I am INFP personality type

It stands for introverted intuitive feeling and prospecting/perceiving . Some of my challenges and quirks may also come with my temperament not only because I have mental health disabilities. For example why I don’t do well in competitive high pressure or cutthroat environments like working in retail or sales or dealing with customer service environments. I don’t have the energy levels of an extrovert to be dealing with people on a constant basis and having to be on all the time. I have no patience for people’s demands and I am very emotionally sensitive so often many environments and types of people and types of work are depressing and draining for me. I also like independent personalized learning styles for education. I could go on.

INFPs are so common, yet so tragically flawed as they are introverted while feeling a need for equanimity, another's health while feeling trapped in their own needs . How you wrote I could reflect as much as you did, most stories I tell myself are just reflections I need. I love people, it's my disposition I have no choice upon and that helps me.

@awildsheepschase hey hey now, we INFPs are pretty rare, 4-5% of the population (they say)

it does make me feel a little better about not being naturally competitive in this world where that’s kind of necessary to succeed.

@Fallflower We live in an extroverts world now. If I listened to how society talks, I would let introversion become bad. And my sample size, those I have found as friends, was how I used it's so common to be an INFP.

I love not being competitive, I let those who need that find that for themselves. It does mean, maybe I have not found in this world, all I could in material which might give more chances upon a life I want, but I learned I love those I have with me more than I could ever ask.

@awildsheepschase I feel the same way about money. I sometimes wish I cared more about it &but I just can’t seem to make myself to.

@Fallflower How far will it get you though? I ask myself so often, just give myself more this way, but I'm not after that chase. I'm after something I think most would not understand, love before anything
