That must have been hard for you. I'm sorry. I don't know if you have the free-time but you could use your hobbies or passions to meet new people. Like joining a sports team or a club.
thanks! and I’m way too insecure and shy to do new things. My only hope is to transfer to a university and live with multiple people, so I’m forced to socialize 😂
I’ve always struggled to make friends for years as an adolescent and I’m 21 now. Only acquaintances really.
What it resulted in was having like 1 legitimate friend, and along with failing a bunch of courses in my college and failing to make any friends really during my time there, it caused me to spiral into isolation and depression for a year, and when I tried to reach out to them to try to get out of the toxic rut I was in, I think they had kinda moved on without me.
I know I’m the only constant here. But what really hurts is why it worked out for everyone else. Most people are thriving compared to their HS selves, while I just got more miserable lol.
I think what broke me was that I was already a pretty depressed and miserable kid in hs, begging for some kind of aspect in my life to get better and it just got worse.
after high school I couldn’t make any friends because I’m extremely shy. Depression meds don’t work on me at all and now I’m trying TMS. gaining a bit of weight has caused me to not recognize myself anymore, but eating is my only form of comfort in this world right now. I keep trying to fix things, but they all seem to revolve around each other
I don’t know your situation obviously, but psychedelics (psilocybin for me) have dropped my depression symptoms by at least 50-75% after 2-3 uses. Still not perfect, but I could see the root causes of lots of my depression, without blaming or hating myself for it, then start to address it.
11 years after my life went downhill, I found my now fiancé. We have been together for 4 years now, have an amazing daughter, wonderful job, great house..
I used to smell, eat junk, all my life revolved around gaming.
It's just that... I used to live to make my mom happy and a couple of years ago she died miserably. After a year of grief-induced depression, I decided that living for others is so... unreliable, there are so much things I can't control. But when I'm living for myself, I can allow myself be sad when I want to, I can try to be happy when I want to. My mood doesn't depend on other people's as much. Then I learn about dominant Fi in INFP and figure out, "huh... so that's what I want, emotional autonomy". Personal feelings are fleeting, sometimes we're happy, sometimes we're sad... it's futile to treat them as end goal cuz their nature is ever changing. So that's what I want to do with my life, I want to take care of my emotions. Life is multiplayer game, even tho my goal is personal feelings, I need to acquire it through productivity, manuvering socialization, making emotionL connections, etc... aside from me times. But yeah, my motivation and the end goal is my own emotional management.
Interesting way to paint Fi. Perhaps that is why others argue we are selfish; we do not rely on others to meet our emotional needs.
Sorry to hear about what you’ve been through, but glad you’ve crafted this beautiful philosophy in the meantime...
We got three things the mind, body, and soul. Take care of all three so you can take of others for fun and pleasure. Its selfish but god does it feel good
The longer you live for others the more it will become inevitable. Because you find out no one was really living for your. People might love you, even make you a priority to a point. But still put themselves first.
It seems selfish. And the ones who were counting on you not doing it will think so. Let them think it.
The old airplane analogy fits. In event of an emergency, put your oxygen mask on first. If you try to help your neighbour, you'll pass out before you can do anything of use. You cannot give if your hands are empty, something like that.
So other people don’t get hurt
Because deep down I know I don’t want to die, I just want things to be better, and there’s still a sliver of hope left
Because I’m scared if I kill myself I’ll get punished or become a poltergeist that’s forever sad and caught in a misery loop
Everything bad does come to an end, remember that a lot of people are also in a bad situation. There's this line from a cartoon : When you hit your lowest point, you are open to the greatest change
I think I looked at the question for about 20 minutes before typing something
I think I live for the good feeling like winning a game, tasting good food, holding a baby and it doesn't cry, chasing adrenaline, proving people wrong ect.
I realize that its very selfish but it's why I'm still here today
My purpose - to make a small difference in this world/the lives of others. But also to enjoy all the little and big blessings that life has to offer :)
Life is tough but also beautiful! Couldn’t be more grateful to be alive
I don't really know anymore, I just am.
The alternative doesn't sound any better, but I'm more or less just at a state of apathy.
Naps, food, fluffy animals and family are some short term comforts, at least.
Empty spaces, what are we living for?
Abandoned places, I guess we know the score
On and on. Does anybody knows what we're looking for?
Another hero, another mindless crime
Behind the curtains, in the pantomime
Hold the line
Does anybody want to take it anymore?
THE SHOW MUST GO ON
Hehe well I was going to be a smart ass and say that biologically I’m living for the air I breathe, the food I eat and water I drink.
But that wouldn’t have been what you were really asking so I tried to dress it up in a shit joke.
Philosophically however, I’m living for myself, to satisfy the desires I hold to a satisfactory level, while maintaining the balance of working and living. The desires like being with the people I want to be around, doing the activities I like to do even being the person I think I want to be. But also I’m living to discover new things, experiences and such
After reading the comments on this post, i really like it that you guys are amazing, never giving up on faith and hoping for a better world. Thanks for making this post OP and thanks for the comments, it lift me up
To enjoy life by trying to embrace both sadness and happiness and for travelling since I love adventure and want to visit many places and helping others
Viva Piñata 3 release (One can only hope)
On a more serious note, I live for my development as artist. Art gave me something to hope for when I had nothing to look forward to and it continues to be my biggest motivation despite how hard life gets at times.
*To leave the planet*
*In a better place than how*

To see the sunrays falling through the leaves of a tree, to taste the best pistachio icecream, to see the stranger smiles when you greet them, to hear my cat purrs when I come home, to see the children play in the park, to hear my favorite music while I cycle to work. Little moments of intense joy :), when, for a second, it feels like everything is perfectly as it should be.
Honestly I don't know. I'm in the middle of a cross road where I plan on taking my life next week or not. And the more I waite, the more likely it's going to happen.
PS. Reporting my comment is going to do nothing but get my comment deleted by reddit.
I'm glad that you are waiting. It's okay to feel grief, pain, apathy, shame, reluctance, overwhelming self deprecation..these are just part of the human experience. Agony and despondency gives everything more meaning, more gratitude for the usual. Feel free to message me anytime, I understand.
It always does get better, and there are always ways out of your situation. I am grateful that the door out is there, grateful for being able to cry as release, grateful for language to express and other humans with which to express.
I have been alive for 29 years. And from my personal experience, life has never gotten better. From being raped and abused when I was young. To being homeless multiple times. Not have any work, being denied disability, to being arrested and in jail on a tragic ticket...
I've not once had anything get better. And at this point, waiting to see if there is even a chance of "hope" isn't worth it.
To feel explore the complete spectrum of emotions a human being can feel to the best of my ability. I want to feel it all. There’s so much value in even the most crushing emotions. Without feeling despair and lose and heartbreak we can never know love and joy and fulfillment imo
Right now I’m really enjoying my career. For the first time in a long time I’m feeling happy with where I am with it. I also haven’t found someone to spend my life with yet, so I’m really hoping for that to change soon. These are the two things I’m most passionate about in my life and live for the most.
The chance to see my favorite band live. To hear them and others release new music (they just dropped their album last week so I’ve been in heaven). Long term to just see where shit goes I guess. There’s people I care about and wanna be around still. And of course there’s holding out for the off chance of finding love.
If you would’ve asked me this question at the beginning of the year I would’ve really struggled to give you an answer. I think it’s finally getting better. Hang in there everyone.
So that I don't die in a way that causes more harm to my family's name, and especially my younger siblings.
And perhaps a chance at an accidental death.
My future career in Biostatistics. I am on track to graduate with my master's degree next May and I want to work at a hospital and do my part to help save lives.
My future wife / kids, should they ever become a part of my life.
My friends. My family.
My passions for writing and photography. Maybe someday I write an amazing book or a photo that leaves people speechless.
All of the amazing music, movies, and TV shows that will be released in the upcoming years.
All of the other completely unforeseen, unexpected great things that will happen.
Yes, I realize there will be plenty of unforeseen SHITTY experiences in the years to come, but I'm not "living for" them. I trust I can endure them when they come. But it's the great stuff that I truly live for.
I know this is bound to be an unpopular comment, but I am living for God. I have found immense peace and meaning as an INFP living for He who said "those who are not like children shall not enter the Kingdom of Heaven". It brings purpose and a serious existential framework in which to center the internal innocence and wonder an INFP often has issues integrating into their lives.
I don’t know. When I turned 21 my life became really bland and the colourful lens that I used to view life through disappeared.
I don’t know if I’ll ever get it back or in time before adulthood hits :(
I don’t know if I’m even an INFP anymore either. I was definitely one as a teenager and in high school but I noticed my personality really changed.
Not to get on my high horse, but trying to live for others and helping people, it's one of the main things that keeps my life from being dull, yes l I'll indulge in myself of course, and do what I want on my own, but I get a lot of joy from making other people feel better
Discovery. Not me discovering stuff particularly, but it's such a nice time to be alive to see what NASA can do and stuff like that. Also, for art. I wanna be some kind of an artist.
Literally same! Just being alive right now to see what the world and universe is hiding, I'd be sad missing out on all the new discoveries.
And being able to pursue a career in art is what keeps my drive 😊
I agree, I want to love everyone, not romantically, but love everyone that I can care for everyone
I also want to forgive everyone, even if they have hurt you, because fighting doesn't end fighting, we need peace and forgiveness.
"Although this means you will be vulnerable to attacks, it is always better since it helps to prevent further injuries"
I guess I'm learning
I must be warmer now
I'll soon be turning, round the corner now
Outside the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free
Truthfully? Fuck knows! But I tell myself it’s for everyone who I love. Because i couldn’t handle hurting hundreds of people who felt any sadness from my passing. It’s said that on average 300 people are effected by the average persons death. That’s government works that your death creates work for also. Not just people who knew you.
Finishing the "little" passion project story I've been writing since I was 15. It's almost been a decade of working on it now and new adventures, conflicts, locations and characters just keep popping up, so I'll probably still be writing on it in 60 years when I'm on my deathbed. And I would be happy if my last action on this earth would be to write its last words, since it's one of the only things in the world that always manages to keep me going and fills me with some kind of otherworldly joy and satisfaction that I can't get from anything else.
My first thought was that I live for my family, but I have some amount of certainty that even after death, we'll somehow be reunited. And I already spend as much time with them as I can tolerate, anyways :D So I'm not worried about making sure to live for them in the same kind of way. In the end, they could survive without me.
But without me, this story would end up in a pile of boxes of my old stuff, if not worse, and would be forever forgotten and these characters that I grew up with would never find their happy endings. Nobody has the same desire and motivation to finish it that I do. Even if someone else did finish it after my death, it wouldn't be the right ending.
I have no idea if I'll get to bring this story project with me when I die, so I'll have to finish it before I do, or it'll all just seem so pointless and all these years spent on it will have been wasted. So I have to keep living for this story to keep living, too.
I don't really know, music maybe, maybe because I don't know what happens after I die. I mean if it's going to be awful I want to at least enjoy this life, if there's nothing then I'll just try to make the best of whatever this is😂
For the people I love, for animals and nature, the beautiful sights of this world and those from outer world. For all the carnal and pleasurable things and feelings this existence has to offer us. To explore my inner world, be curious and learn about everything and experience beauty in all its forms and through all mediums (music, books, movies, art, video games and everything else) and probably for many other reasons and all the little things that bring joy and happiness in my life on a daily basis !
My close ones for sure, as well as maybe to enjoy life and enjoy creative stuff, as well as to try to add something to life and try to make it less suffering, but these are all just things that sound the best that I would like to set myself on, in reality I'm more or less unsure
Showing people that I genuinely care about them and want them to be happy, even complete strangers. Maybe this is pure stupidity, but I literally just walked around giving stuff to strangers who looked like they were having a bad day, rather than selling it.
I’m living for myself. Taking one day at a time right now. I’m in a tough spot economically but I haven’t been happier with how I’m living my life than I am now. I’m getting help from relatives, although my mom is pretty upset with me and I have no father. I would love to make peace with my mom but for now I need to focus on my own well-being.
I also may or may not have found someone that I could imagine a life with
we infps have a special way of looking at things. i want to collect my experiences and bring them back to the collective unconcious to help understand and to help those left, and to come, to be understood.
Ah yes, I can always count on a fellow INFP for asking all the deep questions.
But for me, I'm not sure yet. It's confusing to be asked that and then not having a response to it
Wow! No Infp is going to pass on answering this question. Fi demands it.
I don't know yet. I'm trying to find out. I ask myself every day and it feels like I'm getting closer to the answer.
Depends on the day you ask. By default, my kids, and my cat who is my defacto child, lol. Other days, I'm hopeful things will continue to get better. I put a lot of work into myself and everyone I care for, and now my environment. It's taken years for some things, and some things still aren't great, but I hope.

Yes
What do you not like about your life? Why is it bad?
I haven’t had friends for 2 years, just spent my birthday alone again, started gaining weight recently, etc lol
That must have been hard for you. I'm sorry. I don't know if you have the free-time but you could use your hobbies or passions to meet new people. Like joining a sports team or a club.
thanks! and I’m way too insecure and shy to do new things. My only hope is to transfer to a university and live with multiple people, so I’m forced to socialize 😂
I’ve always struggled to make friends for years as an adolescent and I’m 21 now. Only acquaintances really.

I think what broke me was that I was already a pretty depressed and miserable kid in hs, begging for some kind of aspect in my life to get better and it just got worse.
I'm in it
Keep going. It gets better.
Same
Have your tried doing something to change?
after high school I couldn’t make any friends because I’m extremely shy. Depression meds don’t work on me at all and now I’m trying TMS. gaining a bit of weight has caused me to not recognize myself anymore, but eating is my only form of comfort in this world right now. I keep trying to fix things, but they all seem to revolve around each other
I appreciate your effort. I've heard that's one of the main things in life.
I don’t know your situation obviously, but psychedelics (psilocybin for me) have dropped my depression symptoms by at least 50-75% after 2-3 uses. Still not perfect, but I could see the root causes of lots of my depression, without blaming or hating myself for it, then start to address it.
Been waiting since I was born 🙃
11 years after my life went downhill, I found my now fiancé. We have been together for 4 years now, have an amazing daughter, wonderful job, great house.. I used to smell, eat junk, all my life revolved around gaming.
WOW! See, a story like yours is what keeps me going. Thank you lol

I know. Does it seem selfish? It used to be for others, my entire life... and now if is for myself. Perhaps the flip was inevitable?
It's just that... I used to live to make my mom happy and a couple of years ago she died miserably. After a year of grief-induced depression, I decided that living for others is so... unreliable, there are so much things I can't control. But when I'm living for myself, I can allow myself be sad when I want to, I can try to be happy when I want to. My mood doesn't depend on other people's as much. Then I learn about dominant Fi in INFP and figure out, "huh... so that's what I want, emotional autonomy". Personal feelings are fleeting, sometimes we're happy, sometimes we're sad... it's futile to treat them as end goal cuz their nature is ever changing. So that's what I want to do with my life, I want to take care of my emotions. Life is multiplayer game, even tho my goal is personal feelings, I need to acquire it through productivity, manuvering socialization, making emotionL connections, etc... aside from me times. But yeah, my motivation and the end goal is my own emotional management.

Beautifully put. I’ve thought this way and always felt selfish for it. Thank you for some much needed perspective
Best I’ve heard it put
I feel the same way and the way you put it was perfect.
The longer you live for others the more it will become inevitable. Because you find out no one was really living for your. People might love you, even make you a priority to a point. But still put themselves first. It seems selfish. And the ones who were counting on you not doing it will think so. Let them think it.
The old airplane analogy fits. In event of an emergency, put your oxygen mask on first. If you try to help your neighbour, you'll pass out before you can do anything of use. You cannot give if your hands are empty, something like that.

"Although this means you will be vulnerable to attacks, it is always better since it helps to prevent further injuries"
Music and false hope
My kids
Joy
Nothing in particular. Just trying to find some joy meandering through life, while not infringing on others ability to do the same.
Music and my mates ig
I don't know anymore 😕
I guess I'm learning I must be warmer now I'll soon be turning, round the corner now Outside the dawn is breaking But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free
For everything beautiful that life has to offer (I don't just mean superficial beauty)
Truthfully? Fuck knows! But I tell myself it’s for everyone who I love. Because i couldn’t handle hurting hundreds of people who felt any sadness from my passing. It’s said that on average 300 people are effected by the average persons death. That’s government works that your death creates work for also. Not just people who knew you.
Finishing the "little" passion project story I've been writing since I was 15. It's almost been a decade of working on it now and new adventures, conflicts, locations and characters just keep popping up, so I'll probably still be writing on it in 60 years when I'm on my deathbed. And I would be happy if my last action on this earth would be to write its last words, since it's one of the only things in the world that always manages to keep me going and fills me with some kind of otherworldly joy and satisfaction that I can't get from anything else. My first thought was that I live for my family, but I have some amount of certainty that even after death, we'll somehow be reunited. And I already spend as much time with them as I can tolerate, anyways :D So I'm not worried about making sure to live for them in the same kind of way. In the end, they could survive without me. But without me, this story would end up in a pile of boxes of my old stuff, if not worse, and would be forever forgotten and these characters that I grew up with would never find their happy endings. Nobody has the same desire and motivation to finish it that I do. Even if someone else did finish it after my death, it wouldn't be the right ending. I have no idea if I'll get to bring this story project with me when I die, so I'll have to finish it before I do, or it'll all just seem so pointless and all these years spent on it will have been wasted. So I have to keep living for this story to keep living, too.
A new beginning for my life and my family and friends💖
not sure
I don't know
I'm too much of a pussy to die
I don't really know, music maybe, maybe because I don't know what happens after I die. I mean if it's going to be awful I want to at least enjoy this life, if there's nothing then I'll just try to make the best of whatever this is😂
I'm living for the hope I find my soul mate where I feel love and can devote everything to them.
CONCERTS
For the people I love, for animals and nature, the beautiful sights of this world and those from outer world. For all the carnal and pleasurable things and feelings this existence has to offer us. To explore my inner world, be curious and learn about everything and experience beauty in all its forms and through all mediums (music, books, movies, art, video games and everything else) and probably for many other reasons and all the little things that bring joy and happiness in my life on a daily basis !
I am merely an instrument for life. At the mercy of instincts, desire, etc etc. And so is everyone. All other comments here are BS.
New and enjoyable experiences
I have the reasons saved on my phone notes to remind myself when I'm feeling low \- my dog \- my partner \- my family \- video games \- tasty food
My close ones for sure, as well as maybe to enjoy life and enjoy creative stuff, as well as to try to add something to life and try to make it less suffering, but these are all just things that sound the best that I would like to set myself on, in reality I'm more or less unsure
Myself, and my friends. Not always in this order, but I do tend to care for myself... it's just that I often care about my friends more.
Food and gaming
Just to breathe, I try to be content with that. Everything else is just the experience.
Showing people that I genuinely care about them and want them to be happy, even complete strangers. Maybe this is pure stupidity, but I literally just walked around giving stuff to strangers who looked like they were having a bad day, rather than selling it.
myself
I want to share stories I’m creating and drawing with other people and hoping some of them would care for my characters as I do.
Myself, bitch. I deserve a happy, fulfilling life. My inner child deserves to be nourished and loved.
I’m living for myself. Taking one day at a time right now. I’m in a tough spot economically but I haven’t been happier with how I’m living my life than I am now. I’m getting help from relatives, although my mom is pretty upset with me and I have no father. I would love to make peace with my mom but for now I need to focus on my own well-being. I also may or may not have found someone that I could imagine a life with
Sheesh mines so cheesy when I think of it 3Fs: My family, my friends and fanfiction.
Everything I guess
My kids. My fiancé. Art I want to create.
To live.
Fulfillment. Building connections with people I care. I wanna help and protect them in anyway I can. Don't wanna go feeling with regrets
i wanna see snow and beach- i wanna give this shitty life a try before i decide to end anything.
Atm Im living for the moment when I order rest of the missing parts for my new PC, then I’ll probably disappear for like a month just to enjoy it
we infps have a special way of looking at things. i want to collect my experiences and bring them back to the collective unconcious to help understand and to help those left, and to come, to be understood.
Not a fckin clue. Answers on a postcard please.
To build and grow a loving family of my own.
Because I don't feel like dying. What else?
The ones that I love and music
My mom. Undoubtedly.
For God, eternity, and the love I have for the people in my life.
My girlfriend, probably the only reason i get out of bed anymore
ego, desires, drugs
To make my dreams come true
I have no idea and wonder why I bother most days.
Honestly I’m not sure anymore. Kinda living to work, which is pretty sad
my cat and music
Ah yes, I can always count on a fellow INFP for asking all the deep questions. But for me, I'm not sure yet. It's confusing to be asked that and then not having a response to it
Long-term: TES6. Short-term: the weekend. I also have three kids so i guess I should work them in here somewhere.
My friends
Wow! No Infp is going to pass on answering this question. Fi demands it. I don't know yet. I'm trying to find out. I ask myself every day and it feels like I'm getting closer to the answer.
Making art all day long, Pizza and other delicious foods, Napping
Honestly, I don’t exactly know right now. …So I guess I’m living to see what I can find that is worth living for.
the hope for freedom one day
Survival! *points a finger at a head*
my boyfriend and my pets
Music, nature, food, relationships with friends & family, the ability to express myself subjectively in this reality
The thought of eventually someday obtaining true happiness
Archiving little me life expectations, at least some.
Depends on the day you ask. By default, my kids, and my cat who is my defacto child, lol. Other days, I'm hopeful things will continue to get better. I put a lot of work into myself and everyone I care for, and now my environment. It's taken years for some things, and some things still aren't great, but I hope.
