I decided to become the darker version of an INFP.

No, it’s not because someone hurt me.
There’s no villain in my story.
No dramatic betrayal. No tragic moment.

It happened because too many good opportunities came into my life… and I let them slip away.

As an INFP, I lived too much inside my own head. I overthought everything. I waited too long. I felt too deeply. And because of that, I failed to use those chances wisely.

Do I regret it?
Of course I do.

Especially when I realized I wouldn’t stay young forever. Time doesn’t pause for people who think too much. My age keeps moving forward, and one day I woke up wanting to stop being stupid in my own way.

So what did life as an INFP teach me?

I held in too many thoughts for too long. Small frustrations, quiet doubts, things I told myself weren’t worth saying. Until one day, a new problem came—and everything exploded.

And yes, I ruined my own opportunities.

If you’re an INFP, you probably know this feeling. Exploding. Speaking up all at once. Pouring out everything that’s been trapped in your head. It feels honest, but it rarely works in your favor. More often, it damages your life and your career.

Now, I’m not even sure I can say I’m still “young.”
I realized things too late.

And honestly, I want to wake other INFPs up—not with anger, but with clarity. We can’t keep sabotaging ourselves.

That’s why lately I’ve been focusing on creating experimental content. Everything revolves around self-growth. About becoming a better version of ourselves as humans. Because I believe we weren’t born as INFPs just to overthink endlessly.

We were meant to help. To heal. To make things better.

Feelings never run out.
So don’t let them destroy your career.

Turn them into art.
Into journaling.
Into writing.
Into something that exists outside your head.

I didn’t become evil.
I just chose to think more realistically than I used to.
