meet other INFP's

Being an introvert, I celebrate my alone time, but I have learned that I need people time, too. Sometimes, it’s a fine balance that needs to be maintained.

I’m really interested in meeting folks like myself. I’m not entirely sure what else to write here. I just like deep, friendly people who see the worth in others.

This really does not matter to me at all.

At the moment I’m liking not being as lost as some people in my life are at the moment.
All those hours of Fi torture are paying off a bit :)

Always thought i was weird..people say it’s extremely difficult to get to know me. I identify with most if not everything in the INFP profile. I’m not weird after all, but really special and unique. I love that, and i love knowing that there are more of us out there! Lots of love.

Hmm…

I think this might be a little hard for me to complete since there’s only about 4-5% of us out there.

All of this is true about me down to the last dot.
It’s weird.
But neat.

It’s neird.

Introvert, iNtuitive, Feeler, Perceiver (INFP)
INFPs represent between 4 and 5% of the U.S. population

INFPs value inner harmony above all else.
Sensitive, idealistic, and loyal, they have a strong sense of honor concerning their personal values and are often passionately committed to making sure their beliefs and actions are congruent.
INFPs are also extremely perceptive about people. They value their uniqueness and typically seek unconventional ways of doing things. Sensitive and empathetic, INFPs tend to be exceptionally adept at reading between the lines. Although they demonstrate cool reserve on the outside, INFPs care deeply inside. They are compassionate, sympathetic, understanding and very sensitive to the feelings of others. They avoid conflict and are not interested in impressing or dominating others unless their values are at stake. INFPs seldom express the intensity of their feelings and often appear reticent and calm. However, once they know you, they are enthusiastic and warm. Feeling truly understood and respected for their unique perspective and strong values is important for many INFPs.

INFPs Tend To Be:

• Deeply committed to work and a vision they believe in
• Adaptable & patient
• Creative, resourceful & naturally curious
• Highly diplomatic consensus builders
• Perceptive about others’ needs & motivations
• Able to “think outside the box” & see possibilities

Career Satisfiers
All people are most satisfied and successful when using their natural talents in an environment that is consistent with their personality preferences and values. Research shows that INFPs are most satisfied by jobs that provide the following:

• Supportive, meaningful relationships with a small group of co-workers
• A role in helping others grow & develop their fullest potential
• A tension-free, collaborative work environment
• Work that is consistent with their strong, personal values
• A role that does not involve public speaking, or disciplining others

I had never heard of the “shadow mode” concept before now – that a lot of INFPs find they have to be ESTJs at work and it’s draining.

Yes!!! That is so true for me, and it helps to know others struggle in similar ways.

I guess I finally found a place where it seems suitable to satisfy my intense writing cravings. You guys ought to now about it, we are supposed to share some of our longings and desires.

I like the indicator type, it is like a scientific replacement to astrology. And it makes so much more sense to me to meet people based on this indicator than hobbies or activities.

I don’t really relate to people who does the same work, or follows the same hobbies, as much as I relate to people with the same outlook on life.

This is an especially difficult time for a most intense INFP. A relationship that I invested my heart and soul into has come to an end because he said I couldn’t communicate effectively. How I tried!!!! He said I did a good job when I’d email him, but otherwise he just felt that I kept too much inside. That hurt. Because I love him with great tenderness and depth and it hurts also because I know how much I FEEL and THINK and yet, he felt isolated from my world. I though we were going to get married. Is there any romantic hope for a true INFP? Please give me hope, because right now, I’m in agony. I need a friend, and though family has reached out, the aloneness is overwhelming.

infp’s!
