Infj Rebellion Is Every Infj A Rebel explores key ideas related to psychology, presented clearly and practically.
Going against the grain and pushing personal
limits are nothing new to the independent
The question is, when does taking the road
less traveled come across as rebellion in
And how intentionally-rebellious does that
leave the individualistic and unconventional

Number 1: They actually do want to stand out
To the individualistic and happily unique
INFJ, blending in just simply isn’t an option.
No matter how convincing they may be in their
quest to find familiarity in their surroundings,
However, the paradox behind it all is that
the INFJ tends to not want to fit in with
the crowd, yet the attention that comes from
being expressively unique and independent
can put them in a sticky situation of being
And the center of attention is exactly where
So, while their independence may give them
a rather rebellious reputation or image in
the eyes of some, their intentions are far
In fact, they tend to influence others through
their unorthodox viewpoints and actions without
even realizing they’re doing things differently.
Number 2: They only rebel when they’re confined
Once the INFJ has created the life they’ve
imagined for themselves, or at least something
close to it, they realize that their rebellious
nature was only due to the inability to express
When this truth-seeking type is confined to
other’s rules, regulations, standards, and
expectations, the INFJ’s rebellion slowly
Now, it’s not that they’re unable to follow
societal rules or that they live each day
waiting for the next rule they challenge..
But when the INFJ finds themselves in a place
where they’ve been feeling trapped or unable
to be their full selves for a long enough
Once this independent type feels constrained,
nothing can mitigate how they perceive the
Their passive, go-with-the-flow nature slowly
dwindles away as they become more and more
This is the same confinement they find when
they’re under the spell of someone else’s
Once they feel trapped within a connection,
Number 3: Asking questions and not settling
Speaking of confinement, INFJs feel confined
when they are coerced to involve themselves
in something with little explanation of its
To this curious type, elaborate questioning
is a natural part of their decision making
They are quite the opposite of conformists
in the fact that they can never happily accept
something simply because it’s expected of
If anything, when involved people have no
means of explaining, this type can become
even more suspicious of the matter, and the
To some conventionalists, this reluctance
Whether it’s education, work, play, or relationships,
INFJs rarely bow down to authority, especially
in a higher position to necessarily be more
Because of this slight distrust, INFJs almost
always do their own investigation on new information.
It’s said that the INFJ is so apt to going
against the grain in life, but what even is
Well, by going against the grain, one is choosing
a path or making a decision that is contrary
And of course, it’s believed it takes courage
and confidence to be able to stand up for
what you believe in, despite other’s opinions.
However, when it comes to the INFJ and their
natural inclination to take the road less
traveled, sometimes they hardly wonder why
While from a distant perspective, society
may seem like one big bubble of people headed
in the wrong direction, INFJs know deep down
inside that this perspective is small-minded.
And so they try not to focus on this concept
And because of this, INFJs can become so familiar
with their rather alternative priorities that
they can even forget just how different they
Number 5: They have to back up their strong
INFJ would happily rebel for is any cause
In fact, it’s the stories of other people
that usually light the spark in an INFJs heart.
This spark gives the normally conflict-avoidant
INFJ the confidence, motivation and mental
The unique aspect of this rebellion is that
comes to something that benefits only themselves.
Through their inborn empathy, INFJs absorb
the pain, hurt, and hope from others and combine
it with their logical planning to fuel their
This is what gives the INFJ their name of
being the advocate and the protector of the
16 personalities; and what explains the common
Number 6: They can seem seriously unapproachable
Without getting a taste for their energy and
warm presence, people with the INFJ personality
When it comes to social outings, or really
just being out in public in general, this
observant type can seem rather aloof and even
standoffish which can certainly translate
To explain this simply, INFJs could literally
be staring someone down with a less-than pleasant
look on their face, arms crossed and all,
and yet their minds are filled with only positive
They’re probably pondering whether or not
they should compliment something they admire
about that person, or if that would just be
Or they’re running through their minds of
everything they have to do once they get home.
Or.. they could even be questioning one of
An INFJs mind is never-not going 100 miles
a minute, and sometimes that concentration
can make their outside appearance not match
Number 7: They’re able to bring others out
INFJs may make people feel uncomfortable through
push someone towards their goals in the most
When it comes to comfort zones, INFJ have
had to learn to stretch themselves beyond
their comfort zones one temporary adventure
They stretch themselves so far because they
know in a short time, they will be able to
be back in their comfort zone with more knowledge,
experience and information to process while
And each time, their comfort zone grows wider
and wider, becoming even more flexible and
This learned-ability allows the INFJ to stand
as a beacon of adventure for their fellow
introverts trapped in their comfort zones.
Slowly, and almost silently, the INFJ plants
seeds of curiosity and encouragement to their
fellow earthlings; rebelliously swapping blue
Which brings us to the last point of today’s
Number 8: Self-rebellion is their magic ingredient
the elusive INFJ understands the world on
And with this understanding, they know that
It begins with the human ego and its need
to control - a need that is in each and every
And with that, they know that they can either
transform their rigid ego and self-importance
into a more self-actualized ego, or forever
So, most INFJs learn to turn the tables on
their egoistic ways early on, by rebelliously
using their ego as a tool rather than being
With this self-rebellion, INFJs shine a spotlight
on their egoistic views and instead use it
to prevent themselves from falling into complacency
This allows them to stop trying to control,
and instead use this mental capacity to surrender
to both order and chaos in a much healthier
At the end of the day, you realize that the
