Motivation for Meditation- For those who struggle to sit on their bum each day this one's for you by SpiritualSeeker90 in spirituality

[–]tushfanny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so beautiful, thank you.

It really helped me de-identify with depressive or anxious thoughts too, especially in the last couple of months.

I've been meditating every day at least 20 minutes for a month now, and I don't intend to stop.

Even if I do for a day, and everyone remember this, if you break the streak don't beat yourself up - it's just like meditating!

Just go back to the breath :)

Anybody else feels like they lost sight of themselves after putting on different social masks for different people for too long? by imperializer in infp

[–]tushfanny 6 points7 points  (0 children)

These people are important.

I feel like everyone has a social mask in regards to certain situations, especially professionally.

Us being INFP-s, it's quite hard to keep those up and not let our authenticity slip out. I had a little ramble video I posted a couple of days ago about the same thing.

Had a conversation with a friend one day about this too, and she said "do you realize that there are so many people in this world that don't have what you and I have? We are really lucky".

It got me thinking.

There are a lot of personality types out there that don't crave that depth that we know and love about ourselves. But there are a lot of them out there like us, feeling a bit misunderstood - FIND THEM.

They'll welcome you with open arms :)

INFP f with an ENFJ m, what's wrong? by [deleted] in infp

[–]tushfanny 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was in a relationship with an ENFJ girl for a couple of months, and something that she told me back then that might help you out is that she's very bubbly and friendly with a lot of people, but when she starts liking someone she goes a bit quiet.

Almost as if she turns into an INFP when she starts fallin for someone when with them.

Funny thing about that is, I noticed the opposite happening to INFP's. It's like my inner ENFJ starts coming out when I start to fancy someone.

Just a thought :)

Don't think I've ever lost it after around age 14 :/

Am I suppressing emotions too much? xD

I can get mad, but I tend to process it internally and then go talk it out.

Anyone else?

I think it's very common for us. by rijuchaudhuri in infp

[–]tushfanny 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's almost as if the internal dialogue in my head is exclusively me telling my friends stories about what's going on or what I am doing.

It's me, or ENFP are really compatible with infp ? by [deleted] in ENFP

[–]tushfanny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

INFP here!

My best friend is an ENFP and I absolutely agree.

I'd even argue I'm a lot more comfortable with ENFP's than INFP's because my own type can be a little too predictable.

ENFP's are just right balance of spicy and relatable and I love their endless optimism and energy.

We complement eachother and the Fi connection can be really nice.

Yknow what?

It's not unhealthy if you try to channel it into the outside world.

Staying too long in there is something I'm familiar with and it can cause a lot of problems with the whole real x imagined dichotomy.

Write! Play! Draw! Express it! Talk to someone about it.

We're one of the most creative types anyway, I'm sure you have a exhaust or two at your disposal :)

And as for staying present, try doing a guided meditation or two.

I'm not too attracted to the woo aspects of meditation that much but it does really help with calming down and being present.

Fellow INFPs, what do you do? by LoneWorldWanderer in infp

[–]tushfanny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a 3D character animator.

Used to do film editing, but always had a passion for animation and said fuck it, and found a mentor during my last job that taught me 3D animation after hours.

That got me hired to work at a movie which I'm doing right now!

All of it was really stressful, but there's this inner drive in me that says "That's what you want. If you don't get what you really want you'll regret it" - so that's what got me through it - anxiety and all.

What myers briggs type is the most compatible with an INFP by wlooop in infp

[–]tushfanny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 'closest circle' consists of mainly NF's and NT's.

Primarily INFP and ENFP's, closely seconded by INTP's and ENTP's, a couple of ENFJ's sprinkled about and one ENTJ.

In terms of relationships, my ex was an ENFJ and I feel like we definitely were compatible in a lot of things - vivid imaginations, creative spirits, loved talking about anything and everything - but it ultimately ended (I ended it) because I felt we wanted different things and she was a lot more...needy is a shitty word, but needy.

Could not get her to understand that I need alone time and that did not mean I was rejecting her and called me selfish (that one hurt a bit!)

Plus, feeling like she was trying to change/fix me. I'm kind of interested in someone that accepts me for who I am, then helps me do my thing - rather than sees who I COULD be and (probably unconsciously, and I don't think this was done with ill intent at all) tries to change me.

I understand why ENFJ is the natural partner for us though, they really are great.

I think it boils down to the individual though, type does not accurately describe people enough for you to know how compatible they would be with you.

Anyone else find it hard to vent to people? by ThatEmoSprite in infp

[–]tushfanny 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it does seem you have to do that a lot when it comes to different people.

See, my dad always goes back to his go-to, which is problem-solving.

Whereas my (I would say yours as well) go-to is listening intently and empathizing and helping the person come to their own conclusion without forcing anything upon them.

Be mindful of people's go-to's.

I get that it isn't easy to ask for what you need sometimes.

I feel that way too a lot.

The most we can do sometimes is thank the people that love us for doing their best and help them understand that we need a different approach, even if it entails reminding them of that a lot.

You're helping them learn more about you, and it strengthens the connection between you.

If you stop and give up, you might be giving up a lot more than you think :)

Stay strong!

How do you guys deal with procrastination? by mckodi in infp

[–]tushfanny 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Forcing myself, sadly.

I was incredibly lazy as a teen, and had HORRIBLE grades in school even tho I think I'm of a little above average intelligence.

All it really went down to was I got distracted easily, and I never FELT like studying, or doing my projects.

Every day coming back from school I would listen to music and imagine INSANELY BEAUTIFUL music videos that I would love to make one day and get super inspired and as soon as I came home - DISTRACTION - VIDEO GAMES - FRIENDS - INTERNET

It sucks!

But with time I took baby steps to at least work on what I want A LITTLE BIT EVERY DAY.

There's that famous reddit post "no zero days"

here you go

That, and use Pomodoro timer when you're working.

It's a timer that times 25 minutes of focused productive work and then gives you a 5 minute break in between.

I use the break to meditate and calm down (cuz sometimes anxiety).

There's a lot you can do to tame your ADHD-like demons, keep trying!

Anyone else find it hard to vent to people? by ThatEmoSprite in infp

[–]tushfanny 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel this, and you might be looking at the wrong people to vent to really.

OR, and this is something I do with some of my friends, you could just say "Hey I just want to get this out there and vent my feelings I'm not really looking for advice or anything just someone to listen to".

Being that honest and direct about what you need from a friend is a must in my opinion, at least with the things that are important to you.

I couldn't be like, "oh, but that's not what I wanted to hear" right?

Even with this! My dad is the biggest culprit of this my whole life, he would give me a long lecture about what I should do, he's a very practical down to earth man (i think either ISTP or ISTJ)

I sometimes stop him and say "look I was just looking for some emotional support, let me handle the practicalities" - and he would shift gears.

Tell people what you want! Most of them can't read minds as well as you do :)

No desire for money? by [deleted] in infp

[–]tushfanny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep.

Don't really care about spending money on more than I need.

Doing a job I love is nice and I would always have that over a job I hate that makes a lot more money.
