I am INFP-T. Emotion is my gift. I am almost 80 years old, so I no longer expect any level of understanding or acceptance from others, but I still focus on helping others. However, I do honor my need for solitude in order to clear and recharge after being with others.
@@francishaines7843 thank you for sharing your experience. I’m a 35 year old INFP and I have struggled a long time before finding out about any of this. I thought everyone should be the same inside and when I realized I didn’t fit in I lost connection with other humans. That made everything so much worse. I went from avoiding human interaction because I didn’t want to form a bond with someone to avoiding it because I was too anxious to be around other people.
@francishaines7843 I relate at 67 and after discovering that something wasn't wrong with me I now embrace who I am. Goodluck my friend 🧡
@ Yes,validation of why we are who we are is so important. My best wishes to you!
84 here. It's a great gift to be Co.fortablen our own skin.
He definitely understands INFP’s and finds our best way through the world. I’m older and do that now, learned through seeking, but it’s important for younger people to enjoy their best INFP life.
As an INFP guy I have never felt so seen by a creator. I've been watching as many of your videos as I can to try and learn more about myself. I thought I had it all figured out but you go into so much more detail than many other resources. Keep it up. You're changing the world!
Thank you! I’m happy to hear that I’m helping you learn about yourself even more ^^
Iam infp but speech a bit intermittent. It's look like my potential is locked.
Omg me too!
Once again, I'd like to thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and advice! It really helps a lot.
Thanks! Happy to help. Anything else you want help with?
@@GeekPsychology Thanks for asking :) I really struggle to let go of people who don't care as much for me as I do for them... so maybe you could help but it's also fine for me to figure it out by myself, no worries
I highly recommend noting down emotions; it helps A LOT! Especially, it helps me see patterns and frames I was setting for myself. I noticed that in the beginning, I was only writing about hard emotions because I ranked them as valuable. I didn't think about nice emotions as important. Now it sounds really weird, but that was something I had in my head. But after realizing it, I started writing only about nice emotions, pretending like my life is only amazing and happy. My subconscious mind is really funny. After realizing it, I eventually gave myself permission to feel what I feel. It's kind of a funny experience but also very freeing. Is that something common for INFPs? To put some frame on ourselves? To try to force ourselves into our 'ideal' form, or is that more universal?
Yes! I agree that noting all emotions is so eye opening! I'm used to tracking pms related emotions like 'irritable' or 'moody' or 'melancholy' etc. But after getting diagnosed with adhd and doing some deep healing work this past year, I've started to have a lot more positive emotions to write down too! I've also given myself permission to write "contradictory" emotions all in one day, which has given me a sense of freedom to change my emotional state more easily (ex. jubilant and grumpy). Learning to not write off the whole day as sad, for instance, just because of one thing that I felt at 8am, has been revolutionary
5:40 As an INFP I know a negative consequence of this exercise: RUMINATION! I feel that introspectively having that kind of conversation is like digging myself into a hole. And dealing with people with this kind of mentality makes me confused in what is real and what is really just in my head.
man this was such a relaxing video, so personal, its like he is with me in the room explaing things to me, showing great examples and acually teaching me something
Glad you enjoyed it!
That’s a good vibe for me to lean into I think!
Matt (if that's your name, becuase I just watch your videos when they spontaneously appear), I look at you and your body language and I feel already safe and loved. Seriously. Idk how this is possible, but seriously, you do that.
He is a developed or balanced infp, thats why he is so authentic.
Thank you. I’m glad that I’m perceived that way and I’m happy you’re here when you are ^^
I agree!
What a lovely compliment.
This is good. I've spent my life trying to deny myself and my feelings and just focus on being logical. Of course I've never been happy, being an INFP; but I never took the time to understand what it is. My big value was faith in God, allowing Him to rule my life and make all the decisions for me. Now whenever I talk about what I'm feeling, people tell me I'm too focused on myself, which makes me feel guilty and ashamed. So my dilemma is that I want to know who I am and have purpose in my life, but unless those things align with God's will, I am not allowed to exist. The funny thing is though, that God has never made those decisions for me while I've been waiting on Him. Other people do that for me. Maybe I've just been hanging out with the wrong people who want to stifle who I am because they don't understand INFPs. Maybe it's time to have those conversations with myself that others refuse to have with me. The idea of finding happiness in aligning my thoughts, words, and actions makes me feel hopeful of finally having the power to choose to be happy and find purpose.
This video is "You should do this, so that you can be happy."
My question is: Is our goal of life to be happy? To find that "happily ever after"? Because, that wont come in this life.
You can be happy if you choose to be happy. If you don’t want to, then pick another goal and continue to focus on that.
@GeekPsychology wait....did I said that out loud?
Oh my....
Don't worry bout me
Your voice is so beautiful 😍 Thank you from my INFP heart 🐬🩷
Namaste and thank you🙏❤🧙♂️
Manifest rather than dream
Your thumbnails are kind of amazing
Thanks!
This is so helpful. A mistake I’ve made most of my life, perhaps due to being career military, is going immediately to Te when working through conflict. The more I’ve learned to communicate from Fi, the more my wife and others soften to me. Living out of Fi feels extremely vulnerable, but I find it’s the only way other people really hear my true intent.
Thank you so much for these videos. Your videos are so meaningful and they resonate kindness. It reminds me that there's always a kind Infp out there with a good, dazzling mind. Like a magical twin.
My problem is when im shouted at then i get triggered and its very self destructive and hard to get out of that slump of sadness after anger. It takes me a few days but do you have any advice what to do to redirect when triggered as this is the main issue in my life and procrastination and severe anxiety at times is second especially when it comes to serious matters. 😊
You sound a lot like me. 🤦♂️
@@lunarvision yes i think i have adhd or more add. I have a lot of issue with procrastination, mood swings and lack of motivation or doing simple tasks. Its a successful day if i complete one task instead of starting stopping five hundred, or taking 2 hrs for something that should take 20 min lol. A day where i dont end up arguing is a success 👌
"Clear up the past." It's really hard when both of your parents were malignant narcissist and you still manage to somehow be attracted to and sucked in by narcissists whose main goal it is to hurt you and smear you. I have to live with that every day. I want to move away from the situation, but the job doesn't pay enough.... At least I've spent the last two years learning more about narcissism and trauma bonding than I ever have known. And now researching my personality type shows me that my obsessing isn't just from my past, but my type plays into it. I am so ready to get unstuck. Yes, I've pulled myself out of ditches so many times. I just don't feel like I could endure being buried alive again.
With all the love and care:
If it were easy, you would’ve accidentally done it by now. Important things are not often the easier path
not the same.
“Were” and “I have to live with that every day” don’t really fit. The only thing maintaining that focus and habit is you… and you are also the only one that can do anything about it.
Study how your brain works.
Create new habits.
Rewrite your old ways.
You can do it.
And, one has to wonder how you keep ending up in places where people bury you alive.
But at least they’re not very good at it compared to how strong you are to have endured and pulled yourself out so many times.
@@GeekPsychology Funny, I was just watching your videos when I got this. Yes, "were" and "I have to live with it every day." I just took out the garbage and ran right into the last guy I was with, who launched a smear campaign against me that lasted for over a year. I thought about doing something about it, but after learning more about narcissism and finally figuring out that he's a malignant covert narcissist (I really had no idea) my intuition told me not to get in the mud with him and his flying monkeys. Later I learned that I did the right thing. He's making eye contact with me again, and looking at me in 'that way.' I can tell he's still interested, and I have never gotten over him, even though he's not worth that space in my head. This whole situation has driven me to distraction. Thank you for the kind words. Your videos are very meaningful for me and I appreciate our message here.
I'm not attracted to men very often for some reason, but when I am.... He was the first in years. He took advantage of that. The next time I'm attracted to someone who shares that attraction, I'm going to check for signs of narcissism. As soon as I see a red flag, I'm running for the hills. It's a super power I intend to develop that I wish I'd known about decades ago. (We're always attracted to our parents one way or another.) I'm a lot more hopeful about any future relationships because of my new knowledge, but I'll admit, when I run into him, I still wish I could spend some time with him, and find him irresistibly attractive, especially when he looks at me that way. Because of this cognitive dissonance, I've sort of stopped trusting myself. It's an addiction. I just hope I don't fall off the wagon.
U r so amaizing person I have ever seen,,,,you told just what my inner mind say always....
What a nice compliment! Thank you very much and I am happy to share a mind with you :D
I dig your warm, thoughtful style. Thanks, Matt.
I remember that Simpson's episode. I never envisioned dignity to really look like anything haha
^^ what does it look like if you envision it now?
@@GeekPsychology I just picture the scene you mentioned from The Simpsons. I still don't have any idea how I would portray it in a drawing or in my head.
That is one of my favorite episodes
Great video, loved it
Me hearing decisions based on "is this important to me, how do I feel", and thinking but ofc lol. How else could it be lol?
Milhouse’s parents got divorced?!?!? I didn’t know that. 😮
(Nah, don’t worry about, Matt. I’ll eventually get to that episode. lol)
I know, right?! I was shocked too 😮

@GeekPsychology *cue audience gasp* 🪧
😱 😱😱
Easier said then done. What about if dont want to access these feelings too much as they are painful and lead to you realising that you are not living in harmony with your values but do not have a choice but to accept it.
Everything is easier said than done.
Use NLP and self-hypnosis to lessen the bad feeling and open up resourceful ways of thinking. You can depotentiate the negative feelings, but if you should do it or not depends on why you’re choosing to not access them.
There’s always a choice. Sometimes that choice is very difficult. Sometimes it causes more problems if we pursue it. Sometimes keeping things the same is the best for the people we care about. That’s still a choice.
Wow. Now I feel gaslighted. Because sth happened today. And it has no meaning I give it meaning to is getting on my nerves. Sth bad happens and can one give good meaning to it?
Thank God for Meta ai.
And if you can talk to someone you trust about it.
Always helpful!

I'm always torn on whether I'm an INTJ or an INFP...
What’s tearing you?
When stressed, are you more likely to…
Seek escape through sensory experience, familiar or novel (INTJ using Si or Se)?
Or go into problem-solving/research mode and/or try to “fix” things as quickly and directly as possible (INFP using Te and Ti)?
I’ve found this difference to be pretty telling.
Similarly, does logic/reason tighten (INFP) or loosen (INTJ) its grip on you when you are near your breaking point?
@@Nimariel ohhh definitely an INTJ ! The test gave me INTJ . And there's another one I've read that, if you even question whether you're an INTJ or an INFP, then you're definitely an INTJ lols
@@jrtg1990 I’ve also heard that INFPs have a tendency to see themselves as other types due to the constant quest to understand themselves while looking at different possibilities.
I got IDed as INTJ twice over about four years by the tests. I didn’t realize I was actually an INFP until this last year when I started to look into the cognitive function stack stuff. I realized that during adolescence I had kind of fixated on my Te and Ti to escape feeling pain and tried to make those my core identity (with not great success). I also found out (the guy on this channel explains it pretty well) that this isn’t unusual for INFPs. Bottom line, I learned that there’s a significant difference between what you try to do and try to be (especially when stressed or fearing failure) and what you naturally are and excel at.
Could you do a breakdown on John Wick?
I’ve pretty much given up on doing breakdowns of characters because I’ve had so many videos banned from TH-cam that I’ve put in many many hours of planning and scripting and editing.
I’m not sure what it is about my videos that get them banned, but it’s really frustrating.
@@GeekPsychology And yet gore videos and propaganda is allowed to remain on the platform. Of course. That makes TOTAL sense.
@abhijayjaiprakash right? :(
Can tp turn to fp?
Your brain has a dominant type. But one can learn to access the other functions. However, the dominant type is the first function that people will refer back to when under stress. Unless it is a very balanced personality.
being an infp male is a curse. i wish i was anything else
@@kylesmith4185 Eckhart Tolle holds the opinion that a curse is made to be turned into a blessing - so it seems as though life allows it for this end goal it wants you to have, a blessing 🙏
I know bro. I’m seen as weak & as a man, it’s not the best thing to be seen as that
It feels like a curse to me & I am a woman. May it become a blessing somehow.
@@kylesmith4185 It's amazing to be INFP.:) We just need to know how to interact with others protectively and all will be good:) I'm INFP but, I think, It takes time to learn this.♥️😊
❤❤
Whats your enneagram? Just curious.
