I'm an INFP and I've actually never felt offended whenever you tell us something we needed to realize, it feels more relieving being told what is wrong because that way I get to learn more about myself
Chase you actually educated me enough to realize i wasnt an INFP, but a shadow focused ENFJ with social anxiety. Ive grown so much that people dont even recognize me after a year! Fortunately my spiritual development helped me swallow the crisis so fast that i literally just admitted to everyone ive been wrong, took all the ridicule and made something to laugh it off! I love being around xNFPs because i make them take things less personally and laugh things off as life itself will be the ultimate source of entertainment for all of us. Cheers mate :)
Chase, I don't think I've ever been disgusted by (an infp) video of yours. I have learned so much from you, and you are more like a mentor to me than anything else. Thank you so much for the focus of videos on my type. You have no idea how important they have been to me. :)
As an INFP, I appreciate all of the crap you talk about us. It's an awakening slap in the face, but I can't get mad because I know you're speaking the truth. I've been struggling with sloth since we had to shut down the plant that I managed, and I'm down to a weight I haven't seen since boot camp. The past two years have been a struggle, to say the least, and I've become quite the anti-social recluse. I have always been successful, and held a position of authority anywhere I found myself, but it's as if I don't know what to do when I don't have a group of people to guide.
To answer ur question about which specific life situation, CSJ, I was drawn to this videos headline because it reminded me of my journey through chronic illness. I think this is an excellent example of how INFP can go thru an identity crisis. We form our identities around all these ideals about ourselves, then something debilitating can challenge all of that and bring our weaknesses to light. This is especially true when it comes to having to fight the “sloth” and concurrent hedonism that comes with the pain and struggles of chronic pain. It gets all tangled up in our self conceptualization of being strong, resilient, resourceful, positive ppl 😂 and make us realize that all of that is not inherent if we stop fighting the sloth. So, yeah, I basically had to fall apart and reinvent myself and learn self compassion a trillion times 😂 and let go of those ego investments u speak of to be able to grow.
Going through this process. Often beating myself up just to break that attitude and be better. I have grown a habit of listening to other people's reasons despite not my values and beliefs then think and rethink it.
I’m also INFP w a Progressive chronic illness. Losing mobility took my health down & my hobby/natural medicine. Embracing my introversion helps me go within for a deeper insight & lust for life. Mentally & physically challenging myself through meditations & yoga has been a huge healthy coping tool. Wishing you peace & comfort ❤️
From my own personal experience, my identity crisis resulted in having to manage everyones different perceptions of me. How my family percieved me, how my close friends percieved me, how strangers, percieved and even how my own girlfriend percieved me. These different “personas” that i made myself play varied so differently that it resulted in me losing myself. The way i see my identity crisis is that my Ti demon was tired that I didnt have any consistency and truth about myself. Luckily i found your channell and found a basis of who I am and y i act the way I do, and im glad to say my Te inferior improved greatly from it.
Yip its called putting all your eggs in one basket. So if you drop the basket you have smashed all your eggs. As infp l learned the hard way years ago not to do this in life. Im acutely aware when my heart and mind are wandering into this, so I pull myself back and I have found that getting busy doing practical hands on stuff is the antidote, even if its lending someone in need a hand.
"death is on the table" 24/7 but consciousness is also on the table, as well as the eventual perception that dying creates more problems than it solves. for myself, my identity is rooted in being creative, it is the centre to which all else is made manifest. i think infps need a plethora of outlets with which they can express their initiatives. there are strong connections between schizophrenia and extroverted intuition without a healthy ego to stay grounding ourselves we are at risk of getting lost within the endless identities that make up the collective unconscious.
What a relief when I realized I'm an ENTP and not an INFP, after thinking so for 8 years (my most common conflicts in my marriage with my INFJ matching exactly what your INFJ-ENTP relationship video helped turn the lightbulb on.) I think it wasn't the hardest switch for me because of Fi trickster: "Oh, I should value this instead of that? Okay!" And it also got me out of the Fi trickster trap of getting stuck when asking what I value. Now I'm forcing myself to experiment with trying new things, learning what I can from them, and moving on to the next thing instead of investing in some narrative about myself and what I value, so honestly I was quite relieved when I came to the realization. I also read the book Range because of your recommendation to INTPs, so that was a very helpful read, too. I can imagine that being wrong about your type when you're an Fi hero would be a much more painful process than what I experienced.
My ISTP boyfriend repeatedly told me that there were always others suffering more than me. Oh boy did it hurt so fucken badly. Not feeling validated, or loved, or heard. I told him for many miserable months to listen to me, to shut up, and it made us both a mess. What should an INFP do when confronted with soul-crushing truths? Humble yourself, and listen. Ever been homeless? Not have access to your bank? Ever been to war? That's true pain if you ask me. You have the choice to not be your thoughts. If other Infps like myself understood the feeling of taking responsibility into their own hands, then the U.S. and Canada would not be dealing with a power struggle with the left if you know what I mean.
Hi, Chase!! I'm very, very, very grateful you made this particular lecture. I had been going through the WORST time of my entire life this last year and I basically was heading straight towards either never, ever doing anything again or suicide. I actually hadn't made up my mind yet when I decided to re-watch this today and then you talked specifically about the issues I have been struggling with. I'm a 47 year old woman who essentially cannot even hold onto to ANY ego investments. It seemed as if I would try to get invested in something but immediately started finding ways to tear down any potential plan or idea with my Ti demon and it was honestly SO VERY SAD and depressing I did not want to exist any longer. I just cannot find anything "true" or "worthy" about myself, if that makes sense? And I really wanted to, of course. But just watching you talk about these things was such a relief to hear:) I know I still have work to do as far as trying to define myself, but now I know I'm not all by myself either, lol. I'm just very grateful you are out there discussing these things in great detail. You really did me a service today and I just wanted you to know that. THANK YOU ALWAYS.
Normally I love you for the videos you do. The identity problem is especially known to the 4-infp ennegagram and other types. Generally, people who have had a relationship with naricism also feel that their identity has been destroyed. We, as INFP 4w5 or 4w3, feel a constant lack of our identity throughout our lives. It's just like C.S said it's horrible, let's add super laziness to it and it's no wonder that at the end of this path the INFP only sees death, because they don't even have each other (i mean we don't have selfs). INFPs also appear to be the most committed suicide of all types. That's why I am so terribly thankful that C.S Joseph helps - us INFP so much. Personally, as infp-A 4w5, it helped me in the identity crisis that I had to accept myself, love myself as a whole, and re-create borders. As an infp who had a gigantic identity problem and I am to blame for everything described here except for some sexual assault, I know there is a way out of it. For me, when I get lost, I come back to the objectivity of "te" and the use of "reason". It helps immediately. Another trick that helped me was accepting that maybe I don't have an identity and never will and using "acceptance" as way to live. Action is also helpful, because in this you will find yourself. Your private philosophy is an individual matter but i highly recommend to check holes in it. The most important thing for INFP is to accept and love yourself and to create boundries. This is the golden trinity. There are other weaknesses that I have overcome as an infp, such as not worrying about what other people think of me but too long to write about it. I mention it to give you hope - it is possible! I could describe a lot here, but it would be a book. With great respect and I would like to hug you C.S.Joseph, because at least someone tries to understand us and does not see us only as a failure. Best regards from Poland.
I couldn’t agree more and thanks for sharing! Finding other INFPs that have come to very similar understandings is so self-affirming and it’s comforting to feel less alone in the world.
@@alisonfisher1877 I think the problem is that we often don't understand ourselves. We try to find ourselves and live in our private philosophy / dreamland. As an additional motivation, I would like to add that it is really possible to be healthy much more than avarage person, but it's damn heavy, it's the hardest thing you will do, which is getting yourself together. And the constant struggle with our pursuit of comfort does not help at all. I have written more than once, the key is also to study the superego. Developing objective thinking, reason and remembering our demon Ti. If you do your job, you will understand that we as infp are not so hopeless, but you will be amazed at yourself if you will do the work and how you are in general awesome, despite your flaws. Unfortunately your old "I" must die with your weak philosophy - be reborn and create a new one that will serve all.
@@haihai5293 Yep yep, I feel all of that. I’ve done a lot of work on myself, and continue to do so, ever since I came out of my sleep-walking stupor. I don’t ever see myself reaching a finish line or conclusion, the process matters more than any sort of ambiguous result. We INFPs want to be known and understood and yet remain the quirky mysterious person of intrigue in peoples lives. Talk about cognitive dissonance. I’m still trying to accept that my lot in life is a lonely one even in a committed relationship, but I believe becoming completely self-reliant in every sense is how I can be of most benefit and that’s a return on an investment that keeps on giving. 😊
Understand where you're coming from. I had a hard time understanding my relationship with "narcissists" was entirely my own fault and making. Convinced myself that all behavior was a justified reaction. I still have a hard time with that. It' becomes a hard reality to know the opportunity to change reality has come and gone multiple times. Keep up the lectures!
From my personal experiences and knowledge, when a person is at their lowest (not just financially but in character, attitude, etc., etc.,) this is when they are toxic and begin to project their blame, envy, and problems onto others. Especially if they secretly compare their selves to you. An INFP at their lowest transitions into a covert narcissist.
INFP living in Mississippi. I am slothful because I believe most people are stupid. I have not been approached and spoken to by anyone in years. It's a very anti-social hierarchically institutionalized society. I post questionable things on social media that people may take offense to or not understand. I very much feel it is a way to initiate a feeling of authority, or 'chip away at the status quo' as I like to think of it. It seems to be one of the few options available at present until I am able to move to a city. Every third or fourth day I'll venture out as a sort of itinerant risk taker, but it's almost as if, when strangers are around, though I've read voraciously of classics, history, and academia, I cannot find words to say to them except courtesy. THere is a sort of unwritten proscription here of expressing anything intuitive, so I have to make it all about gestures surrounding my mystery.
What you said about suicide is very true. I have suffered two severe episodes and been diag osed with multiple mental health disorders but never knew that most of it had to do with me being an infp. I am the most overly sensitive person and my emotions have caused pain for others and loss because i could not regulate it. I still have my days where i go to that lowest point but i dont think its avoidable. Most of my best poems come from when im there in the darkness and am nkw learning to come to terms with it rather than being ashamed of it. I cry a lot....but i have learnt to laugh too 😊 most tear jerking mind blown ep ive seen so far and def a lot too process.
The ego of the INFP and INTP is like a dragon it will have to be slain by a knight (rock bottom). However this will be great for them/us. We can’t get our philosophers stone without sacrifice. So “just do it” - shia labeouf
I relate to all this. 3 years post identity death and I’m still not feeling recovered. Not really sure where the distinction lies between using your dominant function and navigating with Values and an unhealthy ego investment. The problem as I saw it in the rear view was that I had the wrong values and projected fantasy to avoid the truth so long that I built my life around idealistic lies. I had formed my values around my base hedonistic desires and emotional impulses instead of using values to reign in my desires and guide action. My recovery has involved returning to philosophy and theology and using it to understand the flaws in my ideas formed in emotional immaturity. For me, it’s always been hard to do anything I don’t feel like, and my shifting emotional state has always had too much influence on my life. I built a life philosophy to enable me Feel right about acting on emotional and hedonistic impulses.
15 years ago when I was with my ex. I kept testing myself as an infp. I have dabbled with various types. I was even typed by twfp who typed me esfp. But deep down I was lying to myself & those around me. I thought I was doom to failure because life socially has always been a struggle. I did not want to be me because I was rejected so much thoughout my life. Now I realize lying to myself & being someone I’m not is what’s causing me suffering. I don’t care whether if people accept me. I just want to be me. ❤❤❤❤
Firstly CSJ, thank you. INFP here, who has experienced a identity crisis, at least twice now. I had the first one just prior to a introduction to sobriety, a beyond chaotic time in my life, where my personal safety and sanity came into question. I was far away from everything and everyone in every way. From my heart I appreciate every time you tell the truth to us. Acceptance is the key, but discipline is the door. Once a INFP opens that door, you get the Robert Greens of the world. A profoundly human individual.
I think INFPs have a difficult time being honest with themselves, especially on tests like 16personalities which put a positive spin on all the types. When I was in college doing a math and physics degree (around 2010), I tested as an INTP. I wanted to imagine myself as a logical being. When I redid the test in 2020 I scored INFJ (with J/P close to 50/50). I've done the test three other times since then, and it's always been INFP, and the trend has only become clearer as I've matured and been able to be more honest with myself. The final confirmation was my discovery of your TH-cam channel, precisely because you talk about the weaknesses. For instance, I never could explain what my inner monologue was until I learned what Ti Demon was. Edit: You're also correct about how dangerous and life-threatening identity loss is as well. The positive side of it is that if we make it out of the dark stages, we're much stronger for it afterwards.
I’m so grateful for this channel, your work, and your straightforward honesty because I believe you have the best intentions and I get so much out of it. I guess I was lucky in a sense that my ego identity was always being challenged and disrespected from a very young age. It was extremely painful and confusing until I was able to actually grow the fuck up later in my adult life and build some identity to my own conscious choosing. Now I’m always looking for cracks or flaws in how I think and act, just as you explained. Because of my past experiences and the realization of the benefit and joy I get from improving and becoming all the more resilient, I appreciate anyone or thing that helps me see where those improvements need to happen. I’m able to laugh at myself and get to work rather than become immobilized. Thank you Chase, for continuing to drop epiphanies that allow me to understand myself more holistically and become the better person I’m always striving to be. Cheers.
Wow….thank you C.S. Joseph I have a friend who I suspect is an infp(or an isfp) and he almost tried to commit suicide He had a tough childhood growing up There was one time where he unleashed his ti demon on me and my group of friends when he wanted to confess his bottled up emotions as a result….of various fights we had in the past He immediately regretted it after that and felt as though some of us still hate him to this day. Also found out couple of months ago that he was diagnosed with BPD. He is doing better now but I always see this sadness in his eyes
How do you know what I'll be doing when I retire my current lifestyle? 🤔☠️😏😂 Great video CS Joseph 👍 Dear INFP folks - he's telling the bland truth. Comes from the INFP who is dangerously close to INTP and consciously wants to develop ISTP side. Still I can't 100% let go my idealistic thoughtforms. It's 98% of the 'let it be' and back to the square one. I'm trying to shed them slowly one at a time.
I've experienced an identity crisis when I was in my ENTJ shadow. I gotta say, it was one of the worst experiences of my life, it felt like everything was fake, my contributions were meaningless and forged from greed. This experience makes me feel so damn grateful for being mentally sane and being a Ti user, if it's ever hard to accept myself, I remember that day and remind myself of all that I have that could seemingly disappear at any moment of time.
It's interesting hearing this bc I vividly remember calling a friend while walking my dogs and talking about my low self confidence issues and how I feel this need to supress my confidentiality because it would fill my ego too much and idk I guess subconsciously knew that it was a territory that I would be very volatile in. That wad a few years ago before I started deep diving into these archetypes. Like I knew I kept getting INFP but besides noticing looks of pitty and disappointment on my INTJ teacher, I didn't know how deep this shit went. Fast forward to now where I have been on and off trying to find a therapist for a good two years with no luck (tho emphasis on the on and off. I got really bad phone anxiety and getting told "we don't carry your insurance" or "we're not taking anyone at this moment", plus setting up my own appointments being an adulting skill I struggle with just kind reinforces the anxiety. Getting out my comfort zone, but not getting results and getting really put off by it to rhe point where I take a couple weeks-couple months break from my next attempt), and now I'm deep diving into this type of stuff so see if there's any thing I can use this for helping myself in the mean time. Wow that was a long winded rant that almost had a point lol. I'll leave it up tho for shits and giggles. Maybe other infps will relate, maybe not 🤣😅
i do not think i am infj, and i can tell ya i never saw u as evil or wrong and stuff. I had my crisis 4 years ago ( 21 ) and yeah switched from lazy to opposite; i felt i was losing a part of me, become more "shallow" (cuz my shadow is extroverted), but in the end i accepted it cuz in life you cannot always be deep and have people apprecciate it, you have to learn social behaviour; maybe sometimes i even went too far (nothing too much, just overdoing and seeming a clown needing attentino), but right now thanks to people (also another ENTP) i ask how people see me and i say thanks when people tell me the truth. I always knew i was guillable cuz when i was a kid i believed everything ( also had an ENTP dad), i will always be honest at least about how few i know shit about stuff so maybe i can learn more. I think the zen is to balance it, what i am trying to do. I also asked myself if it would be better to be happy without knowing the truth or sad but knowing it; and my answer is to suffer from it but learning from it; i am so fucking scared of people telling me lies to make me feel good, i never asked for it, i know i can take the hits, so NFJ's out there please don't lie to make us feel good.
LOL, IDK who are the people you misdirected in the past, but you surely have made my life better (or at least I am feeling like it). (And I pretty sure many people also gain the benefit of your content). Thank you Chase. It is my Fe want you to feel better about yourself and my Ti want to telling the truth at the same time.
Interesting one.. I dont feel that shattered about my ego investments crushed but probably because I'm young and didnt build that much of my life around a "lie". Latest biggest crush of my ego investment was finding out that my parents dont love me or at least not in a healthy sense and that I'm rather part of their trauma survival strategy. For your channel, it took me some days to decide wether or not you are a "good" person. In regards of "knowing" the truth, I know to shock a lot of people (esp. Ti child / inferiors) when I pack out my belief systems 😂💀
That sucks lmao. No wonder it's hard to let go of things. Then you put money into whatever it is and spend money into fixing whatever problem there is but it still doesn't fix anything. It's a mess.... I really don't understand how you'd confuse the infj or infp? When I was introduced into mbti I always got infp. And maybe because my enfj brother explained what it was. Thanks for the video Chase! Much appreciated! Edited( I don't think I was ever disgusted by you Chase, I have always thought maybe you were possibly disgusted by me.) But I was raised by a crusader. 🤷
Hello sir Joseph! I love your work. Specially the Sacred Gender/ Mature Masculine. It was such a wake up call for me to man up. NGL the first video i watched i thought you are mean. But as I watched more, you are really wise and kind. thank youu
I understand what you mean by the ego investments. Yeah until now I still have an ego investment with identifying as an INFP. I would like people around me to understand that because I have been living on what other people think I should be. The burden of expectations have been tiring.
I have noticed that there are recurring dynamics in the extended relationships between the different types. For example, In my experience, if an INxJ is in a relationship with an ISxP, and an ENxP is a friend of both, there is a risk that the ENP, if immature and in its demon, could have derisive and devaluing inclinations towards the INxJ, because he sees him as a rival and has no intention of accepting what he is (Si), so his self will push him to compete with the INxJ. In all of this, ISxPs might appreciate it, because their Ni baby is envious of INxJ's hidden potential and mysteriousness and their ability to perform, and they hate the hatred that their partner INxJ obscures them from making them. others note the qualities and beauty of the ISxP.The INxJ could in his demon that drags him into laziness, passivity and uncertainty.
I guess I am going through this. And yes when you told that sentence about 'death'. I'm scared... Is there any solution? Not like I can talk to anyone idk how to say all these stuffs to anyone... I feel frustrated seeing everyone around me just sad and messed up bcuz of me
INFP(?): I have C-PTSD and have gone all in sloth after long periods of mindless initiative. Words stopped making sense to me at one point, which is tantamount to having no ethics. Then I stagnated physically. As a cult abuse survivor, I'm lucky that I'm not a man and so avoided becoming a rapist💀. I know that's so not funny💀💀but it IS funny☠. I think INFPs have to invest more in morals to compensate for the identity-crisis-related lack of ethics, which I agree makes us dangerous to ourselves and others, depending. There's a point where there are no ethics and an INFP's morals may be up in the air. INFPs are especially at risk for suicide at these times. The rapist thing, though, I don't think that's a specifically INFP thing, and I'm not claiming moral purity or superiority for INFPs, which is bullshit. The rapists I have known were primarily Se doms (due to impulsivity?) but also a Si dom (now deceased) as well as other types, especially under the influence.
I like when he has very short, but not buzzed hair, and more of a 5 o'clock shadow, as opposed to a beard. Like back in many of his white board videos. The beard and mohawk especially, are not a good look. He's actually a handsome guy. But obviously he couldn't care less about what anyone thinks of him or how he looks or what he says or the way he says it, or if it's dark outside or if the audio is bad due to high winds, etc etc. As an INFP, I absolutely would care. I'd want everything to be as perfect as it could be - or it's not worth doing at all - and that's a problem. I'm working on it. I envy ENTPs in this way. I'm currently reading No More Mr. Nice Guy, which he recommended, and I am super focused on making the changes that will help me get past my toxic shame. Maybe the most important book I've ever read.
Surround yourself with Ti users-preferably Ti inferior. Also, don’t believe everything people tell you or everything you think. We’re prone to deluding ourselves.
What do you recommend for an INFP who isn't sure if I am one and could be an INFJ but watched the INFP VS INFJ video and still doesn't have clarity because I related to INFJ and INFP statements made in the video? Oh, and I got INFP in your test and I've never shat on you, I love your fiery sword of truth lol.
Funny how it wasn't a source of elation for you when you realised you'd finally figured out your type. I discovered mbti at 11 and didn't realise until I was 22 what my true type was.
What's the difference between a healthy INFP and an INFP with an inferiority complex? Because the descriptions on inferiority complex read a lot like a typical INFP-description
I read book from Buddhist author and it was all about detaching yourself from all beliefs. even thinking about it just felt horrible to me, how can anyone achieve this state? I know I put a lot of faith in my beliefs, I pray i won't become a victim to them.
If you have beliefs you are a victim of them and a product of them by definition. Why believe when you can know. Belief is delusion if unverified with primary experience. You are in hell. Want to get to heaven, point b? First you have to admit where point a is.
You feel horrible because you are attached. The identification with your phenomenon is where the suffering comes from. How to achieve it? Practice and be truly honest with yourself. Stop hiding.
The enlightened one could achieve this state. It's high quality mind state of serenity, tranquility and equanimity. Pure bliss and free from all turmoil, prejudice, and delusion produced by his/her thought and feeling. One must understand the true nature of his/her existence, not even confused by it.
@@celticdeamon567 it’s impossible to know everything, but for some things you have to act in accordance as if you do know. That is called faith and there is nothing wrong with having some. It’s also very possible to have beliefs without attachment to them. When your beliefs are about yourself, that’s a little more complicated and just giving some cold, formulaic diatribe as advice isn’t very helpful, at least not for INFPs.
@@alisonfisher1877 we live in a dualism. Everything/ nothing Black/ white Pain/ pleasure Ignorance/ awareness These are all natural pairings from nature itself. To know everything you must understand that nothing is not so everything must be. I have a formula that works. If yours requires belief then yours doesn't work. It's that simple. I am not dogma. My truth is spontaneous. You just don't understand. And no.. it's by definition NOT POSSIBLE to have beliefs without believing in them. You don't have awareness of what you are saying. What you call faith here is what bhuddists would call delusion. If you're gonna delude yourself at least be honest about it and do it on purpose. But that's not what you're saying either.
Doesn't that mean Frank will be completely broken when he finally finds out the hard way that he is living his life pretending to be someone he is not? I wonder if that will happen when his brand loses its luster or, for example, a relationship with someone makes both him and the other person realize that he is not what his image shows who he is. Hope Frank can endure the incoming crisis then...
What if one day I realize that all this typology was a big lie? I know that you say this is the truth, but when many people around you do not take these words seriously. And even one of my family members believes that I have been brainwashed by you. And I can talk to very few people about it, what should I do? While I myself know how much knowing these stuff has helped me. I remember you said that infp should express their beliefs to avoid the risk of being ignorant, but what happens when people exactly challenge what you learned from typology?
Easy, firstly prove it to them with stacks of an irrefutable evidence. The truth must prevail regardless of what the majorities believe in. Second, if this really the truth, then you must able to predict the future phenomenon using the knowledge of this system. -intp ways
Figure out how to educate them about it more to see that it is a valid subject. Something doesn’t have to be “scientific” to be valid or useful. Express how much it helps you, and offer some good academic sources that explain what mbti is and what it isn’t. Or stop sharing with them and find others that will hear you. Don’t let others’ ignorance put you off your path. If it works for you, that’s good enough as long as you’re being responsible with your knowledge. Hope this helps on your way to figuring it out.
As INFP, I never do this to any cc. Omg. I feel sorry for you. Those INFP really went madness. That's not nice at all. People can make their opinions. I meet INTPs at school. My sister is INFJ. Ti is logical mindset. It sounds intimidating but there's something in it. That's right contemplating to processing it. But talk shit to cc like is not right. That's true critical judgement can cause Fi as savior/hero shattered. Still not like the resentful part. Are you really entp or estj? 😂 I remember old boss estj hate me raise complains and asking too much questions. 😌 Jk.
How does one know if its a value/need or an unhealthy ego investment? Are all ego investments unhealthy? Can someone give an exemple of a healthy ego investment
With logic. If you tell me absolute truth does not exist then I would ask you if it’s a true statement. If you say yes, we agree. If you say no, then you cancel out your own previous statement and absolute truth still exists.
No youre not, its the same limiting belief as "if this woman rejects me others will too" Appreciate all types and be exposed to your compatible ones, i love INFPs the most fr. -ENFJ
Sometimes I think Chase is the only one who loves us, by that I mean all the parts that make us up as individuals. I keep it reserved to only a fleeting thought so as to not become a homicidal maniac though, 😂 j/k.

Chase you actually educated me enough to realize i wasnt an INFP, but a shadow focused ENFJ with social anxiety.
Ive grown so much that people dont even recognize me after a year!
Fortunately my spiritual development helped me swallow the crisis so fast that i literally just admitted to everyone ive been wrong, took all the ridicule and made something to laugh it off!
I love being around xNFPs because i make them take things less personally and laugh things off as life itself will be the ultimate source of entertainment for all of us.
Cheers mate :)
how did you realize that? what made you tick?
Chase, I don't think I've ever been disgusted by (an infp) video of yours. I have learned so much from you, and you are more like a mentor to me than anything else. Thank you so much for the focus of videos on my type. You have no idea how important they have been to me. :)
As an INFP, I appreciate all of the crap you talk about us. It's an awakening slap in the face, but I can't get mad because I know you're speaking the truth. I've been struggling with sloth since we had to shut down the plant that I managed, and I'm down to a weight I haven't seen since boot camp. The past two years have been a struggle, to say the least, and I've become quite the anti-social recluse. I have always been successful, and held a position of authority anywhere I found myself, but it's as if I don't know what to do when I don't have a group of people to guide.
To answer ur question about which specific life situation, CSJ, I was drawn to this videos headline because it reminded me of my journey through chronic illness. I think this is an excellent example of how INFP can go thru an identity crisis. We form our identities around all these ideals about ourselves, then something debilitating can challenge all of that and bring our weaknesses to light. This is especially true when it comes to having to fight the “sloth” and concurrent hedonism that comes with the pain and struggles of chronic pain. It gets all tangled up in our self conceptualization of being strong, resilient, resourceful, positive ppl 😂 and make us realize that all of that is not inherent if we stop fighting the sloth. So, yeah, I basically had to fall apart and reinvent myself and learn self compassion a trillion times 😂 and let go of those ego investments u speak of to be able to grow.
Going through this process. Often beating myself up just to break that attitude and be better. I have grown a habit of listening to other people's reasons despite not my values and beliefs then think and rethink it.
I’m also INFP w a Progressive chronic illness. Losing mobility took my health down & my hobby/natural medicine. Embracing my introversion helps me go within for a deeper insight & lust for life. Mentally & physically challenging myself through meditations & yoga has been a huge healthy coping tool. Wishing you peace & comfort ❤️
From my own personal experience, my identity crisis resulted in having to manage everyones different perceptions of me. How my family percieved me, how my close friends percieved me, how strangers, percieved and even how my own girlfriend percieved me. These different “personas” that i made myself play varied so differently that it resulted in me losing myself. The way i see my identity crisis is that my Ti demon was tired that I didnt have any consistency and truth about myself. Luckily i found your channell and found a basis of who I am and y i act the way I do, and im glad to say my Te inferior improved greatly from it.
"my Ti demon was tired that I didnt have any consistency and truth about myself" - hits hard and so accurate everytime I read this.
very well said
As an INFP on a journey of growth and seeking the hidden truth about everything in life, I love this kind of deep talk man ty!
Yip its called putting all your eggs in one basket. So if you drop the basket you have smashed all your eggs. As infp l learned the hard way years ago not to do this in life. Im acutely aware when my heart and mind are wandering into this, so I pull myself back and I have found that getting busy doing practical hands on stuff is the antidote, even if its lending someone in need a hand.
Lol I mistyped myself as INTJ for years. Recently realized I got it all wrong and I'm INFP
"death is on the table" 24/7 but consciousness is also on the table, as well as the eventual perception that dying creates more problems than it solves. for myself, my identity is rooted in being creative, it is the centre to which all else is made manifest. i think infps need a plethora of outlets with which they can express their initiatives. there are strong connections between schizophrenia and extroverted intuition without a healthy ego to stay grounding ourselves we are at risk of getting lost within the endless identities that make up the collective unconscious.
What a relief when I realized I'm an ENTP and not an INFP, after thinking so for 8 years (my most common conflicts in my marriage with my INFJ matching exactly what your INFJ-ENTP relationship video helped turn the lightbulb on.) I think it wasn't the hardest switch for me because of Fi trickster: "Oh, I should value this instead of that? Okay!" And it also got me out of the Fi trickster trap of getting stuck when asking what I value.
Now I'm forcing myself to experiment with trying new things, learning what I can from them, and moving on to the next thing instead of investing in some narrative about myself and what I value, so honestly I was quite relieved when I came to the realization. I also read the book Range because of your recommendation to INTPs, so that was a very helpful read, too.
I can imagine that being wrong about your type when you're an Fi hero would be a much more painful process than what I experienced.
My ISTP boyfriend repeatedly told me that there were always others suffering more than me. Oh boy did it hurt so fucken badly. Not feeling validated, or loved, or heard. I told him for many miserable months to listen to me, to shut up, and it made us both a mess. What should an INFP do when confronted with soul-crushing truths? Humble yourself, and listen. Ever been homeless? Not have access to your bank? Ever been to war? That's true pain if you ask me. You have the choice to not be your thoughts. If other Infps like myself understood the feeling of taking responsibility into their own hands, then the U.S. and Canada would not be dealing with a power struggle with the left if you know what I mean.
the person in the background laying faced down lol
You mean The ongoing identity crisis I have had since childhood
Lol 💜
"their investment becomes a piece of their identify." 100 percent.
I'm surprised so many infps would turn negatively to you. I think you are doing good work man, keep it up!
Hi, Chase!! I'm very, very, very grateful you made this particular lecture. I had been going through the WORST time of my entire life this last year and I basically was heading straight towards either never, ever doing anything again or suicide. I actually hadn't made up my mind yet when I decided to re-watch this today and then you talked specifically about the issues I have been struggling with. I'm a 47 year old woman who essentially cannot even hold onto to ANY ego investments. It seemed as if I would try to get invested in something but immediately started finding ways to tear down any potential plan or idea with my Ti demon and it was honestly SO VERY SAD and depressing I did not want to exist any longer. I just cannot find anything "true" or "worthy" about myself, if that makes sense? And I really wanted to, of course. But just watching you talk about these things was such a relief to hear:) I know I still have work to do as far as trying to define myself, but now I know I'm not all by myself either, lol. I'm just very grateful you are out there discussing these things in great detail. You really did me a service today and I just wanted you to know that. THANK YOU ALWAYS.
Normally I love you for the videos you do. The identity problem is especially known to the 4-infp ennegagram and other types. Generally, people who have had a relationship with naricism also feel that their identity has been destroyed. We, as INFP 4w5 or 4w3, feel a constant lack of our identity throughout our lives. It's just like C.S said it's horrible, let's add super laziness to it and it's no wonder that at the end of this path the INFP only sees death, because they don't even have each other (i mean we don't have selfs).
INFPs also appear to be the most committed suicide of all types. That's why I am so terribly thankful that C.S Joseph helps - us INFP so much.
Personally, as infp-A 4w5, it helped me in the identity crisis that I had to accept myself, love myself as a whole, and re-create borders. As an infp who had a gigantic identity problem and I am to blame for everything described here except for some sexual assault, I know there is a way out of it.
For me, when I get lost, I come back to the objectivity of "te" and the use of "reason". It helps immediately.
Another trick that helped me was accepting that maybe I don't have an identity and never will and using "acceptance" as way to live. Action is also helpful, because in this you will find yourself.
Your private philosophy is an individual matter but i highly recommend to check holes in it.
The most important thing for INFP is to accept and love yourself and to create boundries. This is the golden trinity.
There are other weaknesses that I have overcome as an infp, such as not worrying about what other people think of me but too long to write about it. I mention it to give you hope - it is possible!
I could describe a lot here, but it would be a book.
With great respect and I would like to hug you C.S.Joseph, because at least someone tries to understand us and does not see us only as a failure.
Best regards from Poland.
I couldn’t agree more and thanks for sharing! Finding other INFPs that have come to very similar understandings is so self-affirming and it’s comforting to feel less alone in the world.
@@alisonfisher1877 No problem :-)
@@alisonfisher1877 I think the problem is that we often don't understand ourselves. We try to find ourselves and live in our private philosophy / dreamland.
As an additional motivation, I would like to add that it is really possible to be healthy much more than avarage person, but it's damn heavy, it's the hardest thing you will do, which is getting yourself together. And the constant struggle with our pursuit of comfort does not help at all.
I have written more than once, the key is also to study the superego.
Developing objective thinking, reason and remembering our demon Ti.
If you do your job, you will understand that we as infp are not so hopeless, but you will be amazed at yourself if you will do the work and how you are in general awesome, despite your flaws.
Unfortunately your old "I" must die with your weak philosophy - be reborn and create a new one that will serve all.
@@haihai5293 Yep yep, I feel all of that. I’ve done a lot of work on myself, and continue to do so, ever since I came out of my sleep-walking stupor. I don’t ever see myself reaching a finish line or conclusion, the process matters more than any sort of ambiguous result. We INFPs want to be known and understood and yet remain the quirky mysterious person of intrigue in peoples lives. Talk about cognitive dissonance. I’m still trying to accept that my lot in life is a lonely one even in a committed relationship, but I believe becoming completely self-reliant in every sense is how I can be of most benefit and that’s a return on an investment that keeps on giving. 😊
Understand where you're coming from. I had a hard time understanding my relationship with "narcissists" was entirely my own fault and making. Convinced myself that all behavior was a justified reaction. I still have a hard time with that.
It' becomes a hard reality to know the opportunity to change reality has come and gone multiple times.
Keep up the lectures!
From my personal experiences and knowledge, when a person is at their lowest (not just financially but in character, attitude, etc., etc.,) this is when they are toxic and begin to project their blame, envy, and problems onto others. Especially if they secretly compare their selves to you. An INFP at their lowest transitions into a covert narcissist.
INFP living in Mississippi. I am slothful because I believe most people are stupid. I have not been approached and spoken to by anyone in years. It's a very anti-social hierarchically institutionalized society. I post questionable things on social media that people may take offense to or not understand. I very much feel it is a way to initiate a feeling of authority, or 'chip away at the status quo' as I like to think of it. It seems to be one of the few options available at present until I am able to move to a city. Every third or fourth day I'll venture out as a sort of itinerant risk taker, but it's almost as if, when strangers are around, though I've read voraciously of classics, history, and academia, I cannot find words to say to them except courtesy. THere is a sort of unwritten proscription here of expressing anything intuitive, so I have to make it all about gestures surrounding my mystery.
What you said about suicide is very true. I have suffered two severe episodes and been diag osed with multiple mental health disorders but never knew that most of it had to do with me being an infp. I am the most overly sensitive person and my emotions have caused pain for others and loss because i could not regulate it. I still have my days where i go to that lowest point but i dont think its avoidable. Most of my best poems come from when im there in the darkness and am nkw learning to come to terms with it rather than being ashamed of it. I cry a lot....but i have learnt to laugh too 😊 most tear jerking mind blown ep ive seen so far and def a lot too process.
The ego of the INFP and INTP is like a dragon it will have to be slain by a knight (rock bottom). However this will be great for them/us. We can’t get our philosophers stone without sacrifice. So “just do it” - shia labeouf
I relate to all this. 3 years post identity death and I’m still not feeling recovered. Not really sure where the distinction lies between using your dominant function and navigating with Values and an unhealthy ego investment. The problem as I saw it in the rear view was that I had the wrong values and projected fantasy to avoid the truth so long that I built my life around idealistic lies. I had formed my values around my base hedonistic desires and emotional impulses instead of using values to reign in my desires and guide action. My recovery has involved returning to philosophy and theology and using it to understand the flaws in my ideas formed in emotional immaturity. For me, it’s always been hard to do anything I don’t feel like, and my shifting emotional state has always had too much influence on my life. I built a life philosophy to enable me Feel right about acting on emotional and hedonistic impulses.
15 years ago when I was with my ex. I kept testing myself as an infp. I have dabbled with various types. I was even typed by twfp who typed me esfp. But deep down I was lying to myself & those around me. I thought I was doom to failure because life socially has always been a struggle.
I did not want to be me because I was rejected so much thoughout my life. Now I realize lying to myself & being someone I’m not is what’s causing me suffering. I don’t care whether if people accept me. I just want to be me. ❤❤❤❤
I go through this same shit but my te is strong enough. Thank god .
Firstly CSJ, thank you.
INFP here, who has experienced a identity crisis, at least twice now.
I had the first one just prior to a introduction to sobriety, a beyond chaotic time in my life, where my personal safety and sanity came into question.
I was far away from everything and everyone in every way.
From my heart I appreciate every time you tell the truth to us.
Acceptance is the key, but discipline is the door.
Once a INFP opens that door, you get the Robert Greens of the world.
A profoundly human individual.
I think INFPs have a difficult time being honest with themselves, especially on tests like 16personalities which put a positive spin on all the types. When I was in college doing a math and physics degree (around 2010), I tested as an INTP. I wanted to imagine myself as a logical being. When I redid the test in 2020 I scored INFJ (with J/P close to 50/50). I've done the test three other times since then, and it's always been INFP, and the trend has only become clearer as I've matured and been able to be more honest with myself. The final confirmation was my discovery of your TH-cam channel, precisely because you talk about the weaknesses.
For instance, I never could explain what my inner monologue was until I learned what Ti Demon was.
Edit: You're also correct about how dangerous and life-threatening identity loss is as well. The positive side of it is that if we make it out of the dark stages, we're much stronger for it afterwards.
I’m so grateful for this channel, your work, and your straightforward honesty because I believe you have the best intentions and I get so much out of it.
I guess I was lucky in a sense that my ego identity was always being challenged and disrespected from a very young age. It was extremely painful and confusing until I was able to actually grow the fuck up later in my adult life and build some identity to my own conscious choosing. Now I’m always looking for cracks or flaws in how I think and act, just as you explained. Because of my past experiences and the realization of the benefit and joy I get from improving and becoming all the more resilient, I appreciate anyone or thing that helps me see where those improvements need to happen. I’m able to laugh at myself and get to work rather than become immobilized.
Thank you Chase, for continuing to drop epiphanies that allow me to understand myself more holistically and become the better person I’m always striving to be. Cheers.
Wow….thank you C.S. Joseph
I have a friend who I suspect is an infp(or an isfp) and he almost tried to commit suicide
He had a tough childhood growing up
There was one time where he unleashed his ti demon on me and my group of friends when he wanted to confess his bottled up emotions as a result….of various fights we had in the past
He immediately regretted it after that and felt as though some of us still hate him to this day.
Also found out couple of months ago that he was diagnosed with BPD.
He is doing better now but I always see this sadness in his eyes
How do you know what I'll be doing when I retire my current lifestyle? 🤔☠️😏😂
Great video CS Joseph 👍 Dear INFP folks - he's telling the bland truth.
Comes from the INFP who is dangerously close to INTP and consciously wants to develop ISTP side. Still I can't 100% let go my idealistic thoughtforms. It's 98% of the 'let it be' and back to the square one. I'm trying to shed them slowly one at a time.
I've experienced an identity crisis when I was in my ENTJ shadow. I gotta say, it was one of the worst experiences of my life, it felt like everything was fake, my contributions were meaningless and forged from greed. This experience makes me feel so damn grateful for being mentally sane and being a Ti user, if it's ever hard to accept myself, I remember that day and remind myself of all that I have that could seemingly disappear at any moment of time.
*I'm in my 20s and want to go on this "journey" thing. Hope it goes well enough that I actually survive it!*
Same lol
20s can be rough....but you'll survive. That's why 30 y.os are more mature. They've been through some things (namely their 20s 😋)... Its just life.
Same bro/sis
It's interesting hearing this bc I vividly remember calling a friend while walking my dogs and talking about my low self confidence issues and how I feel this need to supress my confidentiality because it would fill my ego too much and idk I guess subconsciously knew that it was a territory that I would be very volatile in. That wad a few years ago before I started deep diving into these archetypes. Like I knew I kept getting INFP but besides noticing looks of pitty and disappointment on my INTJ teacher, I didn't know how deep this shit went. Fast forward to now where I have been on and off trying to find a therapist for a good two years with no luck (tho emphasis on the on and off. I got really bad phone anxiety and getting told "we don't carry your insurance" or "we're not taking anyone at this moment", plus setting up my own appointments being an adulting skill I struggle with just kind reinforces the anxiety. Getting out my comfort zone, but not getting results and getting really put off by it to rhe point where I take a couple weeks-couple months break from my next attempt), and now I'm deep diving into this type of stuff so see if there's any thing I can use this for helping myself in the mean time. Wow that was a long winded rant that almost had a point lol. I'll leave it up tho for shits and giggles. Maybe other infps will relate, maybe not 🤣😅
i do not think i am infj, and i can tell ya i never saw u as evil or wrong and stuff. I had my crisis 4 years ago ( 21 ) and yeah switched from lazy to opposite; i felt i was losing a part of me, become more "shallow" (cuz my shadow is extroverted), but in the end i accepted it cuz in life you cannot always be deep and have people apprecciate it, you have to learn social behaviour; maybe sometimes i even went too far (nothing too much, just overdoing and seeming a clown needing attentino), but right now thanks to people (also another ENTP) i ask how people see me and i say thanks when people tell me the truth. I always knew i was guillable cuz when i was a kid i believed everything ( also had an ENTP dad), i will always be honest at least about how few i know shit about stuff so maybe i can learn more. I think the zen is to balance it, what i am trying to do. I also asked myself if it would be better to be happy without knowing the truth or sad but knowing it; and my answer is to suffer from it but learning from it; i am so fucking scared of people telling me lies to make me feel good, i never asked for it, i know i can take the hits, so NFJ's out there please don't lie to make us feel good.
LOL, IDK who are the people you misdirected in the past, but you surely have made my life better (or at least I am feeling like it). (And I pretty sure many people also gain the benefit of your content).
Thank you Chase.
It is my Fe want you to feel better about yourself and my Ti want to telling the truth at the same time.
Interesting one.. I dont feel that shattered about my ego investments crushed but probably because I'm young and didnt build that much of my life around a "lie". Latest biggest crush of my ego investment was finding out that my parents dont love me or at least not in a healthy sense and that I'm rather part of their trauma survival strategy. For your channel, it took me some days to decide wether or not you are a "good" person. In regards of "knowing" the truth, I know to shock a lot of people (esp. Ti child / inferiors) when I pack out my belief systems 😂💀
I was having an existential crisis when i discovered i was an infp and everything made a terrible wonderful kind of sense 😊
That sucks lmao. No wonder it's hard to let go of things. Then you put money into whatever it is and spend money into fixing whatever problem there is but it still doesn't fix anything. It's a mess....
I really don't understand how you'd confuse the infj or infp? When I was introduced into mbti I always got infp. And maybe because my enfj brother explained what it was.
Thanks for the video Chase!
Much appreciated!
Edited( I don't think I was ever disgusted by you Chase, I have always thought maybe you were possibly disgusted by me.) But I was raised by a crusader. 🤷
In response to the title of this vid, as an INFP, I have 3 channels for that:
This one; Höly dating advice; cat lady & friend zoned
Hello sir Joseph! I love your work. Specially the Sacred Gender/ Mature Masculine. It was such a wake up call for me to man up. NGL the first video i watched i thought you are mean. But as I watched more, you are really wise and kind. thank youu
I understand what you mean by the ego investments. Yeah until now I still have an ego investment with identifying as an INFP. I would like people around me to understand that because I have been living on what other people think I should be. The burden of expectations have been tiring.
A depraved ENFP identity crisis is very similar.
I gave you all I own, put you on this golden throne, but I'm a little stronger now
Thanks for the insights and the video. And as usual, thanks for understanding.
I have noticed that there are recurring dynamics in the extended relationships between the different types.
For example, In my experience, if an INxJ is in a relationship with an ISxP, and an ENxP is a friend of both, there is a risk that the ENP, if immature and in its demon, could have derisive and devaluing inclinations towards the INxJ, because he sees him as a rival and has no intention of accepting what he is (Si), so his self will push him to compete with the INxJ.
In all of this, ISxPs might appreciate it, because their Ni baby is envious of INxJ's hidden potential and mysteriousness and their ability to perform, and they hate the hatred that their partner INxJ obscures them from making them. others note the qualities and beauty of the ISxP.The INxJ could in his demon that drags him into laziness, passivity and uncertainty.
‘Tis a good dude, man
As soon as im not broke, and I remember ,I’m giving you monies.
I guess I am going through this. And yes when you told that sentence about 'death'.
I'm scared...
Is there any solution?
Not like I can talk to anyone idk how to say all these stuffs to anyone...
I feel frustrated seeing everyone around me just sad and messed up bcuz of me
INFP(?): I have C-PTSD and have gone all in sloth after long periods of mindless initiative. Words stopped making sense to me at one point, which is tantamount to having no ethics. Then I stagnated physically. As a cult abuse survivor, I'm lucky that I'm not a man and so avoided becoming a rapist💀. I know that's so not funny💀💀but it IS funny☠. I think INFPs have to invest more in morals to compensate for the identity-crisis-related lack of ethics, which I agree makes us dangerous to ourselves and others, depending. There's a point where there are no ethics and an INFP's morals may be up in the air. INFPs are especially at risk for suicide at these times. The rapist thing, though, I don't think that's a specifically INFP thing, and I'm not claiming moral purity or superiority for INFPs, which is bullshit. The rapists I have known were primarily Se doms (due to impulsivity?) but also a Si dom (now deceased) as well as other types, especially under the influence.
CS Lewis knew!!!
Infp here and I haven't even started the video but I know you're going to be disrespectful again and the truth is going to hurt so good. Smh
I really like the outdoor urban videos
I like when he has very short, but not buzzed hair, and more of a 5 o'clock shadow, as opposed to a beard. Like back in many of his white board videos.
The beard and mohawk especially, are not a good look. He's actually a handsome guy.
But obviously he couldn't care less about what anyone thinks of him or how he looks or what he says or the way he says it, or if it's dark outside or if the audio is bad due to high winds, etc etc. As an INFP, I absolutely would care. I'd want everything to be as perfect as it could be - or it's not worth doing at all - and that's a problem. I'm working on it. I envy ENTPs in this way.
I'm currently reading No More Mr. Nice Guy, which he recommended, and I am super focused on making the changes that will help me get past my toxic shame. Maybe the most important book I've ever read.
So now the question is "how to discover truth as INFP?"
Surround yourself with Ti users-preferably Ti inferior. Also, don’t believe everything people tell you or everything you think. We’re prone to deluding ourselves.
@@ANoteToSelf Why should we preferably surround ourselves withTi inferior types ? I am very curious
@@melimelo8334 "With inferior Ti, I can find it really hard to justify my opinions."
You have beem very accurate.
What do you recommend for an INFP who isn't sure if I am one and could be an INFJ but watched the INFP VS INFJ video and still doesn't have clarity because I related to INFJ and INFP statements made in the video? Oh, and I got INFP in your test and I've never shat on you, I love your fiery sword of truth lol.
Check his others videos and check your fears.
@@dasein9980 I agree with this
@@dasein9980 I agree
Funny how it wasn't a source of elation for you when you realised you'd finally figured out your type. I discovered mbti at 11 and didn't realise until I was 22 what my true type was.
What's the difference between a healthy INFP and an INFP with an inferiority complex? Because the descriptions on inferiority complex read a lot like a typical INFP-description
I went through this last 2020. And its super distressing.
I read book from Buddhist author and it was all about detaching yourself from all beliefs. even thinking about it just felt horrible to me, how can anyone achieve this state? I know I put a lot of faith in my beliefs, I pray i won't become a victim to them.
If you have beliefs you are a victim of them and a product of them by definition.
Why believe when you can know.
Belief is delusion if unverified with primary experience.
You are in hell. Want to get to heaven, point b? First you have to admit where point a is.
You feel horrible because you are attached. The identification with your phenomenon is where the suffering comes from.
How to achieve it? Practice and be truly honest with yourself. Stop hiding.
The enlightened one could achieve this state. It's high quality mind state of serenity, tranquility and equanimity.
Pure bliss and free from all turmoil, prejudice, and delusion produced by his/her thought and feeling.
One must understand the true nature of his/her existence, not even confused by it.
@@celticdeamon567 it’s impossible to know everything, but for some things you have to act in accordance as if you do know. That is called faith and there is nothing wrong with having some. It’s also very possible to have beliefs without attachment to them. When your beliefs are about yourself, that’s a little more complicated and just giving some cold, formulaic diatribe as advice isn’t very helpful, at least not for INFPs.
@@alisonfisher1877 we live in a dualism. Everything/ nothing
Black/ white
Pain/ pleasure
Ignorance/ awareness
These are all natural pairings from nature itself. To know everything you must understand that nothing is not so everything must be.
I have a formula that works.
If yours requires belief then yours doesn't work. It's that simple.
I am not dogma. My truth is spontaneous. You just don't understand.
And no.. it's by definition NOT POSSIBLE to have beliefs without believing in them. You don't have awareness of what you are saying.
What you call faith here is what bhuddists would call delusion.
If you're gonna delude yourself at least be honest about it and do it on purpose. But that's not what you're saying either.
Frank James must have quite the ego investment
yep. Did he stop saying that he's an infp?
@@mazu4526 he still believes he is INFJ
That's gonna hurt
his channel brand especially, Te inferiors gotta be a problem.
Doesn't that mean Frank will be completely broken when he finally finds out the hard way that he is living his life pretending to be someone he is not? I wonder if that will happen when his brand loses its luster or, for example, a relationship with someone makes both him and the other person realize that he is not what his image shows who he is. Hope Frank can endure the incoming crisis then...
Idk
Infp vs infj and etc

Will edit later
Why am I like this….i hate myself so much🙄
What if one day I realize that all this typology was a big lie? I know that you say this is the truth, but when many people around you do not take these words seriously. And even one of my family members believes that I have been brainwashed by you. And I can talk to very few people about it, what should I do? While I myself know how much knowing these stuff has helped me. I remember you said that infp should express their beliefs to avoid the risk of being ignorant, but what happens when people exactly challenge what you learned from typology?
Easy, firstly prove it to them with stacks of an irrefutable evidence. The truth must prevail regardless of what the majorities believe in.
Second, if this really the truth, then you must able to predict the future phenomenon using the knowledge of this system.
-intp ways
Figure out how to educate them about it more to see that it is a valid subject. Something doesn’t have to be “scientific” to be valid or useful. Express how much it helps you, and offer some good academic sources that explain what mbti is and what it isn’t. Or stop sharing with them and find others that will hear you. Don’t let others’ ignorance put you off your path. If it works for you, that’s good enough as long as you’re being responsible with your knowledge. Hope this helps on your way to figuring it out.
As INFP, I never do this to any cc. Omg. I feel sorry for you. Those INFP really went madness. That's not nice at all. People can make their opinions. I meet INTPs at school. My sister is INFJ. Ti is logical mindset. It sounds intimidating but there's something in it. That's right contemplating to processing it. But talk shit to cc like is not right. That's true critical judgement can cause Fi as savior/hero shattered. Still not like the resentful part. Are you really entp or estj? 😂 I remember old boss estj hate me raise complains and asking too much questions. 😌 Jk.
Thankj you sir
How does one know if its a value/need or an unhealthy ego investment? Are all ego investments unhealthy? Can someone give an exemple of a healthy ego investment
Expose it to critics
@@CSJoseph so for infp it would be ni critic you mean?
Why do you say Ron Paul is a sell out? If you're talking about Rand's dad I've always taken him as an ENFJ.
He’s INFp
Why do you think there is something called truth? Can you be 100% objective?
With logic. If you tell me absolute truth does not exist then I would ask you if it’s a true statement. If you say yes, we agree. If you say no, then you cancel out your own previous statement and absolute truth still exists.
@@CSJosephOk, you answered the first part of my question. Can you also answer the second question with logic?
There is no truth.
There is only perception.
“Ego investment”
CSJ why do you keep talking about yourself in videos on other types? We are here for INFPs not ENTPs.
Can you make vedios on Vedic astrology and karma theory and aham (I),
Love your work on personality types.
🤣
What is aham

Ron Paul a sellout? 🤔Why?
he cannot stand us as infp's 😄😄😄 we are literally a burden to anyone around us
No youre not, its the same limiting belief as "if this woman rejects me others will too"
Appreciate all types and be exposed to your compatible ones, i love INFPs the most fr. -ENFJ

Sometimes I think Chase is the only one who loves us, by that I mean all the parts that make us up as individuals. I keep it reserved to only a fleeting thought so as to not become a homicidal maniac though, 😂 j/k.
Interesting until you got to the imcel clown show.
I thought you typed Robert F Kennedy as an enfp?

This man sounds narcissistic….
I bet you call all accurate people narcissistic.
@@CSJoseph no, just depends on how they deliver the accuracy. I don’t use the term loosely
