Why Do True Infjs Trigger Envy In Some People

Why Do True Infjs Trigger Envy In Some People explores key ideas related to psychology, presented clearly and practically.



The hard-working type that leads a life of

humility and grace.. It’s not surprising that

the empathic INFJ can end up triggering deep

and unexpected envy from those around them.

Alright, let’s get right into what exactly causes

the INFJ to bend their rules. Starting with..

Chill, mellow, reserved, and mysterious, INFJs are

often seen as the agreeable and relaxed one of the

group. Also known as the mediator or the mystic

personality type, no matter the circumstances

the INFJ is always the peacemaker, the problem

solver and the unflappable one of the situation.

one would be surprised by how many people resort

to panic when the simplest of things don’t get

the way they initially expected. In a world

riddled with anxiety, restlessness and fear,

sensing an aura of unwavered calmness from

someone can be rather refreshing and reassuring.

with a difficulty in breaking things down

into more attainable understandings can end

up perceiving this connectedness as a false

tactic. Rooted in envy, they may question the

very authenticity of the INFJ’s undisturbed

nature, writing it off as simply impossible.

better themselves through self discipline

Ironically, to the INFJ, this personal habit can

be rather tortuous at times. With the inability

to ever be completely content with who they are

and where they’re at in life, INFJ’s can’t help

at least one aspect of life at all times.

However, on the outside looking in, this ambitious

and self-driven characteristic of someone with the

INFJ personality type can certainly trigger

the INFJ may be in the best physical shape in

the opinion of others but still strive to eat

fitness regime. They may have a fulfilling

but still continue to try and find ways to

spice things up. Or, they may have an excellent

degree in their field of work, but still strive

to keep up to date on the latest certificates,

courses and training to progress their knowledge.

certainly trigger passive aggressive comments

and the occasional eye-roll here and there.

Speaking of the high standards the INFJ holds

themselves to when it comes to self-mastery,

because of this at-time challenging quality,

they tend to only display the best work they

produce. Considering they put their whole

passionate enough to achieve in life, they can

end up coming across as a high-achiever in one

way or another. Whether it’s in the workplace,

in a learning setting, in their personal goals

of health or even when it comes to how much

effort they put into their relationships,

some people can begin questioning their lack of

effort when they witness this innate INFJ quality.

In fact, the jealousy people have towards

this INFJ self-standard isn’t only due to

but it’s the fact this personality type is

able to strive with grace and humility. They’re

not putting in their best efforts in hopes of

impressing others, or to achieve status and power.

Rather, they do their best because it’s in their

very nature to do so. Which brings us too..

Number 4: They talk their achievements down

When referring to this personality type’s

modesty, some people can envy the very fact

that INFJs don’t even know how good they really

are. With regards to their talents, the strengths

they bring to friendships and team settings, the

common sense they hold in everyday scenarios,

and even the deep understanding they hold for

others’ feelings, some people notice the INFJ’s

powers far beyond what the INFJ acknowledges

about themselves. And even for the qualities the

INFJ knows they bring to the table, they’d be the

last people to rub it in the face of others. Since

they’re not about self-boasting and much rather

remain behind the scenes as opposed to being

admired in the spotlight, the INFJ’s strengths

never come with a distasteful aura. In fact,

if through their extroverted feeling function, the

INFJ notices that someone may be feeling envious

of their achievements or talents, they’ll more

than likely take appropriate action to make them

seem easily attainable. For example, if someone

were to subtly communicate their feelings of

jealousy towards a job the INFJ has landed, the

INFJ may go off on a tangent about how anybody

could get the job they got and that it was simply

a matter of luck. When in reality, they have the

specific strengths and determination required.

Number 5: They usually live a balanced life

for doing things for themselves, the INFJ’s

priority for personal care and personal time

Now, of course, this idealistic priority doesn’t

always take form in the quantity or quality the

INFJ wants, but for the most part, their need

for solitude can trigger significant envy in

those who are running around without a minute to

their name. The ironic thing is that, once again,

most INFJs feel as if they have no choice but to

make time for themselves. Without the necessary

time to recharge, reflect and rejuvenate, the

INFJ will find themselves on the fast track to

serious mental burnout. They simply cannot handle

as much hustle and bustle as the average person,

way they spend precious hours very carefully.

Sometimes this even results in them needing

to set boundaries around how much time they spend

with certain people and in the hobbies they enjoy.

So, while it may seem all fine and dandy from

an outer perspective, INFJs can actually end

up slightly envious of the fact that others can

have a lively social life without repercussions.

Selflessness and empathy can trigger funny

feelings in those who don’t run on the same

values. As a matter of fact, sometimes the

rules the INFJ lives by are not considered

Due to their unique mix of introverted intuition,

extroverted feeling, introverted thinking and

extroverted sensing functions, most INFJs are

captivated by higher purpose and deeper meaning.

Especially when on the topic of the major life

sectors of career, relationships and living

circumstances, INFJs aren’t motivated by feeling

obligated or pressed to follow social norms.

They don’t usually work solely for the sake of

money, nor do they hold onto falsely founded

relationships for the sake of avoiding loneliness.

They wouldn’t move out of their loving parent’s

home at an early age before they could afford

it simply because that’s what’s expected of

them by others. To put it simply, they don’t

make life choices for the sake of status,

impressing others or for the means of finding

happiness outside of themselves. Instead,

INFJs have a realness about them that allows them

to follow their dreams and their dreams only.

do with making a difference in the world.

Number 7: They seem to never make mistakes

Some sources say that INFJs are known for their

clumsy behavior, but we’d have to disagree.

While they certainly make mistakes just as often

as every other human, they’re much more careful

in their planning and predicting. Not only does

this innate sense of organization in life allow

them to limit the amount of witnessed mistakes

they make, but it also gives them the future

projection of avoiding negative outcomes to

their choices. In fact, INFJs are considered

one of the least adventurous types due to them

requiring some sort of plan of action in almost

every endeavor they set out on. One INFJ blogger

explained this aspect of themselves perfectly by

saying “I see questions from time to time asking

about INFJ clumsiness. People who barely know

me would not call me clumsy; I almost never make

these kinds of mistakes. But the reason for that

is I plan my entire life carefully because I know

that if I don’t, I will literally walk into every

wall and trip on every stair. They think I’ve got

it together, but I don’t.” This sense of poise

and coordination can trigger envy..but for the

most part, it’s all a well-thought-out scheme.

Well PSYCH-Os, that’s it for today.. So, as an

INFJ, do you think you’ve ever triggered envy in
