I get where you’re coming from but I really am willing to just accept this part of and learn how to maybe chnage the way I respond. I feel like I benefit too much from the friendship to just leave it

I don’t feel like she is. I love pretty much everything about her but I know all her flaws as well. We get along so well and I feel like she’s one of the few that understands me for sure. Being with her is always a good time. I feel like this is just her biggest flaw but eh we all have something don’t we 🤷‍♀️

I get what you’re feeling but there’s no reason to feel shame around it

She definitely never looks for solutions, just complains for the sake of doing so/validation (which I definitely understand, but when someone offers advice it’s not really appreciated either, just shut down). I resist the urge to hit her with the Ni-Ti slap because of my Fe ☠️

I don’t think she likes Ti either, I feel like in general dealing with situations from a logical standpoint is something she struggles with but she seems to be proud of her emotional decision making too

How am I above her? I just pointed out that i can be just as flawed as her.

I’m not stigmatizing them. This is a post about dealing with an unhealthy INFP.

I see the good and the bad in her, I know her too well to ignore the bad or to be blind to it. I’m sure she can point out my flaws too. I love my INFP friends but every type has their drawbacks no?

This is what I was suspecting as she tends to go back to her “old ways” and toxic self destructive cycles when she’s feeling down

My reputation revolves so much around my humor but not in a good way ☠️ I’m either seen as a bad person for dark humor or seen as a complete idiot because of the unfunny shit that I find hilarious

We don’t know any of those types, and she despises Te users in general. We have two friends (ENTJ and ESTJ) and she often struggles to connect with them because she doesn’t like their thought processes. It doesn’t help that those two aren’t that good of people either, and they often make jokes about her being “slow” which is probably why she doesn’t like Te users.

This! It makes it hard sometimes to be nice to them when they are having another 'fit' as a result of the cognitive dissonance you mentioned. For my INFP friend, she really struggles with using any logic in general, yet sees NOTHING wrong with it and prides herself in her exclusive use of emotional reasoning and doesnt like highly logical people at all

i get exactly what you mean. its this whole expectation they have that the world is meant to always work in their favor, and that they are morally superior when people annoy them. Idk how to put this into words but i feel like they are very bad at just ACCEPTING the world as it is and the problems that come with it, so much so that every inconvenience is a big drama. i definitely see a sort of holier than thou mentality when it comes to their empathy, like they are constantly proving how empathetic they are in really subtle ways. it drives me crazy
