As an INTJ (male) of an INFP wife, it's totally exciting to see how she thinks about the world. Before the MBTI system, it was hard for me to understand how to get through the world without fixed goals (generally speaking from the perspective of an INTJ). Learned a lot here. We are a complicated combination which, if used correctly, can help both sides. Thank you 🙏
As an INFP in a seemingly unending, frustrating and stress-inducing job search, your videos really help give me a little hope when I feel so lost in this world. Thank you 💖
I'm in the age where choosing a right career can be the most significant thing. At first I was very scared and confused. But gradually I tried to know more about different career lines, I've found one that's my Infp self is liking. This video was very helpful ❤ To all my dear INFPs , I wanna tell u don't be afraid of failures, leave self-doubt and start taking small steps towards your future. We all can make a big difference to the world.
Isn't this weird that I am in the midst of trying to find out what to do and branching out to what to learn next besides having one particular set of skills which is having a diploma in IT/tech. Been trying out new things since I'm on a career break for a few months now and intend to pursue further studies. Currently am learning in some accelerated diploma course in retail studies and before this, spend a few months earning Microsoft certifications, while awaiting for university admission results. Could say I'm endlessly seeking out new things to learn everyday to see what sparks my interest and having a proper careers that i am comfortable with at the end of the day. Transitioning from a Turbulent INFP (INFP-T) to an Assertive INFP (INFP-A) a couple months back (at least 6 moths back), i can say personally say I am more confident and having less self doubt within me. I am proud of how far i've come and achieve and to more experiences and things to learn in the future. Failures and setbacks are just a redirection for where we should use the energy on and how to make things better as compared to thinking about the negatives all the time. Proud to be an INFP!
At the age of 36 I've decided to try out being a crafts teacher (wood/metal working). I realized that for me to be creative, or should I say productive with my creativity, I often need someone behind me to encourage. Knowing that those people are hard to come by and isn't always there I will give it a shot to be that person to other people!
For me, I believe it is better to put your eggs into a basket. Throughout life, I've taken many paths which helped build lots of different skills, however I was unfulfilled because I ignored my calling. I believe it is important not to compromise yourself / happiness to please others. Now I'm working towards that path. However, never stop learning.
6:41 oh my god, this is totally spot on lol im dealing with this problem lately, the total burned out in the work that i'm doing now that i cant even get back to it anymore😢 until now, the work havent finish yet but im working on it. Even the process is slow. Btw thank you for the video! Believe it or not, your videos really help a lot in understanding myself better. Very inspiring, so thank you❤ i wish you success too in eveything you do!
This video was very intersting! I'm currently 16 years old and really trying to figure out what I want to do in the future. I'll do my best to keep various options open!
Hey! I noticed you said you prefer to nurture strengths, opposed to patching weaknesses. Can you dive deeper into that thought, because honestly I’m not totally sure if I agree with that. I’m definitely more of a soft spoken and sensitive person at equilibrium and I joined the military (voluntarily) to work on the aspects of myself I knew were lacking. The idea of a trial by fire of sorts swam through my head. And it has definitely had an impact on many aspects of my life. I did my time and got out but I learned a lot about speaking directly, when to be direct vs indirect especially. I don’t know. I would just say that forcing myself into a profession that didn’t play toward my strengths of empathy and creativity helped me grow (for reference I was a combat engineer, basically infantry that is trained in explosives). Now that I’m out I feel like I have a much more well rounded perspective and it lets me interact with anyone effortlessly, even people with a suboptimal mental capacity 😂
I had similar experiences as well. I felt I need to patch up my weakness instead, and with that I felt more confident facing similar situation in the future.
Being infp is a big deal ..its the hardest type to have , and even worse when unhealthy . World system of ESTJ is not meant to us , but we don't lose hope ..people make fun of us , but we dont care or (almost )..and we carry on . We can not fake , we live hell to make things happen and success . So we infps are far stronger than other mbti .
Great video! Could you please tell me what is your job title right now? I had a similar path, working in the fields you described and I am currently trying to find something that would suit me better. Thanks a lot!
Is it just me or...Thinking about life and success is useless cause all day you believe at the end nothing is worth it as death is the only factor that matters.
Does this realisticaly work, I mean, to actually gain in stability and earn a good situation and finance minimum? And it's natural for us to try many things but if it always fail is it because we like skills ? I mean is it not better to focus on one things ? (We just need to have the chance to find out the true things that is good for us but seems like there are any since there are so many things we want to try out, we will never be satisfite)
