  • In this video I discuss my very favorite aspect of INFPs (the one which seems to be the most prevalent among INFPs) as well as the “runner up” personality trait. INFPs have some amazing characteristics but one of them wins the gold medal here.

    This video confirm what I've suspected for a while: INFPs absolutely NEED our introspection time. I used to think it was a sign I was lazy and unfocused. But I realized when I'm happiest, and even more productive, is when I allow myself those moments to just briefly sit and tune in to my own thoughts. It's like hitting a button to reset and we're okay afterward.

    Also I learn a lot from my daydreams. I think about all kinds of scenarios and how they can turn out different ways, how I would feel and act, how I should, how other people would and why etc. etc. etc... My outer world can seem small and plain but my inner world is so big I don't even know how to describe.

    We definitely have that childish pov that let us preserve our third eye, I feel others usually struggle to dream, while we may struggle to keep feet on the ground but we're predisposed to control our dreams with the heart, which is beautiful

    Only my INFJ daughter doesn't like it when I ask questions to clarify when actively listening. So I have learned to make myself wait until she is done and try to listen while making mental notes of any questions, and save them for the end, if I haven't lost the question I had by then. 😊. I Try. My INFJ Bio daughter is a very sensitive soul. Totally agree about the INFP day dreaming being a great place to go for healing and rejuvenation. 😊 Thank you for the video 🤗

    As an INFP with both autistic and ADHD traits, listening to others with my whole brain can either be super easy or really difficult for me...but I still want to cultivate this skill more strongly. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Yep, I've spent years and years daydreaming myself through boring jobs and things I didn't want to do. I mean it's pretty much a 24/7 thing. But when I was 17 I have this memory of an ESTJ uncle of mine making me and my ESTJ brother spend days and days concreting and building a shed on a farm. I only coped by silently daydreaming my way through the misery XD

    Love this! You're super cool for describing your daydreams and how they can switch on at will...yesss, that's exactly it! It's been such a natural and ongoing part of my life, I thought everyone had an extreme daydream world until I learned about MBTI. Just a couple hours ago, my husband walked in talking about something. Then he looked at me and said 'Hold up. Your mind is gone to your other universe...Nope, I'll talk to you later!' Lol, guess he knows my daydream look🤣So, what is it about our function stack that makes us the masters at daydreaming? The FiNe combo?

    • @psychcasserole

    Perhaps daydreaming is our therapy for being subjected to this dark world? In my opinion, my own connectivity to people can border on psychic and I can carry the residue of their happenings and depress into a depressive state, finding that some time after I learn they were dealing with some issue. Crazy isn't it! Great video as always 😊

    Who is to say we have to participate in life and that there is a proper way to function as a human... functioning as a proper human is a societal perspective that makes the world dark... perhaps a shift in thinking what is proper and what is not is needed... I function enough to make sure my family survives in society, in most cases I have no want or need to function more than that unless I have something to say... like now...

    INFJ wife thinks it's all about how I fit in the world and everything else relates to me in my head. Very self centered. I don't think she really understands that I know we've both given up everything to be with each other, but I feel like what we've gained is greater than our individual experiences. When she comes to me with something that's on her mind I'm totally absorbed in it and completely with her. Often in a way that I've dissolved from my present experience and am in the experience she's trying to work out. I feel like this combined both experiences you just spoke about here

    I wondered while watching, do INFPs have reoccurring dreams. I experience these and can change the outcome, but they seems to start/ dream in the same place. Daydreaming is very coping but I catch myself feeling like I’m losing control in day dreams but not in regular dreams. Thank you for sharing such deep thoughts displayed. Peace.

    I don't know if this is related, but if I'm going somewhere and I don't remember the best way to get there, I can litterly visualize a map and plot my route. I can also visualize other things in order to solve problems. I can even see through walls(not really, but if i know what the room on the other side of the wall looks like, i can visualize the room on the other side of the wall.) I consider it to be a superpower of sorts. The only thing that sucks about daydreaming is that I do get some very unpleasant daydreams from time to time. If I randomly think of somthing like somones flesh falling off of their body, I can litterly visualize it and then I can't unsee it. One time I thought about a nuke going off when I was in the kitchen and I imagined hearing a loud bang as the cieling came crashing down very quickly and everything went black. I imagined the feeling of the cieling impacting my body. None of that stuff actually happened and it wasnt like a hallucination or anything but it was so vivid that I can recall it like an actual memory. It's definitely an ability I believe needs to be used with caution for the sake of ones mental health.

    Some people tell me, directly or indirectly that I need to "develop" a personality. If I had no personality, I would fit in just perfectly. Perhaps it is a question of transcending it through embracing it.

    I resonate so much with what you say. However, I am an INTJ-T, but my thinking/feeling is consistently 51/49%. Therefore, I am a wobbler. I only started watching your videos because I had my heartbroken by an INFP and I keep trying to see what I did wrong or what I could have done differently (typical T). I also love to create my own virtual reality and often do it while I am doing stuff just to keep myself sane. The thing that is so frustrating about INFPs is how easy they are to manipulate. Does that change as they get older?

    • @carmen1106
      @carmen1106 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Also, daydreaming is manifesting so it's not pointless or a time waster. Its a personal, portable, vision board which is necessary for anyone to have a goal. In order to have a goal, one must first have the vision.

    • @psychcasserole

    Ive been in a long standing mental block trying to determine if I'm an ISFP or INFP. I'm struggling to come to terms with what makes more sense to me and pinning down what type i actually think fits me best.
    Watching these videos helps a little, but all of the different descriptions both sound like me and not at the same time, which is a little frustrating.

    • @psychcasserole
      @psychcasserole  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @Psych Casserole I feel sometimes it's hard for me to self reflect and sort of actualize what I'm thinking or feeling. I tend to boil it down to "I'm just me" Having lots of possibilities is exciting, but it also sort of makes me question if what I chose was right, or if I've made a mistake or wasn't being true to myself.
      A really good example is when I play video games with branching paths. When a choice is presented to me, sometimes I'll have to completely put the game down and agonize over every possible outcome to make sure I'm adhering to my personal values, or doing what feels right, even if the choice has very little actual impact in the game. I want to make a decision and I guess a "correct" decision, but it may be more than that. I want to make the right decision FOR ME, not necessarily the most objectively correct decision in terms of game play advantage or reward.
      I don't know if that in any way made sense, and it probably doesn't actually narrow anything down, but it was nice to rant for a little bit 😆

    • @allweneedislove965
      @allweneedislove965 ปีที่แล้ว

      ​@@brandoncreek5709that sounds very infp. We overthink every possible outcome but still choose what's right for us because our desire is too strong. Yeah very FiNe😂

    So if the world is dark and full of darkness where is the light found? Who is the light? The third eye thing can be and really is a big deception honestly... We are not gods unto ourselves. We are created beings, made for a purpose by our Creator. The world is such a mess because of utter rebellion against the Creator who originally made all things quite good, and only He can restore that, when He will🌿
