I think I’ve answered variations on this question before. But it’s been a while, so let’s see if I have a different perspective than before.
First, I will say that there are people who do (mostly) understand INFPs. These are usually those who have an INFP in the family, as a close friend, or are in a relationship with an INFP.
As for the rest of the world… There’s quite a bunch of Extroverts and Sensors out there. That’s a good reason people might not understand INFPs.
Want more reasons? 😅 Hmm, let me think…
INFPs are not a very common type
INFPs are quiet and won’t share themselves with just anyone
INFPs enjoy discussing the unusual and lesser-chosen topics
INFPs spend a lot of time in their heads
INFPs want to explore all the what-ifs before moving on
INFPs may think and speak with metaphors and symbols
INFPs may be distracted by the beauty of trees blowing in the wind
INFPs take part in conversations to listen more than to speak
INFPs will feel emotional pain at another’s distress
INFPs can cry about something other people may not understand
INFPs dislike following the crowd without a good reason
INFPs may talk to animals and inanimate objects
INFPs want to understand the reasons behind someone’s actions
I think the most important reason is the first on my list. INFPs are not a common type. If something is less common, then it is less understood. Bottom line, really. Not sure if there is anything mysterious about it. 💗
Thanks for the question. 😊
I'll say I am lost until I find the place I belong to, until I find my home again.
I'd rather be weird and happy than normal and miserable.

rupikaur_ ♥️🙏🏽 so many of you have asked what you can do to support the #farmersprotest : slide through for info or read below 👇🏽 1) post on social media to raise awareness. i know this seems small. but it creates a ripple effect that will save lives. i’ve been advised by many human rights organizations that raising awareness on social media is the most effective tactic when dealing with the indian government. they are highly sensitive to international attention- so let’s give it to them. 2) put pressure on your local politicians and those with influence. put pressure on the media. ask them to speak up and bring attention to india’s human rights abuses. when freedom of press is attacked- democracy dies. every statement from officials around the world puts pressure on the indian government to take accountability for their human rights abuses. 3) if you’re interested in donating- @khalsa_aid is a great international humanitarian organization who is helping providing resources to farmers on the ground. thank you for your endless support family- i love you all ♥️ your thoughtfulness and desire to change the world is forever inspiring our people started protesting in punjab as early as july 2020. they marched to delhi on nov 27 and have been sleeping on the streets since. punjab- haryana- up- rajasthan. and beyond. the people are united across religion and geography. singing songs of freedom. our people feeding the masses. our people dying. activists abducted. journalists kidnapped. the government is currently building walls of cement and spikes around protest sites to cage people in. they try to defame our heroes. they sexually assault women in police custody. but truth will prevail. all of you. all of us. the diaspora marched and continues to give its heart out. onward. louder. stronger my friends. it’s working ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽#farmersprotest p.s. i can hear modi crying while throwing a temper tantrum 😆 music to my ears !!!

Things that matter are not easy. Feelings of happiness are easy. Happiness is not. Flirting is easy. Love is not. Saying you’re friends is easy. Being friends is not.

ADAM PARRISH — the raven cycle
“being adam parrish was a complicated thing, a wonder of muscles and organs, synapses and nerves. he was a miracle of moving parts, a study in survival. the most important thing to adam parrish, though, had always been free will, the ability to be his own master.”
Adulting to me involves the stuffy things I have to do to survive. Usually, somehow forcing myself to be a good little human by skirting around the outer edges of society.
This world forces people to suffer hours every day just so they can eat and live under a warm roof. What kind of world is this? Why isn’t food and safety a right? Why are people struggling with more than one job just to feed their children? This is a broken world.
So I have to pretend to be like the rest of the poor souls and adult my way through life. Push myself in ways I haven’t before. Pay a bill for something that makes no sense to me. Don’t even get me started on taxes. Why am I working just so some invisible entity can steal it all away?
Is that being an adult? Or a blind pushover?
“Adulting” only reminds me of what I dislike about this planet. There is so much more to living than being forced to sit in front of blinding screens and working our fingers raw for a mere nickel that will only be stolen away in the end.
I want people to see how beautiful life can be. That the pressures we face daily aren’t what being alive is about. Life is about expanding our minds and entwining our hearts with those we love. Everything else is an unnecessary burden to bury in an empty field, then covered over in blue wildflowers.
Forget this adulting business. It isn’t being an adult to take on these responsibilities. It just means a person is old enough to officially take on roles we’ve been trained for since we first stepped foot into school as children. All those long years of brainwashing just for these happy moments of being an adult. I’m not particularly proud of what humanity is doing to itself. *sighs and wanders off*

I want to play a game with you all.
You have to make a new word by changing only one letter of the last word.

He called Henry the North Star once. That wasn’t bright enough.
the whole “fiction doesn’t affect reality” argument is actually kinda racist…
So Cooolll!
Part 2 of my Percy Jackson Tattoo Series: Annabeth Chase! Annabeth’s sleeve is an owl holding a Trident, the coin from the Mark of Athena, The New York City skyline, her family’s names, her underwater kiss with Percy, and Thalia’s pine tree with her and Luke’s names under its roots. She also has a helmet, which to me represents her being a warrior, with seaweed brain above it. The “AO” symbol is my interpretation of her being the architect of Olympus, and the night sky on her forearm is meant to represent when she and Percy were forced to replace Atlas and hold up the sky. She has “Hubris” in Greek on her forearm, and an illustration from Paradise Lost on her thigh of Lucifer falling from heaven, a classic example of hubris. This is meant to remind her of her fatal flaw. On her other thigh she has her lifeline thread, she has a small wave on her thumb, and she has a P on her shoulder for Percy.
But the truth is, also, simply this: love is indomitable
Please have some holiday FirstPrince art of Henry stuffing his Christmas cards with rosemary sprigs all because Casey McQuiston had the audacity to write this tweet:

This book is the most romantic thing I have read in my life.
the rwrb fandom is just as pushy as theatre kids… “I LOVE HIM ???? ON PURPOSE!!” “READ RWRB!!” *Offers to lend you the book* “Omg its so good i-” “HISTORY, HUH????”
Does it even exist at all? Or is it another dream?
