Carl Jung: Intuition & The Introvert

Carl Jung speaks about intuition and the role it plays in the life of the introvert.

[@supremereader7614]

"The intuitive introvert has one of the most difficult lives (due to the difficulty of sharing) but also amongst the most interesting due to what their intuition tends to see )that other miss.")

[@shkdgg]

I have actually tried explaining this to people and I just get blank stares. Then I say nevermind.. I am boring and like the boring life.

[@brigettereissig5254]

I am one and this is so true! I love who I am but I'll admit that it can be isolating and lonely at times

[@TheRealJaded]

[@andyroobrick-a-brack9355]

​@@shkdgg Hell yes. The Introverted Intuitive and Sensation types have such a beautiful perception of things, things long past and yet to come all bundled into objects and essences.

[@hugoclarke3284]

Those reasons you put in brackets are not what Dr. Jung was saying

[@holla_j]

Im a very intuitive person. Also an introvert. I think very deeply. Small talk is a complete waste of time. Also makes me very suspicious of others. Believe it or not, I have been right about the "scandemic" the economic fallout and conspiracies. There are no more theories only conspiracies. I am constantly seeking the truth about everything.

[@temneyternup5553]

Small talk is such a red flag. It’s just so god damn obligatory too. If you don’t participate people think there is something wrong with you. Glad to know I’m not the only one. A lot of people “say” they hate small talk but I actually genuinely cannot take a person seriously if they can’t reciprocate an attempt to take the conversation somewhere meaningful. Might as well wear a sign that says “I don’t think very often and I’ll probably steal your jokes.”

[@Sara-qn9vp]

@Temney Ternup you really don't " think very often". You have an IQ of 82, thinking is hard for you.

[@LightKingDGH]

I have no grudge but I’m craved to live alone I feel stuck sometimes, I live with peaceful people but sometimes I feel their thoughts and emotions. I stay awake at night just for that alone time so I can feel myself Sometimes I wonder why I am like this, I am more happier alone I can choose my mood and instantly feel the emotions that comes with it, sadness or happiness whichever I feel the need to express I want to live with my heart and not my mind but I have to filter so many things when I talk and how I act Thinking fast so people don’t notice that I am calculating everything

[@abbey721road]

Marry me lol Empath woes and weaponry INFJ to a fault. Alone is both for my sanity but also for your identity. I long to have another mind who would love to discuss our energies all day and learn to grow together in desire and honor space for self realization. No absolutes yet an honor to enjoy good company while we walk home. Only met a few and my partner and father of our son died suddenly at 27. He’d be 40 today. Or son was 9 months is now almost 14. I’m wu wei and most egos cannot “hold on loosely but don’t let go”. Love is timeless and unconditional and uncomfortable bc change is the only constant. Just a little bit of tenderness and an intense feeling that I’m blocking a twin flame with my self love. Now I crave depth warmth compassion a cohost to what will surely become legendary awe inspiring clips of what I lovingly and honesty refer to as mind-fuxking. Thinking aloud

[@edgepixel8467]

You’re not the only one. Some people decide they’re better off living alone.

[@orangeziggy348]

You sound like an Infp. That is what I am also. I do everything that you described also. You helped me realize why I stay awake at night, bc my Fi needs space to feel itself and if I don't, then I absorb the feelings of the people I live with. I am also a slow thinker/responder socially so I react awkwardly and people gloss over me bc they feel too impatient to listen to me, but I have low Te that is causing all of that. Good luck friend

[@salvadorfonseca7]

Fellow infp-t checking in. Very humanizing to know others think the way you do. The mornings and nights are so relaxed because you don't need to interact with anyone or anything. I love my friends/family, but prefer to be alone most times. There's solace in solitude. Just felt like sharing.

[@GeeHood666]

Such is our lives.

[@mariecait]

I’m an infp who lives alone with two cats. It’s heaven. I rarely ever socialize because it’s too draining. I used to wish I was an extrovert but one embraced my true self in recent years. Own who you are ! Others will respect you for it 😊

[@justinparr4399]

Cats (and dogs) are great company for those who prefer to be alone. Cats are also very entertaining and hilarious in their day to day actions.

[@mariecait]

@@justinparr4399 very ! Love them so much.

[@weirdlywired7484]

Hello fellow infp

[@ryans.4715]

Thanks for this comment. Wishing to be someone else had kept me relapsing on heroin forever

[@morebirdsandroses]

Wow! A lot of things here. Greetings to fellow precious INFPs. Cats are worth their weight in wonder and entertainment. As for extroversion, I also wished for it, but I finally saw it would be boring. Perception is precious, and so are you!😸💗🦋🌿

[@bulletkulet9648]

Thru experience i have develop my character, i had a trauma when i was a kid and having trouble speaking up when i was in highschool. Being intuitive will really make you question your sanity, thank God i'm still as cheerful as i was little.

[@gypsylee73]

I am a female INTJ (something crazy like 1.6% of women, 3% total). Intuitive introverts find sensory input which they don't choose (or like) torturous. Our inner life is so powerful we need our environment to be very peaceful and comfortable.. Not easy in this culture 😶 I have been nocturnal from a young age because at night I get some peace. What a brilliant man Jung was. Psychology and psychiatry made a very very big mistake dismissing him as a mystic. 🌹🔥🍂💨🌊🌹

[@oooo1743]

Thats why i think intjs are exelent architects.They like peace and dream about such placies in reality(Se) where can experience everything they want free from the noisy outside world.They can do that also for others but maybe its hard for them with all the datta input from ppl.Im pretty sure its hard to read every individual or group of ppl because the new info is too much. P.S. I don't know why but when i found about the function i picture Ni dom as the ppl who told others where to build pyramid,temple etc.

[@supremereader7614]

I REALLY like what you said there, do you want to get to know each other a little better? Maybe we can talk by email.

[@ahd200]

Same here would be interested in emailing as I have a similar intj personality

[@Leon-ur5uk]

As an intj I can confirm. People around me often don't understand me because I hardly want to talk to them.

[@thranduiloropherion7756]

Omg me too! I really have no intention to being arrogant or anything but ppl always hurt me directly or indirectly.

[@santinamarie4699]

I actually never had children because my emotional and mental life was so difficult and intense. I'm an infj heyoka empath. I'm 57 now and it's taking me this long to figure things out even though I've been quite diligent at studying Behavior most of my life. I thank God for Carl Jung. He literally saved my life.

[@BlackDahlia-et6td]

I would like to ask you questions.. I too think I may be heyoka amongst other things and I’m still a bit lost

[@wordup897]

Wow, that's crazy. I'm 55 and same thing, I'm infj raised by a malignant narc and was afraid I'd inflict the same pain and couldn't bear the thought so I passed. Best wishes to you and check out Gabor Mate if you haven't yet.

[@pamgori8008]

Add me to the list..no children by choice because of a Covert Narcissist mother..empath...musician..precognitive..only child..scapegoat..we wake up in our middle-age because we stay silent due to the shame and guilt we have had to face..even blending in is hard..neurotypicals just seem to know..it's a good thing..we can express our unique nature and accept our different God given gifts..take care..and don't feel guilty..share with others so they can Have the courage as well..remember You ROCK BABY🎸.. BOSTON ☘️

[@lizkeedy]

I'm the same, but INFP and 53. Had a narc mother. I'm a hermit now, fully embracing my gifts and using them to help others through KZbin. My psychic world is far more interesting and uplifting than my 3D world.

[@flowergirl7260]

Same. 57 and never had children due to intense inner life. It's actually quite rich and creative and interesting though. Been told I'm a heyoka empath which requires a lot of discernment re: who you choose to spend time with. But i would not give up my intuition for anything. Lately people have been trying to make me more outward, not realizing i'm okay with an hour or two of interacting a day. They also don't understand my not feeling inclined towards weddings or funerals. . Or world-dramas.

[@Astro8way]

Thank you very much for this beautiful words by the great C.G Jung.

[@r.w.bottorff7735]

So cool hearing him elaborate on this uncommon subject, even today, there is little in the way of research about it. I imagine that many introverts out there actively attempting to hone their intuition are also seeking other precious pieces of information regarding this subject similar to this. Thank you for sharing it!

[@justinparr4399]

You’re welcome! I’m happy to see so many people finding this helpful.

[@gina000]

Indeed.

[@segueoyuri]

unfortunately there is little research in all the topics Jungian psychology branches out. And even the research and discussion Jungian professionals bring to light seem to frighten and unsettle most people.

@@justinparr4399 pretty much every word this man ever said was helpful lol post anything you find please!

[@anothenymously7054]

Does anyone here have experience with active imagination or automatic expressions like automatic writing or painting? I'm an INTP, although I think such classifications are useless. I feel like, for introverted intuitive types, art is the salvation from our brains. Why else would many of us have such vivid imaginations that go of their own accord in long ruminating thoughts? Why not try to use it for good? That's the idea. I hope to find others with similar goals, especially anyone who agrees with Jung's mission. I think I came to similar conclusions as him on worldly things, and my fantasies ultimately led me to his works. I'm shamelessly going over the edge and not taking him too seriously and finding my way.

[@amdiary7]

I totally relate to that

[@NoOne-wt6om]

Introverted Irrationals (IN and IS) are the most interesting types imo.
