What I hate about being INFP is bottling up all the negative stuff until it's too much. Any time something my friend/family does irritates me I just say to myself 'Nah it's not enough for an argument' but then there is like 50 situations like this in my mind, someone forgets to put milk back to the fridge and the fury begins

[carrikartes]

INFPs can be excellent organizers. Especially for other people, but they struggle to maintain that level of organization, because there are so many new interests and priorities popping up all the time.

[loocydity]

As an INFP, I try to NOT hate people. I may dislike some people but I certainly don't hate them, because hate is truly a powerful word. When I hate someone, I literally become the coldest person they'll ever know. I become so uncaring to the point I don't care if anything and I'll say it again, ANYTHING, happened to them.

While usually it makes me feel sick when I ignore ppl, but for these people I hate, I could give zero flying fcks even when they need me.

What I find most confusing about being an INFP is that I am both immensely accepting of other people and very much unwilling to meddle in their lives and opinions AND very judgemental of values and behaviours that don't fit in with my idealism. It's such a weird combo.

[naneneunmalklug]

An INFP knows how a relationship will start, develop, grow, break apart, reconvene and shatter into a million beautifully sad and melancholic pieces and already mourn this loss, before they spoke the very first word to their crush. That's why we hide who we dream about.

[mikescan]

It’s nice to see so many fellow INFPs writing comments… and then not having instant regret and deleting it. That’s another secret thing we tend to do isn’t it?

[mariairena]

its scary after i found out that i’m an infp my whole life started giving sense. and my behavior and thoughts were based of my personality. i’m so shock i fit in the infp box so perfectly, and i am happy to see that im not alone :, ) finally

[RenkoBocchi]

When someone bullied me, they don't know I've killed them 34 different times already (inside my head)

[SoniaJbrt]

For me, as an INFP, it's this thing that, if I studied a subject of conversation and someone disagree with me, there's no getting around it. I'm always right if I know what I'm talking about. But I have learned to just keep my mouth shut when people disagree.

[alinamazhar]

As an INFP, "I've noticed that when requests are made in a positive and respectful tone, I'm more inclined to comply. However, if instructions come across as commanding or aren't delivered in a manner I find agreeable, I tend to resist. Additionally, I find that I thrive on appreciation and encouragement. When I receive recognition for my efforts, I feel motivated to excel. Conversely, criticism can often impact my confidence negatively, making it harder for me to perform at my best. Instead, constructive feedback presented kindly helps me address areas for improvement without diminishing my self-assurance."

[stephieann]

I actually remember ignoring one older bully for months until she took the key to girls' changing room after PE and laughingly decided to not give it back, so we'd be late for classes and stay in PE clothes. I came up to her with literal murderous intent in my eyes, stood in front of her for a few moments and she did give it back without a fight. Bullying stopped right after. I was ready to scratch her eyes out in that moment and I guess she knew it.

[hikarii]

Everything is accurate omg, especially the they avoid people they hate, when angry they're aggressive, and that they never forget the bad things you did to them. I avoid people I really hate, I basically treat them as if they don't exist, to the point that the person even feels strong hatred back to me(I don't care tho, I hate them anyways). I have high tolerance from bad things that people do to me and even when I feel like I'm about to burst, I could still control it. But when I burst out, I have all things planned on how I'm gonna burst this bubble. I also never forget how a person treated me badly, those are ingrained on the back of my head and they stack. Although if a person is genuinely asking for forgiveness, I forgive them.

[nickolaszissimos]

INFPs and us INFJs do have some similarities. I have met an INFP before and I loved speaking with her. Her intelligence and spontaneousness intrigued me immensely and she actually understood me mostly, as I understood her completely. It felt good to have a like minded person to talk to.

[parinigam]

It's so accurate, I hate conflicts and I avoid people I don't like but that doesn't mean I can't stand up for myself. I've become a very discerning and detached person. You can be my bestest friend in the world but the moment you do me wrong I WILL act like you don't exist. I don't like getting into fights but when I do I can expose your truth to yourself that you thought you were being sneaky about. Each point is so damn accurate!!

So, INFP reaction to anything remotely stressful; Avoid, walk away, ignore.
Yeah, thats pretty much how ive handled things previously in my life. BUT I do believe now - knowing myself a little better - that the cost of always handling things that way is greater than actually facing the stressful situations/people/emotions when they appear.

[RabbitHoleDiaries]

As an older INFP - I have no issues addressing a bully or someone not behaving in a "just" manner towards me or someone I care about. Not every person is ready or every situation is appropriate for that kind of directness, though, so I often choose to stay silent or find another direction. For the most egregious offenders I encounter - it's a lot like the quote I saw on a shirt yesterday: "I'm going to let God handle it...because if I handle it, I'm going to jail."

[trickyjeans]

As a turbulent INFP, this is so true to me. Like, EVERY SINGLE POINT. Especially the forgiving portion. If someone did wrong me, I'd shrug it off and forgive them sincerely. But yeah... I won't easily forget what they did, which would make me a little cautious around them next time.

One great thing about being an INFP is that I love growing. If there's an area in my life that needs work, I do my best to improve. Haha, even if that will result in tears for like HALF THE PROCESS.

[timtabor]

Not sure how secret this is, but I have heard that INFPs typically have at least one thing that they keep very organized, despite being somewhat chaotic in many other areas. For me, it is my music collection and book shelves. I have music organized alphabetically, but then chronologically. So the last album by (for example) ZZ Top would be found at the bottom right corner of my CDs.

I think humour and lightheartedness is so important for infp because there’s so much darkness and heaviness that we/I hold. Even though it won’t help us escape from ourselves in present situations, maybe over time, the light will spread and take over!!🤞
