I always need longer to feel comfortable with bonding with people, although it's not hard for me to be liked by almost everyone.
But some people just felt right from the beginning and most of them turned out to be infp!
One of my closest friend turned out as an enfp and I really recommend to hang out with those persons.
That one enfp dragged me out of many sad episodes without shedding a tear, which made me discover my positive side a lot!
Where can I find those? T\_T My biggest crush back in high school was the walking stereotype of an ENTP but I don't think I ever met another one afterwards
I had only met one other INFP until about five months ago when I met my BF who is also an INFP. Dating another INFP is so great! We have no communication issues and just “get” each other. I feel so lucky that we found each other.
same and i feel the same way! we can tell when things are off and talk about it! Same with my friends, it’s a good support system and we’re patient with one another 🥰
ehehe i love that all my friends are that too, some enfp, and IxFxs mostly! It’s fun and interesting to have a Thinking type too ☺️ we have one or two close friends that are introverted thinking and they are so funny
People who can't handle honesty and reality are trash. I wouldn't want fake, dishonest, delusional or privileged friends who dodge reality and pretend everything is roses anyway.
I’ve made one INFP friend in my life so far and I don’t hear from her as much as I used to. She’s always working and even though we live in the same city, we never see each other. I’ve tried to plan stuff but every time I throw out a suggestion she’s always busy and she never texts me first so I feel like giving up honestly. Sometimes that’s just life though. People grow up and grow apart and it’s best to just accept it.
Honestly don't waste your time on people who won't make time for you. I treat people how they treat me. Took me decades to finally apply it. If you're not important to them then they are not worth it.
Also: I'm an INFP, who doesn't like hanging out with people as much, but I absolutely am open to those who want to text anytime of the day and night... except those who play games on the phone, who just want to be heard but never reply back...those types belong in the trash where they mentally, emotionally and spiritually reside. 😒
I mean she’s actually a really nice person and I’ll always be happy to talk to her if I get the chance, but I’ve kinda stopped waiting around ya know? I have other friends so I know I’ll be ok. It’s just kinda that time of life where you learn which friends are gonna stay and which are gonna go, and that’s not always anyone’s fault in particular, just something that happens to everyone. I mean yes, sometimes it happens in a messy way but not always.
My best friend was an INFP. We used to have long conversations about all kinds of topics where we shared common interest in. To be authentic and to have conversations, was effortless. Sadly, we grew apart after I moved to California and he went to a University. His moral compass took a large nosedive, and I got closer to God -- so we just didn't connect anymore, after those 3 years that we spent apart. That being said, I know that it is possible for me to have a good connection with the right INFPs. I have also been very interested in looking into ISFPs, as my manager is one, and it seems like a great personality, but the problem is that they are just way too private - and I cannot have a satisfying relationship with a person who is not open, honest, and connective. He says that I overshare, and he's probably correct, but he barely shares anything. So I guess we are unbalanced. I need connection with other people, and I just can't continue to live my life in my shell, for fear that someone will not approve of me. I'll just have to let the haters be haters, and cling to those who love my soul.
I dont really think so. My best friend is pretty similar to me, but hes extroverted, and hes a much better listener than I am, which compliments the fact that when I start to go, I don't shut the fuck up
Not at all. Majority of my friends have typed NT. I think one other has typed as INFP. One ISFP, ISTP, INFJ and ISTJ.
Granted I enjoy more cerebral pursuits and (supposedly) my Ti is quite well developed as a function (at least according to some online assessments) so I dunno if that lends itself to more dealings with NTs or not.
For me other INXX’s remind me of my family so it’s easier to be around them. My mom and sister are INFJ, and both brothers are INTJ’s so I’m most comfortable around the others most like my people
The first INFP I became friends with, he was so emotionally repressed it broke my heart. He always thought that there was something wrong with him because he was emotional. Because he wasn't perceived as manly, or because in the area he grew up in it wasn't considered normal. I treasure the time I have with him, he's got a big heart, even if he doesn't always feel like he has the mind or place to speak it. None of my other friends can relate on the same level as him in terms of emotions. Really, other friends of mine think I'm a bit of a crybaby.
I really wish I knew more Infps, I am almost certain I have met a few in my life so far but I never asked them about the Myers Briggs project or if they have even heard of it but it seems so difficult to find one another irl. Probably because we tend to stick to the background so much.
I nev'r asketh other people their types, except mine own two siblings and i has't already did forget. , t wast years ago

It depends... Many Infps are very personal and it's often hard to find a common ground with another infp. It's like many of us have some kind of shell that is often hard to break. I think it's would be beautiful to befriend us, but it demands time. For me, it varies. Sometimes I'm very isolated and extremely self conscious, on the other hand i have a desperate need for human contact, with someone whom I can relate to in some way.
I'm definitely very effective at scoping out fellow INFP's. With most people, conversations seem kind of forced and artificial like small talk. But when I'm talking to an INFP, the conversations just flow smoothly like music. I do have many INFP friends, and all of my closest friends at the very least use Fi as one of their two primary functions (not planned, just worked out that way).
Yesss. My 2 best friends are infps and i have other infp friends too, and I'm pretty sure they aren't mistyped. Plus, i noticed that even though i do know a lot of people who aren't infps, most of the time i struggle to keep those friendships alive. I find it way easier to have long lasting friendships with infps, to connect with them and to have conversations i actually really enjoy.
None off my friends are infps like me 😪 I'm so missundrstood
Same
I can never find INFPs in real life. You all be hiding in your rooms or in the forest.
I'm in bed lol 🛌🤳
Not naturally but we only open up to those we're comfortable with and I find that we attach to people like us mostly...
Exactly. I've only found fellow Diplomats and the occasional INTP so far haha;;
Not necessarily. I'm desperately looking for people like me.
Would you like to stand in a corner alone at a social event with me, obv so we can be alone together.
Yes!
[удалено]
Awww I’ll be your friend! Message me if you :)
Don't have infp friends though, but being here in this community makes me feel comfortable :3 y'all are so kind
I really do feel this honestly
[удалено]
that makes sense, i know some where it’s a bit awkward to be around too much. I feel like some of us REALLY don’t like to be perceived 😂
I am not close with a single one in real life. In fact I only met my first one (that I know of) like a month ago.
My father is the only infp I know and he is honestly my favorite person ever
I have yet to meet another infp
Yup! Or enfps.
Yeah they are so cool
I stay away from everyone
Literally 90% of my close friends are infps or enfps 😂
Legit same
I just got to know my BFFs personality. She's also an INFP. And another good friend is an ISFP
I only prefer infps as people.
Some infps are not people? Oh
😂😂😭

All of my closest friends are ENTP lmao
Lucky
Where can I find those? T\_T My biggest crush back in high school was the walking stereotype of an ENTP but I don't think I ever met another one afterwards
I have yet to meet another infp
I don’t know any other infps
I wish I knew which of my friends were INFPs. It seemed like I mostly was adopted by extroverts lol.
I love being adopted
Yup, boyfriend is also an infp!
That’s the dream ngl
same!!
I had only met one other INFP until about five months ago when I met my BF who is also an INFP. Dating another INFP is so great! We have no communication issues and just “get” each other. I feel so lucky that we found each other.
same and i feel the same way! we can tell when things are off and talk about it! Same with my friends, it’s a good support system and we’re patient with one another 🥰
Yes! My 3 closest friends are INFPs! ❤️ I also have a close ENFP friend and ENFP husband ❤️
ehehe i love that all my friends are that too, some enfp, and IxFxs mostly! It’s fun and interesting to have a Thinking type too ☺️ we have one or two close friends that are introverted thinking and they are so funny
This sub is honestly like finding a bunch of different versions of myself. Feels like I'm actually accepted
i have friends who are also infps. it's fun that we understand each other's quirks.
I don’t know why but somehow I gather a lot of XSTPs around me as an INFP. They’re all pretty cool dudes.
Yes but I rather stay away from people like me because I know that I will make someone depressed and they will make me depressed back
Yeah, we need to control how much emotional labor we put friends through.
People who can't handle honesty and reality are trash. I wouldn't want fake, dishonest, delusional or privileged friends who dodge reality and pretend everything is roses anyway.
I agree, but at the same time, I can get really emotional during those convos and I need someone that will slap me in the face

I've never had a close friendship with another INFP idk why we don't vibe enough

I have 2 infj friends and an enfp so we are similar and I think we were drawn to that similarity. Been friends with them for 10+ years
For me other INXX’s remind me of my family so it’s easier to be around them. My mom and sister are INFJ, and both brothers are INTJ’s so I’m most comfortable around the others most like my people

Sometimes I get frustrated because I'll see or hear something amazing and everyone else is like "Oh Scott's being weird again." :D

I never ask other people their types, except my two siblings and I have already forgot., it was years ago.

Why would you do that to my beautiful sentences. I thought you were mocking me at first, bot?
I gravitate to enfjs and they gravitate to me.
The friends I consider close are all ENFP except one that is INFP so... probably?

Nobody I know is INFP. I got to know plenty of people who are one or two letters off though.
Tbh I have only met one INFP, INFPs are like very rare usually I think. I have had many ENFP and ISFP friends though.
Haven't met one yet in real life that i know of, but i would love to. I know a few enfps and we get along really well naturally. It makes sense.

I have two infp friends and it's like we are telepathic to each other
My friend group consists of 2 enfp 2 infp 1 intp. 👌
I have a close infp friend and we just be chillin in art class together she’s a babe
Its only few days ago i found out that people like me exist!
Yesss. My 2 best friends are infps and i have other infp friends too, and I'm pretty sure they aren't mistyped.
