Alright, let’s get right into it starting

The thing with INFJ infatuation, in general,

is the fact that although optimistic in love

and connection, their reserved and distant

nature makes true attraction rare to come

In fact, in reality most INFJs have a love/hate

With deep interest in how the human mind works

and learning through other people’s experiences,

this introverted type also holds a sense of

distrust and hesitation when it comes to the

Normally, true INFJ infatuation comes on when

They can’t help but to be drawn in by authenticity,

However, this can become rather dangerous

when another person knows how to use false

radar when it comes to others depicting a

false facade, sometimes their optimism can

Number 2: They can easily convince themselves

There’s a certain aspect of INFJ infatuation

that may be the biggest risk factor of it

This often-overlooked risk factor is rooted

in their beliefs of high power, spirituality,

Sometimes INFJs can convince themselves that

certain meetings and interrelations were destined,

and although this intuitive hunch may serve

to be undeniably true at times, it can also

bring on a captivation towards certain people

out of touch with their main cognitive driver,

introverted intuition, they can resort to

In this case, their infatuation becomes all

the more difficult for the INFJ to understand

However, when INFJ’s are instead analyzing

a new connection through extroverted feeling,

in which someone else is desiring the INFJ,

this type may absorb those underlying feelings

of the other person, taking them on as their

This can make them feel interested in someone,

or even love-struck despite not being able

to put a finger on why exactly they feel drawn

Number 3: They can experience obsessive (and

Through convincing themselves that they were

meant to cross paths with someone combined

with an undeniable intuitive pull towards

someone, INFJs can become engulfed by thoughts

Due to the INFJ’s habit of becoming fixated

on certain topics, recent experiences or potential

futures, they can catch themselves putting

someone at the forefront of their mental focus.

And while this isn’t always considered toxic,

it can end up taking over the INFJ’s entire

self-motivation and focus, keeping them from

to experiencing in their life of solitude.

In fact, sometimes these distracting thoughts

can be so intense that it throws the INFJ

into a complete introverted intuitive/introverted

thinking loop, leaving them disconnected to

This mental consumption can serve to be the

start to the most important connections the

INFJ is meant to have in their lives, yet

it can also be a sign that their exaggerated

and at-times false perceptions of an individual

Number 4: Their infatuation is easily built

Speaking of exaggerated perceptions, the web-like

formation of thoughts and ideas that make

Through their extraverted feeling and sensing

functions this personality type accurately

observes and files away certain qualities

of each person they come into contact with.

And while these observed qualities may be

accurate, the INFJ’s introverted cognitive

functions of intuition and thinking begin

This is when their infatuation can become

rather biasedly-led, forming into idealizations

that would fit the INFJ’s expectations and

Not only can this end up leading the INFJ

into disappointments should their person of

interest not meet these biased-rooted expectations,

but it can also cause the INFJ to turn a blind-eye

Not to mention, once the INFJ has assumed

them to go back and decipher which qualities

they formed through optimism and which qualities

Number 5: They can end up attracted to qualities

Through awe and fascination, INFJs can feel

an undeniable pull to those who stand out.

Whether it’s the quiet and mysterious person

that excludes themselves from the crowd, or

the odd and eccentric type that stands out

The INFJ can become infatuated by the oddities

However, first impressions can cause the INFJ

to fill in the blanks as to how this perceived

unconventionalism may play out in other areas

of that person's personality and life; which

For example, they say the INFJ and ENTJ make

a good match in the first few stages of getting

With the INFJ becoming captivated by all the

traits of the ENTJ that they admire such as

their determination and single mindedness,

They feel drawn towards the fact that the

ENTJ usually has their own interests, success

and social life allowing the INFJ to hold

However, in the long run, these exact traits

can leave the INFJ feeling emotionally neglected;

leaving the initial infatuation to serve as

Number 6: They can end up digging themselves

Speaking of forming connections that ultimately

can certainly find themselves in a sticky

situation or two within their lifetime due

When this imaginative and romantic personality

type finds someone who piques their interest,

they may be surprised by their uncharacteristic

After observing and collecting all the information

they can about a person, INFJs usually take

one of two routes, both having equally difficult

The first route is going overboard with their

emotional attachment before the connection

calls for it, ultimately becoming far more

interested in someone before that someone

has had the chance to become genuinely interested

For the second route, INFJs may find themselves

showing too much interest in someone before

finding out enough about them; eventually

realizing the lack of compatibility before

Just as the ENTJ example described in the

previous point, once an INFJ has taken the

leap to actively gain someone’s attention,

it can be a difficult realization when they

By trying their best to avoid hurting their

feelings while also trying to not lead them

on anymore than they already have, an INFJ’s

infatuation can lead them to some seriously

Number 7: It can make them feel completely

With extroverted feeling at hand, the INFJ

isn’t unfamiliar with feeling out of touch

As we mentioned before, the INFJ can absorb

the interest that someone else has for them

and mirror it in a way that wouldn’t naturally

But, despite flattery and being lusted after,

there's nothing that causes this emotional

disconnect more than when they can’t rationalize

their uncontrollable thoughts of another.

Known for maintaining a collected internal

balance despite their never-ending thought

and intrusive wonderment for another person.

In fact, feeling out of control is one thing

that most perfectionistic INFJs don’t deal

With a foggy mind and a recurring focus on

Truth be told, this is one of the main reasons

finding love and connection can feel so overwhelming

As once they let their floodgates down, the

rush of feelings, emotions, thoughts and curiosities

that come crashing in can make them feel like

they have no time or energy to focus on any
