#rational and analytical and literally a Natural Problem Solver to the point that it can get unbearable/it is impossible for me to suspend my
Text
whenever I feel kind of subtly frustrated, stagnant, and unhappy - generally upon closer inspection, I find it’s because I’ve been focusing outwardly too much. watching tv shows, using social media more, trying to keep up with a community from afar or lurking on forums or something, replying to messages, etc. etc. ... at some point it’s just like, I absolutely must disengage with the outside world, I need to write, or pace back and forth talking to myself about worldbuilding concepts I’m working on, or edit a video, or just like... do anything that actually feels moderately productive in working towards my goals or developing the things I actually care about. A lot of stuff that brings other people comfort (socialization, community, engaging with media) seems to just stress me out if they’re not constantly broken up by long periods of time to myself to focus on my weird little hobbies lol.. I don’t always realize this at first but sometimes it just hits me like ‘OH, I feel terrible lately because I’ve been primarily focused on The External for the past two days, time to Withdraw’ gghjjb
#I've been watching an actual popular tv show for once (spurred entirely by my dive into that website that lists characters mbti#and enneagram and etc. and having some superficial similarities to the main caracter of the show thus wanting to see if I actually relate to#them at all (btw NO .. like usual.. i want like everyone to explode ghjghh... why can characters never communicate properly#and always Are Fool .. i KNOW this is because literallly like.. plot = conflict .. conflict = drama. etc. so to drive the plot forward#people have to make 'imperfect; or 'irrational' decisions but.. HHH.. I am SO SO far on the side of the personality spectrum that is overly#rational and analytical and literally a Natural Problem Solver to the point that it can get unbearable/it is impossible for me to suspend my#dibeleif and not just be going 'OH MY GOD CONFLIT RESOLUTION SKILLS HELLO??? what are you all FIVE??' at the screen#during every tv show I ever watch ghbhj) ANYWAY)#so I've been watching An Actual Show during my lunch and breakfast 'media time' (which usually I just watch youtube videos#like lefitst political essays or gameplay videos or educational stuff or something.) ON top of that I've replied to TWO people#I was also engaged in a short interaction on a forum from a game I play. I also recently posted a question to a reddit#group. I was going through my friends' facebook pages to see how many of them are still active on the site at all. AND i had to submit#something to a site to contact their customer service. and send an email to my doctor.#the past few days I've just had SO many outside distractions and things that are not literally just me minding my own business#thinknig about elves or something it's like.. AAAA..#I just get the ever increasing feeling that every single day is a waste of time. If all I did in a day is socialize and watch tv then that's#a terrible day that didn't work towards any of my broader life goals or anything that I care about at all whatsoever.#if i have three days like that in a row then I feel like I'm growing so detached from my purpose and am calustrophobic#like the outside world is taking over everything and all my time is being completely wasted#working on my own projects in my own little bubble is the only thing that genuinely seems satisfying and engaging#ALSO as a sidenote it's just very funny to me how my brain works like.. I do not care about media and generally do not enjoy watching#shows or care at all about characters. BUT if you relate media to one of my main fixations at the moment (MBTI - enneagram - etc.) now#all of a sudden it's like 'yes lets watch shows and look up characters so I can relate them back to my own analysis of this personality#typing system' or etc. etc. Like no I cannot watch media just to enjoy it BUT if you turn media into something that can#be systematically analyzed and broken apart like a puzzle in my brain OKAY now I'm fine with it. I think this is also why I like watching#media analysis essays and stuff more than I enjoy watching actual media itself. Engaging with media critically and analytically#is one of the only things that can make it fun for me. Otherwise it's not engaging and I could care less. But this also adds to just...#I am SUCH a stereotypically 'boring' person ghgh.. If you want me to watch a tv show or movie you MUST make an argument for it#being being strongly relevant to one of my hyperspecific boring interests or else I simply will never care enough ghjghj#ANYWAY. the sheer fundamental NEED to pace back and forth talking about elves.. like it's a primary bodily function I can't go long without

Literally Me
I believe that INFPs are really good at following their “gut instincts.” And I think there’s plenty of good that comes out of this:
INFPs have this insane ability to feel something or someone out, and just know. Of course, we’re not always 100% accurate, but we are damn close. Likely around 95% accurate. Who knows? Perhaps people around us aren’t honest because they don’t like how INFPs can call someone out when they’re not in a good mood or hiding something hahaha. I’ve had many instances of sensing something off in someone, and they vehemently deny it only to admit to it later on. I knew I was right!
We’re creative problem-solvers and empathetic. Contrary to the belief that INFPs lack logic/rationality, we are very analytical in a creative sense. We see the details and then we try to connect the dots to see unconventional patterns. We are really good at going past all the symptomatic signs of an issue, and then cutting right to the core value of it to tackle the problem directly. This is extremely helpful when I’m counseling or providing customer service in my job. Most people would want to avoid an agitated person (and rightfully so), but us INFPs are intrigued by it. We’re curious what’s wrong. So we pull closer and listen to the person without judgment or reaction, and then we calmly offer insight, which can diffuse 98% of conflicts surprisingly. We move past the anger and empty words spilling out of the mouth, and we see a wounded soul who feels unheard by the world.
We have a strong ability to see many shades of gray. We see the positives in almost everything and everyone. While people around us say that “s/he sucks,” we don’t settle with short-fused conclusions. We reason why they are the way they are, what led up to this point, and see how they are the product of their own environment. Of course, we’re not just day-dreaming forgivers by any means, but we can look at a situation beyond the black-and-white way. This is immensely helpful for INFPs in building their strengths and resilience. While everyone around us is saying, “This is bad,” we will look at the good and neutral points of it which helps us to not take things personally and move forward relatively quickly.
Our imagination is out of this world! We are totally spaced out and thinking of the most random detail or scenario in our own heads. This might seem aloof or detached to others, but I actually really love this part of an INFP. We don’t need constant external stimulation. The party is in our own heads!
We’re the ultimate independent people. Due to our heavy introverted nature, we are okay doing things alone. So many people around me always ask me, “How can you eat alone? See a movie alone? Or do XYZ alone?” I just do it. I don’t care what people around me think, and if they do then that’s too bad for them. While we enjoy the company of others, we don’t rely on them for us to do the things we really want to do. We don’t follow social pressures, and we often wave our own freak flag proudly.

Look At Your Left Hand And Choose One That Resembles Yours!
The secret to your personality lies in the palm of your hand. Like, literally.
Don’t believe us? Well, to that all we can say is – don’t knock it before you try it! Since we’re all about making you smile, here’s a fun little gem that we happened to stumble upon. This test involves examining the anatomy of your left hand. According to its creators, the length and alignment of the fingers residing on your left hand could reveal facets of your personality that you may or may not be aware of.
So, why not give it a try? After all, there’s nothing to lose and so much to gain – some self-introspection or perhaps, even a good chuckle. Read on below to add a little sparkle to your day!
The Left-Hand Test: An Insight Into One’s Personality!
This test is remarkably simple and won’t take much of your time. All you need to do is study the image above and select the hand that most resembles the alignment of the fingers on your own left hand. Once you’re done, read on below to discover the persona most associated with your hand type.
1. If You Are Type A…

On the outside, you are: Logical, efficient, inflexible, and calculative. You prefer being in control, which is why you always choose stability over spontaneity.
On the inside, you are: You enjoy a successful career and hence, happen to be content in regards to your mental state. Kind but grumpy; you secretly get pleasure in helping others conquer their struggles.
When it comes to your love life: Empathetic and loving; you are extremely understanding of your partner and usually prove to be a great source of support. An inherent problem-solver, you often provide them with solutions to their everyday dilemmas. Yet, conversely, you never ask for help in return and have difficulty sharing your troubles.
2. If You Are Type B…

On the outside, you are: Sympathetic, selfless, loving, and generous. You generally receive more pleasure in giving rather than receiving. Altruism happens to be your middle name!
On the inside, you are: Somewhat too preoccupied with the welfare of your loved ones. This often comes at the cost of your own peace of mind and well-being, which can take a toll.
When it comes to your love life: When you’re struck by Cupid’s arrow, you want to share your euphoria with the entire world. Hence, you can always be counted upon to be the first one to update your Facebook relationship status once you begin dating. Nevertheless, you approach romance with a rare maturity, which your partner admires you for.
3. If You Are Type C…

On the outside, you are: Confident, loyal, charming, and persuasive. You are a veritable wordsmith and possess the gift of charming people onto your side.
On the inside, you are: You are an all or nothing personality. When chasing a goal that strikes your fancy, you put in your 100% and more. However, if the task isn’t to your liking, you are as lazy as a lackadaisical grasshopper during summer.
When it comes to your love life: The opposite gender loves you, thanks to your smooth-talking skills. But once you commence dating, you begin second-guessing yourself and find it difficult to keep up your urbane façade. This is the point when you should just drop that mask and let your significant other get to know the real you.
4. If You Are Type D…

On the outside, you are: Intelligent, analytical, imaginative, and observant. You tend to start projects on a whim and are profoundly creative.
On the inside, you are: A fanatic when it comes to problem-solving. A puzzle is your kryptonite and agony is your definition of a life problem you can’t solve.
When it comes to your love life: Supremely awkward. When someone reciprocates your feelings, you feel uncomfortable and lost as to how to proceed. We have only one piece of advice – stop overthinking things and just go with the flow!
5. If You Are Type E…
Shutterstock
On the outside, you are: Charming, creative, rational, and unique. There isn’t another like you!
On the inside, you are: Somewhat fragile. You struggle with childhood insecurities and demons. You also possess rather high standards, which inevitably leads to disappointment.
When it comes to your love life: The past has left invisible scars that you conceal well with a smile, however, it’s hurting your love life. It’s the reason why you struggle with commitment and push the people who love you away. You must learn to love yourself first; the rest will come naturally.
6. If You Are Type F…
Shutterstock
On the outside, you are: Curious, passionate, adventurous, and impatient! You take each day as it comes and live spontaneously.
On the inside, you are: The same! It’s a case of ‘what you see is what you get’ with you. There is nearly no discrepancy between who you are and what you present to the world.
When it comes to your love life: You are a wild one! When it comes to romantic entanglements, you are more open-minded than most. You hate being pinned down and prefer exploring the waters. In your mind, Love is a teacher and you, it’s insatiable student.
So, did you learn something new about your psyche? If so, let us know in the comments below!
