Any NP type is anti-authority, though in my opinion, INFPs are the most likely to take this seriously, to the point where they seemingly become infatuated with their own misery.
I have INFP tendencies myself so I know how this feels.
INFPs tend to over-exaggerate the weight of their problems. Lucky for you if you have a strong Ti, you can always put yourself into neutral mode and counteract the depression NeFi generates.
There's always an alternative side of looking at the prism (Strong Ne peeps have good mastery of this). In people with superior Fi though, it's always stuck to whatever seems more miserable.
I don't know why people talk so negatively of Fi, as if Ne is the only saving grace for INFPs.
The Fi Si loop discussed in another thread is more of what you are referring to. I think any type letting their tertiary and dominant functions block their auxiliary will be imbalanced (I think this is as common in extroverts as introverts too).
