What is the most important breakthrough you had regarding finding your path? Share below!👇

Being an INFP feels like playing life on hard mode XD

"Even if you go to the wrong path, it will get you closer to the right path" Thanks, I needed that❤

INFP aged 54 and I've finally found my true path. I've been training to become a therapist for a few months and finally found my vocation. It's never too late.

"Don't think about what the world wants, what your PARENTS want, what your peers want. So just focus on what you want" Damn that hits me hard

You can’t figure out things by just thinking, you have to experience them.

Michael Simone, after hearing your life story, i can confirm that we went through very similar ups and downs, and the same subsequent relevation at each milestone: 1. Started early stages of life being really good at math and science, and unusually good at English/language. - Check 2. Being a jack of many trades and therefore unable to decide what career to aim for. - Check 3. Socially-pressured to enter the STEM field cus that's what our communities wanted and expected of us. - Check 4. Engineering. (You were in mech eng, i was in chem eng. I guess we both figured that of all the STEM majors, BEng offered the most creative options.) - Check 5. Becoming slowly disillusioned during and post-college with the dawning realization of how wrong we were. - Check 6. Going into the actual industry, and winding up in a soulless, depressing job. Waking up one day in a cold sweat asking yourself "****, is this what i really want to do for the rest of my life?" - Big Fat Check 7. Quitting Engineering. Going on a spree of exploration for what feels like the first time ever, bilaterally probing within and outside the self for what that ultimate dream career could be. - Check 8. Actually contemplating/going back to university - Check. 9. Realizing that another 4-5 yrs for a 2nd degree is a waste of time and money. Took a fast-course instead (you as a therapist, i as a digital artist). - Check 10. Finding it to be a craft that you cared wholeheartedly about, and deciding to devote yourself to it for the rest of time. You found psychology, and i found digital art, both avenues of which allowed us to explore and create value indefinitely - and proceeded to make careers out of it. // I think for INFPs, life is one big process of elimination. Becus we are so deeply experiential, we HAVE to go thru trial-and-error, it is absolutely crucial that we try and fail repeatedly so that we can gain breaking, life-changing insights each time we do so. Additionally, we are cursed with having an internal reality that is abnormally blended with external reality, and thus defend our principles fearlessly but foolishly, and take all our failures extremely personally - which is a real pain to be sure, but it's also leads us to become individuals who can relate to and want to create positive change on an impossible scale. We're mad. No one else will ever get us. And therefore, the greatest challenge for INFPs might not actually be the attainment of our goals, but the attainment of peace within ourselves, that we may never get our ideals out into the world, or even be understood by the world, and that's okay.

This video is Soooo important.. this is the biggest struggle for INFPs right? I`d love to have all those carreers.. Musician, teacher, psychologist.. I have been to university for 3 times, but felt miserable.. So now I work at a,supermarket, but I love it, I love the customers and team work!

I think the most painful part of choosing a career is when you have dreams of your own and have a clear path for you to take but your parents (or maybe other people) wanted something different from you and you were not even given a chance to pursue what you want.

Thank you so much, merci beaucoup! I take away from it: 1. Focus on what YOU want. 2. Experience it to find out! (Even being on the wrong path eventually leads to the right path.) It feels encouraging being part of this comment section.

After 8 years of working in a sales department for saving money I finally started my new journey as a counselling trainee, and I feel so right every day because everything that I have learnt from this course is so ethically and morally right to me. It also explains lots of things that I struggled with. When the word therapist came out in the video I was like : OMG this is so me.

Take it from an INFP who did not do what you did and start with a logical career. It might be better to try the conventional way firstly. Stop saying you made a mistake, you needed this experience to realise what is valuable and important to you. I studied Philosophy firstly, and have been working low-paid, low-skill jobs only. People think I am unambitious and lazy. I am now considering to return to study for a "normal" job, and maybe, I will pursue it and eventually accept that it will not suit me. And I will arrive to the same realisation as many of you but even later in life and even more indirectly. I will include a quote by Hegel below (translated to English) that I think is really relevant to those who consider past decisions mistakes and not essential. “The bud disappears when the blossom breaks through, and we might say that the former is refuted by the latter; in the same way when the fruit comes, the blossom may be explained to be a false form of the plant’s existence, for the fruit appears as its true nature in place of the blossom. The ceaseless activity of their own inherent nature makes these stages moments of an organic unity, where they not merely do not contradict one another, but where one is as necessary as the other; and constitutes thereby the life of the whole.”

This video really resonates with me, I'm a 26 year INFP from London. I study maths science and art in school but I've always been more of a creative type but have never had the confidence explore it as a career. This video has confirmed that i need make a change now. Where there any books you read that transform your mindset on living your life for you?

I have 100% the same story. I did my Bachelor in Computer Science. I worked very hard for it and was doubting if it was the right desicion for me all the time. I didn't fit in, and in my free time I didn't do anything related to my studies, but spend my time with theater, dancing and painting. I finished my studies just becuase I didn't know what else to do and somehow I still got a good degree. Now I travelled a bit through Portugal and think a lot about what to do next. I just applied to a master's programm in Cognition Psychology, it applies the logical knowlegde to psychology. Maybe thats also something for you, if you dont want to start from scratch in a completely new field. Anyway, it is nice to hear that there are people struggelling and having the same thoughts as me.

Thanks for this! I'm 57 years old...10 years at University...still trying to find the right fit for me! I ended up deep diving into psychology just to understand myself and relationships and I love it! I'm attracted to spiritual and personal growth, people and what makes them tic. Loving myself these days...allowing missteps in the process.

Great video ^^ I'm an engineering student as well. But I still want to work in that field, 'cause I need to make money for my family. As you said, INFP really enjoy simplicity. So maybe, after I gathered enough money, I will go to countryside near the mountain and living in peace. But it's just a plan for now. Who knows if I will change my mind about that tomorrow hahaha. Let's see what the future will do to me ^^ Hope all my INFP fellas to be happy today

It shows a lot about the INFP personality in all these thoughtful comments. Each person here has so much to say about their experience, and frankly have been starved of platform and outlet in their daily lives. Their tendency to be misunderstood, leads to external demands and averages to eat away to this personality. The recessive NE (extroverted intuition) leads to becoming trapped inside ones own comfort zone; mentally, environmentally, in relationships, etc. because they need to understand their experience, new things are energy expensive to the INFP-T. The T stands for turbulent as opposed to -A as assertive. This turbulence can lead one to be dragged behind a fast-paced society, and becoming highly critical of themselves for this.

So I am an infp And I did psychology I completely hate it It’s very draining mentally and emotionally. It is still all about money, I have to meet KPIs daily as to how many hours of service I provide to people. Some people need more help but don’t have the government funding or money to pay for our service. Day in and out is about dealing with peoples mental issues and problems. Which is not enjoyable at all! And is very very draining. Mentally sick people take their anger out on you! It’s at a point where I don’t care about people or their issues. I just want to be left alone. It’s horrible, absolutely horrible. I would love to do something creative, in solitude Still trying to work it out

I decided on horticulture because I can see myself playing with plants if my art dreams explode in my face. It's also a useful life-skill as far as gardening (heck yeah veggies). In my country, marijuana is legal in a lot of states so there's a lot of farms who need people like me, not to mention the current demand for horticulturalists in government and agriculture as it is. I like plants and I'm excited to breed and play with them all day for a job, no matter where it is. I've been watching these kinds of videos trying to help me decide because I dreaded the idea of an art degree when I can take those classes as electives and I wanted to get a different degree that's far more employable. I desperately need back up plans. My biggest fear was shooting for my dreams and woefully missing the mark and spending my time struggling to find an art job to make someone else's dreams come true; there are a lot of horror stories in the art community that made me even more anxious about an art degree. I didn't want to be mistreated and made to "crunch" 50 hour shifts just to be paid pennies for my efforts. I just decided on horticulture a few days ago after soul searching for over a year and I'm excited for my future again. However, it is a science field so I'm nervous for the coursework but it won't be a bunch of math and that'll be nice lol. Good luck, my fellow INFPs, there is a place for every one of us and I hope you find yours soon. Shoot for your dreams but don't forget to pack a parachute, just in case

Most importantly we need to cultivate a hard mind to support our kind and soft hearts! 💜

😳😳😳😳 I’m five minutes in & this is my EXACT story, except that I was in healthcare admin instead of IT. Just quit my unethical work environment 2 months ago & I really just want to enjoy simplicity & travel. So refreshing & kind of emotional seeing someone else who understands it.

Hi! I can relate to this video on a personal level. I'm 29 and an INFP. I have spent my life going back and forth between careers. I have worked in childcare, veterinary medicine, welfare, and banking - they were all so unfulfilling. I was also good at science in high school, so I initially went to school for quantum physics. Although it was interesting, I couldn't imagine sitting in an office while creating mathematical equations to try to create a new theory day in and day out. I love European medieval history, but I always received negative comments about going to school for that. As if "just being a teacher" with that degree was a low when I had the potential to "do so much more" (insert eye roll here). I ended up quitting university, had a child, and worked various jobs while trying to find meaning or fulfillment behind them. But now Covid is here and with everything being shut down, I had a lot of time to think. This thinking made me feel as though it was time to get back to school. So, I'm back in school and working on my Bachelors in European medieval history, while on the track for the Master's program to teach higher education. Teaching is something I have always wanted to do and to have the ability to share my knowledge with others is something I'm looking forward to. Your video inspired me to keep going, even though friends and family think an education in history is pointless. Thank you!

My way looks the same until now. I am very good in physics, mathematics and chemistry, but also love being creative. I love drawing and playing the piano. I am doing my A levels ( in Germany Abitur) this year and after that I want to study physics. But I also was standing in front of the problem to agree my job and my values. My plan is to go into regenerative energies, to do something good for the climate. I want to give the society something back. When I am dying I want leave something over my death behind. I also like Art, Psychology and Music. But I hope to stay on my actual path. One goal is also to make a road trip trough the USA (I am living in Germany) for one year. But I am not old enough to rent a car, so I am waiting.

I’m an INFP-T too and I could relate to this video and so many of the comments here! I feel like it’s so hard to know what my passion is because so many things interest me. But I’m not sure I’ll stick with one thing for the rest of my life because I’d like a change at some point or many points in the future. I thought about being a psychologist but my issue is that I feel drained after talking to people and if I do this a as my main job, I’m afraid I’ll feel very exhausted everyday. However I’m basing this on conversations I’ve had with people who are incorrigible and don’t listen and keep playing the victim all the time. So I don’t know what to do.

That is so true about trying to figure out what is right by thinking/feeling about it rather than experiencing it. My career path has been very varied. I am now becoming an art educator, and confident this aligns with my values and gives me a sense of purpose. Hopefully I can guide all those INFP (and other) art students to be true to themselves and just go for it!

My writing is probably the biggest thing for me that I have discovered. I am very natural at it and it feels really good to write. I am also interested in counseling. I have a strong ability to listen to people and I enjoy listening to people, I love psychology and I love people and I feel that counseling would be a good career. Right now I am trying tutoring but it seems more like a teacher and I feel like it is over my head right now. I still feel like I need to explore this to see if this a good fit for me. I have never been a teacher before so its new.

My goal is to not have to work so I am selling out and becoming a medical professional with minimal education and high pay. Long term goal is to invest my money and retire early so I can become an inventor, filmmaker, and/or entrepreneur. Maybe join local government and volunteer as well. I just want to do things that make me happy.

The Art world is a very competetive place and can be a quite hostile environment, extremly stressful for INFPs. It's Hypercapitalism. It doesn´t comply with a lot of values of INFPs at least not for me. The creative part yes but not the socialising /performative part that allows you to sell your art. The Art world is not about authenticity. The art you make might but the rest is not. I found that really frustrating. I think it is important to be aware of that.

Merci beaucoup tes vidéos vont probablement m'aider ! J'ai terminé ma licence de biologie (3 ans), mais je ne suis toujours pas sûre et n'ai jamais été sûre de ce que je voulais vraiment. Le côté musicienne / psychologiste je m'y suis bien reconnue. J'ai dû faire le choix en entrant en 1ère entre littéraire et scientifique, j'ai énormément hésité et j'ai suivi la voie la plus "confortable" et logique du point de vue des gens qui m'entouraient. Il m'arrive souvent de regretter ce choix, c'est tellement tôt pour déjà savoir ce qu'on voudra faire plus tard ! Je me reconnais complètement dans tes vidéos pour la personnalité INFP, merci pour le partage de tes recherches ! Et grâce à ton léger accent français j'arrive à tout comprendre haha !

I’m an INFP as well. I just finish college and your video helps a lot!!

As an INFP, this is where I'm at now. I currently dropped out at my current course and now I am really struggling and getting frustated in what kind of degree/course should I really take, that's why I am learning more about myself and discovering mbti really helped me alot especially your video about INFP's career. Thank you so so much for being kind and telling us your experience

Great video, I felt like I was lost and this video helps me to understand many things. Thank you for sharing bro.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and this video!

Wow thank you for this. I’m an accountant switching to social work and I needed this validation

Thank you for sharing! Excellent advice!

This is such a wonderful video 🤗 everything was spot on. Including the change to therapy/counseling. Thank you so much for your work. Subscribed 😁

I had almost the same experience.. I had good grades in school I have done engineering like every body else I suffered in that but when I've graduated I spent two years in finding out what I realy wanted so I have chosed teaching I'm a teacher now.. I'm happy with it..the one problem is that I'm different with my methods and my thoughts people don't easily understand me and I always want that everything is well done

I've been struggling lately with my career path and thank God I watched this. Thank you so much for sharing your story.

This music playing in the background is typical chillin music for INFPs:) Thank you, Michael!

Thank you very much for doing this video. I really resonated wit it, probably because I'm a 3rd year Electronics engineering student now, and I also experienced aiming for a "good job, good salary....etc". I'm gonna be honest, whenever I accomplish something in this path, I am happy but it doesn't really last long. It's like just a sigh of relief because I survived and didn't fail, not because I'm happy and I worked hard for it. I had dreams of my own but my parents won't support me so I was kinda forced to pursue this. I think what keeps me motivated by now is similar to what you said that even if I committed a mistake and took the wrong path, it will me closer to the right path. I really hope that the future me would be happy and enjoy what she's doing in her life because how are things now don't sit well with me even though the cards I have rn ain't really bad.

This is another great piece for me. My story is somewhat similar to yours. I hope I will soon be settled in the most appropriate career.

Love that you have figured it out!

Thank for sharing this video! Being a INFP is tough and we always struggle to fit in the society’s rules, try to follow up what teachers and parents say. After watching this video , I have learned a lot how to strive in this world. Thank you for sharing your own story and give us advice. Hope every INFP can be loved by the world and the same ourselves.

Loved it Michael! Thanks,

This video felt like me listening back to a recording of myself, so very similar for me, although I'm still early in that journey, only now realising I dont like what I do and it doesn't align with my values. Thanks for the inspiration

Thank you so much Michael, this really helps! :)

I'm a bit late, but this is incredibly helpful. I too am an INFP. I recently gave notice at my current job so may find myself unemployed soon. I find the corporate world to be a constant struggle. I still don't know what I want to do with my life, but feel that I've learnt a lot about myself through my life experiences and hope to be one step closer to following the ideal career path. It's awesome to be able to connect with like-minded individuals. Thank you for the content.

Really helpful brother! Really can connect and resonate with you ❤

Merci pour cette vidéo J'ai beau savoir au fond de moi ce qui est juste (pour moi), en entendre la validation reste très apaisant.. Merci pour tout ces conseils et le partage de ton expérience

thanks for sharing your story; i'm also INFP (i've just found it out recently), and i've been really struggling with accounting career because all the companies I'm working for are profit oriented and don't give a sh* about people, and I have to follow too many rules & deadlines almost every day. I was good in math, had As in school and uni, loved economics, but due to poverty had to choose accounting major because it allowed me to get good paying job right away.

That was so helpful for me. Thank you ☁️

1st thousand like☺️ that was really helpful, thx for sharing that!

This video was uploaded on my birthday, and now coming back to this, I feel like I am getting closer and closer to the right track. Thank you so much for the advice!

OMG thank you so much or articulating what I went through in my life!

Been watching your videos... all the topics u have been uploading are quite relevant to where I am. Thanks for making these videos. Keep it up!

Analysis paralysis. Be careful of it. Good advice to just get out and try it, test the waters before feeling like it’s right. Otherwise you may not get anywhere.

Thanks for sharing! I went through very similar processes and it's good to hear about the experiences of another INFP :)

It was very useful Michael . Thanks

Good for you my friend I did 2 years in the preparatory school the I became an electronic engineer but I'm not happy and I'm infp currently searching for passion you are helping a lot thank you thank you thank you from the depths of my heart

I should stop reading the comments and focus on the vid more lol

Great video!

THANK YOU! I'm 17 years old and I'm definitely confused about what to do in my future and I should choose what career path will I continue with and it's really difficult specially when I'm good at maths and logical sciences but my personality indicates I better go for other career paths and I'm pressured to make my decision now. And then I came across your video and it is like light for me so thank you a looooot for sharing your experience it's very helpful and I hope you do more videos like these!🙏❤

Thank you very much, Michael. Greetings from Germany!

I'm brasilian, and I have 16. I love your channel, you help me a lot!! Thank tou so much, and i hope tou kepping doing your beautiful job. (Sorry for my bad english)

Sooo many parallels with my life! I can relate to it all :)

Great video! Your perspective is great. As I am an infp myself. I'm very interested in self development, psychology and teaching :)

Very useful. Thanks for the video.

I like your turquoise wall, nice choice!

Thanks you for this video, it really helps. I'm a lost INFP

Thank you! This video inspired me

thank you so much for this❤️❤️❤️

Merci beaucoup ! Je suis également passée par la phase prépa, hésité entre info et mécanique, choisi info et je dois finir mes études cette année. Je sens que mon futur ressemblera à ton expérience, donc merci des conseils !

Holala! Je tombe au bon moment sur ta vidéo, tu retraces toutes mes pensées du moment, j’ai l’impression que c’est moi qui s’exprime. Merci pour ton expérience 🙏🏽❤️

Hello Michael! This video resonated so much with me!! Although I've never been exceptionally good at Math and Science, I always knew I had a knack for languages and that's what I decided to pursue. I've enjoyed most aspects of it but if I could change what I did at university, I would add in something like Management or maybe Economics or idk, something a bit more "useful" (I majored in Latin American Studies). Anyway, I taught English to non English speakers (including in France ! When I heard your accent it made me smile....I love Toulouse ❤️) but now I am just burned out from teaching. I'm currently doing some studies in Human Resource Management but I'm really worried I made a wrong decision because where I live, it's a really small Caribbean island so the market is saturated and I'm here again, feeling very depressed about the future etc. Sighs! Unfortunately, I'm still trying to figure out what's the best option for me, only knowing what isn't for me but never quite figuring out what career does resonate with me. I suppose I need to do some deeper digging. Anyway, sorry for the really long message ! I'm sorry that I only just saw this video as well! It would've helped me so much back when the pandemic was just hitting and I was returning from my very last teaching stint in Spain. For now, I have a job that pays the bills but I know I need to leave soon!

Great video, very interesting!

Very inspiring story :)

after listening to your story i got inspired and i am now i will emphasize on my dreams and what i feel i am of 17 now and was thinking to choose a career which my parents wants thanks!

Thank you for this video Michael it's really helpful!

Thank you for the insight 😊 great video, very informative, insightful and helpful! I’m an INFP and have struggled with finding the ideal career. However, the things you mentioned in your video such as helping others, time for introspection, working one on one, etc I find to be true and can relate to it. If only high schools would devote more time to helping students figure their type out and what would naturally suit best in terms of career as well as individual counseling for each student. I think something like that would have spared me the last 11 years of mistakes since high school :( I’m still stuck though with wanting to earn a decent salary. I would be happy to be a therapist or psychologist but it seems like quite a bit of money to pursue education and starting salary’s aren’t great. What do you think about being a Psych Nurse Practitioner? I thought I read some where that Psych Nurse Practitioners can legally provide some therapy in addition to addressing the medical needs of people. Thoughts?

Thank you for sharing your story. I really appreciate your advice.

Thanks for this helpful video !

As an infp i entered trying civil engineering but with the starting of classes i just felt off n my mind didnt seem motivated. So i planned to stop before i go to lengthy years of studying but wont feel happy on what id be doing. N now i still feel bad cause i seem to be lost i really want to do art n at the same time help the people. It also sucks to be an asian at some point because of the the peer pressure of entering into a must of entering a high paying job.

my chest hurts because of how much i relate to your journey

Thanks... I really need this video...

Hey, I love your content. I'm currently on similar journey. INFP too!

Très utile oui et très bons conseils ! Effectivement j’aurais voulu entendre cela plus tôt... mais est ce que je l’aurais aussi bien compris sans avoir fait l’expérience du contraire 🤔 en tout cas j’apprécie énormément tes contenus et je me reconnais trooop... c’est flippant 😅 Je suis en reconversion et dans le développement personnel aussi. Tu as parlé de communauté et si jamais t’es curieux, il y a une coach Infp, Laura Nathalie que j’aime bien. Elle a un groupe Fb qui rassemblent de nombreux Infp (les Badass créatifs et secrètement ambitieux). C’est cool ce que tu fais 🤜🤛 Bonne continuation 😉

Thank you a lot for the advices❤️ your life path is surely rich and I'm happy to hear that you are finally exploring yourself! I'm in a similar situation...but I'm in the first year of high school :) i know we choose courses next year but i can't stop thinking about the right professional choice...i get good grades and i study a lot in both courses (maths, science ans human studies for ex history, language etc) however i don't seem to fit in. I like writing, philosophy and of course whatever has to do with art! Though i can't say that I'm soo talented in painting and they disencourage me from going to an ary school for practical reasons... The thing is I know what i like bur i can't really think of an ideal profession because apparently there is no 😅. I'm also interested in understanding human behaviour and i value human moralities. I'm thinking of attending a multicultural school (which i have to pass an interview and sth like an examination to get into) because it may bring md closer to the ideal. However I'm in a really bad place with my mental health... I even go to a phycologist amd I'm sure i will find it unbearable to go to a foreign country and leave everything behind at 16... I'm sorry for the long talk 😅 it's just that I'm so lost and drained from all this thoughts. Again thanks for the video! Good luck with your new plan :) may you accomplish your dreams! Take care everyone ❤️

oh I'm also an infp therapist -- cool!

This was very insightful, thank you!! Glad you found the thing you love, it is so important for us. I'm 29 and thinking about going back to University to get a teaching degree (I want to teach my mother tongue German to foreigners), because I came to the same conclusion as you, that I want to do something that helps people and is aligned with my values. I've always been interested in learning languages myself and helping others learn, so I feel like teaching German could be the right path for me.

Never have seen like/dislike ratio 400:1 Congratulations and thank you so .much for sharing your thoughts👍👏🙏

Thank you for this video.

thank you. this really helped.

Thank you I have times of depersonalization and you help me a lot :) ( I am Polish so sorry for mistakes if I made )

Thank you for making this video. It's really inspiring and reassuring, and it gave me hope... Namely, I am a third year pharmacy student (INFP, of course) and I want to quit it, because I really don't want to work in a retail pharmacy (where most end up) and I don't think anymore that I would like to work in the industry either, even though I find the science interesting and I like understanding it, I have come to realize that beyond just feeling good about myself for understanding it, I don't really feel like doing anything concrete with it... Besides, I think that patients don't deserve someone dispassionate about the job providing them service... Anyway, right now I am thinking of starting over and this time pursuing either English (as a second language) psychology (I think I would enjoy being a child psychologist especially, but either way I would be fine), directing (as a theater director) or switching to chemistry, where maybe I would have to start over (but I don't think I would enjoy it as much as the other stuff listed, only maybe if I took the environmental path, or the teacher path)... The only thing I know for sure, and which doesn't need a degree, is that I want to be a writer and I want to get good at writing plays and hopefully someday see them on stage... For this reason I think maybe the most sensible thing would be to get a degree in directing, but, when is it ever sensible to into theater? ...If anyone has advice, I would very much appreciate it 😅

Thank you for this video :)!

While I thought of programming as kinda boring working as a psychologist consumed all the energy I had in my life (and more) for Family, Friends and selfcare. It might be a noble Job but it is clearly not for me even thow there are many people way more introverted than I am. Still recovering from that experience.

INFPs are perrrrrrfecttttt😊😊😊😊😊you are so kind...actually we are soooo kind😁😁😁😁😁😁

Before 2020 I was in a Biology Degree for two years then took a year off because of major depression. I’ve recently started a Psychology degree through 2020/21, still going haha. Anyways, your story brought a little peace to my step if that makes any sense haha. Online school has been killing me and I’m worried I’ve screwed up my whole life. My extended family has always made a point to tell me how dumb I am and that they no longer support me as a person if I am not like making $100 000 a year yet, have a “real” job, am successful etc. I know I’m lucky in my circumstances to be pursuing education, I don’t dismiss that. Was recently searching diplomas (as I do often at stressful times in life haha). I think I’ve been living life so much for others that I forget who I am. I don’t have cohesive thoughts right now. I just hope to please find meaning and come to clarity. I just want a meaningful life and work, which there are many ways to do that haha. Another discussion lol. Anyways what the heck the point is your video was helpful. I’m going to continue. I like how you said a wrong step is even helpful along the way. So long I wished to be just someone who can suck it up and get a job for the pay-check and continue on, I think I pretended to be that for the last few years, but now I’m maybe re-realizing how much I do value work that aligns with me. Hoping to find it along the way. Best wishes to everyone here. I hope your journey becomes lighter and you find encouragement to carry on. I hope we all make it 🙏🏻🤍🤍

Im a vet student. I looked the link and it's the second career for INFP and I know Im in my correct path ❤

Just happened to come upon your video and saw it was for INFPs. Also drawn to your accent so I began to listen to a couple of them. I'm much older and have had many jobs from assembly work( hated so much) to ice cream shop, retail clothing, submarine shop, waitress at BBQ joint, house cleaner, tutoring kids, daycare and finally teaching in elementary and middle school for 20 years and having a family. I'm currently going through a nadir of my life after a traumatic loss of my only son, Michael 6 years ago and moving from one state to another after loss of personal relationship so quite tumultuous and turmoil times. Need my second coming so to speak.round two, a second career. So many points you made really resonated with me about knowing what you like what is meaningful and satisfying and enjoyable but that also helps people..and the world needs. I really enjoyed teaching in the classroom for many many years until I didn't because I disliked the rules regulations and all the stipulations being demanded from district and state legislatures..those Who've never been in the classroom or know anything about childhood development and the joy of lifelong learning...watching a child's eyes light up when they created or learned something that fascinates them. It became so much record keeping and paperwork and structured to where all the teachers per grade level had to meet daily and confer about what they're teaching and having to be on the same lessons or page in math and so on.. The freedom to be creative and be student driven curriculum was taken away and was made more mechanical and as you know classrooms are very unique with their own personalities and different cultures and I happened to usually get all the ELL kids ( English language learners) because of my foreign background and coming to America having to learn the English language. I was better able to relate to them...but I hated having to keep up with the teachers next door. It seemed to get more competitive instead of collaborative. And I felt the testing was crazy much! And not beneficial for the children...they were not as excited about learning anymore. So in effect I felt the values and focus changed in American education system about 2011 in my opinion. Anyway I'm anxious about going back to the "regular" classroom for all the aforementioned reasons and also because everything seems computer/electronic driven and focused and not so much experiential and hands on like it used to be. So I appreciate your grains of wisdom from your experience. Thank you for sharing and I live what you said about trying something instead of just contemplating or thinking about it to really know and that any path you take even if it's the wrong path is better than no path at all because it c can get you closer and lead you to the right path for you...for me for each of us INFPs! I just need to overcome my fears of the unknown and work on my confidence and find my passion again.
