Interesting video about INFP/INFJ differences using Carey Mulligan and Andrew Garfield as examples.

Am I the only one who sees Andrew Garfield as more of an ISFP than INFP??

High Ni Problems

by blogranter

These are just some experiences I have blamed/ connected to my dominant Ni:

1. When your teacher/boss wants you to brainstorm, and you can only come up with three or four ideas

2. When you’ve been thinking about a concept so long, and finally decide to tell people your ideas, only to realize that everyone else had moved on from that topic and don’t really care what you have to say.

3. You suffer from constant reevaluations of your life and have an existential crisis about once a year.

4. The above existential crises will often last for months

5. Inferior Se causes sudden and odd lack of foresight and impulsivity, and you end up doing something stupid like wearing shorts when it’s cold because you didn’t think to check the weather.

6. You see every MBTI rookie claim themselves to be an Ni dom, every fictional character to be an Ni dom, or for some reason question your Ni-dom-ness.

7. When everyone in the MBTI community expects you to be a prophet or psychic

8. When the same teacher/boss from above wants to debate everyone’s ideas, while you already have the entire project planned out and half of it done.

9. You think waaayyy too much about your own death. Not necessarily because you’re depressed or suicidal, but because it will happen some day.

10. You confuse people when you try to explain your ideas and interpretations, so you have stopped explaining them to people

11. You absolutely HATE when someone interrupts you mid-thought or mid-sentence. You never got to finish your thought!

12. People think you’re waay more stubborn than you think you are

13. People think you are either confused and weird or really smart when you explain your thought processes

14. You make a bunch of assumptions that you assume everyone else makes too, and when you see their confused look you are unsure of what they want you to explain

15. You don’t understand your body, what it’s trying to tell you, or what it wants. (Eating crackers, afterward has a huge stomach ache because you weren’t actually hungry)

16. You can shift perspective so easily that you easily can imagine what somebody else is thinking or feeling. When you share these observations with others, they tell that your are narrow minded and judgmental - only as you have spent so much time in your head shifting perspective, narrow minded and judgmental is exactly what you are not.

Living with Extroverts

Extrovert: *comes home from work* Hello friend! *turns on all the lights* How was your day? *turns on the TV* What did you do today? *blasts the radio* My day was pretty good *opens all the windows* A bit tired though *clatters around in the kitchen* Don't mind me I like a little background noise =)

Introvert: oh my god

Go to Sleep, Little INF

The introverted Idealist is an unusual creature. On the surface, they might seem calm, collected—even aloof. However, if you had a special device that could open their mind and peer inside, you would see a sparkling kaleidoscope of emotion.  But not simple emotion: sad, happy, or angry. Oh no, such stale emotion is rarely felt. They feel to the highest degree. Not sad, but depressed.  Not happy, but elated. Not angry: they are furious.

Ordinary human beings, when tired, typically experience at least one of, but are not limited to, the following reactions: irritability, lethargy, and an overall sense of heightened negative emotion, also known as hypersensitivity. Not good for the already prone to melancholy INFJ and INFP. So, while the ordinary sleep deprived individual may feel cranky, the INF might feel, pardon the term, “pissed off.” Perhaps even an inexplicable urge to be violent or open the teary floodgates, both of which cause guilt. One: because un-provoked violence is frowned upon, and two: so is crying for no reason.

There is only one known cure for this hypersensitivity: sleep. Not one to five hours. Seven to ten. Easier said than done, especially if you’re an insomniac. And INFs usually have highly creative, overactive inner thoughts that keep their minds spinning to the point where falling asleep is difficult.

Thankfully, all hope is not lost. For the extra-disciplined, there is the practice of going to bed and waking up at the exact time every day. You will find that after some time, you will fall asleep and wake up with very little effort. Granted, you may see a decrease in social activity, and feel as though you may not be getting enough work done, but you can trust that this is by far the healthiest sleeping practice.

Another sleep practice that causes immense negative consequences: lying awake in bed, wishing you could fall asleep. Don’t do it. If this happens consistently, it’s because your body has trained itself to be awake in bed. Get up, go read, go back to bed and try again. Do something mind-numbingly boring. Just don’t lie there.

Unfortunately, healthy sleep practices do not cure all hypersensitivity in the INF, or any F for that matter. But it does help quite a bit. Not getting adequate sleep exacerbates any negative emotion, and adequate sleep does lead to much better moods, and better overall health. So go to sleep. You’ll be happy you did.

Not loving yourself does not necessarily mean that you cannot love others. It means that you cannot let them love you

I went to the circus today. It was the most fun I've had in along time.

Hehe perhaps I should try that....

It's been a while!

I feel like I've been away from Tumblr (even though I check it every day!) But anyway... Please send me questions or requests! I'm looking forward to some new input!

Ni Problems

Your friends get annoyed when you predict what will happen in a movie, including the ending.

Knowing something and not knowing how you know it 

Getting annoyed and confused when someone jumps from one unrelated topic to another 

You’re constantly inside of your head. It’s not surprising for you to zone out and lose your sense of self and the physical reality

Planning is a necessity. You just don’t do spontaneity.

You love metaphors and symbolism. Ooo do you think that represents the relationship between this and this??? Whoa! Guess what, nobody actually cares nearly as much about this as you do.

You remember exactly how you felt at an event and what impression it made on you but you can’t for the life of you remember the color of the walls, what food was served there, or the name of anyone you met

As far as planning goes, everyone else is 5,000 steps behind you. The problem? Nobody seems to care about catching up.

You cannot live in the moment. You cannot.

You’re an unforgiving perfectionist. You have an immaculate vision of how you’d like things to be but you fail to realize it’s an unrealistic goal, so you will always feel mildly dissatisfied with whatever you do

Having an incredible epiphany in the middle of nowhere with nowhere to write it down, and nobody to tell

Liking a movie or book simply because it actually did something you couldn’t predict. Doesn’t matter if the rest of it was shit– you are impressed.

One of your predictions turns out wrong and you are confused and angry at yourself.

You know that something will come to an end, and everyone keeps telling you “Just enjoy it while it lasts”. But you can’t. You’re always thinking about the endpoint. You’d love more than anything to just enjoy it while it lasts but that is just not how you work. While that end is not even close to arriving yet, you’re already thinking about how you will deal with it when it’s over.

You are reluctant to watch trailers to movies because you can fill in the gaps between all of the scenes– after viewing a trailer, you feel like you’ve watched the entire movie.

You dislike someone and you have no idea why (hint: You unconsciously processed their body language). You are frustrated because everyone else seems to like them, but you can’t explain why you dislike them so you just keep your mouth shut until that person inevitably ends up being a douchebag and you don’t even have the satisfaction of saying “I knew it” because to everyone else it will just seem like hindsight bias

When you’re an Ni-dom and you have to deal with the alienating “super psychic special snowflake unicorn” stereotype. You do not feel special. You are just you.

“How do you know that?” “I…I dunno.” “That’s complete bullshit then.”
