INFP

My personality type is INFP, or introversion, intuition, feeling, and perception. This means that I am an idealist who looks for the good in everyone, which does seem like me. Sometimes, I just want to see past the labels placed on everyone which can get me in a lot of trouble with some not-so-good people. I am also very shy, according to my personality type which again, holds true to my real personality. Because of this, I have trouble opening up to people and keep to myself more often than I probably should. I have trouble connecting with other people and hate being the center of attention. I just care too much about what other people think of me and would rather stay silent than say something stupid to make someone hate me. According to my personality type, I am creative which I would like to think is true. I love to write and create much more than doing things which don’t allow me to use my imagination. My weaknesses include sensitivity to criticism. Unfortunately, this is very true. I usually keep it to myself when I \am hurt by a criticism, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt. I get defensive and even though I make fun of myself and point out my flaws all the time, I can’t stand it when other people do it to me for some reason. I guess it hurts hearing the truth from someone you care about or look up to. It’s worse than telling yourself the truth. Only about 4% of the population shares my personality type. Maybe that’s why I feel lonely all the time. Maybe that’s why it feels like there are very few people who understand me.
