Alright, lets jump right into it starting with:
it’s be careful of who you spend your time with.
Unfortunately it’s much easier said than done
(being the empathetic and caring type they’re
known to be), however, it comes to a point of
choosing your own mental sanity over that of
someone else. INFJs love to learn what makes
certain people tick, but some people can easily
sense this and use it to their own advantage,
with little concern as to how it affects the
INFJ overall. Energy vampires will zap the
mental and emotional energy that INFJs try so
hard to maintain, and sometimes this source of
exhaustion isn’t so obvious. So, to the INFJs who
are serious about thriving in their environment
and moving towards personal success, you must
learn to turn a deaf ear to those who come with
issues that other people aren’t willing to deal
with. The weak will automatically be drawn to the
listeners and advice givers, but you need to know
when it’s time to surround yourself with people of
the same mental frequency rather than desperately
trying to raise people up to their level.
Ask any INFJ if they feel certain that where
they are in life is where they’re supposed to be,
and you’ll be met with some serious doubt. Even
the most content and theoretically balanced INFJ
will find aspects of their life that they’re
not exactly sure about. With a mix of idealizing
tendencies and lone-wolf curiosity, this desire
for something more or something different
is never ending. So what’s the trick to not
getting too caught up in desire-confusion?
Stop trying to find that ideal path. We get
it, this may burst some bubbles, but it’s
crucial for INFJs to know that they’re meant to
experience life through many different facets.
It’s normal to love some aspects of certain
continuously fine-tune our environment to feel
the most comfortable and true to ourselves, and
it’s not something to be ashamed about. So, for
the younger INFJs who are confused with schooling,
to continue experimenting with the idea of
developing yourself rather than finding that ideal
mix. Pursue what you authentically want and value.
Some personality types reach a point of feeling
so content with where they are in their lives that
their motivation to continue learning dwindles
into nothingness. INFJs are guilty of this too,
happiness on a different level than most.
general can seem extremely dull when there's
nothing new to dive into and experience. In
fact, when there's nothing new and exciting,
INFJs can quickly fall into a dark despair of
trying to dig deeper in the things they already
know..things that don’t really need looking
into. For example, when there's nothing new,
ins and outs of their romantic partnership,
friendships, parenting style, career choice,
or any other sector in life; overthinking how
and where it could be better, when in reality
it’s perfectly balanced just the way it is.
So, follow those hunches to learn something
new and always have some sort of side project
that is intended solely for personal growth
and experience. Maybe it’s time to learn a
new language, travel to a new country, start a new
sport or even try a new genre of reading material.
This piece of advice is simple, but it may seem
a little self-centered in the eyes of people that
don’t understand how easy it is for the INFJ
to put their own needs on the back burner.
Let’s just say, each INFJ must learn to be
more selfish with their decisions in life in
order to be happy, and there’s no way around that.
Luckily, an INFJ’s needs and wants are usually far
from being self-absorbed. This personality
how their actions affect those around them, and
it only becomes toxic when they can't use this
judgment to their own advantage. Some INFJs can
end up living their whole lives for other people,
completely voluntarily, because they get a sense
of accomplishment that they can’t find elsewhere.
end up feeling stuck within their own lives,
It’s a sad reality that most INFJs learn the hard
way.. Not everyone has the same morals and values
as their introspective selves, and that’s okay.
A lot of INFJs can get rather disappointed or
even depressed in life when they realize the
depth of immorality of the world and the systems
placed upon our civilization. Despite their deep
understanding of other people’s motives, sometimes
there’s no explanation for such delusional
thinking and evilness. And although it would be
easiest to live and let live, most INFJs can get
wrapped up in the idea that people who lack morals
probably just need some light in their life,
in order to put things into proper perspective.
INFJs need to understand that some people don’t
need or want saving, nor are they willing to
change the way they do things. Therefore,
is to distance themselves from that reality by
surrounding themselves with people and things
that align with their views. It’s a hard pill
to swallow, but denial doesn’t help anyone.
Some INFJs just need a reminder that they
blend into society more than they probably
but most of the time it’s in your head. Growing
up, some INFJs compare themselves to the rather
socially inclined friends they have and begin
to wonder why they don’t feel like mingling or
“Am I really that awkward?” or “What kind of
human gets uncomfortable when conversing with
their own species”.. Well, we’re here to tell you
that your desire for solitude doesn't necessarily
stem from being awkward; and that when you choose
to socialize, you have the natural ability to be
more captivating and understanding than most
people. So.. ditch the idea that you’re some
strange alien from another planet. Sure, you
may be a re-incarnated extraterrestrial, but
in this life you are human..and you blend in with
your fellow humans just enough to keep your place.
Adulthood is overwhelming for everyone, not just
the INFJ. Every type can get to a point where they
feel absolutely lost without a clue as to what
their next step should be in life, and it can
be pretty scary to say the least. For the INFJ
who is known for their future-focused thinking,
it can be difficult to incorporate all the
requirements they set out for themselves when
calculating their next move. “How happy will I
be” “Will I regret my decision” “Will I upset my
friends and family” “Will it make me enough money
to do the things I love” “Do I even need to make
money to live the life I want” “Will my mental
health suffer”, and the list goes on.. INFJs
not only get caught up in finding their ideal path
in life, but in doing so, they forget who they are
in the process. And so, sometimes backpedaling can
serve to be more beneficial than thinking anew.
What did you naturally gravitate towards as a
child? Did you like working with your hands? Did
you like teaching others? Or maybe you enjoyed
being in front of a camera? Your inner child
will always bring happiness, because in the end
it’s only you before the world made it’s impact.
And they’re probably right. In relation to the
hope most INFJs have in finding that ideal path,
it becomes even more difficult when they’re
pressured by society to fit a certain mold. With
an interest in the deeper, more complex aspects
of life, surface-level societal constructs can
zap the motivation of an INFJ entirely. In
fact, if an INFJ remains in an environment
that they don’t feel comfortable in for too long,
they can eventually spiral down the dark hole of
INFJ burnout and begin relying on their shadow
functions to manage.. And let’s just say,
no INFJ wants to be in that head space. And so,
the best advice to avoid getting stuck in these
aware of the skills you most enjoy using,
in the environments you prefer. For example, if
you enjoy a quaint and quiet work environment,
a job on a construction site may not be for
you..don’t kid yourself because of the pay cheque!
