Lol I don't know if my husband will agree with the peacefulness. I will blow up over seemingly small things. 🤭

This is explained very clearly and concisely. Thanks so much!

You're doing God's work by sharing these precious thoughts to us. Thank you.

Some comments here are 100% accurate about my whole life and how i feel, wtf. As a male infp i also always felt abnormal etc. When I was young i remember a girl, that had a crush in me, saying that im different and special compared to all the other boys. I took it almost as an insult back then, because at that time i just wanted to be a normal cool guy. Im 28 now and had 6 relationsships already, none of these lasted longer than half a year. A lot of girls find me attractive, interesting or mysterious and are intrigued in the beginning but after a while they always lose interested, say that we better are friends or say that they just dont understand me. Being a male INFP feels a bit like being an Alien to be honest :P

I love it that this video elucidates infp strengths and does not give away too much

There's a smidgen of irony when you assign a made-up label to yourself and make an entire channel about that made-up label.

Thank you for making these things plain. as an ENFP, you helped me see how some of my behaviors that I may lay down as exciting, can present as competitive to an INFP man.

Always been on autopilot. Can't explain how much true this is.

This is so useful and beautiful. Thank you, Erik!

Jesus was an INFJ

Wow, this is amazing! ❤ I never thought about it this way... Thank you!

I am an INFP-t I have had depression most of my life, I am 58. The only thing that has helped me is 'Mindfulness meditation'. It gets me out of my head for a little and makes all the difference as far as depression is concerned. I also have anxiety which for almost ten years has prevented me from getting in a car, getting on a bus or a train. In the last month I have got on a bus twice and got in a car for a 30 min journey because of mindfulness meditation, I would recommend it if you are like me and have chronic depression.

This is the most useful video I've ever seen on depression that I relate to. Thank you so much for posting.

Спасибо Эрик.. Бывают моменты когда накатывает тревога и портится настроение. Но это скорее всего не депрессия а страх за неопределённое будущее

Thank you so much Erik; I really needed this. I'm in a long period of depression right now with just lethargy and rumination. The daydream machine doesn't work, and the self-shame machine is full TJ-type thoughts in particular. So again, thank you so much for the advice ❤

😂😂😂💗 this made me lol for real

Thank you!!! <3

It's crazy how you can make someone feel more understood in under a minute than how they feel talking to most people for hours. The insights that you have on personality types truly is amazing

Your videos about personality types are my favorites ones to watch, and definitely burn bright with a light of their own. Thank you for taking the time to share them

YES! I have always wanted a cabin in the woods escape! I go there in my imagination often ❤. I will actually have one soon!

Thanks!

This has convinced me that I am definitely not a feeling type. Thank you!

- writing - listening - deep meaningful conversations - mind-mapping (goals -> steps) - any form of artistic self-expression = calm, relaxed, not-worrying, ease Thanks for sharing, Erik! 🙏💚

This is soo helpfull for me at the moment, thank you soo much!!! 💚(i burnt myself out lately ) btw you are my favourite typology content creator

Listening, yes! Especially to a TH-cam video. I often jot down related and unrelated thoughts that pop into my head while watching. Soon I’m moving around and enjoying what I’m doing ❤ Great video Erik!

thank you for sharing. really appreciate it 7:47

oh yes.. I just turned 31 and finally decided to live my life constantly reminding myself these words - radical responsibility, courage, openness, trust in the flow of the universe 🙏 also that failing equals learning not the end of the world. I think the combination of idealism, perfectionalism with oneself, fear of conflict and not wanting to be forcefully tied down in something is very tricky but also what an INFP really has to address in themselves in order to feel fulfilled

Hi Eric! I hope things are going well for you.

Welcome back Eric! Every year I take one week for myself to move to a hut in the mountains/forest and just be alone while hiking and thinking - the rest of the year I'm there for my family (we still do holidays together, separate to this one week)! It may sound selfish to some non-INFPs - but this keeps me going in the busy society... BTW, the movie "Into the Wild" is a great study of the INFP getting out of the sociaty and moving to the bus in the middle of nowhere... Love this movie!

Missed you too 💕

❤

At the moment a big rock with a hole under it will do 😂 Do you think I can hide from myself too?

I think we should all, or at least the intuitives, escape from society, to be ourselves. I definitely want a house in the forest too.

Thank you. That was very nice.

Excellent. very helpful message. Thank you Erik.

Glad to see you again

Definitely feel like pursuing the cottage dream right now. 🌿🥰🏡✨

💕🥰💗 it’s so easy to be hard on ourselves that I’m grateful to you for reminding us of our strengths

Thank you for your videos they always make me feel so seen and heard and I always leave feeling more at peace!🙏

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
