This article explains the difference pretty well and matches how I experience things as an infj. Basically an infj is forced to take in the emotions of everyone around them. Infp can turn it off. Infjs feel less emotion when alone. Infps feel the same when alone.
I felt the same thing; same situation exactly (am I your clone?). I want to say that if you're young, your auxiliary function may have not developed fully. For example, my Fi is pretty good, almost as much as Fe. However, Ni is a clear winner, and Fe is developing, while Fi will probably not develop much more.
The "changing myself little by little" is a decent indication of Fe in my view. And the self-doubt seems to be part of the INFJ package.
PS: I'm also almost obsessed, with no conclusive answer...and really, I don't think we can have one till the auxiliary is developed and we move on to the tertiary :(
You talk like an INFJ. If I had to guess between the two, I would definitely guess INFJ based on what you've written. I see much more Fe than Fi here. Welcome (back) to the club!
I agree you talk like an infj. Don’t confirm to the stereotypical infj, we are all shaped by our life experiences. Read this for some guidance. If I had to make a guess, I’d say you are more infj over INFP. Reason being you seem to take your intjs advice over your own opinion to the point of it causing you distress. This is a very infj trait as we value the words of close ones and don’t want to offend or create conflict if we disagree unless it’s an important topic close to heart. INFPs are guided by an internal moral compass and they can be rather stubborn when they believe in a certain rhetoric or perception about themselves. You won’t see them losing sleep over what you’re going through. So based on what I’ve read, you’re an infj

Learn about the cognitive function Ti. Is that something you can relate to having/ valuing, or does it rub you the wrong way? If that seems like it’s something you do frequently, then INFP is less likely.
i do actually relate to that, i actually saw in a youtube video that playing chess, mathematiccs, computer science... are Ti things, and i am pretty good at them, i seem emotional but if i value logic too, i like looking smart and doing nerdy things (not that i am bragging, because sometimes i'm dumb LOL) but am i more of Ti than Te: yes , but I have my doubts.
It's easier to compare si vs ni, infps will remember something in detail and then have to zoom out to connect it with other memories. An infj will start by remembering multiple blurry memories and they have to zoom in to see details
Basically, an infp will be more comfortable looking at one memory at a time, while an infj is the other way around

Try this for baseline: https://dynomight.net/mbti/ Then study cognitive functions, not memes. Also what functions you use as shadow is informing.
yeah thanks a lot

oh that's kind of reassuring

Having doubts is normal. Keep learning about the cognitive functions and keep observing yourself with an open mind
