Fave Thing About Aromanticism?

Misconceptions of an INFP

1. They are super emotional.

I personally find this to be vague, but I’ve read and heard this a couple times. Just because we make our decisions based on our feelings does not make us “emotional”, at least in the bad sense of the word. Our “logic” can still be logical. Its from a different perspective. Besides, we can be quite cold and unemotional when we want to be or are extremely stressed.

2. They don’t plan.

We may be a P, but that does not mean we don’t plan. It just means we probably don’t have a plan. But when we do plan its about something we deem important enough.

3. They are shy.

I’m not saying I can speak for all INFP , because we do have different background, but I think the word “reserved” is far better used to describe us. We have to think your worth talking to before we do talk to you, when we decide your fine then there probably wont be a problem.

4. They live in their own fantasy world.

Now I find this one funny because, in a way thats true. However, this does not mean we cannot see reality. We know whats going on. However, we would rather believe in an ideal world. We try to make the fantasy a reality. If we don’t, well then we really may just try to live in a fantasy world and shut ourselves off from everyone.

5. They aren’t motivated.

Now I don’t know about you, but I don’t think I’ve ever met an INFP that wasnt motivated to do something. What they are motivated to do or what they are motivated by may look different than what may seem normal, but INFPs always find their passion. Its a part of their “whats my purpose ?” function and they dont truly rest until they find it.

6. They see the best in everyone.

We do see an ideal world and wish to see the best in people. However, we are not blind. We will not sit by while someone does something that goes against our core values. We have a strong inner sense of what is morally correct. Even if we are a bit off or incorrect in our belief, we will feel the injustice of someone going against them. Most likely, we will slowly remove ourselves from being around that person. However, if its injustice towards our close dear ones we will find a way to confront the person.

7. They cry a lot.

I read this somewhere and was surprised. INFPs rarely let other people see them cry. Most likely you will see an INFP cry from frustration before you see them cry from sadness. They dislike showing others their emotion because of their introverted feeling. They would rather remain calm, especially if another person with them is angry or sad.

8. They are emotionally tortured.

I also read this somewhere. It feels weird reading that , but I guess I can see why it may seem that way. If you ever talk to an INFP about personal things, you will see a pattern of them being in situations where they get their heart broken or hurt or even them going through a dark time of their life. However, INFP s are resilient. They can get knocked down quite a bit, but they most likely will always get back up. And they will have learned so much from these experiences that each time they will be smarter and stronger because of it.

Anyway, these are the few I could think of. Thanks for your support! It makes me want to write even more INFP stuff!!

I have eczema, specifically the type called Atopic Dermatitis. If you don't know what those words mean, let me break it down for you: atopic means "denoting a form of allergy in which a hypersensitivity reaction such as dermatitis or asthma may occur in a part of the body not in contact with the allergen" dermatitis means " a condition of the skin in which it becomes red, swollen, and sore, sometimes with small blisters, resulting from direct irritation of the skin by an external agent or an allergic reaction to it"

TL;DR means my skin hyper reacts to something wherever it feels like it

OR put even simpler, my skin gets MAD because of REASONS and then it yells "FUCK YOU" to me

Any other birds, apart from cassowaries, that look like dinos?

thick-billed ravens rank pretty high on the "jesus christ a dinosaur" scale imho

"homosexuality is unnatural! there's only two genders! it's a sin-"

I'm sorry, have you seen NATURE???

and there's so many more species than this that exhibit homosexuality, varying genders, etc. SO! MANY!

it's very much a natural thing. it always has been. unfortunately, while homosexuality is found in many species, homophobia is only found in one

ALSO THE ARTIST IS HUMON, FIND THEM AT HUMONCOMICS.COM!! was so sure I had included that but apparently I forgot, so sorry!

Honestly the biggest disappointment I had researching ABC was that medieval authors did not, in fact, see the creatures they were describing and were trying their best to describe them with their limited knowledge while going “what the fuck… what the fuck…”
