Omg, Alan L, as a fellow male INFP, I deeply feel your agony. You have just described my entire life.
Spending a huge amount of time in my head also does not help, people only see that as a corkyness and more weirdness.
It is a daily struggle and it never gets easier. I think that being a female INFP must be already hard, in this logical, cold, dog-eat-dog society of ours, but imagine a MALE INFP. Words cannot describe (luckily I know you can Feel it).
Nonetheless I also happen to adore my type as much as I find it difficult. Kind of a blessing/curse. Because we know how good we are. I (not really something I brag about) can understand where people are emotionally coming from, by the slightest hint they may unintentionally give.
The world is a better place with the approximate 4% of its population being INFP!
