Why INFPs Take So Long To Move On

[@BlackSailPass_GuitarCovers]

Good explanation. I'm INTJ but have an INFP friend who I'm trying to understand better. I can somewhat relate to this as we both have Fi.

My problem is that for the past three years, I have been the same person, without any development or growth in any aspect. I don’t have a social life, and I feel fine without it, my brain also don’t feel the need to learn new skills, yet I know I need to learn and grow. However, my brain prefers that I close my eyes and spend hours imagining and living my dreams. When I return to reality and try to learn a skill, for example, to help achieve my dreams, my brain strongly resists, causing me intense anxiety and coming up with numerous reasons not to grow.

It has been 3 months, my ability to communicate effectively seems to be lacking. Attempting a direct approach leads to people pulling up shields and swords. Gentle guidance appears to have no effect. Attempts to dumb down my language leads to others tuning out my words or speaking over me. My tendency to tell stories leads to people concluding that I'm beating around the bush. Attempting to refine my stories leads to misinterpretation. It seems as though it boils down to a few things. People don't have time. People don't care. People misunderstand. I try to show people that I love them. I try to show them that I'm just as vulnerable as they are. Yet it seems all my attempts fail. I fear it comes back to the inevitable truth of it all. I have always been an outlier. Never one of the city. As I look and see the chains they carry, I wish I could do something. Anything.

You seem to have effectively communicated it here? :)

@@GeekPsychology When someone wants to discuss the intricacies of space, it would probably be taken in better by an astronomer. If they went to talk about it with a McDonald's employee, I'm sure they wouldn't be able / wanting to talk about such things. Sure you and others here (including myself) can see how easy it was to understand, but there's a lot of people who to an extent do not or can not.

Feeling Poops: 💩 Sometimes it takes longer to process and digest… Typically Better if I have my own space or stall… Sometimes there exists constipation, or really big things just stay… For the most part I feel the need to interpret and give meaning to the reactions… What needs are the emotions connected to? What values if any are the reactions revealing? And sometimes things are so hazy that I can’t interpret what is happening, and just need to let it pass like weather phenomena. For those things I can interpret, once getting over the initial flood, then I can more easily talk about it with another. Or if I am overly stressed in an emergency situation, needing to attend to the here and now, emotional experience and awareness of needs and wants connected to those, are put on pause and into the back burner for later.

I always wondered why i am so slow with processing emotions..i thought there might be some sort of problem with me..I feel a bit peace now that it might be an infp thing.

[@GeekPsychology]

Maybe it’s not that you’re slow with processing emotions, but rather that you’re processing so many emotions and possibilities
