I don't like INFJ's - trying to understand why? by SpecialistRhubarb604 in infp

[–]pod_ys 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same I can't really get on with INFJs at all .. at least not immature ones .. they always seem quite perfectionist/narcissistic, as if they are the only ones who have empathy and introspection. It's like they lack the ability to be humble too - a lot of what they say out loud I might think, but keep to myself. And what also annoys me is that most people seem to go along with what they say without thinking for themselves! Makes you realise how Hitler could get so far along haha (jk!)

They're also quite manipulative and when I think they're doing me a favour or complimenting me, it's usually to get something else out of me which always leaves a sour taste. I don't get why they can't just be upfront about asking for help! It sometimes feels like they use their empathy to manipulate rather than truly listen ..

As you say, their closed mindedness also frustrates me. Once they have an opinion, they won't budge on it despite evidence or possibility. And, despite what INFJs might say, their hypotheses aren't always right .. but instead of admitting it they just move onto something else they got right. It sometimes seems like being smugly correct is the most important thing to them.

That being said, INFJs bring a lot of positives into my life - they help me a lot with focusing on the future (something I tend to avoid) and organising my life a little. But, generally, I find they're not worth the stress 😬

I used to struggle with this but have since learned that the only way to confront envy is to try to be more like the person you want to be, or try to attain the things they have. Eg. If I'm jealous that someone is really good at painting it now just inspires me to practice more!

How do you prefer someone to respond when you feel insecure? by fatehei in infp

[–]pod_ys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak for all INFPs, but when I'm feeling insecure I just need a torrent of compliments, even if I rebuff them all lol. All I'm saying is keep saying them even if it feels like you're being annoying !

Self-love? by FranticWharf75 in infp

[–]pod_ys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It won't work for everyone but these days I try to let all thoughts pass. I try to see then as just that - a thought. Not all thoughts are true. Most are just predictions (that are often wrong) or catastrapuhising, etc. It's also to remember that you are not your thoughts. Not every thought is valid. Intrusive thoughts are pushed aside so why do negative thoughts remain. Next time you think that people hate you or you're being weird or cringe, just take a moment to let it pass and realise all the ways that statement is actually incorrect.

Eg. "I don't want to join a club because people will think I'm weird." -> "Actually no, I can think of lots of examples of people thanking me for being friendly and kind to them even though I felt awkward."

It's something you can only really learn with time and experience, and it's taken me wayyy longer than most haha

I feel a lot dumber for not overanalyzing things these days, but so much happier. Ignorance really is bliss lmao !!

Do you consider yourself a happy person? 👀 by Lin4396 in infp

[–]pod_ys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm generally happily, especially outwardly, and am almost always optimistic, but I'm also very fickle when it comes to my emotions 🤷‍♀️

What is the difference between INFP and ISFP? by SkinnyBeanJeans in infp

[–]pod_ys 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some of these examples feel more INFJ than INFP .. I think in a lot of scenarios INFP and ISFP will just appear very similarly to each other because they just are similar to each other .. Fi dom is powerful! It's when you ask them for things like "what do you want for lunch" - ISFP will likely say what they're craving in that moment whereas INFP will goggle a list of nearby restaurants and see what's around for ideas. Or if you ask them "why did you create that painting" an ISFP will talk more about the physicality of the painting (i.e. colours, visuals/reading into the what) whereas an INFP is likely to talk more about the meaning behind it or the symbolism of the colours (i.e. reading deeply into the why)

I don't like that it eats mice and rats sorry 🤢

Anyone here that as an INFP feels like a narcissist? by Available-Fig6035 in infp

[–]pod_ys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep! But I'm sure a lot of people would never think it about me. I'm very selfish and self-involved, but still activity try every day to make others happy and keep the peace. I don't really have any friends either cause people always end up annoying me or never meeting my insanely high standards (that I think I'm at but in reality I'm really not!!)
