'cause we act differently around different people? For me, at least. People who annoy me (think former boss/friend) tend to get the sarcastic side of me sometimes. BUT. I am pretty self-effacing though I have learned to accept compliments with a joke ("Awww, so sweet of you to say that. You're such a sweetiepiehunnybunny").
Hope you found this helpful.
/it's totally not my generation. It's just a fad from my pov, the new 'cool' look
Hipsters are annoying.
Keeping just with personal look, which is my immediate initial association with hipsters, I just do my own thing which is basically wearing fun scarves and earrings, which I did before scarves became 'in', bah, though my scarves are either homemade or ones I find in small stores that no one else wears / i.e. not from h&m or hot topic or anywhere like that. From my pov I'm not at all trying to find stuff no one else wears, I just like finding a few items I think are quality, 'me', and that *I* find beautiful. For example many popular things I just don't care for, I wouldn't feel comfortable in them or think they were 'me', even if I might fit in with everyone else. The comments I usually get are 'stylish', 'I like your earrings', 'sophisticated'. I like simplistic accessorizing, not overdoing it. I guess my own personal style is important to me even though I think minus the earrings and scarves my clothing itself is not terribly interesting -at face value. It's about creating an entire look, all of it together creates the look, take one thing away and it becomes nothing, really.
I do feel my life is pretty simple, or I like it that way, but I think the mystery comes into play with how isfp's reach that point, and why, and their values, which will vary from one to the next. And sometimes striving for simplicity isn't necessarily easy in todays' world, so there's that as well. But yeah at face value I am probably fairly 'simple' in what I truly find important in life. If things or situations become too complex I may deem it just not worth it or something's not quite right, in the long run.
Well also your home is in the present and that is a whole another world. Another ISFP I met was very tolerant of me and my mistakes. The patience is incredible because you guys can hold it in so well haha. I often feel that INFP's get upset easier. Also the laid back attitude reflect a little bit of the INFp Socionics that life is not meant to always to take always so seriously. *sigh*
Simple is good.
P.S. I know your inner world is another realm. Haha. Complex in ways I cannot comprehend.
Ha, any of my friends wouldn't ever consider me 'dumb', and that was the last thing ppl in school thought when I was young, but now that I think about it, it's probable that acquaintances or people I casually interact with might have that opinion, just because of the fact that I don't say a whole lot or I just give fairly high level simplistic answers or summaries. I'm definitely not your verbose highly articulate explainer or outliner or describer. I tend not to dwell on the subject, though, as I'm of the opinion if someone makes a super quick judgment on that, they're kind of unintelligent in many ways by doing so. I think I run into this the most (and it occurs with all workers in the food /service industry) at the coffee shop I work at, for example with smug and extremely arrogant doctors/surgeons or that type -- it is what it is. It's no loss to me, frankly, they can date and be friends with people who put up with their schtick.
But again, it's not often that I truly get upset.

Yeah, the calm demeanor doesn't mean things aren't lively inside.
