The Pain Of Being The Infj Hsp Personality Type

The Pain Of Being The Infj Hsp Personality Type explores key ideas related to psychology, presented clearly and practically.

Besides the obvious reasons as to why it’s so

difficult to be the rarest personality type

with extremely high sensitivity, the INFJ HSP

experiences a few not-so-obvious struggles that

not many other people can relate to in life. Sure,

feeling misunderstood and lonely is one thing, but

what else challenges this highly sensitive type?

Alright, let’s get right into it starting with..

Number 1: They feel worldly problems to the bone

watched the news, and they will probably recall

a situation in which they had no choice. In other

words, most people with the INFJ personality type

steer far away from any type of global news

mostly because they are convinced it’s all

misleading bogus.. which doesn’t exactly seem

too far fetched. However, when it comes to the

highly sensitive INFJ, mind-bending news reports

of suffering and worldly problems can hit them

Although INFJ HSPs are still prone to taking

all reported news with a grain of salt, they

can’t help but to absorb the negative feelings

surrounding worldly issues such as war, famine,

inequality, and other tragedies. In fact, when

they dive into the topic of worldly problems,

the highly sensitive INFJ can be left to feel

even more guilty and hopeless for not doing enough

to change things for the better - something

they already struggle with on a daily basis.

Number 2: They see through the facade of life

If ignorance is bliss than intelligence must

be torture.. Or at least it seems this way at

times in the eyes of a highly sensitive INFJ.

Now, it’s not necessarily book smarts that allows

this introverted type to see through the matrix

of the so-called ‘American dream’, but rather

their strong intuitive instincts. Most INFJ

HSPs can probably recall a few childhood memories

where they didn’t accept the meaning of things at

face value, such as religious stories for example.

While everyone around them acts as if they truly

understand how and why certain religious stories

came about, INFJ HSPs are left feeling unsettled

which they figure probably can’t be answered.

This struggle goes for much more than religion

however, in fact, most highly sensitive HSPs find

difficulty in conforming to things like the

9-5 job concept and questionable gender roles.

any situation that involves suffering. Similar to

the reasons behind their hesitancy to dive into

worldly issues, the highly sensitive INFJ can feel

the suffering of others as if it is their own.

Whether it's everyday real life scenarios such as

being incredibly moved by the words written on the

sign in the hands of a less fortunate panhandler

or actively feeling the feelings of characters

in the movie they’re watching - INFJ HSPs find

themselves consumed in the emotional aspect

of all suffering. They’re mind automatically

resorts to placing themselves in other people’s

shoes, to fully understand the emotion from

their perspective. This can definitely be

a good thing when surrounded by positive energy,

however, tragedy and immorality can definitely

make this trait incredibly difficult at times..

Which brings us to the next INFJ HSP difficulty..

We have to remember, people did not choose the

INF HSP life, the INFJ HSP life chose them. And

although it’s not that the highly sensitive INFJ

doesn’t eventually learn to use their unique

empathetic and delicate nature to their benefit..

But when they're stuck in a situation where they

really need to turn off their energy-absorbing

tendencies, and can’t.. All of a sudden these

intuitive gifts seem like a true nightmare. For

the INFJ HSP, they not only have to carry around

their own deep feelings, but that of others around

them. If their spouse comes home stressed, they

will automatically begin feeling stressed also -

even if their day was going just fine. It’s not

only exhausting, but it can certainly be annoying

to feel out of control of their own emotions.

however, some are able to feel suffering to the

point of experiencing pain in areas of their

getting hurt. Also known as a physical empath,

some people with this sensitive personality

type can expect things like pain in their

temples when beside someone complaining about

a migraine, for example. Yet, aside from that,

highly sensitive INFJs can become so consumed

by the stress of others that they begin to

feel the physical symptoms of stress as a result.

In fact, this tendency to take on physical stress

is one of the main factors that make setting

boundaries for this type so crucial. Tying into..

cutting off contact with intrusive family members,

or leaving seemingly enjoyable relationships..

The highly sensitive INFJ is forced to maintain

their mental and emotional sanity by making

sure their immediate surroundings are in line with

their energy at all times. In fact, most INFJ HSPs

learn this lesson the hard way, usually by getting

taken advantage of for their natural care-taking

empathy a few times here and there through

adolescence and early-adulthood. Mature INFJ HSP’s

will make some of the hardest and unexplainable

decisions for the sake of proper boundary setting.

While it may not always be understandable from

the outside looking in, they usually have a method

behind their madness - and it’s almost always to

maintain their mental and emotional equilibrium.

social life if they tried? Well, although

high sensitivity comes with a spectrum, where

no 2 high sensitive INFJs are the same - every

INFJ HSP requires a substantial amount of R & R

to optimally function and feel like themselves.

For most people with this personality type,

after a long week of involuntary socialization

seems obscure, as they’ve been waiting patiently

for their peace and quiet in solitude. However,

even though this type enjoys their alone time,

it’s not like they necessarily choose to be

this way. In fact, being in high-reception

mode day in and day out, constantly absorbing

the energy and information of everything around

them quite literally requires energy. If they

spend their time with uplifting people however,

they may have a fighting chance at achieving

that balance of human connection and solitude.

Speaking of finding that perfect balance of human

connection and solitude, this sensitive introvert

can resort to complete isolation when in need

of a break from their involuntary empathetic

duties. The accumulation of emotional, mental, and

physical emotions that most INFJ HSPs experience

can all come to a halt when they distance

themselves from all contributors. However,

this defense mechanism can feel so relieving

that it can be difficult to step back into the

real world. With most of their symptoms and

difficulties being automatically overlooked

and not taken seriously, sometimes this highly

sensitive type can feel most like themselves in

the presence of nobody but themselves - and

that comfort can become awfully addicting.

How The Infj Empath Deals With Worldly Injustices

How The Infj Empath Deals With Worldly Injustices explores key ideas related to psychology, presented clearly and practically.

Now more than ever, people who consider themselves

INFJ empaths can’t help but to feel a deep sense

of uncertainty and discomfort. Rooted in the

chaotic happenings of today’s world, these

empathetic individuals have a choice to make..

Spiral downwards through fear or ascend with

a deeper understanding of the world around them.

Welcome or welcome back psychos! Today we’re going

to be talking all about the INFJ empath, and how

they deal with the harsh injustices of the world.

Before we get into today’s video, we’d love

it if you liked and subscribe to our channel,

So let’s get right into the video starting with...

Number 1: They look deeper than the surface

Curious and open-minded, the INFJ questions just

about everything that comes their way. They’re

known for not taking things at face value and

because of that, they have a one-up when it comes

to analyzing the difficulties of life, and the

world as a whole. When it comes to worldly issues,

the INFJ empath is able to use their analytical

skills to dive deeper than what they’ve been told

to believe. While it may be scary at times,

especially when they uncover information that

goes against everything they were ever taught

in life, for the INFJ who feels so deeply,

it’s only necessary. They utilize their initial

fear and discomfort that stems from global and

local issues in a positive manner by using it to

encourage themselves to learn more. Without this

simple tendency, the INFJ empath would easily get

overwhelmed by certain collective uncertainties.

INFJ learns while penetrating through the surface

information is to avoid all instilled fear and

propaganda. In other words, they turn off the

news and stop getting consumed by social media’s

views on certain matters. Whether it be lack of

equality, stolen freedoms, or global injustices..

Every INFJ eventually comes to realize that

if someone is making a profit off of a story,

Instead, they take matters into their own hands

by doing their own research in hopes of uncovering

just the facts with no fluff, hence their

need for digging deeper. Which brings us to..

Number 3: They listen to other people’s views

INFJs are curious souls, and nothing intrigues

them more than gaining insights into other’s

perspectives of the world. And while this

intuitive type doesn’t follow any opinion blindly,

they thrive on receiving the most information

about a topic as possible, especially through

the eyes of a fellow human. They want to gauge the

severity and details of the problems in the world

by listening to the very people who are affected

by it, directly or indirectly. Some INFJ empaths

may resort to finding like-minded influencers,

spiritual leaders or reading material that allows

them the proper insight into the information they

need, without the fear-based antics attached. Or,

they may actually ask their friends and family

what their views are on a matter. There’s no

right or wrong answer because the INFJ forms their

opinion based on the many viewpoints they collect.

In fact, listening to genuine opinions from real

people can be a refreshing take when they feel

bombarded by unavoidable media consumption.

No one will ever critique an INFJ for their

thought patterns like the INFJ themselves..

In fact, without the proper personal boundaries

set in place, the INFJ empath can get so consumed

in worldly injustices and unfairness that

they themselves begin to wonder if they’re

overreacting.. Yet, once an empathetic INFJ

has reached the conclusion that they feel

so deeply for a reason, they can actively

ignore this critical voice once and for all.

INFJs have the option to either use their

uneasy feelings towards the matter to grow,

or they can listen to that voice and try to

ignore their feelings towards the matter. If

they choose to ignore them, it’s almost guaranteed

that it will eventually lead to emotional burnout

because the underlying fears and sadness don’t go

away. It’s not to say they must solve the issue,

but the mature INFJ empath knows to quiet

that inner critic to follow their hunches.

Number 5: Cautiously avoids catastrophizing

when faced with unfairness in the world. However,

focusing on what-ifs and if-nots often ends up

increasing overall feelings of stress and anxiety.

However, the cautious INFJ empath realizes that

they don’t need any additional exaggerations on

current events, especially the what-ifs that are

rooted in fear. And so, when these uncertainties

arise, they can tune into their intuitive sense

fantasy and what is most likely to be true.

Number 6: They resort to shifting their own energy

And for the INFJ empath, this couldn’t be more

true. In fact, being so highly sensitive in

an ever-changing and chaotic world, the INFJ

personality type doesn’t really have a choice

consciousness using their own positivity can make

a difference. They know that if they emanate love,

light and positivity wherever they go, their

infectious energy will have an effect on the

people they meet, or even just pass by. Instead

of wallowing in the negative aspects of things

Number 7: They escape reality with solitude

Even the most experienced INFJ empaths need their

time to hide away when their surroundings become

overwhelming. The main difference between the

unstable INFJ empath and their more experienced

counterpart is in the way they allow themselves

their alone time, without guilt, ill-feelings

or self-criticisms. Rather than beating themselves

up over not putting a plan into action of how they

themselves can help the injustices.. Mature INFJ

empaths know that sometimes going within is much

more influential than the latter. They understand

that if they become consumed in the issue, then

they ultimately lose the battle by allowing fear

to override their own needs and desires. However,

solitude can be a rather addicting place to

be when there’s a lot going on in the world,

so it’s best when the INFJ empath has a plan of

action. This is when meditations, journaling and

solo physical activity can make all the difference

in their mental and emotional outlook on life.

Number 8: They allow their intuition to run wild

is sit back and tune into their inner compass.

Yes.. the famous introverted intuition function

that is only dominantly utilized by the INFJ

and the INTP personality types. When an INFJ

empath truly allows their intuition to take over

by tuning in and tuning out, anxiety and panic

magically subsides. Even if the INFJ is led to

information that is interpreted as negative,

it can seem less frightening. When they use their

dominant function as intended, they are met with

a peace of mind that makes going through the

roller coaster of human life on this crazy planet

a little more bearable. Plus, if the INFJ is able

to contribute to solving the injustice in any way,

ideas will come from this intuitive place.

yet they have the ability to effortlessly tune

into the thoughts and feelings of other people.

This phenomenon mixed with the INFJ’s auto-pilot

nature of absorbing the emotions of others

ends up making it difficult when it comes to

distinguishing their emotions to that of others.

When an INFJ empath is constantly absorbing the

emotional information of the people around them,

that much more difficult. Yet, an experienced

INFJ empath will eventually learn this concept,

making it easier to face any emotional situation..

Including mass uncertainty. The INFJ empath is

able to use this to their advantage by relating

to and understanding the deep-set emotions

of individuals and the collective as a whole.

an INFJ empath? Let us know in the comments

10 True Infj Fictional Characters The Rarest Personality Type

10 True Infj Fictional Characters The Rarest Personality Type explores key ideas related to psychology, presented clearly and practically.

There’s something inspiring about relating to

a character and their made up personalities.

For the INFJ it can seem all the more special

considering they so often feel misunderstood in

the world. So, which well-known fictional

and how is it noticeable to the audience?

Welcome or welcome back Psych-o! Today we’ll be

Alright, let’s get right into it starting with..

Number 1: Lisa Simpson (From ‘The Simpsons’)

Starting with the well known Simpson character,

world and a drive to go against the grain,

this Lisa Simpson shows numerous aspects of

the INFJ personality type that sets her apart

from the rest of the Simpson characters. Easily

known to be the most intelligent of her family,

Lisa uses her introverted intuition to come up

with family solutions in multiple episodes yet

her extraverted feeling drives her to sometimes

be overly pushy about her morals and beliefs,

especially when surrounded by a family who doesn’t

relate to her thinking patterns. She is constantly

concerned about her direction in life and it

tends to be a recurring story within the show

that Lisa is trying to find a new path in life.

Extremely curious and open minded, with the

underlying essence of empathy and kindness, this

creative sax player is the epitome of an INFJ

Atticus Finch (From ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’)

With an INFJs deep need for harmony within their

close relationships and also within society, they

tend to care deeply about social justice issues.

Atticus Finch shows this stereotypical INFJ

trait and so many others throughout the book. His

compassion and risk-taking actions of defending

an innocent black man of raping a white woman in

the 1930s says a lot about the empathy and need to

help that every INFJ experiences throughout life.

including from the shoes of the prisoner, which

drives him to put his life on the line in order

to achieve justice. He sees the bigger picture of

the scenario, which allows him to easily overlook

the assumptions of those around him and then push

forward with a calm and non-violent approach.

A classic Atticus Finch quote says it all:

“You never really understand a person until you

consider things from his point of view..until

you climb in his skin and walk around in it”

Number 3: Pi Patel (From ‘The Life Of Pi’)

One word that could easily sum up the character

of Pi Patel would be nothing other than sheer

curiosity. In the movie “the Life Of Pi” the

open-minded and courageous 16 year old boy sets

out to understand the deeper meaning of the world

around him after a tragic event. From zoology

to religion, his mind is flooded with questions

and ideals that he feels called to answer. He

clearly uses all 4 main functions of the INFJ

throughout his journey, allowing him to easily

identify with other people, while falling in

love with a variety of religions. He is drawn

to the power and beauty behind each religion

he encounters which ultimately keeps him alive

throughout his 227 days on the Ocean. His faith in

something better for the future also contributes

to the fact that after the series of unfortunate

events he encountered, he still persevered

with barely any logical reasons to do so.

Number 4: Sam Winchester (From ‘Supernatural’)

The reluctant hunter of supernatural darkness,

Sam Winchester projects multiple INFJ idealistic

and intelligent characteristics throughout the

“supernatural” film. With the innate ability to

make seamless connections and insights proves

to be valuable in the fight against evil, yet

the classic INFJ empathy still presents itself..

Even when dealing with demons and monsters. He

struggles with his conscience throughout the

movie because of his deep guilt and hesitancy

for killing, however, his brother helps him keep

an eye on the bigger picture of his sacrifices.

With Sam’s strong INFJ intuitive intuition, he

also has the innate ability to show clairvoyant

tendencies and projections of the future before

they happen, ultimately giving him an upper-hand

Sam is normally gentle, kind and protective,

and shows a very interesting perspective of the

battle between an INFJs light and dark side.

Number 5: Lorraine Warren (From ‘The Conjuring’)

Technically based on a real individual, Lorraine

Warren sets out to help people by tapping into

their emotional needs and spiritual difficulties

in the movie “The Conjuring”. She seems to have

a knack for words that allows her to relate

and connect with people who are reluctant

to share their struggles with her. Yet, with

her persistence to go beyond the surface level

of not only the people she talks to in her

profession as a clairvoyant demonologist,

but also of the world around her, she manages

to probe and understand what's underneath the

obvious - a true INFJ characteristic. And

again, stereotypically, Loarriane uses her

intuitive hunches and instincts to scope out

demonic energy without the need for tangible

misunderstood INFJs can relate to. Overall, this

spiritual INFJ healer character shows her true

gift for intuitively understanding people and

connecting the dots to see where problems lie.

Number 6: Remus Lupin (From ‘Harry Potter’)

introspective character featured in most Harry

Potter films, Remus Lupin shows multiple INFJ

characteristics throughout the Harry Potter

Lupin’s title of “professor of defense against

the dark arts” gives him the opportunity to teach

with an individualized approach. He can easily see

what his students don’t realize about themselves

and uses that information to guide his students

behind the scenes rather than in an overbearing or

forceful manner. His INFJ side also shines when it

comes to the paradox of being aware and willing to

stand up for the well-being of others, yet

struggles to stand up for himself at times,

even sacrificing his teaching position because

he wants to protect his students. Overall,

this empathetic INFJ character shows that

passion and human connection can go a long way

for this personality type by using his warmth and

genuinity to set him apart from other professors.

understand and relate to, but when it comes to

the featured INFJ character, Lady Galadriel,

INFJs can feel understood on a whole new level.

The fantasy view of the INFJ becomes apart when

watching the ways of this unique guiding elf. With

deep intuitive abilities that set her apart from

the rest of the elves, she can easily see into

people’s hearts while guessing their motives,

emotions and unique individual potential. Her warm

heart chooses to use this gift to comfort others,

believes that love is simply limitless. A

clear example of this would be her belief

when others struggle to do so, a clear INFJ

tendency to always see the good in others.

With the combination of charm and the ability

bigger picture, Plutarch Heavensbee portrays the

classic characteristics that INFJs in higher power

often emulate. He uses insightful tactics

that others don’t believe he's capable of

in order to create long-term non-violent plans

and strategies that are nothing short of complex

and brilliant. Yet, being an INFJ, of course

this character also shows an empathetic side

that allows him to stay deeply in-tune with people

in order to sense what will and won’t motivate

them. With a knack for words and an undeniable

charisma, this INFJ authority figure seems to

have just the right words to say in any given

situation in order to get people on his side.

Number 9: Amélie (From ‘Amélie’ The Movie)

talking about INFJs most relatable movies,

Amélie is an imaginative yet isolated child who

flourishes into an introverted young woman with an

backed by a strong sense of justice. It’s

to this open-minded lead INFJ character, a

circumstance that many INFJ counselor types

can directly identify with. But aside from

Amélie portrays a complex and very realistic inner

fantasy world that she feels so comfortable with

that she struggles to get outside her head

and interact with real people, even though

she desperately craves this connection. If

that doesn’t say INFJ, I don’t know what will!

The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty is exactly that,

a secret life of an INFJ personality type, and all

the important lessons that come with managing it.

With a complex inner world and deep imagination,

seems much more compelling in comparison to real

life. With such a preference for his inner world,

absolutely necessary - a difficult spiral most

INFJs could relate to at one point or another.

Towards the end of the film this introverted

and imaginative character learns a lesson that

all INFJs learn at one point or another, that

as intriguing as their inner world may seem,

Why The Infj Heyoka Empath Can Seem Rude To Others

Why The Infj Heyoka Empath Can Seem Rude To Others explores key ideas related to psychology, presented clearly and practically.

and a tendency to do things quite opposite

from others, the modern day INFJ heyoka empath

doesn't always communicate to spare feelings,

can seem a little off-putting to some people? And

is it something that should even be considered?

Before we get started, have you liked and

subscribed to our channel? Go ahead.. And

be sure to click the notification bell while

you’re there, so that you never miss a video!

Alright, let’s get right into it starting with..

Anyone with the INFJ personality type who also

identifies with being a modern-day heyoka empath

probably has trouble relating to the INFJ’s

stereotypical feeling-sparing communicative style.

While it’s fair to say that every INFJ has a

certain level of bluntness, the heyoka INFJ

unapologetically tells it like it is. They

don’t mind making people feel uncomfortable

through their mirrored actions and words if it

means that someone may be able to use honest

feedback to better themselves. However, heyoka

honesty isn’t for the faint of heart. In fact,

this seemingly ruthless communicative style acts

to shake people from their emotional hold-ups that

slow them down as individuals, which most INFJs

can easily detect from people. When this bluntness

is accepted with open-mindedness and not shut

down by the defensive ego, it can change someone's

perspective instantly. Yet, if someone isn’t

ready to face their truth, they can become deeply

offended by this empath’s good-willed honesty.

Number 2: They’re focused on the larger picture

When you’re wired to innately focus on the bigger

picture, the smaller details become slightly less

significant. Silly everyday matters that caught-up

humans can become so consumed in barely phase

the INFJ heyoka, because they can see that every

hardship has a blessing or lesson that unravels.

Sure, this deeper understanding may save them

from a lot of temporary inner turmoil, but when

it comes to communicating with others, this INFJ

heyoka trait can seem like nothing but dismissive

or even arrogant behavior. When this mirroring

empath pokes fun at people’s minor inconveniences

like being stuck in traffic or spilling coffee

on a new blouse for example, all they’re trying

to do is enlighten others to laugh it off. Yet,

in the heat of the moment, snarky remarks and

even humorous words of encouragement can be the

last thing to truly set someone off - ironically,

leaving them to wallow in the frustration that

they caused themselves in the first place.

is their unique way of presenting to others how

they choose to present themselves in the world.

With introverted intuition and innate empathy

and ultimately uses that to subconsciously mirror

it back to them. It’s like they’re walking karma,

giving people a taste of their own medicine right

before their eyes. And so, people who choose to

only put good out into the world are more likely

to perceive the INFJ heyoka as a kind-hearted,

helpful spirit that we all know and love the

INFJ for being. Someone who chooses to put out

negativity, selfishness and control, however, may

have a different view of this type of INFJ empath.

Besides their use of jarring words and frank

honesty, the heyoka INFJ empath sees more to

an individual than most people do. What makes

them tick is finding out what makes others tick,

and why some people don’t tick at all. And so,

they spend a great deal of time analyzing and

observing people from afar; a classic INFJ

tendency. Intuitively, INFJ heyokas who have

taken the time to develop these talents are able

to see past the smiles and auto-pilot responses of

people, with a look into their deep-seated wounds

and unhealed traumas they’ve experienced in life.

Sometimes these unacknowledged wounds are so

obvious to this infj empath that they can’t help

to get nosey. They may ask some thought provoking

questions, or even resort to requesting personal

information that is ultimately none of their

business. To some people, this risky bravery and

interest can be quite flattering, allowing

for some much-needed insight to be brought

to their attention. And to other people..

well.. It’s fair to say it doesn’t go over

as well as the INFJ intended. Not only does this

challenge people’s vulnerability, but it can be

extremely off-putting to know that your traumas

are so noticeable from the outside looking in.

A lot of people claim that if they only had

persistent encouragement towards their goals,

that they would probably have better chances at

achieving them. Just like how a fitness coach can

help you lose weight, or how persistently showing

up for classes can earn you a university degree.

But what about having a persistent voice in your

life that wants you to become the best version of

you. Someone that, despite your insecurities,

Well, it’s not as nice as it may sound. In

fact, although most of us want to achieve

the highest form of ourselves, being challenged

on your habits, behaviors and thinking patterns

can be a true soul-shaking experience. And that

is exactly how it can feel when you’ve caught

the attention of an INFJ heyoka. While it may be

difficult, offensive and uncomfortable to endure,

if an INFJ heyoka is being persistent with

their lessons, it’s actually their way of saying

they see so much potential they can’t stand to

let you continue on their path of mediocrity.

Every INFJ heyoka empath goes through several

awakening processes as they advance through

their adolescence and adulthood that allow

them to see through the constructs of reality.

They understand the ripple effects of our

thoughts, words and actions, and how it ultimately

all comes back into their experience. And so,

while they may serve their empathetic nature

well by being able to effectively absorb and

reflect the feelings of others, it’s not to say

that they always have sympathy for stupidity

or intentional self destruction. While INFJs

are known for giving undeserving sympathy and the

benefit of the doubt, the Heyoka INFJ can clearly

see the difference between someone who is trying

despite their hardships and someone who sees

themselves as a victim to life’s circumstances.

This makes their opinions and observations of

behavior quite different to other empaths.

Surprise, surprise.. An INFJ who needs their

space, who would’ve thought. The INFJ heyoka

empath is no different when it comes to the amount

of R & R that’s required to maintain optimal

sanity. And it’s no less difficult explaining this

need to other people for this blunt type either.

In fact, you don’t really have to be considered

a Heyoka INFJ per se to know how offensive this

need for solitude can be for people who really

put the effort into spending time with you.

Whether it’s romantic or platonic, every Heyoka

INFJ can probably think of a time that they had

to choose disappointing someone else in order to

maintain mental equilibrium. Since feeling so much

emotion coming from their outer environment can

be so taxing, heyoka INFJs often prefer solitude,

even though their gifts are best used in social

situations. Yet, it’s never easy to communicate,

and often requires a few misunderstandings

Number 8: They won’t hesitate to door slam

INFJ heyokas have the power to turn people’s world

upside down, more particularly in their eyes,

right side up. Like other INFJ empaths, the

intuitive heyoka joker will spend any amount

of time it takes spoon-feeding their wisdom

to someone that they deem truly deserves it.

They’ll take every approach and use every

for good. Take advantage of the INFJ heyoka,

however, and you’ll see a door-slam like you’ve

never seen one before. Since the INFJ heyoka

literally reflect people’s energies back to them

as we mentioned before, they’re able to use the

dark and narcissistic ways of manipulators to

not only cut off all contact with little notice,

but also teach them a long overdue lesson

along the way. They’ll use the same behaviors

and manipulation tactics in a more obvious and

humorous way in order to show the other person how

obvious and ridiculous their behavior really is.

empath and what do you do to seem less offensive?

famous INFJ comes with their own mission,

Alright, let's jump right into it by starting with

the philosophical psychologist and philanthropist

influential work documented in anthropology,

archaeology, literature, philosophy, psychology,

and various religious studies, Carl concludes that

“Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside,

awakes.” and that “In all chaos there is a cosmos,

in all disorder a secret order.” Afterall,

Jung was known to use tools like mediations

to the point of using his imaginative abilities

to slip into a hallucinatory state at will.

Luckily, not all of this psychiatrist’s view’s

were so deep. He also said “As far as we can

discern, the sole purpose of human existence is

to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.”

A perfect example of how through all the complex

thinking that goes in the mind of an INFJ,

all that really matters to them is that there’s

Number 2: Speaking of kindness, what about

the famous children's author who is known

for giving away so much of their earnings that

they passed up their self-made billionaire title.

If you guessed JK Rowling, famous author of the

Harry Potter series, you are absolutely correct.

A self-proclaimed INFJ with the reputation

to prove it, this successful fantasy writer

didn’t get her fame and fortune right from

the start. In fact, according to Rowling,

“Some failure in life is inevitable. It is

impossible to live without failing at something,

unless you live so cautiously that you might

as well not have lived at all — in which case,

you fail by default.” That sounds like a clip

right from the inner banter of the INFJs logical

side and their perfectionistic imagination.

INFJs have to often remind themselves that

they can’t plan things right to the last detail,

but that their imagination is incredibly powerful

with no expectations attached. JK Rowling summed

this up perfectly by saying.. “Unlike any other

creature on this planet, humans can learn

and understand, without having experienced.

They can think themselves into other people’s

places. We do not need magic to change the world,

we carry all the power we need inside ourselves

already: we have the power to imagine better.”

Number 3: When it comes to making a change in

the world, there's nothing that stopped INFJ

Martin Luther King Junior from shaking people’s

realizations. With the drive of empathy, common

sense and the belief that things can change MLK is

known for saying “Love is the only force capable

of transforming an enemy into a friend.” and

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light

can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love

can do that.” With courageous inspirational words

and nonviolent protests, this transformative

INFJ and his actions are the perfect example

of the sacrifices it takes when you can’t

bare to accept inequality, toxic hierarchy

and mass acceptance of human indecency. In the

end, Kind was striving for a perfect society,

just conversation. Or more simply put in his own

words: "Peace if possible; truth at all costs."

Number 4: On the topic of mass historical

MLK isn’t the only documented INFJ to have

made a serious mark. With the belief that

“You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is

an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty,

the ocean does not become dirty.” Mahatma Gandhi

became a lawyer, an anti-colonial nationalist and

a political ethicist to eventually inspire civil

rights and freedom movements across the world.

Of course, the drive behind these mass movements

can be explained through his famous quote “Be the

change you wish to see in the world.” As that’s

exactly what he went and did quite literally.

However, without the much needed INFJ balance to

carry him through, there wouldn’t have been much

progress made. Because afterall, especially for

the INFJ.. “Happiness is when what you think,

what you say, and what you do are in harmony.”

Number 5: And another INFJ activist that has made

her mark on freedom and equality movements, is

none other than Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, American

diplomat, and activist. Roosevelt believed that

“We gain strength, and courage, and confidence

by each experience in which we really stop to

look fear in the face… we must do that which we

think we cannot.” Which is probably what drove

her to seek support for World War 2 refugees

and affirm the right to education, shelter and

medical care. Amidst some of the toughest times

in American history, Eleanor shone a light and

brought empathy and care out from the darkness.

She taught everyone to “Never allow a person to

tell you no who doesn’t have the power to say

yes.” and to “ Do one thing everyday that scares

you” And maybe with those simple pieces of advice,

there's no better advice for INFJ’s to live by

than by this very quote from a true INFJ himself.

“People respond in accordance to how you relate

to them. If you approach them on the basis of

violence, that’s how they’ll react. But if

you say, ‘We want peace, we want stability,’

contribute towards the progress of our society.”

INFJ Nelson Mandela - who is considered the father

of Modern South Africe due to his anti-apartheid

revolution and political leading - put his

abilities of relating to others and changing his

attitude to best adapt to different walks of life,

to use. With his people-person skills and the

power to fight injustice, Nelson claimed he “..

learned that courage was not the absence of fear,

but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he

who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that

fear.” and in the end, according to Nelson,

“It always seems impossible until it’s done.”

give the world the best you’ve got anyway.”

became a household name due to the many acts

of kindness and activism she was known for

throughout her life. Mother Teresa showed

and the exact opposite of greed. With the belief

that “Work without love is slavery,” and “A

life not lived for others is not a life.” if you

look at all of this INFJ’s humanitarian efforts,

the motivation behind her generosity is clear.

Between educating the poorest or the poor, feeding

the homeless and providing safe spaces for the

forgotten, Mother Teresa's main goal was to give

every ounce of love outwards in order to that love

within. Because, according to this inspirational

woman.. “The hunger for love is much more

difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.”

Number 8: Last but not least we’re going to

be discussing an influential INFJ known for

her primatologist and anthropologist actions.

Choosing a considerably taboo career of studying

wild chimpanzees, there's no question whether or

not this INFJ followed her own path and didn’t

follow society's expectations. Could you take

a wild guess at who we’re talking about? If you

guessed INFJ Jane Goodall you’re exactly right!

Animal conservation icon and animal activist

Jane showed compassion, empathy and selflessness

With the unwavering belief that “Every individual

matters. Every individual has a role to play.

Every individual makes a difference..” Jane

has claimed “The least I can do is speak out

for those who cannot speak for themselves.” But

best of all, Jane learned through her years that

although she chose the road less traveled, nothing

can be done with sheer solitude and independence.

In a past interview Jane has claimed “ I’ve had

an extraordinary journey through my 84 years.

It’s something I could never have imagined when

I was young and during the journey many people

have supported me. We can’t do it alone. It’s

really important to build our friendships.”

How The Contradictory Infj Personality Is Both Uptight & Easy Going

How The Contradictory Infj Personality Is Both Uptight & Easy Going explores key ideas related to psychology, presented clearly and practically.

The walking contradiction INFJ personality

type is considered both kind yet blunt, reserved

yet social, but more specifically, every INFJ

holds the opposing demeanor of being both

easy going and seemingly uptight in some ways.

Of course, they don’t intentionally project

these opposing qualities, and luckily most

people are completely oblivious to these countered

But how is it that they can in fact be both?

Before we get into it, we’d love it if you

Number 1: The clash between their inner and

The first and most obvious reason the contradictory

INFJ is able to be both uptight and seemingly

easy-going is the difference between their

at-times chaotic inner world and their harmonious

With introverted intuition as their most dominant

function, INFJs are naturally equipped with

an elaborate inner world, one of constant

problem solving, future-projecting, and observation.

However, it’s not always easy experiencing

such an influx of inner thoughts, and since

there is no escape or off button, these thoughts

In comparison to their outer world in which

for the most part, INFJs are able to keep

cool, calm and collected, their inner conversations

and worries can feel quite controlling and

In fact, some INFJs even claim feeling too

controlled by their inner thoughts, leaving

little room for the spontaneity that life

Of course, this isn’t always apparent from

the outside looking in, but if someone sticks

around long enough for an INFJ to feel fully

comfortable around them, they’ll begin to

see the inner chaos and structure that goes

Number 2: Their uptight demeanor only becomes

They say you never really know the INFJ fully

And that takes a considerable amount of time,

vulnerability and trust in order to get there.

So.. what exactly does the INFJ have to hide?

Are they really as passive and peaceful as

they seem when they’re in the real world?

INFJs have a hidden side to them, a seemingly

darker side, and it all stems from this inner

Now, it’s not to say that INFJs are consciously

putting on a front when in the general public,

own minds, and the company of their closest

And in doing so, their deeper thoughts and

Feelings of being overwhelmed, overworked,

and uncertain are very real for this personality

type, and only a few lucky ones get to witness

So, while they’re able to actively tailor

their vibes and emotions to best match whoever

they’re surrounded by, as soon as they’re

able to be themselves, it’s as if the thoughts

they’ve subconsciously concealed are projected

Their inner complaints and judgements become

apparent, and their so-called breezy demeanor

Number 3: They don’t force influence, but

Depending on who the INFJ is dealing with,

sometimes it doesn't take a close relationship

for people to see their uptight and stubborn

This is because while INFJs love to inspire

others to be the best versions of themselves,

they rarely push their values and ideas on

others due to the understanding that what

works for them may not work for everyone.

They try to work with people on their level,

and even then, if someone isn’t interested

in their personal opinion they have no problem

So, in this sense, the INFJ personality type

can seem rather easy-going and non-judgmental.

However, if someone tries to push their views

upon the INFJ with complete disregard as to

how their views clash with the INFJs precious

morals..they’ll see a side to this personality

In fact, there's nothing that urks an INFJ

more than close-minded people telling them

that the way they view things is inherently

And it can be even more frustrating because

most of the time, this introspective type

doesn't even have the words to describe their

individual, they may become noticeably uneasy

Using short remarks and facial expressions

that show their discomfort in hopes that these

unwilling to participate in an opposing narrative.

Number 4: They’re calm when certain things

Organization, predictable outcomes and stable

surroundings are just a few of the things

that most INFJs need to feel properly balanced

However, if these things are jeopardized,

as they so often are with the unforeseeable

aspects of life, this otherwise calm and centered

Sure, everyone goes through times when they

feel like life has it out for them, but for

the highly sensitive INFJ, it doesn’t necessarily

need to reach this point for them to feel

Sometimes they can get overwhelmed and uptight

over the smallest things, and it’s usually

mental energy, but it can also happen in times

bombarded when they know they need a recharge,

INFJs have no choice but to control their

environment to avoid mentally blowing a gasket.

It can seem harsh and unexpected in the moment,

but when you’re constantly absorbing surrounding

energies, solving countless problems, and

being the go-to person for other people’s

mental sake, taking control can be the healthiest

In other words, INFJs wouldn’t be able to

be their easy-going selves if they didn’t

Number 5: They can easily be the calm to the

Sometimes, an INFJs calm demeanor is all an

Sometimes they don’t want to seem bothered

because they don’t want others to have that

bothered in order to bring a sense of calmness

Usually, INFJs aren’t affected by certain

information and situations as others may be

because of their sense of deep understanding..

And this is one of the main reasons people

feel so drawn to the wise energy of the INFJ

However, there comes a time in every INFJs

life where they are in fact completely thrown

off by life's unexpected twists and turns,

yet they act unbothered because that’s what

they’re used to, and that’s what’s expected

even have a chance..so they act as that anchor

to avoid any further chaotic feelings that

But aside from that, sometimes it just takes

a little longer for the INFJ to really process

They use their autopilot lack of reaction

and empathy to weather the storm in the moment,

only to feel deeply disturbed by what has

Number 6: They don’t communicate their boundaries

INFJs can easily let things go for the sake

They choose to be unbothered because sometimes

So, they come off as mellow and placid to

others, even though they know they’re not

completely accepting of the issue at hand.

Yet, in spite of this natural tendency, sometimes

avoiding communication in a particular manner

only ends up wreaking havoc in the future.

This habit is mostly pertaining to their relationships

and obligations such as work and parenting.

Overtime, INFJs may maintain that harmony

they long for on the surface, but on the inside

their uncommunicated boundaries become the

end-all-be-all, leaving them with no choice

but to communicate every disappointment they’ve

buried all at once, much to the surprise of

For example, an INFJ may passively or jokingly

express their bothersome feelings to their

romantic partner only to remain confused as

to why their partner isn’t making any changes..

Eventually they’ll find themselves feeling

seriously uptight and on-edge about these

minor inconveniences, projecting an out-of-character

energy that they were trying to avoid all

Number 7: They become a little more easy-going

Like most people experience, there are times

in life where you need to be a little more

controlling, and then there's times when you

can kick your feet back and let things flow.

For the INFJ, the flow they long for usually

Life and future-planning is taken very seriously

They want to know their purpose, who they’re

be with, and how to avoid the unavoidable.

the right track in life, and this can pose

some seriously uptight viewpoints and self

But, as life goes on, INFJs learn to sit back

idea that life isn’t meant to be thoroughly

planned, and they don’t have to be so fixated

Older INFJs allow themselves to be a little

more playful with less expectations..and that’s

when their easy-going, harmonious outer world

becomes intune with their inner world, something

So, if you’re an INFJ yourself, would you

consider yourself more uptight than easy-going
