I don't speak on this kind of thing when it's people in this sub venting, but I'm tired of seeing all these memes about INFPs being depressed. I think it's inaccurate, and dangerous if numerous people in the sub are saying that having poor mental health as an INFP is just part of the baggage of the MBTI.
Forget that. This sub is a literal echo chamber for people suffering from a battle with mental health, and then they chalk it up to it being a part of their personality because you can't tell the difference between what's you and whats the disorder anymore.
Please stop saying INFP and depression are two sides of the same coin. They do not have to be. You can be healthy and proud of yourself. You can enjoy the journey of life. Lower all those high expectations and stop comparing yourself to others. Move forward and believe that anxiety and depression can be a mountain you can conquer.
Yeah it's weird. I'm not depressed at all. Depression is a society issue

I might've been unclear. We probably agree. I meant that depression doesn't have a certain mbti type. It's widespread across our society as a whole. My theory is that we largely don't do enough stuff we enjoy, while simultaneously filling our schedules with things we don't like just to pay bills. It was hard for me to see the real impact of this until I started doing a job that gave me meaning, fulfillment, and purpose. I suddenly have so much mental energy and love to give everyone around me
