Explain in detail the development process of INFP from sensitive depression to mature and powerful personality.

(I hope it can help the confused INFP get out of the fog)

INFP is dreamy, beautiful, carefree, profound and fragrant.

INFP likes to laugh at himself as a "dreamer". In fact, they are always in awe. For them, dreams are life, and souls must be born with passion.

Every INFP will experience loneliness, sensitivity, emotion and self-doubt to some extent, which is nothing more than a growing subject, and they will eventually mature after their personality is fully developed.

Mature INFP is firm and indestructible, and will not be affected by the objective environment. At the same time, they are creative enough. They can dream, interpret dreams and live in this world flexibly and successfully.

The unique advantages of each personality can only be brought into full play after the personality is fully developed. INFP, like other personalities, will move from naivety to maturity and from personality prototype to all-round development of personality, which is inevitable.

0 1 What is the development of whole personality?

MBTI divides people's thinking into four categories: feeling, intuition, thinking and emotion. Because of the distinction between the internal world and the external world, it is further divided into eight thinking functions.

Because of the most commonly used and advantageous thinking function, individuals decide which personality type they belong to 16.

However, if you willfully use only the functions that you are best at and avoid facing the inferior functions, then an individual will have a blind spot of thinking, which will form a shadow zone of personality and pose a threat to individual development.

Healthy personality development needs two elements.

① At the same time, the functions of perception and judgment have been developed, of which the most developed is leading and the less developed is consulting.

② It has two functions: extroversion and introversion, with one of them as the leading factor.

Therefore, the maturity of each role is accompanied by the dynamic development of four main functions.

The four functions of INFP are compulsory courses in the growth of INFP.

Core talent (leadership function): Fi, introverted mood

DiviNe help (second function): ne, extroverted intuition

Substitution (the third function): Si, introversion

Inferior function (fourth function): Te, extroverted thinking

Hidden functions are rarely used, and only when individuals are under pressure to develop these functions will they appear.

The fifth function (hiding): Fe, extroverted emotion

The sixth function (hiding): Ni, introverted intuition

The seventh function (hiding): Se, extroversion.

The eighth function (hiding): Ti, introverted thinking

INFP's favorite thinking function in childhood is Fi, introverted emotion. It is an emotional harmony that points to the heart. Fi seeks identity and belonging, explores self-worth, and longs for emotional resonance.

Different from Fe, Fe is an exposed emotional expression, an emotional response to others, while Fi stays in my heart and belongs to myself.

Therefore, it is difficult for you to understand INFP's inner feelings. They are so calm on the surface, but in fact their hearts have been turned upside down and magnificent.

Being praised and feeling love, INFP is inner joy, and rarely expresses "I am very happy" on my own initiative;

Being wronged and misunderstood, INFP is used to keeping it in his heart, and rarely says "I am sad" and "I am wronged". This negative emotion is very easy to ferment and escalate in the heart and become a worse negative emotion.

Both Fe and Fi are eager to have emotional connection with people, while Fi prefers focused emotional interaction and one-on-one deep and strong emotional connection.

INFP can easily project its feelings and love on a person or an animal, which may show extreme attachment to parents. When the young INFP first heard that people would die of illness and their parents might leave them, it was very broken and it was difficult to resolve for a long time.

INFP may keep a small animal, which bears all the love of INFP and takes good care of it.

INFP will also be very precocious, and will like and attach to a heterosexual. This kind of love is a complete spiritual pillar and belief. That man, like his own God, dominates all his passion for life.

At this point, the immature INFP looks boneless and always wants to have a support; It is also like a clear soul. It always wants to attach its soul to a person, an animal or an object, and it is difficult to pull it out of extreme attachment. If a beloved person or animal leaves or betrays himself, INFP's confidence and happiness will be brutally cut off and fall to the bottom.

INFP is very soft, kind, compassionate and empathetic. Similarly, to help others, INFP often chooses to play the role of "giving timely help in the snow" and rarely "icing on the cake".

They pay attention to people on the verge of despair and are eager to save people in from the mire. They can't help but help vagrants and beggars, protect endangered species, help abused small animals, and help women and children who are treated unfairly.

These interactions are characterized by strong emotional connection.

INFP likes literature, especially it is easily attracted by tragic literature, and feels strong emotional communication in the despair, struggle, fragmentation and madness of the role.

Fei has a strong understanding of emotions. If INFP becomes a novelist or screenwriter, it will inevitably portray emotions in a penetrating way.

INFP is also very easy to be attracted by people with distinctive personality and maverick, partly because they express INFP's voice, and another important reason is that they are alone and eager to be understood.

Fei likes to establish deep ties with individuals.

Fei is also very eager to be understood. INFP is eager to have a positive influence on others with its own values, and always feels the power of love and hope.

Fi has been looking for, exploring dreams, self, values, and finding his place in the world. INFP is eager to find the passion of life, and has the internal driving force of continuous explosion since then.

Passion is bound to be accompanied by emotion. Before T is fully developed, INFP tends to prepare something desperately and eagerly, and will give up quickly when encountering setbacks.

The second function, Ne's extroversion intuition, INFP shows spiritual charm.

Ne explores the possibility of the outside world and explores the internal relations of many things.

INFP often connects two completely unrelated things to create a kind of cold humor or profound art ... just like the clever switching of shots in movies, from overlooking buildings to the chessboard of games, from the silhouette of jumping to the eagle eye of hunger and hunting. The audience will immediately understand its meaning and sigh the brain hole of the screenwriter. That's great!

Under the influence of Ne, INFP's hobbies will be very extensive. Painting, literature, photography, movies, tourism, psychology. ...

INFP likes to find the resonance between soul and spirit in art. This kind of inspiration is free, and of course there will be some three-minute fever.

INFP is very interested in mysterious things. They will sneak into the world to study unsolved mysteries, mysterious religions and bizarre stories.

This kind of interest and expectation for the unknown and unpredictable keeps INFP always open-minded and always ready for the next miracle. This positive attitude towards the future is a glimmer of hope for INFP to succeed in nirvana, even though it is on the verge of despair many times.

1 1

INFP is very nostalgic. This is mainly due to the third function Si.

Si is a memory of the past, a summary of experience, and a careful observation of all things related to oneself.

INFP will like to collect used items, just like collecting memories. The pursuit of the past is also a reason why INFP yearns for ancient culture and religion.

When I am sad, Si often plays a negative role, which will make me remember my wounds firmly, and I can't help being trapped in the whirlpool of memories, licking the wounds over and over again, and taking care of myself.

INFP depression began with the conscious development of T, and Ti was developed before Te, because for introverted energy type, all introverted functions are easier.

INFP will change to God's perspective, look at everything that happens to him calmly and rationally, sum up experience with the help of Si, analyze the internal principle of events with the help of Ti, and analyze the essential relationship between emotions and events. This is a good start for INFP to break away from emotion.

Combined with Fi-Ti's judgment, INFP rationalizes itself through introspection, establishes a self-value system, evaluates itself more rationally and objectively, and greatly reduces the chance of self-doubt.

However, only developing Ti's inward thinking can't effectively balance the internal and external world. Because the combination of Fi-Ne-Si-Ti does not have the judgment function facing the outside world, INFP is very ineffective in communicating with people and doing things.

Developing extroversion thinking is a basic task of INFP, but as a secondary function, INFP loves and hates extroversion. On the one hand, the subconscious mind resists and evades this function, on the other hand, it admires people with strong execution and high efficiency.

There are many ways for the subconscious to avoid active use of Te.

Take stock of the past, recall the past, tremble in sorrow, and wait for someone to save you. Sometimes Fi uses Si to make up stories. INFP can extract any emotion it wants from its memory. Self-pity and emotional recovery are time-consuming.

INFP will also ride the wings of Ne, pursue endless inspiration, watch movies, read history books, and explore mysteries and unknowns. In any case, INFP will make itself look busy and full.

The escaped INFP had many dreams, but none of them came true. When the outside world has demands or pressures on INFP, INFP will make painful compromises. INFP is very easy to compromise with close people, which shows that even if it is ideal, it will obey the arrangement of parents, because at this time INFP is not sure whether what it pursues is useless.

Once INFP returns to reality, it is difficult to gain a foothold. Strong Fi's hunger and urgency for desire, and weak Te's inability to realize desire constitute a distinct "dissatisfaction". INFP will be very eager to have the ability of Te, and even want to "cut corners" to find a partner (ESTJ) with Te as the leading function, pretending to have a complete personality.

In fact, there are indeed many couples of INFP women and ESTJ men, especially those who get married before the age of 25. ESTJ's enterprising spirit and earning ability can provide sufficient and stable material guarantee for INFP, and INFP will be more satisfied in close interaction with children. However, it is an illusion to achieve self-improvement under the guise of others, and this relationship is unbalanced.

For male INFP, marriage and stable partnership can't give him much sense of security. They may look for and experience a lot of jobs in order to find a career that conforms to values and earn considerable income.

Whether you have a happy marriage or a stable high income, if you don't do what you like, INFP's dream will still be restless and eager to realize itself.

INFP will eventually face the life problems of Te.

Te is the shaping and order control of the external world. It is manifested in the arrangement of things, the efficient implementation of the plan, the decisive decision on multiple options, and the desire to control others.

Ways to exercise Te:

(1) Put the rooms and articles in order and clearly classify them.

(2) Absorb fragmented knowledge and establish a knowledge system.

(3) In the face of a difficult fork in the road, list the advantages and disadvantages of each option and make a decisive decision.

(4) Learn to analyze advantages and disadvantages, and be able to reasonably refuse other people's requests.

⑤ Carry out the plan to realize the task step by step and resolutely.

Some people say that INFP is a disease that only the rich second generation can afford.

Objectively speaking, INFP's ideal has nothing to do with money, but it depends on money to realize it.

These ideals may be

Take a trip on a sunny morning.

Painting, photography, writing, only creating works that you like.

Travel to different countries and experience different cultures.

……

If there is enough material security, it must be the most perfect state to enjoy these things carefree instead of making money.

And if you want to be able to do what you like and make money, you must grow a utilitarian heart. Instead of simply tasting the enjoyment created by others for yourself, become a creator. For example, painting, from appreciating other people's paintings to being able to create by yourself, to making your own creation profitable.

If you make full use of the functions of Fi-Ne-Si-Te and engage in your favorite career, INFP will be deeply satisfied.

Fi can produce strong internal drive and endless passion; Ne is responsible for inspiration, creativity and insight; Si pays attention to facts and details; Te makes rational decisions and resolutely implements them.

INFP can be an elegant artist, an inspirational writer and screenwriter, or an understanding psychologist, teacher and consultant. Of course, freelancers are definitely the best!
