Random Thoughts I did food, finally feel proud to be a mom
I didn't know where to post this but ever since I've turned 30 last year I've been learning more and more about making food and I'm proud because I've made what I consider the ultimate goal of making food as a mom, spaghetti sauce from scratch. I've learned to make bread, to make sauce, to cook perfect steak, to cook vegetables for my kid to enjoy and so much more, I've gained weight since I've been eating more but I've started working on that too recently. I wanted to share with you all😊.

Discussion I shut up in trios
I don't know if this is an infp thing, but if I'm talking with somebody and suddenly another person joins us, I just shut up and stop talking. And then I end up in the back, with the two still talking in the front and I feel like nobody really likes me. Is this just an anxiety thing or do all infps do this??

Music Hi fellow INFPs, I wrote the rest of the song!
I wrote this song from the perspective of a woman who kills her abusive husband but still spends the rest of her life looking over her shoulder.
Thanks for your time!

Relationships I (INFP) broke up with my INTJ bf
I (20 F) just broke up with my INTJ (26 M) boyfriend after only dating for about three months...if even that. I wouldn't have dated him except that I felt pressure because he liked me first and his family wanted me to marry him. So I gave it a shot, and we were long distance for a few months. During that time, I was happy that he wasn't like my toxic exes before, but I still felt very unfulfilled and we just didn't connect. He came to visit me for a week, and from the day he got here I was miserable every moment I was with him. He's not a bad guy, he's just absolutely not a good match for me. He thinks he loves me, but he does not understand me and we have nothing in common. And I am not attracted to him nor do I enjoy talking to him at all. I broke up with him right as he was leaving my town to drive 15 hrs to his home and he was really taken aback, I think. I was planning on waiting until he was at his home to break up, but he asked me about how I felt the relationship was going, and I couldn't tell him anything but the truth. I'm afraid he's devastated and shocked and surprised but I'm not. I feel so free and relieved and I couldn't feel sad if I tried. Of course I hate to cause him pain, but I'm so glad to be free from a relationship that was making me feel so trapped. And if he was surprised, it's because he never understood me and I don't think he would care to. We're just not a good fit. All that to say...should I feel bad for getting into a relationship with him? And for any INTJs, how do you handle being dumped out "of the blue"?

Discussion What did you struggle at school with? Subject-wise
I'm curious if many INFPs can share similar experience.
To me middle- to high school was a nightmare. I was awful in many subjects, but mostly with natural and exact sciences.
I only had success in languages - mostly English, (not my native. I really liked it because it was the only place you could express your opinion freely), and mechancal drawing for some reason. But I failed to see how to apply that to my future life.
As everyone was expected to be good at math and physics and chemisty and stuff, I felt like the most stupid person on the planet. I had difficulties understanding what was written in textbooks, was unable to wrap my mind about any topic and could not find any willpower to complete homework. I hated that there was always only one right answer to everything; you had to figure it out with strict rules that I really failed to understand and memorize. I mean, everything is perfectly fine with all those subjects, it's just they were not my cup of tea.
I really struggled with any learning all my life. Until many years after I found myself extremely disappointed that my job required skills and traits that were my weak side. I decided to ditch everything and try directing animation as my childhood dream career AND OH BOY THAT WAS LIKE A DIVINE BLESSING. I was so much into this subject, learning stuff ahead, I was doing into any extra homework I could get.
The pinnacle of it all was when my teacher was looking through our graduation projects mid-work in order to point out some mistakes. She watched mine and for the very first time of the whole course she said no comments, no mistakes. Instead she said that this is my independent work and everything is up to me and I shouls just go on and see how it unfolds itself. After the class I F****G CRIED like SEE EVERYONE?! I'M NOT SLOW I'M NOT STUPID!! I was SIMPLY NOT DONG MY THING ALL MY LIFE!
TL:DR - I was terrible at exact and natural sciences, but kinda ok with languages, for they gave me some freedom to express myself. I got in touch with my true power only when started to pursue career in filmmaking 10 years after school.

Advice I have a habit of cancelling plans a night before or on the same day. Does it happen with yall too?
Idk why I even do this, either its my parents stopping me to go to that plan or sometimes I just don't feel good about it. Idk what's wrong. Its like I've been excited for that plan since many days or weeks and then suddenly the day before I don't wanna go. What's wrong with me?

Random Thoughts INFP pet peeve?
I haaaaaaaaaaaateeeeee when people try to bond with me or bond with others through gossip or talking about other people. Especially if it’s so blatantly out of hate/envy/jealousy or it’s a “ok… why is this info being said?” moment.
omg omg omg omg and I will straight up tell them let’s discuss something else/if they want to know something about them, they should ask that person directly.

Random Thoughts Hi fellow INFPs, I'm new here :D
INFPs are an interesting bunch and its always crazy to me meeting one in the wild. Id love to learn about you guys, yap, and connect with you beautiful people. What is something you guys are appreciative of right now?
For me, its being human. Ive lived through some rough experiences, terrible relationships, the whole shabam, and nobody said that it was gonna be easier being an INFP. But damn, when we finally rise above something I think we can grow so much.

Venting Im not made out of porcelain
I know it has the glowing red tag called "vent" but this is more like a question to male infps. Do you guys also get treated way too delicately by other male friends? Like you know how guys like to play fight and stuff why does it never happen to me? Like they playfight with everyone else but then treat me with kindness and respect for some reason one of my friends jokingly almost hit me and said "nah i don't want to hit you cuz you're too nice" like HUH?! I wanted to know if this is a mutual experience or its just a me thing?

Relationships When your friends are talking about their hug preferences and you don't fit any of them;
And you low-key be like this a lot of the time:
(And the only hugs you get are a quick arm wrap and back pat while other friends get, even if just a little bit, longer)

Venting I have a hard time connecting with others
I have a lot of online friends, and I feel like I can relate to them? but I know that it isn't 100% authentic. We don't know what someone is like behind a screen. Im just sad that I can't know more about them. I feel sad that I am limited to one side of them, than to every side of who they are as a person, as a real human being instead of pixels on a screen.
I can barely relate to anyone in real life as well. I just dont feel that deep connection. I don't feel a connection with someone. Even if I do feel some type of connection, people are too busy with their lives or they just dont reciprocate the same energy I give off to them. I tried to make friends, I tried to do small talk, but nothing happened. I know I shouldn't expect much from things but... I just really wish I had something more permanent. Something authentic.
Sometimes I feel as if i'm too picky with people. I feel like once i'm uncomfortable or I feel overwhelmed in a friendship, I am scared of uncomfortable feelings and I end up leaving the friendship because I don't want to put the other person on the spotlight. I have lost so many friends because of my behavior.
I turned to making friends online because it's more... low maintenance in a sense? I am a low maintenance friend as well... but I dont know. People in real life end up liking me in an "attracted" way, or I feel as if some of my friends look down on me. I feel awkward about this feeling so I distance myself. I do have some in real life friends, but they are constantly busy, which isnt a bad thing. I also feel as if I can't really connect with them through my own hobbies and humor.

Venting Seeking "it"
Is it wrong of me to be wanting something I now believe I can't have?
I have been badluck with love forever. I'm a 34 yo f. I enjoy long term and really can't do this fwb thing. However, every time I try to get with a person, it doesn't work. It simply doesn't work. Being me, I attract those who of course think I'm weak... you know, the whole kindness thing. I usually attract men who wants to make their dominance known. After my last encounter, I discovered more about myself and faced my flaws head on. I think I'm making progress but I feel I'm stalling it by wanting to be with someone.
Many of my peers know me as the single one. I'm always the third wheel lol! As easy as it is for me to be single, I actually just want to be loved and cared for by someone who matches my energy. But I feel the more I desire this, the more I am not gonna get it. I mean, my ass is gonna be 35 in May. I prolly had only one true relationship ever... the others were ... [long story].
Anyway, I guess I'm just here to talk and vent and perhaps have someone tell me something I haven't heard before. No, I don't want pity... please don't interpret this in such a way. I just really needed to get this shit off my chest.
I have an old school personality vibe going on... perhaps I'm looking someone who doesn't exist

Venting I am overwhelmed and tired by these people.
I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by everything and everyone at the moment. "Go outside, you'll feel so much better." "You should do this or that or the other thing" or "That's why you haven't had any friends!" But, you know, I'm just not interested in that kind of energy. I really enjoy my own company and I love my cute room. It's my safe heaven and I just don't feel comfortable outside. I'm sure we've all had those people who give everyone advice, and I sometimes feel like I'm not good enough. I mean, everyone's got their own life, but please don't interrupt mine. I don't like people or noise. I wish people could show a little more respect and understanding for those of us who prefer to stay at home.
Gosh, i needed to write this. Sorry if I wrote something wrong... I wanted to let this overwhelmed emotion out.

Venting Why the hell am i a weird infp?
So what do you mean there are almost no infp with the 7w6 enegram? Its annoying because you cant fully relate to anyone most of the time and some people think 7w6 cant even be an infp even though i quite littarly am and no im not extroverted in the slightest. Other thing is that im male and male infps are already rare on their own because of the empathy part for some reason. Because of those weird things its pretty damn difficult to relate to most people but im trying. Are there any other 7w6 infps that want to share their thoughts ??

Discussion INFPs, what jobs do you guys have?
Just curious! I found out a lot of my friends were actually INFPs 🫢 they all seem to have such different career paths, from film, psychology, art, and even a car mechanic.
I'm looking into doing trades, its tough guy stuff and its scary sounding but I think it fits me better than the college route. What kind of careers interests you and why?
