most infps try to change their lives by trying to force their habits. they think if they just "do more," they’ll eventually become the person they want to be.

science says that’s backwards.

in this video, we’re diving into the proteus effect—a stanford study that proves your "avatar" (your identity) actually dictates your behavior. if you see yourself as a rogue hiding in the shadows, you’re going to act like one. you’ll stay stealthy, stay disconnected, and stay lonely. i know, because i did that for years.

i’m sharing the exact moment in a nagoya club where i realized i was playing the wrong character class, and how shifting from "rogue" to "healer" changed everything—from my career to how i show up on this channel.

what we’re covering:

• the stanford study on how avatars change our brain.

• why infps struggle with "intentional" identity (and why it’s not fake).

• the rogue to priest shift: my personal story.

• logical levels: a step-by-step framework to shift your identity, beliefs, and environment.

if you feel like you’re stuck playing a character you didn't choose, it’s time to log out and pick a new class.
