Perks Of Being An Infj Wallflower explores key ideas related to psychology, presented clearly and practically.
Wallflower; the one who hides at parties and
tends to be reserved when surrounded by many
people. Also known as the hermit, the loner,
or the recluse.. the introverted INFJ type can
easily be viewed as a ‘wallflower’ individual due
to their reserved and private manner. Luckily,

They say the silent one in the room is most
often the most intelligent. While that may
be a far-fetched claim in some regards, there
is certainly some truth that comes with the
statement. In fact, in a group setting of
continuous chatter, inauthentic gestures,
and loud opinions being expressed by loud
individuals, the INFJ’s backseat approach
often speaks for itself. As a matter of fact,
fellow quiet observers will spot the like-minded
INFJ from across the room due to this very
when it comes to parties, social gatherings and
even busy workplaces the INFJ and their uniquely
confident shyness can stick out like a sore thumb.
And with an essence of mystery engulfing them,
they’re able to call in the people who they could
actually connect with on a more genuine level. The
effortlessness involved can be considered
analyzing their inner worlds, they don’t act
or speak on impulse.. The INFJ wallflower is
never the life of the party or even simply the
main speaker of the group, mostly because they
avoid talking just for the sake of talking.
In fact, they place extreme importance on
the words they say, and they think about their
choice of words and expressions very thoroughly.
and easy-to-understand way of communicating their
thoughts, but they want to be able to analyze how
the other person will interpret it. Just as the
INFJ dives so deeply into the meaning of other
people's words and gestures, they want theirs
to be well-thought out, in case other people are
analyzing them to the degree they do others.
Speaking of avoiding talking just for the heck
of it, the INFJ doesn’t only place importance on
their word choices, but they also make the
conscious judgment of whether or not they
can genuinely engage in a conversation or not.
Although they can fake small talk when needed in
a social setting, you won’t truly connect with an
INFJ until you discuss the more important things
in life. The natural ‘wallflower’ qualities of
the INFJ makes it so that they crave to know how
someone thinks, what they think, and what it is
that causes them to think it. And because of that,
seemingly vague, surface-level conversations just
don’t give them the same captivating interest. As
in the latest gossip or negative news report for
example, the naturally keen listening skills of
the INFJ can end up being replaced by their own
imaginative thoughts to keep them entertained.
Number 4: An automatic connection to Mother Nature
Utilizing their calm demeanor and underlying
high-vibrational qualities of love, forgiveness,
but they resonate with different metaphorical
teachings they observe and can’t find elsewhere.
While some people may view a simple walk in the
woods as means of exercise, the introspective
INFJ recluse is able to utilize the meditative
and healing energies on a much deeper level.
Sunsets, full-moons, the waves crashing on
a beach, you name it, the INFJ will always
hold a special place in their hearts for these
priceless natural wonders. More importantly,
nature offers one of the things this highly
analytical type needs most, the ability to
practice their extroverted sensing function
by just ‘being’, with no outer obligations.
Number 5: An instinctive connection with animals
Speaking of Mother Nature and all the wonderful
healing qualities it provides, INFJ’s tend to
have a natural draw towards animals. To put it
simply, that one friend that rather be tending
to the friendly canine of the party rather than
co-mingling with the crowd very well may be the
INFJ of the group. In fact, it might just be
the fact that spending time with the pet of the
household takes meaningless conversations and
ingenuity out of the equation. Animals provide
the grounding INFJs can use to strengthen
their extroverted sensing function without
being overwhelmed by observations, analyzing or
their own internal dialogue. In addition to that,
not only are INFJs usually drawn to the calm
demeanor of animals, but they are just as
drawn to the INFJ for the same reason. Plus, most
animals are fuzzy, gentle, and undoubtedly loving,
which is similar to the energy that INFJs
like to omit and surround themselves with.
Private and reluctant to sharing their precious
time with undeserved or ill-intended individuals,
the INFJ wallflower only puts in the effort where
effort is due. Since they’re known for not opening
up for just anyone, when they finally do create
a connection with someone, you can imagine the
importance they place upon that relationship.
Whether it’s romantic, platonic, or on the basis
of influence/ mentorship, INFJs will utilize
both their logical evaluations as well as their
intuitive knowledge, by going that extra mile
to ensure the connection is right for them.
By setting up the necessary boundaries, and only
allowing them to be lowered ever so slightly in
intervals they deem most appropriate, they find
their soul tribe through life. Not to mention,
making connections isn't considered a strong
suit of the introverted INFJ, so to them,
when it comes to relationships of any kind.
for yourself is another underrated skill that
is crucial to life-satisfaction and optimal
energy levels. Luckily for INFJs, taking time for
themselves is another one of their strong suits.
Being considered highly intuitive and highly
aware of their emotions and energy levels,
INFJs know how to check in with themselves.
Before accepting an invitation, this type will
likely weigh out the pros and cons of whether
or not they genuinely prefer to spend their
time doing something other than tending to
their prioritized responsibilities. Luckily,
some of those responsibilities include practices
that induce self care. If they don’t feel up for
a night out, they won’t show up out of obligation,
they will intuitively make the choice to not go.
feelings, and that's the end of the story.
People who know an INFJ will know not to take it
to heart. So, what does the INFJ do with all this
so-called ‘spare time?’ Well, that brings us to..
Some may say living life through the preference
of spending time with oneself may get boring
after a while. Yet, without the distractions
of keeping up with obligated connections or
attending gatherings for the sake of maintaining
social status, INFJs are able to truly utilize
their creative potential. The complex inner
workings of the INFJ mind allows them to come
up with an influx of creative ideas whenever
they’re needed. Since they’re considered the
‘idea-generator’ personality type of the MBTI,
INFJs naturally prefer mental focus and lack of
outer stimuli to allow their mind to wander. This
subconscious wandering increases the odds that
their mind will come back with some innovative and
unique findings. When they intentionally take time
out of their day to practice their preferred
creative outlets, they’re able to both ground
themselves and free their minds without totally
shutting out their overactive thought processes.
In other words, this uninterrupted “boredom”
is actually not boredom at all and may just
be the secret sauce behind finding the creative
solutions and ideas they’re so apt to initiate.
