Why People Love INFPs

#infp #love #people

I am known for my videos on personality psychology. I promote personal growth, self-acceptance, and flow. I want people to live more meaningful lives. I want to help people find their passion. I do not practice a specific system of typology. I understand all perspectives and focus on teaching you what works. I believe in an ethical approach to personality psychology. The goal is to help you understand yourself and to promote mental health and well being.

Loved 😀 by strangers, misunderstood 😒 by family.

In my experience as an INFP, we are EXCELLENT LISTENERS. BUT!! We never have anyone who ACTIVELY LISTENS to us.😣😨

[annastroven]

As an INFP, this made me blush. ☺️ Great pick me up. We are not perfect, but we try to be friendly to all.

[ElodieN_INTJ_Typology_Insights]

INFP _ deep feelings, kind, respectul, very big heart, nice, polite always say hello, smile, love animals more than humans, recognize the good people, spend much energy for others more than for themselves, they need peace and calm but they constantly move XD, eternal child, fairy, butterfly.
Give and spend too much for others, they should prioritize themselves before the others.

I'm pretty sure my boss at work is an ENFJ and he's always sprinkling uplifting/encouraging comments when he sees me. It's the best feeling, honestly. I've never had such direct and genuine reassurance. 😊

I think I was in college (this was long before I learned I am an INFP) when I realized that I had a knack for giving people the right kind of space to be themselves and be comfortable. That became a point of pride for me, something I knew I could give to others.

Hi Erik this is Gola from Canada. As an INFP, half of my life I was struggling with sense of Identity and fitting in.. I think just recently I started feeling comfortable inside my skin and being grateful for who I am. Thanks for the knowledge that share. Cheers to all of us

I’m an INFP who shared a wonderful 5 year love relationship with another INFP, but ruined it in Dec. 2016 because I was insecure. Womp womp. She’s been with someone else and thriving, and I’ve been in variously deep levels of despondency since. This isn’t that relevant to the video I guess but I admire her character so deeply it’s not hard to remind me, sorry for the unsolicited gushing, I gotta find a therapist…

[lightloveandawake]

💗😊💕Thanks for making your videos, Erik, from one INFP to another.💕😊💗

[squali]

People like me because I let them make fun of me. At first it's all fun and games but after awhile it's exhausting and starts to become disrespectful.

[SophieBird]

Lol. Sending this to my ESFP, (partner if you will), who I finally hit my limit with! INFPs are definitely not naive, control freaks at least as far as trying to control others. It takes A LOT to send them over the edge. And I suppose if anyone can do it, it will be an ESFP, or maybe an ESTJ. Love your vids!

[Lilacleaf]

We love you too! And I know people think we are mysterious and it adds to the appeal, but please, don't tell the infps in your life how mysterious they are. We all want huma connection and being told this can sometimes reinforce this feeling of being alien and misunderstood by everybody.

Thank you❤️ i am trying to appreciate my personality type more. i’ve always been insecure about being the way i am, but mbti makes me feel more normal

[globalheartwarming]

Bravo! Thank you. Yet it's clear we not only feel unwelcome but often are, and that can be because we see right through other people's defenses and they defend against us in our openness to all feeling, sometimes harshly, injuriously, and suddenly, automatically. I propose that we INFPs give support and acceptance to each other... ❤️💜💖✨✨✨

[Dare]

You've got a calming voice. It's a refreshing change. Thank you💖
I am an INFP myself. It's not always easy or comes naturally to feel empathy though I think they cannot tell that well when I don't get them. Sometimes I need to withdraw to find emotions within myself. To be more specific, their emotions within my own self. Then I'd usually like to text a person or write a letter to them. I rarely do that though. Still looking for a person who would be comfortable with this. I noticed, when I'm asked about my opinion of somebody I tend to summarize what they did best, list their qualities and strengths or when mentioning something that they do not seems to be comfortable with, frame like that. Not like flaw. Rather than tell my opinion. Another summary I do is after a time spent together. I'm not asked, I kinda say it as a question checking out if I understand them the way their understand themselves. So I take something I've just learnt about them and contrast it with something similar about me, and I try to create a bridge, a connection between the 2 traits, interests, goals etc. E.g. one of the friends is real hard into Dragon Ball. He likes the martial arts part. I don't find it slightly interesting, what I do like is to listen to true crime podcasts. This I barely mentioned in a previous conversation. No one then asked me about ut so I didn't say anything else but it had been said so when I later summarized "seems like we both look for sings of violence in culture but in different places" it made sense. Like, enough. And he agreed. This is how bond even when I don't exactly click with somebody.
Obviously, there are people irritated by non-speaking company, it's okay. Not only not everybody will like me but even not everybody should like me. I do appreciate that my friends seem to find my quiet presence unbothering at worst, comforting at best. Mosty they talk, I listen, ask questions. Comment. Actually I'd like to speak a bit more often and without the need to be adressed by them. It's only been 3 weeks of hanging out so I guess it will change in time as I grow more comfortable. There's so much I need to ask them it really shouldn't go any other way.

This speaks to me directly !
I've always wondered why people really like my presence, even strangers, for example, most of the times when i meet someone new, they instantly tell me that they feel really soothed by my presence and that they liked me without even knowing me.
Now you made everything clear to me, thanks Erik !

[barbralauterbach]

Thank you Erik for the kind way you speak to us. Your gentle knowing nature is to be admired.

[evasccl]

Erik, you are spot on. The answer to your question, you already explained it at the end. I don't feel loved most times, even within the family, I somehow don't feel welcome nor understood and many a times, it just does not feel safe to open up... yet, I get lost in listening what others have to say, what they share... and yes, I am so present and intentional, i give undivided attention and ask questions from a place of deep caring to understand.

The better I understand you, where you are coming from, your experiences and how these have made you who you are, then not only do I spot the unsaid, but I can also better be a caring friend that nurtures those areas about you that you yourself do not see or are not aware of... it is like opening a little box hidden within you, that you lost memory of it as you grew up, and I have opened and found the gems that you posses. I am the best FAN girl to my friends and family hahahaha and I am VERY proud of their achievements, I celebrate them with inmense joy and it fills the air somehow, everyone celebrates it too!

Those are such beautiful moments for me, and very enriching to the other person too... I believe we all crave to have that which we give, and for us to open up... we need to see genuine interest to know us... give us that clear green light to do so... we do love to share, we deeply care and love to talk about deep stuff we don't shy away if you get us started ;)

Last year I learnt something that as I looked more into it, I realize it is pretty true but I am not sure who has the power to change it, and at times I believe we do, but we dread being hurt, because when we get hurt... oh dear... it takes us ages to heal and get over it, because we go down to the core minutia of the whole situation over and over, disect it until there is nothing more to disect. After that, we need to rest as we'd be exhausted and depleated... that would have been a great time for the one who hurt us to pop in and ask or have done some thinking and come to talk about it understanding and apologizing.

The givers good generous givers of what matters in the human esphere... struggle to receive from fellow humans who happily take and take from the mentioned givers! How to balance that Erik?!
Thank you for making this video, it did get me emotional! 💗

[cutiepi_patti]

This is very true. I always try to see the best in people and try to understand where each individual came from and how it affects their beliefs, values, words and actions. The vid makes me feel seen and welcome 🥺😃.
