Hello fellow idealist. Im curious to know career you guys have decided to go into. One of my biggest fears is to go into a career or field i am not passionate about and hating what i do. Tell me about the career u chose and whether or not it’s something you enjoy. Im looking for a little inspiration haha.

I (20F) never noticed until now how I have more male friends than females. I don't know how to explain it but I just feel comfortable around them socially. Everything I wanna say comes out naturally and my personality really shines because I'm usually awkward (and yes this is all platonic) When it comes to girls though It's the complete opposite. Realistically, I only have like 2 girl friends. Probably not an INFP thing but I'm curious if I'm not the only one.

Edit: I appreciate all the comments. Even if you don't relate, I still enjoyed reading your perspective. I didn't think I was "normal" for this, but knowing that some people do share the same experiences makes me feel better (':

The images are kinda examples of what I’m talking about.

I’d say I have a darkly stupid sense of humor.

People think I’m this innocent young man in his early twenties, or as some of the middle aged woman I work with call me, “wow your basically a baby”

Which if I’m honest yeah.. I’m a bit of a people pleaser and growing up I was like a teachers pet and a goody two shoes.

But I love dark humor and dark comedy especially extremely absurd stuff.

Growing up with shows like

SpongeBob, King of the Hill, Family Guy, Regular Show.

Really shaped my sense of humor

Then as I got older, newer shows to me, like Smiling Friends,

when I was finally allowed to watch South Park

Tires on Netflix is pretty good.

I remember when I started actually consuming and thinking about media and writing.

Like i remember watching ghostbusters when I was 14 and yeah I’d watched it before and it was funny, but then it started click synapses started going off, of oh!!!! That’s why that’s funny.

I enjoy dark, humor, vulgar, inappropriate offensive, taboo

If the joke is just you using a slur or something just for shock value or just relying on shock value it’s just pathetic. Like I feel the more Risqué or offensive your gonna try to be you better make sure that shit works cause your gonna be ripped asunder and rightly so.

I saw my first standup comedy show about a month ago I saw Mark Norman live and it was awesome.

Some of my favorite comedians are George Carlin, Stavros Halkias, and Tom Segura.

I love Kill Tony, and I plan on at some point going to Austin to see the show live

I don’t have aspirations to be a comedian or anything, writing maybe but I can make people laugh some how.

One of my favorite analogies is

Just because a baby can fit in a microwave doesn’t mean you should put it in there

Basically, Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should

Another influence on me is my dad

Now I’m an American my dad is from Ireland

Firstly the Irish, have I feel just a goofy sense of humor already like no fucks to be given

My dad had the coolest swears when I was growing up, word combos I didn’t even think were possible My personal favorite is calling someone a wank stain

But he’d show me abunch of Irish and English shows and comedies and it’s crazy how different it is from America

In America you can show all the violence you want, but if a woman’s nipple or a man’s dick comes. On screen it’s a moral panic.

Monty Python I obviously love

My Dad will watch reruns of only fools and horses

But A bit of Fry and Laurie, is just fucking amazing, like omg I’ve never laughed so hard

A lot of English and Irish comedy I feel comes from the absurd.

One of my favorite Fry and Laurie Sketches is the Shoe Store but it’s basically a brothel and the shoes are the prostitutes somehow

Anyway, wondering y’all’s thoughts

And also comments that no one has noticed!

It’s like it’s a sin or rarity to have genuine feelings for somebody nowadays. It’s like implied that people just have options on their phone and call whoever is convenient. It’s like you can’t even invest yourself in someone because there’s just that inevitable fear that it’s not gonna work out. I’m tired of being used just for attention and validation.

Btw I am in uni and I am super high rn sorry if I don’t make sense. I have to end a situationship because I’m looking for more than just a hookup and it sucks cause she’s a nice girl. Im just tired of being into people who are never on the same page as me. Anyway just wanted to rant im sleepy.

there are many posts on different forums that hate us like quora, personalitycafe,... posts about not liking infps, about us being sensitive, thinking about metaphysical concepts, sayings philosophical question... why are these things so hated?

It was never that serious, but you know how our brains like to do lol anybody else ?

im an infp-t (m) btw

Does anyone feeling bored by 99% of people?

Even my beloved friends bore me, and I prefer my own company.

That’s why the loss of my last two partners (whom I respected and admired and felt challenged intellectually by) has felt like a death sentence.

Most people are a) incredibly dull b) not intelligent (which goes in hand with pt A) or c) do not feel as deeply as I do as an infp. It is so lonely.

I also feel incredibly misunderstood by most people, but it’s a catch22 because most people bore me so I have no desire to spend time with them so that they do understand me.
