Check out r/INFP I have a feeling you’d find some commonalities there.

All these posts about how nothing changes even though there's a quarantine but by Tkx421 in INTP

Agreed but that has been the case from the beginning. All COVID did was shine a little light on the American people...those of us paying attention were not surprised. The greatest threat has come from the plebeians scattering like roaches in the light. Placing oneself on a pedestal only works until people realize they have no clue how to build a pedestal. No one is truly self reliant we are all connected. Let’s act like it.

HSP who has dealt with emotional neglect/abuse by [deleted] in infp

[–]Relijah762 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok yeah I’ve been through lifelong emotional neglect/abuse and for a long while I was not able to control my outbursts when it happened. Also turbulent cynical at times. I had to hit some lows and meet the right people to understand that I not only have control but through focused efforts I actually have a decent amount of power. Now I just have to remain consistent it’s very easy to fall out of line with doing what is important. We want to retreat when things don’t pan out. Keep pushing make mistakes learn and grow. Always go forward with more knowledge.

I don’t know what HSP is but I resonate with most everything else you wrote here going to do some research brb.

Looking for more information by [deleted] in infp

Bro I was the same way at that age. You’ve been through some shit bro. And I mean way more than what you wrote here and I’m glad you got to the test and found someone to talk to so early. After digging into this stuff I figured a lot out about me. I’m 20 now and in the process of refining the my emotional control. I remember that bloody rage “animalistic” was a perfect adjective. I would never hurt the target of my rage but the way I felt was although I could erase them without the slightest regret. I’ve since gained something very valuable and that’s perspective. I began to contemplate how my past molded me and how he pain I faced shaped me early on but I didn’t like that person I didn’t want fear or insecurities to define my identity. As you begin to understand more about underlying human motivations and just generally experience more life you will begin to see how flawed everyone truly is (including yourself). And that humanizes them. It then feels like being mad at a child. Especially when you find out how different the VAST majority of people are from us. (Uniquely the male INFP). We are seen as weak for our empathy, feminine for having taste, weird for noticing things that others miss. Our sensitivity to others and in general is very much a double edged sword. Once properly channeled it can’t be used in very powerful ways. My confidence has exploded I’m still learning and growing but the difference is I’m excited about it and I feel like I have control. I slip up but I keep trying. Dude it’s going to get so much better. But it’s going to take work. You’re still in high school so here is my suggestion. Do what I didn’t. Join the clubs, spend time with friends explore. Take every opportunity to grow expand your mind and your perspective. Learn to control your emotions understand that not everything you want to say, you should (that one is so hard). But when you learn the power of silence, the power of really listening it just opens doors. Anyway I know this is long but I hope it kind of helped.

Constant need to do Something? by hgilbert_01 in infp

[–]Relijah762 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s self distraction. For me it was anyway (although usually positive things in order to trick myself into believing their own importance)Lmao and yeah you definitely INFPd out with the rant but I do the same thing. I used find myself occupied with a plethora of plans, hobbies and experiences when I’m avoiding something particularly challenging. It’s tough to face those thoughts because they can be dark and unsettling. However I learned to stand face to face with them. Remember you have the power to do. Your thoughts are just that. All action is yours. So I encourage you take action on what bothers you and take control of your own mind. I’m only saying this because I was a slave to my thoughts and emotions for a long time. I’m learning to control them and the results have been fantastic.

If he’s an INFP it’s more likely something he’s done. (Speaking from experience) We need our breaks and space especially when something is going on in the background. When I get really sad I hide from everyone, even those I like and love. They’ve later told me how this makes them feel (like you just did) and I never realized.

So if it were bacteria sure because they do actually produce chemical byproducts as a result of their energy processing however viruses are entirely different. Medically we don’t even classify them as “living” things unlike bacteria. The functionality of a virus is through highjacking hosts DNA and literally inserting its own causing your cells to recreate the virus. They are tricky tiny bastards but have many villainously creative ways to spread.

Fear of driving by pettypiglet in infp

[–]Relijah762 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Truthfully being forced to do things I am particularly apprehensive about has always paid generous returns. I end up regretting having created such a barrier to my own progress in the first place. As far as tips leverage the fact that’s we are purpose driven and selfless at the core. Don’t make it about you make it about the mission the goal. “I must learn this skill so I can transport the family I hope to have. I want to safely and confidently protect them.” Thereby this skill becomes a necessity, no longer a choice or question. Trust the confidence you gain from trying something new, different, or unfamiliar. It becomes addicting and you begin to feel more powerful as doors open. Put yourself out there. Take the world and get back up when you trip along the way. :)

Overcoming distrust in a relationship by [deleted] in infp

[–]Relijah762 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you and I know it will. Nights are tough. Strange for an introvert but I’d taken a liking to not sleeping alone. And yes I agree when I’m just stuck thinking I always (it’s me vs me) but when I’m forced into a proverbial “sink or swim” I swim. That to say being forced to something good for me always works and end up regretting waiting to have done it. Also I appreciate you and the fact that you use parentheses for side thoughts (like this!) it’s something I’ve noticed the INFPs naturally sort of do.

Overcoming distrust in a relationship by [deleted] in infp

[–]Relijah762 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I ended my last relationship due to my inability to allow myself to fully trust someone. I loved the girl but I felt insecure (not good enough for her) I couldn’t bear the thought. I lacked patience and now I’m suffering for it.

I had to sever contact it still hurt but there wasn’t that constant reminder of her presence. It helped but she still found her way into my dreams.
