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.
