn my lesson and go live in a cave somewhere?😭 Etc. The amount of times I think I must have been misunderstood or come off as rude/weird/mean when I was feeling very much the exact opposite are impossible to count and it almost haunts me. -INFP

You are very observant. As an INFP, I definitely relate to the conversation part. I can do small talk, but if it stays "safe" and at surface level i get hired and will grow tired of the conversation and person. I want to talk about crazy ideas, stories, theories, music, politics, and controversial topics. I hyper focus on many weird things like video game lore, history, zoology, and art. I can talk to anyone for hours about these odd topics, normal conversation doesn't interest me. I want to hear your weird thoughts and ideas! You did a great job if describing female INFPs. I put that thread out and if you choose to unravel it I am %100 ready for a great conversation. Also relate to being cool and detached but also socially awkward and rambling about nonsense. I think INFPs like socializing, being out in nature, trying new things, participating in important events, etc. It's what we want, but its also difficult for us. We don't want to be in charge, but want to be a part of something.

Had a co-worker that was an INFP-T. Down to actually taking the test, because he perplexed me a bit, and I introduced him to the website on a slower day. He was silly, but a hard worker. Had very odd quirks, but always caught a strange balance between that professional appearance and perfectly neutral corporate speak by the register, then quickly change with peers to a guy that would proudly blurt out Spy Kids quotes (making sure you knew it was from Spy Kids too). If you dared to talk of trivia/shows/actors further, it would go down into looking up movie page facts. He'd quickly break out the phone for bigger topics, and hearing that analyzed here kinda gave me a good laugh remembering all the times that happened with this guy. Unfortunately, the "spikey" side seemed to come out from their terrible family situation, and he wasn't afraid to channel that energy into edgy jokes about his parents or life troubles in the same energy as his goofy quotes. I could get used to that as just him being himself, but I've seen the physical discomfort others had whenever those darker parts came out. We miss the guy now that he moved, but it was pretty clear it was good for him to do so. This personality type can indeed be a bit of a strange one, and I feel like I'd never "find it" if not for working close with one, so its interesting to wonder the nuances with each individual case I don't know of out in the wild.

This video has some good observations, i dont like all of them but they are true. However, what you said at the end about not wanting an INFP to be close to your heart since it seems dangerous got me thinking. While all the observations made here are valid, they all seem to have been made from an outside perspective. Seems to me they were made from watching INFPs in social and group settings, and not by 1 on 1 personal interaction. So if im not wrong, youre mind theory of INFPs is somewhat correct, but incomplete. Judge a chimp by how well it can swin, a fish by how well it can climb and an INFP by how he acts in group settings. I have an INTP friend, and i love talking to him. I enjoy the style of interaction where i only throw out a statement and he proceeds to endlessly rant and i all i need to do is listen. Yes we are spikey, and personally i feel like i can see through almost everyone i meet. so if i wanted to hurt them it would be easy. but a healthy INFP wont take advantage of that ability.

My wife is an INFJ so the conflict between Fi and Fe has definitely been a common one in our relationship. My spikes really come out when I feel an injustice has occurred and it doesn’t even have to be directed at me, I just immediately hold a sense of resentment towards the individual that crossed that line and even if im trying to be calm and diplomatic in resolving the issue my wife always tells me she can sense I’m pissed off and that everyone else can too but most people just don’t know what to make of it or why because im smiling to their face but all the comments I make to or about the person have an undertone of venom that Im not intending to use. It makes her Fe very uncomfortable. But at the same time there will be situations where she’s really trying to navigate keeping the peace and I come into the situation and I am just floored watching her scramble to deescalate the conflict which I sometimes strongly feel hasn’t been escalated far enough. Usually whenever get the time to sit down and talk through things we can see the point of view of the other person and everything begins to make sense but in those moments things get pretty tense with our conflicting approaches of caring about people.

As an INFP, a majority of what you talked about is true. One thing that did come to mind was when you stated that INFPs would go on rambles and share and recommend their personal niches. Almost a week ago, I had my friend watch American Psycho since I enjoyed it a lot. Even though halfway he did seem to stop watching it, I continued to finish the majority of it. Same thing occurred when he agreed to watch an episode of Evangelion. Another was when I went to a family friend's house and showed a video essay on Shin Megami Tensei IV. So there is definitive proof that we go off the rails when we zone to our interests.

As an INFP who knows several other INFPs, this is accurate. I like the descriptor of spikey. Never had a word for it till now; and oftentimes I think it’s just coming to the end of energy for that specific interaction. On the flip side, I’m also very warm and have been described as very warm by several people I feel safe with and energized by.

I'm an infp and i feel bad that people may be thinking having one close to my heart seems dangerous and not a good idea. Because we literally stay up all night crying and thinking about how much we hope we're not hurting people and hoping that all our friends can grow and be happy. I think we do get spiky but it's almost like a compulsive reaction to like feeling tht( our values are being trespassed) which to me is like someone cutting down our eywa tree like in avatar. it's usually not going to be about dumb shit unless we notice other people are trying to manipulate us or use us subtly and they may not think we catch it because we seem all bubbly and dumb, but once i notice that the spikes come out and im donzo. ig idk. I started realizing I made other people uncomfortable in my life fairly recently. And with the people i care about the most I really hope to grow softer, even softer than i already feel like I'm trying my best to be. But I also feel like they say dumb hurtful shit to me and don't think twice about it so when it comes to the serious stuff why shouldnt I make a stand for what I believe in. At least I;m not making comments about how stupid they look when they get excited about the things they buy and enjoy like others do to me when I get excited about the weather being nice or a song I like. You see what I mean? Like to me this consideration should go both ways. But maybe my spikeys to others affect them differently than their subtle burns that I wish didn't exist at all. also I like saying the most random shit because I noticed it makes my friends laugh and often that's usually the goal to help them feel better or to just laugh but even that can be misunderstood as me genuinely being dumb or annoying because from my pov I'm just trying to bring something new or funny to the table for everyone to enjoy

I'm sorry 😥👹 Btw as a female INFP the reason we say stuff and then suddenly clam up is probably just insecurity. I do it because I'm afraid if I say much more, all the crazy will spill out and then I'll go on a long-winded rant about stuff nobody cares about and put my foot in my mouth and people will start to avoid me. INFP culture I guess?! Also that discipline/being part of an organization boner thing is SO real. Bullseye...🎯 🧸🧸🧸

When I was younger I'd do the 2nd mode with non response when someone's intrigued just to play around with their minds. We live in our heads and this was a mental play date game for me. I'd eventually respond with something like, " I've moved on to another subject now. What? " Also I'll have to be more mindful around my Fe friends if I do this. Had no idea. Thanks for your insights.

Hi! Miss INFP, here to add more insight on your takes and foster an understanding between you and INFPs. You seem confused and off-put about INFP ways and methods, maybe even wary. I’ll do my best to deepen your explanation of INFPs, reasons we do things, and what our intentions are. Although these are my experiences, I hope they help you understand the INFPs in your life. INFPs excel in nonverbal communication. Many of us express ourselves indirectly which is often through artwork. This includes writing, painting, music, and, lesser known, fashion. I do like dressing in “muted calm palettes’’ with “flat, dark, and earthy tones with a little bit of warm patterning.” For myself, one reason is that it’s easier to switch up my styles to whoever I am today. When I feel more artsy, I can throw overalls on top of a shirt, cardigan, and shoulder bag. If I feel a little fancy, slip on a preppy plaid skirt and jacket with the same shirt. Or some days wear sports appeal with a shoulder bag. These aren’t big examples, but it happens. Another reason for my chosen palettes is its less attention-grabbing. People tend to notice me, no idea why, so you can say I try to blend into the background. Camouflaged, if you will. Though it doesn’t help, it makes me feel less like a sore thumb. I always wear accessories, preferably dainty and easy on the eye. Nothing eye-catching. Just keep it simple, so I don’t overwhelm myself and others. Without accessories, I feel...bare...lacking. I’m not sure how to explain it. It’s true. I can talk about the “most un-chill things” serenely. “10 biggest world threats of 2024” featuring Ian Bremmet, an American political scientist and author, has been simmering at the tip of my tongue. Not because I like chaos or negativity. I prefer raising awareness and discussing hypotheticals should Ian’s predictions come to pass. This is where my INTP brother and I always bump heads. My INTP brother looks at cold, hard facts. He collected past patterns and connected them to the present to spell out reasons we’re about to fall into dark time. I hear it all. I absorb all his data to reflect on later but, INFPs are not called the idealists for nothing. He pours all the knowledge he collected onto me - how unlikely a good outcome is. But I focus on a different set of facts. I tell him about all the sunflowers blooming between stretches of cold concrete. Of how goodwill spreads when passed to another. Sure, bad things happen. We have setbacks, and today isn’t what we hope it will be. But good deeds, goodwill, and believing in good things can breed a better tomorrow. I looked at the heroes who’ve shown up across time and those are the facts I focus on. He always thinks I’m ignoring him, that I’m being stubborn. I promise I’m not. I’m believing and putting my hopes in a different set of facts. One that may intertwine with yours but not end with it. I don’t have a problem with people disagreeing with me. I love hearing different perspectives, data, facts, and patterns. I do, however, have a problem with others trying to force their ideals on me. They consider my contemplation and pending verdict as stubborn and ignoring them. I’m not. I’m pocketing it for further inspection. Making on-the-spot decisions isn’t my forte. I need time to process, reflect, and research topics. Mostly to build better knowledge of the facts and my stance on it. If I don’t like what the person presented and there’s no evidence to support their claims, I scrap it. If there is evidence - even if I don’t like it - I side-note it or slap it near the topic like a warning label. Or if I like it, it’s written on the first available page. Later, I’ll look at the facts and start tweaking it. Though, I will admit, if I know little about a subject or is still in my learning era, I get very interested and may allow other, who seem more knowledgeable and trustworthy, to fill in the gaps of my knowledge to tweak later. This is because I don't have much knowledge to compare your insights to. However, if I'm not careful, the gullible and naive nature of mine may rear its head. It makes me susceptible to getting taken advantage of, lied to, and give false info that only benefits the person lying or sharing information they know little about. I think this is why most INFPs have their guard up. Also, you don't have to read the same sources as me to value your input. I, personally, feel like it gives me a more rounded out view when information comes from a wide array of different reliable sources. But having read my sources is a pulse in my book. Also, about the rants. Sorry. It’s pretty much a long-winded word vomit. I’ve been working on it. It usually takes me a pretty minute to notice someone losing their interest. INFPs! If you’re reading this, journaling and keeping a video diary helps. Video diarying works really well for me because I let out my thoughts in their purest form. You can ramble and get sidetracked as much as you want. Plus, if you rambled about any great idea for your next project, you can always rewatch it to remember. My serious demeanor is my standby mode. I’m literally just existing, listening, and watching the world. I step into conversations I feel I can add someone is missing the point. Being around people, weighing the facts with the facts I'm already aware of, THEN stepping in drains me. I add to the convo on my last leg. After I feel like I added enough or it’s all I’m capable of at the moment, I fall into battery-saving mode. It looks a lot like my standby mode. Just more closed-off, withdrawn, and less smiley. If you're more curious about what I said, I’m so sorry. All I can do is nod, shrug, and maybe offer a smile. I’m wrung out just thinking about coherently presenting the facts and data. This is definitely a reason I prefer small groups. Way less draining. I want to say more on what you talked about but I doubt anybody read this far so I’ll stop here.

This explanation was at-times eerily spot-on (and at times not…how are you the arbiter of what other people care about or not?), but your final conclusion/judgment was very harsh and I think it’s clear you were right about not actually knowing INFPs in any substantive way. It made me wonder what INFP hurt you, and, conversely, how you hurt them. On your point about relying on literature, first, sorry for being intellectually conscientious and relying on more than ourselves before we decide on the “truth of the matter” of things. I understand that a dangerous thing about relying on “literature” is only relying on one bias/perspective or even one thing too much. I think a healthy and more intellectually honest INFP (that skill grows if you work on it) will constantly critique what they read and read a bunch of different works, and judge the quality of study and data collecting…then judge whether the analysis and conclusions follow before they come to their own conclusions. One thing you didn’t mention is that INFPs have deep-seated values that can hurt the conscientiousness, but if they work to challenge themselves and understand logical fallacies and gain more experience where not everything they thought is true, they’ll learn to be a lot more flexible and open-minded to the point where our minds can change…it just takes some good persuasion and a showing of backed up facts to do so…a lot of people’s “facts” are actually not very factual and we INFPs sense that despite maybe some thinking types thinking “of course they’re facts! I’m the logical one!” Really, we see through all that and recognize how it’s really your conclusory ideas that are kind of narrow and don’t take into consideration many other factors or people who are different and behave differently…and are more based on personal feelings masked in “logic”. We INFPs can sense that, but many can’t articulate it well so we get dismissed easily and shallowly. However, with work, education, experience, and skill-building, we start to be able to and better parse out the logical inconsistency in a language that thinking types more respect. Also, notice your own very harsh judgments about the things INFPs are interested in; which is why we retreat to niche corners where it can feel safe. We don’t get that same sense of belonging and community where we feel understood, so our yearning for community and an organization may have something to do with that initial feeling of finally finding a place where there are others who just get us and we don’t have to explain ourselves to people who will type us and then make all sorts of value judgments about us and decide they don’t want to have any relationship with us because we’re “dangerous”. That idea of us not only being looked at with that sort of disdain plus us hurting you in some way that you think we’re dangerous is our biggest fear and is why we retreat and not connect so easily. And one final thought, I found your final conclusion really sad but I really wonder if you’ve looked into your behavior and thought to see areas where you can hurt others too that led to the “spiky-ness”. I say that as an INFP who became aware of my more negative traits and am in a constant flow of working on them to better communicate with others, as we live in a society and need to interact with others for work, for personal reasons, or both. In the end, no matter what type one is, it’s all about embracing what helps us and working on other aspects that aren’t so positive and can hurt us or others. All people no matter what type is capable of being “dangerous” and one shouldn’t dismiss a whole personality type based on an outsider study of traits you gathered with no meaningful interaction, as you prefaced this video with saying how your analysis of INFPs is more based on what you’ve gathered about us by reading with some minimal and negative experiences. That’s not the best way to study a subject.

As an INFP it did help me reading about personalities. It helps in the job market. The fact ESTJs are our polar opposite doesn't make them the most difficult for me. They can rest assured I won't take over their job for instance, and I have insights they also lack. I also have a strong analytical side which I can behave toward as long as I can blow off steam. Having an ENFP girlfriend also helps.

I am an INFP-T 7w6. Being in the army was hard but actually allowed me to improve some of the weaknesses that INFP have. I am now able to get missions done on time. I can lead people and take charge if I need to. I am able to even help soldiers who are depressed because I have a high sensitivity to energy or emotions. My father is a ISFJ, my brother is a INFJ, and my mother is an INTP. We are all introverts but because we love people we know how to go out into the world and fit in well. The problem I have is that I am friendzone by women as they say I am too good. I think it's a problem for most INFP's males to find a woman.

Oh god, on the internet part, you made it sound like INFPs are SJWs, haha. But spikey, yes, I always say that INFPs are walking contradictions. I am surprised anyone has mentioned about INFPs being organised. Which is true. When it came to my work that I care about, I am very orginised and work very hard and efficiently, but ask me to add that discipline into my personal life, I would laugh in your face, haha. I also like that you pointed out the bubbly personality but withdrawn (for females) because for me, that is very true. I will be kind and bubbly to new people, but after a time, I can't keep up the bubbly personality with someone who doesn't "bounce" off my bubbly personality, so I withdraw and hesitate. But I also think this is because we don't want anyone to know the "real" us. If people knew the real you, they may reject you, look at you weirdly or just think you're annoying. So, to save ourselves hurt, we withdraw and don't allow people to know us, because we hate ourselves, think we're weird and find ourselves annoying. From my understanding though, that comes with being a turbulent INFP, which are, emotionally unhealthy, immature and reactive (me). The reason why I mentioned only certain parts of your video is because those are the aspects I haven't seen others mention before, and appreciate (while not always positive) that you have understood these aspects whereas others have not. That is certainly keen insight there. :)

Probably a safe bet not to let an INFP too close to your heart if you're not comfortable with that level of walking contradiction, I certainly wouldn't hold it against anyone as an INFP myself. I agree with most of the things you pointed out here & it's good to hear how I may come off as prickly to others sometimes. I'm most definitely known to be moody & could see how that might come off as prickly. When it comes to wardrobe I would agree that when I'm going to be in a "professional" situation or just trying to make a good impression I will tend to stick to dark or earthy colors but when I'm playing "dress-up" on my day off (or just for fun) I can be found wearing the most outlandish & colorful outfit sometimes too, I'm not trying to draw attention & would rather people didn't notice me but when I feel like having fun with my clothing I don't really care what other people think. I do tend to avoid interacting with people in a social setting until I'm more comfortable with them & will be a quiet wallflower until someone gets me going on a topic I find genuinely interesting, then I really can talk your ear off, however if I get interrupted when explaining something I often have a hard time getting back to the original topic & may just stop talking all together & go back to silent observer mode. You really do have a better chance of meeting an INFP online though, I think most of us are hermits so we're hard to come by "in the wild" so to speak. We often come off as self-centered but really we're not full of ourselves & in fact I get insulted when accused of being selfish simply because I relate everything to the way I feel about it, we can't help it, that's just the way our brains are wired! Besides, knowing how we feel about things helps immensely when trying to get ourselves in another person's shoes when empathizing over something. We're not bad people, we're just misunderstood & so different from one another due to having had different life experiences that it's hard to judge INFPs as a whole if you've only encountered a few of us at random.

The thing about personality types is that while they’re similar, they’re still all individuals. You might click with one INFP, but have zero chemistry with another. Personally, I’ve met a couple of the sweetest, most loving, intelligent INTPs I could see myself marrying. On the other hand, I’ve also met INTPs I despised, as they were toxic, boring, and very unintelligent. I do love coalescing with a kind, healthy INTP.

@@SuperShiwi Yeah, I felt this vibe coming from the video. Maybe that’s why I felt kind of irky when he was explaining about infps, especially when he said “brief but long winded explanation nobody cares about” and “taken seriously but other people dont” which is why I think a lot of us are closeted and mysterious and quiet because we are afraid that other people would find our interests boring and judge our “long winded” explanations. Probably why we get ignored a lot because we aren’t taken seriously due to our dumb remarks which I make too but most of us make them as a joke and to make people laugh because that’s all we know. That’s pretty much why a lot of them don’t reveal themselves to anybody unless they are absolutely sure that somebody genuinely likes them and takes interests in their interests. I think this video really confirms my suspicion of what other people think of infps and well, all more reason to stay quiet and mysterious. No hard feelings though; not all of us are liked and that’s okay.

I basically dress how I'm feeling. My feelings bleed out into the outfits that I wear. Edit: the more that I listen, it's spot on! We can and do suddenly change the topic to anything slightly disturbing with such a chill demeanor. We can, because we have thought about it in depth and it no longer becomes disturbing for us. I, for one, am an aspiring writer. And as a writer, I use literature (any) so much! I live and breathe it, and I know almost exactly when an idea for a story is born, just because of something I read or a picture I saw once. A friend once looked at me after having one of those "conversations" and said, "it's a little frightening all that you know, you know?" And also bring an INFP, as soon as something interests me, I will immerse myself in it until I have drunk my fill and move on to the next thing. This eventually leads to me knowing a lot of interesting things! Twitchy eyes! Lol! I was going off to the same friend and talking about the genius of Shakespeare. My eyes got instinctively wider, and she said afterwards, "oh, she got those crazy eyes!" Lol! 🤣

Yep i do say weird and random things that people give me "the look" over. My INTP roommate(btw im an INFP) does and says tons of "spikey" things that are actually just rude and over opinionated. INFPs are less likely to call someone out on being "spikey" because every human is spikey sometimes. If only other types afforded us INFPs the same level of understanding we are able to give to them. The world doesn't like us until it needs a shoulder to cry on and then talks shit about us later. Too spikey?

As this is an old video I hope your request for feedback is still relevant? I’m glad you mentioned you weren’t able to research INFP’s in a way you would have preferred to. I almost clicked off during a large portion of the middle as it started to get into obvious shots in the dark conjecture, but you brought it back with some resonating points on both positives and negatives. An interesting mix of more vibe feeling you get around INFP’s than I would have expected from Ti dom, but personally gathered understanding of the facts in your observations of things like and body language definitely seemed on point for both Ti observation along with my personal Fi recognition of these traits; being an INFP myself. You are also one of the rare individuals to point out our combination of cozy vibe intentions but inevitable spiky Fi use so fantastic job on that.

That’s a great thing. I know I have three social modes, but I have different names for it: 1 - “I’m in a good mood and I feel like I want to share”, 2 - “I wish you could understand how anxious I am”, 3 - “stupid mode”. I laughed so hard about this online essay thing. I do it regularly. Even right now. My messages in chats are literally lists of text once a day. And that’s how I feel visible. When you talked about kinda negative traits and strange behaviour my first reaction was - no, it’s not me, you’re wrong!! But then I realised that I just don’t want to admit that you’re right.

I really appreciate hearing this from an intp’s perspective. It is very helpful and informative, and brings a lot of awareness about how we come across to other people, and how we can change for the better. 💕 It’s actually kinda funny because everything you said was pretty accurate (although the clothing and “trying to be mysterious” thing can just be subjective to the individual)- but you put it underneath a completely different perspective that I hadn’t really considered before. 🌚 In my mind, the meaning behind all of these subtle cues that I send out to people seems completely obvious- but for some goddamn reason, it never seemed to occur to me that other people might just not know wtf it means or why I do these things. (Like for example, why I suddenly pull away from conversations, or why I might say something completely weird or stupid or dark, and immediately withdraw again.)🚪🏃‍♀️ In my mind, these cues are just silent invitations, or tests of reassurance- where I’m waiting to make sure that the other person truly meant to tug on that ball of yarn, so I don’t bother them with endless rants like this (because I know that if I start talking, I won’t stop.)- but now I realize that not everyone understands that language. I realize now that I need to be more direct with what I’m thinking and feeling, but not to an overwhelming extent of course. (… yet I rant in the comments 👀👀 oops) I’m so sorry for ranting- I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate this video and found it very helpful, in the most Fi Ne way possible 💀 rip Have a good day! 💕💕

First off you have aspirational insight and an ease of explaining things concisely and effectively that makes thinking about things easily digestible while also managing being “impactful” After watching this video and revisiting how I come across externally you’ve impacted my self esteem for the better and explained things I’d felt insecure about but have not been consciously been able to process or organize in a way where I’m able to see a clearer picture and and you’ve managed to highlight a lot of what I’ve ignorantly deemed as “misunderstandings” or blaming a lack of others curiosity or blame a lack of inquisitiveness people hold for deeming me sketchy and quick to be conclusive without saying or expressing much. This is probably the first time in my life that I’ve felt so insecure and a different way of feeling “lost” while Introspecting this time around and became conscious about how I socialize in a way (and of course for the better) that made me realize how much I am in denial about how I unconsciously do care what people think but possibly earlier on in childhood I’ve rejected that care and stuffed it somewhere to rot and go about life. I feel like we make a niche out of things we feel insecure about and make light of it or “accept” it and brand it as a part of ourselves rather than take advantage or reformulate ourselves cleverly and more wisely. What would your “rhetoric” or advice be for INFPs who wish to be less spikey/facetious and so socially counterproductive? Do you think a certain development of another function can soften the awkwardness and lend more reliability? Could you possibly make a video about this sometime?

However there is a lot of times where I dress to stand out in a unique way, it can be very bright but it’s usually a way to express myself rather than draw attention. In regards to speaking, I like to listen most of the time and ask questions so I can be drawn into someone’s world. I also wouldn’t necessarily say that the way I speak is “spiky” as I aim to make people feel comfortable and accepted. I deffo do go off on random rants about things, but they genuinely are interesting, I promise!

I have a theory that we infps can have this spiky volatility thats hidden behind a translucent veil. Ppl can see it. Some infps will realize this and some won’t. The spikyness is something we can learn to maturely acknowledge or diffuse but im not yet sure that it will entirely go away (Fi firm stances of values based on Ne ideas and possibility of # of ways that value can be violated or crossed). Maybe it’s easier for an assertive type to diffuse or for an aware, older mature infp to recognize and step back from. For reference Im close to my quarter life crisis and have long recognized it (sorry!) but only begun to learn how to address and diffuse it Other infps in my life have the spikyness and i have yet to see them diffuse it during a convo or situation. It at least helps keep ppl focused on what rlly deeply needs to be addressed in problem situations

That's like me with gemology. I absolutely love gemstones, everything about them. And I can go on and on about it if I ever do talk about it. But I soon came to the realization that most people don't care. Haha so I just keep it to myself unless someone else is interested. I actually like doing that too, As if it somehow makes it more special. Little pieces of me that I'm constantly rearranging within myself.

Theories get progressively stupid if they started with an incorrect foundation, INFP’s go all in on theories so if the foundation was incorrect the end result will sound stupid. INFP reactions can also be intense, especially if they have a history of being bullied as INFP’s are perfect targets for being bullied in their developmental years hence their walls, so thinking types could feel uncomfortable when INFP’s are rambling about something that may be completely wrong. My advice would be instead of just saying to the INFP “you are wrong”, which may come across as combative cause the INFP to go into defence mode, point out the flaw at the base level, the INFP will be more likely to thank you than perceive it as someone attempting to “peacock” a counter point without considering the INFP’s devotion to journey to conclusions.

As an INTP in my experience, relationships with INFPs always was frustrating. I still have one INFP friend, and I now him from childhood. We did a lot stupid, but funny stuff back then, but know we are very distant without any logical reason, and it's been for years. Yeah, I tried to organize a meeting, but always failed because of his schedule. He never tried the same thing from his position. And we are just sending rare random memes to each other once in a 3-4 months, wow. Afterwards, I was subconsciously dumb enough to try and meet a girl, who was also INFP (the thing about being bubbly and suddenly serious back again is true). I tried to connect with her during painting courses. We had some fun, since that thing was common ground, but... Since I was pretty bad at it, and i was done with the courses because of work, we were talking online. Same here. She even forgot to congratulate me with a New Year back. But she apologized to me only after I pointed it out. Afterwards she initiated correspondence twice, randomly. My Fe get hurt and dived in cognitive dissonance all the time. And yes, even inferior Te makes them scary. Just saying, since a lot of INTPs here have a good connection with INFP. I guess i am doing something wrong.

I have friendly connections with INFPs, not close connections. I can’t trust or rely on them. TPs and sorts of ENTJs and ENFPs are the only types I feel comfortable around.

I have to agree with the responses from Skimmerlit and Sa Sha. Just got out of a 5 years relationship with an INFP female and it was an extreme rollercoaster of emotions, too extreme in fact and it still hurts as fuck. In my esperience a romantic relationship with INFPs as INTP are hard and require an immense amount of work, there are some people on internet that seems to suggest otherwhise, but i guess that they either were both extremely mature from the start or enough to make things work or just plain lucky. Relationship between those types is a magnet for mistakes in my experience, from both sides, you have to be both really mature and, you know, i don’t want to use stereotypes more than i already did but that is also rare in young INFPs and INTPs, chances are at lest one or both are somewhat immature.

@@fredrickhzo1061 They are both Si types so no sexual compatibility. On top of that one is an NF and the other NT so no emotional compatibility either. Of course then it won't work. Intps are more compatible with Infjs and Enfjs because Se Si make amazing sexual compatibility although the emotional aspect will still need work. Infps are compatible with xNTJs. This is a relationship of actual growth though it might still be difficult in some areas. Aside from that Intps are compatible with xNTJs and Esfps surprisingly.

I'm an INTP but from the outside I'm very INFP-like. I know how to dress well, act mysteriously and ramble about my interests. Maybe I am an INFP. Or an INTP, or INTJ. (Just my Ti-Ne being indecisive, I'm probably an INTP)

I get the whole personality type thing and how behaviors can be put into a box, but I feel like you can get a little tangled into the whole ‘personality type’ dilemma. Your just kinda picking apart someone’s behavior and slapping a label on them and assuming a lot based off of nothing really. It just makes getting to know people a lot less fun. I just don’t get it, everyone is pretty much different and different situations. The only thing that really connects people who have the same ‘personality type’ is I guess how they carry themselves and even that is a far stretch. I’m not sure, i just don’t like things that assume stuff about people like that zodiac sign bullshit

I feel like this guy has never met an INFP-A. That spikeyness, isn't as much of an issue for us. More a call sign of the turbulent types. We assertive types are far more outgoing and not at all afraid to talk to new people or socialize.

The thing about needing to refer to literature can be unlearned by infps , it's about gaining confidence in ones own thoughts and conclusions that they developed themselves. - infp
