People: "INFPs are so cute, sweet and are literally unicorns that spew rainbows". Me:

(I mean we aren't 'bad' people, but we're not total pushovers.)

Before any of you that are new to MBTI make the mistake that F types are sweet souls who would never hurt anyone, I would like to inform you that my ISFP friend once had to go to school when she was really sick, so out of spite she rubbed her germs on one of the railings and ended up infecting like half the student body

Aren't Feeling Types Motivated by What they Feel? Of course. Everyone is. The point, however, is that our functions are mental processes. They operate separately from our emotional system. When we use a function enough, we're emotionally invested in the choices it encourages, but this is true of all functions, and it's not the same thing as acting directly on what we feel.

MBTI Expectation vs. Reality

Expectation:

Feeling type: Is always crying for nothing and everything.

Thinking type: cold robot that can't feel any emotions and is mean.

Reality:

Feeling type: "Don't hurt the potato chip! It has a SOULLLLL!!!!"

Thinking type: "it's a fuCKING POTATO CHIP?!?!?!"

Listen. I know right now your feelings are all over the place. They're so intense. They're so powerful that it feels like you won't survive the next day because everything just feels... Too much. You worry and care and love and hate so strongly. Spoiler alert; tomorrow will be okay. These feelings will pass. You will calm down. It will be okay. Tomorrow will come. And that's okay.

Support in relationships

One thing some feeling types don't get about thinking types is that when we offer support for someone having a problem, it probably won't be emotional support. I've had friends ask me for support for the same problems over and over again and I've been confused as I have helped them (by offering solutions) but I just didn't realise that they weren't looking for that, they were looking for emotional help. So just a friendly reminder to everyone that if someone keeps bringing up the same problems to you over and over again, maybe changing your approach in support will benefit your relationship... But also, for those who constantly complain that someone is not offering them "proper" support, it may be better to actually tell them that when you complain you may want a specific type of support or even a mixture of the two.

In your opinion, what are the reasons that there is more INFJ females than INFJ males? Also... What are might be the difference between the INFJ male and the INFJ female? Thank you and by the way I really like your blog.

Most statistics I have seen show that in general, more feelers tend to be female and more thinkers tend to be male. As far as introvert/extrovert, intuitive/sensing, and judging/perceiving, it can go either way but with feeling/thinking there is a noticeable correlation with gender, so that is why you tend to see more INFJ females.  

I have never met a male that I knew to be an INFJ so I’m personally not too sure about the differences besides one has a penis and one has a vagina haha. 

Anyway, thank you for your kind words.
