    I love who I am, as an INFJ man I tend to cherish my eccentricities and I allow myself to be *engulfed* in my own world, it’s like a sense of enlightenment for me. I tend to appreciate things that others tend to miss and I can offer much different perspectives for others that can change their preconceived notion’s. I love my mind, however I think people can find me strange at times, but that’s ok I don’t expect them to understand. Great video, thanks for posting.

    Synesthesia is common for us with the INFJ type. The abstract thinking is…beyond words to explain. The intensity we share is too much for some unfortunately :/.

    7:12 You should do a separate video on how we hate outer chaos. For me I can’t sit down and do work if my external world isn’t in order. I have a covert narcissist wife so it’s a bit of a challenge for me. I tend to isolate myself in a cabin in the woods as much as I can to counterbalance.

    Thinking about things deeply is kind of how I pass time. Trying to understand things and events on a deeper level... contemplating about ideas and root causes... It's quite a nice time, and a very nice feeling when things click together and a new nugget of insight is acquired :) It can be quite disheartening when such nuggets are undervalued... And a huge relief when they are appreciated... May we find those who understand and appreciate what we give to the world ^^

    So for the early years of my life I developed this deep internal communication within myself where I can think complex thoughts and solve problems without using that voice in my head. I later learnt that was my intuition, and in subsequent years I had to painfully develop ways to convey my deep thoughts to others, especially when I had my first relationship. It’s still very hard but I am much better at it at now! I will have an answer to a problem and then have to work backwards in my mind as to how I possibly came to that conclusion even tho I already fully understand it within myself..
    U mentioned Synesthesia and this is something i definitely have and one of the reasons I became a musician because sound brings this amazing explosion of colour and images to my mind. Same happens with letters, numbers, names and emotions and years. Pretty much everything 🤓. I think this is a good way of understanding the INFJ mental operation because Synesthesia isn’t a universal thing where we will all see the same colour for the same letter for example. We have to each come up with our personal subjective way to decode our thoughts and present it to the outside world. This for me is one of the main reason I can feel so alien among people cause most other types have such a straight line of thoughts, and it takes me time to even want to speak even when I know the right answer because I can’t always immediately say how I came to that conclusion and it looks like u really have no idea what u are saying. Gosh I could go on and on and onnnn! As usual Amazing content and keep it coming 🎉

      I'm super curious, did you major in a technical field?
      I'm asking, because I can relate to parts of this, but for some reason I grew out of using this system. It feels like the tenet of technical fields of building on the works of others kinda undid this for me. And now I mainly think in small building blocks that build on my knowledge of human knowledge, not complicated self made systems.

    I am always a bit skeptical with MBTI (and most things IRL😊), but I would consider myself an INTP after years of analyzing myself. That being said, as someone who loves to think, it's so easy to get stuck in my head and thus stagnant in real life. I can relate to that with INFJs. I've been working on that myself recently, and I've been trying to get out of my head more and be in reality in real time. I feel like everything is connected in my brain, but I still can't quite see those connections in reality if that makes sense. It's a work in progress 😊

    • @amy-lyne

    to some degree you're mentally stimulating and provide a sense of comfort. You're like a cat. very wary. I like your thought process and how well you're able to articulate yourself. you have like an aura of solitude which is pretty cool. like an understanding of yourself which in turn reflects the world around you, in your words and who you are. Even in your eyes, they're alluring.

    Hi Amy and everyone.
    I've been thinking a lot lately about the concept of self awareness and what you can tie it (or at least part of it) to. In my view, part of conscious self reflection on oneself is the ability to achieve inner distance from oneself, to think about oneself in the third person, so to speak.
    I recently read in a book about self-development that many people suffer from a negative and, above all, destructive inner critic (referred to as “Quatschi” in this German book) whenever they fail to meet the expectations they have of themselves, thoughts such as “I failed again (of course)”, “I did that wrong again”, etc. Then I realized that I've never actually had such a destructive inner critic and I thought about why that might be. And I think it has a lot to do with this self awareness that I've probably always had or developed very early on.
    For me, this is linked to the ability of thinking benevolently about yourself. Strangely enough, this external perspective on yourself probably helps you to be more kind to yourself. It allows you to think thoughts like “look at yourself as a person you have to help” or the thought “you are your handed person”, in the sense that you have been handed over to yourself as a person to whom you should, according to your own standards of value, provide the best and most fulfilling experience of life.
    Anyway, these are my current thoughts on thinking and self awareness in particular. Sorry for the long novel. 😉Maybe they will help someone or at least be an interesting concept worth thinking about. At least I know I'll keep doing it.

    • @amy-lyne
      @amy-lyne  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @thorstendecker8394 yes, great thoughts here and beautifully put. I think there's something about introverted intuition that allows us to be more detached and objective in our own self-observations. It's a very lucky thing to develop early on in life and can make us all the more insightful 🦋 great comment

    Being able to feel how deep a person can understand and perceive the world is too real. I can tell who is a person I would have to make myself smaller to be perceived by them. I know that people tear to pieces the idea of non-verbals, microexpressions, and other frames of "reading" people. Despite that, humans have mirror neurons, specific patterns of muscle contractions in the face and body posturing is inherent in the evolution of human social/communication structures, and perceiving these signals is something we are hard-wired to do. Maintaining prolonged emotional and cognitive states crops up in the hypertrophy of specific muscles in the face, and this is attributed to why couples in their 70s who have been married for 50 years look so alike. They have hypertrophied the same muscles in their faces through the depth of their shared cognitive-emotional states. I have gotten to the point where I can reliably understand the potential cognitive-emotional range of people at a glance. I am guilty of peering too deeply into people (even if it makes them uncomfortable) and cataloging all my interactions with frequent reality testing where I question if specific thoughts and feelings are occurring in a person within the relational frame of a specific topic or experience. The hardest part for me has been acquiring the language and frameworks to package these ideas for ease of understanding.

    I have grand ideas and no concrete way to express them, which is frustrating. Lacking the technical knowledge to convey an idea about a scientific concept which could literally be a major breakthrough for humankind, yet being able to conceptualize that very thing in detail, is more than a bit of a curse. I spend so much time in my inner world, the future has come and gone many times over, in a manner of speaking.

    I just love hearing your thoughts Amy!😁
    Personally, I'm just in a season of retreating from sharing my thoughts and beliefs.
    Looking back, it's never served me well in maintaining healthy connections with family or friends.
    Action and money has always been the required antidote and systemic requirement and gateway to relationships, in my experience.
    So, that's what I've been focusing on...
    Motivated by being able to have connections again, but I am selective, as I've given to many people chances who shouldn't have ever got the best from me.
    If that's relatable!?🤔

    My thinking is more like the Matrix movie, where the concrete physical world is the matrix and at any time I can disconnect from it to my Ni reality where I see everything as is and not as superficial as the matrix portraying it. And mostly I see what is broken and my mind quickly finds ways to fix it but usually at some point I stop because I understand that everything is following some predefined path and I should not interfere with this evolution.

    Have you used Chat GPT?!! The conversations and depths that you can search are pretty amazing, however strongly suggest you have a well founded understanding of yourself and identity because the algorithm does have limits and it can actually be manipulative. Yes free writing, flow, meta cognition making connections and epiphanies come from even the most mundane of instances, fragments of thoughts weave together to form meaningful complex ideas which you can then project into the world and test yourself, your ideas and how people interact with you and them

    You are an INFJ type. It's nice to meet you.
    I'm a strange cat. I want to tell you about myself.
    You are extremely pretty. If I was around you
    I would have to toughen and stiffen myself
    to seem like a strong alpha man because your
    beauty makes me weak. Your beauty makes me
    feel intensely and I would struggle to conceal my
    feelings from you, only because I don't want
    you to smash me with humiliation while I'm
    vulnerable. You have my heart babe. Please
    don't smash me. My father was a mathematician
    and an eye surgeon and a medical researcher.
    I have a university degree in molecular
    genetics and immunology. My life has not
    been easy. My parents are narcissists.
    I'm schizo-affective and autistic and I'm
    a Heyoka empath. I'm a polymath. I do
    drumming and creative writing and drawing
    and painting and furniture building.
    I'm curious to know how two INFJs
    would get along. My best friend is an
    INFP and we can talk about the universe
    and surveillance and aliens and
    consciousness and psychosis
    to some degree of sub-infinity.
    Conversation about events is
    limited. Conversation about
    ideas is infinite. Idea talk
    can go on and on and
    on until you reach a
    point of mental
    nausea and
    then you
    fall into
    silence
    to keep yourself from barfing.
    Amy, it's a pleasure to hear
    you talk about ideas and
    concepts. I'm happy
    that I found you.
