INTJ quote of the day
mbti - who they need in their life.
INTJ, INTP - Someone who can bring warmth to their coldness, light to their darkness, happiness to their depression, but also someone who understands how important the cold, the dark, and the depression is to them.
ENTJ, ESTJ - Someone who can challenge them, keep them entertained and interested yet keep them in their place.
INFP, ISFP - Someone who understands how complicated and simple they are, someone who doesn’t try to fix them or makes sense of them but just embraces them.
ENFP - Someone who takes everything they aspire to be and help them make it a reality, someone who makes them understand that dreams are great but accomplishments are better. Someone who acts like a mirror to them, makes sure they don’t go off the tracks yet, enjoys getting lost within them.
INFJ, ENFJ - Someone who makes them smile without hiding a frown within, someone who brings out the real them no matter how difficult
ESTP, ISTP, , ESFP - Someone who can ride with them to no place in specific yet always knows where to go when things get too overwhelming
ISTJ - Someone who makes them read beyond the words and helps them see beyond the facts and the rules, someone who adds paint to their canvas
ENTP - Someone who takes all the hate and highlights all the positives, someone who is able to truly talk to them and challenge them
ISFJ, ESFJ - Someone who doesn’t need help from them, someone who helps them find what they want for themselves

ESFP: You are the city lights at night and a thirst quenching glass of a cocktail drink.
ESTJ: You are that one friend who encourages physical activities and fun not be wasted on this season.

INFJ: You are the warm smell of hot chocolate and cinnamon on Christmas Eve.
infp's through stages of tiredness
not tired: reserved but friendly, will mind their own business but won’t be rude if you talk to them
kind of tired: will do anything to avoid human contact
really tired: becomes an enfp
absolutely 150% tired: an emotional, angry mess that you don’t want to cross the line with

idk if this is just me but let me know 😂 i want to see if this has any correlation with mbti
me the other day: “so, when i go (to a group outing) i always hate myself and want to cry, but when i don’t go i cry because i’m so socially awkward that i can’t bring myself to go to these things”
me to me: “shut up you’re getting too deep”
MY ENFP STAGE IS LITERALLY THE WORST ITS JUST A CONSTANT STRING OF OVERSHARING
Is it just me or does anyone else start to panic that they might not be an INFP after you’ve already intrinsically based everything off of the INFP life and have found your identity in that personality type alone ??? but then realize that you are an INFP without even trying and the fact that you are worried about your identity pretty much proves that you’re an INFP and everything is okay?? probably just me lol
completely relatable, i identify as an i(n/s)fp. when i was first realizing that i was pretty split between traits of sensors and intuitive’s i was kind of freaking out, like I RUN AN INFP BLOG I CANT BE AN ISFP but i’ve realized personality isn’t black and white like that, (say it with me for the millionth time) it’s a spectrum!
INFP aesthetic
“This world is but a canvas for our imagination.”

We all know infp people are not much of speakers.. But when you have a funny story or something that you find interesting, do you often repeat yourself? I'm doing this, and people are like "you just told that"!!!!!!!
ohhhh i do that all the time. maybe they didn’t laugh hard enough the first time it was said and so you want to get them to realize how funny it really was. or you came to some mind blowing conclusion and they’re like ‘oh. okay’ and the more they brush you off the more frustrating it gets because you want them to get this – to get you. so you tell it again. it drives my family nuts. i finally figured out, though, that most people don’t understand you’re not telling it again to be annoying, or because you forgot you told them already. you do it because you want them to share the same experience/feeling/understanding you did. ~mik
do you... ever... get in that late-night mood? where everyone else is asleep, and you could do anything, NEED to do everything, but... it's so late, and your so tired...? and you end up gravitating from one place... to the next... in the end, doing nothing, until the sun rises or you pass out?
ughhh yes. i’m such a night owl. the only problem is no one else in my family is and are bedrooms are all on the upstairs level so i can’t ever do anything because i’d make too much noise so i’m doomed to go to bed when they do it’s tortureeeeee ~mik
Care & Feeding of the INFP
INFP: The Healer The most helpful thing to understand about INFP is that they are first and foremost deeply introverted. They are also incredibly sensitive. Some vast majority of their cognitive energy is spent simply feeling their feelings.
And they have so.many.feelings.
This is actually quite a lot of work on an energetic level, and can be exhausting for the INFP, particularly for INFPs who haven’t developed skill or comfort expressing themselves, because then basically their whole life is happening inside their heads. The INFP is private and guarded naturally, so even the well-developed INFP is often reticent to express their deepest feelings. When they do, it would behoove their partner to lean in, get comfortable, and listen carefully. The INFP will clam right back up if they feel remotely judged, criticized, or unheard, and it will be a long while before they try again with you. (If they ever do).
It is not uncommon to find INFPs who habitually isolate themselves or push people away, often because they had negative relationship experiences in the past or even just because they fear negative experiences. (Remember they are extremely sensitive, so deep emotional wounds can take a long time to heal). A wounded INFP will protect that rich internal landscape with the tenacity of a pack of junkyard dogs. Admittedly, these self-protective INFPs are hard to build relationships with, but it is not impossible with patience, time, and practical affection.
And I will add here that it is entirely worth it, because any INFP is a wonderful partner when you really snag one. They will give you all the space and understanding you need, a quality that is especially valuable if you’re a big, weird extravert who struggles to find a partner who accepts you fully. An INFP will embrace your idiosyncrasies willingly; in fact, they tend to prefer “weird” or unconventional people. And once they trust you, they actually like it when you encourage them to get outside of themselves. They can be hilarious, silly, fun, playful partners. They can be wonderful performers and storytellers, in part due to their rich imaginations. They are also great with kids, in part because they are somewhat childlike and innocent themselves. They do well with bright, optimistic, cheerful, peaceful, steady, independent partners who are undaunted by their dark spells.
Because INFPs (even under the best of circumstances) are prone to dark spells, depression, and self-pity. They are very hard on themselves and prone to feeling guilty or ashamed and getting stuck in cycles of feeling this way. And they will usually withdraw when they are hurt or overwhelmed. It’s just how they are. So a partner of an INFP has to learn to curb the urge to draw them out forcefully, because it won’t work. They will actually be most likely to dig their heels in and retreat further if you try to force them to open up when they don’t want to or aren’t ready. That said, they do need your encouragement to come back from the dark side, especially if you have done or said something to contribute to their shutdown. You will need to gently inquire as to what’s going on with them, and what you can do or say to make it better, and wait patiently until they are ready to talk to you about it.
I know that sounds confusing.
Here’s another way to say it: a small amount of withdrawal isn’t a thing to fear from your INFP partner; in fact, it might be necessary for their well-being. This is mostly because there is so much going on inside of them all the time and so few outlets for it that sometimes they need to just check out. Sometimes they need you to just leave them alone for a while, and let them work through whatever they’re working through. But there is also a point at which you may need to go in after them and drag them back out to the light. Again, if you have done something (even unintentionally) to hurt them, you will need to make it right somehow in an authentic way before they will be able to come back to the relationship fully. It is worth reiterating that they are extremely sensitive to criticism, and they take everything personally, so you may not even know you’ve done something harmful until they tell you (IF they ever tell you). The worst thing you can say at this point (and I’ve definitely learned this one the hard way myself) is a dismissive or mocking “How could that possibly have hurt your feelings?” which suggests they are hyper-sensitive and being a baby. Even if they are, they don’t want to hear it, and it won’t go well. So, a better way to say it is: “Okay, I’m sorry that what I said/did hurt your feelings. Thanks for telling me. What could I have said/done differently?” or “I don’t ever want to hurt your feelings, so please tell me what I can do to make this right.” They appreciate a genuine effort to understand them and their feelings, so this is always your best bet.
It is somewhat ironic that INFP is so likely to withdraw, because it costs them the connection they need to keep them steady. They have a contradictory combination of desires: equally desiring connection and safety and freedom. Please remember that no matter how much they love you or feel connected to you, you simply cannot fence in an INFP without encountering a great deal of resistance. The balance is in being there for them and showing care, but also permitting them space to roam and be the lone wolf they often feel they are. Don’t take this to mean they don’t care about you or that they don’t even need you to some extent; they do want to feel like you are there, you are present, you are reliable. They need to trust you to be there when they come back. The more times you are still there when they return, the greater the trust can grow. The fact that you will end up with an utterly devoted INFP is worth all of this effort. (I promise.)
It can be frustrating for the partner of an INFP to know that there is a rich inner atmosphere, but that most of what is going on inside the INFP either can’t or won’t be translated. It can be doubly frustrating if you often sense that your partner is daydreaming when you’d like them to be present with you. You may have to remind them fairly often to come back to Earth. They might have been thinking nice things about you, but you wouldn’t know it, because all you know is they aren’t talking or opening up.
So, if you are a person who needs a great deal of positive reinforcement, you will need to ask for it, and your INFP will have to make a conscious effort to meet that need. It can be interpreted by a sensitive partner (especially an NF partner who measures the quality of the relationship in this way) as deeply selfish (even though INFPs usually do not see themselves as selfish or self-centeredand would rather die than harm you) that they often fail to provide the affirmation their partner may need. Especially ironic given that INFP needs so much positive reinforcement themselves. It is partly that the INFP is so internal that they forget they have to actually say words, and it is partly that the INFP just thinks you should know how they feel.
It is also simply that INFP can get rather awkward trying to explain how they feel. If your INFP has a hard time telling you how they feel, but you really want to know, it can be helpful to ask them to write things down. They can be reticent to say words out loud, but write beautiful love letters or poems full of all the emotions you wish they would or could just show you in real life. (Side note: INFPs are excellent songwriters, artists, musicians, etc in part because of all these feelings; it is important that somehow or another they find a positive outlet for all their feelings. Generally, they love and are deeply moved by music and words. Like, sometimes to tears. One way to connect with your INFP is to share songs and books with them that you love, or that you think they will love, and then talk about it.)
INFPs are very slow to make decisions, and can benefit from a partner who is more decisive than they are. They actually tend to appreciate bossy or Type A people. Some of this is that they really don’t care about a lot of things and are pretty easy to please (like that classic “What do you want for dinner?” conversation. They will usually say, “I don’t care, you pick”, and they do actually mean that. They actually do not give any shits what you have for dinner, and will probably be happy with anything you choose.)
Part of it is also that they have a hard time making decisions, most often because they have conflicting desires and will take all day weighing the options. It’s much easier sometimes to just let someone else decide things. That is the neutral impact of this “slowness to decide” thing.
The negative side of this can be that they’ll stay at jobs or in relationships far longer than is reasonable, even when everybody around them knows they need to make a move, because they are so terrified of making the wrong decision. They worry that they will screw everything up. And theyhate hurting people. (Not that anybody “likes” it, but INFP will do almost anything to avoid hurting anyone’s feelings, even to their own detriment). They are perfectionists and they feel terribly guilty if they feel they have caused someone pain or harm. So, they carefully (too carefully, one might say) consider all the possible options and outcomes before eventually (forever) coming to a conclusion.
Hmm. What else? Other positives, lest you be scared off: INFP is very accepting of quirks. One of the most accepting of all the personality types. They generally don’t mind accommodating a partner who has strong opinions or strange tastes. They won’t bat an eye at your needing to have ice creamright this minute, even if it’s zero degrees outside or the middle of the night. They won’t laugh at your awkward dance moves, or criticize your cooking, or make fun of your OCD tendencies, or argue with you when you want to reorganize your sock drawer for the third time this week. You can be obsessed with any weird stuff you want to. They accept that you enjoy ____ activity that is the nerdiest thing on Earth. You be you, kid. Generally, an INFP partner/friend will completely accept your strange cravings, desires, conversational topics, interests, weird outfits, kinky sexual proclivities, everything.
Almost invariably they’ll be like, “Okay, that’s fine. Whatever makes you happy.” Live and let live, that’s how the INFP rolls.
…UNLESS/UNTIL you violate one of their deeply held values. Then, look out: they will get argumentative and stubborn and totally irrational and they will fight to the death. And forget logic; logic has nothing to do with this argument. Because principles. Because you are wrong and here’s why.
(Later they might see how they were a little extreme. Maybe. You’ll learn the things that aren’t worth arguing about, and avoid those topics.)
But generally, if you give your INFP space and understanding and room to be their own weird introverted self, INFPs in relationships are peaceful, amicable, and easy to get along with. Generally, they don’t ask for much. They don’t criticize unless it seems necessary. They are low-maintenance. They will love you the most, for loving them, seeing them, appreciating them, and letting them just be themselves.

INFPs When They’re Done
It takes a lot to truly piss off an INFP. They’re slow to anger and usually willing to give others the benefit of the doubt and be understanding. But when the INFP has had enough, they don’t hesitate to put their foot down.
The moment they decide to cut someone from their lives, they begin detaching immediately. They don’t waste time by dwelling in the past or ruminating over everything. They don’t give themselves the chance to second guess what they’re about to do. They just act.
Powerful speeches about how badly the person fucked up are delivered. Then numbers are deleted. Social media accounts are blocked. Pictures and gifts are thrown out. Everything they had that was associated with the individual is gone within an hour and all the bridges are burned so that all they’re left with are the memories. And gradually, some of those become suppressed. Others just forgotten, as they find new things to fill the empty space with until they can feel whole and normal again.
So if an INFP acts this way, just know that whoever it’s about must be a truly toxic person. The INFP chooses to see the good in everyone and help others, even if they think they’re unworthy of it. For an INFP to come to this point and bail out anyway speaks volumes.
why intjs are super cute
They are the biggest nerds. Super cute nerds. Talk with an intj about something they really are interested in or something they really love and watch their eyes come alive. The sparks of passion ignite their pupils. The subtle underlying emotion in their voice. Some of them even rush to talk, their lips barely keeping up with their rampaging brain. It’s beautiful and extremely cute.
They are lowkey softies. Every single one of them (that I have met) has that one thing that turns them into this super cute cooing baby. Usually, its their pets or animals. My dad is a very serious and intimidating man (thanks to the Ni-dom stare™) but get him my dog and he’ll be reduced to a cooing pile of cuteness. An old female intj friend of mine used to be like that with her cat too, she baby-talked to it and all.
They crave a little love and attention sometimes. Believe me when I tell you deep down they are softies, even if they don’t acknowledge it. Even if they may not know how to respond to open displays of affection, nevertheless it’s important that people very close to them express their love for them every now and then. You wouldn’t believe how needy and clingy my dad gets sometimes. I’m a feeler and more often than not I get overwhelmed by him. Thinkers, as independent as they seem, need a lot of reassurance too, sometimes even more than Feelers.
Their love/hate humanity complex. As much as they may want to make implode half the population of this planet, they are very connected to humanity as a whole. They always lowkey hang on to the little string of hope in their hearts, that maybe, just maybe… there may be something redeemable about humans after all.
The Dark Side of INFP
Is it just me or are a lot of INFP traits BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) traits as well? Depends on the type on INFP I guess, but the emotional sensitivity is definitely a personality disorder. Being gullible, feeling worthless, being so sensitive that you get hurt easily, feeling a lack of identity.
To those INFPs out there suffering with intense emotions and chaos… just remember that someone is thinking of you. And is possibly in the same boat.
Be kind to yourselves.
Sensitivity, emotional or physical, is NOT a personality disorder! There are now words for how sick I am of this trend of everything becoming a disorder in people’s opinion. The whole definition of BPD is ridiculous - I’m not saying you don’t have mental problems if you do something as extreme as, for example, threaten to kill someone if they leave you, but have you read the official symptom list of BPD? It consists of RANDOM, GENERAL things like “Prone to impulsive behaviour” or “intense emotions”. According to this, every high Fi-user or F-dom or Se-user apparently has BPD. That’s not science, it’s fortune-telling, only worse, because people actually study this nonsense and get a licence to “treat” people, and people believe this is actually science. Official psychology is a joke, only it’s not funny.
Suffering from in this world because you are emotionally sensitive is due to this world being hell and not because there’s something wrong with you. This is how internalised hate of sensitivity (or anything else that isn’t desirable according to the system) perpetuates itself - people are aware that they are different and they conclude that there must be something wrong with them, and then they go and tell others who feel the same that there’s something wrong with them too! “Be kind to yourselves” - Well, yes, please do that! Calling your natural way of being a personality disorder, calling your whole personality type a disorder is obviously not kind! Don’t get me wrong, I know self-hate, I know very well what it’s like to have internalised toxic beliefs about myself. But the worst you can do to yourself and other people who feel similarly is to spread self-hate with posts like these. Learn about your nature, your personality, and realise that there’s nothing wrong with you! There’s something very wrong with this society, because it has taught you these lies.
I’m going to repeat this forever:
Sensitivity is not a disorder/weakness/bad thing
Intense emotions are not a disorder/weakness/bad thing
Being emotionally overwhelmed is not a disorder/weakness/bad thing
Writing this is like explaining to people that breathing is not a disorder. Humanity is so obsessed with killing and corrupting everything natural that most people aren’t even aware of how unnatural they have become and this fear/demonisation of feelings is one of the biggest aspects of it.
There actually is such a thing as High Sensitivity, which means being emotionally and physically sensitive - and it’s completely normal! You can learn about it here. (all mbti types can be highly sensitive, though it’s more common in introverts - roughly 70% introverts, 30% extroverts). And whether or not you’re highly sensitive or just sensitive, it’s fucking normal! What’s not normal is this trend to think you’re having a disorder because of not being the way society wants you to be!
Us INTJs are probably the most attentive aloof people ever.
