Mostly I left that decision on my parents. I'm now the least self aware xd

Thanks! But I'm still anxious alot too.

As an INFP who has a child with an ENFJ I can say it’s not good romantically, but as friends it’s great. We have the best conversations. It’s usually him complaining about his job (same complaints for years now btw) and me telling him to stop staying in the same cycle. People say INFP’s don’t listen. I’d challenge that after having known my ENFJ for 30 years. It’s funny too because the solution seems so obvious to me that I can’t understand why someone like him hasn’t already figured it out and taken action on it. Weird.

10:10 italians are intuitive feelers

if you're "not sure," you're a sensate...

I'm surprised anyone would be confused on this. N\S is the biggest distinction there is. Ns are big picture thinkers. They like ideas and want to talk about things that are abstract and don't exist in the real world. They see patterns that make others uncomfortable or laugh (in their willful ignorance). They are NOT accepted by the majority and don't like most people, if they're honest with themselves. We live in a broken world, largely aided by the morbidly blind sensates that surround us. If you're an Intuitive, you understand this and despise most people and prefer to be alone, because of this...

The thing is for a lot of people in this comment section, you should not talk abou Jesus from the Bible if you're not considering every fact about him written in the Bible.

(Big text bacause I'm enthusiastic about this and bad writing cause it's not my first language ) For me as an Infp i always know how things feels like, how danger and pain feels like and as a human i need to take care of myself but i also have this desire that when I'm feeling healthy enough so i can help others who need it (when they recognize they need it of course) I don't like the idea of: I'll let people do whatever they think is right, because that way insensitive humans would have that permission to cause harm to other people and destroy God's creation for fun just like evil acts like because we have to remember that humans have this sinful nature while Jesus doesn't come back for second time. Also, that thing to put yourself to serve others is definitely ok as a moral principle, but it shouldn't be everything and only. Jesus didn't feel our imperfect feelings because he was and is still perfect without any sinful nature, so he couldn't be that example of taking care of his own feelings or needing other people's help to deal with his internal problems, instead we can read about Jesus praying always to his Father whenever he had something internally important to communicate and ask for. As sinful nature humans, we need to solve personal problems, including spiritual ones just like the other people we want to offer help and life quality as much as we can. We're in this suffering cycle much more than Jesus because sin is inside of us. I don't think infjs are perfect. Of course not. Only the fact they can't use the 4 functions left already means they lack a lot, just like all personalities do. Jesus as a perfect God probably uses all the cognitive functions possible. But he knows the right time and occasion to use them. You're right, if Jesus were INFP the focus of salvation wouldn't be focused ( even though if it's included ) on service, but self recognition, which would probably lead everyone to understand themselves so they could understand so much more accurately others and then truly solving each other problems through service and honest connection to God, which would lead everyone to understand so much deeper about core values and the truth about what and why sin is definitely a bad thing and love is the best thing ever, so we could be truly and purely connected to the meaning of everything having always with no exception the motivation to move on believing and trusting on our God's cause for EVER. Unfortunatly we infps have this understanding of how deep our FI is, but most people don't, God only planned to give to everyone what he knew everybody could understand the best way and also what perfectly represents Him. I'm sure the perfect Jesus infp version we'll be able to meet in heaven where he will be able to show us everything he is, not only what we know about who he was here on earth

what a goal

1:18 the small sub-machines they could make ? what's that ?

We need INFP"s to become global governance leaders, such as presidents and such. Maybe we wouldn't have so many wars. Perhaps INFP leadership might be better at reducing all the havoc that's going on globally. Something to think about..

My best friend is ENTJ. While she is more operated from being emotional and operates more on intelligence empathy, rather then the one that comes from the heart, her grounding did wonders for this INFP chaotic mind. She allows me to be my emotional self. Nurtures my love for hobbies. I really love her. With ISTP true on them not initiating anything. Then they will be upset when you drift away. Also, they don't seem to like emotions. They hide from those like a plague. Pride themselves in being able to do a lot and being disciplined and logical. Now ESTP friend and brother are probably the only thinker after my ENTJ who could literally cut through lies and tell you like it is. Their motto was- you will thank me for telling you this as I allowed my emotional self to overcome. I appreciate honesty to the maximum and ESTP do seem to have a decent amount of it. ESFP are chaos incarnate. Can't handle them.

an infp who prefers intuition is an enfp 🤔

I am just over fifty and not every moment is like that but I definitely have this experience and people make this comment a lot, that they feel good just seeing me and my smile, that just being shines a light.

Soo truee

Thx, i needet that so badly ...

I guess im an INFP that shares many similar traits of INFJ.

I love your videos erik 💟

This explains why there is so much variation among INFPs. I wonder if other types show this much variation. It makes me wonder if our true strength is that we are highly adaptable.

This is a great video. I am a mix between INFP 1 and INFP 4 if that's possible. But maybe more of the first one.

Точно! Я в плохом стараюсь найти что то хорошее.. Минусы превратить в плюсы)))

As always, Eric, spot on accurate and quite nuanced at the same time. I'm a mature INFP. ❤

another INFP reporting in. my brothers and sisters. i did the MBTI test 8 times within 2 weeks. always INFP-T. the only things changing were introversion and intuition. intuition spiked at the last test on 98%. on the first it was about 78%. introversion from 98% to 83%. and i see myself in every subtype explained in this video. i am everything and nothing. p.s. i had a waaaaaaaaaaaaay longer text. but i decided, that this here is enough xD

True.... Im ISFP based. But years i changed into INFP through experience in life. But i can tolerate we're same as base

Мне очень жаль молодых ИНФП кто будет работать не по призванию души и сердца..Очень хочу что бы они не совершили ошибку в своей работе и не жалели потом об этом..

Teacher. Should have been/ should be a counselor?

I probably should have been a librarian.

Thank you , the video was really nice ^-^

I want to give this man a hug. So thoughtful and honest.

❤

Tough part is seeing stuff that you are not able to tell or explain to others. The society disinformation campaign is so effective that the truth is immediately dismissed.

My best friend is an INFJ, who is also my husband. I really love his sense of humor; he brings so much fun and positivity into my life. He also loves people, so we can together think about how to bring peace and love to the lives of others. He is also my safe space for all of my emotions ❤

Dying to find a real connection with others, while dying to separate myself from those who I just dont trust at all.

More likely to get upset with things: Yes!

Him talking: Me: i have and headphone of the same color, cool (But i agree with the vid, to)

Thank you 🙏

Me at freetime: INFP Me at work: INTP Me at crisis: INSTEFIFPJTFTFF! 🤯

I don't know, it's things like this that makes me think that the whole mbti system is flawed. I agree with Eriks final statement we are how we are. And the dicotomys are not always that pronounced. Furthermore thinking vs feeling is a poor choice of words. Its easy to imagine a scale from introvert to extrovert. But its quite a bit harder to see the same scale between thinking and feeling. They are not natural opposits in the same way and we all use them simultaneously all the time. They both also have very strong values connected to them. No one wants to be portrayed as being either coold and unempathetic or unthinking and controlled by emotions. I know that this is not exactly what it means in the mbti system but I still makes it hard to understand because that's what we have in the back of our heads.

Asking questions about their fav books,shows,hobbies would be useful to getting to know them.

This so relatable 😂

Te inferior is brutal 💀 Thank you for this advice.

how infp stop feeling defective? Just give me 1 million dollar. -infp

❤ Thank you. Always spot on! I wonder how childhood trauma impacts INFP 😔

Thank you so much for these videos. They help me in so many ways

Спасибо за поддержку Эрик!)

I misread the title and thought it said detective. Please release the detective INFP video. Also, I am more and more convinced that I picked up counterproductive beliefs from my parents. Looking back, the beliefs my parents taught me seem preposterous, but I depended on my parents, and they were adamant that I didn't understand why they were right, and that what I wanted was never the point. I can consciously say I do not believe most of those things now, but have moments when I realize that those beliefs are built into my body language, my choice in words, my work life, the way I let friends mistreat me, the clothes I wear, my habits, how I arrange my home, the chores I neglect, the way in which I apply abstract concepts to my understanding of the world. It's very discouraging to see that I've been hitting my head against the wall for years based on things I know are untrue, but I am still programmed to embody in my life.
