We can all work to change our actions, but you'll never be able to change who you are. Might as well love yourself!
I've wondered the same thing...but then I realized...
Why fight who you are? We are a very rare type, so a lot of others might think we're weird or not be able to relate to us. We can pretend we're aggressive go-getters, pretend we always have out feet on the ground and our heads out of the clouds, pretend we're not governed by our feelings...
But the one thing I have learned here, in my whole two days, haha, is that I'm not ashamed of who I am anymore! All of these things people are posting about - I'm realizing - I'm not a total weirdo! I'm not an eccentric, lazy, hermit! Well, I am, but so is everyone else here.

i have a theory that if i were truly happy, i would not be an INFP. To be an infp is to embrace sadness, loneliness, low self esteem, and self loathing. You take away all the negative traits that we have and guess what, we no longer fit the INFP description. The upside to an INFP is that we want to help the world, are creative, and we are completely selfless and therefore, we can sacrifice ourselves for the greater good, . None of these "positive" traits will lead us anywhere in terms of true happiness. To be happy is to be selfish, arrogant, ignorant, and shallow.
Sorry for the hate fellow infps, in one of those shitty moods.
As grim as that outlook is, it's true. I'm an INFP, and I can't get rid of that incessant voice in my head that always tells me what a horrible person I am. I know I have my quirks, but whenever I compare myself to others I feel like I fall short. I feel like I'm superior to others in some ways, but at the same time feel as if there's something wrong with me and that I'm some strange alien that was placed on planet Earth.
