don’t know how to explain it properly, they’ll

keep their imaginative findings to themselves.

Later in this developmental stage, the INFJ

begins to introduce their secondary function,

extraverted feeling. As they step outside of their

own little worlds, the curious infj child begins

to look outside of themselves for new information

and substance for their imagination. By slowly

learning to navigate the outside world, these two

main functions work together as the INFJ slowly

forms and expresses their own judgments. Yet,

without the development of their third function,

information. This can make the INFJ pre-teen come

They start to realize the importance of their

empathy and sensitivity when it comes to their

deep-set compassion for humanity, and because

of that, they may begin to feel a little more

extraverted in their overall character. In fact,

it’s around this time in life that the INFJ truly

surprises themselves in their outgoing nature,

even when looking back once they reach adulthood.

It’s also around this time that INFJs begin

to open their eyes to the short-comings of the

world around them. They become increasingly

sensitive to the injustices of the world,

Phase 3 - INFJ Early Adulthood (Ages 20-35)

By the time the INFJ has reached their early

Not only do they begin to become their own person,

but it’s around this time that INFJs develop

their boundary-setting skills as they become more

critical of their previous people-pleasing habits.

Depending on the INFJ, these realizations may

happen early in their twenties, or later on in

their thirties; but when they do happen, the

people around the INFJ can definitely be taken

by surprise. In fact, once this empathetic

type has reached a certain level of maturity,

their new found determination for autonomy can

even end up offending the people around them.

This is especially true for INFJs that find

themselves ending one-sided or emotionally abusive

relationships during this time period. Although

it’s extremely challenging and out of character,

once the INFJ realizes the strength and power

in their empathic gifts, they can’t help but

to take the appropriate measures to protect their

energy. However, it’s a slippery slope according

to personality type Author Dr. A.J. Drenth who

claims that right around an INFJ’s 20s-30s,

maturity to reach it. Leading us right into the

final stage of the INFJ cognitive development..

Phase Number 4: INFJ Adulthood (Ages 35 and up)

Now, of course all time frames vary from person

to person, and for this final development phase,

sometimes it’s not reached until much later

in life. In fact, some sources say that the

more stubborn INFJs never fully engage with this

stage in their cognitive evolution. And that's the

deeper understanding and integration of their

inferior function extraverted sensing. Like we

said, extraverted sensing can be difficult for

an INFJ to use to their advantage when they’re

first getting used to it because of the influx of

information they experience at all times. Although

most types end up getting more introverted as

they get older, the INFJ can reach a point that

they actually get a little unsettled when simply

relying on their imagination and day-to-day life.

Once this intuitive type is able to actively

integrate their extraverted sensing properly,

they actually enjoy the company of others in the

sense that they don’t have the strong independent

pull that they once did. At some point, all

INFJs long for is to interact with the world

a new exercise regimen or a craft of some sort,

this perfectionistic type can be met with a

new found sense of detail-oriented sensing. In

hobbies with full attentiveness and without

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

Things like disagreements and sharing difficult

news are challenging for just about anyone. By

triggering an irritating discomfort within us,

it’s fair to want to alleviate that uneasiness

as fast as possible. And while some people

are quick to try and solve this uneasiness

through more communication, sometimes it’s

best to take some time and give some space

to everyone involved. Well, at least that’s what

the INFJ would say. Whether the situation becomes

heated or not, processing and decompressing

are extremely necessary for the INFJ to be

able to come back with effective communication

and attentiveness. Without this required space,

they won’t be clear-minded enough to approach

the situation rationally. In fact, with their

mind going a thousand miles a minute, INFJs are

likely to shut down completely without getting

to the bottom of what the discussion was really

about. And while this space is sometimes entirely

necessary, there are certain communication styles

that allow the INFJ to process and effectively

communicate in real-time, but it takes a special

person and special patience on the other end.

almost always keep their distance in one way or

another. They require ample amounts of alone time,

no matter how much they value their current

connection. Luckily, once a friend or partner

has had the time to figure out the INFJ’s need

for temporary isolation, it’s not difficult

to pick up their cues. While it may start off

with the INFJ verbally communicating this need,

even in the most unpredictable times, it usually

becomes a second nature to those that spend enough

time with the INFJ. This is especially true

in joint-living situations where the INFJ is

challenged to share their valued time and space

with another individual. Although the INFJ isn’t

always able to explain why they need space, or

what they plan to do with their desired alone

time, it’s in the respectful non-questioning

of another that the INFJ feels safe to do so.

expected, or leaving the house for a few hours

the self-made pressure to explain themselves.

Whether they’ve notoriously taken on more than

they should have due to their self-criticism,

time of life that requires every angle of

their focus and patience, when the INFJ says

they’re too busy to make plans, they usually

mean it. In these overwhelming times, it's best

to not add one more thing to their to-do list,

or to guilt them into the fact that they seem to

never make time for other people. Even if it’s

not external commitments that they’re balancing,

sometimes the INFJ can become overburdened with

self-improvement or their continuous attempt to

get back to a healthy equilibrium. Whatever it is,

when the INFJ is noticeably overwhelmed, the

only appropriate approach would be to offer a

legitimate solution or to lend a hand. However,

even if you show up with this helpful attitude,

don’t be offended if the INFJ stubbornly refuses

help while insisting on doing it themselves.

Notorious for their door slamming tactic to

abruptly shutting out toxic relationships,

this sudden and painful approach isn’t always

the case. Whether they’ve outgrown a connection,

decided to focus on themselves, or simply

don’t have the same feelings they once did,

sometimes the INFJ feels the need to distance

themselves from their current relationships.

And while it’s of course painful on both ends,

and may cause their now ex to feel compelled

they have better chances of the connection

continuing if the INFJ is just left with their

thoughts. Yes, the INFJ wants to feel wanted,

and does appreciate when their partner is able

to effectively communicate how they’re feeling,

but once it’s all said and done, INFJs need

decision. If the INFJ is bombarded by another

person’s emotions in times of self-reflection,

they can easily become overwhelmed resulting

in rash, and sometimes regrettable decisions.

However, when they’re able to effectively process

their thoughts, past memories, and focus on their

own emotions, there’s a good chance they’ll get in

touch with the love they hold for that individual.

On the opposite spectrum, it’s a good idea to

give the INFJ space when a new relationship has

just emerged. Actually, aside from the fact

that this personality type is easily scared

away by early signs of clinginess and dependence,

there’s nothing that makes the INFJ’s heart grow

fonder than a healthy amount of distance at the

beginning stages. Just like any other experience,

the INFJ requires an ample amount of time to

process each stage of getting to know someone.

They need time to run through each detail of

their interaction with this potential person,

ponder on their assumptions, and essentially talk

themselves into opening their hearts. Although

the INFJ isn’t fond of playing hard-to-get

games like who can wait longer to text back,

this potential partner or friend bombards

the INFJ with wanting to see them everyday,

it take you so long to reply” card, most INFJs

would promptly run the other way. Ironically,

once the INFJ is happily in a relationship or

friendship, these things aren’t nearly as cringy.

Number 6: When they begin acting out of character

shake the INFJ from their calm and understanding

character. In fact, even in times of upheaval,

INFJs are known to be the ones to keep the peace

while effectively problem solving. However,

it’s not in times of conflict that the INFJ pulls

away from their everyday character, but rather,

when they’ve gone too long ignoring their need

for self-preservation and mental recharging.

Every true INFJ knows first hand just how

and experience-processing is within their lives.

In fact, this intuitive type, more so than other

introverted personality types, actually use

their times of solitude to complete some of

the most crucial processes that their brain

requires to understand the world around them,

and to ultimately grow as individuals. This time

in solitude allows the INFJ to be who they are in

when the necessary withdrawal is ignored for

too long, a whole new INFJ emerges. Defensive

and irritable, the overwhelmed INFJ brain

just can’t process their surroundings and

other people’s feelings like they usually do.

And so, if an INFJ seems overly tired, anxious,

distracted and grouchy, it’s probably best to

suggest they take a little break from life.

For some people, moving cities, changing jobs,

having a baby or starting a new passionate

endeavor may cause them to want to tell anyone and

everyone about this new chapter they’re stepping

into. Likewise, it’s normal for other people

to want to hear all the details of a loved

one’s changing season in life. However, when

it comes to the INFJ turning over a new leaf,

it’s more common to not hear from them for

a while. No matter how tempting it may be to

call them off the hook with the curiosity of how

things are going with their changed way of living,

don’t expect an update until the INFJ has fully

settled into their new surroundings. In fact,

it may not even be due to the fact that they’re

too busy to get around to updating those who are

stuck wondering, but rather that they haven’t

had the mental space to process how things

are indeed going. Without mentally cycling

through each aspect of their new experience,

Oneness.. The state of being unified as a whole,

where all men and nature become one. The gift of

realizing oneness is one of the most profound and

life-changing concepts any person can live by.

For a spiritually awakened INFJ specifically, this

understanding that we are all manifestations of

the same consciousness just adds another tier of

empathy and love for the humans of this earth.

With this recognition, not only is the INFJ able

to more easily forgive and let go of past grudges,

but they also are able to have a deeper level

of sympathy for even the least deserving causes.

and how not everyone is dealt the same hand of

cards in life. Yet, the most important component

of this gift is the aspect of deeper self love and

acceptance. Once the INFJ can remain independent

in life with the understanding that they’re

not too far off from their fellow earthlings,

With a deeper sense of oneness and the potential

to effectively apply that concept into their

day-to-day life, it’s no surprise that the

awakened INFJ is met with profound gratitude for

the world around them. Just as this spiritual gift

gives the INFJ the chance to deeply sympathize

with others, it also gives them a different angle

of appreciation for the people that are genuinely

good in this world. When an INFJ goes through

a spiritual awakening, they’ll be met with

a different perspective of their loved ones,

the people that have helped them in the past,

and even the people that have challenged them to

be the people they are today. But it doesn’t stop

with the people they know. In fact, this deep

inner gratitude encourages the INFJ to begin

noticing the little things in life. Raindrops

dancing on a puddle, the feeling of fresh snow

crunching beneath their feet, or even something as

simple as the sounds of a child’s laughter - this

spiritual gift makes life all that much sweeter.

Call it psychic awareness or call it well-trained

intuition, whatever this higher guidance is to

you, you can bet spiritual awakenings can bring

about a heightened sense of this supernatural

gift. The typical INFJ is mentally wired with

seemingly psychic qualities because of their deep

intuitive thought processes, and their constant

tendency to subconsciously absorb information

through their senses and experiences. However

when it comes to an INFJ who is knowingly

spiritually awakened, this psychic awareness

this spiritual gift allows the INFJ to rely almost

entirely on their continual intuitive nudges.

Whether it’s in the form of an inner voice,

physical instincts, synchornistics, coincidences,

dejavus, or even considerable luck, in conjunction

with manifestation, the awakened INFJ uses their

inner guide to lead them to their dreams and

desires, or atleast to the lessons that will put

them on the right path towards their goals.

Now, this may not be considered a spiritual

however, considering so many people strive

it can truly be felt as a gift for the INFJ. For

this idealistic personality type in particular,

finding a sense of purpose in a world that is

so driven by money, greed and selfishness can be

more than difficult. With empathy and willingness

oozing from every corner of their inner thoughts,

an INFJ who has yet to find themselves spiritually

may feel as if it’s a never ending journey of

discovering what they should be striving for in

life. Yet, once the facade of society’s sense of

purpose is destroyed through spiritual awakening,

the INFJ can finally realize their true potential.

Their eyes are open to the fact that they

were chasing false motives all their lives,

which sparks a new way of perception into

their sense of purpose. With this new sense

of spiritual purpose, the awakened INFJ can begin

searching for relationships, careers and hobbies

Since the INFJ is known for their seemingly

to their need for control and organization - a

spiritually awakened INFJ is able to take a step

back from this controlling nature. In fact, one

of the most impressive of INFJ spiritual gifts is

their intuitive ability to manifest their desires,

allowing them to let life unfold with complete

trust in the outcome. Not only does this strong

sense of trust and acceptance allow for an INFJ to

significantly lower their normally high stress

levels, but it also gives them the control and

power they need in their lives without having to

micromanage every possible factor. This spiritual

gift gives them the freedom to accept life for

what it is, knowing that everything happens for

a reason rather than being in a constant state

of trying to fix things or make them better.

INFJs are dreamers. With a vivid imagination and

elaborate fantasies, this rare type is no stranger

to using their dream world to their advantage.

However, daydreams and night dreams are a

little different to navigate considering we’re

conscious for one and not for the other. When

the INFJ has gone through a spiritual awakening,

they have the ability to utilize both. In fact,

while some researchers claim that dreams are a

look into the subconscious mind, spiritual

teachers claim that dreams are one of the

ways that spirit uses to communicate with us.

They are expressed in symbols and feelings,

sometimes using common objects and familiar

faces from your daily experience to assemble

information. Yet, although these dreams may become

more vivid for the spiritually awakened INFJ,

interpreted. Unfortunately, awakened or not, dream

interpretation requires practice, which is when

keeping a dream journal becomes super beneficial.

Number 7: Empathetic awareness & protection

Extraverted feeling and introverted intuition

can be a challenging combination of functions,

to say the least. With the INFJ specifically

energies and feelings of those around them,

it can be difficult to know when and how to

set boundaries around their empathetic habits.

This makes most people with this type easily feel

overburdened, overwhelmed and ultimately burned

out, with no one to blame but themselves.

An INFJ who has gone through some sort of

soul-shaking awakening however, ends up with

a spiritual gift that allows them to use their

strengthened ability to set boundaries around

their need for helping others. This ultimately

allows the INFJ to be able to utilize their

caring nature at full capacity when necessary,

and take it back when they sense they are being

taken advantage of. They no longer feel obligated

to give in to just anyone that comes looking

for a little empathy, yet it’s not as easy as

it sounds. This type of decision making comes with

a lot of practice, and often many failed attempts,

especially when an INFJ is surrounded by loved

ones who are used to them constantly giving in.

With a deeper sense of oneness, and the ability to

more easily manifest experiences into their lives,

a spiritually awakened INFJ naturally holds

When they can ditch the concept of life being

so difficult to work with, they’re met with the

complete opposite realization. They’re able

to see the true beauty within the world and

the people around them. They can see right

motives of large corporations, injustices

in society, unrealistic beauty standards,

cultural appropriation and the list goes on.

INFJs who have seen the other side of life

aren’t able to go back to their ignorant ways

because you can’t unsee these types of truths.

INFJs are said to have an aura about them that

can be particularly soothing and comfortable to

be around. With an exceptionally calm demeanor,

people who are around the INFJ for long stretches

of time may leave feeling either light and

airy, or deep and introspective - depending

on the conversation that was held. Since INFJs

want to help others realize their potential,

and possibly even areas that need improvement,

it can be difficult for them to know how and

when to communicate their views. However, the

awakened INFJ doesn’t take life as seriously as

their more rigid counterparts, and therefore,

is able to communicate in a way that doesn’t

impose their insecurities on someone else.

Said to be the rarest of all 16 personality types,

considered the black sheep of the family.

With an intuition-led dominant function and

naturally highly imaginative thought processes,

the INFJ learns at an early age that they

hold qualities that their friends and family

can’t relate to. They often feel different

which can end up feeling quite alienating for

this rare type. In fact, the INFJ is born with

a noticeably old-soul mentality that grants them

a greater understanding of certain life concepts,

but these understandings require them to go inward

to keep to themselves. Soin other words, most

INFJ’s grow up to accept that they will always

know their family members on a deeper level

than their family members will ever know them.

Number 2: They feel every bit of household tension

the INFJ carries a responsibility that most

family members fail to recognize. In fact,

aside from this challenging family duty, the

INFJ is also dealt with being a highly sensitive

empathetic type who can’t help but to sense and

absorb the feelings of the people around them.

While this allows the INFJ to understand their

loved one’s emotions on a deeper level in order to

properly meditate, it can also cause some serious

emotional issues should the INFJ be faced with a

chaotic family environment. Actually, at times,

the INFJ can subconsciously take on their family

member’s burdens without really realizing it,

which makes a tense and dispirited home especially

painful for the INFJ to manage. This is one of the

main drivers behind this mediator type’s need for

harmony within their outer environment - which

is the exact reason why they go above and beyond

to maintain the peace within their family unit.

Number 3: Their need for alone time may interfere

It’s a well known fact that this introverted

intuitive type requires a great deal of rest

and recharge time, alone in their solitude-haven.

But how does this affect their position within

a family? Well, since it’s so difficult for an

INFJ to really explain to the people around them

exactly why they require a temporary break

from life without seeming overly-dramatic

members, it can definitely cause some tension.

Whether the INFJ is in the family position

of a parent, partner or sibling - they may

hold back from expressing their needs to avoid

upsetting or burdening their loved ones. However,

if they neglect this need for alone time when

most necessary, they may find themselves being

rather impatient or snappy towards the ones they

love, which they only end up regretting later on.

their energy levels to avoid further tension or

disharmony within their family relationships.

An INFJs understanding and compassionate nature

definitely makes for an amazing family member

that anyone would be happy to have in their lives.

Yet, there are definitely times where this

need to see the best in the people they love

their sibling or family member needs guidance and

support and as a result, they tend to have a very

difficult time keeping to themselves. Of course,

all they want to do is help their loved ones,

even demanding at times. Luckily, because of

their strong analytical nature, eventually,

deliver their advice without seeming intrusive.

For an INFJ who grew up with siblings, they may

feel like their siblings are the only ones who

truly know them inside and out. Of course, taking

into consideration family dynamics and age gaps

between siblings, according to introvertdear.com,

most INFJs are quite close to their brothers and

sisters in adulthood. Since they’re so reluctant

to let their guard down completely in everyday

social scenarios, when an INFJ is surrounded

they can feel a noticeable sense of relaxation and

relief that they can’t find in most relationships.

the birth order theory, the INFJ only child

is extremely rare. Which makes researchers

believe that having siblings through childhood

Number 6: They can seem quite unpredictable

Most INFJs can probably recall a time when they

were told they were thought of as the one with

the most complex behaviour and decision-making

tendencies in the family. With contradictory

habits and elaborate out-of-the-box beliefs,

there’s no doubt the highly imaginative INFJ

brings a different dynamic to family settings.

With a big-pictured view of life and a need to

are called to make decisions in life that

may seem out of character. And..as a result,

conclusion-jumpers may see them as unpredictable;

or even unstable at times, when in reality, the

INFJ feels in complete control of their actions,

analyzing and committing to every direction they

take. What it all comes down to is the fact that

INFJs don’t always know how to (or necessarily

want to) communicate their reasoning behind

their seemingly unpredictable lifestyle, which

just adds to their already mysterious nature.

introspective personality type may compare their

beliefs and ideas to that of their parents and

siblings and eventually realize there’s something

seriously different about the way they see (and

feel) the world around them. As we mentioned,

the INFJ begins to understand early on in life

that they’re quite different from the people,

but when it comes to siblings and family members

that are exposed to the same surroundings and

lessons in childhood, INFJs can get stuck in a

rut of wondering why they are so different from

their family. This is especially true for INFJs

brought up surrounded by overly extroverted or

sensor personality types, for obvious reasons..

INFJs are truly sensitive to overly stimulating

surroundings for long periods of time, yet they

also don’t want to be seen as the person who wants

to leave early or cut the party short. In fact,

one of the INFJs biggest pet peeves is when

attention is drawn to them because of their

sensitive, seemingly melodramatic nature.

Whether it’s family gatherings, celebrations,

obligations, or anything that requires an INFJ

to make an appearance for longer than desired,

they can automatically make this introverted type

feel uneasy. Of course, to remain polite and avoid

conflict, INFJs usually end up biting the bullet

for the remainder of their expected presence.

Yet, once it’s over, you can be sure it will

be a near impossible task to convince them to

go again any time soon! Stubborn? Maybe..

But we’ll just call it “boundary setting”.
