INFP

INFPs are naturally caring people, with intense imaginations. When the INFP has grown and matured they develop a more forgiving attitude towards people who do not share their moral code. INFPs have very strong internal values, which can make it difficult for them to be around people who do not share those views. When the INFP develops their weaker functions they learn to understand that it is perfectly acceptable for people to disagree with them, and that it does not make them a bad person. The matured INFP has spent time under the weight of their own emotions, and has learned not to let it crush them.

– Give them space and time alone to sort out their feelings. – Validate their feelings. – Remind them of their strengths. – Don’t give them advice. This will only make them feel worse. – Let them “get away” from it all. – Exercise can help. However, with these types, it’s best not to suggest it when they are stressed, but after, as a solution. – Forgive them if they’ve been overly critical while stressed. – Let them work on a project they’ve been interested in, but maybe have been too busy to spend time on.

We are the smart ones and nice ones.

The honesty they bring to each encounter. The soft and calming presence of their minds. The virtues they can pull from any vices, and the artwork they can make from any pain. The fierceness they apply to their convictions. the way they live and die by their beliefs. Their ability to weave the chaos and the suffering of humanity into an intricate tapestry of understanding. The shame they alleviate through sharing their own.

The INFP who is burnt out, is extremely on edge, and might find themselves snapping at people. They normally are good at keeping their composure and their emotions in check, but not during this time. The INFP will become short tempered and might even provoke fights. If they are incapable of removing themselves from the difficult situations, the INFP needs to make time for themselves when they can. Revert to things that comfort them and ease their minds- this is necessary in order to men their souls. If it is possible, a small vacation might be in order.

Me: I know everyone is in self-isolation for the recent status of the world. Please feel free to talk with me. If you kept quiet, you will drag yourself to depression. Which I don't think you want at all. Communicating is important. If you feel to talk with you're friend, just video call and talk with the person.

INFPs are accepting and nonjudgmental in their treatment of others, believing that each person must follow their own path. They are flexible and accommodating, and can often see many points of view. It is important to the INFP to support other people; however, the INFP may react strongly if they feel their own values are being violated. They especially hate being steamrolled by people who insist there is one right way to do things. INFPs want an open, supportive exchange of ideas.
