'Another vote for meditation here, although I don't have much to add to what others have said. To piggyback on another active thread right now travel is another good time to practice, but I'm less...
Honestly, it's probably the surest cure I know of at the moment. I just got back from a trip to Japan and Taiwan, and honestly the pervading feeling of novelty, balance, and just general...
I am an analyst at an investment bank. Definitely a job, and not a career -- it will have been two years this summer, and I'll finally be out. It is a pretty hostile environment for an INFP, and the...
I'm currently 5 months in at my job working in a very type-A, corporate environment. I think I'm decent at my job, because I'm good with the details and keep a calm face (despite inner chaos) when...
Heard this the other day, and it came to mind when I read the title as Dubstep for INFPs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocX6yVsiRrY
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stoLEOQNxw8&sns=em This video has had a profound effect on me since i saw it two days ago. Ive struggled with depression for about three years now, and this has...
Back on topic, after my intense job this summer where I was essentially forced into using Te in order to fend for myself, I find myself able to use logic much more in everyday life, and definitely so...
Stressed by everything. Especially by the caricatures of people that I have in my head, that always seem to depict the worst case scenario or be angry at me, when in real life things are often a-ok....
From what I can tell at least, INFP men seem to be much more of a mixed bag. In real life I can't confirm any, and I doubt others would really recognize me until they had a chance to get to really...
I am all these and this might be one of the best threads ever
Hey all, so here's the deal. In a lot of ways I always feel like I'm trying to hide certain parts of myself around certain people. You see, I'm at a fairly prestigious school (saying this kind of...
I'm pretty sure I come off as innocent to people who don't know me well, I remember hearing it from a girlfriend in high school too. Except when I actually get loose around people I'm pretty fucking...
I like all kinds of hip hop, including some recent artists, but probably my favorite sub-genre of rap was 90's G-Funk. So many awesome rappers started out then, and the beats are timeless. Here's one...
I don't pay that much attention to politics, just because it really makes me sick how corrupt and two-faced our politicians are. That being said, I like him because he seems to be more grounded in...
Whereabouts do you live? I don't know if I've ever met another INFP, although considering my general obliviousness as to how I come off to others, I probably wouldn't be too good at spotting a fellow...
Your description of yourself is pretty much spot on for me. I've always hated making silly mistakes, and I'll usually stay to go over my test at least once if time allows. I also proofread my writing...
I completely identify with you, and I'm basically in the exact same position as the OP. I was actually going to start a thread on manliness earlier today, fancy that. So much to address, but...
Girl next door as well, seems to be an INFP thing haha
I feel the same way a lot, especially if I'm stressed by some kind of social situation, or my complete lack of game haha. Can't say I have any answers, but I have sort of figured out why I feel like...
I just had this exact feeling/thought, just thinking about how after this set of finals I'll have completed three years of college, and despite my success with mundane things like classes, jobs, and...
YouTube - coachella's Channel I wish I was there so badly right now
I can't think of a secret that people could really threaten me with, unless they were somehow to peer into my consciousness and fully unmask me, then use my own thoughts and memories to threaten me,...
Hey guys, I know there are a lot of INFPs that have found or are seeking their passions through their careers, but what about those who grind it out in white collar office jobs? I've set myself up...
I'm in my third year of college. Freshman year was pretty fun just because of all the new-ness, but when that wore off it became a bit tedious. I guess I'm on a bit of a fast track career-wise, so...
The one INTJ I know in real life is often overly critical or negative, focusing on others' negative traits and often speaking with the attitude that he could do better, just because he is aware of...
I collect cigarette lighters, especially when I travel, I always try to get at least one lighter representative of that trip or place. I love the ones that look like other objects, like I have one...
They are pretty rare for me recently compared to neutral or negative days, but usually I'll feel a high just come out of nowhere. I'm much more social, have more of a spring in my step, and just all...
I have, and it pretty much crushed me. I started to hate myself, resorted to weed/alcohol abuse, and developed an unhealthy view of women that led me to pretty much avoid all contact with them. Not...
I don't think there is anything wrong with being different and unique, it should be something that you embrace. While MBTI might explain a lot about your tendencies and behavior, it does not confine...
I've experienced a lot of what you're describing velle. I'm in my third year of college, studying engineering at a very competitive school. I've had trouble really letting people in, and often feel...
I can identify with the feelings expressed in this thread, 100%. I think in large part it is due to our INFP search for truth, the search for our own place in the world where we fit and can exist in...
would an INFP boy signal that he likes me - but not act upon it? (ask for my number or something) Yes, I do this all the time. Girls I make eye contact with all the time, we notice each other, at...
I agree that we come off as serious and a bit in our own heads to strangers, which is annoying because it tends to drive people away. I guess it makes sense for us, since we aren't super social...
Every time that I break through a bout of depression there is one thing in common. I think that as INFPs we have a tendency to get caught up in the big picture of life, but returning to the present...
I've had similar feelings to you for some time. What I've realized recently was that, like gloosle said, it all comes down to accepting yourself for who you are. For the longest time I didn't even...
I usually think I'm delusional in thinking this, but I'm in the same boat. At least among the guys on my campus I'd consider myself reasonably good looking, but I haven't even started developing my...
I definitely resonate with a lot of the feelings the OP mentioned, and some of the replies so far. I wish I could be more extroverted, more logical, more decisive, and I think I wish I could have all...
Smashing Pumpkins-1979 DEFINITELY one of my favorite bands/songs ever! Although I don't have any contributions to make about the video, I know nothing about INFJs.
I personally haven't, but I don't know if there is anyone out there that would to the extent you describe. Perhaps someone who could resonate with feelings of insecurity, whether from personal...
I run away, pretend they don't exist, say ridiculous things by accident (shit just comes out of my mouth). If we make eye contact I look away immediately, which is a dead giveaway but also a reaction...
I'd love to be in a solid relationship right now, and I feel like it would really fill the hole that has been in my life since my last one ended two years ago. Throughout high school girls came to...
It might be similar, probably just more idealized, and I'm less likely to compromise unless someone really comes after me. So I guess yeah, it is a bit different.
I went through a similar experience this summer living with a friend that I believe to be an INTJ. His constant presence, along with the fact that we ate breakfast and dinner together when we weren't...
Just a practical question for you guys, are you able to prevent your emotions from interfering with productivity? Some days, ie yesterday, I felt super lethargic, everything felt like a task, and I...
I haven't taken the test to see what my enneagram is, but this is exactly how I feel about life. It gets exhausting, especially since I've found it harder to straddle these lines in college than in...
I can third this. I guess I seem aloof, especially living in NYC, a lot of times I just can't handle all the faces everywhere. Some I know and so many others I don't, so I just completely zone people...
I'm currently studying mechanical engineering and minoring in economics. Totally opposite sides of the spectrum, I'm straddling this bitch for as long as I can before the decision is forced. At the...
My style is constantly evolving, I'll go through phases where I'll buy a bunch of similarly styled shirts, then realize that I have too many or change my mind and move onto a different style. Plus my...
I agree with pretty much all of this. As others have mentioned in other threads, it really seems to be an aura that the girls I find attractive exude. Unfortunately they tend to be quiet or shy as...
ENTP is my best guess, a very free spirited girl, it was liberating.'
