How to Interact
INFPs need emotional safety to thrive. Be gentle and non-judgmental. They communicate best one-on-one, not in groups. Honor their values even if you disagree — dismissing what they believe in feels like dismissing who they are. Give genuine compliments; they treasure authenticity. Don't try to 'fix' their emotions — just listen.
