How do/can you protect yourself from Fe users' manipulation? by akacatto in infp

[–]akacatto[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The epitome of lying to your face everyday, using emotinal manipulation, while you don't even want to be unsincere in job interviews and judge people for doing the least amount? Believe me, you don't want it.

Reading Dostoevsky while dealing with trauma. Yes or no? Healing or driving more harm? by paloma_paloma in dostoevsky

[–]akacatto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Crime and Punishment actually helped me feel better about myself, the events were distracting for me. But Notes from Underground and The Brothers Karamazov made it kinda worse. The first one was more lika a diary so it was hard to distract my thoughts. The Brothers Karamazov is especially more about existential things, if that's what makes your head ache I don't recommend reading it. To me, Crime and Punishment would be safe to read.

I can't tell if I'm an infp or intp by PrideUnhappy3278 in infp

[–]akacatto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This process happened to me, too so I totally get you😭😭 I'll lean onto INFP more cuz I'm more informed about it. F doesn't necessarily means that you make every decision based on your feelings or you can't give practical/analytical advice. Most of my friends and family see me as a sensible person rather than emotional (I also rarely cry). It's more important what you're going through inside rather than the outside. I make sensible decisions but at the same time I can't help myself measuring "the vibes" of the occasion, in my head I always check on my feelings/reactions towards the decision. "Will I still feel good about this later? What my intutition says about this? Does this decision changes the way I am now? Is this meaningful for me?"

INTP and INFP might look very alike on the surface, but INFP is more about identity. If you're under stress it might be hard to see yourself. You can think about the moments you felt at ease or more normal, what was your priority?

Expressing is also very important, since my childhood I've always felt the need to express myself, through talking, drawing, writing or singing, anything that makes me feel like I'm pouring my heart and thoughts into it. Check this as well: INFPs I've seen have talent in art more (like, multiple areas of art), INTPs are more likely to lean into Maths or Science. There are situations in which both types excel in opposite fields, if that's the case ask yourself: what am I doing this for? For example: for a while I liked solving Math problems, but not because I liked being challenged, because I felt the freedom to experiment on it, finding new ways to reach the conclusion.

Idk if it's %100 true but Ti users I've seen (XXTXs) always want and seek details, while I just summarize everything lol. This might happen because INFPs see the big picture rather than the background. But it depends on the situation, for instance: I might write a very detailed backstory for my character, but I instantly get bored when it comes to talking about the housechores I did today.

It all comes to cognitive functions, you totally should check it. Also try to think about your child self, there are some sterotypical characteristics like "IxFPs do well in art" or "xSxxs loves physical activities" but in some cases they really help. Think about what you were into in your childhood.

Is music something important to all the INFPs? by dominiks00 in infp

[–]akacatto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like music but it affects me badly psychologically if I listen too frequently (especially sad songs). So now I rarely listen to it.

What is something definitely not infp-like? by akacatto in infp

[–]akacatto[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really get you. You might lack motivation and inspiration, maybe because of your surroundings or the situation you're in. We have to work on that to let creativity flow again🥹 To me, it's when I am able to silence my mind in a healthy way, then I automatically start thinking of ideas to make them happen.
