'nkHideaway by The Weepies. I'm cheating a little - there's one song on it (Wish I Could Forget) that I don't necessarily really like. But I think it's decent and certainly don't dislike it. Other...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-6iVkWFhzs I'm not sure about the meaning of the whole song, but one line really stands out to me because it exactly describes the feelings behind my social...
I'm one of those people who gets a lot out of representation in fiction of people who have dealt with the same things I have. I'm curious to ask, does anyone know of books, movies, etc. about male...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ygxv04SoVM The Weepies' songwriting is really interesting. Their lyrics can be a little abstract and aren't always clear, but they evoke strong emotions even so....
I graduated college last month and I miss it so much. I didn't really expect to - there were a lot of things about my school I didn't like, and some parts of my time there weren't very happy. But...
Thanks everyone! Your input is much appreciated. Moodville: I actually read Siddhartha back in 9th grade. At the time I mostly just thought it was weird and didn't get much out of it, but I was...
I love finding stories that I can relate to, but I very rarely seem to actually come across a character who seems similar to me... out of curiosity, does anyone know of some creative works (like...
Shut Up and Dance by Walk the Moon. I'm not a big fan of most well-known pop songs about love, but I genuinely, unironically love this one. Maybe it's because the narrator of the song sounds sort...
Dirty Dancing. My mom wanted me to watch it with her yesterday evening, it's one of her old favorites. I thought it was slightly ridiculous but I stayed around for the whole thing anyway. She...
Disney movies actually make me feel kind of sad in a weird way. I guess they're these almost perfect-seeming stories that take place in bright, beautiful worlds, where the good characters are kind...
Just by chance - does anyone know of any cute love stories about a shy, sensitive INFP-ish male character? And ideally a sort of bubbly, caring female character. It can be a book, movie, short story,...
As a male INFP, it's true that I don't really talk about sexual things. Except with my best friends who are also guys. It's not because I don't think about it or am not interested in it. I am, to be...
Thanks for responding. :) Yeah, I relate to what you said. That's also why I like this forum - ironically, despite the fact that I haven't met other people here in real life, I feel like it's one of...
I really want to be understood and cared about. Maybe more than I want anything else. But I feel like, if anyone really did understand me and knew what my mind was like and everything, they wouldn't...
I'm a 21 year old guy and I cry sometimes when talking to my mom. Only when talking to her - it doesn't happen with anyone else. (The only other times I ever cry nowadays are when seeing an emotional...
I'm feeling a weird sort of sadness. My younger brother graduated high school today. Of course I'm happy for and proud of him, but of course everything has to stir up complicated difficult emotions...
I have all of those problems, except #3 most of the time.
Yeah, my mom is an ESTJ. A lot of the time when I was growing up, especially when I was in high school, she'd be strict, act kind of cold sometimes, and yell at me when she didn't approve of some...
I feel you, OP. And the other posters. Any of you can message me if you want someone to talk to. I wouldn't mind a new friend on this forum, honestly. And I'm a friendly guy who you can be open...
I kind of understand that. I have really strong emotions and convictions on the inside, but it can be very hard to express these in words, and even if I could, it might seem weird. I'm also kind of...
Haha, I've spent some time on Tumblr and I know what you mean. To tell the truth it's kind of a general trait of a lot of Tumblr users to play up their selfless goodness and special different-ness....
Hey, hang in there, man. I've been through similar situations - I know how you feel. Just wanted to offer some sympathy. From my experience, trying to talk to people - even if it doesn't always go...
Same. I think that sentence could serve as a great summary of INFPs, haha.
Well, do you need an excuse to be an atheist/agnostic, other than just that it's what you really believe?
Aw. You seem cool, feel free to send me a request :happy:
Social anxiety and lack of skills, probably. Basically difficulty with meeting, interacting with, and getting to know people.
I just want to say, I love you guys. Just you guys on the INFP forum in general. Whenever I go on here, I see a lot posts from people who seem really quirky and emotionally open and sweet and...
I've been listening to this lesser-known Bob Dylan song Up To Me a lot lately. It's complex, melancholy, and beautiful. It makes me miss the late part of my senior year of high school like hell....
I like jeans, T-shirts, and flannel. And colors, even though most guys don't seem to wear colors much. Out of the clothes I have, my favorite thing to wear is these medium blue jeans, an amber-yellow...
People who say those things are wrong. Don't listen to them. I really hope you get better.
I saw this post in an email notification and just had to click on it and confirm my suspicion that it was actually an extrovert making a joke.
Still - forgetting to do things happens. People make mistakes. Don't blame yourself. The fact that you're thinking about this shows that you cared about her.
Everyone forgets things. You didn't know.
Well, can you learn to like the person you are? I know it's far easier said than done, but I do think it is an option.
Thanks for that. I've been having similar feelings lately.
You can talk to me if you want. Send me a message whenever. :happy:
Dude, I think you just perfectly described the way I feel a ton of the time. That's amazing. I guess at least we're not alone, haha.
I cried at Inside Out. I saw it two months ago with my dad and my brother, just because they happened to be going that day - I didn't expect to get emotional. It's basically a kids' movie, for...
Alone time with my computer (for Internet, writing, and music mostly).
It's probably a fairly common INFP thing, but listening to a song that I heard a lot during a certain time in my life brings back strong memories of what that time was like. And if it's a time that I...
I'm a male INFP, and while most of my friends are male, I think I prefer female friends more. As far as I can tell there are a few reasons. One is that I had almost no female friends for most of my...
If this wasn't clear, I meant to write It isn't true that you're not 'offering the world anything'.
I'm very sorry for what you're going through. I can understand some of it - I have been depressed too (and a podcast about how to talk to girls is something I should probably hear myself). I know it...
Me too... like I'm at a good private college without much financial aid, because my parents basically said money wasn't a concern when I was 17 and applying to college. (They cared more that I got in...
I understand. I want the same thing, except from a girl.
Thanks man, same to you. :hug:
Oh, I'm a 4. Maybe I have some 2-ish traits. Or maybe it's a different kind of feeling. I just kind of want people to notice my good and unique qualities and give me affection.
You're pretty. :happy:
I know that feel, man. Everyone just wants to feel cared about, especially INFPs.
Totally normal. It doesn't mean you're not an INFP or anything. In fact, when people say INFPs have inner worlds, I don't think they necessarily mean a world of fictional/imaginary things - it can...'
