introspection, INFJs tend to know their own
behaviors, tendencies and thought patterns pretty
well compared to some other personality types.

in some cases, would never admit to doing.

Alright, let’s get right into it, starting with..
They say you can never love someone into loving
you, and you can never change another person
to be more of what you want them to be. And
while INFJ’s know these philosophical pieces
of advice to be the utmost truth, if there’s
one personality type that would put the blood,
sweat and tears into altering another person’s
outlook on life it would be the INFJ themselves.
Not only is this optimistic type able to see
the good in everyone, they also believe that
with the right empathy and encouragement, old
wounds can be patched; ultimately resulting in
different behaviors. Unfortunately, INFJs have
the tendency to disregard the repetitive actions
and intentions of others in hopes that they can
nurse them back to health. They can’t stand to
turn their backs on someone who the INFJ believes
needs their aid, despite being used as a doormat.
In the end, no matter how many philosophical
pulls back to safety, and opportunities the
INFJ throws at these types of people, they’ll
only change if they have the desire to.. And
that’s a difficult pill for the INFJ to swallow.
Number 2: Experiencing FOMO (Fear of missing out)
Introverts at heart and extroverts when absolutely
necessary, this personality type prefers to spend
their spare time nestled in the comfort of
their own homes. However, deep down inside,
the INFJ homebody wishes they could experience
the desire to socialize like their peers.
They are adventurous at heart and hate to
admit that their need for ample alone time
may just hold them back in life when it comes to
opportunities and connections. In fact, INFJs are
those people that despite never taking other’s up
on their invitations, still want to be invited.
Not only do they not want to feel more excluded
but they also want to be invited for that odd
chance that they feel especially adventurous.
In the end, when they choose not to attend
a social gathering only to hear about it the
next day, INFJs can become overwhelmed with
a feeling that they missed out on something.
Through their extroverted feeling function,
others that sometimes overrides the underlying
disinterest they have towards most social affairs.
most INFJs would agree that to constantly be
alone doesn’t necessarily mean they’re lonely.
Yet, without a close companion, whether it
be rooted in romance, friendship or family,
most INFJs experience gruesome periods of
on having the ability to self-regulate without
the need of other people’s input or affection.
And yet, in their times of overwhelming stress,
feeling misunderstood, and even in their times of
joy and self-pride, deep down they wish they had
someone to share their thoughts with. They wish
they could share the ups and downs of life with
a like-minded person. In reality, even if they
have someone close to them whom they consider
trustworthy and genuine, it doesn’t always take
away from this core feeling of isolation. It takes
a certain type of person and unfortunately years
of spending time together for the INFJ to open
up fully. Which brings us to our next point..
Number 4: Wishing, praying and fantasizing
With extroverted feeling and sensing at the
forefront of their cognitive functions, the INFJ
personality type is much more inclined to take the
necessary steps to understand someone else fully
than they are to open up about themselves. They
carry themselves with an aura of open-mindedness,
genuine curiosity and an open ear that draws
people towards them and compels them to spill
all of their deepest darkest thoughts. And while
the INFJ truly wouldn’t want to have it any other
way due to their innate curiosity towards the ways
of the human mind, there’s a piece of them that
longs for someone to create a safe and patient
space for them to divulge their own ponderings.
In fact, despite being closed off and reserved on
the outside, internally most INFJs are wishing,
waiting and hoping that that specific person
comes along eventually. Someone who doesn’t feel
intimidated by the INFJ’s self-containedness.
Someone who gently but firmly pushed the INFJ
And ultimately, someone who quiets that part
of the INFJ’s self-pity that makes them believe
to watch others to gain the necessary (or
completely unnecessary) insight they crave.
With a mix of blank stares and peripheral vision,
this hawk-eyed analytical type knows exactly
what we mean when we say they try their best to
observe without seeming like they’re observing.
the strange looks that come with it, most
INFJs form the ability to do exactly that;
stare without seeming like they’re staring,
listen without seeming like they’re listening,
and even playing private investigator through
social media without being traced. INFJs are a
nosey bunch, and through their combination of
extroverted sensing and introverted thinking,
their curiosities in this questionable manner.
Luckily, they’re rarely caught, and when they are,
they have the preparedness to play it off cool.
Empathetic and optimistic, most INFJs claim to
have the belief that everyone has their own sense
of intelligence in this life. Yet in reality,
when getting to know others, they’re often met
with utter shock and amazement when someone’s true
intellect is proven. They tend to subconsciously
believe that there couldn’t possibly be others
who evaluate life and self as deeply as they do.
Whether it be rooted in ego or just an overall
distrust in humanity’s ability to think outside
of what they’re told to think, when the INFJ
is met with someone of like-mindedness and
brilliance they are slightly taken aback with the
internal realization that maybe they doubt other’s
thinking abilities more than they should. In fact,
most INFJs don’t make time for new connections
or dreaded small talk with the conclusion that
they’ll be caught in a surface-level, dumbed-down
conversation, discussing everything about nothing.
When in reality, they’d probably learn a thing or
two if they just remained open to the idea that
there really are clever people in the world.
INFJs hold a unique mix of characteristics that
can either help and hinder their connections with
others. Besides their empathy, understanding,
and need to help the ones they love, the INFJ
displays behaviors that can be quite damaging to
the people they form connections with. Notorious
for their unforthcoming demeanor, unwavering
independence and obvious lack of interest in,
INFJs can make the one’s trying to get close
to them feel completely shut out and unworthy.
Regardless of how genuine and honest someone
demonstrates their intentions towards the INFJ,
meet others with a sense of suspicion and
doubt until proven otherwise. Unfortunately,
when conflict arises and the other person is
given the chance to demonstrate their genuine
interest for the INFJ, they’ll most likely be
met with the silent treatment in which they
have the challenge to patiently work around.
Luckily, once connected with another person,
proper communication serves to be the foundation
of their relationships. However, this approach
to proven love and affection is toxic in and of
