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.

I have an undescribable desire for someone to truly get to know me, but i simply cant show my trueself over getting cought in the problems of others.I have a feeling people see me just as that and no one tries to know me at all.

I'm so uncomfortable telling other people how I actually feel that I change the subject so they end up talking about themselves which isn't hard because people do it naturally. I realized that I'm happy when people tell me all about themselves,not sure why...

infp confession that i never really got into rock music in a deep way, but if give me a piece of orchestra music i could go on for days explaining the story and meaning behind the song

i’m addicted to people who hate me. or i hate them. i was reluctant to type infp for awhile bc i’m drawn to high Se users and learned to emulate them, but i never quite fit in with them (or anyone) and always end up hating everyone i’m around. or feeling so little in their presence. i love men who can’t love me. mostly xSxP men, and they like me because i’m generous and devoted enough to act stupid for them. i realized i’ve wasted my life on the wrong people wanting the wrong things, and don’t know how to shift gears. i’ve never once been happy around anyone in my life — which is on me. i’m just so sad.

Seeing people being so mean to each other really makes me sad, I can physically feel the pain, but I feel like whenever I tell someone, they don‘t understand me. Most just think I‘m being too sensitive, that I should just accept reality, but what kind of world is that, in which treating each other like dirt is considered normal? Idk this just really makes my heart ache, and I guess all I want is some love. I sometimes feel really alone because of that mindset. Thank you for this account

Thanks for your advice the other day! I saw said INFP today and we joked around and he seemed really happy to see me. Feeling a little better about it now, but will bring it up next time we hang out (making plans)

Same anon from before. What if I’ve told him it bothers me? He’s apologized and said it has nothing to do with me and that communication can be draining for him at times. I’m sure he doesn’t mean to hurt me intentionally but it does :/ he usually replies but when it comes to making plans and he doesn’t reply, it makes me worry I did something wrong

Meant to say, thanks for answering my ask! I guess I have a hard time understanding because I feel things so deeply. I’m an INFJ if that helps. When he doesn’t reply to making plans, it makes me think he doesn’t want to hang out with me. A lot of my friends tell me it’s just disrespectful but he’s so kind in so many ways so I don’t see it like that. He also knows it’s hurtful to me, and maybe he’s not trying to hurt me, but I do feel a little insecure about it.

I like an INFP guy but he’s inconsistent at texting. He said its nothing personal but I have a hard time not taking it personally. He’s usually responsive but one or two times he’ll express an interest in hanging out (at my proposal) then not reply when I follow up to make plans. Otherwise he shows many positive signs he’s into me. Any insight? Is this an INFP thing?
