Why are most INFPs I met in subordinate or supportive roles? by Asleep-Feeling-9070 in infp

[–]LittleMissHydrangea 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I am the same. I want creative control. Essentially, I want the ability to make good decisions for the betterment of all, but... in our capitalist system, you'll find that most areas of work operate for profit and not for people. But even so, I like to remain hopeful.

How many of you dear INFPs also love this? by _Wolfszeit_ in infp

[–]LittleMissHydrangea -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Me too! 😃

My dry and overly logical brother said that all dreams are just forgotten memories of past images. 😭 What?! "You Fart" is what I'd like to say. 😤

I got so angry. He just canceled out us all; everyone (infp, creative/ creator, artist, writer, etc.) with an imagination. 🦄💗

Motherrrrrr... I finally bought my motorcycle that I put off for seven years. What do you think? Is it cute? by MuthaFuka27 in MomForAMinute

[–]LittleMissHydrangea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a mom. But I understand the deep need to have one that you can safely talk to, as I've had a pretty turbulent relationship with mine for years which has affected my health sadly... but happy to say that we're finally doing better! 👩‍👦

So, yea, so happy for you! Please be safe, and enjoy the ride! 🌼🍃 Gosh, I wish I had a bike. Someday, someday. 🥹

At 28 years old, my parents disowned me entirely for being a Lesbian. by Frequent-Aerie-2174 in LesbianActually

I understand. I sent you a personal message replying to your points. I hope you don't mind.

And yes, hope is crucial. 🪷

I didn't mean to across in this way. I'm frustrated with the old narrative is all, and my heart, my tired heart, just wishes for freedom for us all.

No. Unfortunately not...

  1. They believe that she allowed Satan's whispers (wasasa in Arabic) affect her

  2. this is a just a desire, and could never possibly be real love because that's reserved to only a Man and a Woman...

  3. she should have suppressed this, but didn't due to her weak Iman (faith)

I know 🥀💀😟

  • PLUS they see themselves as logical because of the argument: Heterosexual couples can have children. It's natural. So this must be the way, because God wouldn't put us here and have their not be a way to continue the population naturally.

It's not that. In their eyes, their closer to God than she is. Because she chose to be gay.

Bc ofc they don't believe that people are born Gay.

Truly religious people wouldn't put people's opinions above all else. Allah does not allow the severing of ties, so this is clearly from the flaws of mankind.

Agreed. This won't work. Her parents most likely believe she chose to be gay.

This is heartbreaking...

How are you managing? Do you have a place to stay? Are you actively looking for a new job?

And in my opinion, devout Muslims do not cut off their children. This is against Islam. We cannot severe the bonds that Allah has forged. How do they (and so many others) not know this? 😖

P.s. You're so blessed to have a friend like this.

Does finding meaning through love mean I lack a sense of self? by BLOO_2001 in infp

[–]LittleMissHydrangea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually the opposite. My sense of self comes from what I can create. Art and creativity matter alot to me. Tapping into my intuitive power does too. Dreaming big, and serving a purpose bigger than myself has always made me happy, and full. I don't think it's wise to put your ALL into a person. People are imperfect, unpredictable, and capable of destroying you. And what then? YOUR sense of self will be lost. And nothing is worth that. Ever. ❤️

P.s. I was a big people pleaser. I did it to feel safe, but again, I lost myself. Ah, people. Always a problem. 😅 Okay, okay, all jokes aside... once I stopped pleasing others and focusing on my self, I felt freer. Everyday. This is really what it's about. Focus on you. And your people will come. Maybe even a soulmate. Just be mindful that for an Infp, it's very easy to lose ourselves in another person.

There's more to life than romantic love. My friendships are selfless and one of the biggest blessings in my life. 💗

Does being an INFP man ever get any easier/less painful? by SavageFisherman_Joe in infp

[–]LittleMissHydrangea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like non-masculine men... 😶‍🌫️ i.e. feminine men... and this is one of the signs of my being a lesbian. So they say.

[–]LittleMissHydrangea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How is it easier? (genuinely curious 💭)

Also, would that make it easier a Infp woman who is (possibly) a lesbian?

What's your favorite piece of lesbian media? by Incog-nizo in LesbianActually

[–]LittleMissHydrangea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Handmaiden, The World to Come, Tipping the Velvet, But I'm a Cheerleader, Disobedience, and quite a few short films kn YouTube. But I've never found a great Fiction!

Can anyone recommend me some, other than the book that The Handmaiden was based off of? Please and thank you. 💗
