The Unbearable ‘Icks’ Infjs Can’T Overlook explores key ideas related to psychology, presented clearly and practically.
"Ick".. a slang term that is most recently
used to describe a feeling of disgust or aversion
In the case of the overly observant INFJ,
it’s fair to say that they indeed may just
when noticed, are almost impossible to overlook.
So what are some of the INFJ’s instant turn-offs,
and why do they seem so unbearable to witness?

Alright, let’s get right into it, starting
Number 1: Being too conforming or ‘by the
The INFJ personality type is considered a
free thinker and free-doer in every aspect
They prefer to take the path less traveled
and often don’t trust the societal constructs
unique views on things, sometimes the INFJ
can observe when someone is close-minded to
the fact that maybe their conforming actions
and decisions make it difficult for them to
INFJs can’t entirely trust someone who doesn’t
have the courage or capacity to think outside
of what is being told to them, and because
of that, this personality type becomes instantly
This ick becomes even worse when the INFJ
is questioned or criticized for their logical
rule-breaking that goes against external expectations.
In the eyes of an INFJ, blind obedience and
authoritarianism makes people seem less human,
and for that, they can’t help but to cringe
If there’s one way to quickly lose the INFJ’s
empathetic sympathy, lack of accountability
Victimhood for the sake of manipulation, justification
or attention seeking has to be one of the
Since this observant type has the habit of
analyzing things from all angles, they know
better than to be tricked into giving sympathy
to someone portraying to be innocent instead
Of course, the INFJ is unlikely to jump to
this conclusion without doing some digging,
but it doesn’t take long for them to realize
the obvious reality of self-victimization.
This is especially true when someone can’t
come to terms with the idea that maybe they’re
the common denominator in their life problems.
Since the INFJ takes so much time to self-reflect
and tries their best to see where they went
wrong far before ever pointing the finger,
play the victim card, but they also get an
instant ick that makes them think of that
Being labeled as a know-it-all themselves,
INFJs can appreciate some shared intellect
They love diving deep into people’s expertise,
Normally, they don’t shame those who share
their wealth of knowledge, as long as they
actually know what they’re talking about.
This is where the fine line of whether or
not someone’s proficiency is rooted in legitimacy
When the INFJ comes to realize that someone
is simply not open to hearing any other potential
opinions, conclusions or alternative ways
of getting something done, their ick-radar
For, a true expert is always willing to remain
open to innovation and alternate perspectives
in order to challenge what they believe to
a certain defensiveness that becomes obvious.
Know-it-alls who don’t actually know much
about what they’re talking about are deeply
afraid of being proven wrong, and are willing
to do (and say) just about anything to save
Number 4: Having an inflated ego in any regard
With extroverted feeling at hand, this personality
However, they’re also able to easily decipher
when someone’s self-pride is either coming
from a genuine place or a place of self-conceit.
Despite the fact that even the most genuine
display of self-pride can come across as slightly

support, a page full of revealing gym-selfies
will result in an eye-roll and complete disinterest.
When someone is continually trying to be the
center of attention, it becomes so unbearably
noticeable to the INFJ that they can’t help
but to watch in disappointment for humanity.
They can’t stand shallowness, but shallowness
that’s combined with a self-absorbed demeanor
tops the cake for most INFJs and their ick-o-meters.
Number 5: People who talk behind the backs
To be fair, INFJs aren’t exactly known for
Related to their disinterest in small-talk
there’s something so superficial about talking
about other people that the INFJ usually loses
interest in the conversation rather quickly.
Yet, besides the fact that INFJs much rather
talk about something deeper and more complex

of ick that comes with gossiping being someone’s
Sure, sometimes we all need to vent, and most
times, these stories and life challenges involve

they are, INFJs can tell when talking about

starters, and can’t help but to feel instantly
turned-off and uncomfortable in that person’s
energy, knowing they’ll probably be talking
We’ll start this one by saying, maybe not
But for the most part, a passionate conversation
about politics is an instant INFJ turn-off.
Related to what we said earlier about the
INFJ’s need for a more stimulating conversation,
current news surrounding politics is rarely
With deeper understanding and an opinion that
probably concludes the political system to
not be what it seems, these sorts of conversations
leave the INFJ stuck in boredom, disagreement,
and an unwillingness to share their honest
They probably can’t remember the last time
they voted, and they probably have no idea
who’s running or what side they’re running
So while the INFJ is busy being icked-out,
they also probably seem completely oblivious
and uninformed, which is also not exactly
a comfortable place for the perfectionistic
To put it simply, if it’s a one-on-one conversation,
the INFJ may attempt to shut it down with
the use of humor or admitted disinterest.
And, if it’s not a one-on-one conversation,
political banter is the perfect opportunity
for the INFJ to tune out what’s being said
in order to silently slip into their own little
Number 7: Lack of consideration and kindness
Like they say, you can tell alot about a date
For the INFJ, this and the way someone treats
any other member of society rings very true.
INFJs are constantly analyzing the gestures,
interactions and reactions of the people they’re
Kindness comes in all forms, and is considered
common sense for the INFJ type when interacting
On that note, when the INFJ witnesses unnecessary
rudeness or lack of consideration, they are
overcome with an ick that is nearly impossible
Even something as simple as someone not thinking
to look behind them as they pass through the
Or not saying thank you should someone hold
Of course, it can get far worse, with common
courtesy situations coming with a minimal
In fact, certain situations are so bad that
the INFJ has no other choice but to cut off
all ties with that individual, sometimes with
