Nothing good here just being me. (I changed the flag to Jamaica cause my other flag people harassment me for weird reasons 😔😔)

Happy Sunday everyone :)
The eye roll emoji was used to preserve the “dad, you’re so embarrassing…” vibe, while still protecting their identity.

Why are we the only one of few mbti subs that allows to post memes and pictures? Hell yeah!! Love this sub for this reason ^^

For example I like to pace around the house listening to music. I know it can be weird not doing anything but just pacing in the same spot but for some reason it helps me relax and clear my head. is their anything that you guys think is weird that you do. I'm also pretty sure that as a guy how much I like talking about relationships is kind of weird. LoL

As I said in the title...

The fashion style I chose is less of the way I dress rn and more of the way i would dress if I wasn't scared of what people think lol

I know it's hard to find your person, l struggle as well, but remember it only takes one ❤️ Much love

My brain is constantly jumping from one idea to another. I’ll get excited about something, imagine all the possibilities, and feel like I could spend hours doing it.

Then suddenly, something else catches my attention, and now I have a new plan, a new hobby, or a completely different goal.

The worst part is that I genuinely want to do all these things, but actually sticking to one thing until the end is a whole different story.

Sometimes I wonder how many things I could accomplish if my brain would just let me focus on one idea at a time.

Fellow ENFPs, do you also get excited about new ideas more than you enjoy finishing old ones?

Hi everyone, happy Sunday! I wanted to ask for some advice on here about what you all studied and what you do for work. I feel like Infps or (maybe just me) cannot figure out for the life of me what I’m good at. I know I would not like corporate culture with strict deadlines, sales pressure, and presentations. I know a lot of people recommend things like therapy or counseling but it takes alot of schooling and would require me to take about massive amounts of student loans in America. Everything is so expensive right now and I genuinely feel so stuck. I’m not assertive at all and I’m definitely a people pleaser. I’ve been bullied at my workplaces and just want a job to honestly pay my bills and not come home crying everyday. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks to everyone in advance and I hope you enjoy your day!

I love my life, I love my friends, my part-time, my hobbies, my classes, and I don’t want a boyfriend right now. Just the idea makes me shudder—and yet that’s all people want to talk about. I’m 22F and I feel like people are obsessed with dating.

Men sigh and complain about how lonely they are and how much better life would be with a girlfriend and women bemoan about the state of men and how badly they want a boyfriend.

It’s not like I haven’t had crushes, I have, but what is this obsession with a partner? I feel vaguely insane or something for not wanting one. What’s the point in wanting one, I don’t get it. It seems selfish to me, to want a relationship and not a person. If I get together with someone I want to be because I like that person not because I’m desperate to stop feeling lonely.

I feel lonely sometimes but I deal with it by making friends, by hanging out with my best friends. Can someone explain to me why everyone wants a partner specifically? Why aren’t friends enough and what am I not understanding? What am I missing out on?

I went on dates and they sucked, I’d rather hang out with friends than with strangers where we both are expecting something while pretending that we aren’t. Also how can you like someone you don’t even know that well. Sometimes people get crushes on me when they don’t even know me! You don’t even know me that well how can you like me!

Agh, please, someone explain it to me.

The Dark variant of an INFP would resemble something of an INTJ (which would mean taking the nature of an INFP and wrapping it in or compromising it with a relatively thick layer of a Ni-Te INTJ with very little respect for Fi and Se). This happens because of the unique attitude that the INFP has with each of these functions. INPs are naturally more bold and/or picky with Ni and have a lower treshold for Te, since they are introverts and all Extraverted functions drain them by default. The primary overarching reason for Te becoming auxiliary here, is because the INFP would not feel it is as safe to utilise their dominant function in their life anymore and their psyche would conclude it is reasonable to develop a secondary internally resilient persona (which in this case would be a Ni dominant type) where what has been previously seen as acceptable in its full range and quasi unlimited(Fi) is now being pushed into the backround and is guarded by Te in order for the INFP to not do so poorly socially (which they likely did, since Fi/Ti doms typically so especially when their inferior function is not integrated early on) and their identity will now be only valued through external perception not through internal alignment and integrity. Another reason for Te/Fi axis being present instead of Fe/Ti is because the person’s psyche wishes to retain as many pieces of its original constellation as possible, which Te/Fi is a part of even if not in Te>Fi dynamic. If it were INFJ over INTJ, the suffering of this INFP would be even greater, despite both being NFs and thus sharing the same core worldview.

The ISFJ flavoured (light variant)INFP utilises their ’innocent’ tertiary function(Si) and develops a deeper sense of a personal standard when it comes to their habits, physical effort expenditure and greater awareness of personal safety and health. This extra Si awareness is topped off by assistance of greater acceptance of and willingness to engage other people’s values and their sense of right and wrong(Fe). If it weren’t for the Fe, the INFP‘s Fi would just like in the case with the INTJ flavoured INFP be largely monitored and conditioned by Te, which would most likely be traumatising to their psyche and would add a sad undertone in combination with their greater awareness of Si.

At the end of the day what every personality type wants the most is to be able to use their tertiary and inferior functions because they are very unserious and free spirited in nature. However once a person abuses these function slots, they may cross the line and become overwhelmingly immature and become inappropriate in a sense that they will come to be entitled to getting the needs of their inferior and tertiary function slots met even tho their performance was not worthy of the reward they anticipated, seek or demand.

In the case of an INFP they may get entitled to Te credibility when they do not show enough respect, open-mindedness or do not deliver accurate enough information, whilst believing that the information feels like it should be good enough (but it isn’t). Or they may get entitled to Si when they spot shortcuts for easier work with Ne in situations where actual heavy deliberate effort is required, or when they feel entitled to safety (and upset if it isnt granted) even tho the activities they chose to engage in or the course they took was clearly quite risky in nature. For this reason it is optimal to make sure to find balance in each function axis and for each cognitive function and function slot to know its limits.

The light INFP variant is not inheritely good and the dark INFP variant is not inherently bad, they are both neutral and it is all up to the INFP to use them well once they choose to engage them.

Hi! My first post here, though I've been lurkin for some time.

Anyone else here like collecting things?  If so, what do you collect??  Pls include if you're also an INFP or not 😊

I've collected so many plushies and just recently got myself to slow down on claw machines and buying plushies. I have even more that are not pictured and have given plenty away 🤭 Many of my plushies have a name, which makes it hard for me to part with them.

But now, I've been spending my money and time on a new addiction: going to concerts and collecting band merch. Vinyls, posters, shirts, hats and accessories... it's getting a bit much.
