If you have an
INFP
in your life, you might sometimes view them as an exotic, high-strung horse that you don’t quite understand or know how to deal with.
First, remember that we’re not animals, or children, so please don’t try to manage us, humor us, or endeavor to bend us to your will.
What you can do is learn about what makes us tick and become a partner who helps us manage our weaknesses and utilize our strengths. We have a great deal to offer, if you give us the chance to do it in our way.
As an
INFP
, I know that the good and the bad things about our personalities are often just different sides of the same coin. Even the good traits we have can be hard to live with at times, and the parts that may seem negative can be turned into positives when we put our ability to see things differently to good use.
For the
INFP
male, life is a fascinating and challenging journey, filled with learning experiences that promote greater self-understanding and enhance their process of personal development.

If you prefer listening to talking, avoid large crowds, and refuel in solitude, you
