[@AlexisNishay]

As an INFP I often feel that, although I have a lot of strong feelings and thoughts buzzing around my head, it’s better to just stay quiet. I don’t feel the need to voice my opinion most of the time. I just quietly observe the ppl around me. People tell me I’m shy, but I don’t see it that way. I just don’t need to be constantly talking.

[@xXwhitefangXx1]

That and someone possibly already said how they feel about it the same way I’m feeling without me saying it.

Depending on the people/situation, i look at it as having all the cards, because nobody realizes us INFP's are hearing everything, or hearing nothing, depending on our mood.

[@ashleytaylor235]

I feel this. When I open up it just starts an argument of trying to explain myself. And I just get attacked for it. It is better to stay quiet, unless the emotion you express is what they wanted. Just playing a role over here.. and it sucks

[@omararturoramirez5262]

Once an INFP gets the big epiphany of DETACHMENT, life improves outstandingly! Detachment from people’s opinion, energy, frustration, drama, closed minds and inauthenticity. We have a tendency to care too much for people, but sooner or later we figure out it’s not worth it. And after all, those people don’t give a f**k for us, so , why to bother?

[@StormDevilery]

Well that's true.. I mean, yeah that's true.. 🤔

[@jungifermanunag6351]

So true . I had been that way years ago , caring too much on what people think about us and after stopped caring too much I became much calmer and at peace.

[@cory99998]

For me that detachment has taken form in not caring what others think about me when I express myself which allows me to be more expressive overall. It's easy to shy away in the art I create and not reveal myself out of fear of embarrassment, but that holds the artist back *immensely*. Detaching myself from the opinions of others on a core level rather than a logical level is what's helping me grow into the artist I've always wanted to be. Getting bullied for being a weird kid + not having a support structure at home that understands my inner world was a recipe for feeling rejected and embarrassed about myself long term which makes it unbelievably difficult to be expressive and revealing.

[@thuyma3042]

Your words are so inspiring and healing to me bc I am having a serious problem caring what people feel or think abt me.

[@dont_mind_me3348]

I am an INFP. Few years ago, I used to share my deepest thoughts and the things that makes me so happy. But even if they don't show it, I can feel they're not interested. I wanted to express my feelings but they don't seem to be interested in listening. And realizing that alone makes me feel so sad, it makes me ask "why is it so unfair? When they share something, i'm all ears. But when I share something, I feel like I am detached to them. I feel like I have a loud voice but they can't hear me."

[@jeriborer8732]

Yes! This is exactly true. I hear a lot of advice for infp to open up and share more of your true inner self, but when I do nobody really wants to hear it. I don't think or feel like most people. I don't like the stupid small talk or superficial topics. I would love to open up to people more but it's hard to find people like me! Also what he says in video about being treated as naive and child-like, I have felt that my whole life. I am far from naive!!

[@BeckyTheBullet]

@@jeriborer8732 I feel the same way!

[@BeckyTheBullet]

Yes, I feel the same! and it's really disheartening. I have now met someone I can talk to and discuss things with and it has helped massively! just to have one person that feels like they understand me. Before that I always felt so alone and misunderstood. I still feel those things but now that I have someone to share my views and feelings with I don't feel so crazy!

I identify with the sentiments expressed in the preceding comments. 11:20 , I would suggest that others either don't have the capacity, or the will, to want to make the effort. And, because we are so tuned to this, and have the capacity for creative thought, it becomes incumbent upon us to use these skills to come up with innovative ways to get our ideas across, if we really want to be heard/understood. PS. can you see the INFP coming out. 😊

[@ailaespela5212]

As an INFP I usually received comments that I'm weird, crazy, self-absorbed, and that my mind seems nowhere to be found at the moment oftentimes. Perhaps the reason I am perceive that way is that I don't share enough of myself to other people. I value my privacy, my solitude, I'm critical on my interpersonal behavior that's why my actions are quite reserved (?)

[@Dzanarika1]

Do not let those narrow-minded, superficial human beings get you down. They are not your tribe anyway. Be kind to yourself, love and respect yourself always, always be yourself, and so by doind this you will keep those energy-sucking parasites away as they do not like strong, confident people. The right people will naturally find this attractive and will recognize your worth. Do not loose yourself, whatever you do in your life. Hugs ❤❤❤❤

[@yeahz_purple1786]

Same I can relate that too

[@kathyh.648]

I’m an INFP and I think you got some good points there. There is another reason why I think we are misunderstood often as well: There don’t seam to be too many of us and since people tend to interpret others through their own glasses (or think others think in the same way they do), its hard to get that people could really be as we are. I.e. most people think of themselves before others, and they usually see a lie behind a person who would rather take the smaller peace of cake so another would not feel left out… Hope this is understandable.

[@kathyh.648]

Don’t know how often I had to tell myself: Well, even if others think I sm pretending or false, no matter how many don’t understand me, at least God can see into my heart and knows exactly how I really mean it.

Right? So eye opening!

[@rclark1132]

I found out last year ….. 🤯 LITERALLY

[@Robidu1973]

The main problem is that far too many people are incapable of handling the complexities of an INFP's mind. I, as an INFP, have made the experience that when I arrive at a conclusion, people have great difficulties understanding how I have arrived there, and since it involves multiple steps at once that sometimes are spliced into one another, explaining things is so extremely difficult and exhausting. Add bonus points once people lose track of what you are attempting to tell them, thereby forcing you to repeat yourself. At the end it usually leaves me completely exhausted and thoroughly frustrated. On other occasions people see an INFP pull off a feat and want to do so likewise, but they inevitably fail, because they don't know what amount of processing has been taken place in the INFP's head prior to that. However, instead of inquiring how to get that done, they oftentimes get miffed and start shaming the INFP.

[@Robidu1973]

@@more444store6 The fun part of all this, however, starts when they are about to do something stupid and you, as an INFP, have that eerie feeling that that isn't going to end well. So the INFP is going to tell them something along the line of "If I were you, I wouldn't do that." Of course, they are going to dismiss that, especially since we cannot back that up with hard facts at that moment (pulling them from our background processes is rather long-winded and as such a complete pain in the butt), yet that peculiar feeling remains. However, then watch their surprised Pikachu faces when things actually start to go south. The standard reaction from the INFP: "Told you."

[@melilotus]

Are you perhaps trying to say that we tend to think of, for example, a situation from multiple angles and points of view, that others simply cannot grasp it, plus it's hard to even translate our vision of this situation, because it's so complex, and sometimes these different angles are even in some sort of contradiction? I don't know if you get me, but it happens to me all the time. Plus, i see and understand a certain situation in my head, let's say, intuitively, but if I try to organize it into thoughts, or (even worse 😂) words, it's sometimes mission impossible 😂😂

[@bencollins1210]

I'm an INFP, I relate to this a lot, I'd much rather be lost in my own thoughts while reading a book or making scenarios up in my mind, or going out on a hike. Often I like to contemplate places and see the beauty in things like a landscape, old barn or a forest etc. I find that structure, order, and routines make life very stressful, not because 'I cant be bothered rather because I see harmony and fulfilment in meaning as of greater importance, though sometimes I have to suck it up of course when it comes to my responsibilities ( I understand these things are essential). And its very true what I see as important is very different to the norms. Life for me is fulfilling when I'm appreciating beauty, or meaning in something, or hidden meaning. I suppose I like to appreciate everything that has some spiritual or artistic meaning which may make me look naïve and easy going, but id call it more naïve to live for what is socially acceptable at the expense of fulfilment as a lot of beauty, wisdom, truth and hidden meaning is brushed over by prejudice. It is very true I loathe dis-harmony and would hate to cause someone pain. It really annoys me when people ignore someone's values and treat them as if there ignorant It ruins peoples self confidence (over a light comment), and I know from experience that that is really damaging to ones mental health. I have my own biblical values so I lovingly challenge other peoples values but I find it distasteful when people mock timid people (all it shows to me is that there loud, and the victim is mature and rational enough not to mock back). People may perceive this as arrogant that is not so I am just explaining how my mind works. I have to make people understand that what I'm saying about being misunderstood is not to be misunderstood under a comment section asking whether I feel misunderstood (; Perhaps I am misunderstood...

[@thuyma3042]

Same here

[@ValeriesGallery]

Your comment makes me feel understood. I love appreciating beauty and finding hidden meanings. Other subtle things fascinate me, but they aren’t “practical” or seem important to most people. I’m making an effort to focus on what I value now

I'm an INFP and a middle child. I consider that a double whammy. I have been pleasing people, keeping the peace and I have failed to express my feelings in key moments. This has led me to ruminate over specific situations where I should have stood up for myself, but I just let it go, because everyone expected me to remain calm.

[@nicolekurschildgen3546]

This is exactly explaining my life. I´m 47 years old now (also a middle child) and not able to stand up for myself. Just because I can not handle people getting upset with me. Self-sacrificing to please the people, fulfill their expectations, belittle myself,....etc. But I´m working on it. It`s my life and it´s never to late. I´m an INFP and I´m not going to change that.

[@AriodanteITA]

True. in the last 10 years, I have done at least 20 times the interview for someone of the "Big 5" (Google, FB and so on). I know i have good skills for the job. I am resourceful (in spite of being studied literature i have been able to pursue a career in IT), i speak several languages at a very good level, I am resilient, I am a very good person when it comes to support and help, i am devoted, i have years of experience (and some times i know in depth the product itself i am interviewing for). I almost always reach the last round, but I always got rejected because when you interview for one of those company they want you to show your cool and extrovert side - and maybe a bit structured (funny because you HAVE to write on your CV that you are an "out of the box" thinker, but then they don't want to hear that in the interviews). You have to be able to "sell" yourself, and i am totally not the kind of people that brags about his own good sides, or who is able to "lie" or be someone he is not. Many times in several interview have been told that the "level of energy is low", just because I speak slowly (and if i am nervous I start stuttering or forget the words). I am also not too comfortable in speaking, while I am better in writing (i need my time to think and structure my thoughts, and i prefer writing longer but more "reasoned" text, that an impactful tweet that is void of real meaning. I honestly think that this is a bit a shame, especially when it comes to big companies that always brag about inclusion and diversity, but have a hiring system that de facto is designed to disadvantage people like us, diversity is also this. Also this world focused on image and showing off doesn't help. Even if it will probably be too late for me, I hope that one day there will be more awareness (as there is for skin colors and body types) about this different in characters, hopefully more and more introvert people will get visibility, and our peculiar character will not be seen like a handicap but a resource.

[@melilotus]

Yeah, I totally get this "selling" part, because I cannot even imagine to tell something about myself that is not true, at least in these situations. I give people precise information of my capabilities (I'm even pretty harsh sometimes), but people mistake that for my incapacity for a certain task or job or activity, while far more incapable folks will advertise themselves and sell the story of how great they are for this or that...

[@AriodanteITA]

@@melilotus People also made me noticed (last week I was practicing with an interview) that I have some uncommon trait, or i'm able to do/see things that other people are not able to see, but i don't realize it. To me it's totaly normal. When in the interviews they ask me "tell me about a time when...you dealt with a difficult customer/ showed leadership" or things like that... I struggle to find examples because to me it's so normal that I don't even realize i'm handling difficult situations. Also because I keep very low my emotion and it's almost impossible to make me lose my temper and my cold blood. Which is a quality very useful in many circumstances. I do that all that without realizing. And yes, i can't lie. In the good and in the bad, i never lie. If I don't like you, or don't trust you, whether I avoid to answer, or if I answer i can't help but telling the truth. And this is not always a good thing.

My ex-wife used to tell me that I need to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. I have always lived in my own "fantasy world" where everything is great. As an extreme optimist, it took me years to finally get feet on the ground and head out of the clouds. It made me more cynical and I do not like that. After my divorce I learned more about who I really am as an INFP and I have embraced it and am at peace. I started writing poetry. I learned that I can express myself that way. I met a wonderful friend and we had lots in common. I wrote her a poem to express how I felt and it was too much. This video is spot on as far as INFP's being misunderstood.

[@VictoriaForSale]

It's said that all teenagers feel missunderstood but I can tell I felt so misunderstood that I learned not to talk about my opinions at all. If I do I realize most people don't listen. For a long time I was deeply desperate and didn't know why Noone understands me until I analyzed myself enough to learn that it is me who Is not able to communicate the complexity of my inner self. So, whenever I say something upsetting or I am strict or whatever I explain to others why I was like that. Mostly it's because I am stressed or because I see potential in others and get frustrated they don't see it and use their skill, just working a bit on themselves. I work hard on myself and though I let others live I really get frustrated about people not putting any energy in development their talents. There's so much more to say but I don't want to overdo it

[@martinoheat1712]

Well when I as am INFP was growing up your emotions feel totally out of control, like feral animals, that pour out without any control. And you learn and realize that you must hide these emotions even though you feel them deeply. And people don't see your emotions, your care and consideration, but you realize that it's a self-defense mechanism. In regard to our depth, or lack of words, the reason why we appear quiet, is because we are busy thinking. No one ever asks us how we truly think or feel, and no one goes through the time or depth to allow us to express all our thoughts and contradictory feelings. And so it's better sometimes to think about it and to imagine something within the confines our mind then share what we have gone through just for someone to critique or shit on it. That's why INFPs appear within drawn because we don't want something dirtying something so pure in our mind.

I love being a mystery for other to wonder about back in school I would do things differently than others and make it a better way of thinking about how something could be done I always did things my way I was a nonconformist my teachers would call me Maverick I didn't know why they called me that my name is Clifford. One day I was reading another hobby of mine and seen what a Maverick was its a title and I can say I'm a mysterious childlike nonconformist misunderstood musician and maverick. Jesus said to understand the kingdom of God you must be childlike not childish but childlike and I can say I understand what Jesus is saying. To all of my kind us INFPs keep your head up and love yourself because you are someone who has something to offer to the world and that is to help heal the wounds of hurt and lost people and help them see the light.

Everytime you deal with an INFP just remember to tell yourself "Bold of you to asssume that.." in both good and bad ways. Lol

[@loisbock9591]

Such a relief to finally understand this well. Have searched. Now it all makes sense.❤

[@Hollyfilly]

I'm an infp with impulsivity and if only I could keep my mouth shut.

[@Nyxeline]

I literally stay outside most of the day cause theres so much nature. If I'm sad, or happy, or angry I perfer to be left alone outside where I can relax and be at peace.

[@drpamelamozingo4079]

Yes , I feel misunderstood much of the time

[@maio0077]

I feel like we are contradictory most of the time and it can confuse other people

[@tarajoyce3598]

Examine it deeper. We are neither contradictory nor hypocritical. There are things that only work fairly under very specific conditions.

[@cjclementine434]

Yeah I’m INFP, yeah I’m misunderstood… and made by the people surrounding me to feel like this is because my ideals are misguided and naive. They’re right. I’m the wrong one. Just unrealistic. Boundaries are not a luxury I deserve until I decide to grow tf up.

[@irenemcnamara9699]

I am an INFP and I am not rigid or obsessed with self-control! In fact,, I am the opposite!! I have always been a rather laid-back person. You need to refresh your learning about INFP's!

[@hannahrose266]

Same here! My chill level and not much concern for control is one of my many qualities that are misunderstood and completely outrage the ppl in my life, even worse for them is the fact that I'm not too worried about how they react to me since i truly don't feel my chill is anything to get worked up about

[@netgnostic1627]

Inflexible and arrogant? Wow, I've never had anyone describe me that way or react to me that way. As a manager, I don't like creating rules unless I have to, and if my group needs a way of organizing something, I prefer to let the group decide on their own solution. If there's conflict over it, of course I step in and make a decision, once I fully understand what's wrong, and also what was good about their idea. Hmm. I'm near the middle on the I vs E scale, as well as the F vs T scale. Maybe that means I'm not a typical INFP.

[@denisesiddon7241]

Being infp is so confusing. I know i have the right values on how to treat others so why don't everyone else see things my way. This has alao made me realise why i present as a thinking type when stressed. Normally the happiest person around when not stressed

I was taken aback when, after delivering the eulogy at my father's funeral, a former neighbor from my childhood said, "You must be a professor, or something. You're so cute!" I was 57 at the time.

[@MrEpicdary]

Just here to leave a comment for the algorithm. A lot of these points hit home, it's tough being an INFP. I've only recently found out my mbti personality type (Thank you tinder..), but knowing is half the battle, right? Well, I'm off to another video, so much information to ingest.

[@marandazilk3175]

I get compared to my bestie all the time. One thing I am told, a lot, is that she is so fun and interesting. She is an INFJ. I am INFP.

what's worse is that other INFPs misunderstands me..

[@dy-fathiyana3385]

There's no doubt i'am INFP after i watching this vid 😅

[@tarajoyce3598]

Half done but I don't feel this video explains why the outside doesn't match the inside: social conditioning. INFP quiet is socially acceptable compared to an INFP living outloud. Took a long long time for me to realize most people comparatively are shallow puddles. I've quit diving in, due to head trauma, and now only dip my feet.

[@iionheartheart4974]

No one has time to waste on us.

[@ashleytaylor235]

I just think infps could live an alternative way than what society often tells us.

[@ostcentre4995]

Bro but INFP is all about not being rigged, but loved the video, very relatable.....

[@TheOriginal_Unaleska]

This is the dark aspect of an INFP. When we've lost ourselves, yes, we become very rigid and controlling. The more healthy we are the less rigid we become because we don't feel the need to control

[@yeahno8294]

Way I see it this is all for how we can change to benefit others when we should just be us and the people who get it great the people who don't oh well. I'm not changing to fit I'm me I'm weird and athentic and if others don't like it they can just steer clear it won't bother me

I've long sense learned not to worry about being understood by everyone if people like and understand me great if they don't oh well no harm done

[@BMGPark]

Dear INFPs, Don’t assume people will read your mind or your nonverbal signals. If you don’t speak up and let people know, they will not know what you want or don’t want. Lack of communication on your side is mostly why you are misunderstood, not because others want to misunderstand you. I had two people in my family who are constantly in a victim mind set and it took over 10 years to make them understand that you need to communicate, as people are not mind readers. You are not a victim.

[@healingandgrowth-infp4677]

Video has too many images of work ppl not relevant to what it is about or spoken about n not related to who a infp is just causing stress watching it n makes listening difficult also with the speed in which it is spoken n words not being all English had to put the playback on lower speed setting to follow most of it
