they’ve heard, and their vast worldly views,
most times people’s opinions have very little
Most people don’t consider the unique perspectives
behind each human, meaning their opinions

other people think of them because they’re
afraid of letting people down, or being portrayed

Number 6: Only please your own expectations
But how is an INFJ supposed to follow their
intuition and please everyone in the process?
INFJs need to always remember that life’s
simply too short to dedicate it to pleasing
everyone's expectations and helping everyone
Even the expectations of the ones they love
the most should be taken lightly, and should
never be put above their own goals and desires.

voice, the time it was said, and the context
it was said in, to fabricate a story that
It’s best to stop this overthinking in its
tracks, and try to intentionally replace it
If it’s a compliment, take it for what it
is and stop telling yourself that the other
Number 9: Find a self-respecting role model
Role models have their place beyond childhood
In fact, we all want someone we admire and
can look up to in life, and for the INFJ who
prefers to march to the beat of their own
