As a male INFP, I can't confirm any of these signs. maybe with not experienced infps these happen. But as they grow, infps tend to rectract much more. Number 1, infps will learn that their alone time is very precious and they rarely want to share it with anyone. Number 2 may be right, we tend to listen to you very much because we are reserved. But on the long run, because we are so drown in our inner world, we get accused so much that "you don't listen" or "you don't understand". This is so annoying to me, as I'm accused of this so many times and I tend to forget so many details about others. It's not that I don't care about others, In fact I think I do care alot about others. (obviously it's all in my head). But I feel like details are not that important in the long run. I feel like I'm tired of justifying myself to others. all that we want is calmness and a little understanding. is that a lot to ask? I think it is. then ok, it is what it is. Number 3 may be true in early stages but again on the long run, I tend to become quiet because I don't like sharing too much of myself. Too exposed and I'm on the risk of getting hurt badly. So I learned that if I talk about what I think is helpful or fun, I might get hurt. So "Be alert about that". again Number 4, I do it whenever I see something from another side. In any other case especially at early stages, I don't like to take initiative.(This gets better over time). Ohh, and again Number 5, which is such a wrong thing to do. Again there is so much risk in revealing your inner world that is immeasurable. I like to take steps, only and if only I see small steps from others which I think are respectable.
So I hope this could help others to understand infps better. becuase you don't know how much effort we put to understand others, and it's only fair to want the same from others.
