Childhood memories edition
>Did you guys have a lot of friends ?
>Did you have Gf's ? how many ?
>What was your dream job ?
>>29253339
I was actually pretty alpha up until 15, had a decent amount of friends and 5 gfs in total. Then shit happened in my family and I got depressed and withdrew from everything. Now I'm as robot-y as they come. I don't even remember my dream job, I seem to have repressed most of my childhood memories actually.
What would you do if you found a wallet with a few hundred dollars in it and an id and no one would ever know you found it unless you told them?
Always had a lot of friends, dream job a musician , only had one girlfriend which was recently but I'm too sensitive and can't handle that shit when a girl inevitably fucks me over
>>29253530
If I didn't really need them I would honestly return it. If it happened today, I would stash that shit in a heartbeat.
I was alpha as fuck until third grade.
Then I switched schools from an international one to a local, German one, and the combination of not knowing the language well and not knowing anyone got me bullied for a while.
Became friends with the bullies and had a ton of bros, though.
That being said, no girl ever treated me well after changing schools, and I spent 4-6th grade getting shit on every single day by the grills so my confidence is pretty much dead.
>>29253339
>Did you guys have a lot of friends ?
Typical bookworm loner who only had "friends" because I did well academically (and that somehow gave me a bit of respect) throughout elementary and middle school. I did make some online friends in middle school. Through some miracle, made one close friend in high school, and once I have even one friend, pretty much everyone else becomes unimportant background NPCs.
If I have just one solid friend in the world, nothing else really matters, fuck being popular or something.
>Did you have Gf's ? how many ?
Haha no. I have had long-term crushes, but never had the confidence to do anything about it. Also I became very conscious of how temporary and hormonal and socially-driven young love/relationships were, so I avoided it. I probably take the idea of relationships much too seriously.
>What was your dream job ?
As a kid, an explorer - kind of like a mix between Indiana Jones and David Attenborough.
As a preteen/early teens, a writer.
>>29253530
I'm poorfag, but also feel guilt over the smallest things.
I would take $100-200 and hand the rest in.
>>29253530
I found a wallet once it had something like 50 dollars in it and some coins
Me and my friends were in an arcade and of course we didn't had any coins left but as a INFP faggot instead of using the coins i gave it back to it's owner he was asking the cashier if someone has found his wallet
He thanked us and gave us 15 dollars
>>29253530
I would take all of the cash and see if I can extract resources from any other part of it. It's shitty, but I need drug money. That's the way she goes.
>Did you guys have a lot of friends ?
I've always had a tight small group of about 3-4 ever since kindergarten.
>Did you have Gf's ? how many ?
I've had one girlfriend, whom I couldn't force myself to fuck. Turns out I'm a gayfag.
>What was your dream job ?
Something with the arts or teaching. Going to school to become a professor right now.
>>29253339

It's because this pic is pretty good
Thanks for making it famalam
>>29254056
No idea what makes it so good, but you're welcome
How common is it for INFPs to do drugs/alcohol to dull the feels?
>>29254176
Very common it seems like. Infp's need an escape from reality so drugs are obviously the best solution
>>29254176
I, and every INFP I know has done so at some point in their life. This is just anecdotal obviously, so who knows.
Dont die on me famalalama
Who went to college but works in wageshit labor job because they are too scared for a professional one?
INFPs what do you think is your true purpose? Ignoring any kind of practicality or realism. What were you designed for?
>>29253530
I'll have a cursory glance at the ID and if I see a nice person in the picture, I might hand it in. If I find anything of sentimental value in the wallet, then I'll probably hand it in too.
>>29256385

INFP reporting
>Did you guys have a lot of friends ?
Nope, always been near-invisible
>Did you have Gf's ? how many ?
None
>What was your dream job ?
I wanted to be an "adventurer"
Basically, travel the world, see new things, bring joy to peoples' lives by solving their problems, then move on to the next amazing place
How pre-adolescent me thought this could become a reality is beyond me.
The INFP life is a constant cycle of self-sabotage and self-defeat, trapped in the echo chamber of your own destructive mind. It never ends, and any period of peace or happiness will always be fleeting, no matter no circumstance.
>>29254176
functioning alcholic
psychedelics are beautiful infp experiences.
>Did you guys have a lot of friends ?
have a tight core of about 5 and 1 person i make into a confidant
>Did you have Gf's ? how many ?
only 2 really. first one was drawn to a sardonic view of depression and suicide in edgemode. longterm one blew up recently, and we were only together for so long because of mutual codependency.
>What was your dream job ?
what the fuck is ambition?

>>29256962
I hate you fags. Give me a gun and I'd excel at being an INFP bounty-hunter. I'd scour the planet for you fucks and put each and every one of you out of your misery.
>>29257426
see if you can't borrow that guys tokarev's and follow in his footsteps
>>29253530
A few hundred dollars isn't worth stealing, I'd give it back, who knows, maybe the guy who lost it is in dire need of that money.
>>29253946
Dem opiates tho
They always help, and I've been experimenting with mdma lately.
I like it much better alone, I feel close to God. No lonely feels, with opes I'm chemically content, but still sad I don't have anyone to hold while I nod.
>>29253530
It would be really difficult, but I would return it because I feel like it would be the right thing to do. I would probably regret it later.
TFW ENFP
lol fags
>>29256962
So like kino's journey?
>Did you guys have a lot of friends ?
I have a small group of really close friends.
>Did you have Gf's ? how many ?
Yes. A couple, though I haven't had a gf in years.
>What was your dream job ?
Something where I can travel or involving handling computers by myself or with a small group of people.
>>29257576
Your first three words gave me a huge shit eating grin. I love these things too much. I shouldn't start doing them again, but I probably will.
>>29253339
Friends
>3-4 years old, bullied, no friends in school (Had a friend outside school)
>5-11 years old, Had a group of 5-6 friends who we all played together with in school, had a group of 2-3 friends outside of school.
>Years later I'm I was told that I was part of the "Popular kids" group at school. I didn't even realise it.
>11-15 years old, lost friends from primary school as I entered secondary school, kept some friends, overall had about 7-11 friends, some from the "Popular group", some from elsewhere.
GF's
Not sure if you'd count a gf at 11 years old a gf, but that's what happened,
>Got GF in school at 11 years old
>Probably the cause of me becoming a robot
>Constant anxiety
>She left me to be with "Jamie"
>Fuck Jamie
>Jamie rejected her
>Tried to get back with me
>I rejected her
We were all 11 years old when this happened.
>Had a crush with some other girl
>Literal "Next door girl" person
>Was 14-15 years old
>Rejected her since I didn't believe she liked me due to my crippling anxiety.
My biggest regret of my life.
Dream Job:
>Wanted to be a VET, I liked animals
>Realized I didn't want to constantly see sick animals for a job
Dream Job:
>Wanted to be a game designer/programmer
Now I do something very similar to this, so it's almost perfect.
>>29257340
I knew an infp alcoholic. She would drink vodka straight out of the bottle. She was a magnet for bad things happening to her but I think she actually seeked out the trouble on purpose. She enjoyed it in some perverse way and the attention that came with it.
>>29257791
welp
that's a little close to home
a deeply emotional crisis that ultimately reinforced that she was a bad person who deserved it but in spite of that still had people who cared for her and could eventually recover from the situation?
>>29254176
I've been drinking a lot more lately than I ever have before and now crave coke when before I hardly liked it. Smoke less cause I get very strong paranoia and self loathing (that's what I get for abusing it for 6 years like a retard) and want more nicotine and alcohol. I want drugs that aren't weed right now cause it's not helping like it used to and is one of the only things that motivate me to get a job or start selling art for scraps. Especially anti anxiety meds, I think they would help me out a lot. I know they can fuck you up in the long run, I don't care, I want to function normally now cause my future will be fucked anyway if I can barely function outside of my room.
>was intp
>got gf
>became infp
???
>>29257965
You started to be effected by your own feelings after getting a GF, sounds pretty normal.
>>29257934
weed has always made me unbearably anxious and paranoid.
>>29257965
you just became a bitch.
>>29257911
I'm not quite sure what her mentality was but that sounds right. To me it seemed like "look at what a trainwreck I am come take pity on me".
>Did you guys have a lot of friends ?
I had a few friends in secondary school (britbong equivalent of high school) but I stopped talking to them when they decided to be scene/emo. They started hanging out with this cunt that liked to make fun of poor chavs for the fuck of it but my friends didn't mind because she had piercings, dyed hair, etc. Haven't made any new friends since.
>Did you have Gf's ? how many ?
I'm a 25yo HHKV
>What was your dream job ?
Scientist. Now I'm seeing if I can become a scientific programmer.
>>29258079
Yeah. That might be getting into personality disorder territory not just >tfw infp.
She drag you into her bullshit much or did you watch from the sidelines?
>>29253530
>mfw i lost my wallet
>not in my house
>it's probably stolen
So many feels attached to that thing. My mom got it for me as a 10th birthday present, used it nonstop since then. All of my old nostalgia receipts from trips I went on, my BSA shit, my fucking letter never sent to my 8th grade oneitis.
There was no money in it but bank cards I nixed a day later.
This happened two or three weeks ago and I'm still depressed.
>>29258251
Think she had PTSD and BPD. But the chances of an INFP being able to give that to themselves due to their sensitivity is probably pretty good.
It was my ISTJ friend who was seeing her so I was mostly on the sidelines. She dragged him into her bullshit though.
>>29253530
In a wallet, I'd probably try and return it. Any lost money by itself is fair game though.
>>29253339
No
Some long distance and one that did not separate me by a couple of countries or continents
Digital artist, less realistically a utopian dictator that strives for a nice, lovely and comfy nation.
>>29253530
Guess I would take it for myself, feel guilty for the next few days, at last find excuses in the likes of being too scared and incompetant to return it despite the id. Perhaps I'd change my mind somewhat seeing what the person looks like on the photo and making a guess what kind of a person they are, also depending on the sum and other content that perhaps might be of importance. Were I to instead see someone drop it, immidiate return. Can't tell why, kinda odd. Instead I can tell that I would then feel lost between feeling nice having accomplished a good deed, and not having been concerned with own good instead. I've got a feeling though, that now I'd more likely take it for myself, too bitter, cold or aloof as of late.
>>29258051
The anxiety and paranoia was normal and easy to handle but the self loathing, shit. I have the worst thoughts about myself and criticize everything from what I did/said/body language/facial expressions I made throughout the day, just everything. Get intrusive thoughts and cringe, awful, why-the-fuck-did-I-do-that memories from any point in my life, even if it was a few hours ago. Never used to happen before and I remember reading some older anon's posts on 420chan years ago warning about this but thought "nah, that could never happen to me~" but was so very wrong.
Any INFP's have the problem of enjoying dreaming so much you can never get off your ass to work and achieve said dreams? I think I'm just lazy lol
>>29259174
Yeah, like in terms of writing, it's so much easier to imagine it in your head then it is to put in on a page. Maybe it's just that I'm a shit writer so I constantly struggle at it. But I wish could get myself to work at it more.
>>29259174
I was just about to ask this.
I spend hours making these elaborate plots where I become a martyr for a big cause or a God or something. A lot of the time I just sit around for hours doing this to the point that my real dreams continue on from what I was daydreaming about.
I get so much out of it, I feel so much better until I have to deal with reality and basically I kinda suck irl. I've never told anyone about this now, I realize as I type this.
Reporting in, I've got a bunch of """ friends""" but none I can really sympathize with. Never got a gf, but landed a one night stand with a 3/10 about 2 years ago. I always wanted to repair computers, I've loved fixing the small stuff like uninstalling useless crap and sorting out of place files but things such as buying replacement parts and keeping up with orders always scared me so I never bothered. Maybe when I turn 40, after working in my dead end job, I'll set up shop in a smaller city and help repair computers.
Is he a fellow INFP?
>>29253530
take it for myself because that fuck that found my wallet never returned it. The world owes me about $200
>>29259174
It's about 75% day dreaming and 25% putting in some hours at it at least every 2-3 weeks. Everytime I dream this inner anon-like voice crashes into it by stating strongly
>YOU'LL NEVER GET THERE BY BEING A LITTLE BABY BACK BITCH ALL DAY EVERYDAY, FUCKING LOSER
I notice allot of infp's were popular in high school but something happened and then they have no friends at all, at least in my case and some other anons. What if infp curse is just depression and a longing for a past life we can never have, that puts us in a dreamlike state so we don't have to deal with our increasingly stressful self dependant lives?
>>29253339
>Did you guys have a lot of friends ?
Well,not "a lot" but i had a few friends.
>Did you have Gf's ? how many ?
no gfs
>What was your dream job ?
the paleontologist,i think
I had people I called 'friends'. I was such a fool. I don't like remembering them or what little I remember, they surely never thought about me at any point.
No girlfriends. No dream jobs.
I had one friend in middle school but no friends in high school. There was this other friendless loser that followed me around and sat with me in some classes but I always ignored him, I can't even remember his name.
No.
I think I wanted to be a writer or a lawyer.
>Did you guys have a lot of friends ?
In a good year, i'd have around 3. but that stopped around 9th grade

I'm in recovery too at a sober house in PA. Shit gets better man, I'm about to have 6 months on the 24th. Still having a hard time socializing sober but this isn't my first time trying to get sobes. Get involved in your program of choice, easy way to have people support you. Most people in AA around here are too normie for my taste and don't really "get" me but that's ok, let your program and selflessness drive your own perception of yourself. Being INFP, while we fault in being a bit anti social and up in the clouds, the key is to not judge ourselves. Find hobbies you can do alone, I ride my bike and explore and I'm a musician so I can record. I used to just compare myself to everyone else around me but the longer I stay sober and on the right path, the more God puts the right peeps in my life. Feels good man
who else here is /hoarding/?
I have tons of boxes full things from my childhood and I can't brig myself to throw them away because of the feelings and memories attached to them
>>29264786
Same here but i never thought about throwing them away
>>29264811
Well I did't either but my family did
It caused a lot of childhood trauma for me. Fighting for things so mom wouldn't throw them away or persuading father not to get rid of that couch that has been there my entire life.
I have literally no childhood memories. I have no memory of anything earlier than 13 or so. 27 now.
I don't know why. If I had to guess I'd say one of the plethora of medications that was thrown at me in my teenage years caused some irreparable damage, but that's just speculation.
I've been told I was a happy kid, and it was only around puberty that I turned into an anxious miserable wreck. I don't have any happy memories.

INFPs tend to romanticize their partners. Which is ironically bad. We tend to imagine them as these wonderful beings and never want to stop expressing our love for them, and no chick wants that from a guy.
As for chicks who do that, if you don't act like how they'd imagine you would, they'll probably be a bit disillusioned.

>Did you guys have a lot of friends ?
In elementary school I had very few because my social skills were abysmal. I started to have more towards middle school when I started partaking in activities outside of school, where I would have one close friend who would introduce me to the friends he knew and I would gain connections through that manner. I would also get picked on quite a bit from my lack of social skills; I was just kind of the annoying sperg, even my friends would agree that I was kind of a pest. Once high school came around, I started to lose contact with the old friends I had. Around junior year I decided to make an effort in improving my social skills and to hide my power level. I joined choir and theater at my school, I became much more likable as a person and got to interact with far more people than I ever did before. For once, I had a pretty sizable group of friends and acquaintances, even the people I knew from middle school who didn't like me very much befriended me.
I've been out of school for a year now and haven't been able to see any friends because I'm a depressed NEET.
>Did you have Gf's ? how many ?
None. It was dealing with too many other things regarding social development to be concerned with it, so I never tried.
>What was your dream job ?
I never had any one in particular. I've always been sort of envious of those who had their one dream job and stuck with it until graduation. It varied from things like being an astronaut, architect, athlete. Music became a big interest for me when I started producing going into high school and joined choir and theater later on. I always had a love for music and art in general, but those things acted as sort of a catalyst to where it became my main focus.
>>29269362
pretty much what Im going through.
currently seeing a career councilor in order to wrap my head around what I want to do with my life.
but I cant help but feel like im gonna end up homeless.
so basically the only thing combating it right now is the promise that I'll kill for money if it gets that serious.

ENTP here, but I'll answer anyway cause I'm a nice guy.
>Did you guys have a lot of friends ?
Lots of acquaintances that would and still invite me over for drinks. About 3 close friends.
>Did you have Gf's ? how many ?
One. Never got to fuck her either. I'm still a virgin to this day.
>What was your dream job ?
Varied between cop and taxi driver. Today I want to be a politician or lawyer.
my parents decided to homeschool me, it ruined my socials skills. I have 0 friends. I can't connect with other guys, I can't comprehend it. I can hook up with girls though, it's so empty.
I have had multiple gfs because of decent looks and manipulative personality
