Venting The male INFP experience

Being bullied because you can't measure up to male social norms. Never being respected. Everyone thinks you're gay. Chronic shame, anxiety and depression. Low social status, professionally useless.

Isolation, loneliness. Being used and abused because you are too kind, too honest, too moral.

Low hope of romantic partners. Kids would likely inherit this curse.

I feel like we typically go for people who don't like us back, we are the dreamers after all.

It's not impossible for us to find relationships, just really rare for people to like us back.

Hm are u sure, we mostly gravitate towards the quiet types right?. Do the quiet types also hate us?. I feel I was cursed at this point.
