So what's an immature INFP look like vs. a mature INFP?
I've seen it said before that a clingy INFP is a no-no. Any advice for an INFP that has a dominant sx variant (Enneagram) on how to be... less clingy/possessive of those close to them? Opinions?
Look into "ISFJ"

I don't think an immature INFP is any worse than any other immature type. My worst nightmare is immature ExTx types.
An immature INFP will appear one of two ways, usually:
1. moody, self-absorbed, cynical
and overly idealistic, romanticizes flaws, elitist, withdrawn, too sensitive, critical (probably enneagram 4)
2. too "nice", too passive, feels victimized, extremely conflict avoidant, low confidence, seeks pity, too sensitive, no ambition, no sense of self, deluded optimism (probably enneagram 9)
These extremes basically amount to "mean INFP" vs "fluffy INFP".
The thing is, I read that very often in these forums. Everyone seems to find INFP girls / women cute and stuff, me included. On the other hand, I read rarely that this applies to the guys.
The reasoning for it must be complicated, if this would be right. Maybe the stereotype of an INFP just doesn't go well with the stereotype of the typical man in society, but much more with women?
That's on forums....IRL, an INFP woman is far from fitting society's idea of women (read: ESFJ). But I don't doubt that being an IFP man is rough - it's pretty opposite of the male ideal (read: ESTJ).
