INFPs: How To Make It In This World | Not Sugar Coated

If you’re new to Geek Psychology, my name is Matt Sherman. People call me Sherman. I'm a personality type expert, life coach, hypnotist, author, podcaster, and course creator. I help mainly INFPs embrace their unique strengths and navigate life's challenges. Through practical strategies and deep insights, I aim to help people like you live a more fulfilling and authentic live where you can wake up and feel good about who you are and your impact on the world. There are several key areas of life that trickle-down to impact your current struggles (and successes). In this video, I'm speaking to anyone that wants to fix their life, but I've directed it at INFPs who feel like they can't make it in this world - like the world is only for xSTJs and it's not fair. I tell you what you "need to do" with love and appreciation for your struggle because I've been through it too. Of course, it's your choice, but I hope you accept this "logical levels" model by Robert Dilts with all its power and influential ability to change your life.

I understand the feeling. As an INFP myself, I've ran into the common obstacles like... "Just get a 9-5 job like everyone else." "Suck it up." "How you feel doesn't matter." "Work isn't supposed to be fun." "Life isn't supposed to be fun." "INFPs don't have talents meant for this world." etc.

But there are things you can do to make yourself happier, and healthier physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Once again, this is a new format I'm fiddling with, but I hope it helps!

My biggest problem is getting out of my own head and actually doing things. We INFP's are great at thinking things but suck at carrying them out. It's so much simpler just to stay in the bubble and forget the real world.

I am an INFP and feel like I never fit in... I have a few close friends and I feel great with them but most of the time I feel like i’m not part of any group because they’re not my type and yeah, I just feel weird, does anyone else feel like this ?

Edit: omg thank you guysss, i’ve never looked back at my comment and I’m so happy with all the replies <333

An INFP here.. having a broken "INFP" day... you know what I mean. Disconnected and struggling... so it feels nice to have stumbled upon your video. Thank you

[ohno]

Not gonna lie, I accidentally daydreamed through most of this... I should rewatch this... but I don’t wanna now :(

[sashamotovylets]

Having a daily routine, especially morning routine, helped me tremendously as an INFP. Sure I don’t follow it every single day, but I follow it on most days. And when I do, I am a lot happier. A cure for INFl is action. Figure out what it takes to get yourself to take action.

Tips to succeed as an INFP:
1. Clean your room.
2. Take a bath every day (probably the hardest one)
3. Brush your teeth every day.
4. Eat on time and eat healthy.
5. Talk to someone every day.
6. Read a book every day (probably the easiest one)

Found this on the INFP subreddit. I can't bother to link the post I'm too lazy for that

As an INFP, I sometimes feel like a spectator in the sidelines of a tennis match, but my gaze doesn't follow the ball. Everybody else does, heads going back and forth. I am just enjoying the fresh air, observing people, my mind having its own ball game. At times, I feel out of place in this crowd. What the hell am I doing here?

Soon thirty and still struggle to choose my path. Interested in so much, can’t decide if I should become a carpenter, psychologist, marine biologist, artist etc. So hard goddamnit 😭😂

Your voice is refreshingly comforting. It feels calming in the face of a noisy world.

What exactly is that thing that INFPs have in common that makes us feel disqualified from the world? It's so powerful.

[your_spirit_guide]

As an INFP, I am often misunderstood by my family and friends. Some of them called me a good for nothing even though they are not living life with integrity themselves. People often determine a person’s worth by their achievements and net worth, but not living a life of purpose and meaning

[jandeligans]

This was exactly what I needed to hear today. Thank you! I'm a 71 year old INFP who has spent my whole life trying to fit myself into the societal dictates. And then always wondering why I never could stick to anything for more than about 3 years until I would have a major shake-up and change everything. Only to repeat. I finally see that my INFP nature was never acknowledged or appreciated. I did believe that I was uniquely flawed maybe permanently depressed and definitely overly emotional. No more for me. I will be authentic no matter what. It's all about balance isn't it?

[nayelimeansiloveyou]

Dreaming is so much easier than dealing with reality and sometimes I feel like it's driving me insane. But it's relieving to know that I'm not the only one feeling this way.

[Fuar]

We aren't made for this world. But the world is made for us.

"The more you fail the more you learn." This is powerful.

as an infp I’ve always had trouble following schedules and routines, I despise them, they make me feel constrained and controlled whereas I like to feel free, this always ends up in me being behind in almost everything I do, I’m hoping to change this bcs I finally have a goal I want to work hard for
