alex & henry ± thousand “we meet so many people. i mean, thousands and thousands of people, and a lot of them are morons, and a lot of them

I think I’ve answered variations on this question before. But it’s been a while, so let’s see if I have a different perspective than before.

First, I will say that there are people who do (mostly) understand INFPs. These are usually those who have an INFP in the family, as a close friend, or are in a relationship with an INFP.

As for the rest of the world… There’s quite a bunch of Extroverts and Sensors out there. That’s a good reason people might not understand INFPs.

Want more reasons? 😅 Hmm, let me think… 

INFPs are not a very common type

INFPs are quiet and won’t share themselves with just anyone

INFPs enjoy discussing the unusual and lesser-chosen topics

INFPs spend a lot of time in their heads

INFPs want to explore all the what-ifs before moving on

INFPs may think and speak with metaphors and symbols

INFPs may be distracted by the beauty of trees blowing in the wind

INFPs take part in conversations to listen more than to speak

INFPs will feel emotional pain at another’s distress

INFPs can cry about something other people may not understand

INFPs dislike following the crowd without a good reason

INFPs may talk to animals and inanimate objects

INFPs want to understand the reasons behind someone’s actions

I think the most important reason is the first on my list. INFPs are not a common type. If something is less common, then it is less understood. Bottom line, really. Not sure if there is anything mysterious about it. 💗

Thanks for the question. 😊

Change a single letter and change the word game

I want to play a game with you all.

You have to make a new word by changing only one letter of the last word.

Actually, I thought that INFPs were pretty morally obvious. Most of the life choices an INFP makes are based on one internal personal guideline or another.

Perhaps there might be some confusion as to what exactly are these mysterious INFP morals. Why aren’t they perfectly clear to others? And how does an INFP make decisions based on them?

From personal experience, my internal guidelines are the feels that let me know when something is good or not so good. They probably aren’t based on anything logical other than “be nice to each other and if you’re not nice to someone I care about, I will kick you in your butt!”

So maybe that is morally ambiguous after all…? I’m a nice person and dislike hurting people, but I will harm someone if they hurt a loved one. The morals aren’t ambiguous to me, but maybe it’s unclear to others? Haha! It’s good to keep them guessing. 😅

I also read that abstract thinking is part of being an Intuitive type.

I find it difficult to be objective and answer this question outside of myself. I’m too immersed in it and I’m not certain in this instance what it’s like not to have internal guidelines that help in life. I would be so very lost! 😕

These internal morals aren’t ambiguous to me, but they probably are to non-INFPs? That’s as close to an answer as I have. 💗

Thanks for the question! 😊

Related questions- How would an INFP discover their ideals? What’s an INFP who hasn’t discovered his values like? As an INFP, what are some of your main values and beliefs and what are the reasons behind them?
