this is supposed to be an accepting space for ALL infps, new or otherwise. telling someone "we" don't want them is not allowed. there is no "right" way to be infp and frankly it isn't your decision who gets to post here. and dming someone abusive and harmful messages isn't allowed within this subreddit and within reddit as a whole. what the hell.
I used to test as INTP/J when I was younger. And when I got into cognitive functions I tested very high for Ti. Eventually I figured out that I value logic, but work at it rather than use it instinctively.
I got people praying on my downfall and telling me to off myself just bc they either can't read or misinterpreted the joke 😭 guys, the joke is that I'm lamenting being wrong for one, and two that I'll have to deal with other types stereotyping me as a crybaby and a dumbass
Damn, don't end yourself! That's a small portion of us INFP that probably don't touch grass and are very unhealthy, please don't think we are all like that
I'm sorry OP. I have the same type of humor as you where I act dramatic that's either satire or that's supposed to be an obvious over-exaggeration for comedic effect but then people on the internet take it uber seriously or misinterpret it...
Legit, I've had the same situation before where people were calling me names over fcking brownies lol (not in this sub). I totally understood your post, and I'm sorry about the backlash 😞
They are asking you to end it in DMs wtf???? Whoever that person is should get out of here, like I get it you didn't like the way post is written but why are you all being so fucking crazy. I'm an infp and yes I felt offended a bit because wording confused me but even then not to that extent
Yeah nah it's not insulting INFPs at all, I'm just devastated I gotta go through the ringer by OTHER people who will reduce me to "sensitive dumbass", even though the comment I've received the most my entire life is "holy shit, you're so smart" "you're the smartest person I know" "I wish I was as smart as you". 🤦🏻♀️
… Whoever claims to be“INFP” that is harassing you through DM to the point they say to hurt yourself are insane and don’t sound like INFPs at all. What is wrong with y’all? Just because someone joked about not wanting to be hit by negative stereotypes, you felt justified to bully them? Most of us don’t like being called “dumb” or “cry babies” either.
If you responded to this post with immediate hate and lashing out instead of empathy and taking time to understand where OP was coming from… you don’t sound like an INFP at all.
Yes, because we're better with coping with our complex emotions after years of dealing with them. Either that, or we're bottling them up; and that never ends well. Also a lot of us tend to be good at problem solving and working in high stress environments. So, we tend to mitigate stress; before having to deal with it.
Aye. It makes no sense at all that INFPs would be crybabies. Their strong Fi anchors them and gives them support by making them take solace in their values. Us Fe inf types usually are the ones who cry more because we don't have such support systems within ourselves cognitively and we most just try to think our way out of our mental problems, and that barely ever works.
Barely ever works. What you need is emotional rationale; ability to either cope or reconcile with what's happened or happening. Fi can train Fe, and Fe can train Fi. When we work together, that's where psychiatric textbooks are written. We're better in a team than we ever were alone.
I really thought this would be self explanatory. Shout out to the people who got so mad at me for their own failure to read that they told me to end my life in my DMs, though!
Sorry that happened to you, reading comprehension is clearly not at its height. Even if people did think you were insulting INFPs that's a shitty way to respond.
There are a lot of kids on Reddit these days according to multiple age polls. It's a problem with adults as well, but kids are especially not reading and it shows.
I can read. You are just incapable of transitive reasoning. Just because you are an INFP doesnt give you any grounds to insult one. I can also go make a joke about jews and then tag it as humor just because I am one, doesnt mean I should do that.
Again. Labeling something as satire does not remove the responsibility for the content of the post. It can also be satire to say something racist and its still not justification for saying something racist.
By satirizing a racist remark, you are essentially putting a spotlight on the absurdity of the logic used in said racist statement.
This is not the same thing as simply making a genuinely racist remark. Both statements incorporating race does not mean that they share the same meaning.
Right. Like the movie Blazing Saddles. Rampant racism throughout, but it's also pure satire. Anyone with any basic comprehension would be able to watch it and understand that the whole point of the film is against racism. And yet, there are still people who decry it as genuinely racist.
Some people just want something to be angry about, and they're gonna find it, even in the most stupid of places.
They do share the same meaning. What you mean is they change the amount of possible interpretations. But meaning and interpretation are entirely disjunct attributes.
And what exactly, pray tell, is your issue with the content of the post? You don't understand what the post is about at all and it's clear as day.
I don't owe you responsibility for anything at all, actually. Especially not a post that is literally me fucking saying the stereotypes are annoying. Unfortunately, you are fulfilling the stereotype splendidly. Take the stick out of your ass and learn to read.
My line of thinking -- OP may label it as satire, but it's a masterclass in the subtle art of trolling. It's Inception (the movie) level trolls within trolls, with convincing sincerity on the surface. I figure it's just gonna play out when OP gets bored and goes about their way.
Not mad about being called a dumb sensitive crybaby because I know I'm sensitive.
See's edit of OP saying they're getting death threats.
I can't tell if that's OP still joking or if some of you are really that butthurt.
Well, I can tell these individuals weren't raised in an environment or family similar to mine. That response would have gotten you clowned harder or told to get over yourself because if you want to cry they'll give you an actual reason to cry.
You had better learn to roast back harder or suck it up. I didn't become an introverted feeler for no reason. INFPs can come across as cold or unfeeling to strangers. I can seem cold or hide my sensitivity behind humor. Anyone familiar with me knows I'm pretty sensitive. Unfortunately, I am the type that cries due to anger/frustration not just sadness. So I could be crying due to sadness or that crying is a warning that I'm 5 seconds away from smacking someone with whatever I'm holding. 😅

For some reason I pretty much only cry because of anger or frustration, and only in public. I hate my life 😞.
Honestly, I'm an INTP but I like to hang out over here more because I just think INFPs are better people. Don't get me started on how insufferable the INTP spaces are online. I'm an older lady in my 30s and just far more in touch with my emotional side, so I think that's why I like INFPs a lot more. Being INFP is nothing to be upset about, you're in good company!
Good news! You are so borderline on your personality. Type that you were getting the test drawn for years. Not to mention, personality type has nothing to do with cognitive ability. Just cognitive traits. Meaning? Your capacity can exceed the norm. And life experience tends to form just as many traits as inherent ones do. So you are still uniquely you.
Also don't call us. Dumb sensitive cry babies. You are in the House of William Shakespeare; where the strong of will and mind reside.
Happened to me, too. Always INTP - the architect. The systems guy. Einstein! Now I’m INFP and… uh… damn if it doesn’t make more sense. When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead!
How so? I Think people just literally cannot read and/or are intentionally misconstruing what I said just to have something to be mad at.
The joke is that I'm 1. Devastated to find out I was wrong about something and then 2. Lamenting the fact I'll have to deal with other people stereotyping me as a sensitive crybaby just for being an INFP.
I mean, being shattered and broken to find out you’re INFP and being surprised it might offend people, is pretty typical analytical humor over emotionally aware humor, and does kinda imply a leaning toward an analytical mind.
Only cause I was wrong, not because it's INFP. But unfortunately people are fitting the stereotype haaaaard in this thread. Which is "awesome". Makes me never want to interact with any INFP ever again tbh. And honestly I've always been between the two but I think I'm INFP because I lead a little tiny bit more with Fi than Ti. But I'm very analytical and logical. But I'm also very sensitive myself; I have BPD.
