INFP personality types crave connection and intimacy with others. They crave being truly seen, heard, and understood, and INFP personality types are excellent at doing this for other people. This is because the INFP personality type is able to accept the whole of someone. They are able to accept other people with all their flaws and issues, and still appreciate them and love them, and also make them feel lovable.
The INFP personality type is one of the MBTI types that can always see the beauty in other people, even when they’re struggling. However, INFP personality types also tend to seek to merge with others in relationships. Boundaries can be extremely challenging for INFPs. This is often because the INFP experienced enmeshment with a parent in childhood, and so what happens in adulthood is that the INFP has an intimate relationship with someone and unconsciously assumes that the other person’s emotional state is dependent on them.
INFPs will often have problems with a partner if the partner is in a bad mood, or needs space but doesn’t explain why. If their partner is frustrated with a situation outside of the relationship, or is overall feeling like they are unfulfilled in life, the INFP can struggle with this too.
This is because many INFPs unconsciously assume that they are responsible for the emotional state of their partner. This is an unconscious assumption, and so most of the time the INFP does not even realize they have this belief in place. So, when their partner’s emotional state takes a downturn, the INFP will assume that it is in some way their fault. The INFP will go crazy inside their own mind, trying to figure out what they did wrong, or trying to figure out how they are not meeting their partner’s needs, and how they can fix this issue.
