A lot of people get insanely jealous of the INFP's authenticity, optimism n penchant for not caring about what others think of them with regards to their lifestyle 😂😂😂 An INFP could be strolling down the street, shopping at a supermarket, sitting at the doctor's waiting room in other words just minding their own business n all of a sudden certain people around them start getting triggered n say something belittling. Continue to SHINE BRIGHT, INFPs!! Let ur light blind the eyes of those pathetic miserable jealous people u bump into every day!!😊😊😊😊😊😊
@MangoLime1 That's mostly for young infps. Like any person, they have to debelop over the years, too. Some people get stuck (regardless of personality type), like they forget to finish the tutorial quest and move on to do side quests without noticing that main quests for they specific type exist. Some figure this out early enough, many people never.
It's good to know that I'm not the only one who has a hell of a time making eye contact. Doesn't matter if I'm feeling secure and confident, or feeling terrible about myself. It's a struggle and I lose focus on what the other person is saying. This sucks, because it makes me look weak.
Yep, can confirm. I can make eye contact with people, but it just feels wrong. It's too intense, and it makes it sort of difficult to pay attention to what the other person is saying (like you mention)
The last one really hit home. It happened a lot in school. They are bullying me all the time and when I finally defend myself and say mean things to them back, all hell break loose and I end up being the evil one like wth?
Yep. Not only does the bully try to flip it around on you but you get gaslit by everyone else around you. Don't pay that any mind. You keep standing up for yourself. You deserve respect just like everybody else does.
Next time if anyone makes fun of you and you didn’t like the so called hurtful joke they told .then tell them honestly! Like this “i know you are joking but please just look at my face 😂 am i enjoying it!! Is it hurting me ? Then you know what ,that’s not a joke .its called bullying or hurting others in the name of joke ! Lol!!! “ say this!

I took another test and really considered each questions, being as honest and self reflective as I could be. I got exactly the same answer.
This is so real. Every few months or so I think, Im gonna make the test again, but this time with my real and honest answers. I have the feeling that I fill it in completely different but everytime the result stays INFP-T.
Literally everything in this video makes sense. I'm that random person looking up in the sky taking random pictures of trees or animals, picking flower weeds, earthy toned clothing or black (based definitely on what mood I'm in or anything that reflects the hobby which is art) and really love deep conversations and genuine interactions. I thought I was weird and an alien 'cause I really don't fit in but really being an INFP really made me realize I just function that way.

I love eye contact, I just find it very intimate. When I make it I can often just stop talking or thinking about what I want to say and become focused on the soul behind the eyes. That's an awesome feeling with someone I'm intimate with, especially when they're looking back into mine. But... it's a bit too much for casual or friendly conversation. 😆
@paulmcdonagh415 this is great advice. thank you for the reminder @mickicerise6250 same! making direct eye contact feels like the highest level of intimacy possible, short of kissing them 😳
@@jarmoliebrand2005 People want to be known, but they are scared to be vulnerable, so as an empathic individual who likes to listen to others and make them feel heard look them in the eyes and smile when they look back. Make them feel seen. If you would help a stranger or a friend in times of need then remember that our society is an emotional desert and we can be the emotional oasis in that desert. We can give them our attention and send them on their way with a smile on their lips and a song in their hearts. That's what we offer so give them the gift of being seen as you are already giving them the gift of being listened to. It is quiet and unassuming work we do but it's important.
This is EXACTLY why I “stopped” making direct eye contact with people in the past. People would often reflect to me, “it feels like you’re gazing right into my soul…” which I LOVE doing! I want to witness the soul behind the eyes, as you put it, and really take them in, but I felt like that may have been making people uncomfortable, lol. Now, I don’t mind so much if it’s making people a little uncomfortable to be seen, because it’s just who I am and the energy I bring. That powerful gaze can be a real gift with people who want to be seen by you. I try to make my gaze soft with strangers and acquaintances and not so penetrating, though, lol.
When I'm talking directly with someone I like to look them in the eyes and I like them to look at my eyes too. I feel uncomfortable when they're looking somewhere else. But if I'm just greeting someone out of courtesy or saying "thank you" to a cashier or anyone who's giving me a service I tend not to look them in the eyes 😂 Actually, I'm bad at remembering people faces if I didn't have a good conversation with them😅
I dress modest/earthy sometimes, but for the most part my style has always been eccentric, the more accessories-the better in my opinion. I love self expression through style and when I can’t self express through style, it feels like a part of me is missing. Any other INFPs like this?
i'm kind of mixed. for the majority of time i just put on random stuff on me and go out to conquer the world, primarily because it's extremely tiring for me and expensive to find clothes and fits that i like and are good. But when i manage to make a real outfit, it's always expressive and very personal
I only look people in the eye because my mother trained me to do so at an early age. But I also tend to look more at a person’s mouth if I feel intimidated by them.
I wonder if it is an INFP exclusive thing to always keep a random item from a moment in the past to cherish a memory? They develop a bond with an inanimate object, because it has a meaning for them, reminds them of a time they had fun with their friends and loved ones. Then somebody tries to throw such item in the garbage and we as infp get upset? I have stuff like pebbles from trips, tiny badges, soda cans, leaflets, sketches or words on a piece of paper. Not many people that I know of do this. Some find it weird, some completely understand.
@@Turmericc Uhhhhhh I dunno- I just always try to think on the positive side and try to see every good thing in everything/everyone I always try to do the right thing And Am Am nice :3 I give everyone a chance Uhhhhh And I also have wisdom sometimes 👍 :3
Child at heart & Old soul. Yes!! Do you know how great it is to have an inner child and an inner old lady?? “Wouldn’t you like another cookie?🥰” “Yes please!😍”
I've been undecided for ages if I was an INFP or an INTP. The tests are also "confused", as my F and T scores are balanced. This video clears things for me - I feel seen. 😌 Thank you
I always tested as Infp in my 20s briefly as Intp, but back to Infp. The thinking aspect may be the info deep dive point in life that enables to gain useful perspective later on.
Number 5 is actually so accurate, I always point out at things like the sky, the way the stars align, the way a cloud looks or even how close a plane is while going by. Why am I so weird?😂😂😂
I always go to the terrace of my house every evening to adore the sky. When I walk in road also I keep pointing the sky and says it's beautiful to my friend.
My brother came back from a vision quest, and it was one of the few times that I could look all the way to the back of his eyes, and see clear happiness. With most people, I see either dishonesty, mixed motives, or other bad things. I used to have happy conversations with old friends. They were honest people so that was fine.
Oh, that’s another great reason why it can be difficult for us INFP’s to make direct eye contact. People’s eyes do “pull us in” and we can see and feel and sense the inner world of the other person, and sometimes it can be painful to connect with another’s personal inner turmoil, like, woof. That’s beautiful that your brother had such happiness in his soul after the vision quest! I’m so happy for him.
Why is everything so accurate 😭 I really appreciate the night sky when walking my dog. I'd take pictures of the stars with my phone (even though it's barely visible) and uncontrollable laughing before telling a joke is too real. Also laughing at a joke even after everyone moved on ✋ It's so me. My friends would cast me weird looks because of it. Then there are just times where I'd dress up with a modest fashion sense in mind and at other times, I'd care less about how I look as long as I wore appropriate clothing. And about the bullies-it's quite true as well! Amazing observation, this video 🫶.
There are days where I will look people directly in the eyes to the point of overdoing it. Other days, I’ll speak without even looking in their direction (otherwise, just in their vicinity to be polite but not the eyes) because I’m so spaced out and don’t have the strength required to engage with the soul before me on such a deep level. I did notice that it became easier for me to look people in the eye after taking a theatre class where we were required to meet the eyes of our theatre partner for an uncomfortable full minute without breaking contact. After several of these exercises, it became easier and I was able to extrapolate that skill outside of the classroom.
@@dedmu5793I knoww, I’ve learned to control it though luckily. U know I’ve been so disappointed to hear that mbti is pseudoscience bc it has been quite accurate for me.
Huh, I was actually surprised for once, the giggle-proneness was unexpected and veeery true for me. I, however, don't see me dressing simply or without bright colors and cool shapes ever in my future, and love rings and accessories of many kinds... I am soooo patient but yes, I am scary when I get mad. The old soul/young soul is also true, although the younger one is more apparent to people that know me better, and I'm very self-aware about the areas where I am still immature. The eyes thing is just completely wrong for me. I usually look people in the eyes unless it's a long convesration, and with long I mean 1+ hours, but it also depends where the other person and I are (if we're talking in a car, I will probably not look into their eyes too much, because of the orientation of the seats). Eye contact is really important for me, and I can understand if it is too much for some to look into mine, but I wanna make sure that the person *knows* that I'm interested in what they're saying and that I am 100% present.
The part about the replaying of jokes is so true. I tend to repeat things I like. Movies. Series. Books. Conversations and dialogue. I just thought I'm mentally not well lol. Turns out it's just me. ❤my go too used to be favs like star wars and buffy. And recently the brigerton series.😊
I’m naturally quite an aggressive INFP, so I usually see eye contact as a dominance battle or just straight out attack. If I’m not in attack mode though, eye contact is the absolute worst, lol.
So true on the fashion front. My husband is always encouraging flashy clothing… I’m always, no thank you. T shirt and comfy jeans please. My art club is having a Christmas party and a contest for best costumes. DREADING. May not participate.and thirdly, I occasionally catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror as I’m about to leave the house, and I’m forced to change at least one item of attire. The Norwegian sweater clashing with the red sneakers and tie died tights. True story. I just reach for what’s comfortable and they rarely co-ordinate. But unless I do a double take myself, I might just say screw it and hope I don’t get laughed at…
So me.. though I am close to a ENFP. I can make eye contact but it took lots of practice. I loved the sleeping bear metaphor. I always tell people that no I'm not angry.. you'll know when I'm angry. Lol
The clothing is so true! Either my style is simple or sometimes I do care and show my interests, and 100 percent the child like looking yet old soul. But I have lerand to look at people in their eyes but when I am nervous I can't. But sometimes when I look at them in their eyes I can't really pay attention to what they are saying
I look into people eyes,only when I’m close enough with them,though after i look for a while i twnd to get lost in my own thoughts I totally forget what I was doing 😂
try developing your Te so you can pose as INTP when first meeting people, as you get to know them, you open up and then, when you're closer, eye contact wont be so painful anymore
@@oceanallama You don't have to tell your mind anything :D Start rationalizing everything and apply critical thinking. If you begin zoning out, pull yourself back to this logical framework. If you zone out completely, don't beat yourself up about it, get back to Te. With time it'll become second nature and will improve not only eye contact, but your life in general.
The uncontrollable laughter is why I didn't finish uni and also why I've never gone to watch stand up comedy and have never tried to do stand up myself.
At first I had a hard time making eye contact but the moment I received a tip to eye contact that you have to look at their foreheads, it changed my life in an instant.
The eye part is so funny. My partner who I think is enfp told me I had a bit of a lump on neck from always looking down. It's gone now and since meeting him I can look people in the eye though not often 😂
I am an infp, all accurate af, also 4:00 This dosen’t happen often i can inly remember one time i yelled at someone angerly in thw last like 10 years. I was a roomate i let stay with me because she got kicked out where she was living, long story short she took advantage of my kindness and i told her she had to start looking for another place to stay. She preceeded to start screaming and crying and telling me how hard its been for her to adjust, btw before this moments she had told me this has been the happiest and most comfortable she had ever been anywhere including living with family, and she started playing victim locking herself inside our bathroom yell and sceraming talking on of her friends on the phone. This friend i already told that i was asking her to find a new place to live befause i wanted her friend to be awaear of the situation before hand. And when i asked her to stop scream in the bathroom she yell back at me, "cant i kick myaelf out in peace, just throw mystuff outside. At this point i didnt tell her she had to leave now i tols her she needs to start looking for somewhere else to stay because she isnt my child and if she not going carry her weight i cant have her here. But i ended yelling back and took all of her stuff outside
Everyone one in my family was very caught off guard by the entire situation because they never seen me get that upset, what mainly passed me off was her playing victim as she was living rent free and food free and bill free for almost 2 months at this point. I helped her get a job with a restaurant my brother was a manager at and she got fired for not showing u0
As an INFP-A, I confirm this 100 and 100000 percent! :D esp ,,giggles", ,,child/old soul", and ,,sleeping bears" parts. I even have a strange attraction to bears. :D everything is so truth mentioned in this video!
I definitely make eye contact. I can’t connect w people if there is no eye contact. And if the person I am talking w doesn’t make eye contact w me, I become uninterested because I don’t feel they are listening or interested in what I have to say.
Everytime i befriend somebody they say "i thought u were innocent" 😭im diif w my family compared w as i am w my friends hence my family thinking im simple and innocent but im not at all plus i def act childish with my family n thats how i truly act tho but with meaningful friendships i liek yap a lot n be reserved more and im more of a listener then yapper, irl.. yeah i dress however i like and which interests me but my mom doesnt like it like 60% of the time lmao. i do giggle a lot depending on the person i dont feel particularly self conscious w but if i understand a joke which is natural for me to do so i giggle and do replay it over my mind n attempt at using it myself. i do love the sky n everything clouds but im afraid itll swallow me or the building and ground might collapse ngl. yep i was told im a passive texter n my friend said i never get mad which she even tried testing. even w insults but if somebody insults my friend or smth it js pisses me off or assumes smth abt them. usually im laidback. oh and the eyecontact. wait i could look if its someone im interested in.. or not... maybe...
As an INFP, I found everything to be accurate except the 'letting insults slide' part. Depending on how well I know the person, I'll either act shocked or chuckle, but I do take them very personally.
A 7th sign is the perpetual head tilt. Re-watch the animation of this video and notice how many times the animated people tilt their head to the side. I believe the head tilt is symbolic of our gift of seeing a different or hidden side to people and situations. Where others might see an unforgivable sinner, we see a person in search of redemption. Others see leaves and trees. We see the masterful artistry of nature. Others see despair. We see hope. Hence, the iconic INFP head tilt. If we're looking straightforward and directly at a person or situation, we See them and the truth. That could be good or bad, depending upon if we like 🤩 or dislike 🤬 what we see. update: an 8th sign of an INFP is our seemingly random comments. A previous commenter stated their favorite part of summer is the sky...such an INFP thing to say 😂❤. Our responses seem random only because we are replaying and replying to the conversation in our head. Plus, we are masters of indirect answers/hiding in plain sight. Discussing Mother Nature is one of our favorite subjects and a quick way to get us to enthusiastically reveal ourselves. So much for hiding 🫣😳😂
Oh wow…INFP female here…this is so accurate for me and comforting to an extent but also it’s giving me ‘pre-programmed’ vibes and a lack of uniqueness 😅
As an INFP i agree with everything except lack of eye contact. I am always curious to the eyes of people because it gives you a lot of information. We are observers.
The silliest one but also the most reliable is probably the one about the sky honestly. I don't even know what it is but every INFP I've ever met is all about pointing out the sky, and taking pictures of it to make sure others can also appreciate the beauty. Hell my friend group is probably sick of all the pictures of the sky I send but that's not gonna make me stop. Also, have you seen the INFP subreddit? xD
I'm an INFP and I'm always ok with it, if someone cancels meeting up with me and wants to meet up at a later time or date, I never get bored when I'm by myself, maybe that's also an INFP thing.
I was obsessed with staring at the sky as a kid. Eye contact is true but not when talking to someone. I avoid eye contact with random people on the street and prefer to look at the ground or anywhere else. However, I’m okay with eye contact when talking to someone unless I’m thinking about what I want to say then I might look away
I will usually let insults pass by, I don't like violence and i try to steer away from them if possible. I love to be around people, but if they are purposefully doing something over and over again, not at all doing a good job. I will eventually break and begin being a little cold. but I then realize what's happening and go back to being peaceful and apologizing uncontrollably. I am not able to actually stand up for myself, when I get hit with criticism. I take it to the heart, I feel like the world is slipping under my feet. I want to be better, but its just so hard.
I make eye contact in two situations: 1 if I'm talking to someone who will get offended if you don't make eye contact with them and 2 if I'm facing off a bully:P.
I relate to all of this, but i also relate a lot to INFJ so im not sure which one im mistyped as, even after studying the cognitive functions i relate more to INFJ, but i just cant be sure about that. Im sort of like a logical INFP, I guess, and my enneagram typed me as a type 5w4 with type 8 also being pretty high. Every time i took that test on several occasions on several different platforms and websites, I was type 5. So then i researched that, and people say it's almost like a myth to be type 5 INFP and that im really an INTP, but I've never typed as an INTP once, ever. Im still completely confused about who I am. And no matter how deep I go and how much I go down the rabbit hole, I'm still left baffled. SOMEBODY HELP ME PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.
Eye contact with people im not close with is impossible, even if I want to lol. If im trying to make eye contact with someone ive just met or im nervous around, all of a sudden it feels like some kind of AC is on full blast even if its a hot room and my eyes are drying up, then I start blinking every second 😭
As an INFP, this actually explains me VERY well. Maybe not quite as much for the last one but I also don't hear about stuff to my face that makes me mad very much at all. I also normally wouldn't act like that in public, I have sometimes acted like that at home. I was actually surprised how well this explains me though!
I can't really stare to someone which is very evident to me.I thought i was so insecure but for some I look rude.. And I patience I thought I am not so patient.I canbe a bear but very seldom almost none cuz I always try to find a way to dodge my anger.i feel like a dormant volcano😅
the fact that most people watching this vid are infps making sure theyre infps is funny and prob cuz they wanna know how others view them

Apparently, not everyone takes time to notice that the sunset sky have purples, oranges, and pinks
Somtimes, I see hints of green as well. (Typically durring sunrise).

I think that's pretty classic, when you finally say smth back then you're somehow the bad guy..., says a lot about bullies really.
Because the anger of a quiet and patient person feels different, feels more impactful. And even more threatening.
This happens to me, always. Stick up for yourself.
Yep. Not only does the bully try to flip it around on you but you get gaslit by everyone else around you. Don't pay that any mind. You keep standing up for yourself. You deserve respect just like everybody else does.

I dress modest/earthy sometimes, but for the most part my style has always been eccentric, the more accessories-the better in my opinion. I love self expression through style and when I can’t self express through style, it feels like a part of me is missing. Any other INFPs like this?
me too. i need to shine from time to time
🙋🏾♀️
i'm kind of mixed. for the majority of time i just put on random stuff on me and go out to conquer the world, primarily because it's extremely tiring for me and expensive to find clothes and fits that i like and are good. But when i manage to make a real outfit, it's always expressive and very personal
Very boho, lots of jewelry, bright intense colors, flowing lines. And I would never call myself "earthy", though others have.
agree being a gothic INFP it's all about the accessories.
I only look people in the eye because my mother trained me to do so at an early age. But I also tend to look more at a person’s mouth if I feel intimidated by them.
I wonder if it is an INFP exclusive thing to always keep a random item from a moment in the past to cherish a memory? They develop a bond with an inanimate object, because it has a meaning for them, reminds them of a time they had fun with their friends and loved ones. Then somebody tries to throw such item in the garbage and we as infp get upset? I have stuff like pebbles from trips, tiny badges, soda cans, leaflets, sketches or words on a piece of paper. Not many people that I know of do this. Some find it weird, some completely understand.
mee too
yes! I once held on to the empty container of sour war heads drops for like a year, because it was something I shared with my first boyfriend.
I am an INFP-A and I must say that everything here is 100% accurate for me!
How do you become an INFP - A? I need to learn from you!
@@Turmericc Uhhhhhh
I dunno-
I just always try to think on the positive side and try to see every good thing in everything/everyone
I always try to do the right thing
And
Am
Am nice :3
I give everyone a chance
Uhhhhh
And I also have wisdom sometimes 👍
:3
Child at heart & Old soul.
Yes!! Do you know how great it is to have an inner child and an inner old lady?? “Wouldn’t you like another cookie?🥰”
“Yes please!😍”
The fashion, the looking at the mouth (always!), the underdogs, even the exploding rage... I feel seen! 😂
OMG...this nailed several aspects for me, that I'd never heard. I get chills.
I've been undecided for ages if I was an INFP or an INTP. The tests are also "confused", as my F and T scores are balanced. This video clears things for me - I feel seen. 😌 Thank you
samee
im like that right now but I still dont know any advice?
I have a friend who's also between INFP and INTP; I'm an ISFP.
I always tested as Infp in my 20s briefly as Intp, but back to Infp. The thinking aspect may be the info deep dive point in life that enables to gain useful perspective later on.
The test is very inaccurate it is best to learn cognitive functions
Number 5 is actually so accurate, I always point out at things like the sky, the way the stars align, the way a cloud looks or even how close a plane is while going by. Why am I so weird?😂😂😂
This is a really beautiful personality, I know an INFP and it's true, she never miss to point out if the moon is or the sky are special that day.
This channel has been the #1 most accurate that I've seen on the internet.
I always go to the terrace of my house every evening to adore the sky. When I walk in road also I keep pointing the sky and says it's beautiful to my friend.
My brother came back from a vision quest, and it was one of the few times that I could look all the way to the back of his eyes, and see clear happiness. With most people, I see either dishonesty, mixed motives, or other bad things. I used to have happy conversations with old friends. They were honest people so that was fine.
Oh, that’s another great reason why it can be difficult for us INFP’s to make direct eye contact. People’s eyes do “pull us in” and we can see and feel and sense the inner world of the other person, and sometimes it can be painful to connect with another’s personal inner turmoil, like, woof.
That’s beautiful that your brother had such happiness in his soul after the vision quest! I’m so happy for him.
@@victoriao7039 Thank you. I was really happy for him, too.
As an INFP, i loved this video, specially the part where the sky is shown.
they eyes thing is explained in such a perfect way here. I was always trying to find a better way of saying it.
Why is everything so accurate 😭 I really appreciate the night sky when walking my dog. I'd take pictures of the stars with my phone (even though it's barely visible) and uncontrollable laughing before telling a joke is too real. Also laughing at a joke even after everyone moved on ✋ It's so me. My friends would cast me weird looks because of it. Then there are just times where I'd dress up with a modest fashion sense in mind and at other times, I'd care less about how I look as long as I wore appropriate clothing. And about the bullies-it's quite true as well! Amazing observation, this video 🫶.
Looking someone in the eye is really intense. I get flooded with everything, and so I look away lest I be swept away.
I really like your videos! They’re well made and accurate haha
OMG…I totally start remember things and laugh for no apparent reason.
There are days where I will look people directly in the eyes to the point of overdoing it. Other days, I’ll speak without even looking in their direction (otherwise, just in their vicinity to be polite but not the eyes) because I’m so spaced out and don’t have the strength required to engage with the soul before me on such a deep level. I did notice that it became easier for me to look people in the eye after taking a theatre class where we were required to meet the eyes of our theatre partner for an uncomfortable full minute without breaking contact. After several of these exercises, it became easier and I was able to extrapolate that skill outside of the classroom.
I believe this is spot on
i’m an INFP & literally personify every single thing mentioned in this video
4 is so true 😭 ppl used to call me weird for that but I can’t control but laugh at times.
the worst is when you meet new people and can't help but laugh without a reason, then they think you're nuts 😂
@@dedmu5793I knoww, I’ve learned to control it though luckily. U know I’ve been so disappointed to hear that mbti is pseudoscience bc it has been quite accurate for me.
@@Floral_skies2727 mbti is pseudoscience but cognitive functions hold some scientific reliability
@@dedmu5793Yea, I took the michael caloz test and it used cognitive functions. Interesting to know about this personality theory though.
Huh, I was actually surprised for once, the giggle-proneness was unexpected and veeery true for me.
I, however, don't see me dressing simply or without bright colors and cool shapes ever in my future, and love rings and accessories of many kinds...
I am soooo patient but yes, I am scary when I get mad. The old soul/young soul is also true, although the younger one is more apparent to people that know me better, and I'm very self-aware about the areas where I am still immature.
The eyes thing is just completely wrong for me. I usually look people in the eyes unless it's a long convesration, and with long I mean 1+ hours, but it also depends where the other person and I are (if we're talking in a car, I will probably not look into their eyes too much, because of the orientation of the seats). Eye contact is really important for me, and I can understand if it is too much for some to look into mine, but I wanna make sure that the person *knows* that I'm interested in what they're saying and that I am 100% present.
The part about the replaying of jokes is so true. I tend to repeat things I like. Movies. Series. Books. Conversations and dialogue. I just thought I'm mentally not well lol. Turns out it's just me. ❤my go too used to be favs like star wars and buffy. And recently the brigerton series.😊
I’m naturally quite an aggressive INFP, so I usually see eye contact as a dominance battle or just straight out attack. If I’m not in attack mode though, eye contact is the absolute worst, lol.
An INFP’s best friend and worst enemy is just their brain.
So true on the fashion front. My husband is always encouraging flashy clothing… I’m always, no thank you. T shirt and comfy jeans please. My art club is having a Christmas party and a contest for best costumes. DREADING. May not participate.and thirdly, I occasionally catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror as I’m about to leave the house, and I’m forced to change at least one item of attire. The Norwegian sweater clashing with the red sneakers and tie died tights. True story. I just reach for what’s comfortable and they rarely co-ordinate. But unless I do a double take myself, I might just say screw it and hope I don’t get laughed at…
So me.. though I am close to a ENFP. I can make eye contact but it took lots of practice. I loved the sleeping bear metaphor. I always tell people that no I'm not angry.. you'll know when I'm angry. Lol
The clothing is so true! Either my style is simple or sometimes I do care and show my interests, and 100 percent the child like looking yet old soul. But I have lerand to look at people in their eyes but when I am nervous I can't. But sometimes when I look at them in their eyes I can't really pay attention to what they are saying
This is the most accurate thing I have ever heard. ❤
I look into people eyes,only when I’m close enough with them,though after i look for a while i twnd to get lost in my own thoughts I totally forget what I was doing 😂
i thought no one understood me well enough, but this video proved me wrong 💀
scary how accurate everything is.. literally everything
As an INFP this is totally relatable
The eye contact one is so real, I tear up whenever I make eye contact with mostly everyone except my closest people
try developing your Te so you can pose as INTP when first meeting people, as you get to know them, you open up and then, when you're closer, eye contact wont be so painful anymore
@@dedmu5793 how do it do that though? I can't just go into my mind and tell my inferior Te to be less submissive to Fi
@@oceanallama You don't have to tell your mind anything :D
Start rationalizing everything and apply critical thinking. If you begin zoning out, pull yourself back to this logical framework. If you zone out completely, don't beat yourself up about it, get back to Te.
With time it'll become second nature and will improve not only eye contact, but your life in general.
@@dedmu5793 thank you! I kind of ready do that
Oh gosh, yeah it’s honestly embarrassing when I have to tell myself to stop laughing. “I’m at a funeral” is what I repeat in my head lol
I don’t what I am so confused lol because people say I am not good at understanding someone so does that make an intp?
The uncontrollable laughter is why I didn't finish uni and also why I've never gone to watch stand up comedy and have never tried to do stand up myself.
At first I had a hard time making eye contact but the moment I received a tip to eye contact that you have to look at their foreheads, it changed my life in an instant.
The eye part is so funny. My partner who I think is enfp told me I had a bit of a lump on neck from always looking down. It's gone now and since meeting him I can look people in the eye though not often 😂
I was expecting BS but these were spot on 👏
I am an infp, all accurate af, also 4:00
This dosen’t happen often i can inly remember one time i yelled at someone angerly in thw last like 10 years.
I was a roomate i let stay with me because she got kicked out where she was living, long story short she took advantage of my kindness and i told her she had to start looking for another place to stay. She preceeded to start screaming and crying and telling me how hard its been for her to adjust, btw before this moments she had told me this has been the happiest and most comfortable she had ever been anywhere including living with family, and she started playing victim locking herself inside our bathroom yell and sceraming talking on of her friends on the phone.
This friend i already told that i was asking her to find a new place to live befause i wanted her friend to be awaear of the situation before hand.
And when i asked her to stop scream in the bathroom she yell back at me, "cant i kick myaelf out in peace, just throw mystuff outside.
At this point i didnt tell her she had to leave now i tols her she needs to start looking for somewhere else to stay because she isnt my child and if she not going carry her weight i cant have her here. But i ended yelling back and took all of her stuff outside
Everyone one in my family was very caught off guard by the entire situation because they never seen me get that upset, what mainly passed me off was her playing victim as she was living rent free and food free and bill free for almost 2 months at this point. I helped her get a job with a restaurant my brother was a manager at and she got fired for not showing u0
this is so accurate watching this as an actual infp
I enjoy this video.
I'm giggling.
As an INFP-A, I confirm this 100 and 100000 percent! :D esp ,,giggles", ,,child/old soul", and ,,sleeping bears" parts. I even have a strange attraction to bears. :D everything is so truth mentioned in this video!
I definitely make eye contact. I can’t connect w people if there is no eye contact. And if the person I am talking w doesn’t make eye contact w me, I become uninterested because I don’t feel they are listening or interested in what I have to say.
Everytime i befriend somebody they say "i thought u were innocent" 😭im diif w my family compared w as i am w my friends hence my family thinking im simple and innocent but im not at all plus i def act childish with my family n thats how i truly act tho but with meaningful friendships i liek yap a lot n be reserved more and im more of a listener then yapper, irl.. yeah i dress however i like and which interests me but my mom doesnt like it like 60% of the time lmao. i do giggle a lot depending on the person i dont feel particularly self conscious w but if i understand a joke which is natural for me to do so i giggle and do replay it over my mind n attempt at using it myself. i do love the sky n everything clouds but im afraid itll swallow me or the building and ground might collapse ngl. yep i was told im a passive texter n my friend said i never get mad which she even tried testing. even w insults but if somebody insults my friend or smth it js pisses me off or assumes smth abt them. usually im laidback. oh and the eyecontact. wait i could look if its someone im interested in.. or not... maybe...
As an INFP, I found everything to be accurate except the 'letting insults slide' part. Depending on how well I know the person, I'll either act shocked or chuckle, but I do take them very personally.
A 7th sign is the perpetual head tilt. Re-watch the animation of this video and notice how many times the animated people tilt their head to the side.
I believe the head tilt is symbolic of our gift of seeing a different or hidden side to people and situations.
Where others might see an unforgivable sinner, we see a person in search of redemption.
Others see leaves and trees. We see the masterful artistry of nature.
Others see despair. We see hope.
Hence, the iconic INFP head tilt. If we're looking straightforward and directly at a person or situation, we See them and the truth. That could be good or bad, depending upon if we like 🤩 or dislike 🤬 what we see.
update: an 8th sign of an INFP is our seemingly random comments. A previous commenter stated their favorite part of summer is the sky...such an INFP thing to say 😂❤.
Our responses seem random only because we are replaying and replying to the conversation in our head.
Plus, we are masters of indirect answers/hiding in plain sight. Discussing Mother Nature is one of our favorite subjects and a quick way to get us to enthusiastically reveal ourselves.
So much for hiding 🫣😳😂
Oh wow…INFP female here…this is so accurate for me and comforting to an extent but also it’s giving me ‘pre-programmed’ vibes and a lack of uniqueness 😅
i am infp but can show shades of infj :) the eye contact is exceptionally hard for me. i feel like im invading personal space.
It's unsettling that all of these were accurate. 😂😂😂😂
This is basically EVERYBODY!
also easier to type and talk via messengers than in person. another way to spot one of us.
As an INFP i agree with everything except lack of eye contact. I am always curious to the eyes of people because it gives you a lot of information. We are observers.
As an INFP, I definitely dress in a very simple manner (lots of basics), although I love fashion and even work in fashion retail.. ;-)
The silliest one but also the most reliable is probably the one about the sky honestly. I don't even know what it is but every INFP I've ever met is all about pointing out the sky, and taking pictures of it to make sure others can also appreciate the beauty. Hell my friend group is probably sick of all the pictures of the sky I send but that's not gonna make me stop.
Also, have you seen the INFP subreddit? xD
Almost on-point on everything for me…def I’m an info
I'm an INFP and I'm always ok with it, if someone cancels meeting up with me and wants to meet up at a later time or date, I never get bored when I'm by myself, maybe that's also an INFP thing.
introvert thing, I think. we can be entertained by our own thoughts.
INFPs are unicorns for me. I hear about them but don't know any....or maybe I just can't identify them?
I was obsessed with staring at the sky as a kid.
Eye contact is true but not when talking to someone. I avoid eye contact with random people on the street and prefer to look at the ground or anywhere else. However, I’m okay with eye contact when talking to someone unless I’m thinking about what I want to say then I might look away
I'm infp and all of these are soooo trueeeeee
Oh my gosh, this is so true except the eye contact. I naturally make strong eye contact. Overall this was so accurate 😁.
I will usually let insults pass by, I don't like violence and i try to steer away from them if possible. I love to be around people, but if they are purposefully doing something over and over again, not at all doing a good job. I will eventually break and begin being a little cold. but I then realize what's happening and go back to being peaceful and apologizing uncontrollably. I am not able to actually stand up for myself, when I get hit with criticism. I take it to the heart, I feel like the world is slipping under my feet. I want to be better, but its just so hard.
I make eye contact in two situations: 1 if I'm talking to someone who will get offended if you don't make eye contact with them and 2 if I'm facing off a bully:P.
I relate to all of this, but i also relate a lot to INFJ so im not sure which one im mistyped as, even after studying the cognitive functions i relate more to INFJ, but i just cant be sure about that. Im sort of like a logical INFP, I guess, and my enneagram typed me as a type 5w4 with type 8 also being pretty high. Every time i took that test on several occasions on several different platforms and websites, I was type 5. So then i researched that, and people say it's almost like a myth to be type 5 INFP and that im really an INTP, but I've never typed as an INTP once, ever. Im still completely confused about who I am. And no matter how deep I go and how much I go down the rabbit hole, I'm still left baffled. SOMEBODY HELP ME PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.
I feel aggressively called out.... Your day right through me and didn't even make eye contact!
Eye contact with people im not close with is impossible, even if I want to lol. If im trying to make eye contact with someone ive just met or im nervous around, all of a sudden it feels like some kind of AC is on full blast even if its a hot room and my eyes are drying up, then I start blinking every second 😭
So incredibly accurate
This hit my soul😆💖
100%😊well done❤it
Wooow this is so me 😂 I love clouds
Alright I spot it myself.... Jeez so accurate
I always look in the eyes.
looks into stranger's eyes...... 30seconds later I'm already on the 3rd trilogy of our love story thriller action sci fi comedy drama
The gigglers part is so trueeee when I saw it I remembered a joke my friend told me during quarantine and lmao I can’t stop laughing 😭😭
I wonder if there’s somewhere that explains the not looking person in the eye thing. Like… WHY!!!
As an INFP, this actually explains me VERY well. Maybe not quite as much for the last one but I also don't hear about stuff to my face that makes me mad very much at all. I also normally wouldn't act like that in public, I have sometimes acted like that at home. I was actually surprised how well this explains me though!
The eyes thing is sooo true
I’m an INFP and I stare at people intensely.. then get lost in my imaginary world… then realize I’m staring
I can't really stare to someone which is very evident to me.I thought i was so insecure but for some I look rude.. And I patience I thought I am not so patient.I canbe a bear but very seldom almost none cuz I always try to find a way to dodge my anger.i feel like a dormant volcano😅
I scored INFP since twenty years ago and this is LITERALLY ME
