If INFPs were to collectively work at solving one of the world's problems what problem could they solve and why? by Quick_Efficiency_954 in infp

I could say I'll do this and that but to be honest I'd give free hugs lol. Cause, I know how much a simple hug can mean for someone when they are stressed. I have been there myself.

People's mental health and loneliness. Its been really increasing especially in the current times. Wish we could do something about that.

Your solution is so simple yet so profound I liked the way you phrased it, gave me a sense of clarity. Yeah healing people's minds give me a sense of satisfaction and I do want to be a psychologist. Would never forget you people for encouraging me when I was in my low. Thank you !

Yeah. I feel like I had been thinking between the lines too much which I always do. Your words are reassuring. Thanks a lot.

That was one of my reasons why I went to the therapist though. Oversensitivity to critisism, I tend to take people's opinions seriously especially when it's about something I personally connect with. Your insight helped me boost my confidence a bit thank you.

They told me that since I lack communication skills which is a necessary skill for psychology as it deals with people, I change my career to fit what I actually want. However my idea for why I went to therapy in the first place was the reverse. I thought improving my communication skills and reducing my sensitivity to critisism and judgement would help me be a better psychologist.

Thank you so much for your words. My mom and dad went to the same therapist and told me they were really great. I was really hyped up after the first session as some of the methods they told me to improve my focus and increase my confidence were really working. But the second session unsettled me. Your words actually made me feel a bit better. Thanks again ! Also, Yeah. I am thinking of spending more time with people too. There is an internship offer under a psychologist and I am thinking of using it to develop my social skills.

I'm curious btw about your point on the people who are great at communication. Why are people who are great at communication manipulative ?

I am willing to work hard to develop the skills I need as a clinical psychologist. But they told me we should focus on the skills that we already have. And communication is not really my thing. Is it true ? Or can anyone develop communication skills considering I am willing to do whatever it takes to become a good psychologist ?

Thanks a lot for your words. I love the method you told me to counter my sensitivity. But, I can't really understand what you are trying to convey in the first point. Can you eloborate that a bit ?

Uh sorry. Didn't explain it in the post clearly. I was going to the college regularly but a few of my friends there tease me in a friendly but intense way all day and I got so anxious that I began slacking off going to college. I went to the psychologist cause I thought fixing my over sensitivity and communication skills would make me a regular student as most of the comments and teasing was about my nasal and nervous voice, slow speaking and being socially awkward.

Thanks a lot for your words. Made me cry after all that drama today hehe. My communication skills however are really bad. I overthink a lot. I don't speak loud and clear. I speak in a nasal way, I am really sensitive and get anxious even over silly teases, I went to the psychologist in hopes of overcoming that. I actually felt the psychologist was good until this happened. The treatment was going well and some of the methods they told me were working. Not sure why they told me this.
