“You are an aperture through which the universe is looking at and exploring itself. Through our eyes, the universe is perceiving itself. Through our ears, the universe is listening to its harmonies. We are the witnesses through which the universe becomes conscious of its glory, of its magnificence.”
— Alan Watts
Room view goals
Ne is like time and space within itself, with so many possible timelines in existence.
Ni is like a weather forecasting stone, because it can just feel and tell what’s about to happen.
Se is like a camera, because it records everything around it and takes it in fully, every single detail.
Si is like a calculator, because it has all the info it needs to know stored within it, it remembers.
Fe is like a hospital, because it cares for those who are hurt, and fulfills their every need, and forgets about its own needs because it’s busy with others.
Fi is like a compass, because it leads us to the true and correct direction we should follow to stay true.
Te is like an office, because it’s organized and lets everyone know what needs to be done to get things done accomplished accordingly.
Ti is like a science lab, because once the experiments are conducted, it can analyze the results well.
Just imagine a world full of beautiful stained glass windows which also generate electricity…

how do you tell an unhealthy isfp from an unhealthy infp? thanks 🙏
UNHEALTHY ISFPs fight against the influence others may have on them, trying to hold on to their independence and individuality. Steve Rogers/Captain America is a prime example of this in Civil War. They become stubborn and defensive of their way of life, not adjusting to the external world as it really is. Harry Potter and Zuko also exhibit this behavior. They both try their hardest to disregard the input of others in an act to preserve their initial Fi judgments. They both have to accumulate more Se experience in order to have a more objective view of themselves and their judgments. For Zuko it takes being exiled, being with his Uncle who pushes him constantly, and making even more mistakes in book 3 to come to a healthier place where he accepts the influence of others on himself.
UNHEALTHY INFPs fight against opposing ideals they find problematic. They challenge others and their ideas hoping to point out the flaws and prove the person they disagree with to be wrong. They can seem more extraverted when they are unhealthy in this way. In their own way by attacking the ideals of others they are trying to defend their own inner ideals from outside influence. Denying their proper Ne to see other viewpoints and the objective world. Their inferior Te is wielded so they believe they are being rationale in their defensive strategy. Amon from Avatar: Legend of Korra is a great example of this. For a non-villain that does this it is important to look at April Ludgate from Parks and Recreation. This behavior is often why she is mistyped as ISTP/INTP. They see her as more impersonal playing devil’s advocate, but when she is trolling people in her passive-aggressive way she is really on the defense trying to preserve her Fi and point out that everyone else is inauthentic.
The Gist:
ISFPs ignore others to preserve their sense of integrity/authenticity. INFPs fight others, almost like devil’s advocate but trying to prove some moral point. Both are stubborn.

“Stress, worry, and anxiety simply come from projecting your thoughts into the future and imagining something bad. This is focusing on what you don’t want! If you find that your mind is projecting into the future in a negative way, focus intensely on NOW. Keep bringing yourself back to the present. Use all of your will, and focus your mind in this very moment, because in this moment of now there is utter peace.”
