I cannot agree more. I’m an ENTP raised by sensors, but luckily they were very supportive. In childhood, it was my curiosity and wild imagination that set me apart, eventually leading me to be the first college graduate and studying psychology and personality typologies of all things. It’s amazing looking back to nearly every conflict growing up (and even now) to see intuition/sensing miscommunications throughout. Especially my mother (ESFP) who is basically the reverse of my shadow functions. We are so different, and her wild Se drives me crazy, but somehow I think that’s what’s made her feel more like my best friend than my mother. All my life, her advice to me has been basically “Slow down. Stop worrying. Live in the moment.” While most of my conversations with her include some form of “Mom, wait. Did you even think this through? Seriously. WAIT” I definitely think that we are a rare example of opposing personalities somehow finding balance.
As an INFP, I am the only intuitive in my family... and I was definitely considered the strange one! Many sensors tend to think I am weird and would say that to me.
Is it common for intuitives to feel absolutely terrified of the world? Not only do I not know where I fit in, I'm also afraid of most other people and happenings in the world. Doesn't help that I live in a country in which the culture and values clash heavily with my own. I feel like I'm standing on the edge of the crowd all the time watching and observing, never joining in. I learned how to be sociable and friendly but I still can't figure out where the fear comes from. It's not shyness or self consciousness. It's just ... being overwhelmed by everyone else and the way things run in this world. A senseless swirl to me.
I’m not sure? I’ve personally never felt terrified of the world. But I’ve felt angry at it. Sad about it. Indifferent to it. Scared (not terrified, which seems to have a fear of physical safety to it... possibly like how people might feel in your country) to participate in it. You might want to explore that metaphor there about standing on the edge of the crowd. What’s to your left? Right? In front? Behind? What’s in the center of the crowd? What are they looking at? What’s above? Think about analogies and idioms connected to those locations. IE “What have you left behind?” “What’s right in front of you?” “What’s right for you?” “What are you not facing?” Etc. I have some videos about metaphor discovery.
I don’t think this has to do with intuition. It’s probably high neuroticism. I, F and P dichotomies make a person more likely to be neurotic. To keep your neuroticism in check, you need to hone your judging side. Get organized, and that will keep it in check.
@@joshuasukup2488 I'd say Se Trickster is even worse, because if you want to apply your Sensing side, you tend to get inaccurate or outright skewed/falsified information so INxPs (INFPs in particular due to their Ti Demon) can easily be thrown off.
I'm an ENFP that was raised in a family of sensors. I tried to make it work. I really did. For 32 years, I tried with all my heart to fit in and be "one of the guys" in the family. But after the pandemic started ... I gave up, and I don't think that's a bad thing -- I voluntarily estranged myself from my entire sensor family about a year ago. I only have contact with my ISFP mom, and barely that. It was just too hard being the black sheep and being blamed for everything. Being made to feel like I was the problem just because I saw things in a much bigger, macroscopic POV or seeing how things are all connected, but they would just tell me I was being melodramatic and dismissed me and honestly it felt like gaslighting because my reality was being categorically denied. For my own mental health and sanity, I don't feel like staying in that environment was a healthy choice. I hope any young intuitive dominants out there don't feel too pressured to be someone you're not, just to fit in. Family is just a starting place, you can find a family of your choosing. It was heartbreaking to leave, but it was the right thing to do after so many years trying and failing, sometimes you gotta just be yourself.
You describe my ENTP experience of the pandemic to a tee. My intuition would see the larger picture, and the Machiavellian intentions behind the pandemic to restructure society into something permanently dystopian. My Ne had seen it all before, and easily connected the dots. Meanwhile, all the sensors around me were busily complying with full faith in the government whilst trying to assert how erroneous my mindset was. With the first lockdown I immediately forecast a number of probable consequences or actions we would witness. I knew they would try to stifle the economy further with a war. That there would be engineered scarcity. That fuel prices would skyrocket. That a recession would be imminent and that there would be a domino closure effect upon many businesses. That Bill Gates was telegraphing when he said there was a threat of smallpox, and that pox “symptoms” would be the next virus. I knew they would implement personal carbon footprint tracking ala a social credit score (Sweden, MasterCard). And I was correct about energy being rendered unaffordable starting with Ukraine. And still they agree that I may have been correct about all of that, but it’s as though I am a petulant child whose further predictions cannot be correct. The certainty of the Se users and the mass-media driven psychosis & brainwashing and obtuse myopia is indeed used to gaslight us. But… we know. We see through the charade to which they keenly submit.
I had this conversation with my mother (Esfj) today o: . I wanted to show her perspective. She tends to not respect that Her children are different and have a different mind set. Interestingly enough i got see this video now. Thank you:)
Carat Noona lol you know the Struggle then haha. No, but seriously nothing wrong with Esfjs its just difficult when your mindsets Sooo Far Apart. My type, Intj. How about yourself? :)
SmileZone I'm INFP imagine her frustration with me lol we don't have the best mom-daughter relationship due to our differences while I was growing up. We are more aware of it now tho and we listen to each other more than we ever used to :)
Carat Noona omg wow my siblings an infp so I Know exactly what you mean. Infps + Esfj mom = So much tension sometimes lol n well at least you two try to listen to each other
OMgosh, I totally relate to this daughter INFP and mother ESFJ struggle. My mom tested as an ENFJ at her accounting firm, although I don’t see how she could be an N in any way, we literally don’t speak the same language, in fact most of the time I have to put my words in very straightforward, simple, concrete terms for her to understand. Do you have any insights on whether she could possibly be ENFJ, or if she may have tested wrongly, because she doesn’t understand metaphors and doesn’t just “get what you’re saying” unless they are cliches that she’s already heard. Thank you 💗🦋🌸
I'm an Enfp and I grew up with an ESFJ mom and an ISFP dad. It's very odd how I guide my mom through deep conversations and she just plays nice and listens and we talk but Its always frustrating trying to pull that bigger picture perspective constantly where as shes frustrated by my lack of practical skills when it comes to life like filing taxes lol this video really helped me realize theres a whole world out there and I can make my life the way I want it so thanks again for a good video! :)
Your mum is so ESFJ. 🤣 She tries so hard to play nice. That’s so sweet. My boyfriend is the same. ESFJ. He makes such an effort to listen to me, but either he gets impatient after a while or falls asleep! 😮 I‘m not mad at him though. How could i? He’s an ESFJ. I adore them. Such kind people.
When I was a child (and still to this day perhaps) I spent much of my time asking my parents large, hypothetical, imaginative questions which would lead my parents to say something along the lines of 'What's the point? None of this is going to happen!' or 'How is this related to *insert practical thing*?' which often irritated me as I just wanted to know out of curiosity...(INFP with ISTJ father)
Wow, I didn’t know intuitives were only 25% of the population. Since I don’t have Fe (I’m an ENFP), I don’t worry about not “fitting in”, but I feel more like a wild animal in a cage when I’m supposed to do something like taxes. Before I understood more about different cognitive types, I thought it was so bizarre that people would grocery shop for “the week”, or even more bizarre, plan meals for an entire week. I thought, “how would you know what you were going to be in the mood for ahead of time?” So now I see not everyone is a wild, extroverted, intuitive animal living from pure id and instinct, roaming the land, open to endless opportunities and possibilities. Who knew?😉
Wow I've always wondered how other people have full fridges and cook food 3 times a day every single day! Or like cleaning the entire house every single week! Or praying 5 times a day (Muslim relatives) every day! Doing all of them smoothly?? I would go crazy. I thought I was the only lazy one before knowing mbti lol.
One of the techniques for avoiding going for groceries a lot (a task i dislike) is to just stock up and be done for the week. I do lose the variety and ability to be equipped for any mood, but for me its worth it.
LOL, same but I married my sensor on purpose he grounds me. We have 2 intuitive children an ENTP like my self and an INFJ. He was a very good influence on them especially our ENTP son. Both my husband and our daughter are introverted feelers so they get each other in that way but as a sensor in many ways he's odd man out.
Communication tips? Apparently nothing I say is okay, my wife takes my thoughts and stuff as personal attacks, and I’m beyond ready to split. She doesn’t even care, so it seems to me.... I should just go right? It’s never going to get better I don’t think
Rage moure i‘m afraid your situation has nothing to do with being sensor or intuitive. My boyfriend and i are opposites, but we balance each other. I need his groundedness, because I’m too aloof.
@@angelicatrino2498 oh gosh no, he works hard at his job but doesn’t do housework or cook. He doesn’t pick up after himself or see the dirt and mess. He is the messiest one in the house. It drives me crazy.
Yes! Welcome to my world. I only learned why we are so different, in July. I am 60. Check out Reddit and meet some of us. I'm PoncesMom there but haven't been able to spend time there lately. This channel is wonderful also.
That epiphany when I learned about MBTI and the S vs N distinction is the first on plunge into the typology rabbit hole. Fortunately I have an ENTJ brother so we connect in that respect, but I can't say when he first got an N friend, and it took me until high school. Fortunately there seems to be a decent number of N fictional characters and authors, but having a physical community that has some N's would be nice.
lol, the rabbit hole. I tumbled down the rabbit hole in July of last year. Its fascinating and none of my sensor friends care about MBTI or personality typing and temperaments. You might want to check out Reddit and meet your community (and or tribe). I am 60 and an INTJ who now finally and thank goodness) understands why she is so very different.
What percentage of Sensors even watch MBTI related videos? 😆 Well in general the Se doms I typically see are ESTPs and ISTPs. Makes sense since they have Ti in their dom/aux stack.
It is very cool to see sensors into mbti. I apologize for the judgement, but I had the same question as the person who asked that. But I’m always happy to be wrong 💗 Peace out
I would love to know all the types and percentages that watch typology videos. My hunch is Fe is common and also N types, but alas how could you know with certainty, when people sometimes mistyped themselves. (I have gotten 3 different types from the same MBTI test! Lol)
In my case “the world behind the veil” of energies that drive this world is reality. Because everything starts from the invisible. People are just energies within a body and there are also energies without a body. But that is a scary thought for most people and I always laugh with that saying “a schizo is never alone”, which is the truth from my point of view. My senses are often too sensitive and just going to the store and hearing all those commercials and the wild music playing, makes me irritable. I also hear very low and very high frequencies nobody around me seems to hear, annoying sometimes. Sounds are also felt by me....I feel the vibrations...and a sudden sound can give me a kind of shock in my heart-centre. I create music, usually within the frequency I like to hear. Very loud screaming voices are not for my ears. Energies around me communicate through me. They’ve given me proof of their existance...for other people this is hallucination...but it isn’t. I hear voices...yes...and when I’m around people these voices can takeon the voice of the person talking to me. That can get really strange. I often hear something that has nothing to do with the conversation....I never knew this was the case and assumed the person who was talking to me was saying that ....but when I was in a very stressfull situation talking to 2 people, feeling attacked, it suddenly was clear that I was hearing things that were never really said. It seems like I often get into a sort of trance...often when I feel bored in a conversation....and then I get memories - which aren’t mine - but I say things very spontaneously which make sense to the person in front of me. It can be that someone tells me about their father who died and then Isay “ he liked thosechips”.’’because I act upon the memory Iget...but I say it before I realize that the memory isn’t mine. It is very difficult for me to be around people and really BE INDIVIDUAL and stay focussed. The psychiatrist I’ve talked to also notice. Whatever is bothering them I just start to talk about, I just get a name that leads me to a country singer I’ve never heard of and THAT happens to be the psychiatrist favourite singer. I’ve seen weirder than weird and I accept the fact that nobody understands It’s difficult to talk about this with people who don’t experience this. The world outside is JUST TOO MUCH FOR ME to deal with. Thank you for the video. Many people do feel like an alien.
Wow. Thank you for that detailed explanation. Very insightful into your world. It sounds overwhelming, but there definitely seems to be an important gift within it.
Great video! Just a thought, do you think that a lot of sensors may mistype intuitives as sensors because they don't understand intuitives, and because there are more sensors in the world and they think that people should be more like them because it makes more sense to them? I've been trying to really figure out my personality type and the more I look into sensor vs intuition, I definitely relate more to being intuitive.. I'm pretty sure I am INFP and my mom I'm almost positive is SJ.. we have always clashed and she could never really understand me or read me because my way of thinking and expressing myself didn't make sense to her... She always said I over complicated things and she kept trying to get me to understand her way of life and etc... I have also had sensors type me as ISFJ, and I'm wondering if I'm getting that type from being raised by an SJ and from being raised in a world that is more SJ dominant... So there's a good chance that I show some of those traits since it was always forced onto me...
I think you are definitely fi or te dichotomy, as for your N/S ask the question what is more important people's intent or thier results? (If someone tries to help on thier own initiative, but end up making things worse, did they do good or bad) if you value the result you are S, if you value the intent you are N.
"Everybody sees you as the weird guy" - I've absolutely felt that one, and it hasn't just been family but virtually any other setting as well in which people perceived me to not fit in, to be strange/weird/whatever and thus subsequently being labeled as whatever you may come up with. However, this feeling is mutual, because I (being an INFP-T) still tend to not understand this world, and I'm almost turning 49 now. As a side note, I do know how things work, but they seem to be so absolutely strange (and sometimes outright nonsensical) to me. The only time I really feel at ease is around other Intuitives.
Instant affection at the first time watching your video. My feeling tells me , that you are an either an INFP or INFJ. sending you the love and support from China:)
Hello! Thank you for this video! I don't if you answer questions, but I have one. Have you noticed whether intuitive types have less, especially the introverted types, have less physical energy and to work less and rest more as compared to sensors?
It only looks like that, but the truth is the two expend energies differently. Intuitives expend theirs internally - mentally (maybe emotionally). They can live in their own heads just musing over ideas, theories, possibilities, the future, the whys, intentions, purpose, etc etc. And digging hard & fast enough down a rabbit hole is the intuitive's version of exhaustion. Or depression (when they become stuck and obsessed over one idea/thought).
This is great for open minded Sensors. I think learning how to healthily use Fi no matter what your stack can help though, unless you go overboard and stop conforming to the point where you can't function in society.. Then it might be time to Fe... LOVE this channel, keep it up Sherman! - Luv from a confused INFJ 5w4 😊 ⭐ 🌺
Hello. I am an INTJ 5W4 also. At 60, I lean towards INFJ but lead with my Ti. I'm not tribal and don't enjoy talking about feelings but since we need a healthy balance...
Thanx for this great video I love to hear you speak and give insights. You made me feel at HOME FINALLY. I mean there is only some 10 percent INFP !!! NO WONDER we veel alienated.......Sometimes I think the REAL world is Such a HARS environment, in order to SURVIVE we have to push the ESCAPE button, and live in our OWN INSIDE DREAMWORLD. The INF TYPES do that, IN ORDER to cope with REALITY. This is harmless, when you do that Sometimes. But IT can be DANGEROUS if you do IT constantly. Than you BECOME COMPLETELY cut of from the REAL world. And EVERYTHING around you shuts down. Luckily we can seek comfort in each OTHER.. HUGZ HANS
Same :D Luckily, I grew up with two intuitive parents (INFP & ENFP) and they've always been rather comfortable with being a bit "weird", so I never tried too hard to fit in. And then there's my ISFJ brother, bless him, he's the one who fits in much better but is the odd one out within our family (he's still loved of course :3)
For most of my life, I didn't know about the intuition/sensing distinction. But I always wondered why "they" (practical people who didn't understand how amazing the world *could* be) should be allowed to define what "real" was. Why is a ditch more inherently authentic than the clouds? I refused to acknowledge their "real world", thinking that I could craft an equally real alternative in which to live my life. There were both good and bad consequences.
I always hated when I'd tell my parents that the world could and should be better and question why they even accept it and they'd say "Well that's just how it is. That's life. Get over it."
ha... my girl told me I'm an analogy machine gun and that it's really annoying. Probably a result of Ni dominance. Also, her family are ALL sensing dominant, and I just don't fit in with them -- they don't understand my humor, my metaphors, my motivations, etc Somehow I get along great with her though. Probably because there's more balance when it's just me and her, instead of me floating in a sea of sensors.
I'm an intuitive or ifnj and are into science and its philosophy or an academic but I noticed I get too annoyed or irritable with noisy people who talks a lot when I'm being silent or just thinking. I become too sensitive after encountering NPD/sociopaths in my self-defense/ protection training before with aggression training and lately with martial arts training for I can't understand the meanings of what they do. It's used to be fun for me but I'm losing meaning. It's like hierarchical or brainwashing people up for a system. I can see things about people, systems and future actions. I don't want to be counselor to bad people. I only end up understanding bad personalities trying to even help them up. I want my me time more like I don't care anymore. I currently excited about neuroscience to quantum physics and new age spirituality. I'm also beginning to write a lot obviously like I don't care if people will be offensive for being frank or doesn't have an intellect for it as long it's truthful. I hate hypocrisy in systems. I did meditation for 2 years after encountering NPD/ sociopath trainers where I get my focus and solve some big problems I have. Yoga keeps me grounded. But I'm being bored with gym and cardio unlike before which I do a lot. Do you think I need to work something up because I'm being too sensitive or irritable with bad or negative people unlike before. I'm becoming more straightforward and frank and don't want to play along if I see things fake unlike before I'm more patient in ways. I'm like becoming an activist or assertive more if I spot things like social structure or flaws in systems. I'm understanding myself better with this psychology models stuff. I have psychologist professor friends but I don't talk them with this kind of stuff. I can't find role models in structural or hierarchical systems. Even in meditation I used to like it but I spotted flaws in belief systems and even in religious system. Am I entering a self-actualized mode phase for an opinion or do I need to work on something?
I don’t get it, I’m an ENTJ and I also follow astrology, I’m highly intuitive but I’m also very grounded and practical being a Capricorn BUT my Neptune and sun are in my 4th house Capricorn(water signs which 4th house and Neptune belong to are known to bring psychic abilities to one), possible to be both or in between? I do often tell myself everyone has a different perspective and view and do keep an open mind. I do feel like a black sheep in a world full of white sheep though.
The question should rather be: Who are the black and who are the white sheep? Sometimes I'm wondering whether or not society is presenting a negative of the actual situation.
@@fairyfellermasterstroke cause of all negative experiences when it comes to interacting with them and having a power of the majority vote to deny your perspective, that's just my view though.
You use the words abstract and concrete a lot. Could you give us an example of abstract thinking? What kind of things do you think about in a day as an intuitive?
I usually have bizarre daydreams which have nearly no connection to reality and zero practicality. Like strange fairy-tale-ish scenarios with strange creatures. Random and chaotic af. Imagine being on psychedelics. That's Ne for me.
This video seem more about intuitive fitting in than about sensors and intuitive. It seems a lot of MBTI videos are geared towards intuitive than both.
I've always wondered how other people have full fridges and cook food 3 times a day every single day! Or like cleaning the entire house every single week! Or praying 5 times a day (Muslim relatives) every day! Doing all of them smoothly?? I would go crazy. I thought I was the only lazy one before knowing mbti lol.
@@GeekPsychology Thank you, now that you mention, your way of connecting functions to fantasy classes and races makes it more clear, you guys are probably the most imaginative of all 16 types. I am ENFP myself 😁
Everyone in my immediate family are intuitives. All of them have Ni as their auxiliary function except me. I am the only one who has Ne and it’s my man primary function. lol interesting family I have.
I liked your video. myself as an ENTP have always been popular but never felt like i fit in. Always been considered weird but in a good way. Most peoples decisions in life i consider absolutely boring and complete waste of time. Not sure where i am going with this but started typing... always been considered cold, distant, emotionaly selfish which is clearly unfair.... as in i always volunteer my time in helping people but the emotional bonding that charity work usually brings everyone else just feels empty... yea i helped you but im never going to see you again so we are not friends. Bye
lol... bastard.. hehe, it's a complicated story, but in short, Monday i have a date with a girl. Who i only seen once before, almost a year i think.. and yes.. she is a fantasy.... even though the date is still to come. I already fantasized how i would tell people (even our kids came in the picture) how i met their mother... This thought happens in a flash, before i realize it and pull myself back to earth.. i love my dreams.. but... it ain't helping in getting the girl... :p hehe yup.. i idolize her.. Seen various futures with her already. One thing i did learn in the years. Is that all my predictions of the future, were always wrong! That's 1 given fact i can work with :p
I cannot agree more. I’m an ENTP raised by sensors, but luckily they were very supportive. In childhood, it was my curiosity and wild imagination that set me apart, eventually leading me to be the first college graduate and studying psychology and personality typologies of all things.

Mine is more like anger and being an observer instead of action-taker.
Maybe you are not getting enough real data (sensing) to make good guesses at the future. If you lead with Ni you may be afraid of the chaos.

None of this is going to happen!' or 'How is this related to *insert practical thing*?' which often irritated me as I just wanted to know out of curiosity...(INFP with ISTJ father)
Makes sense. That's good that you asked those questions though! I just went inward and tried to figure it out myself :P
Yeah, after a while I began doing it alone...
:( Both of my parents and my stepmom are ESxx. I feel ya!
Oh God your father must've been such a difficult person.
Exactly. 99% of answers I get from sensors is "It is what it is." which frustrates me.
Wow, I didn’t know intuitives were only 25% of the population. Since I don’t have Fe (I’m an ENFP), I don’t worry about not “fitting in”, but I feel more like a wild animal in a cage when I’m supposed to do something like taxes.
Before I understood more about different cognitive types, I thought it was so bizarre that people would grocery shop for “the week”, or even more bizarre, plan meals for an entire week.
I thought, “how would you know what you were going to be in the mood for ahead of time?”
So now I see not everyone is a wild, extroverted, intuitive animal living from pure id and instinct, roaming the land, open to endless opportunities and possibilities. Who knew?😉
Wow I've always wondered how other people have full fridges and cook food 3 times a day every single day! Or like cleaning the entire house every single week! Or praying 5 times a day (Muslim relatives) every day! Doing all of them smoothly?? I would go crazy. I thought I was the only lazy one before knowing mbti lol.
One of the techniques for avoiding going for groceries a lot (a task i dislike) is to just stock up and be done for the week. I do lose the variety and ability to be equipped for any mood, but for me its worth it.
You deserve millions of views. This is great !! As an ENTP I love it.
is this a relief thing I watch TH-cam every night before bed and I often watch the same videos
Yyyyyyyyup :P
When I was young, there was an ESTJ of my acquaintance who would say to me repeatedly, "You are so strange.".....me INFJ
And his words still linger...
YES
I guess you just typed your friend yourself. I know because Im an INFJ myself.. Anyways, yeah its so hard being misunderstood.
Good video! I accidentally married a sensor but God had mercy on me and gave me 2 intuitive children to talk to. 😜
LOL, same but I married my sensor on purpose he grounds me. We have 2 intuitive children an ENTP like my self and an INFJ. He was a very good influence on them especially our ENTP son. Both my husband and our daughter are introverted feelers so they get each other in that way but as a sensor in many ways he's odd man out.
Communication tips? Apparently nothing I say is okay, my wife takes my thoughts and stuff as personal attacks, and I’m beyond ready to split. She doesn’t even care, so it seems to me.... I should just go right? It’s never going to get better I don’t think
Rage moure i‘m afraid your situation has nothing to do with being sensor or intuitive. My boyfriend and i are opposites, but we balance each other. I need his groundedness, because I’m too aloof.
Does your sensor husband cook, clean and do the laundry?
@@angelicatrino2498 oh gosh no, he works hard at his job but doesn’t do housework or cook. He doesn’t pick up after himself or see the dirt and mess. He is the messiest one in the house. It drives me crazy.
I do love to speed things up and make changes happen, very true!
I'm an INTJ female born into a family of sensors. Def was the black sheep of the family.
Yes! Welcome to my world. I only learned why we are so different, in July. I am 60. Check out Reddit and meet some of us.
I'm PoncesMom there but haven't been able to spend time there lately. This channel is wonderful also.
INTJ male here, also black sheep and fam of sensors.
That epiphany when I learned about MBTI and the S vs N distinction is the first on plunge into the typology rabbit hole. Fortunately I have an ENTJ brother so we connect in that respect, but I can't say when he first got an N friend, and it took me until high school. Fortunately there seems to be a decent number of N fictional characters and authors, but having a physical community that has some N's would be nice.
lol, the rabbit hole. I tumbled down the rabbit hole in July of last year. Its fascinating and none of my sensor friends care about MBTI or personality typing and temperaments. You might want to check out Reddit and meet your community (and or tribe). I am 60 and an INTJ who now finally and thank goodness) understands why she is so very different.
What percentage of Sensors even watch MBTI related videos? 😆 Well in general the Se doms I typically see are ESTPs and ISTPs. Makes sense since they have Ti in their dom/aux stack.
really? I'm a sensor and extremely into personality theory. sensor biased, perhaps?
It is very cool to see sensors into mbti. I apologize for the judgement, but I had the same question as the person who asked that. But I’m always happy to be wrong 💗 Peace out
Istp's are pretty smart, at least thats my experience
@@condor7430 In my opinion, ISTx are smartest sensors.
I would love to know all the types and percentages that watch typology videos. My hunch is Fe is common and also N types, but alas how could you know with certainty, when people sometimes mistyped themselves. (I have gotten 3 different types from the same MBTI test! Lol)
In my case “the world behind the veil” of energies that drive this world is reality. Because everything starts from the invisible. People are just energies within a body and there are also energies without a body. But that is a scary thought for most people and I always laugh with that saying “a schizo is never alone”, which is the truth from my point of view.
My senses are often too sensitive and just going to the store and hearing all those commercials and the wild music playing, makes me irritable. I also hear very low and very high frequencies nobody around me seems to hear, annoying sometimes. Sounds are also felt by me....I feel the vibrations...and a sudden sound can give me a kind of shock in my heart-centre. I create music, usually within the frequency I like to hear. Very loud screaming voices are not for my ears.
Energies around me communicate through me. They’ve given me proof of their existance...for other people this is hallucination...but it isn’t. I hear voices...yes...and when I’m around people these voices can takeon the voice of the person talking to me. That can get really strange. I often hear something that has nothing to do with the conversation....I never knew this was the case and assumed the person who was talking to me was saying that ....but when I was in a very stressfull situation talking to 2 people, feeling attacked, it suddenly was clear that I was hearing things that were never really said. It seems like I often get into a sort of trance...often when I feel bored in a conversation....and then I get memories - which aren’t mine - but I say things very spontaneously which make sense to the person in front of me. It can be that someone tells me about their father who died and then Isay “ he liked thosechips”.’’because I act upon the memory Iget...but I say it before I realize that the memory isn’t mine. It is very difficult for me to be around people and really BE INDIVIDUAL and stay focussed. The psychiatrist I’ve talked to also notice. Whatever is bothering them I just start to talk about, I just get a name that leads me to a country singer
I’ve never heard of and THAT happens to be the psychiatrist favourite singer. I’ve seen weirder than weird and I accept the fact that nobody understands It’s difficult to talk about this with people who don’t experience this. The world outside is JUST TOO MUCH FOR ME to deal with.
Thank you for the video. Many people do feel like an alien.
Wow. Thank you for that detailed explanation. Very insightful into your world. It sounds overwhelming, but there definitely seems to be an important gift within it.
You are right!
So you see/feel energies within and without matter, I am curious if there is a counter balance of matter without energy?
@@joshuasukup2488 there is no matter without energy. Everything was created by energy
Great video! Just a thought, do you think that a lot of sensors may mistype intuitives as sensors because they don't understand intuitives, and because there are more sensors in the world and they think that people should be more like them because it makes more sense to them? I've been trying to really figure out my personality type and the more I look into sensor vs intuition, I definitely relate more to being intuitive.. I'm pretty sure I am INFP and my mom I'm almost positive is SJ.. we have always clashed and she could never really understand me or read me because my way of thinking and expressing myself didn't make sense to her... She always said I over complicated things and she kept trying to get me to understand her way of life and etc... I have also had sensors type me as ISFJ, and I'm wondering if I'm getting that type from being raised by an SJ and from being raised in a world that is more SJ dominant... So there's a good chance that I show some of those traits since it was always forced onto me...
Yeah we still learn many behaviors from our enviroment so S may be from upbringing.
I think you are definitely fi or te dichotomy, as for your N/S ask the question what is more important people's intent or thier results? (If someone tries to help on thier own initiative, but end up making things worse, did they do good or bad) if you value the result you are S, if you value the intent you are N.
"Everybody sees you as the weird guy" - I've absolutely felt that one, and it hasn't just been family but virtually any other setting as well in which people perceived me to not fit in, to be strange/weird/whatever and thus subsequently being labeled as whatever you may come up with.
However, this feeling is mutual, because I (being an INFP-T) still tend to not understand this world, and I'm almost turning 49 now. As a side note, I do know how things work, but they seem to be so absolutely strange (and sometimes outright nonsensical) to me. The only time I really feel at ease is around other Intuitives.
Instant affection at the first time watching your video. My feeling tells me , that you are an either an INFP or INFJ.
sending you the love and support from China:)
he's an infp :D
Hello! Thank you for this video! I don't if you answer questions, but I have one. Have you noticed whether intuitive types have less, especially the introverted types, have less physical energy and to work less and rest more as compared to sensors?
It only looks like that, but the truth is the two expend energies differently. Intuitives expend theirs internally - mentally (maybe emotionally). They can live in their own heads just musing over ideas, theories, possibilities, the future, the whys, intentions, purpose, etc etc. And digging hard & fast enough down a rabbit hole is the intuitive's version of exhaustion. Or depression (when they become stuck and obsessed over one idea/thought).
This is great for open minded Sensors. I think learning how to healthily use Fi no matter what your stack can help though, unless you go overboard and stop conforming to the point where you can't function in society.. Then it might be time to Fe... LOVE this channel, keep it up Sherman! - Luv from a confused INFJ 5w4 😊 ⭐ 🌺
Hello. I am an INTJ 5W4 also. At 60, I lean towards INFJ but lead with my Ti. I'm not tribal and don't enjoy talking about feelings but since we need a healthy balance...
Thanx for this great video
I love to hear you speak and give insights. You made me feel at HOME FINALLY. I mean there is only some 10 percent INFP !!! NO WONDER we veel alienated.......Sometimes I think the REAL world is Such a HARS environment, in order to SURVIVE we have to push the ESCAPE button, and live in our OWN INSIDE DREAMWORLD. The INF TYPES do that, IN ORDER to cope with REALITY. This is harmless, when you do that Sometimes. But IT can be DANGEROUS if you do IT constantly. Than you BECOME COMPLETELY cut of from the REAL world. And EVERYTHING around you shuts down. Luckily we can seek comfort in each OTHER.. HUGZ HANS
Good info here! I always forget that there are way few intuitives and then I remember and it explains everything lol
Same :D Luckily, I grew up with two intuitive parents (INFP & ENFP) and they've always been rather comfortable with being a bit "weird", so I never tried too hard to fit in. And then there's my ISFJ brother, bless him, he's the one who fits in much better but is the odd one out within our family (he's still loved of course :3)
well said. thank you
For most of my life, I didn't know about the intuition/sensing distinction. But I always wondered why "they" (practical people who didn't understand how amazing the world *could* be) should be allowed to define what "real" was. Why is a ditch more inherently authentic than the clouds? I refused to acknowledge their "real world", thinking that I could craft an equally real alternative in which to live my life. There were both good and bad consequences.
I always hated when I'd tell my parents that the world could and should be better and question why they even accept it and they'd say "Well that's just how it is. That's life. Get over it."
ha... my girl told me I'm an analogy machine gun and that it's really annoying. Probably a result of Ni dominance. Also, her family are ALL sensing dominant, and I just don't fit in with them -- they don't understand my humor, my metaphors, my motivations, etc Somehow I get along great with her though. Probably because there's more balance when it's just me and her, instead of me floating in a sea of sensors.
I love intuitives like ENFP Walt Disney, INFP Michael Jackson, INFP Prince and INFP Tim Burton.
I'm an intuitive or ifnj and are into science and its philosophy or an academic but I noticed I get too annoyed or irritable with noisy people who talks a lot when I'm being silent or just thinking. I become too sensitive after encountering NPD/sociopaths in my self-defense/ protection training before with aggression training and lately with martial arts training for I can't understand the meanings of what they do. It's used to be fun for me but I'm losing meaning. It's like hierarchical or brainwashing people up for a system. I can see things about people, systems and future actions. I don't want to be counselor to bad people. I only end up understanding bad personalities trying to even help them up. I want my me time more like I don't care anymore. I currently excited about neuroscience to quantum physics and new age spirituality. I'm also beginning to write a lot obviously like I don't care if people will be offensive for being frank or doesn't have an intellect for it as long it's truthful. I hate hypocrisy in systems. I did meditation for 2 years after encountering NPD/ sociopath trainers where I get my focus and solve some big problems I have. Yoga keeps me grounded. But I'm being bored with gym and cardio unlike before which I do a lot. Do you think I need to work something up because I'm being too sensitive or irritable with bad or negative people unlike before. I'm becoming more straightforward and frank and don't want to play along if I see things fake unlike before I'm more patient in ways. I'm like becoming an activist or assertive more if I spot things like social structure or flaws in systems. I'm understanding myself better with this psychology models stuff. I have psychologist professor friends but I don't talk them with this kind of stuff. I can't find role models in structural or hierarchical systems. Even in meditation I used to like it but I spotted flaws in belief systems and even in religious system. Am I entering a self-actualized mode phase for an opinion or do I need to work on something?
I can hear across my home, no tv on while sleeping, must be pitch dark and grave yard quite.
Thank you
I don’t get it, I’m an ENTJ and I also follow astrology, I’m highly intuitive but I’m also very grounded and practical being a Capricorn BUT my Neptune and sun are in my 4th house Capricorn(water signs which 4th house and Neptune belong to are known to bring psychic abilities to one), possible to be both or in between? I do often tell myself everyone has a different perspective and view and do keep an open mind. I do feel like a black sheep in a world full of white sheep though.
The question should rather be: Who are the black and who are the white sheep? Sometimes I'm wondering whether or not society is presenting a negative of the actual situation.
Steve Jobs was an intuitive.
Spot on!
The video length is 11:22 subconscious marketing brought me here lol
It must be easy to be a Sensing dominant. But nah, too boring living in a flat world.
inderdaad
Why do people think sensors are boring and stupid and don't have imagination???
@@fairyfellermasterstroke cause of all negative experiences when it comes to interacting with them and having a power of the majority vote to deny your perspective, that's just my view though.
right
I want to try being Se dom in my next life.
I love the thumbnail
Thanks :) I thought the space backgrounds were goofy at first, but I like em :s
Woooaaaaa....intuitives are only 25%? No wonder i feel so alone. I think i grew up with an Sensor fam and i was the black sheep
45-50% of people are SJ.
You use the words abstract and concrete a lot. Could you give us an example of abstract thinking? What kind of things do you think about in a day as an intuitive?
I usually have bizarre daydreams which have nearly no connection to reality and zero practicality. Like strange fairy-tale-ish scenarios with strange creatures. Random and chaotic af. Imagine being on psychedelics. That's Ne for me.
This video seem more about intuitive fitting in than about sensors and intuitive. It seems a lot of MBTI videos are geared towards intuitive than both.
I feel it🥺🥺🥺
I've always wondered how other people have full fridges and cook food 3 times a day every single day! Or like cleaning the entire house every single week! Or praying 5 times a day (Muslim relatives) every day! Doing all of them smoothly?? I would go crazy. I thought I was the only lazy one before knowing mbti lol.
i would bring this up to the person i want to see this, but they don’t even care about all this stuff...
That could be my ISFJ friend. He's absolutely dismissive about all of this.
They r like square pegs in round box!!
I started watching your videos a few days ago, can I ask what your actual mbti is? :)
I’m an INFP
@@GeekPsychology Thank you, now that you mention, your way of connecting functions to fantasy classes and races makes it more clear, you guys are probably the most imaginative of all 16 types. I am ENFP myself 😁
Are intuitives more of a "day dreamer"
I am
Everyone in my immediate family are intuitives. All of them have Ni as their auxiliary function except me. I am the only one who has Ne and it’s my man primary function. lol interesting family I have.
I'm high Ne user who lives with inferior Ne parents and we fight a lot.
Kool I subbed 🤣
Only child of a narcissist and a people pleaser! Made an INTP! Holla!

Nope :)
I was “sensing” partial Asian. See what I did there heh 😆
@@stickerlady1774 no i dont get it
Kyrlics intuiting/sensing play on words
I liked your video. myself as an ENTP have always been popular but never felt like i fit in. Always been considered weird but in a good way. Most peoples decisions in life i consider absolutely boring and complete waste of time. Not sure where i am going with this but started typing... always been considered cold, distant, emotionaly selfish which is clearly unfair.... as in i always volunteer my time in helping people but the emotional bonding that charity work usually brings everyone else just feels empty... yea i helped you but im never going to see you again so we are not friends. Bye
Im happy you wrote. This is exactly me ! And Im ENTP too
lol... bastard.. hehe,
it's a complicated story, but in short, Monday i have a date with a girl. Who i only seen once before, almost a year i think.. and yes.. she is a fantasy.... even though the date is still to come. I already fantasized how i would tell people (even our kids came in the picture) how i met their mother...
This thought happens in a flash, before i realize it and pull myself back to earth.. i love my dreams.. but... it ain't helping in getting the girl... :p hehe
yup.. i idolize her.. Seen various futures with her already.
One thing i did learn in the years. Is that all my predictions of the future, were always wrong! That's 1 given fact i can work with :p
"I don't see the world the way that you do so that redelicious" really?
Sounds like a marriage of enfp and estj....very haaaaard
