Alright, let’s get right into it, starting with..
Number 1: They’re a wolf in sheep’s clothing
Yes, just like most other personality types, the
INFJ does in fact have a side that they rarely
let out for others to see. They have a darker
side that lends its light to all the good the
INFJ portrays on the surface. However, due to
their unassuming nature, this other aspect of
the INFJ type has given them the reputation of
seeming like a wolf in sheep's clothing. Sure,
due to their complex thought patterns and their
ability to consciously and subconsciously connect
disposition, they’re known for their witty dark
sense of humor, their mad scientist-like ideas,
worst of this clever type. This is the side
to blame in the rare instances that the INFJ
lashes out, seeks revenge, or becomes overly
defensive or bluntly rude. This is the side
that emerges when the INFJ is overwhelmed,
overworked, or taken advantage of for too
long. In a sense, this darkside can be seen
as their defensive mechanism, but that doesn’t
make it any easier for others to understand.
With no choice but to swap out their genuine
personality for others in hopes to seamlessly
blend in with fellow humans, the INFJ type
has the reputation of being a little fake.
they have a habit of using their chameleon-like
trait of adapting to others’ energies in order to
make those around them feel most comfortable.
In addition to wanting to gain others’ trust,
INFJs also have a deep-rooted fear of being
misunderstood. When they're not “wearing”
another personality, they tend to come across as
quite dull around those they don’t know. With so
much going on behind the scenes, and a hesitancy
to share their thoughts and ideas with others,
the surface-level INFJ can easily be overlooked.
So, while their attempts at making conversations
with others in a people-pleasing manner may
seem a little ingenuine or make them come
across as too agreeable at times, it’s all this
personality type has ever known. Not to mention,
once their defensive wall is broken down, their
true personality is worth waiting around for.
Number 3: Being too idealistic and critical
Fussy and finicky aren’t exactly terms that the
INFJ themselves would consider themselves to be..
However, with their notorious idealistic nature
and their need to have things done their own way,
it’s not far fetched for others to consider them
to have these seemingly negative qualities. In
fact, those who know an INFJ personally may find
it nearly impossible to please them to the degree
they hope to. Whether it’s surprising them with a
gift, sharing good news, or cooking them a meal,
person, their honesty shines a light into
just how idealistic they are in their own heads.
INFJs know they can be harshly critical at times,
and it’s not exactly something they’re the
most proud of. Luckily, they try their best
to keep their critiques to themselves, and as
a result, often have a great ingenuine reaction
to things they’re actually not 100% pleased
with. Yet, when it comes to their own lives,
stand up for how perfect they want things.
Free-spirited at heart, there’s no doubt that the
INFJ personality type has a genuine need for alone
time to recharge their batteries. They not only
enjoy solo activities and feel reluctant to spend
too much time with others, but they also pride
themselves in their ability to do things on their
own, with little-to-no dependence on those around
them. They love to feel and be viewed as capable,
even if it means taking on far more than they
can handle. However, while this introverted
type is able to convince most people that this
independence is nothing more than a preference,
some can see right through it. In fact, it’s
in their stubborn unwillingness to accept help,
support or even simple friendship, that the
INFJ creates a reputation of being overly
guarded. Although each and every INFJ has
their own reasons for being so untrusting
Being cautious is necessary for this type to
protect their empathic abilities, however,
when the INFJ approaches their independence in
a way of remaining permanently closed-off to
the possibility of accepting connection, they
scare off not only those with ill-intentions,
Speaking of the INFJ’s independence and reserved
nature, those who don’t know an INFJ personally
will easily see them as snobbish. Infamous for
their dead-pan expressions and their judgy looks,
the INFJ’s need to constantly observe their
surroundings overrides their obligation to
seem approachable. Despite being overly interested
in what others are doing, saying and how they’re
feeling, INFJs come across as being completely
disinterested. Their body language usually gives
an automatic false impression that they’re better
than everyone around them with a self-absorbed,
egotistical mentality. While it’s true that
INFJs usually can’t quite relate to others in
this judgment isn’t necessarily made through a
sense of hierarchy. They find small-talk mundane,
and quickly lose interest in everyday conversation
about the weather or the latest sale which makes
underwhelming, and at times non-existent.
Known for their otherwise caring and helpful
demeanor, this empathetic type has a certain
calculative approach when it comes to shutting
necessary people out of their lives. You see,
when the INFJ reaches a certain breaking point,
there’s something that switches within them. Known
for their door slamming and their reputation
of walking away from certain connections with
no emotions attached, it’s sometimes hard to
believe just how much the INFJ is actually
affected. INFJs subconsciously take on the
emotions and feelings of everyone around them,
matching the energy of those they spend the
most time with. And with this incredible power,
comes a clear sense of when to draw the line
to protect their own precious energy. So,
while their actions may look cold in the process,
the INFJ will give anyone a fair chance at proving
themselves of meeting the minimal expectations
they set out, but once an INFJ has decided you’re
not worth the energy exchange, don’t be surprised
if you get the boot out of their lives for good.
Rooted in the dark side of their personality,
which we discussed previously, this personality
type doesn’t do this to hurt the other person, but
rather uses it as a last resort defense mechanism.
With the level of emotional maturity that most
INFJs possess, it’s not to say that they’re not
they rarely express their feelings in forms of
anger or aggression, they have their own way of
letting those around them know that they’re not
in the frame of mind to entertain. Despite their
extroverted feeling function that causes them to
be much more intune with the emotions of others
in comparison to the feelings they’re experiencing
internally, INFJs know when they’re not being the
most friendly. Whether someone said something
wrong, or they’re just having an off day,
INFJs only make it apparent that something is
bothering them when they don’t want to put on
an act. Since they’re so good at bottling
an INFJ’s moodiness is their way of communicating
without words. In fact, it’s once their moodiness
has subsided that the INFJ would attempt to openly
discuss what was bothering them. A moody INFJ is
an INFJ that needs some R&R and alone time
to sift through their feelings and recharge.
