with them is a little bit tricky.

1.
They work with feelings instead of logic.
Most of the decisions they make are based on how the outcome will make they feel.
Don't ask INFPs to explain their logical reasons for choosing something as most of
the time they won't have any.
If it makes them feel good and fits with their personal values, then it's a good decision.
2.
The attach emotion to almost everything.
If they're watching a sad movie or reading a sad book, they may cry.
But that isn't a sign of weakness.
Rather, INFPs tend to be empathic and caring.
They're so in touch with the emotional side of life that they may feel the suffering of
others (including fictional characters).
Trust me, if you empathized with other people's emotions the way they do, you'd cry too!
3.
They may be sentimental about certain objects.
Getting rid of certain things may be hard.
To INFPs, items from their past are not just material objects but symbols that represent
moments in time or pieces of their heart.
They may feel like they're giving away a part of themselves if they have to get rid
of a treasured item.
So, if they keep a birthday card from 15 years ago or that box of stuff from their college
days, you have to understand that.
4.
Even if you don't understand, please honor their decision-making process.
INFPs can have a hard time making decisions because they see many different ways a situation
could go.
As mentioned before, they do things because it feels right and fits with their inner values
and beliefs.
If their partner questions about their motives or puts pressure on them to decide quickly,
they could get defensive.
You need to give them some time and space to "try on" different decisions and see
how they feel.
5.
Learn about their values.
INFPs choose to be true to themselves rather than try to fit in with the crowd.
They don't just follow the traditions of others, instead they explore their own values
and ideas and decide for themselves what seems right.
These values are INFPs very soul and moral compass.
They involve an inner love of certain things and an inner aversion to other things.
Their values allow them to wake up everyday without feeling like the world is going to
crumble around them.
So if you really want to get to know an INFP, take the time to find out what their value.
6.
Don't purposely push the buttons.
Some people think it's funny to hover right around their boundary.
They tease or say shocking things just to see how INFPs will react.
For example, telling them that they have to go to a party right now, then saying, "just
kidding, I just wanted to see what you'd do," it is not okay.
While this might be entertaining for the other person, it's not fun for INFPs.
If they get angry, it can take some time to cool things off.
7.
It can take a while for INFPs to bounce back from negative emotions.
Yes, that's true.
They process emotional experiences at a very deep level.
If something negative happens to INFPs, like fighting with their partner or experiencing
a setback or loss, it can take hours, days, or even weeks for
them to feel better (this of course depends on the severity of the situation).
Don't tell them to just get over with their feelings.
Since you know, feeling are their basic characteristic.
8.
Validate their feelings.
At some point, they're already used to people telling them to "suck it up" or "stop
being so sensitive."
Sometimes they've even been laughed at when they're being emotional.
This may make them believe that what we're feeling is wrong.
In this case, you need to let them know that whatever you're feeling is okay as there
is no right way to feel.
9.
Comfort them when they're sad.
If you notice an INFPs feeling sad, ask if you can just sit with them or if they want
a hug.
They may not want to (or be able to) explain right away exactly what's bringing them
down, but just knowing you're there for them will help.
10.
Know that there will be times when it's difficult for INFPs to compromise.
Because INFPs are guided by their own values, there will be times when compromising goes
against every part of their being.
It may seem like they're being stubborn, but they're really just trying to honor their
own values.
This will happen rarely, but when it does, you need to make an effort to see things from
their perspective.
Try to understand where they're coming from.
11.
Sometimes planning stress them out.
INFPs like having a rough idea of what's coming up so they can prepare their energy
in advance.
But excessive planning can be overwhelming and stressful, so they may resist.
For example, if they're going on vacation, they may not want to sort through tons of
websites and make list after list of where they could go.
They'd rather let their heart decide and make a decision based on what inspire them.
All in all, that's all you need to know about loving an INFP personality type.
