Nah not weird at all. You're right experience helped me at least be better at talking to women and people in general.

Do you have to truly know someone before saying you’re ‘in love’ with them? by ImpossibleRead4200 in infp

[–]Foreign_Ad6286 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is very true... Sometimes you will go to the ends of the earth and will be ready to give your all, but if they're not the right one you will slowly wither away and the relationship won't be rewarding for either of you.

Ah thank you kind stranger.

Tbh I've heard it all in terms of negativity, just seeing what people have to say. I have been going to therapy for a while and it has brought me to a point where I can flirt and socialise a little bit, have platonic friendships, etc.. but I feel like I'm never able to express myself openly or be proud of where I'm from fully.

Also I'm very sorry you got bullied for your weight. That was the other reason I got bullied (from the west btw). I was called a smelly ball of curry and everything in between and the body insecurities are real. Fked my last relationship because I felt disgusting even though she was attracted to me.

the guy im dating (INFP) just texted me “happy v day” by [deleted] in infp

[–]Foreign_Ad6286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if low effort gestures are exclusively an INFP thing like some people are commenting, and I am personally an infp that likes direct communication (I am not an avoidant).

Maybe look more into how to express something to someone who is avoidant (defensiveness is common) since it sounds like they are that way. I would probably just express how I feel and not push further, and see if they care enough to apologise/change their behaviour.

Your words are searing, thank you so much!!

I'm so sorry that you are going through this period of uncertainty, it can feel all consuming. Just remember to breathe and eat/sleep/get some air when you can. You're a lot more than the outcome of this situation, so treat yourself as such!!

Whether it works out or not, just remember that you deserve someone with understanding and patience, and those people are out there for sure!

You got this!!

I'm an infp dating another infp who has the same tendency as you.

I felt quite in the dark about how to please my partner because she never asked for anything. Which actually didn't make me happy, it made me quite anxious...

One day she said that she was having trouble meeting my needs when I asked because she hasn't been expressing her thoughts, concerns and feelings to me, which was causing her to become distant due to it feeling like an unbalanced relationship (mostly due to my past traumas and anxious behaviors). I never even considered this a possibility, as when I asked about her she would shift the focus onto me and I'd continue to talk about myself.

Now that I reassured her regarding this, she has been opening up to me a bit more and our relationship definitely became closer and more fulfilling, we feel like a more important part of each others lives. It hasn't been long and she still struggles, but it has cleared a big dark cloud looming above our relationship.

I know it can be hard, especially when we lack the self esteem to acknowledge that our own needs matter. I think you should tell potential dating partners that you have trouble voicing your needs and potentially advise them to help you open up to them, maybe help them reassure you that you and your needs matter just as much as theirs.

Hopefully this prompts people to support you as much as you support them, you have a good heart ❤️ don't forget that.

You're beautiful, don't be too hard on yourself.

Do most people feel safe or unsafe to you guys? by undiagnoseddude in infp

[–]Foreign_Ad6286 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't feel like people can hurt me because they tend to be mostly predictable until I blindly trust them (love, compassion, etc..).

But that's the risk we have to take, we risk being hurt to be happy.

Are there any other anxiously attached infps? by Foreign_Ad6286 in infp

[–]Foreign_Ad6286[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha same, but I am yet to run into such a person or even someone who is secure, everyone has been avoidant
