5 Healthy VS Unhealthy INFP Traits (Which One Are You?)

An unhealthy INFP tends to be domineering, self-conscious, and controlling. They see their ideals as the “truth,” and any opinion against their ideals is offensive. Moreover, they hide problems and emotions for fear of displaying vulnerability.

On the other hand, healthy INFPs are considerate and genuinely empathetic about people’s perspectives. They are expressive of emotions and welcome criticisms as stepping stones for growth.

The unhealthy traits honestly sound like defense mechanisms and survival/coping techniques, now that I think of it.
So try and pinpoint what's bringing you down infp :)
You'll find a way to cope with the way you cope with things. I believe in you guys <3

Im a bit of both, I hide from the world a bit to stay comfortable. At the same time I try to learn a lot to self improve…mostly on psychological subjects though. I am happy to say that I have managed to influence my work mates a bit as a service coach. I think I have improved the mood at work and given my work friends some good advice.

[dont_mind_me]

I am both insecure and humble. There are times that I would ignore a person's advice to escape from my failure and sometimes I ask for advices to improve my performance. Most of the time I am reticent, not because I don't want to be pitied but because people around me just gives unsolicited advices out of nowhere and that's what I don't like.

Leaning towards healthy infp. I still have trouble with constructive critizism and I prefer to work without input from others, but I can ask for help when I need it.
Edit: Thanks for the video!

My moral compass sometimes feels broken with amount of readjustment its made to put through.

Wow..watching this i get to know how much i have grown and learnt from my relationship with my mom. So, i've quit university to take care of her and spent years at home alone. There i noticed how our personality clashes. But then 1 day, something occured to me maybe i was the problem since my behavior is more like mirrored my dad's and i hate him as well. I asked her and she pointed me where i flawed and helped me a lot to improve. Yes, it took years and patience that no other human being can endure me as good as my mom was. She was the best human relationship i've had in my entire life and i missed her everyday since she passed away in june. I know now to move on, i would have to open myself to new relationships but with her, i kinda expect something that i will gain from the relationship and kinda putting a door to opportunities.

Right now I'm with all the unhealthy habits 💀

[SinYingWong]

Oh no I'm hitting all the unhealthy points :laughcry:

[Britania-Valon]

What I heard:

Healthy infps - calm, considerate, non judgmental, self acceptance etc.

Unhealthy infps - ESTJ in the worst way possible.

Which I agree with completely cause I tend to rock between the two.

[chinmaylovekar]

Assertiveness leads to a healthy mindset. We all need to control our neurotic behavior to see these changes in us. Great video.

[ltheelementalflowl]

I lean more on the healthy as an optimistic, but I often dream or love and romance.

My anxiety gets to me sometimes and that's when I relapse in my insecurities. I need alone time to navigate my feelings and recharge.

[KnightlyScarlet]

... Apparently I'm healthy... damn... even when I felt the worst the last couple years and dealing with loss... huh... crazy.

When I feel insulted I strive to prove my capability with my actions... I fight harder and often am straightforward when it comes to telling people they are capable of doing more. they are brilliant and kind and capable. When someone comes to me and says they don't think they can move on, or, they worry they've become what the job made them. I tell them this.

No matter what you've been through. No matter what you've learned there, and who/ where you learned it from YOU made the decision to take on that knowledge. Through your efforts and work, you learned that. Someone might've given you tools, but YOU chose to use them and to make something with them. You owe them nothing. It's fine to be grateful, but do not ever limit yourself because a place or person wants to keep you tied down for their convenience. You are not a tool. You are a brilliant and talented person who can deduce you're own limits and capabilities. Don't stop at some minimum wage place that doesn't care about you. Strive to learn even more and understand your possibilities. Find out what you need to meet your goals and just do your best. Life is not linear. It's all over the place and the journey might even change your trajectory. As long as you keep learning and are passionate about your efforts, hell even when you might be a little down on them, it's just another adventure. YOU are amazing. YOU will adapt. AND YOU WILL inevitably SUCCEED. Just keep trying to do and be the best that you can.

My immersion reactions in the moments are unhealthy, but I’m always able to pull back and reframe

[meriemza]

What about someone who's healthy and unhealthy at the same exact time💀

[Jeffroiscool]

Pretty much unhealthy other than me being expressive, only being expressive is causing a lot of problems with someone I care about :(

[blackmine]

Just find out your videos and I really appreciate them. Thank you for your work

[healingwithtarot]

I always wonder if I'm not truly an INFP, because all videoes I've watched so far says things like we keep our emotions to ourselves, but I'm very open with mine and value good communication, knowing that no one is a mind reader. So it's so nice to see that's a healthy trait of the INFP. Thanks 🥰

[juliacornejo]

As a good INFP, I feel like I lean both ways
However I do recognize that I'm more often on the unhealthy side, I've struggled for a long time to open up about my emotions so I keep a lot of things to myself, and I'm afraid of failure. Sometimes I do have courage to present ideas and receive feedback and take it well, but more often than not, I'd rather keep it to myself, or if I get feedback, I just don't know how to apply it or simply ignore it because I feel like "I'm right"

[natlbg]

Wow this video really made me realise how much I have grown as a person!
