Relatable No. 110

Have you ever spent years developing a soft and caring personality and pushed all the negativity to the back of your mind and now you feel like a ticking bomb full of anger and hatred? No? Just me?

[infp-relatable]

Just out of curiosity I have bipolar and when I take the mbti I always end up with enfp-t or infp-t depending on mania/depression, wondering if you (or any of your followers?) relate

It’s basically what I experience! When I’m feeling down, I tend to be more introverted. When I’m feeling great, ENFP takes over. The whole deal is that even though I like my extraverted side more, my natural state is INFP.

Relatable No. 109

Is it just me or do you sometimes fail on purpose because you don’t want to know whether you’d fail too if you tried your best?

[infp-relatable]

I’m heartbroken. A few days ago, my relationship came to an end and I don’t know what to do next. I was feeling very anxious and unappreciated in that relationship, and I talked about it with my partner, but when I thought we could fix it, he decided it was not gonna work, so we broke up. I’m still in some kind of shock because I still have feelings of course, and I miss him. We didn’t break up in a bad way, so I still look forward to a friendship, but I don’t know what I should do these days.

I’m very sorry to hear that, but hey, every ending is a new beginning!

The ultimate medicine right now is to spend as little time as possible with the person and distarct yourself with different kids of hobbies. Do art! Listen to music! Exercise! Watch movies! Be creative.

Try not to give in to the gloom, but if you must, don’t hold your tears back.

Talk to a friend about your feelings, but don’t force yourself.

Let me tell you, we’ve all been there. And it did got better eventually.

Time will heal the scars.

[infp-relatable]

I don't know why but during this whole social distancing thing, I have felt myself just wanting to be alone a lot more than I usually do. But my family always wants me to be with them downstairs. I understand where they are coming from but I feel so bored and drained when I hang out with my family. I don't know what to do. I feel so out of it. How do I explain to them that I would rather spent time by myself than with them?

You have to be patient and communicate properly. If your family mambers are not toxic, they will understand that their constant company doesn’t suit you. If they are toxic, on the other hand, the best thing you can do, I believe, is to hang out with them less and less over time without them noticing. Stay present for the “big hangouts” so that they don’t feel like you’re isolating entirely, but don’t make your presence seem “common”.

So I’m talking to someone rn and I’ve never been in a relationship (we’re not dating yet but we’re working up to it) and I keep finding myself thinking about when I get into a relationship and I get struck with this panic. I start to worry about him getting to know me more and I get nervous thinking about it. I’ve never done this and he’s had many gfs in the past so I’m just nervous...

Oh, relationships are something you just gotta work through! It’s okay to be nervous, but if I my suggest, share my advice with your potential partner. I call it the 3C:

1. Consent;

2. Communication;

3. Compromise.

So as long as you talk about your feelings, what are you comfortable with and your boundaries, there’s nothing you should worry about. Just find out what you like!

[infp-relatable]

Hey!

I believe I’m in a pretty good spot in life right now to chat or try to help anyone, but remember - I’m not a professional. All I do is offer advice derived from my own experience. If you feel like it, ask me anything or DM me, but do not take me too seriously!!

And stay safe! I love you guys, you are an incredible community and I’m blessed to have you!

[infp-relatable]

I always feel like no one ever really understands me, nor do I think that someone ever will, but I hate saying stuff like this, cuz I feel like I sound like a whiny teenager. Is that just a me thing, or is that an Infp thing?

This is so relatable!!

Yeah, INFP is the second rarest type so it’s hard to find someone like us, even though it’s kind of our special power to track down other INFPs.

I believe the goal is to understand and accept oneself.

[n-e-a-r]

If you truly are different, and if you’re searching for understanding in MBTI, you won’t find it here. You sound just like me a few months ago…if truly no one understands you in real life, it won’t be much better even in MBTI community. I’m an INTP, and i was deeply disappointed by other INTPs, although they are completely normal. I guess i was different even in these standards…I’m saying all this, because apparently you know how hard it is to open up and say “no one understands me“ or “i’m different”. That’s probably why you asked anonymously. I address this to you (the anon) specifically, because i believe you’ll understand how i mean it, although others may not, and that’s completely okay. MBTI will bring you a temporary satisfaction, but if you really are different, after some time you’ll find out that there still isn’t anyone that understands you in MBTI community. Maybe few people, but i can assure you it doesn’t depend on type, only in some aspects. Although i have a good experience with INFPs. If your difference is similiar to mine, it doesn’t lie in typology. And i still don’t know where it does lie… I know how this all sounds, like i’m special or something, but if you were saying the truth, you’ll understand. I hope this does get to you. Just…don’t expect that you’ll find understanding here. Or at least for me it wasn’t the understanding i was looking for. But maybe you’ll be different, i just wanted to tell you. Good luck! - 𝔫

Highlighting this absolute treasure of a reblog. Thank you for this addition, I hope the anon sees this!

[infp-relatable]

Sorry for spamming so much, but I’ve just found this community, and it’s just so interesting to read all these and I was wondering if anyone else does that: I hate when the teacher calls my name, without me having raised my hand, cuz every time before I raise my hand, I practice in my head what I‘m going to say and how I‘m going to say it, and if I can‘t do that, I‘ll just stutter no matter how easy the question is, and then feel dumb and weird the rest of the day and 5 years later.

Oh boy, do I have plenty bad memories of me being awkward at school that literally no one else remembers...

First of all, yeah, this happens and it’s uncomfortable, but this is one of the things that I believe will improve over time. It happened to me and I thought I was a lost cause! But I tried to work on it.

You see, the first step is to realize that nobody actually cares. Whatever you say, whether your classmates laugh at you or not, everyone forgets instantly. I have literally zero memories about others being awkward, only about myself.

There is no reason to hold on to those memories. And there is no shame in saying that you don’t know the answer!

If you struggle with anxiety, you can try therapy or just find your own way to cope! Hey, I managed that, so I don’t see a reason why you couldn’t too. I’m rooting for you!!

[infp-relatable]

How can I be less vulnerable? Idk I‘m so tired of how easily I get hurt, like c‘mon emotions, keep it down a bit!

My philosophy is to let emotions flow. You will find yourself in difficult situations, yes, but over all your life will get easier. If you feel something, don’t hold it back or you’ll eventually blow up.

Relatable No. 108

Being isolated isn’t a problem for us, itroverts. The problem is being isolated with other people. Especially family members.

[infp-relatable]

Hey I'm confused if I'm an Info or an Enfp? Can you point out some differences that would make it easier for me to distinguish? Thanks! Have a nice day ✨

Welcome to the club, buddy.

Sorry, I’m not the best person to ask because (according to no scientific research) I believe that a lot of INFP people are just ENFPs with anxiety and/or depression. Usually, I’m an INFP but whenever I lose my boudaries (when I’m tired, intoxicated, online), I turn into an extrovert. A lot of INFPs are like this but I’m not sure if that’s because INFPs cope like that or we are just anxious extraverts.

Perhaps that’s the whole point - people were always viewed as introverted, or normal, just because the majority of people is extraverted. Then the word ambivert was created but that only devided people into a third group. I wonder what would the world be like if mental illness was not looked down upon and saying that you’re introverted wouldn’t automatically put you in a worse perspective in an extraverts’ view.

I believe that INFPs and ENFPs are very much the same and if you can’t tell which one are you, you probably are both. You probably are NFP because whether you’re I or E should not be that important.

Welp, you probably didn’t get the answer you wanted, I’m sorry for this philosophical rant.

Relatable No. 107

It’s funny how we put off work due to stress but it only creates, like, different kind of stress.

[infp-relatable]

do you think certain personality types are more common in people with mental illnesses or neurodivergence? it would make sense, i think, because as you said, personality type is shaped by your childhood experiences, when your brain is developing

I can’t say for sure, I’m not a psychiatrist. But I think there is a certain pattern. I don’t believe mental illnesses are the case, but neurodivergence for sure.

[infp-relatable]

Also does being infp make me fall in love faster?

Again, it’s an individual thing. Just because it’s common doesn’t mean it’s true for everyone. But yes, INFPs and ENFPs are the types which are the most likely to fall in love very fast very often.
