[infp-confessions]

Hey I haven’t seen a comment here in a while but I don’t care I need to get this off my chest. I am known in my friend groups as being kind hearted, funny and having consistent optimism. I have never had a problem with this (even when I tease myself) but my now I feel like I’m just being seen as the naive, stupid friend who is to “innocent” for the world. That happiness comes so easily to me and I never struggle. It hurts to feel like the people I trust don’t really care or maybe it’s all in my head. But I’m so sick and tired of being talked down to just because I fight to see the good in the world. I don’t demand respect but I still think I deserve it. There are so many books and movies about how the happiest people hurt too but it feels like when people finally meet someone like that and they completely forget. It’s starting to really take its toll on my self confidence.

You are so brave and wonderful! Thank you for getting this off of your chest, love. If any person talks down to you, they aren’t worth your attention or kindness. There will be beautiful relationships you build from it, but never let yourself settle for less! Lots of love. ❤️

how to generate creative ideas:

(i need to get this out of my brain)

Make moodboards, playlists, keep a list of people who inspire you. Before starting a project think about the general vibe you want it to embody. Ask questions like “What would this concept sound like if it was a song?” ,“What would this concept be like if it was a person?”. Create a shirt that looks like a building you like, literally anything can be combined.

Take unrelated things or concepts and mix them together. Let’s take Addams Family as an example. “What if it was a story about a typical suburban family…but GOTH!”. It basically flips everything upside down. Or “What outfit would someone wear, who’s personality is the mix of the vibes of these two songs?” Random word generators are amazing for this if you don’t know where to start from.

Try making something truly BAD and then add a twist to it. It’s a great way for your brain to let go of expectations and then think outside of the box. But you can also use this to find out what you do not wanna do under any circumstances.

Think without worrying about the limits of what you can do and when it’s time for excecution, find a way around what’s impossible. It births more creativity and adds uniqueness.

Consider what your idea is NOT before considering what it is. Limits are the best way to avoid getting overwhelmed and giving up. Don’t ALWAYS do this though (unless you wanna…), it’s just something to try out when you feel like you’re seeing too many possibilities to the point that they’re contradicting each other. Unless your goal is to make something full of contradictions, you’re a Free Man, do whatever you want.

Keep a list of random ideas you have throughout the day in your notes app or something and then at some point actually review them. Keep what you think is worth exploring and then act on it.

Find out how something works very throughoutly so you know which aspect can be changed to create something new.

Take a concept and break it down into smaller concepts, ideas, questions, key elements and then also break those ideas down etc. This will naturally lead to associations, unique ideas you wouldn’t think of without doing this. I found that this is a great way of coming up with metaphors.

This one is similar to the last two: take a piece of art you really love and try to find out the thought process behind. What’s the story, where did the artist get inspiration from, how did they incorporate those ideas in their work. How did an artist combine their personal interests and knowledge into one big thing. For example: Tolkien was an erudite linguist, so much so that he created entire functional languages in his work, such as Elvish in Lord of the Rings. Hirohiko Araki loves 80’s music so much he named characters in Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure after music references. This is why no knowledge is useless knowledge.

Think about the times you’ve been the most creative before. What were the specific circumstances? For me my best ideas always come when I have a strict deadline for something unrelated, like school (which I’m way too willing to sacrifice), or when I’m doing something mindless like walking and listening to music, or playing a game that requires no thinking. Most of the time after 10p.m. This doesn’t mean I can’t “force” myself to be creative (tips above), it just means these are the times ideas come most naturally. For some people this might be being out in nature or experiencing high emotions, maybe having their life on the line idk, to each their own.

You can’t just create. You also need to consume. The more information you absorb, the more possibilities you have with your ideas. So if you’re not feeling that creative, that’s fine, it’s the perfect opportunity to learn something new.

If you don’t already do these things and you’re looking to get more creative my advice is to ACTUALLY TRY THESE OUT. You’ll best understand them in action.

[wackus-bonkus-maximus]

Hello Wackus. There is something I would like to ask you because I believe you a fellow INFP can advise me better. Forgive me as English is not my first language.

I have a friend who is always very open and direct. In contrast, I am always cautious and considerate. There was never a problem between us because of our differences. That is just how we are. But lately I am feeling hurt more often by how they voice their unchanged opinions.

For example, when they read a book I recommended to them. I asked how they felt about my favorite character. (And they knew it was my favorite character because I told them before they started reading.) To which they said. “Oh, I hate them. They're awful.”

I am very aware they do not say such things to hurt me. I understand they are only sharing their honest opinion. I cannot make them change their feelings about anything and nor would I want to.

Still but I would like it if they make an effort to soften their words like, "I know that you like them, but I do not enjoy them as you do." or something similar.

(Please take note that this character was not someone like Felix who I enjoy but I would understand more if my friend did not because there are many things to argue about over him.)

I think I am a little unfair because I knew this friend for a long time and I always knew their character. It seems strange for me to be upset now. However, I still think isn’t it time they learnt to speak with some more consideration? Why must I always be the one to compromise and hide my hurt feelings? Shouldn’t they also learn how to change their words a little bit to not hurt?

I don’t know. Is my way of thinking incorrect? Do I discuss this with my friend? Or is it better for me to work to accept them for who they are and stop from imposing my social etiquette onto them?

hello infp friend! i'm honored you came to me for advice but keep in mind i'm not really an expert in mbti types. if you have a therapist or want to start seeing one this is something you can bring up to them.

my 2 cents as an infp is to just go ahead and set that boundary. i have a friend who is just like how you described too and the reason our friendship has lasted so long is because i found the guts to tell her "stop saying that to me you know i don't like it/ don't agree." for us, it's her issue with kids. she will see a kid walking around or standing in line or sitting next to us while we're out doing whatever and the snide comments start. i'm always like "dude...you know i teach little kids...you know how much i love them...stfu." it's been years and she's gotten better but it's still hard for me to say even now, even though she's my bffl. i know you know it's ok to have differences anon and i know that as infp's it's hard for us to set solid boundaries. but yeah talk to your friend! they will appreciate you being direct and so will you (after the adrenaline wears off ahhaha).

again, not a therapist/certified in anything! but i so hope you and your friend work it out :))

Is anyone in here an introvert through and through but forced to be the one in charge of all the group work, the presentations because everyone else is content to follow my lead and I don't want it to affect my GPA. In addition, speaking out on behalf of said group and answering any questions the lecturer asks because you feel bad for the lecturer when no one else responds.

As a result my lecturers have made it a habit to ask me questions and my opinions each and every time.

The 'absolutely hates attention' girl suddenly has all eyes on her.

🥲

(*sigh*)

Sincerely, a tired introvert who is drained of her energy because of having to interact so many times during the day.

[goldencrownsandoliveleaves]

sometimes i feel like i’m doing something wrong. that i’m alone too much, and that i should be spending time with my friends making memories. that i should be at home less and out there soaking up the world. sometimes i worry that simplicity and aloneness is my life escaping me. but then i realize, again, that my life is my own, and only i know what can truly bring me happiness. i love my little world all on my own, where my imagination can run wild. i love to sit in silence, with nothing around to disturb my peace. maybe some people don’t understand that, but the right ones do. life isn’t something you need to do a certain way, it’s something that you are free to enjoy however you want to. don’t let the fear of living differently keep you from living fully.

[maniacal-soul]

"When we love someone so much, we might find ourselves losing touch with reality. We don't see things for what they are. We rely on them to support and guide us because love made us blind.

When we are in such a state of blindness, we may find ourselves loving someone that does not love us back, equally. Each person's wants and needs may no longer be the same.

Without addressing this, sooner or later, we will encounter an uneven road that will test our patience and resilience. Or, we may encounter a fork in the road where both must choose which way to go.

If we allow others to choose on our behalf the road to walk on, we may end up getting hurt and left in an undesirable state — and while it is temping to blame them, what they chose will be neither right or wrong.

The most important factor to consider here, is that they can see the world closer to reality than we do, because they are not blinded by love in the same way we are. They will do what they feel is right by them, and them only.

So, be careful who you love — and love with intent when you choose to love deeply. Learn to recognize the signs of you becoming reliant on others for love."

Conformity is a sickness that dims the state of the soul. To resist conformity is to go where you find meaning and to never be afraid to refrain from things that lack meaning and truth in the depths of your soul.

I'm pretty sure I'm an ISFJ in love with an INFP. And I want to ask out the INFP. how should I impress the INFP?

Honestly you impress them by being yourself, heck if they like you back you probably already impress them. As for asking out the INFP make it clear, after all, we can be quite oblivious and will often second guess and overthink anything that's told to us, so you need to make it clear as day that you in fact like the INFP.

But if you're wanting to know what impresses an INFP more than authenticity, it's a genuine interest in them and their likes as well as the willingness to go into the deep end with them to talk about deeper subjects and not shallow small talk.

„why is kazuha your favorite character?“

thats a good question actually, to which i have an even better answer.

school life isnt always fun & not everyone around you has pure intentions. people especially hate seeing you being optimistic. they want to drag you down and destroy your happiness and optimism. some are so bitter for they go so far as spreading rumors around. at some point you dont wanna talk anymore. you dont trust anyone and you find happiness in solitude and quiet.

when i finally graduated from that school i was so happy. finally the day had come but i also realized that i cannot dislike myself forever. so i came to the conclusion that i need to heal and that i deserve to heal. i went outside, i read books, i wrote and i just got to know myself better.

in school i compromised. yes, i found beauty in the quiet but i still compromised whenever i was with people, thinking this would be the only way to be liked. spoiler alert: it doesnt make anyone happy! and you lose yourself ((but then again you could argue that losing yourself also brings you one step closer to your true self))

when i met kazuha, i realized that he has the qualities of a good man. he is like a dream to me and he cheers me up to this day. i like to believe that we have one or two things in common. that i also possess the ability to notice little things in my surroundings and that i have a keen observation in general.

i like him a lot. he is my most favorite genshin character, if not my most favorite fictional character in general !

he warms my heart til this very day

Express Yourself Carefully

I am an INTJ. I usually silently say "I think I am gonna die soon." Whenever I feel a surge of any sudden emotion.

Not just when I am angry or upset. I just say it casually even when I am too happy for me to put it into words or expressions.

Normally I say it under my breadth so that no one can hear it. I have been doing this since childhood without realizing that people don't normally say this as often.

That was until my acquaintance INFP heard it. She told me that it is not normal for people to think this way and that I need support. She hasn't left me alone since then.

(So be careful if you want your freedom even if it is from a very kind person who you value a lot.)

i like drama that i know for a fact ill never be involved in. celebrity drama, influencer drama, work inconvenience drama, all of that. but if it is within an arm reach of me being involved? nope i don't exist here and wish to be swallow by earth. you will not have me picking sides, absolutely not.

#can you tell im an infp #im good at giving advice but that's the first step of getting involved in some random friend group drama #that'll probably hurt someone and make someone else doesn't talk to that someone #im not gonna pick sides to save my life #i'd rather fake my own death and move to italy #shitpost #drama

hi. my name is zoe, and though my username already explains what this account is all about but i'd like to explain why im starting this account.

i've come to realize that by writing my emotions is a way for me to realize myself and i'd like to show my zero followers what im writing. think of this account like a public diary. it is currently 12:08am. i find it embarrassing to air out my emotions on social media because people i know will see it and as for my experience, weaponize it against me so, that's why i made this account. so no one i know will see it and i can freely express myself.

i don't really expect people to see this account and im probably gonna delete it this morning.

good night.
