Being constantly receptive...

Being constantly receptive of people's subtle,
subconscious mannerisms and moods.

Laura Stepnowski:
INFP perception: It's like being tuned to a radio frequency that you assume others hear too. But when you ask them, you find out they didn't pick up a thing.

The unexpected adventures...

The unexpected adventures are the best adventures.

INFJ Doodles:
As long as they’re with someone you trust. Planning became much less important to me as I become close to people that are good at winging it.

5 Reasons Why It’s Great To Be INFP

by Amanda Linehan

If you are an INFP, you may often feel as if you are swimming against the current, as if you tend to see the world differently than many other people. And maybe you’ve also wished that you could just “be like everyone else.” Take some time to appreciate your own unique qualities that you possess. And remember what they say (whoever “they” are): it takes all kinds.

INFP and INFJ: Being Alone Together

by philipbullitthughes

All introverts share a common need: time spent alone in order to recharge, reflect, and decompress. So deep is the need in the INFP and INFJ that if neglected, they begin to experience lethargy—a fogging of the mind, if you will.
---
Of course, with personalities so complex as the INFP and INFJ nothing is ever simple. For them, seclusion is a need of peak importance. Unfortunately, so is a need for deep and meaningful relationships. They are often torn between needing to spend time alone, while simultaneously wishing they could be with a friend or loved one.

Nothing compares to...

Nothing compares to a beautiful conversation
with a beautiful mind.

There's no substitute for someone who gets you.

Introvert, Dear:
It's such a good feeling when someone "gets" you!

Advice from an INFP...

Advice from an INFP...
"Learn to be kind to yourself.
If you can't be kind to yourself,
how can you be kind to other people?"

INFJ Doodles:
I find it easier to be forgiving of other people than myself. Yet, intellectually is makes sense to focus on change from within. 

People say I make strange choices...

People say I make strange choices,
but they're not strange for me.
My sickness is that
I'm fascinated by human behavior,
by what's underneath the surface,
by the worlds inside people.

I don't know how to defend my instincts.
I want people to trust them.

INFJ Doodles:
Jonathan (ENFP) was talking about his frustration about being asked for data or asked validate his intuition. He’ll find himself having to sludge through references, getting really drained just to “prove” something he intuitively knew.

Good Friends Make You Feel Sane

Good friends make you feel sane.

INFJ Doodles:
"There’s a sense of soothing when someone knows you and can support you. Hearing how they see you can be very grounding. Whereas people that don’t know you or aren’t healthy for you can make you feel like there’s something wrong with you."

As much as I need Introvert Time...

As much as I need Introvert Time,
I also need People Time,
else I feel isolated and alone.

INFJ Doodles:
"People time" being specifically people I trust, feel emotionally close to, and care about. I don’t need lots of people but making sure I connect with a couple different people keeps me emotionally balance.
