How to spot an INFP:

You don't, we're always inside our rooms.

[lindsayschnittger]

So much of an INFP is internal. So very much of what makes me me isn’t and won’t ever be seen. Spotting us isn’t easy.

[adakilicarslan]

"... Because what is now was once imagined." that was brilliant...

[Tracydoune]

We INFP don't even know how to describe ourselves!

[Chigger]

ENFP here. INFPs are pretty great. I welcome my introverted brethren with open arms in a hug that's probably bigger than necessary.

Every INFP I've met is pretty damn cute not even going to lie

My 17-yr-old son is an INFP. He goes out with his friends, and despite conventional wisdom about how dumb groups of boys can be, I feel confident that if a bad idea came up, he wouldn't participate. He's got his compass, and no amount of peer pressure is going to persuade him. It's my ESFP 13-yr-old I'm worried about. 😂

“...their natural balance is typically physical comfort and intellectual variety.”

[CyhAnide]

We INFPs often get emotionally adopted, I've noticed.
Like a stray cat someone decides to lure into a forever home, no matter how mangy and weird that cat [thinks it] is.
I've yet to fully comprehend the reasoning behind this behavior, but I got married SOMEhow, which is nice.

I love the INFPs. They are so enigmatic and positive. They think on their feet and have deep philosophies - but they’re so humble. Undyingly loyal. So very true to themselves. Always trying. I think there’s this idea that INFPs are lazy...and yeah I think that’s probably true a lot of the times - but they’re always reinventing the wheel. They’re always getting back up again and taking a crack at life in a new and different way - trying to improve themselves and their understanding of the world. It makes them incredibly resilient. They can get cut easily and deeply - but killing them is another matter entirely. They heal surprisingly fast and then they rebound. They’re never the same version of themselves twice. Their emotions are like rocket ship fuel. When their emotions and their desire to produce something combine - they can be powerhouses of work and dedication. They’re not easily intimidated by learning new things. They’re incredibly hard to phase when it comes to sharing intense philosophies or crazy ideas. You can get away with murder. It’s okay - they’ll forgive you. They always surprise me too with the weird random skills they have. Just out of nowhere - and the creativity they bring to those skills. There are very few humans I would suggest are unpredictable at this point in my social intelligence development - but INFPs are one such genre. They just always leave me guessing - and that’s what keeps me coming back. If only I had dated an INFP male. Maybe I would have ended up married 🤷‍♀️

PS: I forgot my favorite part. You can vanish on them for weeks and then come back like nothing happened and they act like they’re just totally okay with that. No other type seems to be like this. I have to have massive anxiety every time I go into ghost mode because most of the people I know are going to voice emotions about that.

I know some of them and like them. I think they tend to have a hard life, because of questioning lots of things and being moral. That's what I appreciate very much, therefore I hope they'll survive well. Feel loved INFPs

I would add that we don´t push our beliefs and philosophies on others and even hesitate to talk about controversial topics and show our true colours in order to avoid conflict and I would add that we value kindness.

A video on my type? On my birthday what a special treat.

[elizabee]

What do I do for a living?...Daydream.
People constantly categorize me as an extrovert (like ENFP-ish), and then they’re offended when I disappear 👻..and then I feel bad for not reappearing soon enough, and I just stay hidden ☁️ inside my own world. 🙃

[lucci]

Sometimes we do find it '' annoying'' to fit in this society, because we see it as limited and conforming.
Do I rather do the dishes or travel to non ordinary realities?
The choice is easy.
But the more we mature, the more we find the balance, and the more we expand our vision of what is actually possible to create in the physical realm too. So we start to combine both worlds. Its exciting!!!

"Physical comfort and intellectual variety" - yes, I'd say those are two principles that govern my world. Thanks Nathan, for summing me up so astutely!

I love the quote “What is, was once imagined.” Nathan is a genius with words!

[Thrleven]

As an INTP, one of my proudest social achievements will always be 'forcing' my INFP friend to stick around after high school and ditch their emotionally unstable friendship


I just sit in my room most the time, but I'd be DAMNED if my new little sibling had drifted off by themselves

THANK YOU for mentioning our grounded sides! I hate the "manic pixie dreamgirl" stereotype—it's not me *at all.* Also the part about not pushing emotions onto others and disliking it when others push emotions onto us is very accurate. I can't stand it when people make their emotions everybody else's problem. Thank you for your insight!

[CaveyMoth]

I'm an INFP, and I express a lot of emotion; Way too much emotion! I'm like a little kid! I just want to be kind and make other people feel happy. Acting robotic and emotionless seems rude to me.
