8 Reasons Why Infjs Hate Being Corrected

8 Reasons Why Infjs Hate Being Corrected explores key ideas related to psychology, presented clearly and practically.



Sensitive to criticisms and perfectionistic, it

can be fair to say that INFJs aren’t exactly keen

on being told when and where they went wrong.

It’s fair to say that nobody particularly enjoys

being corrected in their actions, however

INFJs have a few unique reasons as to why

they have a problem with it, especially because

they’re usually quite open to outer opinions.

Welcome or welcome back PSYCH-Os! Today’s video

is all about why the INFJ hates being corrected.

Number 1: The one-size-fits-all corrections

The INFJ personality type can easily see multiple

angles of every situation. Yes, they have their

own opinions, but they rarely judge others for

the opinions they hold because they understand

that not everyone has had the same experiences and

lessons in life. Even when they strongly disagree

with someone, the INFJ always tries to understand

why the person thinks the way they do rather than

automatically resorting to explaining why they

think they’re wrong. So, when someone attempts to

correct an INFJ for their beliefs, they can’t help

but to question how they can’t see this factor.

When the person correcting an INFJ hasn’t taken

the time to see the other side of the story,

And still an INFJ will try to consider their

that they’re considered to be both feelers

and logical thinkers. So, rather than relying

heavily on either their dream world or their

to combine the two in their decision making

process. However, some people don’t have this

so-called yin and yang way of thinking. Some

personality types actually can’t fathom using

intuitive feelings and philosophical beliefs

lacking the more sensibile role that allows them

to bring their creative thoughts into fruition.

And so, when the INFJ is being corrected on their

rather theoretical or meta-physical viewpoints

they can’t help but to think that some people

are really missing out on the bigger picture.

most times they take note not to share their

perceived woo-woo beliefs with that person again.

Number 3: Jumping to quickly to conclusions

Like we mentioned, INFJs are not only able

to see things from multiple perspectives,

They use observed experiences of others, pros and

cons, and intuition to see how certain outcomes

will come about, including each and every aspect

of their belief system. And so, when someone

comes to tell the INFJ that what they think or

want to do in life is ‘wrong’ through judgment

rather than knowledge, it can have the INFJ

person all together. For example, if an INFJ were

to be thinking about moving abroad on their own,

they would certainly consider their loved one’s

opinions on the matter, but if someone were to

conclude that it’s extremely irresponsible and

shouldn’t be done with no basis or reasoning,

you can be sure the INFJ won’t let them in

any further on their decision. Not to mention,

they’d probably use that negative opinion as

fuel to quietly prove them wrong in the future.

With laser vision into people’s characters,

INFJs can see right through hidden agendas

they’ll be able to see if in fact it’s just

a personal problem that an individual has;

Sometimes people resort to nit-picking other’s

perceived flaws and shortcomings in avoidance

of their own much larger problems. And these

larger issues rarely go unnoticed for the INFJ.

Plus, being such a perfectionistic and at

the true power in focusing on yourself rather

than using your energy for criticizing others.

And because of that, they rarely challenge

the other person to do exactly that. Instead,

they usually recognize the underlying hypocrisy

of the correction or suggestion, have a little

inner chuckle and go on doing exactly what

Speaking of being self critical, INFJs know

first hand not only the power in self-awareness

but also when the criticisms get the best of

their mental well-being. As a matter of fact,

as introspective the INFJ is known to be, they are

still one of the main types that tend to struggle

with feelings of not being adequate enough

in certain aspects of life. And so, they’re

known for being one of the more sensitive types

when it comes to criticisms from other people.

Luckily, they’re quite open to hearing other

opinions because if they are wrong, they’re

certainly willing to correct themselves, however

it all comes down to the delivery of information.

INFJs despise being talked down to or perceived

as inefficient because no matter how much other

people struggle, they would do whatever it

takes to avoid making them feel less than.

and the criticisms are constructive rather than

being felt like an order or the but of the joke,

respect and courage it took to correct them.

Number 6: They have their own ways of doing things

Untraditional and constantly thinking outside of

the box, INFJs usually end up finding easier or

more time-efficient ways of doing things. With

a fine mix of procrastination and perfectionism

at the forefront of their work ethic, they’re

always thinking of ways to get things done

admired, however, when it comes to traditional,

rule-abiding environments, these qualities are not

taken very lightly and can sometimes be perceived

as rooted in a rebellious nature..rebellious

And so, when an INFJ doesn’t see the logic

in maintaining the traditional ways of doing

things and are encouraged to accept the fact that

‘that’s the way it’s always been done’, they can

end up feeling super frustrated. An example

of this would be counting the cash register

every hour for documentation, even when there

hasn’t been any customers in the last 2 hours.

Or having to attend mandatory weekly meetings

when there’s absolutely nothing new to discuss.

When efficiency and logic aren’t a part of

the correction, INFJs will probably check out.

wrap their heads around, however, at least

there's some type of reasoning behind it. Yet,

when it comes to things like correcting people on

a minor misuse of words when you knew exactly what

they were trying to get across, they can’t help

but to think “seriously?” Being so analytical,

INFJs almost never miss an observation of other

people’s hiccups in language, punctuation or

embarrassing gestures, but they would never point

it out. They’re there for the bigger picture,

the information that’s contained within the minor

human-errors. And since they’re also there to get

the rapidly pooling information out of their

own minds in the least confusing way possible,

they’re bound to make their own mistakes as well.

Having these pointed out when it really doesn’t

help the situation in the slightest only makes the

INFJ think of the other person as small-minded.

Everyone has something to say and advice to

be given, because in the end, us humans often

think we’re right. And because INFJs are known

for being the advocates and the advice givers,

some may say they have a good understanding of

what is said to be good and bad advice. One thing

that INFJs pride their advice-giving skills on is

that they don’t give matter of fact suggestions

for people to do with their lives, instead

they strive to open their minds creating new

perspectives and possible ‘ah-ha’ moments for them

to ride on. Another thing INFJs will always ensure

is that the other person is confiding in them for

advice rather than feeling chased down and judged

by their empathetic guidance. This is because

as good of advice INFJs can give, they know in

the back of their minds that they have no clue how

that person is actually feeling in the situation,

and it would be foolish to assume so. And so, if

someone has a strong opinion about how an INFJ

is managing a particular personal struggle without

having been in the exact situation themselves, the

INFJ can’t take it seriously.. Especially if they

didn’t ask for their opinion in the first place.
