5 WAYS INFJs KEEP SHOCKING EVERYONE

[@Wenzes]

What are some of the ways you seem to shock people left and right?

[@noname12.07]

They seem shocked every time I finally stop talking in a way they're comfortable with and start express my own unique thoughts lol

[@jessmason2112]

Always have a backup plan. The world is constantly changing. You have to be adaptable to each situation and figure it all out. Don't fight the river, flow with the river. Adversity is a great teacher by force. Being determined and having the courage to go it alone shocks many.

[@drewyoda]

Most people are surprised when i actually show them how smart I can really be when I want to. Because I’m laidback, most people think I’m actually not as dedicated or smart.

[@cavemanrob]

When listening to others have a conversation, I rarely add anything to the chatter. It's a waste of time and oxygen. When I choose to speak, it is usually in an attempt to help each side better understand the other. What "shocks" is the entirely different perspective the respective parties have most certainly either missed or ignored. The reaction from the room can vary, but all too often, the result is at least a moment or so of contemplative silence. I enjoy convincing others to see the world outside whatever foundational views they may hold. It keeps people on their toes.

There was one time In Highschool where all my friends had a group realization that I knew everything about their inner personal lives but they all knew next to nothing about mine. Which left them shocked. I thought at that time that would be a clue for them to start taking interest in my inner life for once. Nope lmao. Ten years later. DOORSLAM

[@mysticmardi]

thanks for the comment @darkaral I always wondered the same thing. why is that? why they don't see the same things we see? I call my eyes parietal eyes (insects/snakes) and they are all over my self. I just have to pick and choose which to focus on. But I am a sexagenarian infj. so I probably have triple the lifetime any of you precious souls reading this have. I could be wrong. I remember once as a tween-age girl I had a seance down cellar with all my little other tween girlfriends. We were dark wizards in training so we thoougt. But I had a record player and played my favorite song BACH'S TOCATTA AND FUGUE IN DMINOR. The room got quiet they all held hands candle burning, no one knows what is going to transpire. I dropped the needle. If you know this classical piece of music in Bach tuning it starts with a BANG. I didn't expect them to literally jump out of their seats and all scream at the same time. OOPS. Ya, that left a mark. the ~ Mystic

[@darkarai5241]

@@mysticmardi lol, You sure surprised them. I may have reacted the same way if I was in their shoes and didn't know the song. 😆 Ya, why don't people see the same things we see? Why don't more people think out of the box and use empathy? Age old questions I'm afraid. Maybe it's because they're young souls as you've put it. Maybe because a unique or difficult childhood forced us to think in different ways? maybe we're just wired different? All I know is I'd rather be a self thinker and try my best to do right by others even if it seems lonely at times. However, I believe like you the Universe is " the all "and we're all just aspects in the great play of creation. So in that way we're never alone!

[@robinhewitt5667]

After a lifetime I'm childhood my father narcissistic verbal physical and sexual abuse I always knew I was different, to everything I don't feel like a Survivor or a victim! Almost 56 years old as a woman mother and daughter I've spent 30 of those years as a black sheep having been disowned it's sad to say that doesn't bother me I like being alone I would rather struggle alone don't rely on anyone for anyting. Basically this whole video disguised me I stay away from people because I don't want to be pushed to the Limit and yet they still push me I've been diagnosed with PTSD with social stressors anxiety and depression

[@YAMISOOLD2009]

Hi Robin. I am around the same age. Not the same abuse background but I was diagnosed at a crisis center as having come from alcoholic parents though I didn't. But something in their parenting of me and my experience of severe bullying in elementary school caused me trauma. I consider it childhood emotional neglect now. Probably some PTSD as well. I have always been a black sheep in my family and it only continues as I age. But the difference is now that I know I am INFJ and that I see the world differently anyway, its not such a big deal. Stress is caused by wanting things a certain way and not being able to control them to make them that way. But once we start making our own path (beating down the stalks of corn to make a new path like Wenzes likes to use as an example) we start to feel much better about our life and our choices. And we can cut off those relationships that just cause us to stress and hold us back from progress. I wish for you and me the epic life that she is pointing us towards!

[@lindateuling7862]

I've probably surprised a lot of people with each one of these five points at some time or another. But the one that I know has surprised them is #5: "We're fiercely independent." It fits in well with #2: "We're strong minded deep down." I have a hunch that our independence doesn't show right away because our strong-mindedness is deep down. It doesn't just jump out right away. And yes, I do like to work out compromises and try do things in a way for both sides will benefit, and this gets noticed a lot more than my independent streak. However, for me, the independence shows up when people (1) tell me what I "should" think, feel, or do or (2) try to make me believe. In fact, sometimes I almost feel sorry for people who have tried and failed to convince me. 🙂 My usual response is just to keep doing what I'm doing the way I believe it needs to be done.

[@cherylclough1804]

Being underestimated is a great tactical skill. For example, if you are trying to take on a violent sociopathic extremist culture, it helps to be ignored and discounted. Especially at the beginning. Such kind are really good at recognizing ideas to co-opt, plagiarise, and purport as they own. Also, those who need to be "bought" "into the system". They despise and destroy anything they cannot co-oopt or control. So, for example, you have a plethora of paradigms offer alternative ways of thinking that identify, neutralize, and overturn sociopathic constructions and cultures - they are going to really double down to destroy you and those paradigms. One of my hypothesis is the kick *s prophets are sigma INFJs. They know how to scenario crunch, with intention, and identify the pathways and systems that can create redemptive nurturing systems and paradigms. If you follow the traditional methods and teachings, then the sociopathic lookouts see you coming and contrive to co-opt or destroy you. So how to start that rolling stone whilst ducking under their radars? Well, one thing is sociopaths do not really understand social and emotional intelligence. A lot of them have gone through training (adverse behaviors in educational, work, familial, or justice systems have called for them to be "reformed"). Most of them know that they do not become more socially or emotionally intelligent (in that they do not internalise empathy or remorse). What they do do is become better at playing the game, avoiding getting caught, acting contrite with crocodile tears when busted. So we had 2-3 years simply working on social and emotional intelligence and some feel good stuff about affirming peoples and nature. Wishy washy and irrelevant to these kind. They did not know there was a playbook "An Incovenient God." Then they lost the 2020 US elections, and were surprised, so did data mining. Sociopaths are really good at going over past events and picking out the patterns. They realized the wave had come from social and emotional intelligence, so they are now doubling down on censorship, propaganda, coercion and aggression enabling legislations and court determinations. The irony is that we can now be completely upfront about our agenda (message me if you want a copy of the book). Our agenda was written and set in stone December 2020-January 2021. They did not know our agenda but knew we were moving so they upped the ante on the most powerful and credible proof of authority. We won. We won because we got them to play their cards and demonstrate to the world their true characters, objectives, and methodologies. They might want to swing around and use the words of love, peace, nurturing - but their legislations and recordings prove them to be deceitful actors. The funny thing at this point in the game is they are like a shark that has taken the bait and it is now in their guts. The more they thrash and try to wrest control, the more they prove what they are and lose even more credibility. Sometimes, when you are trying to catch a big fish, you do not pull the hook too soon. You want to make sure it is well embedded, and you have made sure you have used the right fishing tackle so they cannot bite through the line or break the cords. You have also ensured there is a team of fishing folk who collectively have the strength and determination required to land that dangeous beast.

I can relate to sticking to a plan that requires time to get done. I like to write poems and lyrics, but also want to set those lyrics to music someday.

Us INFJs know about patience.

[@kurtking8452]

#3 I can truly relate to. When I was doing my nursing internship, that was about 20 years ago, I was on a certain location and I saw persons drawing blood and I said, I would like to do that and voila! I did the course last year and graduated at the top of my class. So, I never lost focus on what I planned to do in the long run.

[@hailgranite7445]

I subconsciously project sincere kindness, being a pushover, and being weak. I observe how people treat that persona that I project. I then act accordingly to how I will deal with this person moving forward. It’s funny how people who I thought was rough and tough avoid me, or they treat me totally different and more kind than ever before.

[@doubleambition5211]

I am a very quiet person in the beginning, but if I'm the one approaching people, I'm incredibly bubbly and chatty (but once my battery dies off it quiets down ;P). MOST people call me quiet, but they find themselves asking me for advice or how to approach a situation or even be vulnerable about a situation. And when a a situation occurs, everyone panics and remains confused. And there has been times when everyone attempts to contribute but doesn't listen to each other - I understand everyone and contribute all their ideas in one. If there is conflict or panic in the air, everyone gets worried but I kick straight into action not scared to act the leader. And maybe... no one expects me the quiet on the act when disaster strikes. But after that...their perception of me changes, they understand that I choose to be quiet.

[@capricornyearofthetiger]

Hi Wenzes, I hope you're well. I myself am an INFJ, but one of things I think might make a good discussion here is about the Myers-Briggs test itself. There are two really big ideas there that stand out to me that I hope you would talk about. 1. What is the relation between the INFJ and other types. 2. What about the test as a whole? Does it stand up to others personality tests like the big 5 or the MMPI. Myers-Briggs was designed in the 1930s I believe and although the foundation is true today there are strong similarities to other tests. Ironically I have scored similarly on other tests. But what does that mean?

[@kimtopology4257]

Every type goes through traumatic situations and can bounce back and be resilient not just INFJ'S INFJ'S make mistakes like everyone else they're are put on pedestals and everyone tells them they are special every type is special in their own unique way .
