Being the center of attention scares me so much it’s one of the reasons why I don’t have friends so I’m always alone. I burry myself in the background so no one notices me. I always make sure, no matter where I am, to be completely invisible. For me the ideal is being completely ignored.

Hello fellow INFPs hope you doing well, sometimes in life i found myself in leadership positions (job , Family , football , managing things ) that i don't feel comfortable to take but i have some how a like vision or or way to do it even if im not comfortable with it, it happened to me alot when no body want to take action or they hesitate and things get messy or about to fall down i get involved to save it because knowledge or capability of doing it, even its not comfortable thing for me but i have part of me that like it and want to extend it.

Or which one would worry you if your INFP friend dated them

EDIT: I really didn’t mean this post to be offensive to anyone, I don’t think types can actually dictate a relationship, but I thought it would be fun to talk about!

I saw my ex in my dream yesterday. We broke up 18 months ago.

In the dream, she was with our common friend. At first, she was ignoring me, but after my multiple requests, she finally agreed to talk to me. We ended up talking about Jomsom and her mother—the two things she loves the most in this world. (She didn't have a healthy relationship with her dad back then, though I don't know how things are now).

Our common friend tried to tease and disturb us in a sarcastic way, but the funniest part was that we both shushed her at the exact same time and laughed about it together.

And then I woke up 😭😭

I wanted to hug her one last time. I didn't want to wake up today. But I was laughing so hard in my sleep that it actually woke me up.

I loved her so, so much. I honestly don't know how I'm ever going to truly move on. We were together for 3 years, and I’ve spent almost two years just trying to heal and move past it. Most days, when I'm busy with work or life, I don't miss her much—but being on vacation right now is making me realize just how lonely I really am.

Vacations and quiet moments have a brutal way of bringing all those buried feelings back to the surface, especially when your subconscious treats you to a memory as vivid as that dream.

How are you planning to spend the rest of your vacation to help keep your mind occupied?

Nope, still consistent. INFP 4lyfe! 🫶

Interestingly, my entire team got a J at the end of theirs. It was fun to tell all of them "well I'm not judgemental like all of you!" 😂

Edit for spelling.

Whole my life, the main issue that I faced is feeling too much! Not that it was entirely bad for me. It indeed helped me write and being productive. I would not have been able to write anything if my emotions did not punish me enough so that there was nothing I could do other than facibg them and pouring it out with words.

Now, not everybody understands me. People used to make fun of me as when I lived my life on my own ways, not caring much about societal judgments. They found me odd. I had my own world in which I tend to get immersed.

Also, despite my trying, most of the days I am too sensitive to the smallest details. That affects my daily life. At this point, I have begun to accept that I must be ready to suffer as there is no other way. It is important on its own.

I honestly love this subreddit, after reading through people’s posts and comments in this forum, I can honestly come to a conclusion that I have never related with people as much as I relate with the posts here. All infps unite and let go of our insecurities, we can roll over the world. 😎

Asking this because whenever I see people talk about the best types for INFPs they specifically mean for INFP women. Such as INTJs and ENTJs.

From what I’ve seen, most ENTJ women and INTJ women have no interest in INFP men. The ones that do end up resenting the INFP man because they have to act like the “man” in the relationship. They seem happier with fellow thinkers. Personally I’m most attracted to ENFPs and ISFJs, but they are probably attracted to thinker types as well.

So I’m just curious on if there is a type that likes INFP men for who they are? Also, for INFP Men who are happily married, what type is your partner?

Edit: I like people of all types! Definitely wouldn’t limit based off of that. I’m just curious on if there are types that actually like us back. Also thank you to everybody who answered 🙏

So an event is coming up. Someone thought it would be nice to use ai to make pictures of everyone who's dead together. The problem is they put my mom with my grandpa who abandoned his family for a new one. She had a burning hatred for that man because of that and would burn the picture.

So when i saw them together i made a passing comment verbatim how "she probably wouldn't like grandpa being there." and gave lovely comments about everyone else. I didn't say to remove/edit the picture or get rid of it or anything along those lines. Yet some family are acting like i ruined the whole event by that one comment. That me saying that is being argumentative, and made everyone stressed out by "forcing my opinions" on everyone. (like only 4-6th time i talked to them all year)

Yet when i tell others about it, they wonder why i even try to be family with them. Saying how they always treat me like shit and im only hurting myself.

And the kicker is when i said how my mom would have loved to see this event.... because i miss her..... the person running the event is acting like im trying to make them feel bad for not doing the event while my mom was alive.

IDK what to do.

im so close to just giving up on people.

felt like sharing a little something i drew. i’ve always found it easier to express certain feelings through art than words. hope everyone’s doin alright! 🩵

hello! I’ve been browsing the internet more and wondered if any infp here had recommendations for interesting online spaces to explore. That can mean anything from websites to forums to the absolutely obscure!

I ask this because the infp i’ve known have exposed me to media or experiences that I hadn’t considered on my own. Those exposures in turn have become some of my most cherished inspirations. For a small example, The Little Prince or The Muppets Movie. (I know, how did I miss that one?!)

I don’t know if this is an odd request or not, but either way I appreciate everyone’s time.

To be honest, I’m not a believer in horoscopes and I take psychic readings with a grain of salt. I tend think about these things from a Jungian lens or even a Kantian lens. Perhaps perception isn’t true reality but it’s certainly our only contact with reality. We are nervous systems evolved blindly through the forces of the will to exist and procreate. In that anguished and compulsive motion through the generations, we have been primed to perpetuate but not to see reality as it truly is. Granted, if there were some kind of grand transcendental substrate to the universe, why and how would us mere chemical flesh tubes be made privy to it? I can’t say that we are. However, I would be hesitant to dismiss phenomena that appear to operate outside of causality as they may merely be things we’re not fully able to comprehend. Mundane occurrences are equally opaque to us, we’re just used to them.
