The Pain Of Being The Infj Hsp Personality Type explores key ideas related to psychology, presented clearly and practically.
Besides the obvious reasons as to why it’s so
difficult to be the rarest personality type
with extremely high sensitivity, the INFJ HSP
experiences a few not-so-obvious struggles that
not many other people can relate to in life. Sure,
feeling misunderstood and lonely is one thing, but
what else challenges this highly sensitive type?

Alright, let’s get right into it starting with..
Number 1: They feel worldly problems to the bone
watched the news, and they will probably recall
a situation in which they had no choice. In other
words, most people with the INFJ personality type
steer far away from any type of global news
mostly because they are convinced it’s all
misleading bogus.. which doesn’t exactly seem
too far fetched. However, when it comes to the
highly sensitive INFJ, mind-bending news reports
of suffering and worldly problems can hit them
Although INFJ HSPs are still prone to taking
all reported news with a grain of salt, they
can’t help but to absorb the negative feelings
surrounding worldly issues such as war, famine,
inequality, and other tragedies. In fact, when
they dive into the topic of worldly problems,
the highly sensitive INFJ can be left to feel
even more guilty and hopeless for not doing enough
to change things for the better - something
they already struggle with on a daily basis.
Number 2: They see through the facade of life
If ignorance is bliss than intelligence must
be torture.. Or at least it seems this way at
times in the eyes of a highly sensitive INFJ.
Now, it’s not necessarily book smarts that allows
this introverted type to see through the matrix
of the so-called ‘American dream’, but rather
their strong intuitive instincts. Most INFJ
HSPs can probably recall a few childhood memories
where they didn’t accept the meaning of things at
face value, such as religious stories for example.
While everyone around them acts as if they truly
understand how and why certain religious stories
came about, INFJ HSPs are left feeling unsettled
which they figure probably can’t be answered.
This struggle goes for much more than religion
however, in fact, most highly sensitive HSPs find
difficulty in conforming to things like the
9-5 job concept and questionable gender roles.
any situation that involves suffering. Similar to
the reasons behind their hesitancy to dive into
worldly issues, the highly sensitive INFJ can feel
the suffering of others as if it is their own.
Whether it's everyday real life scenarios such as
being incredibly moved by the words written on the
sign in the hands of a less fortunate panhandler
or actively feeling the feelings of characters
in the movie they’re watching - INFJ HSPs find
themselves consumed in the emotional aspect
of all suffering. They’re mind automatically
resorts to placing themselves in other people’s
shoes, to fully understand the emotion from
their perspective. This can definitely be
a good thing when surrounded by positive energy,
however, tragedy and immorality can definitely
make this trait incredibly difficult at times..
Which brings us to the next INFJ HSP difficulty..
We have to remember, people did not choose the
INF HSP life, the INFJ HSP life chose them. And
although it’s not that the highly sensitive INFJ
doesn’t eventually learn to use their unique
empathetic and delicate nature to their benefit..
But when they're stuck in a situation where they
really need to turn off their energy-absorbing
tendencies, and can’t.. All of a sudden these
intuitive gifts seem like a true nightmare. For
the INFJ HSP, they not only have to carry around
their own deep feelings, but that of others around
them. If their spouse comes home stressed, they
will automatically begin feeling stressed also -
even if their day was going just fine. It’s not
only exhausting, but it can certainly be annoying
to feel out of control of their own emotions.
however, some are able to feel suffering to the
point of experiencing pain in areas of their
getting hurt. Also known as a physical empath,
some people with this sensitive personality
type can expect things like pain in their
temples when beside someone complaining about
a migraine, for example. Yet, aside from that,
highly sensitive INFJs can become so consumed
by the stress of others that they begin to
feel the physical symptoms of stress as a result.
In fact, this tendency to take on physical stress
is one of the main factors that make setting
boundaries for this type so crucial. Tying into..
cutting off contact with intrusive family members,
or leaving seemingly enjoyable relationships..
The highly sensitive INFJ is forced to maintain
their mental and emotional sanity by making
sure their immediate surroundings are in line with
their energy at all times. In fact, most INFJ HSPs
learn this lesson the hard way, usually by getting
taken advantage of for their natural care-taking
empathy a few times here and there through
adolescence and early-adulthood. Mature INFJ HSP’s
will make some of the hardest and unexplainable
decisions for the sake of proper boundary setting.
While it may not always be understandable from
the outside looking in, they usually have a method
behind their madness - and it’s almost always to
maintain their mental and emotional equilibrium.
social life if they tried? Well, although
high sensitivity comes with a spectrum, where
no 2 high sensitive INFJs are the same - every
INFJ HSP requires a substantial amount of R & R
to optimally function and feel like themselves.
For most people with this personality type,
after a long week of involuntary socialization
seems obscure, as they’ve been waiting patiently
for their peace and quiet in solitude. However,
even though this type enjoys their alone time,
it’s not like they necessarily choose to be
this way. In fact, being in high-reception
mode day in and day out, constantly absorbing
the energy and information of everything around
them quite literally requires energy. If they
spend their time with uplifting people however,
they may have a fighting chance at achieving
that balance of human connection and solitude.
Speaking of finding that perfect balance of human
connection and solitude, this sensitive introvert
can resort to complete isolation when in need
of a break from their involuntary empathetic
duties. The accumulation of emotional, mental, and
physical emotions that most INFJ HSPs experience
can all come to a halt when they distance
themselves from all contributors. However,
this defense mechanism can feel so relieving
that it can be difficult to step back into the
real world. With most of their symptoms and
difficulties being automatically overlooked
and not taken seriously, sometimes this highly
sensitive type can feel most like themselves in
the presence of nobody but themselves - and
that comfort can become awfully addicting.
