Alright, let’s get right into it starting with..
One of the best qualities of the INFJ personality
type has to be their genuine concern for the
growth and well-being of others. Especially when
it comes to an INFJs closest friends and family,
and beyond to ensure their needs are met.
In fact, INFJs naturally see the best potential
in their friends, and are able to use their
bigger picture view to provide unbiased advice
and encouragement - only to watch them flourish
into the best versions of themselves. The INFJ
best friend is the ultimate cheerleader - never
getting jealous or envious of their friend’s
achievements, because they see their best friend’s
as an extension of themselves. When their closest
people are doing well, the INFJ feels at peace.
While they may be expert-disguisers of their
clingy nature, when the INFJ begins to truly value
something or someone with their entire being,
they can naturally feel possessive. Especially
when it comes to friendships and relationships
in an INFJ’s younger years, when the INFJ
best friend or partner finally feels like
they can just be themselves with someone they
genuinely trust - they tend to stay weary of
potential interferences until proven otherwise.
And so, contradictory to their ghosting nature,
unnecessarily bothered should it seem like
their friends are dodging their texts. They
can get into a head space of ruminating and
questioning whether or not they did something
wrong, when in reality there’s no hard feelings.
Number 3: They require a great deal of alone time
Like we said.. INFJs have this contradicting
and not wanting to completely isolate themselves
from the world. In fact, the balance between
the two is one of this personality type’s
biggest struggles, especially when it comes
to maintaining friendships. Ironically, INFJs
are actually the ones known to occasionally
dodge texts for days at a time, forget to return
phone calls and voicemails, and sometimes even
cancel plans at the last minute - mostly because
of their naturally introverted nature. So,
if a friend is looking for reliable communication
and hangouts for days-on-end, the INFJ definitely
overlooked. But in our opinion, their loyalty, big
Not to be creepy, but INFJs just simply don’t
open up like they encourage others to do.
Call it hypocritical, but naturally, INFJs
INFJ relationships.. including friendships,
they usually know more about others than others
know about them. Of course, it won’t always seem
that way, in fact, most friends of people
with the INFJ personality type would claim
they know them quite well, little do they
know, there’s lots to be uncovered. Luckily,
time and patience will eventually peel back
the layers of the true inner INFJ personality,
yet they won’t open up to just anyone. As a
matter of fact, that’s one of the main reasons
the INFJ values the concept of quality over
quantity when it comes to long term friendships.
Some INFJs may be rather skeptical of the concept
of having a true best friend in their lives,
especially if they’ve never really experienced it.
In fact, even for the INFJ who has a bestfriend
or 2 of their own, most people with this type
can’t fathom the idea of ever getting along with
someone as well as they do with the friends they
already have. And so, no matter what angle the
INFJ comes from, they can be quite reluctant
to the idea of new incomers, intruders and
possible friend-group expansions. In an INFJ’s
eyes, going out for coffee with a best friend
is very different from going out for coffee with
a best friend and that bestfriend’s new coworker.
Aside from their uneasy feelings towards changed
plans, this introverted type just knows they won’t
be able to be their true selves around someone
they’ve yet to fully analyze and understand.
So, sometimes it’s usually easier to avoid
Number 6: They’re in it for the long haul
Similar to the INFJ dating life, this passionate
personality type isn’t up for the idea of
one-night flings or half-hearted friendships.
For any relationship the INFJ truly cherishes,
raw emotion and some sign of commitment in order
for their subconscious emotional guard to slowly
lower - allowing them to trust that the connection
is authentic. Since relationship-building takes
time it comes as no surprise that the INFJ may
be reluctant to remain open to new connections,
Although INFJs have an uncanny ability to see most
situations from multiple angles, they still end up
having quite strong opinions about the way things
‘should’ go in life. And with strong views comes a
seemingly judgmental nature - yet, it couldn’t be
further from the truth when it comes to an INFJs
advice to their best friends. Like we mentioned,
INFJs see everyone’s greatest potential. And while
that allows them to overlook the potential
flaws and mistakes of others, they have a
tendency to want to help solve or fix things
that seem unideal in the lives of people they
meet. With their introverted intuition allowing
them an insight into possible future outcomes,
they may be able to see how certain choices
could unfold for their friends. And, as a result,
they may feel it’s up to them to change it. This
can come off as being over analytical, critical
and even unaccepting of their personal choices
- when in reality, they're just trying to help!
Aside from the many reasons the advocate INFJ
makes for a great best friend, the most common
claim of fellow bestfriends to this type is
their admirable balance of logical wisdom
and caring empathy. This desirable mix of head
and heart allows the INFJ best friend to not only
ability to forgive and overlook the roadblocks
that come with any close human connection.
They don’t tolerate pettiness, ignorance, ulterior
motives, or selfishness in their friendships,
and their intuitive nature helps in the weeding
of these qualities out of their lives. And for
the friends that make the cut, INFJs can act
as the true role model and support system
some people need in their lives.. All they
ask for in return is a genuine connection.
