Experiences with each type.

ENTJ: 

Very low chance they’re wrong.  

Questions to show you your faults. 

Cares but definitely doesn’t always show. 

Stay off their bad side.

“Do it yourself, whether you know how or not.“ 

ENFJ:

Crazy but funny imagination.

Feels they need to tell the world. 

May use experience to outweigh yours.

Usually too much to handle.

Can be a little unreasonable.

ENFP: 

Cutest people you will ever meet. 

Good to talk about values with.

Or talk about anything in general. 

A lot of morals; offended when challenged. 

“WHY AM I SO PRONE TO PAIN.“ 

ENTP:

Really funny.

Also too much to handle.

Tries to prove you wrong. If not, they’ll pretend.

Please think about your actions, my gosh.

You know what respect is, right?

ESTP: 

"Ding dong, you’re wrong.”

How do they do the pressure thing.

And how can one be so messy?? 

Still pretty cool.

A little intimidating though. 

ESFP:

Not compatible with me.

Is kind of mean to others.

But admirable of their extrovert. 

u n r e a s o n a b l e ? 

Definitely a hugger.

ESFJ:

Really big goals. 

Always checking on you… depends though… 

Very open.

Not what you’d expect sometimes. 

Probably needs to chill. 

ESTJ:

“Are you challenging me?" 

Not very aware of a good time.

Like, the right time to talk.

And will keep going on, no matter what. 

But pretty good with life experience.

ISTJ:

Oh boy, the sarcasm.

Most intimidating, have to be cautious.

Good listeners though.

Really doesn’t like when people are late.

Can be pretty funny. They try. 

ISFJ:

Please don’t cross their morals.

It won’t turn out good for you. 

But still really funny. 

And also sarcastic.

Extremely reliable.

ISFP:

Really cares about you.

Even though they like to pretend they don’t.

Can be childish. It’s pretty funny.

Will seem quiet, but will roast you.

Either unsure or too sure.

ISTP:

God bless common interest.

Would love to talk to you about that. 

But can be pretty lazy.

Says something mean and may feel bad. 

But is very blunt either way. 

INTP:

Most sensitive.

But will literally do anything to hide it.

Distracted by things that peak their intellect.

Pretty hard to please though. 

"Here’s 1,000,000 reasons why you’re wrong." 

INTJ:

How can one be so smart??

It’s the coolest thing.

Don’t get them mad though.

Always right… when it comes to information.

Maybe not when it comes to trusting people. (Underlying optimists)

INFP:

Best at understanding.

Deserves so much than they get.

A little too quick on giving up?

Secretly has a very weird mind.

Needs to fend for themselves though. 

INFJ:

Talk to them about their passion.

They will talk non-stop on just that.

If they fix something, don’t touch. 

Perfectionists.

And a walking paradox.

Actually, I thought that INFPs were pretty morally obvious. Most of the life choices an INFP makes are based on one internal personal guideline or another.

Perhaps there might be some confusion as to what exactly are these mysterious INFP morals. Why aren’t they perfectly clear to others? And how does an INFP make decisions based on them?

From personal experience, my internal guidelines are the feels that let me know when something is good or not so good. They probably aren’t based on anything logical other than “be nice to each other and if you’re not nice to someone I care about, I will kick you in your butt!”

So maybe that is morally ambiguous after all…? I’m a nice person and dislike hurting people, but I will harm someone if they hurt a loved one. The morals aren’t ambiguous to me, but maybe it’s unclear to others? Haha! It’s good to keep them guessing. 😅

I also read that abstract thinking is part of being an Intuitive type.

I find it difficult to be objective and answer this question outside of myself. I’m too immersed in it and I’m not certain in this instance what it’s like not to have internal guidelines that help in life. I would be so very lost! 😕

These internal morals aren’t ambiguous to me, but they probably are to non-INFPs? That’s as close to an answer as I have. 💗

Thanks for the question! 😊

Can't take it all at once. TOO COMPLEX

I have had that thought often. Wrong place. Wrong time. Wrong life.

But I’m not sure if it’s the planet that’s wrong, so much as everything around me is wrong.

I look about and listen. I see injustice. I see power plays that take advantage of people. I see children being killed in schools. Lies are told on the television. We are gas-lighted. Stolen from. Told it’s all our imagination.

How is any of that right?

When I was a child I would daydream about living on a healthier world. One that was not this one. But how would I get there? Walk through a door? Exit my body and float to another plane?

I’m obviously still here. Still feeling that this existence is wrong. And not truly knowing how to feel any differently about it, other than putting on my survival mask and pretending that I get through the day like everyone else. 💗

Thanks for the question. 😌

I think I’ve answered variations on this question before. But it’s been a while, so let’s see if I have a different perspective than before.

First, I will say that there are people who do (mostly) understand INFPs. These are usually those who have an INFP in the family, as a close friend, or are in a relationship with an INFP.

As for the rest of the world… There’s quite a bunch of Extroverts and Sensors out there. That’s a good reason people might not understand INFPs.

Want more reasons? 😅 Hmm, let me think… 

INFPs are not a very common type

INFPs are quiet and won’t share themselves with just anyone

INFPs enjoy discussing the unusual and lesser-chosen topics

INFPs spend a lot of time in their heads

INFPs want to explore all the what-ifs before moving on

INFPs may think and speak with metaphors and symbols

INFPs may be distracted by the beauty of trees blowing in the wind

INFPs take part in conversations to listen more than to speak

INFPs will feel emotional pain at another’s distress

INFPs can cry about something other people may not understand

INFPs dislike following the crowd without a good reason

INFPs may talk to animals and inanimate objects

INFPs want to understand the reasons behind someone’s actions

I think the most important reason is the first on my list. INFPs are not a common type. If something is less common, then it is less understood. Bottom line, really. Not sure if there is anything mysterious about it. 💗

Thanks for the question. 😊

Things about you that contrast every stereotype of your MBTI type

(and in general are extremely unlike your type)

Vs

Most stereotypical traits of your's

I'll start:

ESTP (7w6)

Unstereotypical:

I wrote fanfiction, had a phase in which i doodled everyday. Have had one relationship so far, don't drink alcohol and the last time i was at a party was more than a year ago. I also hate team sports with a passion. I love learning new languages and am a total TV show nerd.I also binge watch. Also I have never been in a physical fight. Lmao . Btw i also love to have philosophical conversations with special people and am generally attuned with analyzing my dreams and the meaning behind them. I usually take a lot of time to make friends (real friends).

VS

Stereotypical:

I love the gym , calisthenics etc. I love cars and traveling, and exploring new places with a passion. I generally prefer being outdoors to indoors. I like camping and sometimes am a adrenaline junkie.

Ah yes this feels familiar.

infp's with social anxiety and adhd

It aches, my sweet Lord! And that's my confession. I won't repent for my mania, it's your sane men, they've stung me with their sanity.

-Her Schrodinger's Cat

I dance on my own grave. Don't touch me, I'm a sacred fool. And I'm the happiest.

Her Schrodinger's Cat, Mania 2003

You bleed too much darling, gather up your flesh, drape it around your abysmal void. Nothing is seldom worthy enough to be mourned over till it turns you into a shrine of ghosts gulping tears of every mortal. Love yourself enough till you carry yourself to the grave, my love!

Her Schrödinger's cat, Eleventh insight

It gets sick sometimes to believe we are worthy of smiles. But you gotta "shhh" your mind, for it's such a trickster. Let it hurt a little, let yourself caress the depth of that wound, let yourself measure it with immense compassion, let yourself be happy!

Her Schrödinger's Cat, Tenth Insight

The memories we carry ultimately dissolve into what we fundamentally were; the tiny wild flowers, the rapturous first kiss of a teen couple, the coral pink tints lingering over the sky, the flock of sparrows, the lo-fi melodies, the cup of cappuccino being slurped in the balcony. Isn't it cyclical permanence disguised as impermanence?

Her Schrödinger's Cat, Ninth Insight

I wish I knew something more, felt more.Something I could put my hands on and turn it into celestial sparks. I won't lie, life is not a sane man's business. You can gaze at a lovely meadow and sink into a meditative absurdity. Or you can feel trampled down by the sky above.
