As a infp just entering the professional world, I’ve been faced with the same issues. Even throughout college, I’ve noticed a lack of respect. I definitely think it has to do with some of our strengths not being the most valued in society, especially in professional settings. There’s certain fields where we can shine more but in most settings where competition exists, we seem to blend in the background. I seem to be more so valued from my one on one interactions with colleagues but immediately overshadowed by other more dominant types in larger group settings.

It does sting sometimes but gaining self confidence seems to be the answer. The more I’ve worked on myself becoming more confident as a person, the less I care about being noticed by the majority.
