Acting as a metaphorical mirror for all those
they meet, the INFJ empaths with the incredible
ability to reflect other people’s true colors
Oftentimes, against their will INFJs will
absorb and project people’s energies providing
valuable feedback that usually is communicated
not through spoken words but through energy

Number 1: They act different around different
INFJs have the ability to get on another person's
level like no other personality type because
They can get along with all walks of life
because the empathic INFJ subconsciously adapts
to the people they meet in order for the other
person to feel as comfortable as possible
This means that when the INFJ gets into conversation
with someone whether it be an individual or
an audience, they intuitively sense what the
other person wants and expects in a sense.
And so they bend their personalities to connect
with different people on the deepest level
However, to others, this can make it difficult
to gauge who the INFJ really is on their own
and have people questioning whether or not
their being genuine - when most times they
hardly realize they’re doing it in the first
Number 2: They seem like they know people
Because INFJs have this ability to relate
to people on the level people want to be related
to, it can give people the feeling like their
newly found INFJ understands them more than
Sure, when given the chance INFJs would love
to get to know someone to the best of their
abilities, and may end up understanding others
in ways they’ve never been understood before.
But, for the most part, INFJs are just using
years of observations of human behavior and
mood-absorbing so that they can easily understand
why people do things the way they do them.

them long to relate people’s energy to people
Number 3: They replace their own energies
INFJs are naturally extroverted feelers, meaning
they easily pick up on the emotions of things
emotions of others but they absorb it, sometimes
so deeply and without any warning that they
there yourself, but unlike INFPs who have
an introverted feeling function and tend to
be highly aware of what they themselves are
feeling, the INFJs have a hard time figuring
out which feelings are their own and which
Because of this mirroring mechanism, it makes
it pretty hard to understand what they actually
feel and the worst part of it all is that
it tends to be much easier to absorb the feelings
of those who are discouraged or depressed
In fact, internalizing negative feelings of
others is one of the most difficult aspects
Number 4: They find it difficult to let their
Without confidence and certainty in your own
feelings, some INFJs struggle with always
Whether it be in relationships, parenting,
friendships or even the workplace, INFJs don’t
want to be in the spotlight because they’re
too busy mirroring the feelings of others
and then calculating how they could make their
It’s as if taking on the emotions of others
makes the INFJ not only unable to realize
their own feelings at times, but even when
There is a step in maturity every INFJ must
face sooner or later, and that's tuning into
their own needs and desires while redirecting
their ambitious energies towards their own
Once an INFJ takes control of their mirroring
abilities rather than being controlled by
Number 5: They get too attached to their partner’s
like such a bad trait to have in a partner,
however, when there's too much focus on one

when they become too attached to the mood
They begin to neglect their own needs and
then end up getting frustrated at that exact
factor of their relationship at some point
In fact, if they don’t get frustrated, their
In this romantic dynamic, partners of INFJs
can feel like they need to pressure the INFJ
to talk about their feelings, as if they have
no idea what they actually want from the connection
And in the end, INFJs are happiest in connections
when they can quiet this extreme care for
Some INFJ empaths get so used to the idea
of reflecting other people’s feelings that
they themselves don’t even know where their
When an NFJ melts into their environment
and soaks up everything in their vicinity,
They don’t just absorb others’ perspectives,
both positive and negative, to project them
outward but also to internalize them inward.
If they’re around specific people for long
periods of time such as family, friends, or
in a specific work environment, INFJs can
get seriously stuck in mirror mode and temporarily
lose important aspects of who they were before.
And while that doesn’t sound so dangerous,
it can certainly make for a level of co-dependency
Plus, once this introspective type begins
to notice this quality and starts making changes
accordingly, these surrounding people most
likely will think they’re having a mid life
Number 7: They mirror to increase their own
Another main reason why INFJs feel lost when
they don’t have someone to reflect off of
is because they use this subconscious tactic
not only to make others feel comfortable but
language, tone of voice, energy levels and
to behave without sticking out like a sore
a friend by setting the tone for mutual energy
Plus, since they feed off of others' moods,
by reducing someone's discomfort, INFJs ultimately
The last thing an INFJ wants is to feel scrutinized
by someone new, and so by camouflaging themselves
within the already present behaviors allows
them to quietly observe the people present.
In addition to that, INFJs like to be known
for being good at knowing what people want
to see, need to see and showing exactly that,
even if it means they come off as a little
Number 8: They’ve used it all their lives
The toughest part of it all is that this mirroring
function is completely automatic and can’t
necessarily be ignored even if an INFJ tried.
struggling whether they’re shy, upset, anxious,
or nervous, INFJs immediately mirror in order
They always want to increase people’s comfort
within social scenarios and while they can
stop and realize what they're doing in the
moment, it’s rarely a conscious decision.
In fact, INFJs not only have practiced this
automatic reaction their whole lives but they’ve
also observed the shift in people’s demeanors
when they have someone to relate to them on
And so, it keeps them coming back to this
