I want INFP's to participate..
NUMBER ONE RULE 1# OF THIS THREAD:
Answer as CONFIDENTLY and as CREATIVELY as possible. The art of elaboration is not pollution, it is a gift.
I don't want to hear us being hard on ourselves in this thread, we've done that enough!
Screw the people who think we're not intelligent enough, because we are. Our creative processes and unique insights make us intelligent enough, but we're often overlooked.
Hey if other types can find strengths in their strengths without seeming to be ashamed of it, why can't we?
Anyway..
What do you like about being INFP?
I like that I value certain emotions that appear to be overlooked. For example, people seem to underestimate the depth and importance of ''this just feels right'' feeling. I value subtle emotions, gestures and even the subtle signs in life, and now I realize that placing such creative, courageous value is a great gift. I don't see as attempting to keep in touch with your inner child, with your longing for peace, with your questioning of things in the physical reality as weak. I see those things as beautiful, and necessary to be balanced with a strength of believing in yourself and human reasoning.
I like that I often try as hard as possible to keep in touch with my heart and soul, and not always let my mind forget who I really am at the core. I try not to get too off the ground, I just try to find balance because I believe balance is important without losing sight of what matters to you in your inner world.
As they say happiness and inspiration are an inside job, I believe that, I believe that we have the power, but we have to figure out the significant keys to believing in ourselves.
I like that I am intuitive, and I often know about things before they come to the surface without the need to go through careful reasoning. I like that I am creative and can express myself greatly in written words.
How do you observe people?
I internalize greatly when I observe people. I pay attention to what happens to my feelings at both the subtle and deep level when I look into their eyes, listen to what they have to say or read the words they have typed online. I often trust my intuition as a powerful tool, sometimes as though it is a moving force all on its own.
I am a person with highly subjective inner nature and outwardly moderate behavior, those two things combine to make a balanced individual even though I am socially reserved.
What do you like/appreciate very much in life that you hope will help lead you to a greater future?
I like to study, analyze and make subjective conclusions from things that are considered unusual. I often find myself attracted to what may be of highly unique and overlooked nature. I store away what I learn so that in the future I might be able to make better conclusions and then introduce newer, fresher and more different perspectives that most people may not consider before. It is still a highly evolving and sometimes scary journey, being an idealist and wondering if people might take you seriously, but it's a wonderful adventure!
I hope I'll be a better writer and hopefully someday make people see why it's important to be more balanced in both the highly personal and political arenas of the world.
How do you think you can be more confident in yourself if you're still struggling?
Yes I still struggle very hard, because I grew up feeling completely different from everyone else, even the people I love the most and eevn my whole family.
I think a way for me to be more confident in myself is to just not only accept, but embrace my eccentric side and stop questioning too much, because at the end of the day, I cannot be a carbon copy of someone else's fixed thoughts and personalities.
I still question a lot, but I'm trying not to.
