I should actually answer you. MBTI is a typing index that intends to categorize people into one of sixteen different personalities. INFPs are
Introverted
iNtuitive
Feeling
Perceiving

They're commonly seen as idealistic, head-in-the-clouds people who care deeply about others and their personal values. Often drawn to artistic pursuits. MBTI gets more interesting when you look at the Jungian cognitive function stuff it's based on but it still comes off as incredibly pseudosciency to me.

Hello, fellow INFPs (4w5 with type 9 tendencies), born on the Aquarius-Pisces cusp. What have you been reading? I've been reading a book by American anarchist Bookchin on the advent of hierarchies, the resulting emergence of the dichotomy between nature and humanity, and the urgent need to leave behind all power structures. I've also been reading The Book of Disquiet, which is very beautiful and poetic. Hope you all have a great day.

Very based. I have his Ecology of Freedom somewhere.

Yeah, according to Jung your consciousness has one cognitive function and subconsciousness the complete opposite one which acts in compensatory fashion and usually is the weakest point of your personality. For example introverted thinking orientated consciousness has extroverted feeling as a subconscious function therefore these people have hard time regarding ability to feel unity and closedness with other people in general.

One is definitely born with a natural talent, but it can be honed. A talented author with no practice is still shit. The trick is to ONLY input good quality reading- no popular fiction, capeshit/star wars bullshit, modern poetry, fad authors etc.
Read Tolstoy, Tolkein, Shakespeare, Donne, Austen, Wordsworth and so on. It will spark your innate writing ability AND channel it into a tasteful style, as well as hopefully not allowing you to be corrupted by poor quality / lazy / virgin writing styles.

They absolutely can, but it depends on the trait and it depends on the person. It's more likely, to my mind at least, that a person could become more confident and discover the joys of feeling the fear and doing it anyway.

I've tried to balance it out by being physically fit and forcing myself to be more outgoing to a certain extent. But I've also largely accepted that I'm not someone that takes life by the balls and rather tries to find beauty in the world as I perceive it. I do wish someone had taught me to stand up for myself more when I was younger though
