As an infp I can talk to myself so well. And maybe that’s because I know I’ll understand myself. But as soon as it’s the time to express my ideas/feelings with other people in a non creative way I lose all my communication skills and end up not really saying anything of substance because you dont really have the time to think deeply about things when you’re in a conversation.
I would have never thought that I would find anyone who has exact same thoughts. The more I look into INFP videos and comments the less I feel like I'm some sort of a freak who nobody understands how I think or feel.
This is exactly what I do too! And then long after the conversation is over, it still wraps around and around in my head till I have every side and view on the topic. But of course by this point the topic never comes up again. I always feel overwhelmed by words in a active conversation, like no matter what I say it wont be what I mean.
Same, I literally talk like this guy, when it comes to talking about things that I truly resonate with, the art that I create. When he was asked so how did it came to you these lyrics, I really felt that struggle through the screen when he tried to put his feelings into words.
Being scatterbrained is one of the worst parts about being an Infp. It’s a curse. I hate having to search for my keys and wallet 6 times a day, and forgetting to buy certain things from a grocery store on a regular basis.😞😂
I agree, when I'm in deep thought or talking to someone on my way to lectures at uni i always loose track of my environment and then suddenly realise Im walking the wrong way or Im in the completely wrong venue for the lecture, oh well
filthy casual Yeah, I relate to everything you said completely. And then after you finally reach your destination and sit through the entire lecture, you forget about your backpack...
Would you call it scatter brained? Maybe I have better control over it. I do relate a little to what you say. But I know where all my stuff is. And don't tend loss anything. But say this morning I was so engrossed in a discussion that was simulating to me prior to tea break at work. When I sat down with everyone I forgot to eat, or couldn't be bother as I was still really mulling over something's from the earlier conversation. And joining into the talk at the table.The part I might call scatter brain is that I have some many references of past experience flying around my head that relate to the topic at hand I have to pause now and the to sift thru them to find the authentic one, or the one that feels right.
I have a habit of talking way too much but never feeling like what I want to say is coming out right and being understood, which I think is why I talk too much? Like I’m always /trying/ to explain it but I can’t figure out how so I just keep trying lol rip
agh same!!! it's so much easier to write it down beforehand. i end up saying something and then having to backtrack because i think people might disagree with what i think
i'm so happy that i'm not the only one who's like this. i'm reading and watching things about INFP and there are so many people who are like me omg i'm gonna cry sorry
"Having a hard time expressing himself verbally" God I burst out laughing at this point. I'm simultaneously very verbose and yet I have a hard time explaining myself. It's like there's this level of feeling that exists beyond words and I have these nonconceptual feelings or ideas that move too quickly for me to express unless I can somehow engage my Ne (like I'm doing right this second).
@@H3llfir333 exactly, and construct, using the most accurate and authentic words to convey our message. Though at times I can express myself verbally quite well, if my passion is fired up and going, I throw fear out the window, as I know passion and intensity will get my message across the line loud and clear. Or if I'll totally comfortable with where I am and who I'm with. I just need those slight pauses to collect and focus on another thought. To help emphasis my point. And then again public speaking is a no go zone, we don't work well together (bestman at a wedding). Actually just being a groomsmen at the alter I need 6 shots before I step up there. Put me up singing in front of my band, no problem. Joking with the crowd all good. Explain that one someone.
I totally understand. I just had a presentation representing a company today in class (I am infp-ti grip and studying business major). I was so nervous I couldn't eat food until around 6pm because I knew it might get worse plus with AC on full blast, I was shaking so much. I was sort of angry at myself. I was talking to myself "It's just a presentation. The most important thing is to make my points get across and introducing the ideas. Even if some details are left out the most important are the main points. It's the written deliverable that is important." I practiced so many hours beforehand and had run through at least 3 times with my team. After the presentation, I was glad it was okay since I was prepared but during the presentation I froze at one detail I forgot. I felt my brain kinda went blank and just shut down on me. I was struggling to remember but felt I will hold the presentation up so I just jumped to the next point. It was the data/information analysis that are difficult for me to remember but if it was just casual conversation with my friend I tend to speak really fast and all the info just flow out smoothly.. It was just not being able to communicate efficiently (in chronological orderly manner) and exactly to what I was thinking makes me frustrated as hell. Even in writing sometimes I have to look up for words on dictionary to describe whatever the heck I want to say. Out of all work I have done though I just hate presentation the most.
Spot on!!! I've gotten into the habit now of asking people "does that make sense?" or "you know what I mean?" because I find that I often don't make sense when I'm speaking... it's like I can't access the right information to answer a question/reply or something. I never feel satisfied with the way I've described something. Like I never feel like I REALLY got the meaning/message across to someone. That's solidified when I see the confusion in their eyes... :P
ikr i felt i was watching an interview of me and when the text popped up i was like damn thats exactly me thanks for helping me peiece that together lol
My brain: * in british accent * so you see the wings structure of any bird is so unique yet similar in the way it comes in contact with the air in order to fly. Just amazing. Me speaking: well you know I think... Ugh.. Birds.. The way they can fly... Its like Wow... You know? 😑
Wow. You're definitely not alone. Update: As an INFP we need a really safe space to create and express our ideas where mostly it's usually free from others' judgements, where we can exercise our creative freedom (freedom to create), where these expressions of our ideas can be immortalized (think song writing/book writing/poetry/design/movie/video/art performance/comedy/humanitarian work/human development coaching/counseling/etc). Our Extroverted Intuition/Ne (exploration of ideas and experiences) cognitive is our path to self-development and growth. Make sure you work your way down starting from Fi (feeling based personal core values) to -> Ne (exploration of ideas and experiences). And only then, as we grow older (30-40 upwards) our Si and -> Te will eventually sort themselves through the healthy process of starting to operate from your core values and inner guide, Fi. Accessing our Fi in a healthy way is where our "state of flow" comes from. Just be ready to ask others' for help, especially from the people we can trust dearly, to help with our weaker cognitive functions (Si/Te) on day to day basis. Ask them and you'll receive. Lastly, try practicing/developing and also have a mindful experience our Shadow Function (5th/6th/7th/8th Function), which are Fe/Ni/Se/Ti. Try finding a trusted mentor that you're truly comfortable learning with to develop these (when finding a mentor, think of that mentor/tutor/school teacher/friends/family members of yours back in the days who you will always remember forever because they have given you a safe space to learn, endless uplifting encouragement, and also had devoted their time to give you their endless support to grow your true potential at the time). Just go one by one step by step at any given times, it will truly unlock some hidden potentials inside yourself that you never knew existed all these times. I hope that you will see this comment, my dear fellow INFPs. (INFP)
INTPs have that problem too. Ti-Si and Fi-Si can easily get wrapped up in their own thoughts, Fi naturally more inclined to emotions and values and Ti more to how systems/the world works
When he lit up when interviewer showed interest in his lyrics, felt so relatable, it's same for me when I do my art, as an INFP I can say it always very interesting to hear what others think about your work both positive and negative :)
"as cheesy as it sounds" whenever we let out our Fi, we need to give someone something to tone it down, otherwise it feels like it won't be accepted. Also the broad statements like "life has got complications" sometimes confuses people, but I swear I'm not trying to be cryptic, it's just broad statements work for us, but some people need us to break it down more for them to understand.
infp life: always having scattered thoughts on how to get to the point inner voice that constantly reminds us to shut up and stop talking always end up not sharing much as we want to gets excited when someone understands our ways of talking and gives their ideas/inputs on a conversation laughs awkwardly a lot always fumbles with words and ideals
I accept all people of all types as they are; complicated and deeply flawed. I'm an INFJ and as silly as it is, it used to bother me when my type was put up on such a high pedestal. We're described as being these all-seeing, all-knowing intellectual sages. Indigo children with psychic powers who will lead humanity in the right direction, etc., etc., all that nonsense. Knowing all my flaws and that I don't come even close to fitting that description, I thought there was something wrong with me. Whenever I told people interested in MBTI that I'm INFJ, they'd get super excited like, "Ooh! It's like I'm meeting a unicorn!" Then I'd say, "Don't get excited, Honey. I'm not that special, I'm just your average, everyday shlub." Now I realize how ridiculous all of that was. Everyone has their good and bad qualities; some having to do with their MBTI, some with their mental health and some with their own individual experiences. I might be whiny, lazy and I REALLY need to work on my emotional resilience, but I am creative as hell, I think outside the box and I can't even count how many times people have said to me, "Wow, you're right. I've never thought of it like that before!" I know this is all common knowledge. It's nothing new and eye-opening so I'm sorry if I come off as pretentious and condescending. I'm also a great procrastinator, especially when I try to do any kind of creative writing. Creative ideas come to my mind so naturally, but trying to get them through my hands and onto paper or the computer screen feels like an intense workout.
@@Hayley495 I'm an INFP and I love INFJs, not because they're supposed to be rare, but because in my interactions with them, they have a beautiful mind, it might not be visible to the world so much, but whenever I've had engaging conversations with INFJs, I could see and feel their internal world, and it was amazing. You don't come off as pretentious at all. You're worrying too much about coming off as superior. You're just fine. Procrastination is different for us a bit, I guess, in the sense mine, and probably my type's is because we don't want to share our thoughts and feelings with the world, while you seem to be fine with sharing, but couldn't bother about picking up the tools needed for it. But still, I can relate to INFJs so much, it's amazing. You're amazing, and not because you're rare, but because you've got an amazing mind. *Sorry went too ranty, I don't know when to stop once I've started. **even the apology was long. Sorry. ***okay bye
Thank you so much. ♥ I've definitely come a long way in terms of accepting myself. I'm glad that we have a place in the world. NFJ are my favorite types - I'm in love with Extroverted Feeling and the warmth that you provide. I see the why behind the what and I'm very capable of mirroring people I'm around. The NFJ warmth gives me hope and Introverted Intuition can see me in a way that few others rarely even look. Thank you for being you. We often feel we're too emotional or too expressive or too aloof for the world. When I was reading this I was cringing at the scattered mind analysis because that's so true and I'm so constantly self-conscious of it. But the NFJ in my life love me for who I am, and that means more than I can put into words.
I think that playing this video and the Al Pacino one would be a clear demonstration about the differences between the types (INFP Vs INFJ) 1) Chris Martin doesn't mind sharing his varied ideas and ambitions with the interviewer. Al Pacino seemed to evade questions revolving around that. (Ne Vs Ni) 2) Al Pacino quite readily spoke about how lonely he was as a child and how depressed he was. An INFP would be a lot more reserved about mentioning that because it's so embarrassing and personal. (Fe Vs Fi) 3) Al Pacino's speech seemed to have a consistent tone throughout, which was interjected with random moments of smiling at the interviewer to create rapport. Chris Martin's speech was similar (calm, soothing, etc) but he had random moments of becoming very animated, especially when the interviewer mentioned his experiences briefly, giving Chris the green light to ask him questions, to satiate his curiosity (Ni Fe/ Fi Ne- also the J Vs P difference) 4) Al Pacino was able to express his insights (Ni) quite succinctly and directly (Fe). Chris could have arrived at the exact same insights, but he would have had to verbalise those thoughts, explore a bunch of other ideas and essentially find his way to that point externally (Ne) so that he can explain it clearly and directly (Te). (This wouldn't be the case if it was something Chris had thought of before). 3) Chris seemed to be more conscious of whether his scattered speech would be understood and he seemed to be hurrying himself to get to the point. (Te). 4) Al Pacino was a lot more conscious about making sure that his Ni- Ti honesty sounded socially appropriate and humble at all times. (Fe) 5) Chris is clearly very eager to learn more about the inner workings of people's minds and he is very curious (Ne) but he holds back from asking thise questions because he doesn't want to overstep someone's Fi boundaries- so he becomes noticeably excited when someone's willing to share things with him. 5) Al Pacino wouldn't have too much of a problem second guessing the appropriateness of a question (more conscious awareness of Fe) and wouldn't hesitate to ask someone such questions directly- he wouldn't need to wait for someone to drop hints about what they like to talk about (my own guess) 6) Chris could have gone through emotionally taxing experiences and we would not know (Fi). Al Pacino was sad, lonely and depressed and we did get to know (Fe). 7) Chris has a whole host of ideas and insights and we did get to know (Ne). Al Pacino would have had a lot of insights and ideas and we would not know (Ni). 8) Chris contradicts and interrupts himself many times, as he's speaking, even when he has a clear idea in mind (Ne- Introverted judgement to extroverted perception). Al Pacino has a hard time drawing out his thoughts from the wells of his mind- he needs to find what he's trying to say, but once he does, he says it clearly and doesn't contradict himself (Introverted perception, extroverted judgement). On the other hand, Chris knows what he wants to say quite clearly, but as he's speaking he finds a way to contradict himself or come up with exceptions. Ne is the function that entertains parallelisms, paradoxes and exceptions to the rule. 9) Both parties demonstrate humility, soft spoken-ness,concern for the true nature of humanity and the shared human experience. Now, an INFP or an INFJ could, quite easily, do what the other does, but this is more of an illustration of their natural tendencies. :)
As an infp, I can really connect to this video. I can really agree on the fact that I have a hard time connecting two things/ideas in my mind. I feel the need to find a solution cause I feel very humiliated whenever I speak in public.
so difficult, to make people understand what is going on inside you. I often give up before even trying, unless the person is genuinly interested ! Sometimes I talk about my experiences without even realizing what it means for myself, until I get a fitting response from someone else. "Oh, so that what I felt was because of that and it was not just a thought Inside my head"
Talking, as an INFP, is like your mind creates a paiting of such beauty, it would melt even the hardest and coldest of hearts, yet as soon as you paint it, it just ends up looking like a 3 year old drew it
Just so you all know. ( I'm an INFP) when he looks at the sky pretending to think , it's not that he is thinking , he is only analyzing if what he is about to say would sound valid or not. And most of the time the analysis fails cuz we INFPs tend to think that we are taking somone else's time , so we just say whatever without giving it much of thought ,it's not really a useful thing , but we just do it as INFPs
"What needed fixing?" I knew immediately that he would pause, take a moment, and give a vague answer - no way he was going to pour out his feelings for this guy lol.
I think people who confuse infj and infp will really see the difference with your videos. One thing i noticed is how different the eyes organise themselves while they talk. Infj's have this intense static stare while they talk and then look back at the interviewer whereas the infp is looking all over the place as if sussing out with Ne what they want to say. The other thing i noticed in the infj interview is that a few times he said "What do you think?" Or asked the interviewer questions (Fe) whereas the infp got excited at a new perspective with someone else's opinion of their work (Ne). Not that I'm a pro but that's my 2 cents.
As an INFP I static stare not directly at the person when I've really locked into something on the topic of discussion and I'm really searching hard to see it that feels correct to me. When my eyes are darting around, I'm reading what's going on around a little, but I'm more so searching all the ideas and past experience that are flying around in my head. But I may have to try and take more notice.
INFJs have a much more intimidating or strong presence than INFP. For sure. Every INFJ I’ve met. I’m an INFP. Even if INFP dares to be bold, INFJ reeks of quiet strength even when they struggle or feel weak. (:
I sometimes stare directly at people's eyes, sometimes everywhere, mainly cos while it may seem like I am looking outside I am actually seeing the inside of my head and attempting to 'collect' my thoughts and also cos I tend to have a million different thoughts at once. I would suddenly think of something and then link that to something completely different and so on and so forth. Also, sometimes I see in pictures, other times we may interrupt suddenly cos of an eureka moment flashed by and we didn't want to forget. Also, yes, we get excited when our views are challenged with a new perspective. It's like reading a book with gazillion different plot twists and endings but same characters. I swear the inside of my head is crazy.
This resembles one of my friends to an uncanny extent. All about the looks to the behavior, only the voice is a little different and he laughs a lot more. Though through him I got to see a quite mature infp playing out his inferior functions. We were in the band playing a revue for our highshcool. He, who was the leader of the band, had been quite whimsical for the whole year. But a week before the premiere, it was like he snapped into a different mindset. Started to make sure we arrived on time, took control of rehearsals, went out to buy equipment several times and discussed profusely with the leaders of the other parts of the revue to get more than just the band in order, god knows we needed it. All this without ever losing his charm or empathy. It was like he tapped into his Te in a controlled manner, as if he was flexing his well concealed organisational muscles. He somehow was the best of both worlds, and who'd expect that out of an infp? It's also worth mentioning that when he first learned of MBTI, he rejected the system all together, stating that people are too unique to ever be put within the confines of a label haha.
It's true though! Definition restricts the possibility of change. We can attempt to categorize ourselves but the more we try to do that the more u'll realize it's nearly impossible cos the same thing experienced by 3 people can produce such different results! We are all similarly different.
Erick Henderson lol I’ll bet! I see myself a lot in Kurt Cobain... the way he looks around and talks with his hands, and ends everything he says with “you know” or “yeah”. Before I even knew I was an INFP I was always a hardcore fan of Kurt and his music. And now, knowing that he’s ALSO an INFP explains so much. Makes me understand myself more while studying other INFP people/celebs. It’s great :)
WOW he is such a SWEETIE omg, INFP's are like the juice concentrate of ENFP, the richness of their Fi dominance with a more subtle and deliberate use of Ne + Si without the ENFP's Bulldozer-like Te is so cute i love my INFPotatoes so much
Everyone saying " As a infp" and no one is saying "OMG it's Chris Martin". No words can describe how this video was exciting for me, as a infp who adores Coldplay lmao
It feels like the world is out to get us and we want to give up. Yet we still deeply search for the beauty in it the best we can. Imagery encompasses our heads, and romance.. oh romance is important but very challenging to attain. We have these stories in our heads waiting to come true, but we feel like time is running out. Age becomes our enemy. We want to break out. We seek answers. We need inspiration. We just want to reach what we always dreamed of, yet our internal selves keep distracting and distracting till our energy runs out.
What is accurate in the realm of the subjective (i.e. psychology/cognitive theory etc)? All I can say is that I agree with the commentary and for me, that is "accurate" enough :) Possibly even more special from an ENFJ with inferior Ti :) - ENTJ
I couldn't stop smiling throughout the whole video cuz it was like watching myself and i can relate to almost everything. And thanks cuz this videos are really helpful.
Is it just me, or are INxP types, dispute usually being socially introverted, are usually incredibly talkative? Like, I'm an INFP myself, and whenever I get approached, I gradually become more animated, often in a very offbeat way.
This is absolutely how I talk and form my thoughts! This is incredible!! Like, that’s it!! That’s my scattered brain trying to jumble together the feelings I have and beat them into something that sounds like a sentence! The pauses, the stutters, the stopping and starting because you aren’t sure how exactly you want to say it-that’s all me! Wow! That’s awesome!
wow i am enfp but i relate to this soo much (also loveee chris martin) !! 1:32 - 2:01 made me genuinely smile bright. "If you design a song, it's never as great as a song that just arrives". That is literally how i feel about everything
Great video! As an INFP artist, I really related to this. And I LOVE Coldplay and Chris Martin. I am actually working on a video about him being an INFP!
Im not even reading the text but the way he describes how ideas come to him resonates with me so much. When good idea comes it just comes on it's own and then I just get lost in that idea, take a walk outside or pasing around and just think about that idea usualy untill I start to go off track and go way too crazy and too cleachay with the briliant idea that I have.
Me once a month: maybe I’m not an INFP... then I come to TH-cam and it’s thrown in my face 😂 wearing a huge “INFP” sign on my forehead. (Edit: as i was writing this I started to doubt again 😅 I’ll never be sure).
Maybe cos INFPs hate defining things cos we believe there are so many possible different perspective to things. A question triggers a million other questions and thoughts and we are probably our biggest critic hahaha
When my mother kicked out of the house on my 18th birthday and I ended up living in a motel for a while. A store owner suggested I listen to a CD for a no reason. It was X/Y. I loved that album so fn much. I cry sometimes just thinking about it.
I love this interview clip. Listen to any interview with Robert Smith from The Cure. His answers and process of thinking is almost identical to this. One of my favourite INFP role models in the world too.
I'm an INFP 4w5 (some of my other "wings" are rather close to my 5 score though and I have extensive understanding of my brain)..though I am definitely a 4. I relate to this wholeheartedly, obnoxiously. It's hard to actually break it down because it's almost "cringe" worthy. When I write, it comes from my "soul" otherwise I won't do it. I can write about anything, but I'll only ever write whenever something/someone/event has such a hold over to me that I have to write a song to immortalize the feeling, though if the song is for a person - I will give the song to them and never actually "read" it myself, so once that person is gone..that song is gone with them, unless they kept it themselves. I say that but I've only actually given a song to a particular person once as it's a deeply personal thing to share and it makes me incredibly vulnerable -- though -- without _them_ I'd of never actually written the song as their existence was the inspiration for the song. I've been on the computer my entire life (while being big into sports/outdoors) but also programming/scripting and world development (mapping) which world creation for me (my favorite form of art) - adding all the characters and the quests to the world is quite like writing a song, you're bringing something in existence with your own personality and your ability to compliment the world with further pieces of your imagination and having someone "play" it and enjoy it is one of the most addicting, amazing feelings I've ever had. It's really strange being an "INFP" male in 2022. The internet is bigger than ever, but we're more "alone" than ever. Authenticity has been shaved away for waterfalling facades, reality TV shows have replaced reality - and people base their lives off of shows scripted heavier than a WWE match. Fun Fact: I remember this entire family of Pentecostals believed "wrestling WWE" was actually real, unscripted - and me being a 7-8 year old had to explain to the father that this isn't real was insane to me, he attempted to belittle and humiliate me. He never apologized. Also as roughly the same age at the state fair, a preacher asked us as we walked by if we believed in "christ" when I was with my grandmother and I answered "I'm not sure." and apparently found out from that day on I was absolutely hellbound as he was unable to make me conform to this ideal/belief. I learned young that people will nearly always attempt to alter your beliefs to match theirs - If you don't believe how they do, it's "unacceptable" and I believe as an INFP we're one of the few with the natural resistance to stay authentic in a forever growing virtual cesspool of inauthentic, misinformed, misinformation and any attempts to speak up are drowned out by 100's of "sheep" spamming until you're drowned out by their overpowering sound. Jokes on them though, as I'd be an amazing cult leader. (Friends would approve this). I might get to that point. >;)
Okay, i guess now i can differentiate INFPs(hi everyone) and INFJs(it's me): 1. INFPs biggest issue is forming a concrete thoughts, while INFJs biggest issue is focusing on daily basis details. 2.INFPs talk in very "cut-like" way and use authentic and unique self-crafted words, INFJs talk in loose way and use metaphors. 3. INFPs talk about PAST events or experiences to win an argument, while INFJs talk about imaginitive FUTURE consequences to win an argument. 4. INFPs prefer music that focuses on authenticity, beauty and past feelings/nostalgia, INFJs prefer music that focuses on bright images, beauty and future dream-like stories. 5. INFPs do not have struggle with their identity but have struggle with fitting in, INFJs have struggle with their identity but fit in easily and feel empty in crowd. 6. INFPs know who THEY are, but do not know WHAT THEY WANT, INFJs know WHAT THEY WANT, but do not know who THEY are. 7. INFPs react to traumatic event by feeling depressed(people do not accept them) and keep to hold on, INFJs react to traumatic event by feeling melancholic(not accepting people) and overanalize everything. 8. INFPs end up being hurt romantically because want to know why they try A LOT and people DO NOT want them, INFJs end up being hurt romantically because want to know why they DO NOT LIKE ANYONE and DO NOT SEE MEANING. Hope it helps guys))) your lovely INFJ
1. I have trouble forming concrete thoughts. I'm absolutely terrible at imporvisation for something like a school presentation, 30 seconds in I malfunction without a script. So I write the script and memorize it. If I miss a line, my whole memory of it can stop, same for playing music on the piano(tertiary si and absolutely aweful ni )-->also corollary to 6. I don't know what I want(probably the bad ni) but I always think about how I feel and what kind of person I might be(fi) 2. I can't talk for the life of me so it may seem "cut like" as I think about how to talk. 3.Talking about my past experiences is my go to conversation starter with someone who I like(tertiary si) 4. My favorite style of music is japanese pop music and they are all about nostalgia(tertiary si preference) 5. Yea, I can't make friends easily or be in a big social circle 7. Yes I lost some friends because I was depressed of a "trauma" I had from a failed relationship 8. Yes when I am in love with someone, I try a hell a lot to get them to like me more. I presented birthday, christmas, valentines day, thanksgiving presents and even some days that weren't holidays. And when they don't reciprocate or something happens, I get so confused. Thanks to you, I'm sure I'm an infp now.
I have deeply connected to Coldplay for over a decade. I really get their lyrics. Now I better understand why. Just learned a few months back that I am an INFP. When I saw that Chris is, I wasn’t even surprised!
"Having a hard time trying to express his thougts verbally" Me. Literally me every single day of my life. I have no idea why I can write my feelings, thoughts and opinions completely fine, but once I have to verbally explain them to someone my brain just turns off and it ends up sounding like giberish.
Hey Sara, I love your videos. Great work! I recently saw some clips of Aurora (the singer) interviewing and I was taken aback by her similarities to Chris Martin. I've been a fan of Coldplay for over 17 years and watching her was like rediscovering Chris Martin's persona all those years ago. This particular interview - if I'm not mistaken - is from around 2005, which would explain why this triggered a burst of nostalgia. [INFJ/4w5]
I’ve read things that say INFP’s have an easy time communicating their ideas but INFJ’s struggle that’s why I thought I was INFJ. Not anymore. I totally relate to how he perks up and needs “help” expressing himself.
Allll this time i felt like a stranger i can't talk with others i struggle and then find myself easy to make a whole conversation in my head . Seeing those infp videos made me less uncomfortable about myself . I feel so satisfied like i always want someone to understand me 😭❤
Damn this reflects me as a musician, I was typed ENTP, but I am not sure. I've learnt to play guitar by myself, mostly concluding the relations between notes and choreds by ear, and the patterns that certain scales have on the fretboard of the guitar. Patterns are everywhere in music.
I have to say, one of the things I am most proud of is my ability to articulate myself when I talk. I get so many compliment on how well spoken I am. HOWEVER when you ask me to express my FEELINGS, I suddenly cannot speak and I stutter. It's a weird feeling. INFPS deep thinkers and feelers - however unable to express and verbalise said feelings.
Thanks for this video, really appreciate it. If it's not too much to ask, I would love if you do another video someday with another male INFP male. Or female if feel inclined. Being male I would prefer male. Just curious to see the tells of other INFP'S that may have different weaknesses and strengths in their functions. Thanks again.
i love my infp's! my partner and best friend are both infp t and infp a types. I am so fortunate that they both can understand me at the deepest of levels and also have the greatest levels of trust. you guys are the best! :) - from an enfp a type
Ok, so my best friend's boyfriend is EXACTLY Chris Martin. He even looks like him! He speaks like him, he has the same body language, no matter how much I told you they're similar you won't believe me. But he tested as an ENFP and I can't believe for a second that he is. My best friend actually IS an ENFP and I KNOW what ENFPs are like. He's definitely WAAYY more introverted. And yes I know ENFPs are the most introverted of the extroverts but that's not it. Do you think his test results were wrong? Also, I'm SO confused by INFPs because they're so drastically different from one another it's incredibly confusing. They're making me almost not trust the mbti at all 😂😂. Also, your videos and analysis are literal art. I felt overwhelmed when I watched Al Paccino's INFJ video. It's beautiful. Thank you soo much ❤
Classified LMAO no he can't, I don't think 😂😂 he's also not a blond with blue eyes and pale skin, he has black hair and brown eyes and tanned skin 😂 but in all other ways he looks like Chris a lot. The body language really just further emphasises that 😁.
As an INFP myself, I feel like this is a very accurate analysis and I have to say that I love it! It really is difficult to verbalize our internal thoughts sometimes and that "all over the place" stare is SO me! 😂 Sometimes I do it subconsciously and I have to catch myself. Add in being a double Pisces with a Gemini Asc. and it's just like 😲 But this Makes me imagine what Chris would think seeing someone analyze him like that lmao! Thanks for the vid Sara :) appreciate it~♪ definitely Subbing!
This is the first person I've yet seen with the label of infp in a video that I was able to not only see as such but relate to- I have no idea who this men is but I really really like him. I hope he's very well if he's still alive.
Hi Sara, I'm really enjoying the new series and I have a suggestion for a video you could use to analyze an ISFP, Lady Gaga. In it, she describes how writing songs is a huge part of who she is and how she longs for depth and honesty (Fi). She also talks about how she doesn't like to think about fixing any of her songs because that's what she wanted to say "in that moment" and if she wasn't famous, she'd still be "banging on a piano" in downtown Manhattan. While saying this she hyperventilates, showing body language (Se). The section starts at 7:32 and goes to 10:24. Sorry to throw all this out there at once, I saw this on Facebook and instantly thought of your channel. th-cam.com/video/Y7_hwQF8GEM/w-d-xo.html
My communication skills are so much better through texting. I sounds like a flippin genius when i can put my thoughts into words. Thats why I love writing letters and despise phone calls

"Not giving himself enough credit." INFP's are the greatest self deprecators ever. lol Even our humor is like that.
Well why would t we? Our answers come pretty quickly
Half of me and my friends jokes r about my dead dad and my stupidity
Uss brother uss
INFP values authenticity, he thinks to give most value to others is by giving his most prescious gift which is AUTHENTICITY !
As an infp I can talk to myself so well. And maybe that’s because I know I’ll understand myself. But as soon as it’s the time to express my ideas/feelings with other people in a non creative way I lose all my communication skills and end up not really saying anything of substance because you dont really have the time to think deeply about things when you’re in a conversation.
This is me I do this and i’m also a hybrid xNFP
I would have never thought that I would find anyone who has exact same thoughts. The more I look into INFP videos and comments the less I feel like I'm some sort of a freak who nobody understands how I think or feel.
THIS.
This is exactly what I do too! And then long after the conversation is over, it still wraps around and around in my head till I have every side and view on the topic. But of course by this point the topic never comes up again. I always feel overwhelmed by words in a active conversation, like no matter what I say it wont be what I mean.
Same, I literally talk like this guy, when it comes to talking about things that I truly resonate with, the art that I create. When he was asked so how did it came to you these lyrics, I really felt that struggle through the screen when he tried to put his feelings into words.
I feel that us INFPs are sims who are childlike which have maxed out in philosophy skill but are very low in speech skill.
Yes
This comment made me scream 😂
On point!!!!!!
WOW I FEEL SO ATTACKED AND LOVINGLY SEEN AT THE SAME TIME 😂
How the hell were you so on point?!
Being scatterbrained is one of the worst parts about being an Infp. It’s a curse. I hate having to search for my keys and wallet 6 times a day, and forgetting to buy certain things from a grocery store on a regular basis.😞😂
I agree, when I'm in deep thought or talking to someone on my way to lectures at uni i always loose track of my environment and then suddenly realise Im walking the wrong way or Im in the completely wrong venue for the lecture, oh well
filthy casual Yeah, I relate to everything you said completely. And then after you finally reach your destination and sit through the entire lecture, you forget about your backpack...
Use your Si, put the objects always on the same
Place! :-)
Think about what you need to
Buy, before you leave for the store!
Would you call it scatter brained? Maybe I have better control over it. I do relate a little to what you say. But I know where all my stuff is. And don't tend loss anything. But say this morning I was so engrossed in a discussion that was simulating to me prior to tea break at work. When I sat down with everyone I forgot to eat, or couldn't be bother as I was still really mulling over something's from the earlier conversation. And joining into the talk at the table.The part I might call scatter brain is that I have some many references of past experience flying around my head that relate to the topic at hand I have to pause now and the to sift thru them to find the authentic one, or the one that feels right.
Recep Thanks for the advice. 🙂
I have a habit of talking way too much but never feeling like what I want to say is coming out right and being understood, which I think is why I talk too much? Like I’m always /trying/ to explain it but I can’t figure out how so I just keep trying lol rip
Butter Scotchnut me!!!
agh same!!! it's so much easier to write it down beforehand. i end up saying something and then having to backtrack because i think people might disagree with what i think
i'm so happy that i'm not the only one who's like this. i'm reading and watching things about INFP and there are so many people who are like me omg i'm gonna cry sorry
I'm like "stop talking! You're not making it clear, it's freaking worse, Me!"
Me too.
"Having a hard time expressing himself verbally" God I burst out laughing at this point. I'm simultaneously very verbose and yet I have a hard time explaining myself. It's like there's this level of feeling that exists beyond words and I have these nonconceptual feelings or ideas that move too quickly for me to express unless I can somehow engage my Ne (like I'm doing right this second).
But you guys can express yourself so well when you write :)
bc we have more time to think about and organize our thoughts
@@H3llfir333 exactly, and construct, using the most accurate and authentic words to convey our message. Though at times I can express myself verbally quite well, if my passion is fired up and going, I throw fear out the window, as I know passion and intensity will get my message across the line loud and clear. Or if I'll totally comfortable with where I am and who I'm with. I just need those slight pauses to collect and focus on another thought. To help emphasis my point.
And then again public speaking is a no go zone, we don't work well together (bestman at a wedding). Actually just being a groomsmen at the alter I need 6 shots before I step up there. Put me up singing in front of my band, no problem. Joking with the crowd all good. Explain that one someone.
I totally understand. I just had a presentation representing a company today in class (I am infp-ti grip and studying business major). I was so nervous I couldn't eat food until around 6pm because I knew it might get worse plus with AC on full blast, I was shaking so much. I was sort of angry at myself. I was talking to myself "It's just a presentation. The most important thing is to make my points get across and introducing the ideas. Even if some details are left out the most important are the main points. It's the written deliverable that is important." I practiced so many hours beforehand and had run through at least 3 times with my team. After the presentation, I was glad it was okay since I was prepared but during the presentation I froze at one detail I forgot. I felt my brain kinda went blank and just shut down on me. I was struggling to remember but felt I will hold the presentation up so I just jumped to the next point. It was the data/information analysis that are difficult for me to remember but if it was just casual conversation with my friend I tend to speak really fast and all the info just flow out smoothly.. It was just not being able to communicate efficiently (in chronological orderly manner) and exactly to what I was thinking makes me frustrated as hell. Even in writing sometimes I have to look up for words on dictionary to describe whatever the heck I want to say. Out of all work I have done though I just hate presentation the most.
Spot on!!! I've gotten into the habit now of asking people "does that make sense?" or "you know what I mean?"
because I find that I often don't make sense when I'm speaking... it's like I can't access the right information to answer a question/reply or something. I never feel satisfied with the way I've described something. Like I never feel like I REALLY got the meaning/message across to someone. That's solidified when I see the confusion in their eyes... :P
Seeing someone speak almost exactly like me, and then seeing the explanatory text ALSO be exactly how I think, is honestly almost scary.
Hahah :) thank you for this comment
ikr i felt i was watching an interview of me and when the text popped up i was like damn thats exactly me thanks for helping me peiece that together lol
We INFPs are so FiNe by ourselves😂
No we're not
Gabriel Bennett ‘‘twas a joke
LOOOL 😂
@@GQFJB I was referring to the cognitive functions of Fi and Ne that INFPs have as a pun to say we are FiNe by ourselves
Karthik Ram don’t you know that an INFP can’t internalize a joke that way! Shame shame. I’m only kidding haha
When he went, "Uh. Well y'know, uh. L-Uh, y'know." I felt that
My brain: * in british accent * so you see the wings structure of any bird is so unique yet similar in the way it comes in contact with the air in order to fly. Just amazing.
Me speaking: well you know I think... Ugh.. Birds.. The way they can fly... Its like Wow... You know?
😑
I feel you
Lmfao😂
You’re not alone. This comment section can be our support group. Haha 😞
Wow. You're definitely not alone.
Update:
As an INFP we need a really safe space to create and express our ideas where mostly it's usually free from others' judgements, where we can exercise our creative freedom (freedom to create), where these expressions of our ideas can be immortalized (think song writing/book writing/poetry/design/movie/video/art performance/comedy/humanitarian work/human development coaching/counseling/etc).
Our Extroverted Intuition/Ne (exploration of ideas and experiences) cognitive is our path to self-development and growth.
Make sure you work your way down starting from Fi (feeling based personal core values) to -> Ne (exploration of ideas and experiences). And only then, as we grow older (30-40 upwards) our Si and -> Te will eventually sort themselves through the healthy process of starting to operate from your core values and inner guide, Fi. Accessing our Fi in a healthy way is where our "state of flow" comes from.
Just be ready to ask others' for help, especially from the people we can trust dearly, to help with our weaker cognitive functions (Si/Te) on day to day basis. Ask them and you'll receive.
Lastly, try practicing/developing and also have a mindful experience our Shadow Function (5th/6th/7th/8th Function), which are Fe/Ni/Se/Ti. Try finding a trusted mentor that you're truly comfortable learning with to develop these (when finding a mentor, think of that mentor/tutor/school teacher/friends/family members of yours back in the days who you will always remember forever because they have given you a safe space to learn, endless uplifting encouragement, and also had devoted their time to give you their endless support to grow your true potential at the time). Just go one by one step by step at any given times, it will truly unlock some hidden potentials inside yourself that you never knew existed all these times.
I hope that you will see this comment, my dear fellow INFPs.
(INFP)
This is me 24/7
This makes me feel validated.
Girrrrl!!!
You re beautiful ! Realize how beautiful you are. We INFPs have so much to give!
We're so self-involved.
INTPs have that problem too. Ti-Si and Fi-Si can easily get wrapped up in their own thoughts, Fi naturally more inclined to emotions and values and Ti more to how systems/the world works
When he lit up when interviewer showed interest in his lyrics, felt so relatable, it's same for me when I do my art, as an INFP I can say it always very interesting to hear what others think about your work both positive and negative :)
Would you like to be the guest on my channel and talk about your art? :)
"as cheesy as it sounds" whenever we let out our Fi, we need to give someone something to tone it down, otherwise it feels like it won't be accepted. Also the broad statements like "life has got complications" sometimes confuses people, but I swear I'm not trying to be cryptic, it's just broad statements work for us, but some people need us to break it down more for them to understand.
ENFP here and I totally get you. Whenever I carry on about things find meaningful my INTJ friends look at me as if I’m talking in Teletubbie.
Totally relatable. INFP female here.. and literally was called cryptic the other day by my friend lol.
@@jenniferjaffa1127 talking in teletubbie 😂😂
TRUE
YESS!!!
I thought I need therapist. Apparently it's just me being INFP. Okay, I'm down for it 😂
My own my mom thought that too.
infp life:
always having scattered thoughts on how to get to the point
inner voice that constantly reminds us to shut up and stop talking
always end up not sharing much as we want to
gets excited when someone understands our ways of talking and gives their ideas/inputs on a conversation
laughs awkwardly a lot
always fumbles with words and ideals
Uss brother uss
I find INFP men so adorable. All of you out there, please never change ❤️
Hey Lee Are you sure about that?We do have our bad side too..we are a complicated type and also a great procrastinator, at least 😓
I accept all people of all types as they are; complicated and deeply flawed. I'm an INFJ and as silly as it is, it used to bother me when my type was put up on such a high pedestal. We're described as being these all-seeing, all-knowing intellectual sages. Indigo children with psychic powers who will lead humanity in the right direction, etc., etc., all that nonsense. Knowing all my flaws and that I don't come even close to fitting that description, I thought there was something wrong with me. Whenever I told people interested in MBTI that I'm INFJ, they'd get super excited like, "Ooh! It's like I'm meeting a unicorn!" Then I'd say, "Don't get excited, Honey. I'm not that special, I'm just your average, everyday shlub." Now I realize how ridiculous all of that was. Everyone has their good and bad qualities; some having to do with their MBTI, some with their mental health and some with their own individual experiences. I might be whiny, lazy and I REALLY need to work on my emotional resilience, but I am creative as hell, I think outside the box and I can't even count how many times people have said to me, "Wow, you're right. I've never thought of it like that before!"
I know this is all common knowledge. It's nothing new and eye-opening so I'm sorry if I come off as pretentious and condescending.
I'm also a great procrastinator, especially when I try to do any kind of creative writing. Creative ideas come to my mind so naturally, but trying to get them through my hands and onto paper or the computer screen feels like an intense workout.
@@Hayley495 I'm an INFP and I love INFJs, not because they're supposed to be rare, but because in my interactions with them, they have a beautiful mind, it might not be visible to the world so much, but whenever I've had engaging conversations with INFJs, I could see and feel their internal world, and it was amazing.
You don't come off as pretentious at all. You're worrying too much about coming off as superior. You're just fine. Procrastination is different for us a bit, I guess, in the sense mine, and probably my type's is because we don't want to share our thoughts and feelings with the world, while you seem to be fine with sharing, but couldn't bother about picking up the tools needed for it.
But still, I can relate to INFJs so much, it's amazing. You're amazing, and not because you're rare, but because you've got an amazing mind.
*Sorry went too ranty, I don't know when to stop once I've started.
**even the apology was long. Sorry.
***okay bye
Thank you so much. ♥ I've definitely come a long way in terms of accepting myself. I'm glad that we have a place in the world.
NFJ are my favorite types - I'm in love with Extroverted Feeling and the warmth that you provide. I see the why behind the what and I'm very capable of mirroring people I'm around. The NFJ warmth gives me hope and Introverted Intuition can see me in a way that few others rarely even look.
Thank you for being you. We often feel we're too emotional or too expressive or too aloof for the world. When I was reading this I was cringing at the scattered mind analysis because that's so true and I'm so constantly self-conscious of it. But the NFJ in my life love me for who I am, and that means more than I can put into words.
Absolutely! They are so sweet and precious!
I think that playing this video and the Al Pacino one would be a clear demonstration about the differences between the types (INFP Vs INFJ)
1) Chris Martin doesn't mind sharing his varied ideas and ambitions with the interviewer. Al Pacino seemed to evade questions revolving around that. (Ne Vs Ni)
2) Al Pacino quite readily spoke about how lonely he was as a child and how depressed he was. An INFP would be a lot more reserved about mentioning that because it's so embarrassing and personal. (Fe Vs Fi)
3) Al Pacino's speech seemed to have a consistent tone throughout, which was interjected with random moments of smiling at the interviewer to create rapport. Chris Martin's speech was similar (calm, soothing, etc) but he had random moments of becoming very animated, especially when the interviewer mentioned his experiences briefly, giving Chris the green light to ask him questions, to satiate his curiosity (Ni Fe/ Fi Ne- also the J Vs P difference)
4) Al Pacino was able to express his insights (Ni) quite succinctly and directly (Fe). Chris could have arrived at the exact same insights, but he would have had to verbalise those thoughts, explore a bunch of other ideas and essentially find his way to that point externally (Ne) so that he can explain it clearly and directly (Te). (This wouldn't be the case if it was something Chris had thought of before).
3) Chris seemed to be more conscious of whether his scattered speech would be understood and he seemed to be hurrying himself to get to the point. (Te).
4) Al Pacino was a lot more conscious about making sure that his Ni- Ti honesty sounded socially appropriate and humble at all times. (Fe)
5) Chris is clearly very eager to learn more about the inner workings of people's minds and he is very curious (Ne) but he holds back from asking thise questions because he doesn't want to overstep someone's Fi boundaries- so he becomes noticeably excited when someone's willing to share things with him.
5) Al Pacino wouldn't have too much of a problem second guessing the appropriateness of a question (more conscious awareness of Fe) and wouldn't hesitate to ask someone such questions directly- he wouldn't need to wait for someone to drop hints about what they like to talk about (my own guess)
6) Chris could have gone through emotionally taxing experiences and we would not know (Fi). Al Pacino was sad, lonely and depressed and we did get to know (Fe).
7) Chris has a whole host of ideas and insights and we did get to know (Ne). Al Pacino would have had a lot of insights and ideas and we would not know (Ni).
8) Chris contradicts and interrupts himself many times, as he's speaking, even when he has a clear idea in mind (Ne- Introverted judgement to extroverted perception). Al Pacino has a hard time drawing out his thoughts from the wells of his mind- he needs to find what he's trying to say, but once he does, he says it clearly and doesn't contradict himself (Introverted perception, extroverted judgement). On the other hand, Chris knows what he wants to say quite clearly, but as he's speaking he finds a way to contradict himself or come up with exceptions. Ne is the function that entertains parallelisms, paradoxes and exceptions to the rule.
9) Both parties demonstrate humility, soft spoken-ness,concern for the true nature of humanity and the shared human experience.
Now, an INFP or an INFJ could, quite easily, do what the other does, but this is more of an illustration of their natural tendencies. :)
🙂
Well read n said Sruthi 👍
Holy whak
Damn. what a paragraph.
wow.
As an infp, I can really connect to this video. I can really agree on the fact that I have a hard time connecting two things/ideas in my mind. I feel the need to find a solution cause I feel very humiliated whenever I speak in public.
You exactly fit the puzzle, I was trying to make sense of
INFPs have such beautiful sparkling eyes, there is so much going on inside, it's like a whole universe lives in their eyes
Omg he's so awkward, poor smol bean, I feel you 😭💕
He’s awkward?
I kinda found myself intrigued by him
I don't think he's that awkward actually just incredibly soft spoken
0:06 the face I always make during an interview
Me too, and an INFP, I tend to that with my eyes , like trying to remember and how to connect ideas xD
Same also infp
This is me 😭
so difficult, to make people understand what is going on inside you. I often give up before even trying, unless the person is genuinly interested ! Sometimes I talk about my experiences without even realizing what it means for myself, until I get a fitting response from someone else. "Oh, so that what I felt was because of that and it was not just a thought Inside my head"
You often give up before even trying, unless the person is genuinly interested- is pretty much the definition of being authentic
*grabs popcorn* Hoo boy, let's get ready for some inconsistency and rambling!
(fellow INFP here)
Talking, as an INFP, is like your mind creates a paiting of such beauty, it would melt even the hardest and coldest of hearts, yet as soon as you paint it, it just ends up looking like a 3 year old drew it
That seems to be a trend amongst INxx types.
Pure INFP 😅
This is so relatable it isn't even funny anymore 😂
haha!!
Just so you all know. ( I'm an INFP) when he looks at the sky pretending to think , it's not that he is thinking , he is only analyzing if what he is about to say would sound valid or not. And most of the time the analysis fails cuz we INFPs tend to think that we are taking somone else's time , so we just say whatever without giving it much of thought ,it's not really a useful thing , but we just do it as INFPs
I do something similar. Enfj, Enneagram 4
Yess
"What needed fixing?" I knew immediately that he would pause, take a moment, and give a vague answer - no way he was going to pour out his feelings for this guy lol.
I think people who confuse infj and infp will really see the difference with your videos. One thing i noticed is how different the eyes organise themselves while they talk. Infj's have this intense static stare while they talk and then look back at the interviewer whereas the infp is looking all over the place as if sussing out with Ne what they want to say. The other thing i noticed in the infj interview is that a few times he said "What do you think?" Or asked the interviewer questions (Fe) whereas the infp got excited at a new perspective with someone else's opinion of their work (Ne). Not that I'm a pro but that's my 2 cents.
Static stare and all over the place stare- I agree with that 😃
As an INFP I static stare not directly at the person when I've really locked into something on the topic of discussion and I'm really searching hard to see it that feels correct to me. When my eyes are darting around, I'm reading what's going on around a little, but I'm more so searching all the ideas and past experience that are flying around in my head. But I may have to try and take more notice.
INFJs have a much more intimidating or strong presence than INFP. For sure. Every INFJ I’ve met. I’m an INFP. Even if INFP dares to be bold, INFJ reeks of quiet strength even when they struggle or feel weak. (:
I sometimes stare directly at people's eyes, sometimes everywhere, mainly cos while it may seem like I am looking outside I am actually seeing the inside of my head and attempting to 'collect' my thoughts and also cos I tend to have a million different thoughts at once. I would suddenly think of something and then link that to something completely different and so on and so forth. Also, sometimes I see in pictures, other times we may interrupt suddenly cos of an eureka moment flashed by and we didn't want to forget. Also, yes, we get excited when our views are challenged with a new perspective. It's like reading a book with gazillion different plot twists and endings but same characters. I swear the inside of my head is crazy.
This resembles one of my friends to an uncanny extent. All about the looks to the behavior, only the voice is a little different and he laughs a lot more. Though through him I got to see a quite mature infp playing out his inferior functions. We were in the band playing a revue for our highshcool. He, who was the leader of the band, had been quite whimsical for the whole year. But a week before the premiere, it was like he snapped into a different mindset. Started to make sure we arrived on time, took control of rehearsals, went out to buy equipment several times and discussed profusely with the leaders of the other parts of the revue to get more than just the band in order, god knows we needed it. All this without ever losing his charm or empathy. It was like he tapped into his Te in a controlled manner, as if he was flexing his well concealed organisational muscles. He somehow was the best of both worlds, and who'd expect that out of an infp?
It's also worth mentioning that when he first learned of MBTI, he rejected the system all together, stating that people are too unique to ever be put within the confines of a label haha.
It's true though! Definition restricts the possibility of change. We can attempt to categorize ourselves but the more we try to do that the more u'll realize it's nearly impossible cos the same thing experienced by 3 people can produce such different results! We are all similarly different.
I'm an infp and i can relate to him. Sometimes i can't speak directly. But I love who i am.. 😍😍😊
This is sooooo me!!! 😂😂 Especially staring into space while trying to conversate.
Thanks for this Sara!!!
Erick Henderson sammmmeeee omg 😂
Sarah N. Dippity
It was really weird cause it felt like I was watching myself 😂
Erick Henderson lol I’ll bet! I see myself a lot in Kurt Cobain... the way he looks around and talks with his hands, and ends everything he says with “you know” or “yeah”. Before I even knew I was an INFP I was always a hardcore fan of Kurt and his music. And now, knowing that he’s ALSO an INFP explains so much. Makes me understand myself more while studying other INFP people/celebs. It’s great :)
Erick Henderson what’s your zodiac sign if you don’t mind me asking? I’m a Gemini with Scorpio rising and Taurus moon.
i can totally relate with how he talks, i definitely need to pause and think for awhile cause i cant keep focus with my train of thought!
WOW he is such a SWEETIE omg, INFP's are like the juice concentrate of ENFP, the richness of their Fi dominance with a more subtle and deliberate use of Ne + Si without the ENFP's Bulldozer-like Te is so cute i love my INFPotatoes so much
i can know a person my whole life and still take a few second to remember their names mid conversation
Everyone saying " As a infp" and no one is saying "OMG it's Chris Martin". No words can describe how this video was exciting for me, as a infp who adores Coldplay lmao
I’m an enfp and I adore Coldplay too😭😂
It feels like the world is out to get us and we want to give up. Yet we still deeply search for the beauty in it the best we can. Imagery encompasses our heads, and romance.. oh romance is important but very challenging to attain. We have these stories in our heads waiting to come true, but we feel like time is running out. Age becomes our enemy. We want to break out. We seek answers. We need inspiration. We just want to reach what we always dreamed of, yet our internal selves keep distracting and distracting till our energy runs out.
Nova In Motion so true! You explained this so well 🙌✅
I feel like you just spilled out my soul!!!!
Beautiful captions Sara. I am constantly amazed by the originality and for lack of a better word "accuracy" of your content.
💕❤ It means a lot
I hope I understood you well- ,,lack of a better word ,accuracy' of your content"...
What is accurate in the realm of the subjective (i.e. psychology/cognitive theory etc)?
All I can say is that I agree with the commentary and for me, that is "accurate" enough :)
Possibly even more special from an ENFJ with inferior Ti :)
- ENTJ
As an ENFP to my homies INFPs-I love you, you guys are adorable little Charlie's, please keep doing you, stay infinite.
I couldn't stop smiling throughout the whole video cuz it was like watching myself and i can relate to almost everything.
And thanks cuz this videos are really helpful.
:)) 💕
Is it just me, or are INxP types, dispute usually being socially introverted, are usually incredibly talkative? Like, I'm an INFP myself, and whenever I get approached, I gradually become more animated, often in a very offbeat way.
This is absolutely how I talk and form my thoughts! This is incredible!! Like, that’s it!! That’s my scattered brain trying to jumble together the feelings I have and beat them into something that sounds like a sentence! The pauses, the stutters, the stopping and starting because you aren’t sure how exactly you want to say it-that’s all me! Wow! That’s awesome!
I'm also an INFP and this literally described me and how I feel about things, I'm shook
Great vid! As an INFP, I really could relate to this :D
ENTP next saraaaa this series is probably my favorite in all of your videos it's so insightful❤
Thank you, dear 💜
I am doing this quadra currently. Your quadra-soon!
This is gold! 100% accurate. Your videos really helping me with my reseach on personality types.
OMGG AS AN ENFP I SIMPLY LOVE INFPs, Y’ALL GUYS ARE THE CUTEST😭😭💞💞
wow i am enfp but i relate to this soo much (also loveee chris martin) !! 1:32 - 2:01 made me genuinely smile bright. "If you design a song, it's never as great as a song that just arrives". That is literally how i feel about everything
Great video! As an INFP artist, I really related to this. And I LOVE Coldplay and Chris Martin. I am actually working on a video about him being an INFP!
Hey, I would love to see that :) 💕
Man! As an artist, Will you watch my videos?? Im and INFP too man
Im not even reading the text but the way he describes how ideas come to him resonates with me so much. When good idea comes it just comes on it's own and then I just get lost in that idea, take a walk outside or pasing around and just think about that idea usualy untill I start to go off track and go way too crazy and too cleachay with the briliant idea that I have.
Me once a month: maybe I’m not an INFP...
then I come to TH-cam and it’s thrown in my face 😂 wearing a huge “INFP” sign on my forehead.
(Edit: as i was writing this I started to doubt again 😅 I’ll never be sure).
Maybe cos INFPs hate defining things cos we believe there are so many possible different perspective to things. A question triggers a million other questions and thoughts and we are probably our biggest critic hahaha
When my mother kicked out of the house on my 18th birthday and I ended up living in a motel for a while. A store owner suggested I listen to a CD for a no reason. It was X/Y. I loved that album so fn much. I cry sometimes just thinking about it.
I love this interview clip. Listen to any interview with Robert Smith from The Cure. His answers and process of thinking is almost identical to this. One of my favourite INFP role models in the world too.
The way he talks just like me including the expressions.My mother always tells me not to talk like that, but I think it is natural for me.
I'm an INFP 4w5 (some of my other "wings" are rather close to my 5 score though and I have extensive understanding of my brain)..though I am definitely a 4. I relate to this wholeheartedly, obnoxiously. It's hard to actually break it down because it's almost "cringe" worthy. When I write, it comes from my "soul" otherwise I won't do it. I can write about anything, but I'll only ever write whenever something/someone/event has such a hold over to me that I have to write a song to immortalize the feeling, though if the song is for a person - I will give the song to them and never actually "read" it myself, so once that person is gone..that song is gone with them, unless they kept it themselves. I say that but I've only actually given a song to a particular person once as it's a deeply personal thing to share and it makes me incredibly vulnerable -- though -- without _them_ I'd of never actually written the song as their existence was the inspiration for the song. I've been on the computer my entire life (while being big into sports/outdoors) but also programming/scripting and world development (mapping) which world creation for me (my favorite form of art) - adding all the characters and the quests to the world is quite like writing a song, you're bringing something in existence with your own personality and your ability to compliment the world with further pieces of your imagination and having someone "play" it and enjoy it is one of the most addicting, amazing feelings I've ever had.
It's really strange being an "INFP" male in 2022. The internet is bigger than ever, but we're more "alone" than ever. Authenticity has been shaved away for waterfalling facades, reality TV shows have replaced reality - and people base their lives off of shows scripted heavier than a WWE match.
Fun Fact: I remember this entire family of Pentecostals believed "wrestling WWE" was actually real, unscripted - and me being a 7-8 year old had to explain to the father that this isn't real was insane to me, he attempted to belittle and humiliate me. He never apologized.
Also as roughly the same age at the state fair, a preacher asked us as we walked by if we believed in "christ" when I was with my grandmother and I answered "I'm not sure." and apparently found out from that day on I was absolutely hellbound as he was unable to make me conform to this ideal/belief.
I learned young that people will nearly always attempt to alter your beliefs to match theirs - If you don't believe how they do, it's "unacceptable" and I believe as an INFP we're one of the few with the natural resistance to stay authentic in a forever growing virtual cesspool of inauthentic, misinformed, misinformation and any attempts to speak up are drowned out by 100's of "sheep" spamming until you're drowned out by their overpowering sound.
Jokes on them though, as I'd be an amazing cult leader. (Friends would approve this). I might get to that point. >;)
I love this! I never knew he was an infp, but i can totally completely relate to how he speaks and what he means.
"Not giving himself enough credit."
...oh.
Scattered mind 😂 Couldn't have said it better.
You do a phenomenal job at this
Okay, i guess now i can differentiate INFPs(hi everyone) and INFJs(it's me):
1. INFPs biggest issue is forming a concrete thoughts, while INFJs biggest issue is focusing on daily basis details.
2.INFPs talk in very "cut-like" way and use authentic and unique self-crafted words, INFJs talk in loose way and use metaphors.
3. INFPs talk about PAST events or experiences to win an argument, while INFJs talk about imaginitive FUTURE consequences to win an argument.
4. INFPs prefer music that focuses on authenticity, beauty and past feelings/nostalgia, INFJs prefer music that focuses on bright images, beauty and future dream-like stories.
5. INFPs do not have struggle with their identity but have struggle with fitting in, INFJs have struggle with their identity but fit in easily and feel empty in crowd.
6. INFPs know who THEY are, but do not know WHAT THEY WANT, INFJs know WHAT THEY WANT, but do not know who THEY are.
7. INFPs react to traumatic event by feeling depressed(people do not accept them) and keep to hold on, INFJs react to traumatic event by feeling melancholic(not accepting people) and overanalize everything.
8. INFPs end up being hurt romantically because want to know why they try A LOT and people DO NOT want them, INFJs end up being hurt romantically because want to know why they DO NOT LIKE ANYONE and DO NOT SEE MEANING.
Hope it helps guys))) your lovely INFJ
1. I have trouble forming concrete thoughts. I'm absolutely terrible at imporvisation for something like a school presentation, 30 seconds in I malfunction without a script. So I write the script and memorize it. If I miss a line, my whole memory of it can stop, same for playing music on the piano(tertiary si and absolutely aweful ni )-->also corollary to
6. I don't know what I want(probably the bad ni) but I always think about how I feel and what kind of person I might be(fi)
2. I can't talk for the life of me so it may seem "cut like" as I think about how to talk.
3.Talking about my past experiences is my go to conversation starter with someone who I like(tertiary si)
4. My favorite style of music is japanese pop music and they are all about nostalgia(tertiary si preference)
5. Yea, I can't make friends easily or be in a big social circle
7. Yes I lost some friends because I was depressed of a "trauma" I had from a failed relationship
8. Yes when I am in love with someone, I try a hell a lot to get them to like me more. I presented birthday, christmas, valentines day, thanksgiving presents and even some days that weren't holidays. And when they don't reciprocate or something happens, I get so confused.
Thanks to you, I'm sure I'm an infp now.
INFP's always want some space... We're experts in ghosting. 😅
Wow I love this! I really like your breakdown and explanation :)
I'm really eager to see the INTJ one :)
I have deeply connected to Coldplay for over a decade. I really get their lyrics. Now I better understand why. Just learned a few months back that I am an INFP. When I saw that Chris is, I wasn’t even surprised!
When god came up with the idea of cuteness, he created INFPs.
Love yourselves, my fellow INFP’s. ❤️
We are unique and special, and nobody else can do what we do. 🥰
"Having a hard time trying to express his thougts verbally" Me. Literally me every single day of my life. I have no idea why I can write my feelings, thoughts and opinions completely fine, but once I have to verbally explain them to someone my brain just turns off and it ends up sounding like giberish.
I love this! This is super helpful to me, I would love to see more videos where you superimpose the function being used over real conversations.
I want to speak as lovely as my mind sounds.
I love and admire this man...we're both INFP and Pisces 💓
Hey Sara, I love your videos. Great work!
I recently saw some clips of Aurora (the singer) interviewing and I was taken aback by her similarities to Chris Martin. I've been a fan of Coldplay for over 17 years and watching her was like rediscovering Chris Martin's persona all those years ago. This particular interview - if I'm not mistaken - is from around 2005, which would explain why this triggered a burst of nostalgia.
[INFJ/4w5]
I typed Aurora as an Infp few days ago.
Thank you:))
Love it this is spot on! Very interesting observations.
He reminds me of Princess Diana :)
This is so fascinating and intriguing, and informative. Love this analysis! INFJ here :)
I’ve read things that say INFP’s have an easy time communicating their ideas but INFJ’s struggle that’s why I thought I was INFJ. Not anymore. I totally relate to how he perks up and needs “help” expressing himself.
Seeing your own type in action is always surreal as hell. Lol
3:30 so cute
this video and the comments section awwmannn 🙆♀️🙆♀️❤❤❤💕
Allll this time i felt like a stranger i can't talk with others i struggle and then find myself easy to make a whole conversation in my head .
Seeing those infp videos made me less uncomfortable about myself . I feel so satisfied like i always want someone to understand me 😭❤
Damn this reflects me as a musician, I was typed ENTP, but I am not sure. I've learnt to play guitar by myself, mostly concluding the relations between notes and choreds by ear, and the patterns that certain scales have on the fretboard of the guitar. Patterns are everywhere in music.
"Having a hard time to express his thoughts verablly" I felt that
I have to say, one of the things I am most proud of is my ability to articulate myself when I talk. I get so many compliment on how well spoken I am. HOWEVER when you ask me to express my FEELINGS, I suddenly cannot speak and I stutter.
It's a weird feeling.
INFPS deep thinkers and feelers - however unable to express and verbalise said feelings.
Thanks for this video, really appreciate it. If it's not too much to ask, I would love if you do another video someday with another male INFP male. Or female if feel inclined. Being male I would prefer male. Just curious to see the tells of other INFP'S that may have different weaknesses and strengths in their functions. Thanks again.
I’m an INFP and i really enjoyed this interview.
Can we do an INTP one next?
❤️
Thank you 💕
It's nfps, stjs turn now :)
But, soon, ofc
he literally is like my two infp friends, oh man i just really love infps!
I can relate .. to the thinking pattern
i love my infp's! my partner and best friend are both infp t and infp a types. I am so fortunate that they both can understand me at the deepest of levels and also have the greatest levels of trust. you guys are the best! :) - from an enfp a type
I knew it😄✌. He's infp. My # 2 celebrity i'm certain of 😊.
Btw i love your channel!😄💕💕💕
Thank you 💜
You have great videos!
Thank you! 😃
Just do your videos, it's fun! Do it :) everyone who wants to say something should be free to share his/her thoughts. Go ahead 💕
Ok, so my best friend's boyfriend is EXACTLY Chris Martin. He even looks like him! He speaks like him, he has the same body language, no matter how much I told you they're similar you won't believe me. But he tested as an ENFP and I can't believe for a second that he is. My best friend actually IS an ENFP and I KNOW what ENFPs are like. He's definitely WAAYY more introverted. And yes I know ENFPs are the most introverted of the extroverts but that's not it. Do you think his test results were wrong? Also, I'm SO confused by INFPs because they're so drastically different from one another it's incredibly confusing. They're making me almost not trust the mbti at all 😂😂. Also, your videos and analysis are literal art. I felt overwhelmed when I watched Al Paccino's INFJ video. It's beautiful. Thank you soo much ❤
Can he also sing? He should become a legend just like him lol
Classified LMAO no he can't, I don't think 😂😂 he's also not a blond with blue eyes and pale skin, he has black hair and brown eyes and tanned skin 😂 but in all other ways he looks like Chris a lot. The body language really just further emphasises that 😁.
Thank you so much💕 I am glad you enjoyed
I don’t trust personality tests at all, so it’s very possible the test had typed him wrong.
As an INFP myself, I feel like this is a very accurate analysis and I have to say that I love it! It really is difficult to verbalize our internal thoughts sometimes and that "all over the place" stare is SO me! 😂
Sometimes I do it subconsciously and I have to catch myself. Add in being a double Pisces with a Gemini Asc. and it's just like 😲
But this Makes me imagine what Chris would think seeing someone analyze him like that lmao! Thanks for the vid Sara :) appreciate it~♪ definitely Subbing!
On point, he's so adorable. I really saw myself as a Fi Ne Si Te user 💗
This is the first person I've yet seen with the label of infp in a video that I was able to not only see as such but relate to- I have no idea who this men is but I really really like him. I hope he's very well if he's still alive.
this video was like exposing me, so accurate wow good job
Hi Sara, I'm really enjoying the new series and I have a suggestion for a video you could use to analyze an ISFP, Lady Gaga. In it, she describes how writing songs is a huge part of who she is and how she longs for depth and honesty (Fi). She also talks about how she doesn't like to think about fixing any of her songs because that's what she wanted to say "in that moment" and if she wasn't famous, she'd still be "banging on a piano" in downtown Manhattan. While saying this she hyperventilates, showing body language (Se). The section starts at 7:32 and goes to 10:24. Sorry to throw all this out there at once, I saw this on Facebook and instantly thought of your channel. th-cam.com/video/Y7_hwQF8GEM/w-d-xo.html
My life is mainly in my mind 😌✨🌱
Aweee i never knew we can be this cute when we are talking about something that interest us🙈
My communication skills are so much better through texting. I sounds like a flippin genius when i can put my thoughts into words. Thats why I love writing letters and despise phone calls
I'm an INFP.
My friend tell me that most of INFP have sleepy-sad eyes. And I'm just realize it.
He looks so charming .
