INFP's make up about 4% of the population. They're the dreamers, the mediators, the romantics, the people you know will always have your back. Your INFP friends put you at ease and are very laid back. Are you an INFP yourself, or think you may be? Check out these 22 signs that you are, indeed, an INFP.
1. You avoid conflict at all costs.
INFPs are not confrontational people. Personally, even if it means I'm going to hurt myself by avoiding conflict, I'll still do it.
2. You just want everyone to get along and be happy.
This goes back to hating conflict. We don't like it when people fight or are upset - you just want everyone to be happy.
3. You really put your thoughts and feelings into creativity – you pour your heart into poetry, paintings, songs, or other creative forms.
When you paint a picture, you don't just paint a flower - you put real thought into it. You pour your heart into your art forms and that's what really makes them stand out.
4. It’s really hard for someone to get to know you because you are so guarded.
It's hard for an INFP to let their guard down. We've been hurt so many times it's just natural for us to stay guarded.
5. You like to daydream more than spending time in reality.
Personally, I have a very detailed fantasy world. I spend a lot of time in my fantasy life where everything is perfect and everyone is happy. This is typical for an INFP.
6. Simply put you’re a hopeless romantic.
You love love.
7. You don’t handle criticism well.
INFPs have the tendency to take criticism, even when it's meant in the most constructive, heartfelt way, very personally. Maybe this is why I cry every time I do something wrong?
8. You are the most loyal friend there is.
You won't find a better friend than an INFP. They're your ride or die from day one on.
9. You love anything and everything inspirational.
I have way too many inspirational quotes hanging on my wall. If you smack a quote, even a simple as "dream big," on something I'm a million times more likely to buy it.
10. You see the good in EVERYONE.
Even the people who screw you over time and time again.
11. You are very optimistic and positive.
That glass is always half full to you.
12. You care about others more than they care about you.
Which means sometimes, yes, you'll let people walk all over you.
13. You love when people recognize your hard work.
You're not one to brag about yourself and you aren't the biggest fan of the spotlight, but when your heart work is noticed you glisten with pride.
14. You tend to have mood swings – one minute you’re at an all-time high and the next you’re at rock bottom.
There have been days that have started out for me in tears and then an hour later I'm happier than ever. It's an INFP thing, I guess.
15. You love animals & truly appreciate their company.
Nothing beats cuddles with your dog.
16. You love helping others but never want to bother others with your problems.
You're the first person to offer to help out a friend in need but if you ever need something you're quite hesitant to ask even your best friend for help...
17. It makes your day to hear someone say you’ve made their day.
You just love making other people feel good!
18. You always take the blame and give credit to others.
Even if you're the only one who does any work, you're quick to pass the credit onto someone else.
19. You feel like no one understands the “real you.”
I mean, being an INFP can be kind of difficult to understand...
20. You are terrified to show others your creative projects even though they’re typically amazing.
You have talent. Stop hiding it. Your poems, your paintings, your songs - they're all amazing.
21. You’re pretty clumsy.
You trip over your own feet quite a bit.
22. You’re not the type to party every night.
Don't get me wrong, INFP's like a night out every so often, but we're completely okay spending Saturday nights snuggled in bed with Netflix.
