As an INFP, if you don't talk to me daily, I won't remember your face or name the next day. I have troubles remembering people's faces and names, but I really excel in remembering anything else.
Honestly I love that I don’t have to try to be a weirdo or eccentric, it just comes naturally! As a fellow INFP once said: “I’d rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I’m not.” -Kurt Cobain
Definitely! As an INFP child I wanted nothing more than to fit in and be "normal", as I was bullied to no end and it was literally 'social suicide' to talk to me. Now with the world as it is, I am starting to feel like the 'normal one' and I gotta say.... I'm not ok with it😂😂😂
#2 is so true. I am terrible at remembering birthdays or even what date today is, but I can easily remember the details of a film or tv episode I enjoyed that I have seen only once. My parents always used to say “if only you could remember your school work as easily as you can remember that program” 😆
INFP here... other kids got in trouble for fighting/being rude..etc, my parents got the call from teachers being overly worried as I excessively daydreamed away my elementary school life 😆
Yes yes yes!!! This was me as well. I was made to feel a bit guilty about it, which is part of the reason why I became obsessive and neurotic for many years. Now I'm letting my carefree side resurface again. I behave like a cartoon professor, but at least I'm happy :D....
So basically INFPs have Inattentive ADHD? I used to think it was just me being an INFP, but realized I have Inattentive ADHD or ADD (outdated term) and that's why I have all these traits. I've assigned MBTI or Zodiac signs to myself, but it never helped. Finding out I was neurodivergent really changed the game for me and gave me reasons why I struggle in life so much while everyone around me succeeds. Excessive daydreaming, excessive thoughts that encroach on daily life, masking to fit in, feeling like an alien, bad memory for important things while remembering "unimportant" hyperfixations well, being clumsy or awkward, slow to open up to people because they never feel "seen" so they're scared to trust NTs. All ADHD traits.
WOW....this is the comment I've been looking for.....I'm an INFP but same time I have ADHD - inattentive type....now I'm wondering is it due to ADHD?😮😮😮😮
I joined an INFJ group, but came to realise I didn't quite fit there so did the MBTI test and it came out INFP. I can relate to most points in this video except remembering movie plots, lines of dialogue. I have a hard time following plots because I get easily distracted and start daydreaming through tv dramas and films, so miss bits. I often don't remember important info. The forgetting birthdays is so spot on. I can't stand it because it looks like I don't care.
hah same I took the 16 personalities test and got infj initially but then I took a much better more professional test and boy oh boy oh boy oh girl oh boy did I find infp to resonate alot more with me glad you found your type fellow infp
@@helenayamez yeahh thats so true! idk about you but i've been struggling quite alot with feeling like I don't belong anywhere so it's nice to at least get some sense of community. super happy for you
When I made my first test I was INSP and it didnt feel right. So Ive redone the test and here I am finding myself. Yes so many things are incredibly accurate.
This is how my brain usually works: Day before bday: "It's so-and-so's bday tomorrow. I need to remember to call them." Day of bday: "Do-do-dee-do-do. It's a normal day" Day after bday: "Oh crap - it was so-and-so's bday yesterday and I forgot to call!"
My dad is an INFP and this is relatable 😂 He always ignore everyone when daydreaming, we need to call him at least 3 times or else he would just keep daydreaming 😅😅😅
I work in a bookstore and often have to ask customers for their names when they order books even if they have been coming in for years. What I do remember is their taste in books or even something personal they told me ages ago. I often feel embarassed I can't remember their names. But taking the test made me realise all the positive things about my personality type! ❤️
As an INFP with an ISTJ father who doesn't believe in breaking the social norm and is set to shaping me on how they want me to be and an ESFP mother who doesn't care in putting in the effort to help me and enjoy causing emotional turmoil for drama. It's rough.
Keep holding on! I am an INFJ with an ISTP father, never thinking before he speaks and therefore being rough and insultive towards me. He always tries to make me "wake up" and realize how the world truly is and is a hopeless pessimist, when it comes to the faith of mankind. My mother is an ESTJ and thinks all my aspirations and dreams are stupid and unimportant. She hardly notices my achievements and only sweats the small stuff (like me not putting the lid back on the toothpaste). So I get how you feel. ♡
As a INFP and Pisces you can imagine how much I’m always daydreaming😭 I actually only remember the most important things and the least😂 never just the simple things I need to know☠️ I was just talking to a guy earlier and he was talking about someone else liking me, and I’ve replayed that conversation so many times and thought about what I could have said better😭 I’m ALL of these except selfish bc I’m always thinking of how I’m making others feel and how I should act to make them feel better☠️
@@Lexfrmtex seriously! The amount of times my mom has asked me to do something and I’ve apparently said ok but don’t even remember the conversation when said comes to remind me🤣🤣😭
#7 isn't very true for me tho, I will reveal myself especially all of my bad points early in the relationship, kind of like a "disclaimer" so that the other party knows how weird I am early on and if he cannot accept it, then we can end the relationship before we become too connected.
Same, I haven't been in a romantic relationship in years but I tend to be closer to the oversharing type, also with my friends I have always been myself and not tried to hide things away, I get to really deep conversations quite early on!
هذا ما كنت اود قوله بالضبط فنحن اذا دخلنا في علاقة نود ان نكون مثاليين فيها ومن الصعب ان نخرج منها خوفا من كسر الطرف الثاني لذلك نكشف عن كل اوراقنا في الوهلة الولى😊
The things we are good at remembering are not wholly "unimportant." Even if they seem that way to others, they are important from our point of view because we can see connections that other people cannot. We remember those things because they help us understand things more thoroughly. Also, Idk if other INFP's do this, but I purposefully don't try very hard to memorize things that I can just as easily keep available in writing. This helps me free up more space in my conscious mind for problem solving. Why would I memorize all these birthdays if I can put them in a calendar and set reminders for myself? It would be like memorizing all the phone numbers in my phone.
I took a test given to me by someone and it said that I'm am an INFP. After watching this video I'm more convinced about the result because many of these points sound exactly like me. Except for remembering entire movie scripts. Stand out lines, sure. But who doesn't do that?
I'm INFP and probably a little autistic, and my main struggle in life is the constant strain of feeling awkward in social interactions. I feel perfectly fine, going about my day thinking about everything that needs to be thought about, and then just buying a coffee and not knowing how to interact with the cashier brings it all down.
"as if they must act a specific way in order to fit in" ... honestly its sad that this is accurate, i "fit in" with them now, because i curse more and help them on their homework... its sad how people just switch when you help them on their own benefits 😞
@@PsychologyRefresh I agree. As a raging infp, lol, I have to say that the world needs the infp tribe more than ever, in my opinion. This world, many times I have told myself, out loud (🤣) I am not made for this nasty place, needs our personality type to come out of our comfy, self soothing, daydreaming, lacking in self worth selves and help awake shakey, asleep, zombie like comatose state people are in and help society pull their heads out of their "bleep", live where people can see us and teach how to care a little about love, communicating and not being a selfish, neurotic and self absorbed self... Holy cow! Sorry, I got away with my thoughts... Yikes.🤣 What was the topic again?
As an INFP who's been around the block like 1-1/2, 1-3/4 times, lemme tell you, you belong everywhere. It doesn't matter if others think you're weird or not. It doesn't matter if you think you're weird, for that matter. I learned somewhere along the way what really matters is how comfortable you are in your own skin. Quit worrying about if you fit in or not. Let the company your in worry about that. If you're comfortable and confident in who you are, then there's not many places you can't walk in and feel like you're walking in your own home. A way to do that is not be a subject unto yourself. I took control of myself and made a "me" that I liked and wasn't always so critical of myself. Remember, not only are you master of your life, you're master of YOU.
Number 2 and 4 are so accurate. Till this day I still remember the stupid crap I did when I was a kid and literally quotes from videos and movies(holy shit how's this so accurate?). And the conversation one, if there's an intriguing or heated discussion, I'll relive that moment over and over, breaking down the nuances, the context, the "way" they said it etc... trying to justify or sometimes seeing a different angle of perspective on it. I'll be honest, sometimes I'll ponder on it throughout the whole day and in between other thoughts and it's kinda exhausting.
2:37 I forgot my bestie's birthday for the 3rd time in a row this September. But yes I do remember all the movie scenes and quotes that I have loved watching and I can remember every small plot point and scenes from books that I read and like.
100% me. Now, I've decided to not socialise outside of work, live on my own and away from others. I can't be stuffed trying to make someone else comfortable because they think I'm weird. I got my own crap on and at this point, I can't be stuffed dealing with other "normal" people who are not the sort of people I need in my tribe. I don't trust people and I prefer to live off grid. Besides, who's going to miss the weird chick?
No.2 is so true like i can remember song lyrics i heard a year ago and titles of books i read but i cant remember peoples birthday,age,date of birth or anything important about them even if their my friend or favourite family member
Chronic daydreamer, and proud. It's better than the real world. Don't interrupt my thoughts. Hey, these traits are not weird, they are superior. I'm autistic also, so I get a double whammy of specialness. I never forget my kid's birthdays. I just forget names, and dates in general, because it's information overload. Not belonging in a world that is completely dysfunctional, is a sign of being sensible. We are intelligent, honest, authentic, and highly principled, which means our ideas are obviously better, and we can be trusted. People should listen to us more. Social norms are stupid. Small talk is excruciating. People jump into intimate situations too fast, and that's gross, and leads to bad things. Taking your time is what more people should do. This video is only convincing me that more people should be like us. We're not weird, everyone else is.
The one about being on over own path and only able to be over selfs. It's so true I canot bend my morals to others and I know we live ind a world of gray but it really hurts. It's like it's causing me emotional damage to go agenst my heart.
...I feel called out.... Like, really called out. On every point. ... I just now noticed that I'm not trying to fit social norms. Oups? Also, how come all those things are personality traits???!! I thought that was just me!
I’m not really sure if I am INFP but after doing the test and watching vids, especially this, I can say this video is 100% me. I don’t even believe it, but the people around me have been saying so.
@@PsychologyRefresh the one is a genius and extremely introverted . A musician and a writer who can only do things his way. The other is also a great musician but he appears more adaptable and social and works in IT at a university . They are great friends and share weird humor and movies and are both very creative and technical. Both very kind and don’t like to mess with people but they hate people telling them what to do and never listen.
@@lindamcgillin2263 Thank you so much for sharing! INFPs have a lot of great qualities, we've highlighted their biggest strengths here ---> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KF7FCDfFPMI.html
I feel like I totally get it as an INFJ/Me! Same but slightly different. Must put everything in my Calender AND this is critical, Journal and review the entries regularly!
Never heard before that INFP are close minded when it comes to other people's opinions or ideas. Where did you get that from? Personally I couldn't care less about someone else having different opinion than me, in fact, I even like hearing their opinions and try to understand them. After all INFP are perceiving, meaning they are adaptable and open-minded.
#2 Scared me ;( I can't even remember people's name but I remember that I had a dream where I met this very very beautiful girl on the 16th September 2018
I identify with all of these except for #7. I used to take a long time to open up to people, but then I went the opposite way, which is just as big a problem, if not more so. As for #1, my favorite high school French teacher used to say to me, "Lucie, vous etes toujours dans la lune!" This means literally, you are always in the moon. In English it's something like, you always have your head in the clouds. Which I did, and still do. RIP Madame Peterson ❤
As an INFP-T person, I wish I could send this video to my 10-11 year old self crying because I felt so different than other kids, I was really sensitive and I had my own words.
I’m apart of an Aquarius group on Facebook and I had them take the personality test and it was over 200 comments. About 95% of the answers were INFP ❤ INFP are definitely a lot of Aquarius ♒️ ❤
At office I was imagining that an enemy fighter is attacking us and I am the first person to see it recognise it and alert to our military and I was so immersed that I even started making whispering plane noise and staring to the window untill person sitting next to me though I was saying something to him and that woke me up.
I'm an infp according to hundreds of tests I took over the years.. I think I fare better in the memory part than most INFPs since I can remember faces (still not entirely familiar with all my current blockmates tho) and even my friends say I have a good memory but I had episodes of forgetfulness that still haunt me every once in a while
that's so true... but it's still safe, take it easy... because with experience and age, strange habits will be controlled without anyone else noticing it
I agree there some degree i try to dress up a certain way when what i truely wanna dress like is the other... I make deals with my self to tame it to a middle ground.
This is really relatable especially when overanalyzing past conversation i'll always think " did he meant it in a mean way?" "Did she meant it in a flirty way" but the only exception that i cant relate to is that Infp's cant accept other visions
i used to be an intp like YEARS ago when I last took the test, but I retook it 2 times and it says on both that I am an infp! and I find that the descriptions with infp to be extremely relatable :3
The thing about birthdays and the thing about thinking about a conversation after it has already ended happen to me all the time sometimes i end up thinking about a past conversation that has ended a whole week ago its like it randomly pops up in my head with my mind saying "you know you probably couldve said something else" it baffles me how it often happens before I'm about to head to sleep like cmon mind let me sleep already XD
funnily enough, i’m actually great with names and faces and dates, but the random movie quotes and specifically remembering what color shirt i was wearing on the day i went to the mall three years ago is also something that happens frequently
Remembering only unimportant things? That sounded bad. All we remember is important to us. I may forget some birthdays because I don't care about mine at all, just like any holidays. A flaw in school and parenting in my opinion is that people tend to want kids to be alike. And if a child is not compatible with the teaching... sorry, the teaching is incompatible(!), then problems will arise. In elementary school I was told to meet the school psychologist, because I often forgot the monthly money for eating in school and didn't really do homework. He said he's never had a patient with such good memory. He asked me to repeat random number sequences. We stopped at 6, then I had to say them in reversed order. He finally said 7 numbers but didn't wait for my response. I answered and wanted to keep going, but he told me to go back to attend class. Edit: I did enjoy the video.
