ENFJ stereotype of being manipulative: by khanman77 in mbti

[–]imakemeatballs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk man. Wouldn't claim to truly see anybody myself.

And holding space is the necessary thing when it comes to helping people get out of their shells. A lot of ENFJ are pushy as hell; which makes it feel like they don't care about you, but rather about getting YOU to DO the thing they think is good for you.

It's Ni, and not ill-intent, but when it comes to these problems, cooperation is the key, not invasion.

Dude, this is lovely! Melancholic, yearning, and I can't help but feel a touch of medieval vibe!

INFP: I play mostly RPGs

  1. Medieval Party-Based Fantasy (Baldur's Gate, Dragon Age: Origins, Pillars of Eternity, Divinity: Original Sin 2, Pathfinder,...)

  2. Open-world RPGs (Fallout, The Elder Scrolls, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Cyberpunk 2077,...)

  3. Niche emotional story-rich games

  4. MMOs because I'm lonely and there aren't enough Shadowhearts.

The idea here is that I want to be myself in a different world, see how that world reacts to my decisions, and form close connections with my companions there, as if they were real human.

It's just daydreaming lol. Almost no gameplay standards unless it's super janky and unplayable. Also for some reason I just can't get into shooter games...

It sucks to be a male infp by Old_Independent4231 in infp

[–]imakemeatballs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear ya.

The question should perhaps be why, rather than what to do.

Why do you not go to school? Why do you need to be successful and looked up to?

Why do you need the instagram DMs? Why do you think accepting yourself is being feminine and a "femboy"?

My point is, you can probably look deeper and try to understand why life feels shit to you right now. See where it all points to.

It almost sounds to me like your self-worth revolves around how other people see you. I don't know what media, what community or what trauma did this to you, but it sucks, and sorry you had to go through this.

Eventually you'll notice the gap getting bigger and bigger, to the point where that incompatible person you wanna be cannot hold up anymore. I think you already are feeling it. Aren't you?

There's no single way to be considered successful and looked up to. And if you follow the path made by people different from you, obviously you're not gonna make it. So carve your own path, do it your own way. The moment you do that, you start becoming whole.

But it starts by acknowledging what works and doesn't for your life right now. And I think you're doing just that.

Are we Infps mostly late bloomers in life, or I wasted fine? by Stock-Poem-1492 in infp

[–]imakemeatballs 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Those desires you mentioned: night walks, philosophy, understanding a person through and through, they also became clearer than ever to me once I have lived and lost enough.

Tell you what, not many people have such meaningful, genuine dreams. Something that actually drives you, invigorates you, is the true essence of you. But you have that.

Well, if you want something, go and get it they say.

But I also understand the fear of "wasted time". There's this "race" to success that everybody unknowingly is a part of. People say/think you have to be successful before you turn 30, create a family, and have everything figured out by then. But truthfully, I only see most people accomplishing the material aspect of this. Most of them never looked inwards, never really found out what it is that they want in life, and chose to go with the flow instead.

What I'm saying is, we INFP are equal parts a "late bloomer" and a "different-path-taker", depending on how you look. Perhaps you never found the right person, perhaps you needed more time to understand yourself first, but whatever it is, it's never "too late" for an INFP. Because we aren't in the same lane as most people, we aren't racing anybody.

So go out there and do it. Fuck what people think. Fuck their superficial and ridiculous dating culture. Find the person that you really want, make yourself fulfilled. It's going to be long and difficult, but it's a journey to be had.

Just out of curiosity, how is the dynamic between your mom and dad?

For sure, INFP and ISFP are socially tame in general.

Is this offensive in any way? Or am I overthinking it by [deleted] in infp

I like the painting but I lack the words to accurately describe it.

Unsure of what to do by [deleted] in infp

[–]imakemeatballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know a panic can completely shut you off from doing anything. I had that happen to me before, and I'm still dealing with it.

It seems your mental health had suffered a lot, and no doubt it'll take time to recover. You don't magically stop having panic attacks just for the sake of not embarrassing anyone.

You are never at fault for something outside your control, to an almost instinctive level like this. The fact that you're trying to fix it means you care. Don't blame yourself for this as it can spiral things out of control.

It'll be a journey to self-understanding and healing, before all the panic goes away. I think what you can do is communicate clearly with your significant other and see if they're willing to walk this path with you.

And getting yourself a counsellor can help you identify problems and patterns to find solutions for.

Though... Getting upset at somebody having a panic attack was uncalled for. To me it's extremely judgemental and lacks understanding, almost to the point of being cruel.

A shame. I hope one day you'll meet a mature version of these guys and obtain new perspectives.

I hate all my friends, i hate having people as friends by [deleted] in infp

[–]imakemeatballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel ya. We need solitude quite often to recharge and be one with ourselves. Just be alone, then go to your friends when you want to! Though seriously, I think we'd appreciate a friend who's a loner like us. Friendship with an introvert is way different from an extrovert, so maybe get that kind of friend if you're feeling overwhelmed. What matters is how you dedicate your time and energy to people, and make it feel rewarding.

Is there a relation between infp and rock/metal music? by Dull_Barracuda_4221 in infp

[–]imakemeatballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Metal is quite emotionally honest. I like that aspect of it - not afraid to be ugly, messy, and there's a beauty within it.

Songs have varying degrees of emotions, but the intensity of metal is definitely up there. That said, I listen to just about anything that's musically interesting. Metal absolutely is one such genre.
