The 5 Crucial Survival Tips for the INFP 

As a male INFP seeking experiences for the sake of experiences was a terrible idea. I believe that an effort to be one's true self will result in astonishing life experiences appearing on their own. If your true self is the horse, don't get off the saddle, and enjoy the ride.

As a fellow INFP who's trying to find some direction in his life, I really appreciate you sharing your insights 😊

I’ve searched high and low for a purpose. It seems the more I search and explore the further it’s pushing away from me. Like a dream you try to remember when you first wake up and the more you try to remember the more it disappears.

I feel very appreciative that you overcame your reluctance to make this video. None of us would ever speak up if we waited until we were completely perfect. We might feel better and even do better if we reframed being mentally and socially "healthy" as an ongoing process. Much warmth to you!! 🌞

As infp myself; sometimes my tears is come out one or two bits when watching these videos and read the comments 🙁

I'm a lot older, but new to all of this. She does a good job of describing me in some ways. The test I took (which I even paid for because I wanted to know for sure), said I was an INFP. I just seem to be way out there compared to other people, as far as thinking/feeling, so hard to find people I'm compatible with. Really self-critical, and expect honesty in things, because I am that way. Sometimes seems the world, in general, is not really compatible with me :-)

Yes the hardest part is that we have to be a part of reality when actually i kind of wanted to be a unicorn lol

As a 23yr old INFP who feels VERY stuck in life right now thank you honestly this video made me cry because I related so much

We will never find a place in this world unless it’s through our art form. I hate the world and it hates me but somehow I care deeply for all the people I can’t stand. I need a purpose .

Exactly... There is nothing worse than talking on the phone.... 😂

Conflict is a worthy and tough one. Assertive, honest, able to argue, forgive, not taking personally etc. Wish i could teach people this it was hard earned

I just found your channel and I really love your videos. I’m 19 and so far I’ve always felt out of place, it’s really nice to see that there is people like me out there.

. I’m crying. This is a so helpful, I feel like you were speaking with my soul. It’s such a relief to find out you’re not weird, nothing wrong with you, you just UNIQUE, your heart is TREASURE! Thank you so much for sharing your experience and wisdom. Bless you!

I love your passion. Its infectious.

Thank you for all of your words! You are such an inspiration ⭐️

I think we INFPs are here to remind the others to do whats right and not whats easy. Doing the right thing isn't and shouldn't be hard. #bethelight #winwin #govegan

Heartfelt and empathic, as I would expect from a fellow who is on the INFP journey.

My life has got so much easier after I found you and this community. Thank you for making me understand myself!

Binge watching you now Lex! You truly inspired me. Thank you!

Thank you so much, I cant thank you enough for you making these videos. it has helped so much in my personal development. I think the hardest thing that INFP's struggle with is Failure. thank you so much please keep making these videos.

To be really honest I love myself so much which is a bit unusual for an INFP. But I used to try to make everything about self love and try to teach myself that I don't need to have a partner. But as I moved through life I've realised this has been a mistake for me. As an INFP I love to dream and I love the idea of love. I want to love someone and be loved back and have a companion. Self love is extremely important but don't deny the fact that we are humans who naturally want to be loved too!

Lex, thank you so much for making this video and really all the videos you make.I spend so much time feeling so alone and misunderstood by almost everyone in my life. I hardly have any friends because I am so reserved and find many people to be overwhelming. I really do love connecting with people, but it is also very scary because I am always the one that puts everything into relationships and I don't know how to be genuine and not do that. Listening to your videos and reading comments posted by my fellow INFPs gives me a sense of belonging and feeling understood that I rarely experience in day to day life. The last one is especially helpful! Only 6:42am and I've already had my first cry of the day...28000 more to go...

I can not believe i have gone on this long with out finding your channel! I am honestly go grateful that you have come on to youtube and are willing to share your life experience as an INFP, the things you have delt with and what you have come to realize. I thought i was alone in many of my ways of thinking and was kicked out of a Christian missionary school where i thought i was called to But because i clashed with my roommate and wasn't motivated enough to ask people for money so they kicked me out. Thinking that this was my calling I was dumbfounded and didn't know how to assert my case so I left and now looking back cant believe that I ever thought it was because everything they were asking me to do was not me at all. I was constantly told that they was I was wasn't good enough and if i didn't talk to people about things ,that i wasn't even sure if I believed, then I was wrong. Not that this has anything to do with the video. But Listing to your video was probably one to the first times in a long time that I had someone that said exactly what i was thinking and I had no idea how to express it. After being kicked out of that school I went through a 2 year depression because i didn't know what to do and and frankly felt punched in the gut I have finally gotten out of that and now attempting to get on a new path, a path i would rather do and feel more compelled to do. Well thank you for letting me get that out, no idea if anyone will read this but. Thank you again for uploading this, you definitely have a new subscriber. INFP's must stick together!

Hum, aesthetics, harmony, nice work team, wanting to help everyone, able to speak without being afraid of censorship from the other side, sometimes working by myself, have time to let my mind roam and come out with an original proposal/solution at work, but I'm stuck at the moment. Following your words of hardship and the lessons that it brought you. I had a relationship with a narcissist man that was the most important lesson in my life and I feel so grateful for it, for it brought me to where I am today. Now in times of corona I feel it is hard to be just with myself (even if I continue working at this farm with my eccentric boss, almost borderline) but I know it is so important for my growth and stability that I accept it and embrace it.

Appreciate your honesty and transparency. So Refreshing . Now I know what it's like to be around me! Wow, we're so awesome! So underrated in this culture.

If I was unsure about whether I was an INFP or an INFJ, after watching your videos I think I’m no longer unsure. Everything you’ve said in your videos (of the ones I’ve had the privilege to see so far ☺️) has made total sense to me. Thanks for posting this great information. I’m a subscriber for life 👍💙

as an infp I wanted to say I really appreciate this vid! I found it very helpful and its reassuring to know others can relate.. thanks for keeping it real

I always identify with your videos! I think this is the only channel that I've actually clicked the bell icon :) I'm always excited when you release new content!

Thanks for the information, it was very useful. Also, nice transition music, I love it!

Lex...just watching your "Survival Tips" for INFPs. I am an INFP and can absolutely relate to all you speak of in your videos. For this particular video, you mentioned crashing and having a lower sense of purpose due to low inspiration. Yes...believe me when I say...I understand. The way I handle this is relax and look back. Sometimes we INSPs forget about what we have already accomplished and the co contributions we have made to make others happier. We typically are so focused on making some change and contribution that we beat ourselves up when we are without something fresh and new. Realizing all those intangible contributions already provided to society tend to make me aware I am taking on too much and overwhelming myself...that it is okay to relax and rest and enjoy my life for a moment. This is something I would recommend for all ISFPs like myself. Anyway, I truly enjoy you work. It are dead on...and you are making a difference. Thank you. Sam

Love your videos. So true and so personal. Admire you a lot Lex Mornigstar!

Thank you Lex.. The points you mention in the video are what I learnt through my experience as well. Thank you for the video. Kind and relatable explanation!

I've just discovered your channel by researching as many INFP related videos as I could (I've become obsessed by the MBTI lately, though I don't really know all the types for the moment ^^) Very informative and useful for me, especially when you talk about your personnal experience, it is very inspiring to move forward. Plus, I really like your accent, it is really understandable for a non English speaker native and agreeable to the ear. So, new subscriber :)

I really needed to watch this. I’m currently separated and probably getting divorced soon, so life is not that great atm. Thank you for sharing this. I feel a lil less alone. Ps. I suffer Bipolar Type 2, so, I relate to the things you speak of 100%!

ISFP(growing up i was definitely and ENFP or ESFP) but i was bullied in Elementary school and everything changed. I mean stage was my life. I always Felt the need to perform and be a star yet i’ve always been a bit”deep” not really phylosophical but i was interested in learning about things not just playing. Books with animals were my life. Even though i am not as sociable as i used to be(i always have the feeling i bore people) i am still that performer inside and feel the need to shine. Even though i’ve always been a performer i was never actually as loud as my peers i love to party,socialize and dance and be there. I do need a lot of solitude though. Like i don’t feel the need to hang out very much unlike my obvious ESFJ/ESFP friends. I got accused of not caring about them because i tend to “disappear” from time to time but i really do go out as much as i need and don’t forget i am in school 6h/day. And also on holidays i do go out like 3 days/week. I was always a bit shy though despite being an introvert and had it hard to keep friends maybe because most of my friends are real extroverts. I am very critical to myself as well and a perfectionist

I love you, because you always turn into words what I feel inside me everytime :)

Very good video Lex. Thanks for sharing!

I'm so happy that you addressed the issue of relationships and addiction, I have been a recovering pain medication addiction for almost 5 years now, I didn't start my addiction because of a romantic relationship, I suffered from severe trauma for 7 years all alone until I was prescribed this magical pill that not only helped my physical pain but it also numbed my inner turmoil, I have been single for 14 years although I've dated shortly a couple of times but I always push them away from constantly cancelling dates because I don't want to get that close to anyone, but I actually love being single and I barely ever get lonely. I always question myself because aren't I supposed to want to have a partner in my life? Lol that's my brain, everything gets thoroughly analyzed the second it hits my brain lol

I could really relate to helping you through the mundane. Thanks for your video

This is great!!! Thank you!!!

You really hip the nail on the head with this video!

Also, great video! I just finished it, and I can relate to all of your points. This video really helped me. Thanks!

Dear Lex (if that is Ok from a stranger?), even up to this day these video are valid and helpful and providing a lot! Thank you so much for making these!

Don't mind me a) find a purpose within trying/experiences

thank you for this video. I needed it in those bad days what came. Keep going ;)

Thanks; this helped me today ❤

Vim correndooo. A cada tópico me identificava mais e mais e mais. :) Conselhos valiosíssimos!!

Thank You.

Excellent

Thanks, Lex. This is a great talk about us INFP folks. Here's what I've found out: Speaking from my heart can lead to trouble. Especially when I'm angry. How about you guys?

I feel so understood like never before

Thank you for this! I enjoy your vids very much. Can you put these videos up on spotify as podcasts?? I would love to listen to your voice without having to stay on my phone, because youtube doesn't stay open when I'm away from my phone, so I have to keep watching. Just a suggestion! :)

not only do strongly relate to all of these videos but I use that same Goku analogy about myself all of the time!

I appreciate your vids

Alas,the mundane is reality... Ok since you said we Have to. Oh man!

I am Infp. You can even change your personality type by meditation,pure karmic meditation to better understand MIND.

I’m completely lost. I don’t know where I fit in. I’m 46 a mother wife daughter but don’t know where I fit in when it comes to a career path. I like many things and it’s hard to choose one thing I feel is my calling. I worry I will never really know. I guess I have to just suck it up try new things and put myself out there and see where the universe takes me.

Ohh god insomnia n depression... Bang on on that...

Just finished the video, as always "Outstanding' prescriptives and insightful views . I know that my comments may seem a bit over or too excited !. However, when I say that you're one of the best individuals who creates content around the MBTI in general or 'INFP' specifically then I'm not exaggerating at all because I really went deep & came across many ( Websites , Blogs , Tests , RU-vid channels etc...) but still haven't seen someone like you who has an attractive & simple way of delivering it. So be proud of that Lex :p Again loved the video and waiting for the next one. Side tip*** : If possible you can just be spontaneous with your content Lex ! . we want frequent uploads xD BTW I noticed that you love Dragon ball & specially 'Gouko' character, you might already know this but try to watch the anime Naruto and follow the character 'Itachi' from start to the end. I believe that he might be the best character was ever made! I don't know if I should apologize for writing long comments or you just already accepted it LOL. the thing is I want to send my true intentions as much as possible Rayan

I luv the last point...

Amazing

Thanks!

You've got a subscriber!

Bless your 💗❗

Love DBZ! Nice Video :)

This is so my herd of unicorns. I've gotten a long journey till I can reach whatever is around the bend. Year two and I am exhausted. I struggle with sleeplessness as well but have adreline surges from pots/Dysautomia.

I think I’ve been having insomnia lately. It’s crazy one minute I’m tired as all hell the next minute I’m wide awake cuz I Sean something interesting and now my brain won’t stop. Like last night I found out about me being an infp and it opened my eyes to so much about myself that I couldn’t stop watching videos about it. I was about to fall asleep at 2am wanting to go to bed earlier then that because I had things I wanted to get done the next day but struggled falling asleep I came across a video about personality’s and after I found out why I am the way I am I ended up not going to bed till 8am. Can’t seem to get enough information lol.

I've Been Thru Hell But 24 hours Awake Your So Lucky, I Stay Awake For 3 - 3.5 Days Awake, FRIENDS what Are They I Have Severe Trust Issues And Being Single Not Good My Relatives Stay Away Well Apart From One I Hate Her She Is So So Toxic To Me I've Had Depression Since 1978 My Aunt Told Me To Get Over It (I Think My Depression Is Bipolar 2 - ultra ultra Rapid Cycle) + I Have General Anxiety Disorder and I Can Never Use A Phone I Text Only Even That's Hard For Me Relationships over Text Is A Joke NO FEELINGS & This Time Of Year December Is So BAD!!! For Me My Dad Died on The 9th & My Grandad Died Boxing day So When My Aunt Comes She Brings A X-mas card For The Last 5 Years I Keep Telling Her "I Do Not Do Christmas At All" So When She Knocked On My Door Last Week I Ignored Her Or I Try To Be Out.

Hi INFP friends! Last 5-6 weeks going very hard for me. I can't find my purpose to live and I am losing my hope. I tried lots of new things but they didn't mean anything to me. Now I wake up with suicidal thoughts every single morning because there is nothing to dedicate my life for. So is there anyone felt like this way? And how did you get over this problem? Btw I felt better when I discovered your channel because there is lots of people who feels (not exactly) like me so thanks a lot!

Your like an angel on earth 🌎 this is to good to be true I am an infp

And also wanted to say that I feel things so deeply, on a personal level, don't even understand it myself! There was a shooting here in my hometown of Dayton this weekend, and it has me depressed really bad (was already depressed over the El Paso one). A guy said to me "Why you let it bother you, none of the people were related to you?". I don't know, but it does! It's like I feel the pain of it all, and it causes me a lot of personal anguish! Anyway, thanks for making this video, slowly learning more about myself.

living in the usa clashes with my value system constantly, i.e. ppl having intrinsic value, needing interesting things to do on a daily basis, etc. etc.

I like! 👍

You look ridiculously like Lana Del Rey! I'm sure you get that often. 😄

Love your videos, strongly relate to them. Wanted to ask, do you think INFP's are incapable of cheating on their partner? I never have. Rather tired of it happing to me.

Cool

i cant bring myself to do the mundane. quit school like12 years ago and havent done anything since then

Can u do a video on types of infp ...

Less lonely after watching this.

Do all infp's have the same toy shelf? Because I have a very similar one.

lmao, I'm glad someone understand how much I hate talking on the phone

Haha I compare myself to Goku and my love to Vegeta sometimes. Dragon Ball is one of my favorite self-soothing shows. :)

@9:43 whats the music called?

The one person who disliked this video just doesn't understand

I've dealt with insomnia most of my life. I found that a magnesium supplement called Natural Calm works best and consistently for me. Everyone's different so it might not work for you but give it a shot and see how it goes.

#ifeellighter

People treading all over my values? Check! Happens very frequently... Being unable to push back? Check! That leaves me dumbfounded way too often for my taste. There's one more thing to be added, though, that happens whenever I'm fighting back (usually when Fe Nemesis starts kicking in) so I'm wondering whether other INFPs can relate to that: When calling the person being insensitive out for their behavior, I usually get a response along the avenue of "Stop being so sensitive." That makes me want to throw up, but unfortunately I could impossibly eat as much as I wanted to barf. -_-

When you said goku 🤗

why are you on the floor? you feel so small with this camera angle, is it your personal choice?

I wonder if there are any INFP's that actually speak up when they're feeling their values are being squashed..I've always been one to speak up, especially if something has been ruminating in my head to long.. I speak up and often move on... I am and I NFP so I guess that's just weird of me ?.. I just can't tolerate people belittling me or others so they can feel better about themselves...I will say something...anyone else???

11:01 wowwww your forehead has triple tunnel

So we’re both INFP and inspired by Goku. It’s hard to find fans of his when everyone else favours Vegeta, but maybe it’s an INFP thing... haha

we want to be alone but not be lonely.. bitch you just described my LIFE my wig is incinerated sis

Do zazen 😂

What accent is that ?

😴😴😴

you were once homeless?

Ur so beautiful

I hate watching videos that are 15min and over
