    What goes on inside your head?

    I'm interested in the INFP thinking process, common thoughts, outlook on life, etc.
    So, if you guys aren't too busy writing poems and creating art, I'd love to hear from you.

    Since we both share an "n" and "p", I imagine a lot goes on inside your head too.

    How you look naked.

    No i dont know, sometimes nothing at all, somethings observing my environment, sometimes a topic of interest or a event in my life.
    Random information that comes from no where into line of thought

    Yes, but our functions are quite different. ENTPs have Ne,Ti,Fe,Si in that order. INFPs have Fi,Ne,Si,Te. You think in Feelings, while we think in, uh, Thinking. That's why I'm interested in how you think.

    don't be. It has it's set backs but thinking at 100mph can make for some interesting perceptions on things.

    Incoherent
    abstract
    gibberish
    meandering
    swerving
    shifting
    ideas
    feelings
    which all only make sense in the moment. To have it all make sense a lot of navel-gazing, Te using, and disciplined Ne is needed. If my mind were a canvas it would come out as something expressionist in my most linear and well thought out state, or something abstract in my usual mentally excited state. It's crazy ride of feelings that I somehow can't ever communicate in words(except poetry or abstract prose). It's introverted so only thinking, listening to music, or doing other alone activities sharpen and strengthen it, while being out and about makes it dull.

    I have two sides- the artsy side(the state I'm talking about now), or the philisophical side(the thoughtful, resolute state which I'd have to be in that state to tell you about it). Sorry if that didn't help at all

    I can't tell.

    They sound like very enticing words in the moment but when I try to grasp them later they just waft away like wisps of smoke and all that's left are the vague feelings. The only time what I am thinking makes sense is when I am actively problem solving. I believe this is what is meant by the divide between Ti and Fi.

    For over a year I have tried to resolve my own thinking to no avail. I also write this way, which makes for difficult communication where I slowly eek out a piece and then scrap it as it seems to stop making sense.

    You were both extremely helpful. This explains why my girlfriend always says "nothing" when I ask what she's thinking. Because I could almost always give you few theories and arguments off the top of my head, whether or not we were talking about them.
    PWarren thanked this post.
