This Is Why All Infjs Hold Painful Grudges explores key ideas related to psychology, presented clearly and practically.
Through their deep understanding of human
behavior, it may be assumed that most INFJs
have an easy time forgiving others. By often
choosing to simply ‘live and let live’ some may
think that the INFJ type holds the emotional
maturity to let go of any residual resentment
and bitterness towards those who have done
them wrong.. But that’s not always the case.

Alright, let’s get right into it, starting with..
First and foremost, when someone does the INFJ
wrong, it becomes a personal problem. Despite
the unforgivable actions, INFJs understand that
they can’t control other people, or make them
see things from their level. And so, instead of
pointing the finger and playing the blame game,
an INFJ’s grudge is usually rooted in the
fact that they can’t forgive themselves for
not predicting someone’s negative behavior
before it became a reality. One of the most
difficult things to get over in times of conflict
is the pattern of foreshadowing actions that file
through the INFJ’s conscience. In fact, every
time something goes wrong in an INFJ’s life,
they can’t help but to sit back and mentally
observe the past memories and events that
it’s in the INFJ’s self-disappointment that
most of their resentment comes from. It’s
almost as if they’re more upset that someone
could get past their keen observation skills
From a logical standpoint, INFJs have the
knowledge and maturity it requires to forgive
and forget. However, on the inside, where their
guarded emotions are kept, negative experiences
tend to secretly linger for far more time than
they’d like to admit. No matter the extent their
logical minds are begging them to move on and
despite how much it seems as if they’ve moved
on from a painful past experience, an INFJ’s
heart takes much longer to let things go.
Being the sensitive soul they are, things affect
them on a grander scale with a longer lasting,
lingering impact. Whether this is because they’re
so quick to give others the benefit of the doubt,
or the fact that they can’t relate to other’s
undeserving evil ways, once an INFJ’s protected
vulnerability is broken, it takes a long time to
mend. And even once fixed, a trauma-torn INFJ is
never the same. While on one end of the spectrum,
this damage dulls an INFJ’s shine temporarily,
it also allows for the INFJ to effectively learn
from their lessons, and may even encourage them to
practice their much needed boundary setting
skills. Which brings us to our next point..
Number 3: Grudges help the INFJ learn a lesson
and fourth chances against those who usually
didn’t deserve the first chance at all. Due to
the combination of introverted intuition and
extroverted feeling, the INFJ feels compelled to
apply their empathetic approach to those who need
it most. Unfortunately, the people who require an
INFJ’s empathy are usually the ones that have deep
rooted issues of their own. Issues so difficult
to deal with that they can’t help but to project
their pain onto those who desperately want to help
them. This projected pain serves as the foundation
to some of the most hostile and cruel actions
that the INFJ is so often the victim of. And so,
while it usually takes more than one wrong doing
to send this forgiving type into true resentment,
lesson. Without a subtle grudge-holding energy,
INFJs may never take the appropriate action of
others learn the important lesson of what
happens when they don’t take into account
the damage done by their hurtful behavior.
Number 4: They can only truly forgive people
Now, despite the importance of holding some sort
of underlying resentment, there is in fact one
antidote to the painful grudges INFJs are known
to hold towards those who have done them dirty.
INFJs are only able to truly let go of a painful
grudge if the other person is able to prove that
they can see both sides of the argument. There’s
nothing worse for the INFJ type who so desperately
wants to avoid conflict than someone who thrives
on stubbornly trying to prove themselves right.
Whether it’s through gaslighting, minimizing the
hurt their actions have caused or pointing the
blame to take the pressure off of themselves,
those who aren’t willing to get on the INFJ’s
someone who can maturely take accountability
for their actions while thoroughly listening
to an INFJ’s in depth reasoning behind their pain
is easily forgiven with no strings attached. Even
if the INFJ decides to walk away, it’s in this
validation that they can genuinely feel at peace.
Most INFJs would hate to admit it, but deep down
inside, certain criticisms can really hit home.
Self-critical and perfectionistic, certain
a deep-rooted grudge that they’re not proud
of. Despite being said in a humorous manner,
or being expressed by someone they love, there’s
something within every INFJ that causes them to
ruminate about even the most light-hearted
surrounding their performance, their capabilities,
their hobbies, projects, or even their looks,
their underlying insecurities make it extremely
difficult for them to get over what someone has
said to them. In fact, despite playing it cool,
laughing it off and continuing a connection with
the individual, they will always associate that
person with triggering their already existing
self-doubt. They may even become more conscious
of how they do certain things around that person
due to feeling judged, despite knowing how
silly their approach to the situation is.
sometimes INFJs hold grudges for all the right
reasons. Similar to the effectiveness that comes
from the underlying resentment related to someone
continuously doing them wrong, INFJs can’t help
but to hold certain grudges when witnessing
particular people’s true character. They have
a strong moral compass and an even stronger
ability to sniff out other’s ill intentions,
making it difficult for them to turn a blind eye
to what they know is an act of immorality. Yet,
judgments on their assumptions of others,
own eyes just how toxic someone is. Despite
believing in giving others the benefit of the
doubt, there are certain character traits,
gestures and actions that go beyond a simple slip
in emotional regulation. Whether it’s a new date
being incredibly rude to the waiter, a family
member disrespecting another family member,
or a stranger with a swollen ego, once an INFJ has
seen what they’ve seen, there’s no unseeing it.
Number 7: Their envy gets the best of them
Ask any INFJ if they’re an envious person and most
of them would agree that they’re not. However,
anyone who lived through childhood and adolescent
years feeling confused as to why they can’t be
more life everyone else is more likely to have
some form of restenement with others as they
grow older. Although it may not even be totally
apparent to the INFJ themselves through their
conscious thought processes, this personality type
who has such high expectations for themselves may
actually hold underlying grudges to those who have
achieved what they desire Despite using other’s
accomplishments as their driving motivation, some
INFJs can’t bring themselves to be unconditional
happy for people who seem to have it easier than
them. Regardless of how much their logical brains
know that everyone is fighting their own battles,
and most people’s lives aren’t as picture-perfect
as they may seem from the outside looking in,
it doesn’t change their inner insecurities.
Whether it’s in relation to romance, career,
finances, children, looks or social life,
there’s something in every INFJ that sparks a
slight bitter-jealousy that is difficult to shake.
