10 Things Your INFP Friend Is Probably Doing

From the testimonies of an INFP & her INFP roommate

1. Walking On Some Nature Trail

INFP's love exploration and adventure. We are also captivated by all things beautiful, especially in the natural world. Nature is something that helps us to engage with what's around us and be fully present.


2. Writing a Song or Journal Entry

INFP's think a LOT. About everything you could think of. If we don't get a chance to express these thoughts, our minds get a little foggy. Writing these thoughts out, whether in a song or a journal entry (or even a poem or story) can allow us to better process our world and what's really going on in ourselves.


3.Contemplating Life's Deepest Questions

Like I said, INFP's think a LOT. But don't get me wrong, we're not always questioning the meaning of life when we're eating lunch with you or walking to class. It's when we're alone with our thoughts that we tend to wonder about deep topics that are exciting to investigate.


4.Creating Something Intended to be Beautiful & Symbolic (But Sometimes, it's just a Symbolic Mess)

Symbolism and beauty are like magnets to an INFP. We like to be creative, but it's like the best of both worlds when our creation has a deeper meaning to it. You may stumble upon your INFP friend creating a collage or sketching a drawing in his or her notebook. Or maybe even recycling a Starbucks cup into a flower pot (yes, I'm serious).


5.Driving to a Place Where No One Knows Them (if it's been a stressful day).

INFP's just need to get away sometimes. They need space when life is getting too stressful. Even the drive itself can be relieving when it includes good music, prayer, and beautiful scenery along the way.


6. Sitting alone in their Dorm for Recharging Purposes

INFP's are introverts. This does not mean they don't enjoy people or that they're closed off. It simply means their energy tends to be replenished by being alone for a bit rather than in a group of people.


7.Overthinking Something Awkward They Said or Did

We can be a bit quirky, I must admit. But hey, doesn't everyone have these kind of situations? Maybe it's more like a human thing than an INFP thing. Either way, don't be surprised if your INFP friend seems distant after seeing him or her in an awkward moment earlier that day.


8.Taking Pictures to their Heart's Content

Whether with professional gear or a smartphone or a polaroid, INFP's love capturing the beauty around them. Finding the best perspective of a moment is an exciting challenge to them.


9.Out Being Spontaneous While Also Procrastinating

Maybe he or she has a paper to write, but someone suggested a Sonic run or an actual run at midnight (if you haven't tried it, you should). Spontaneity brings out the more outgoing side of the INFP's and often gives them the energy they need to accomplish what they need to do later.


10.Having a Conversation About Life (Using Analogies, of Course)

INFP's love relating many different subjects or processes to life in order to better understand and explain it. If your INFP friend goes missing, there is a good chance he or she ran into someone who needed some life advice or simply a good life talk. INFP's will gladly give their input, often trying to explain an analogy that may or may not make sense to anyone outside of themselves.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
