🦄 Why INFPs Feel Like Outcasts 

Not easy. Never will be. I think all types have their "not easy" domains. Ours are just highlighted often. Maybe it's a sign that the world wants us to find a way to make it work out.

@@GeekPsychology Thank you. In other words, carve out our own life-path. I get that.

Thanks for sharing!! That's a great question that your therapist asked! It was... something... idk if gold is the right term for it lol

Your drawings are great ^^ If it makes you and others feel good, I don't think you or anyone could consider it a waste.

We definitely have a unique blend of it.

yeah mine too :o

Great to have you here and hear that you're on the journey! It's about time!

Wonderfully put and it really sounds like a parallel to my journey as well. ✨

I would like to give a MASSIVE thank you for leaving a comment here. This just made me cry so hard I've literally not cried in what feels like my entire life. The last time I think I cried this hard was probably when I was 7 (if we aren't counting the last time I cried very hard over a TV show 3 years ago). I'm so incredibly proud of you for being able to pursue your dreams to the fullest and to become exactly what you believe you were born to do. Is there anywhere that I could see, read, listen to some of your work? I would love to check it out! This resonated with me so much because I have also been thinking a lot about getting myself a vocal coach. Music helped me get out of my own darkest world. I was stuck in it for what felt like an eternity. I have probably made more progress in the last 3 years than I did in the rest of my entire (almost) 20 years of living on this Earth. That's why I feel like I have to become the greatest version of myself, and why I'm almost certain that I want to pursue music for the rest of my life. I wasn't sure yet as I have only just discovered about my personality type 3 months ago, but after reading your comment, I think I had some sort of moment of clarity. I already feel like so much has happened in the last 3 months, as I very recently had an awakening of sort, where I almost suddenly started living life in the moment, gained immense focus, stopped overthinking, and almost all my anxiety had left my body. It was literally like a miracle, I can't explain it with mere words. I'm having another breakdown right as I write this. Skip a good 5 minutes, I just came back to my computer after crying even harder, so much that I momentarily couldn't breathe and right now my hands are shaking. Sorry if this is cringey for you to read, I'm not going to let myself overthink anymore and not give credit where it is due, over my own insecurity. One of the other reasons why this made me cry is that I couldn't help but start thinking about all the other INFPs out there who are currently living their worst nightmare, and thinking there's something wrong with them, with nobody there to give them a big warm hug. Either because they literally have nobody, or they might be too shy to open up to anyone about the struggles they're going through, perhaps even their own parents (and I say that from my own personal experience, I have barely ever told them anything). I just broke down again as I was writing this. Anyways, I'm aware that we like to repeat ourselves excessively, it feels like no amount of words could possibly emphasise how deeply we feel so I'm just going to stop talking about that now. Thank you for helping me bring out a life time worth of pent-up emotion, you have no idea how much I felt like I needed it but couldn't get myself to do it. I recently learnt one of my first ever songs off by heart (even though it's mostly in Korean and I don't know it). I will continue to learn singing/rapping my favourite songs, and expanding in all areas of music so that I can feel alive and maybe one day I can make it 🙌 I think I realise now, that the only way to succeed, is to embrace that "weirdness". May God bless you, your family, and friends, and from the bottom of my seemingly broken heart, I wish you the absolute best and endless growth. Please never stop being you, and I know you will fulfil your deepest dreams and desires ❤😊

A vivid imagination is a blessing.

lol. There’s always a way!

Hi, friend. I know exactly how you feel. I think being an INFP meshes very well with spirituality, but the kind that emphasizes a relationship with God. I've never identified with religion that emphasizes rules, tradition, etc. Not that those things are bad in and of themselves. It's good to have tradition. But to have tradition without love - that's the bad part. Anyways, God bless you. ❤️

@@aninfphilosophy God bless you too, dear sister 🙏💕 Thank you for your insight 😊 May God be with you through all your steps~

People can be surprisingly helpful! And we go further with the help of others... but I understand the hesitation as well...

Interesting mindset! I think it could work with a lot of people who want to make an impact / take control.

You're so welcome! Lots of options, just gotta do them long enough to see which you gravitate towards. ^^

Why a tiny little corner? Why not a big spacious beach, for example, that you can call your own? 😃

You'll get it :) Just gotta find your tribe and embrace them.

Those are great comments! Make sure you really take them to heart as motivation and continue to make those have more weight than anything else that others might say.

@@GeekPsychology thanks for your reply. And thank you for your great content. The internet Is a wonderful thing for sensitive people like us when it's hard to find like-minded individuals in the real world.

Hi! As a writer, what do you write about and where do you express/ publish them? I'm still searching for a platform/ outlet that I can stick with for years.

@@Andy-wt3qo I understand that my comment reads like I'm already writing and publishing stuff. Actually, no. I'm doing baby steps, since I'm still struggling with depression. So what I meant to say was that I was at that time working on expressing myself verbally in spoken language and that I was using my classes for that. I'm still not close to being a writer. I journal a lot but I wouldn't say that my writing skills are good enough to write a book. I still don't know my own voice. So that's why I decided to work on my communication skills first.

@@juliz2500 Makes sense ☺️ I wish you all the best, and am excited for your endeavours. Baby steps are good. Keep it up and stay strong.

"box of horrors" -- wow! I like that one. It's all about accessing the state through breathing / physiology / mindset... but going to that state is something I've strived so hard to NOT do, that doing it intentionally seems tricky.

⁠@@GeekPsychologyI manage to still create while on antidepressants. My work is less dark - but as imaginative.

Thanks for the donation! Sounds like you’ve found a great place to work! Is the type of work also good for your INFP personality type? No, it’s not. It’s Hanson - Mmmbop

@@GeekPsychology Aah, yes now I remember that song! About my job, I work with students with disabilities by helping them to get academic accommodations. I also proctor exams and do academic coaching. It's great to work at a college with the students because I get to serve others and I can listen to people talk about their problems (big and small). As an INFP, I usually don't quickly find solutions to problems, but I do like to listen, and I think the students notice and appreciate that.

:D even after 830+ videos it still happens sometimes!

^^ thanks a bunch!

Yes: Sensors tend not to connect abstract (intangible) dots, and thus dismiss out of hand what iNtuitives perceive. I long ago thought of writing a book titled: "How to Be an Enn in an Ess World". My longtime best friend is an INFP (while I am an INTJ); we speak the same abstract/intuitive language. Even if we strongly disagree on specific issues, we at least can understand each other.

an isfp?

how's that working out for ya?

Nothing wrong with that... Can be grounding 😉 (INFP married to an ISFJ for 14 years)

@@GeekPsychology, it has its challenges. Conflict and misunderstanding happens over my career outlook. She views things from a more concrete, practical, and “what works” mindset. Authenticity isn’t really considered. I approach it from a more “what I’m good at” and “what feels right perspective”, but unfortunately this eliminates lots of conventional career paths, so we have clashes.

😂

@@GeekPsychology Sorry, but I’m a bit of an Outcast fan. lol

I think it'd be great for you to get back into doing the blog! Play around with creativity and self-expression-- especially as an INFP.

@@GeekPsychology 👍👍👍👍👍👍 Thank you Matt. Looking forward for it...😊😊😊

😂

I didn't follow it much, but didn't it end up that she was a crazy liar and causing tons of provoking issues? I mean... she took a poo in his bed, right? #completelysane

@@GeekPsychology 😆

I don’t understand what you mean He is an amazing talented, attentive, and generous person, who also stood his ground when film production companies wanted to make a product out of him and stood up for his reputation.

@@julia.no.X Love your loyalty. Johnny's career was over, due to years of drug and alcohol abuse that has rendered him difficult to work with, and Amber Heard's Op-Ed piece on domestic violence and abuse. But winning his case in the US may have turned his options around for more Pirate movie roles. As well, he has been near bankruptcy due to out of control spending sprees, and needing a staff to manage his obligations and party lifestyle. Johnny's popularity in the US biased the jury. Similar to yourself.

​​​​​@@m2pozad Yes, I am partial. I won't deny it. I most likely wouldn't have made it into the jury, but I watched the whole of the trial and if you're impartial you'll see who is the guilty party. However, all this is irrelevant to your initial comment. I don't think that people will go around choosing their partners based on the type from get go, or would care what type Johnny Depp is. As far as his success and career is concerned, even if he'd been left penniless or had never produced anything from now on, he has impacted the world with his talent. And for goodness' sake people retire when 60, he might as well do that. As for his employees managing his finances - that is why he has those professionals because that's their expertise. He is an actor and not a financier. As for his lifestyle - that's his personal business what he does and how he spends the money he's earned.

You go 🦄! I'm like a cat, but I don't know how to make those small cute pictures.

heard it before?

@@GeekPsychology yupp I always talk to myself that i gotta act like im normal 🥹✌️
