7 Reasons The Infj Rubs People The Wrong Way

7 Reasons The Infj Rubs People The Wrong Way explores key ideas related to psychology, presented clearly and practically.



Despite their inner caring, empathetic and

nurturing nature, INFJs aren’t everyones cup

of tea. With a reluctance to open up about

themselves and a deeply imaginative thought

process, some people can’t quite figure the INFJ

out. But how does it get to the point of rubbing

people the wrong way? Well.. that’s exactly

what we’re going to discuss in today’s video!

Welcome or welcome back Psych-o! Before we start,

INFJs need boundaries to effectively use their

empathic and intuitive functions.. But they’re

boundaries to the people that they affect.

In fact, sometimes it’s not until the heat of

the moment where an INFJ clues in that they’re

are some major boundaries that need to be set.

For example, if an INFJ finds themselves in a new

found relationship with someone who likes to show

public displays of affection such as kissing and

cuddling in public, instead of communicating that

they don’t enjoy it, they may just become distant,

This can make it considerably difficult for people

closest to the INFJ when it comes to knowing when

they’re overstepping these invisible boundaries.

And if it goes on for long enough, unfortunately

the consequence results in the people in an

INFJs life feeling as though they’re walking on

eggshells - never knowing when one might crunch!

With deep observations and endless analyzing

being two of the INFJ’s favorite past times,

anyone that has been around an INFJ can probably

say they’ve witnessed their analyzing-tendencies

in action. Yet, sometimes it can be taken

the wrong way.. Especially when someone is

the main focal point of their observation. In

fact, if you don’t know an INFJ well enough,

this deep analysis can look a lot like silent

judgment. The classic INFJ stare, for example, can

easily be misunderstood for negative intentions.

When in reality being observed by the INFJ should

be taken as a compliment, as the INFJ is only

drawn to people that they want to know more about.

And although most INFJs do have strong opinions

on matters, they are also deeply imaginative and

open-minded - meaning they always give people the

benefit of the doubt before making any judgments.

tendencies, the INFJ tends to carry themselves

with a reserved and mysterious demeanor that

can definitely make some people uncomfortable.

Although this seemingly peculiar behavior

much insight into who they are as people.

Unlike more extraverted types, the INFJ keeps

a lot of their inner thoughts and feelings to

themselves. They don’t need to share their

insights to know how interesting they are.

And so, to avoid misunderstandings they often

linger in the background of social scenarios

and keep to themselves. Yet unfortunately this

can make them seem like they’re up to no good or

just really not enjoying the company.. Which

may or may not be true - no judgment here INFJs!

You’re probably thinking “Why would wanting to

help make other people uncomfortable?”.. Well,

in a world of give and take, most people can’t

fathom the fact that INFJs actually get a thrill

out of lending a hand. For example, when it comes

to careers, INFJs usually opt for something

that helps humanity in one way or another,

with the money coming as a secondary reward.

right! Who would turn down a higher paying job to

help humanity?”.. Well my friends, INFJs.. INFJs

would. Yet, to some people, they may think

INFJs only claim to want to help others to

make them seem like good people, or maybe to

win some brownie points in a job interview.

In reality, however, this is a quality that INFJs

almost don’t have the option to overlook. While

they can understand the attraction to money, their

empathetic nature drives them to need some type of

emotional reward that money can’t provide.

A reward that most people can go without.

Speaking of walking on eggshells, INFJs are prone

to sudden shifts in their frame of mind when under

high-stress. Although they’re usually able to work

under pressure, when there’s too much expected of

them they can easily fall into their mood-swinging

ways. With extraverted sensing in particular, when

someone with the INFJ personality type is already

feeling burnt out, they can find that their mood

is a direct product of their environment. And as a

result, this lack of control over their mood and

high sensitivity to their surroundings can make

them seem extremely conditional and unpredictable

to the people around them. They can seem more

sensitive to criticisms, other people’s energies,

outer stimuli and changes of plans, than their use

to. Try to cheer an INFJ up in their low times and

you can easily expect a very uncharacteristic cold

shoulder or a brief reply hinting they want

to be left alone. This side of the INFJ that

usually only emerges when they’re stressed can

be seriously surprising for people to witness,

and can definitely rub them the wrong way.

INFJs can sometimes seem to play the role of

the guru nobody really asked for. Of course,

there are other personality types that actually

admire the INFJs ability to deep dive into the

likes to take most things. Especially when it

comes to conspiracies, spirituality, taboo topics,

unpopular opinions, controversial and personal

matters - some personality types tend to look

at the INFJ’s viewpoints as woo-woo or even

irrelevant. But, it’s not just that. In fact,

intimidating for certain types of people,

making them feel uncomfortable and vulnerable.

Well.. it’s not everyday that you’re challenged to

talk about the ulterior motives of the government

or the concept of humans being formed from stars..

Number 7: Wanting to know more about people

“So.. what was your childhood like?” Odd question?

Not to the INFJ! Speaking of deep-diving into

topics, there’s nothing an INFJ loves more than

getting to know what makes someone tick. Yet, when

you’re the topic of conversation, there’s no doubt

it can get a little uncomfortable for some people.

Especially when considering the fact that INFJs

are so reluctant to open up about themselves

in the first place, when they’re interested

in getting to know someone on a deeper level,

people uncomfortable. Of course, INFJs have their

ways of avoiding coming off as too overbearing or

intrusive, but some people don’t want to be the

centre of attention at all. And as a result, some

people may think the INFJ is reading them on a

level that they don’t even quite know themselves;

They may question why the INFJ wants to know

such things, and what benefit they get out

of it because of their inability to relate

have you ever rubbed someone the wrong way?
