i found a new term for infps (it’s called an "otrovert")


so, there’s this new personality label floating around in 2025 called an otrovert. it’s being described as a "gift" for people who are socially capable but emotionally detached from the group. people who feel like permanent outsiders but don't actually need group validation.


sound familiar?


as an infp, this term kind of pisses me off. not because it’s wrong, but because it’s redundant. it’s like someone reinvented the wheel but forgot to tell the people where it came from.


in this video, we’re unpacking:

• why the "otrovert" trend is just introverted feeling (fi) rebranded.

• why infps naturally feel like "social outsiders" (and why that’s actually a high-level skill, not a bug).

• the danger of chasing shallow personality labels instead of understanding your actual cognitive wiring.

• how to stop seeking "group-think" validation and start leaning into your soul (fi) and explorer (ne) character classes.
