As an infp, I'm happy spending hours by myself in my room staring at a wall lost in thought. Is that just me?

I think as an INFP i've noticed how we have a intense and ongoing urge to plan our individual path in life. It needs to be one that is completely based on our heart and soul and makes us happy. We wish to inspire the wider community to find their own passion and live through their heart and we secretly admire our own complete commitment to living life based on what drives us and makes us happy. We tend to obsess over the planning side of tasks and we often fantasise grand results meaning we spend a lot more time thinking than doing. Although we may 'do' a lot and others see us as very 'busy' we spend a whole lot more time thinking and planning. Our downfall is that we often have immense trouble taking these thoughts and ideas and turning them into a finished project of some sort, as we don't want to endure the actual 'work' as that takes us away from our dream world we thrive in. This can be very discouraging to us as we feel as if we haven't succeed in vital self expression and we get deep sadness from not being able to reach our standards we want to reach when it comes to our passion. We live for constant self discovery and analysis of ourselves and how we fit into the world. We look for role models who seem to hold our core values and who have achieved big things and feel immense pressure by ourselves to reach their level very quickly, for this reason we often experience self doubt but nothing will stop our internal fire and we'll never stop fanning it! We thrive on unconventionality and we feel proud to be unconventional. Expression - Passion - Analysis - Thinking - Planning - Fantasy - Self-Discovery. We have the power to inspire the world around us.

Nailed it.

[@Emma-xx8tj]

+lilly gilovitz wow! I have never related more to anything in my entire life !!

[@Bebbolove]

Spot on! But u know, when INFP do get things done, the beautiful thing is they themselves & others whom they care deeply to let in by extension also enjoys the realized dream & idealistic pieces they bring to this world. Infused with liveliness, love & idealism in a non-intrusive in-your-face non-dictating way. Like a nurturing comfy home. I kid u not how many times ppl I DONT feel comfy with yet they are drawn to me & other INFPs I know of & just want to hangout, be close & near no matter hw introverted we are. We do know how to cater & be understanding, gentle, kind, generous, giving. -ve part is Even when we're feisty or tempestuous, ppl know they can still walk all over us or shrug us off afterwards. We're like the go to person for help & if not careful, punching bag Coz we always still find ourselves wanting to mk the world a better place & contribute something sweet or good to our surroundings. The IDEALISM struggle is real!

[@fen4554]

This is basically the trunk of my life, and I never once thought that all these individual quirks formed a web-like pattern that you can recognize.

[@heart-gutvision7663]

I can relate to most of this but when I did the test I got ISFP, and then I also got INFP, but that was when I did a different one. I can also relate to some of the things from ISFPs, but, people usually believe that ISFPs are not really into deep conversations about humankind and problems and how the world is and topics of that sort, while I am, so I do think I'm INFP more than anything. I also always encourage my friends to keep being who they are even if people call them 'weird' or 'different' so that's another reason I can relate to INFPs because they encourage others to be themselves. One thing though, is that I don't like to-do lists and planning is hard work for me sometimes, so right now I'm slightly confused as to which of these types I am.

[@michelled2947]

I'm an INFP... I'm so happy there are others out there like me ❤️

[@wanitaw132]

[@chelseamiracle128]

I'm very much an INFP. I have my extroverted moments, but I am by and large an introvert. I love possibilities, I'm a naturally positive person. I like to encourage others and I do make a good listening ear. I want to help people better their lives, hear them out. I also love to write and almost went to design school a few times. I'm making my to do lists and dreaming about how to live up to my full potential. I dislike brash, uncaring people. I'm flexible, funky, funny, and cheerful. I'm absolutely unapologetic about who I am and I want others to feel that way too. :)

[@iiAngelic]

Wow, this video is strumming my pain with its fingers, singing my life with its words. Killing me softly with INFP description, killing me softly with this video, telling my whole life with its words, killing me softly...

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

Lol

[@kent3979]

There's that creativity we all long for

[@rockettaco]

I’m an INFP. I think the thing that I strive for is to simply be a good person. Change starts with the individual. That’s why I always try to be a positive influence to others.

[@Dzanarika1]

Thete is a limit to that.

[@GoDanielaLipovska]

I dont like working with people :(

[@septiplierisnotdead2864]

Same

[@jadeemp]

Me too ...but sometimes I do if they are dedicated and true

[@lunalove9395]

i think we can only deal with working with people if its one-on-one (like a counsellor or therapist or something). if its something where we have to work in a team, or we don't have much autonomy, then it can be really draining.

[@BabsChannel]

@@deana5274 Sa-hame. I'm a professional artist before anything else as far as working goes, and when I'm forced to work regular jobs, I'm miserable. My parents, husband and everyone else around me doesn't get it. When I was in my early 20s, in great shape and everything, I worked a part time job. Just 4 to 6 hours a day and by the time I got off, I crashed on the couch for 10 hours. I was drained. It's like that with everything I do. Except art. But, of course, everyone that's supposed to believe in me doesn't, so I'm left feeling inadequate and less than.

[@oooo1743]

I don't like it either.I feel restrained and my creativity is killed.But i love ppl and love to converse with them

[@FromG2eminor]

INFP piano teacher here. I love it. And yes paying attention to detail is crazy hard but i can tell you how i felt about the detail but not what the detail was....lol

[@Angela-wr5pv]

This is definitely me! Hello fellow INFPs. :)

[@ghoullishly8864]

I've taken the test multiple times and turned out to be an INFP, although I don't feel as if I can fully relate with the type, especially the idealist part. I'm creative, write and draw, and interested in how people think and feel. I like listening to people talking about their problems to me so I can help them, although I also like looking for patterns and statistics in how people function and act. I like conflict and drama as long as I am not personally involved since I find it interesting to see people in different challenging situations when they are forced to display emotions or sides of themselves that they under normal circumstances wouldn't show. Am I just an evil INFP?

[@conduitofthegospeldarrellb9154]

Definitely an INFP

[@XavierGuillaume]

INFPs like helping and inspiring others, which is what you mentioned "I like listening to people talking about their problems to me so I can help them." As for the last part, I think that is similar to INFPs how we also at the same time don't really care about changing others. I think it is because we are so independent, and we try so hard to be authentic to our real selves, that we believe other people should also be independent and they should try to figure out their own life. And that if we meddle with their lives and try to change them, that we are preventing them from being their true self. I hope that makes sense! However, if we have a strong connection with that person, and we think we know them better than they know themselves, then we would work hard to want to change them, because we think we know what's best!

[@notyouagain8193]

Ghoullishly me too 😕 but i belived that i am isfp but the test said i am infp

[@myplateisempty.4292]

Usually titles like these are made to be broadly similar to a particular set of people, so even if you don't feel like a traditional INFP, you can still be one.

[@aaron414p8]

Yeah, I'm an INFP, but when I saw the careers... Those are the careers I would never want to have

[@SteveParr80]

Snap although working with animals and some jobs in the caring profession like being an advocate intrigues me.

[@bunnyxqueen1863]

I feel like INFPs and all the other personality types should have a war cry that brings us together... AVENGERS, ASSEMBLE!!!

[@itsjustmariful]

INFP here :)

[@BlueBirdie96]

Hello! Infp here! I had gotten my cosmetology license, and thought id love it because it was creative, but it ended up being way too socially exhausting for me! So I went back to school. I considered becoming a counselor, but ended up decided on graphic design and I love it!!! I am a frequent painter, reader, and I also love to journal. Its funny how true this video was to me! :)

[@jasonng04]

For me it feels nice to see others like me, but also a bit weird and uncomfortable at the same time. I don't know why.

[@rebekahthuline7657]

As an INFP this is scary accurate, I love it though. 🎨

[@cb5886]

does anyone else take both logic and emotions into account?

[@kiaz1st]

At this moment in time, I have only taken two tests, one told me I was an INTP, while the other (more highly regarded) one told me I was an INFP. I find myself torn in that way, as I make decisions based both equal parts logical, and on my emotions. Almost everything I read about the INFP personality type resonates with me very deeply, and I'm almost 100% certain that is my personality type, but certain things like 'idealism' I remember used to have before life experiences etc. I'm not sure how often(Or if at all) people seem to be on the edge of personality types, but mine seems to be because of my personal life experiences.

[@SirenoftheVoid]

There's two reasons for the false results.One would be that you idealize your type so you don't answer truthfully(or you could be unaware).The 2nd is that a lot of tests aren't accurate. The true way to find out about your type is by going the technical route and learn about the 8 cognitive functions then figure out which ones you use most.Research them or have a professional do go through the test with you.

[@kiaz1st]

Well, it can't be that I idolise a type, as I took the tests not knowing any of the types or anything about them. My cousin introduced me to the types, and she's done quite a bit of reading on it. She's told me that I am most likely INFP (same as her) but I would like to do a bit of reading myself to check that it's unbiased. Thank you for answering!

[@SirenoftheVoid]

If that helps at all,remember that we Introverted Feelers care about our own values.If YOU relate to the cognitive functions that the INFP type uses,then you are one.What i did was gather information(through ideas,as is natural for our type) then made my own judgement.What i read felt right to me,so i accepted it.

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

I am I/Enfp Because everyone seems to assume that you can't be both an introvert and an extravert, or that you n "Must be a little bit more one than there other" but that is completly false. Ambivert is a thing. So I basically cannot have only one personally type...

[@cb5886]

the same for me. i got intj and then infp. i make decisions with both logic and emotions. i definitely resonate with infp more though. idk which i am aah.

[@winniecantonese]

I am happy to be myself!!

[@God_3712]

I'm an INFP, I'm sure about that. Still, I feel like I always contradict myself. I can be so apathetic but at the same time so emotional. I want to say so much sometimes but I can never even get a word in. I do relate to being extremely reserved and I always stay quiet because if I speak I fear I may say too much or sound dumb. I am super hard on myself for every small thing, but I also have a short temper but only express it around family and then can feel guilty for long periods of time. Does anyone else relate?

[@Dawnshade1]

Why are their no comments yet? ;-; We're be my fellow INFPs?

[@lawjones1]

Well you have one here!

[@geebee1514]

This is me.. I like being home alone (not during Covid-19 though)...sometimes if I'm in a room full of people, I want to disappear. I'm an Introvert and a Writer and Artist. Just found out about INFP. I'd never heard of it. I'm everything except spontaneous and I'm judgmental😊at times. Good video.

[@marvelsucks9435]

I think I'm an infp, though with a short temper 😂

[@marvelsucks9435]

And I don't like to work with others. OK can someone tell me if i have a different personality, I'm confused 😂

[@vidlia1]

just Wowed

[@Romyjohn14]

I've done a lot of test and it turned out that I am INFP, I feel like sometimes people doesn't understand me, I don't know why? But I am always hapoy if a person change to be a better person it is sound inspiration and I want it to tell that story to other people, I am so sensitive if people hates me even though I don't know what is the mistake I've done. I feel emphaty to other peoples tragedy, I feel like what if it happens to me what did I do? I am good at listening people, specially if he/she tells about inspiring thing. I hate bully and judgmental people they are so insensitive and arogant. Is that the INFP type?

[@billylong9699]

dude this is me to a T

[@darkdestiny3700]

I feel like this is the worst personality trait xD

[@pjlav6304]

If it's %5 of Women and %4 of men that equals %9 ....Not %4 of the population???

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

No because it's 5% of 1/2 (half the population is male half female, roughly) and 4% of 1/2. Roughly, because women make up slightly more than than half the population. So the point is that its not 5% of the whole plus 4% of the whole-- that would be 9% as you said. Simplify it to 4... 4% of half would be 2%/of the whole. So 4% of half plus 4% of half is not 4+4 but 2+2 or 4.

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

Another way of putting it (using the simplified numbers) is that if women are half the population, then 4% of women= 2% of the population. 4% of men =2% of the population. So 2% of the population+2% of the population is 4%.

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

@Kiza Naru you can and you can't. But 4% of women is roughly 2% of the total population. You have to take that into consideration. Its like with averages. You can't just add the numbers together, you also have to divide.
