Reddit AMA Recap: IamINF Creator of INFCartoons

Posted on by

The other day, cartoonist IamINF took park in a Reddit AMA where he was there promoting his new book that features cartoons that better illustrate living an introverted lifestyle. You can order the book here, but we took some highlights from the AMA on why he produced the book and what it’s like being an introvert in an overly extroverted society.

On his favorite cartoon

Oh, man. Um. My favorite cartoons are usually not the most popular ones! I have many favorites, but the one that comes to mind is the INFJ HSP guy named Jason who’s sitting at the bar with a spear and two arrows in him. I suppose that was sort of popular. The personal story is that Jason is really me. I just named him after one of my wife’s classmates.

On being an introvert all the while having to do promotion for cartoons/books

I feel your pain. We INFJs are very relational. One cartoon I made compared us to a fast burning candle with an intense flame. How do I balance? It’s not easy. I have no easy answers. It’s good to have strong relationships with other introverts, other who get it. Makes it easier to approach balance. I think.

On why he decided to write a book

I really wanted to encourage fellow INFJs and introverts, so I began posting cartoons on the Internet in 2013. Since the online series was so well received, I decided to put a printed collection together to reach a wider audience.
