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.
