Are All Infjs Considered Indecisive explores key ideas related to psychology, presented clearly and practically.
With unmatched determination and perseverance
INFJs can be truly ambitious in the decisions they
make in life. Yet still, most INFJs can attest
that while they may feel decisive on the inside,
that’s not always how they’re always perceived by
Welcome or welcome back psychos! Today we’re
going to be discussing exactly that.. why the INFJ
seems so indecisive at times. Before we get into

So let’s get right into the video starting with...
Sometimes, INFJs know exactly what they want to
say but struggle with finding a caring way to
say it. For the sake of kindness and maintaining
harmony, INFJs avoid sharing what’s on their mind,
but because of this sometimes it can make them
seem unsettled in their conclusion. Especially
when it comes to criticisms, opposing viewpoints
and turning down plans, this empathetic type can
feel seriously distressed if they say something
wrong and someone gets upset about it. In fact,
sometimes they rather not say anything at
the pot. For example, if an INFJ is invited
out somewhere, instead of blatantly stating
they’re not interested or busy, the INFJ may beat
around the bush by saying things like “Well.. I
may have plans that evening, but i’ll get in
touch with them to see if they’re still on”.
Sure, this may not be a problem at the start,
but INFJs can keep this going right up until the
planned occasion, with a clear knowing that they
don’t want to attend. In fact, this type often
subconsciously relies on disassertive answers in
hopes of not seeming too decisive. For example,
they’ll say things like “I don’t think I’m
going to come” or “I’m not sure if i’ll be
able to make it tonight”. When in reality, they
know they don’t want to come and they are sure
If there’s anyone that knows how deeply people’s
actions affect others around them it would be
the typical INFJ observer. Speaking about their
empathetic nature in relation to their decision
making skills, INFJs won’t make any conclusions
that they haven’t evaluated to the fullest. This
includes how that decision will ultimately affect
others. It’s not necessarily about being polite
in this case but rather rooted in the importance
INFJs place on their contribution to the world.
This innate altruistic notion allows the INFJ to
truly thrive when their actions result in positive
change, but it also makes decision-making that
much more meaningful and as a result, a little
more difficult. So, they ponder, plan, and prepare
with everyone’s best interest in mind. This can be
a crucial family decision, or even the basis
in which they start a business or project.
on the INFJ’s decision-making skills for being
the most fair and unbiased. However, when this
independent type is challenged to put their own
needs first, indecisiveness can reach a whole
new level. Which brings us to our next point..
Number 3: The fight between logic and intuition
With a deep knowledge of the inner workings of
not only humanity but also humans as individuals,

viewpoints using both their logic and intuition.
And while this dual understanding of most
things can certainly be used to their advantage,
sometimes INFJs can find themselves stuck
Of course, being predominantly intuitive,
naturally, INFJs have a tendency to trust
their own judgment and follow their own guts,
but this doesn’t mean they don’t second guess
this intuitive mysterious compass. In fact, some
people with this introverted intuitive type can
be easily persuaded into doubting their powerful
gift due to their sensitivity and self-criticisms.
The tricky thing about relying on introverted
intuition is that INFJs have no choice but
to follow it blindly. The destination of an
intuitive decision is revealed as time goes on,
meanwhile the destination of a logical decision
can be much more predictable. For example, while
it may seem more logical to keep the unfulfilling
job they’re at in order to pay bills, INFJs may be
met with an unshakable intuitive hunch to quit and
look for something else. Security vs. uncertainty.
It may seem irrational from the outside looking
in, but when the INFJ finally does make a move,
Number 4: Getting lost in the bigger picture
Speaking about taking that intuitive leap.. INFJs
must get their heads out of the clouds and take
action! If only it were that easy. On the topic of
introverted intuition, the INFJ is almost always
either absorbing new information or reflecting
on the information they've already stored.
and deeper understandings into how everything
is intertwined. This means that their inner
world of thoughts is where the INFJ prefers to
be..and that's anything we dind’t already know.
But, how does this big picture view really
affect their decision making skills? Well,
as helpful as this function may be for exploring
new information and predicting future outcomes,
it can just as easily cause the INFJ to become
isolated in their thoughts, making it a serious
struggle to take action in the outside world.
Sometimes it’s not a matter of the INFJ deciding
whether or not they should do something, but
rather when they’re actually going to do it.
Now, it’s not to say that INFJ’s are all talk,
because most of the time they won’t share an idea
unless they’re ready to take action on it.
But internally, this sense of indecisiveness
is mostly rooted in an overwhelming outlook
on the smaller details. They can see all the
ways in which it can and will work, but are met
with extreme hesitancy to take that first step.
But once they finally plant their feet firmly on
their ground, there's ultimately no stopping them!
INFJs are undoubtedly perfectionstic by nature.
They have a keen eye for detail and can easily
grasp what is expected of them. However, when
it comes time to make decisions based on this
perfectionsitic notion, it can seem almost
impossible. Since they want to avoid failures
at all costs, INFJs may actually find themselves
avoiding situations that require them to challenge
their weaknesses. For example, situations
like leaving an unfulfilling relationship
when there are children involved can leave an
INFJ almost paralyzed in their decision-making
the fact that they have to cause disruption
in the harmony they’ve worked so hard for,
or without hurting other people’s feelings,
they may avoid making the decision entirely.
Although they can see almost every outcome through
their ruminating thoughts and pattern-connecting
skills, the perfectionism INFJs experience makes
these outcomes appear very black and white.
Like there's an option they have yet to think of
that will save them from making a messy decision,
once an INFJ really does commit to something,
you can be sure they’re not backing down.
But at the end of the day, you may just be
less sure of yourself than you’d like to admit.
and they know what they don’t want, but nothing
could be further from the truth. In fact,
this paradoxical type may even surprise themselves
at how right an ‘out-of-character decision’ can
feel. They’re curious to find out what life has
to offer and they’re picky when it comes to what
and who they allow in. So, in order to live the
elaborate life they desire to live, INFJs have a
lot of decisions to make, and a lot of things to
consider within those decisions. At their best,
INFJs have enough willpower and conviction to
follow through with their ideas and make assertive
decisions along the way. At their worst, an INFJ
will procrastinate, doubt themselves, or become
overwhelmed before concluding. And sometimes
they may decide to not decide at all, allowing
the natural ebb and flow of life to launch
them where they’re mean to go, or they decide
Alrighty PSYCH-Os, that’s it for today. So.. would
you consider the INFJ personality type indecisive
