1. Every other personality type has it out for INFPs wtf every video I watch. but their probably saying right now look at that emotional INFP proving my point. I just don't like how were viewed as emotional weaklings. I know an INFO d trey are so emotionally unstable its unreal. they are like the shadow versions of INFPs

2. I'm in between INFJ and INFP. One test I took had me 1% more J, but I'm guessing if I took another test I could easily be more towards P. My parents also seem to be in between P and J (although neither are INF).

   I found this video because I wanted a greater understanding of myself, but I haven't really spent much time studying MBTI. It's on the long list of things I'd like to do, but haven't gotten around to doing. So where do I go from here?

3. Thanks again for your interesting videos. As an INFJ I am rediscovering myself and your advice and guidance is really helping me. The more I am watching them the more I am learning about myself. Your personal anecdotes are so similar to mine and as I am researching more about INFJs and INFPs, your videos are being very useful. I must tell you that someday I would like to meet you in person. My regards to you….

4. i actually want you to do an interaction video between Chad from MBTV as an ENTJ and Halle INTJ together.

5. I like how you explain things out. My boss is an infp…its hard sometimes!

6. I really don't like that word "push" being used here. What would you do to push an INFP to meet new people? Because when people think they're going to push me to do something I start having this strong desire for them to get run over by a bus so I'm kind of disagreeing with your advise there lol…………..

7. My Infp friend is my twin & soul mate.. we are one the same page all the time in most things

8. you shouldn't be too careful either

9. I have to be honest and say that I felt a little (only a little!) offended as an INFP by your video. (no surprises there)
   We really have different motivations in life…thats clear. An INFP is focussed on challenging the status quo..and going against the social norms… wheras INFJ values group involvement and success in society. Hence "success" for an INFP is each person becoming their own mature individual self APART FROM THE WHOLE…wheras INFJ desires group acceptance and INCLUSION aka validation from the group….thus INFP's have a lot to offer an INFJ…and that is to help them INDIVIDUATE and empower them to not always choose the people pleasing and adaptive behaviour. Like all Fe types …they hide their own VALUES (likes/dislikes) in order to create harmony…but essentially this will always fail without inclusion of your own VALUES in relationships.. I can see that you talk about INFP as if we are NAIVE and need to be treated like a child…and that isnt so…actually the Ne in us makes us look to the world as if we are childlike sometimes….but underneath, our Fi is much more mature and "wise"…but is rarely seen apart from the occasional emotional outburst of sensitivity. You have to realise that that sensitivity is actually coming from a deep perception of things..a deep understanding of emotion. INFP's try to help you at your core , aka fix your motivations for doing what you do…wheras INFJ try to use emotions to help motivate your ACTIONS to help others…not change you at your core. Thus when an INFP disapproves of your behaviour they will attack your CHARACTER as a PERSON..wheras an INFJ will only respond to your ACTIONS that affect the group/hinder serving the group/others. An INFP will walk with you into those dark places in yourself to use their empathy to bring awareness and healing to the coore pain that causes your dysfunctional behaviour..this requires SENSITIVITY. Thus Fe types are too afraid to go there.

   Remember that INFP's can often see Fe as "patronising"…and this is because Fe users are actually suppressing their own Fi….their own subjective emotions/experience…and it is their lack of awareness of these emotions that make them feel "superior" to Fi users who seem sensitive.. but sadly it is because they suppress their own sensitivity. It is this same sensitivity that gives an INFP the ability to understand your emotions to a fine degree and empathise with your world view.

   also.. we're not avoiding people because your emotions affect us.. we're avoiding people for one of two reasons.. 1. because we see through their social maasks into the motivations behind their actions and we disapprove of the inauthenticity or lack of moral character we see. 2. We dont like feeling obliged to go along with the crowds emotional atmosphere if we arent feeling it.

   anyway. I really appreciate you making this video. it really helped me see things more clearly from an INFJ perspective. much respect and thanks for sharing your views.

10. Nice video! Like # 164 and subscribed! ;-)

11. this explains so much to me, thank you from an INFP

12. https://aparadigmrift.com/2016/06/01/infps-and-harry-potter/ <— Article providing insight into INFP's and why they tend to gravitate towards Harry Potter

13. I know this isn't a constructive comment, but what in the hell is she talking about? I was mesmerized by the shirt though. That is one bad-ass shirt.

14. so tell me…please don't be mean …. all infj i've met were this things:they help you because they feel "special" they can do more than you and they want something in return If you know what I mean…
    they act with you like they really like you but they gossip you and (i've heard "informations" from them about others people and about me from others people ); they can hate you so much they will try to make you a false reputation. they say things that "blow your mind" but in reality they diverge from the subject.
    they play with your words to make them suit for them to e over you.
    if you understand…i've been used this way and i've seen other people in this problem….
    i've met two infjs maybe it's a stupidity to judge something just for two pieces of the whole…but i know you are rare…
    i'm not trying to say something mean about you i've been hurt so hard you would not expect me to be alive! trust me!
    i want to meet one of you who is not an asshole i want…a…encouraging word from someone, maybe?
    :(

15. As an INFP, I'm sorry we are so emotional

16. Thank you dear for slap some sense into my head me as INFP, from the bottom of my heart appreciate your advice, thank you ❤

17. wow, you've really helped me understand myself !! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! :)

18. I really agree with most of you've said! most people think it's infjs who are bombarded with other people's feelings, but there is no escape from that sphere for us INFPs! That's why I've had to be distant with so many people in my life which really doesn't work because the fact they're around changes the whole sphere of emotion!

19. I am INFJ, My daughter is an INFP and so is my mom… Yet they are so different. The one thing they have in common is lack of organization and they both need to be pushed pushed pushed to do certain things! Sometimes you just want to give up and I do at times… But if I give up on them then everyone fails. It's frustrating…. The good side is they have insight about things that I don't or take things serious or not serious on a topic where I do the opposite. This forces me to think…

20. You have no fucking idea what you're talking about. You're making surmises and basing all your statements on stereotypes that you have probably not researched yourself to make a conclusion based on a meta, empirically researched study.

21. Im an INFP and im finding very hard to follow her voice dont know why tough

22. I would like to say thank you for this on behalf of INFP's. I learned how to better manage myself a bit. Sometimes, since our imaginations can drift off so easily (particularly due to our Ne and Fi function stacks), it is much harder for us, compared to other types, to become consciously aware of our own thoughts, feelings, etc. This is not to say that is an excuse just that it is extremely difficult especially on our own. Thank you for giving out advice to others on how to help us as well as helping us help ourselves. You seem as though you would make an awesome friend due ro your understanding of so many types (especially your own ) Thanks again! p.s. I like your shirt you pull it off well. :)
