on some level, whether they choose to acknowledge

them or not. It’s a natural human trait. In fact,

almost anyone can strengthen their intuitive

because like a muscle, intuition only gets

stronger with practise. And so, is it possible

that INFJs - who are known to rely on intuition on

such a deep level - may just have the practise of

having to use their intuitive instincts to handle

difficult situations? Is it possible that some

INFJs spent their formative years in environments

where having a sense of what's to come helped them

brace for impact? Since introverted intuition is

all about internal thoughts, ideas and patterns,

is it possible that early trauma provided a

playing ground of scenarios that challenged

this natural instinct? Being able to feel the

energies of people around them and being able

is it possible that it’s all rooted from a

survival mechanism that INFJs developed early on?

There’s no doubting an INFJs extreme empathy and

awareness of the emotions of others. With a deep

understanding of even the most complex people, the

INFJ can easily give someone the benefit of the

doubt. But.. how does the INFJ truly understand

the emotions of others in difficult times if they

haven’t felt that emotion for themselves? Of

course, everyone has a certain level of human

empathy, but what makes the INFJ so equipped

to feel the energy of other people? And what

ultimately makes them feel so called to empathize,

no matter how controversial the situation may be.

While this deep caring seems like a classic empath

trait, or maybe that of a highly sensitive person,

have most INFJs experienced an early trauma that

led to this hyper awareness of those around them?

Whether it was an early loss that comes with

experiencing heartache of family members and

school. Even the smallest experiences can

Are INFJs innately independent or were they

challenged to become self-reliant at an early age?

Sure, there comes a time when every child begins

taking on more and more independence, but then

there are children that have no choice but to do

things on their own. Whether that means a lack of

parental responsibility during childhood, or even

lack of friendships, making school and socializing

more difficult than it needed to be. Of course,

almost every INFJ can agree that they’ve felt like

the blacksheep in most scenarios, choosing

was it really their choice in the beginning, or

is this independence a result of settling for the

road of solitude early on? It’s possible that some

INFJs have built a wall so high due to this factor

that it feels too uncomfortable to accept help

from others. Choosing to do things their own way

can be a great trait, but only if it’s rooted from

self-empowerment and not fear of vulnerability.

Meeting New People Due To Fear Of Vulnerability

Speaking of vulnerability, it’s not exactly

a word that most INFJs are comfortable with.

Well actually, they love to see the vulnerable

side in other people, in fact they live for it.

for the true INFJ to step outside of their

shell. The question is.. What does the INFJ

contradiction of wanting to meet new people but

also not wanting to open up about themselves

stem from? Does it really come from the INFJ

feeling content with a smaller group of people?

Or is it all based on a fear of vulnerability due

to being shut down in the past? Is the discomfort

around opening up to others similar to their

sensitivity to criticisms? Maybe some INFJs have

experienced memorable moments in childhood

or adolescence that made them coil inward,

teaching them to never open up until full trust is

engaged. So, while the INFJ so desperately craves

human connection, almost like that of a naturally

more extroverted personality type, past traumas

have made it unbearable to exercise that desire.

Have some INFJs just convinced themselves they

don’t like socializing when it’s actually just

a past trauma that needs to be acknowledged?

The INFJ is filled with wisdoms of all sorts, some

they can’t even quite recall how they’ve learned.

The level of intellect and maturity that the

INFJ carries themselves with gives them the

the old soul INFJ seems to just know certain

things without necessarily having to learn them.

Things that help guide them through life decisions

and day-to-day life. According to the MBTI theory,

and extroverted sensing functions that allow them

to subconsciously pick up on subtle details of

day-to-day life that others may overlook. But,

is this subconscious mechanism a natural ability

order to manage certain childhood crises?

Is this ability just a survival mechanism

using during childhood? Does the INFJ feel

compelled to ask ‘why’ because they are genuinely

curious or because they feel they may miss out on

a crucial piece of information that may help them.

Deeply imaginative and generally idealistic, the

INFJ personality type is known for their elaborate

inner worlds. Using their vivid dream-like inner

thoughts, the INFJ is able to do anything from

fantasize about potential partnerships, dream-up

their most ideal life-journey, and even experience

fabricated conversations that have never (and

most likely will never) happen. The INFJ inner

mind is like no other, and to this personality

type, the world they’re able to create internally

almost always tops their current reality.

is so interesting, because it can easily be

a disguise for an escape from reality. As

much as this aspect of introverted intuition

can be considered a natural tendency, it can

also easily be mistaken for someone's attempt to

mentally remove themselves from their physical

reality. For example, if a child witnessed their

parents fighting constantly throughout childhood,

they would quickly learn mechanisms that allow

them to disconnect. So, is it possible that some

INFJs may just be familiar with using imagination

and idealistic outlooks as a coping mechanism? A

Hypothetical Theory # 7: Deep Conversations

INFJs love deep conversations, and they’re

also known for not being as intune with their

own emotions as they are with others. When it

comes to their love for deep conversations,

open up without consistent attempts. This

is because the INFJ is much more interested in

trying to understand the other person rather

than share things about themselves. Aside from the

vulnerability factor that we’ve already discussed,

some INFJs just don’t have an easy time putting

their feelings into words.. Making it incredibly

challenging to reciprocate in information

shared. So.. is it possible that the INFJ

is so familiar with basing the way they feel on

other people that they don’t allow themselves to

fully feel what they’re feeling? Maybe some INFJs

grew up in a household where they weren’t able to

express themselves, and so they learned to only

offer emotional support rather than seek it. It’s

possible that the INFJ craves these conversations

in order to feel more intune with themselves.

INFJs are known for both their love for helping

others and their people-pleasing tendencies.

Craving harmony above all else, the INFJ will

do anything in their power to avoid chaos. But

have they ever asked themselves why they’re

so reluctant to experience a little banter,

the INFJ is a peace-keeper? Is it really due to

their highly sensitive nature and perfectionism?

Or have they experienced past traumas that make

any minor uncomfortable situation unbearable?

Is it possible that some INFJs are fearful of the

heavy emotions that come with displeasing others,

even if it’s for the sake of their own mental

sanity? Do they really want to help other people,

or are they just avoiding helping themselves?

or made? Let us know in the comments below.
