to have a problem with time moving, when having fun with people i notice others caught up
in the moment fully, me too, but at a certain stages or stages i would keep looking at the time thinking 'oh all this fun is going to end in 3o mins etc..', i basically can't get enough of even 3 hours when enjoying myself,whilst others can do with just 1 hour, i can pass hours like others pass minutes, are u the same??
I'm an INFP, but I thought I was an ENFP for so long because my Ne is highly developed for my age (I'm 18). I socialize well enough and have no problem acting and then thinking (rather than Fi's thinking and then acting) in extroverted settings... but I get bored and tired of most people so quickly that it feels like I have to force myself to really care about what's going on "out there". It sucks because I look like an extrovert in the eyes of my friends so they expect me to extrovert. :/
i can completely relate to everything u just said. i feel like no body i speak to gets the bigger picture, they just focus on minor details that go on through the day and i cant do that. i look at the forest not the trees... i am especially close to music, bruce springsteen in particular because he is so real in his lyrics and has many many songs i hold dear to my heart. many of his songs i say to myself r such INFP songs. either way it does stink being an INFP most of the time ;-(
The struggle to express oneself verbal never seems to go away...it's trying to find the right words..a drawback of being flooded with "word candidates" to pick from constantly... Small talk is not a problem when you adopt the idea that it in itself is an art... and the creativity comes in the challenge of not running out of topics and staying interested throughout... At least that's been my experience all these years....
I'm an infp, and i have a very hard time approaching people. I don't really know how to make friends. It seems like some kind of a deep mystery to me :P
I also think its the negative thinking habits. Like sometimes I feel like people don't like me by their expressions. I get really sensitive. Its prob true. HAha
Yeah Marijuana can help but only if I'm around the right people. I think it is the negative thinking habits. Also, I think it was a lack of social interaction. During the summer I didn't really leave my house that often and right now I'm never home and I feel so much better. I have an easier time talking to people the more I practice. I understand what you mean about being sensitive to people's facial reactions. I'm the same way. It does make it harder to talk to people for sure
@littleflowwer I find it actually makes me MORE anxious oftentimes -- it frequently just takes away my ability to block out emotions or anxiety I'm feeling, which is actually a good thing because it allows me to face those things head-on instead of hiding from them.
I remember smoking a few years ago with a friend's friend and having my social anxiety kick into double-time. But again, it helps me to face those things head-on due to this.
Even though I'm probably only slighter older, I can definitely assure you that expressing yourself verbally becomes easier with time. And it's true, we are definitely more creatively attuned (the SP's don't have full ownership over the arts!) Music has definitely been a saving grace for me; sounds like it has for you too. Thank you so much for posting.
I seriously cannot keep up a conversation at all..I blank out, and it gets very awkward. I usually just walk away or start doing something else!! its very embarassing and hard for me too :(
public speaking, I'd rather die than go up and talk..
also I love music and art, i spend most of my days drawing or painting while listening to music..it feels exhilarating :)
Im glad im not alone in my "failures" so to speak lol...
yeah im the same, struggle with my nerves especially if im talking to more than 1 person. same with art and music i couldnt survive without them and i have my dose on a daily basis, theyre essential to fall back on, like whenever i have a bad day im guaranteed to end up on my own listening to music. out of all the infps ive seen on youtube youre the one i see as most like myself, probably cuz you were really nervous and you said music and art are the only great things humanity has created x
@dowfhg Thank you :) Yeah it is hard to find stuff to talk about with people you don't connect with. Especially when you run out of those small talk questions lol
Hey, I'm an infp and also feel i have trouble talking to people. I think its because everyone else i know can do small talk, random chatting or flirting while i dont have a clue. its pretty common for me to be told by someone that they havent had such a deep conversation for ages, but if it isnt deep or interesting i just sit their like a lemon. i talk like you as well, lots or err, ums and tangents.
I can talk for hours with the right person, 10 seconds the wrong (most) bummer.
