8 Traits Of A Highly Sensitive Infj Personality Type

8 Traits Of A Highly Sensitive Infj Personality Type explores key ideas related to psychology, presented clearly and practically.



While the unique traits and characteristics

of both INFJs and HSPs overlap in many ways,

definitely come up against some challenges

that other INFJs don’t in their everyday lives.

Welcome or welcome back Psych-o! Today we’ll be

talking about the 8 traits of the highly sensitive

INFJ. Before we start, have you liked and

Number 1: Mental confusion causing burnout

Living in this fast paced world can be difficult

for all HSPs alike. Because HSPs are much better

at thinking deeply than they are at thinking

quickly, taking in information from multiple

directions can be extremely overwhelming. Most

INFJs share this HSP characteristic, however,

for highly sensitive INFJs in particular,

this mental confusion can cause them to shut

down and even make them feel physically sick.

For example, most HSP INFJs know that in order for

them to feel comfortable in a social situation,

they usually need to do some type of mental

preparation in terms of needing to know who

is going to be there, where the location is, what

will be offered for food and so forth - this is

because they want the least amount of mental

processing as possible once they get there.

For the same reason HSP INFJs have difficulties

living in the fast paced world we all call home,

anti-social in certain types of environments.

It’s fair to say that all INFJs would most likely

prefer to enjoy a weekend at home than at a loud

music festival, but for a highly sensitive INFJ,

large gatherings like this could drain them of

their social battery in the matter of minutes.

and social stimuli. So this means, bright

lights, loud music, conversations, smells,

visuals and even substances can have a major

effect on the highly sensitive INFJ. However,

music festivals are on the extreme end - as simple

environments like bright shopping malls, loud

offices, and even busy highways can also wreak

havoc on this personality type’s nervous system.

they are misunderstood, as it’s rare for them to

feel completely understood in most circumstances.

However, when a highly sensitive INFJ begins

talking about how they feel physically ill

when watching a violent movie scene, or that

they feel completely drained and exhausted

after an hour or 2 of socializing with friends,

it can definitely make people wonder if they’re

because having high sensitivity can often be

perceived as seeming weak or overly emotional.

By not fitting into the societal expectations of

the masculinity image, highly sensitive infj men

often hide this incredible gift in fear of being

ridiculed. When in reality, HSPs experience life

much more deeply than the rest of the population,

Number 4: Overactive nervous system responses

An overactive nervous system can show in many

different ways, however, when it comes to the

responses of the HSP nervous system they can be

especially overwhelming. Since INFJs use their

introverted intuition as their most dominant

function, they are familiar with using their gut

feelings in order to make decisions. However,

for highly sensitive INFJs, these gut feelings and

intuitive hunches aren’t your simple “butterflies

in the stomach” sensation. Instead, the high

sensitivity causes intense waves of emotions

and the physical feelings that accompany them.

For example, if an HSP INFJ feels like they’re on

the wrong career path, they can feel overwhelming

primal sensations of feeling sick to the stomach,

experiencing intense headaches, muscle pains, and

wanting to drop everything and flee the scene.

When the intuition of an HSP INFJ knows something,

it’ll make the necessary bodily sensations

so that their message comes across clearly.

Number 5: Hangriness and caffeine sensitivity

When looking into the different types of HSP

personalities, some people experience more

emotional sensitivity, while others experience

more physical sensitivities.. and then there are

people that experience food sensitivities.

Although we’re not talking about allergies

here today, sometimes certain foods can cause a

major effect on the overactive nervous system of

highly sensitive people. So, if you’re an INFJ who

experiences crazy jitters after one cup of coffee,

a major crash a few hours after that coffee,

and unpredictable swings in your energy and

mood throughout the day, you may be a highly

sensitive INFJ afterall. While the human body

does an amazing job at stabilizing our energy

throughout the day, HSPs are known to experience

intense effects when it comes to hungriness and

their food choices. Remember, every feeling

is amplified for highly sensitive individuals,

so a simple grumbling stomach can throw off

distracting causing hunger like no other.

There’s no doubt that the INFJ has an inner world

that most of us would love to live in for a day.

While it can be a little chaotic, the INFJ has an

incredibly complex inner world with fairytale-like

fantasies and introspective insights on the world.

So, it’s no wonder why they would spend a

good amount of their hours in their heads.

However, for an HSP INFJ, it’s not so easy.

reality can almost be seen as a constant annoying

distraction to what’s going on internally. INFJs

need a good amount of time in their heads everyday

in order to properly process information, however,

they also need some sort of socialization. So

this can cause issues for a highly sensitive INFJ

who may resort to complete anti-socialism.

outer environments and are usually keen on

spending quality time with no one but themselves.

Since INFJs have a short social battery life,

it’s not unlikely for them to require a good

amount of rest, relaxation and recharging

in order to fully feel like themselves. Well,

the same goes with highly sensitive INFJs,

just on a slightly larger scale. In fact, since

HSP INFJs are even more sensitive to the emotions

and energies of the people around them, they

tend to be affected on a much deeper scale.

When they are around happy, up beat people, they

can absorb that feeling but can quickly become

drained by all the energy it takes to keep up. And

on the flipside, they can easily become dragged

down by lower-vibration people, also causing them

to exhaust their energy. In other words, because

the HSP INFJ is so easily affected by outer

stimuli, they require much more rest and recharge

time alone in comparison to the average INFJ.

Number 8: An overwhelming reaction to beauty

Highly sensitive people are known to experience

a different type of appreciation and profoundness

when it comes to the beautiful things in life.

In fact, most INFJs also share this trait once

they get out of their over analytical heads

and take the moment for what it is. Nature,

fine art, unique people - to name a few, INFJ

HSPs can easily find themselves mesmerized by

can literally feel the joy and euphoria of a

new romantic connection between 2 strangers,

and the beauty of someone with a completely

unique clothing style. Not only are these

highly sensitive INFJs able to see the true beauty

in things, but they can actually find themselves

being completely distracted by them. For example,

it can be difficult to have a full conversation

with this personality type while enjoying a

nature walk in the forest because they are

usually fully immersed in the soothing sounds of

the leaves, the patterns of the bark on the trees,

the feeling of the roots under their feet,

and the feeling of the warm sun on their face.
