INFPs are often sensitive to the feelings of others, idealistic, loyal, and romantic. So, it's no surprise that they can be excellent partners. But there are three missteps that a number of INFPs make in a relationship. Slow to trust and open up. INFPs who've been burned in previous relationships can be very slow to open up, even if they sincerely care for the other person. Protective of their alone-time and personal space. Most INFPs need lots of time alone to recharge their batteries, and when they feel as though their "me-time" is being invaded, even by a loved one, they can become incredibly cranky. Perfectionist tendencies that sabotage the relationship. A number of INFPs struggle with perfectionism and become overly critical of their efforts. This can lead to an inability to withstand even the slightest of criticism from a loved one. It can also turn into deep feelings of worthlessness, which can sabotage a relationship. Despite these obstacles, an INFP and their partner can strengthen their bond. Open communication and frequent affirmations of love can be a huge help in this regard.

Sometimes INFPs become known as quirky loners. But even the most independent of INFPs would flourish in a loving relationship. So, what exactly does an INFP need in a partner? Here are three qualities that would make for a great match with an INFP: Someone who is grounded in reality. A number of INFPs tend to be creative thinkers who are so focused on their creative endeavors that they may at times forget to clean the house, pay the bills, walk the dog, or do their taxes. So, it can help to have a partner who gently guides them off of their cloud and back down to reality so they can help with the essential chores that are, unfortunately, part of daily life. Someone who is an open-minded confidant. An INFP would typically do well with a partner who is as open-minded and nonjudgmental as they are. This means someone who appreciates the INFP's creativity and is eager to listen to their ideas and take them seriously. Someone who is loyal. An INFP typically needs a partner who appreciates their loyalty and gives the same loyalty in return. I hope this provided you with a few ideas when it comes to INFPs and relationships!

So, they may struggle to figure out whether an INFP has a crush on them or not. In my experience, these four signs indicate that an INFP is most likely romantically interested in you. The INFP frequently seeks you out for private conversations Many INFPs don't like to "bother others with their drama" and fear judgement from people they don't know. So, when an INFP regularly seeks you out for personal chit chat, you're a rarity in their world. You're one of the few people they confide in. So, this frequent initiation of conversation with you on the part of the INFP is an indication that they're drawn to you on a deep level, possibly in a romantic way. When they're around you, they laugh at all your jokes and act childishly goofy A number of INFPs are naturally quite childlike and silly at heart, but they hide these personality quirks behind a mask of gravity. This is often because they fear being criticized for their behavior. So, if an INFP removes their proverbial mask in your presence, this is an indication that they feel safe with you. When an INFP feels safe with someone, it isn't uncommon for them to also develop romantic feelings for that individual. In public, they become unusually shy and avoid you This is an odd one, but trust me, it happens. Your INFP may be bubbly and sweet and even more talkative than you when it's just the two of you, but in public they may go silent, become extremely awkward and act like they can't stand the sight of you. This often happens due to their fear of judgement from other people. They like you so much that they can't control their feelings for you and their afraid other people will pick up on this and judge them. So, they try to control the situation by avoiding it altogether, namely they don't say a word and when possible, make a sneaky exit. So, it's not you they're avoiding, it's criticism from other people that's scaring them off. They lay the TMI on thick When an INFP is around someone they love, they may tell this person EVERYTHING, even things that most personality types would be embarrassed to share. This is because the typically private INFP has finally found someone they feel completely comfortable with, and so they kind of overshare. I hope this article was helpful to you!

Many INFP's are sensitive souls who treat people with a gentleness that they expect in turn. But many aspects of our current cultural climate don't support such a mindset. This is especially true in corporate environments. Generally, ruthless competition is encouraged. So, how can an INFP survive in this sort of job? These two quick tips may help. Establish Boundaries Avoid working overtime unnecessarily and connecting with toxic coworkers on your personal social media accounts or by providing them with your personal phone number. If you must connect on social media for work, create accounts specifically for work. Focus on Real Life There's your job and then there's the real life that your job supports. The job is simply a paycheck to ensure that you can enjoy your real life. So, keep your focus on your real life. This means enjoying time with friends, family, and investing time into your hobbies or side hustle that you hope to eventually use as a major source of income. Essentially, keeping work in it's place by establishing boundaries and focusing on real life can help INFPs survive ruthless corporate environments.
