I help geeks and gamers to play life better. As an INFP, I've spent a lot of time trying to understand myself, forcing myself outside of my comfort zone, finding my purpose in life, gaining self-confidence, and learning how to have better relationships. Personality type is one of the main models I use to help clients regain control over their lives, but I also tend to use Neuro-Linguistic Programming and hypnosis as well. Stay awhile and listen!

INFP Personality Type Explained

Are you an INFP who’s ever wondered, “Why do I feel so out of place—even around people I like?” You're welcome here. In this video, I break down why INFPs experience the world so differently, and why that difference can both sting and empower.


Here’s what to expect:

• The hidden challenge every INFP secretly wrestles with (and why it’s more common than you think)

• Why social rejection hits harder for INFPs—and how to stop blaming yourself for it

• The surprising power of speaking up, even when it doesn’t come naturally

• Are you betraying yourself by fitting in? Busting the biggest myth about “authenticity”

• Where to actually find your people (spoiler: it’s closer than you think)

• Discover the hidden gift of being different—and why it doesn’t mean you’re broken

• How to juggle multiple passions without feeling like a flake


If you’ve ever felt “too sensitive,” “too weird,” or just “too much,” this video is for you. And hey, it's better to be too much than too little.

Four Thoughts That RUIN INFPs

Ever feel stuck bouncing between projects, daydreaming, comparing yourself to others, or just wondering if you’re fundamentally broken? Yeah, that’s classic INFP territory.


This video digs into the four self-destructive thought patterns that trip up INFPs over and over again:

• Forcing yourself to finish every project (and hating yourself when you don't)

• Dismissing your inner world as “just daydreaming”

• Comparing your struggles to other people’s strengths

• Believing you’re broken for being different


As an INFP who’s walked this path, built communities, and coached hundreds of dreamers, I break down how these habits come from fighting your nature instead of accepting it. You’ll find practical tips, stories, and the permission you didn’t know you needed to start living more in line with your real strengths.


⏰ Timestamps: 00:00 Four Thoughts That RUIN INFPs

00:04 The Hidden Pattern That Holds Us Back

04:42 The Surprising Power of What Others Call Weakness

06:10 What If Your Inner World Holds the Key?

07:22 The Unexpected Truth About Those We Envy

10:03 Breaking Free From the Biggest Lie We Tell Ourselves

13:57 The Permission That Changes Everything

Brain Scans Reveal INFP vs INFJ Differences (with Dr Dario Nardi)

You’ve been told you’re either an INFP or INFJ, but the difference is way deeper than quirky memes or stereotype lists.


Ever feel like no online test or personality quiz gets you? This video actually uses neuroscience—real brain scans, not TikTok speculation—to reveal what’s going on inside INFP and INFJ minds. Your entire approach to decision-making, values, and even the way you daydream can be explained (finally!) by science, not tea leaves.


Why should you care? Because misunderstanding your own nature—or someone else’s—leads to frustration, missed connections, and settling for one-size-fits-all advice. Trust me, your next “aha!” about yourself or that mystical INFJ friend is coming.


I sat down with Dr. Dario Nardi, a neuroscientist who literally mapped the brains of INFPs and INFJs, to break down what’s actually happening up there. You’ll see real scientific evidence, hear about the biggest brain activity differences (some will surprise you), and learn how to spot these types in the wild—based on behaviors, not buzzwords.


Whether you’re an INFP who can’t explain your gut feelings, or an INFJ spinning in Ni-territory, here’s how to finally understand what sets you apart. Consider this your shortcut to self-acceptance—and way fewer “am I mistyped?” crises.

This isn’t just another MBTI breakdown. It’s a real talk for INFPs about what it means to be authentic in a world that often misunderstands you.

• The world needs your depth, creativity, and compassion—now more than ever

How the INFP brain works (finally clear)

Are you ready to stop just understanding your INFP mind and finally start transforming your life? 

Go here: http://geekpsychology.com/infp-5day


INFPs, ever feel like your brain runs on a completely different operating system? You're not wrong. This deep dive with neuroscientist Dr. Dario Nardi finally lays it all bare, directly mapping how your unique INFP mind actually works.


Dr. Nardi, a leading expert in brain activity and personality types, uses EEG scans to show why INFPs often ask "Why am I like this?" (and why everyone else asks it too!). This isn't just theory; it's tangible proof of how your brain lights up, makes decisions, and processes the world.


We break down:

The "two CEOs" in your head: your goal-focused Left Prefrontal Cortex and the open-ended Right Prefrontal Cortex – and why INFPs might be more "decision-focused" than you think.

The infamous "Christmas Tree Mode" of Extraverted Intuition (Ne) that helps you connect everything, and the sacred "Fortress of Solitude" Introverted Intuition (Ni) needs for deep insights.

Why leaning into curiosity is your superpower, and how you actually learn best through failure (the brain literally has a part for it!).

The surprising role of the limbic system and why emotions like guilt and regret can be powerful motivators for NF types.

How AI is becoming the ultimate co-pilot for NP creativity, helping you sift through ideas and find your spark.


If you’ve ever felt misunderstood or just wanted to hack your own brain for better flow and creativity, this video is a must-watch. Prepare for some serious "aha!" moments that will make you feel truly seen.


A Message From Dario

JOIN MY IN-PERSON "JUNG FOR LIFE" Transformational Workshop -- 3-days in NYC (Oct) and Chicago (Nov). This is a rare chance to work face-to-face with yours truly, Dario Nardi (author of "Neuroscience of Personality" and "Jung on Yoga") with type coach Joyce Meng. The sessions include: Jung, active imagination, yoga, shamanic drumming, group dynamics, breathwork, Human Connection, Group Relations, and of course Type.

Why Do Some INFPs Create While Others Stay Stuck

FREE 5-Day INFP Personality Type Course: http://geekpsychology.com/infp-5day


I used to spend endless hours in my head, overthinking every detail of my creative ideas. Each idea seemed more perfect and exciting than the last, but they never saw the light of day.


As an INFP, I realized that my extraverted intuition made me savor the novelty of ideas, but it also trapped me in a cycle of inaction. I knew I wasn't alone—many of us INFPs see the potential in our ideas but are held back by the fear of imperfection.


I decided that it was time to break free from this cycle. I learned to embrace imperfection and realized that taking action on my ideas creates more opportunities and satisfaction than keeping them locked in my mind. The truth hit me: imperfect action beats perfect inaction every time.


I began setting shorter deadlines for myself, which pushed me to take action and not let my ideas go to waste. If you're facing the same struggles, I urge you to take that first step. Share your creativity with the world, and don't be afraid of it being less than perfect. Every creation is a building block to growth and fulfillment.

This method will transform your life as an INFP


FREE 5-Day INFP Personality Type Course: http://geekpsychology.com/infp-5day


Ever feel like you're chasing a moving target with self-development? Like you're trying to do everything right but just not making meaningful progress?


Many INFPs tell me that they just don't know how to maintain consistency, motivation, and clarity.


In this video, I dive into why traditional self-help advice often misses the mark and how shifting your perspective can unlock genuine growth. It's not about quick fixes or forcing yourself into a mold that doesn't fit. It's about understanding your unique operating system and working with it, not against it.


I'll share a different way to approach personal growth, one that feels less like a chore and more like an adventure. We'll explore why chasing external metrics of success can leave you feeling empty and how to tap into what truly motivates you.


If you're tired of the self-help hamster wheel and ready for a more authentic path to growth, this video is for you.

You know that feeling when you know what's right for you, but a wave of self-doubt washes over you? That's your relationship with yourself signaling it needs attention. It's the most important one you have, and for many INFPs, myself included, it gets neglected.


This video is a deep dive into rebuilding that crucial relationship. I'm sharing my personal journey of learning to trust my intuition and decisions, even after years of getting stuck in self-doubt. We'll explore how to reframe your past struggles and use them as fuel for growth, not reasons to stay small.


I'll walk you through a practical, step-by-step approach to cultivating self-forgiveness, making empowered choices, and honoring your own needs.


If you're tired of feeling disconnected from your own inner guidance, this is for you.

Geek Psychology: Play Life Better

I help geeks and gamers to play life better. As an INFP, I've spent a lot of time trying to understand myself, forcing myself outside of my comfort zone, finding my purpose in life, gaining self-confidence, and learning how to have better relationships. Personality type is one of the main models I use to help clients regain control over their lives, but I also tend to use Neuro-Linguistic Programming and hypnosis as well. Stay awhile and listen!
