I'm so early that no one has commented the timestamps yet

INTP- Emotionally intelligent enough to know they're not good with emotions.

I’ve realized as an INFJ that I often prioritize others over myself, somewhat to a fault. I feel guilty taking time to just relax or invest in myself or simply to do something out of the ordinary for myself. It’s definitely frustrating. Thanks for the video FJ. I appreciate the content.

I'm so happy that you talked about the stereotypes around Thinkers and Feelers. Too many times people think Thinkers are a**holes or that Feelers are naturally empaths and can comfort you, which is not true, it's a case by case situation. Very informative video!

My son (the INFJ) has been a dungeon master for a successful dungeons and dragons group for the past 3 years. Also he belongs to another d and d group in which he is just a player but he has held that one together as well. He has an enormous amount of emotional intelligence, he can read ppl like no one's business and he really knows how to handle them. I am frankly in awe of his ability to manage disparate groups.

Regarding INFPs
- Self-awareness: High, we’re so introspective it’s probably one of our strongest suits. However, our emotions are so complex they might be difficult to pinpoint.

- Self-regulation: Really depends, I’ve heard from both extremes. Personally I struggle a lot with this one, specially with sadness. But some are masters of their emotions.

- Empathy: High, we tend to always want to understand others and help them and we’re also good at it mostly. I get what FJ says about true empathy tho, most of the time we use our own experiences and emotions as our means of understanding.

- Social skills: Not great, we’re predominantly conflict avoidant and good mediators; but we’re also bad at communicating things in a way others will understand.

- Motivation: Bad, we get motivated but it dies down quickly and we stuggle to see our projects through.

I'm an ENFP, I'm also an emotional mess.
Yet somehow, I'm good with dealing with other people's emotions.
Which makes me even more emotionally messy.
It's a paradox.

As an INTJ this literally is important cuz I tend to actually empathize with many people, and when others find that I am a TJ they are shocked cuz of the stereotypes I get, most feeler types I grew up around hardly have ever compassion for anyone and I am so happy you addressed that elephant in the room Frank. Most of my Feeler relatives wouldn't think for a second to exploit one another if it meant preserving their image, unlike me who's just not only straightforward but nice to people and I am someone who loves to serve others, and although I as an INTJ have the ability to make anyone my puppets it's just not in me to do so(there are some INTJ fictional characters that do but others that are the complete opposite). It really goes to show that emotional intelligence is essential regardless of what type you are, a logical thinking type with emotional intelligence is a lot more important than a feeler type who has 0 compassion for others and doesn't love anyone accept themselves, once again thanks for making this video Frank James🤗🙏🏾.

As an infp I empathize with others even those without my moral stance . This has increased as I’ve gotten older . But sometimes often I feel I’m on a tightrope trying to balance my empathy for those on both sides of the situation . Sometimes you have to choose a side no matter how difficult it may be

[trinaq]

As a commonly misunderstood INFJ, I find it tricky to figure out if my emotions are really mine, or if I'm simply projecting other people's feelings, yet again.

[elleenoel]

That actually makes sense. I'm an INTJ, but I grew up with my parents regularly asking me about how much I talked to people and what I said, and frequently telling me how I could improve. I'm not always great at picking up on subtle signs of others' emotions, but I can usually just use logic to figure out how they will most likely react. My only real struggle is with knowing what I need to DO to make people feel better.

[jennifercarter]

Maybe I’m not indicative of the TP types (INTP specifically) but I came to the conclusion in my early 20s that people’s emotions are a key variable I have to account for in any situation and I needed to figure out how to utilize my core strengths to 1) not alienate others when I need them involved and 2) get them back into whatever I needed them to be doing (that sounds terrible but I learned this as a new manager). I have found that I’m actually very good at listening actively and distinguishing between when someone wants to be heard vs have a problem they want help fixing. I’ve also found that my disinclination towards emotional displays myself helps to lower the overall level of emotion. I can absorb a LOT. I had to learn some ‘scripted’ language to validate people’s emotions and I’ve learned whether and when to ask ‘how can I help?’ And if they want advice, I give it. If they just want to vent, I listen and if they want to go out for drinks after work my schedule is usually clear and I just agree to it and suggest a place with a patio that isn’t overwhelming. It’s not super hard. After a bit of practice it’s no more of a chore than feeding my cats.

You FJ's are so caring & kind! ENFP here - I tend to empathize easily, but I do get overwhelmed with my own stuff.

[cloink_]

love this new style where there is both fun and knowledge that comes along with clear examples

Thanks frank for putting subtitles in the video:)

I'm a FP and I met a person who has completely different values then me but somehow we became friends and I could empathize with them even when I completely disagreed with them

[Mmm.]

I'm an INFP, and yes I'm so aware of my own feelings. BUT others' too.. It's not like we can't understand others' feeling or deal with em. It's just that when making decisions we prioritize ours.. Even if we are aware of how the person in front of us would feel.
Mature INFP will live up to their values, so if you value friendship then you're gonna considerate your friends' feelings. You're not sacrificing yourself here, cuz you're already living up to one of your values which is making your friends feel safe, respected, and heard.

English isn't my first language so I hope you can get it.

Mr. Marmalade, thanks for clearing this up. Some of the nicest people I know are "thinking types." They have amazing EI and use it masterfully!

[StephanieJeanne]

Very important information here. It's true for this FJ type that I can struggle with my own feelings and knowing what the correct course of action is or whether I'm really feeling my own feelings.

That said, I think it can be on a spectrum. Some have developed it better than others and may use it more skillfully. Thanks, Frank. 😊✌️
