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. Hey there, Sherman here from Geek Psychology, your go-to INFP guide on a mission to help you understand the unique facets of your personality and spark your journey towards self-development.

In this deep dive, I'm sharing not just the seven stereotypes that follow INFPs like shadows but also unveiling seven lesser-known, profound aspects of our personality that often remain hidden beneath the surface. From our emotional intensity and creative passion to our inner moral compass and unique way of connecting with others, I'm laying it all out on the table.
As an INFP myself, I've journeyed through the realms of intense emotions, battled the urge to become a 'robot,' and reveled in the chaotic creativity that defines us. But beyond that, I've discovered the immense power of our authenticity, loyalty, and innovative problem-solving skills - especially in times of crisis (Yakuza altercation, anyone?).
Join me as we explore the rich internal world of INFPs, our struggles with practical matters, and how we thrive in life's simple pleasures and chaotic situations alike. Whether you're an INFP looking to understand yourself better or just curious about the depth of this personality type, you're in the right place.

The best way for me to describe an INFP is "Still waters run deep " I think they encapsulate this motto .

"INFPs Thrive in Chaos" i can relate so hard with the yakuza story. i, as an INFP, felt my whole life strangely calm in dangerous situations. to make my stories short. i got threatend with a knife right in front my stomuch. i was about 16 y/o there, i just got robbed 20 bucks. but i was pretty calm about it, while my friend was deeply shocked afterwards and while it happened. same friend different story with 2 addicts that were both way older than us. we were about 20 y/o. my friend did stupid decisions. i was again very calm, even when they threatened us multiple times in subtle ways, to stab our eyes out and stuff. on the right moment, i just said to my friend "run". i grabed his arm and ran as fast as i could, and somehow i had fun :D. i talked with my friend, so he calms down. the addicts were just 2 randoms, so they don't know anything about us. that meant we were safe. maybe cuz of this. plus many other factors. i am so drawn to skateboarding :D. calculated chaos combined with an hobby what strangely activates my passion towards it. i ask myself so often, why a skateboard. such a simple thing. can bring me so incredible much joy :D. now i can atleast roughly tell, why things are how they are for me personally. for reference, i am a 29 y/o male now but i think the most important thing is: myers briggs tests are indicators. not set rules. peace

"INFPs thrive in chaos" No wonder... well, i do well when i'm under pressure *most of the time* but not all the time, i heavily dislike it when it's revolving around *me* and i have to solve *my* own problem, but i can solve other problems no problem

I hear you on the robot thing. At one point I felt like my emotions were so strong that the only way to function was to repress them.

I feel you. The only problem is that it doesn't pan out very well, and things started to improve significantly after I had torn the walls down that I had constructed around my Fi.

When I was a kid I made my parents recycle and have a special closet for it. I’m 53 now so recycling wasn’t popular. I drove them crazy and gave them heartfelt lectures 😂 Now my kids have to deal with it

ENFP here: Beautiful! Thank you for allowing me to understand the INFPs more. Personally, when I spend time with INFPs, they have a way of calming my chaotic world and helping me live with my emotions. Also, I find it very interesting that your aunt is an ISFP. My aunt is an ESFP.....

I gained a lot from my ENFP friend as well, in terms of getting out of my shell and more into my extraverted intuition ^^

@toothdecay2465 4 месяца назад

Your comment on thriving in times of chaos resonated with me. It made me reflect on some times where that has been true for me. Years ago, I was trained as a workplace medic. I was amazed at how much people panic in accident scenes, but I was almost serene, directing people to assist and otherwise doing what I was trained to do.

@GeekPsychology 4 месяца назад

Glad to hear! Interesting profession. The calm is kind of zen-like weird, isn’t it? I actually under react imo…

@christy1555 3 месяца назад

I’m an infp and I thrive as a medic! I love the chaos and unknown next adventure and I care about the ppl I take care (but able to partition my mind when it gets really bad). And I enjoy only having one coworker to talk and get to know for the 12 hr shift and not be bombarded with multiple coworkers and emotions to figure out and can have good conversations with ppl I otherwise would not approach.

@kilppari78 5 месяцев назад

About 7:50 "powerful moral compass". We were clearing the office kitchen pre-renovation. I was watching my collegues dumping perfectly usefull stuff into a big trash bin. I recovered a few nice items (i.e. a couple of glass vases). Then I stood there watching for a brief moment and said "I need to go away from here 'cos otherwise I'll end up salvaging half of the stuff you're throwing away." And I left. 🙈 /INFP

@GeekPsychology 4 месяца назад

For good and bad, yes. If I had to, I’m sure I could call some people for support, but that would definitely be the last resort. I have some friends / acquaintances that got tangled up in that stuff and it is not good. But hey, I do think it’s good to have a bunch of interesting life stories.

@@GeekPsychology It’s just hard when certain high-volume ways of being in the world are encouraged or seemingly celebrated while different, quieter ways are ignored or casually criticized. And even though ppl say you shouldn’t care what others think, it’s human nature to want to fit in, to care what your close ones think…and it’s even essential to fit in at work. As an INFP, this daily compensation is tiring and leaves me a bit sad to feel out of place nearly everywhere. So this video was like a drink of fresh, cool water I didn’t know I needed. It’s invaluable to hear about the things I love about myself framed in a positive way. You described my experience of moving through the world so perfectly that I was reminded that what I often see as weaknesses to hide are actually strengths to be enjoyed. Thank you!! 💕

1000 % все правильно.. "Крестовый поход" )) верно подмечено..Я где то в глубине души понимаю что тот вариант событий который сейчас предлагают - возможно в какой то мере будет лучшим выходом для всего человечества ..Но вот сломать себя , даже убедить себя в этом не могу...Это как разрушить свое первоначальное " Я" и построить что то новое но для этого нужен фундамент состоящий из неоспоримых ценностей .Что почти невозможно сейчас сделать..

What have you found that is helpful to stop the repetitive loop?

@MissLlewella 5 месяцев назад

@@GeekPsychology I let myself enjoy it some time, let it go, I enjoy it, it was fun dreamy thoughts, and I let go and do daily tasks. With more ease on myself I have less difficulties on it, and as I grew older I got more ease on myself and appreciation, I let myself dream or vizualize or loop, and am more active and functioning and more healthy at the same time.

Weird question, but I'm just curious -- what do you think about Star Wars - The Last Jedi? Specifically, the controversy surrounding Luke's characterization... None of it is out of character if Luke is an INFP. Is that weird? I mean.... In "A New Hope," Luke Skywalker is an INFP. In "The Empire Strikes Back," Luke Skywalker is an INFP. In "Return of the Jedi," Luke Skywalker is an INFP. In "The Mandalorian/Filoni-Verse," Luke Skywalker is an INFP. In "The Force Awakens," Luke Skywalker is an INFP. In "The Last Jedi," Luke Skywalker is an INFP.
