@@adamagustus1316 True. @Anna You'd just have to accept who you are and accept the weird side of you - a walking contradiction or a idealistic person. Get a better understanding of the deeper meaning of yourself and the things around you. I had to internally fight with myself to discover my choice of siding with following Christ or following the accepted behaviour of the social crowd. It doesn't necessarily have to be spiritual but as an INFJ who seeks deep meaning to things I think the spiritual soon makes sense but first better understand yourself in the madness that is in us.

I'm an infj too and this is so relatable. People always ask questions like, "how do you view yourself?" or "describe yourself" My answer is in between "a walking contradictory" or "ticking bomb" which most people wonder and just laugh it off. I'm not even lying. To me, it's easy to discard people from my life. And this scares me. It's relatively easy to hate rather than love. Even trying to be natural is hard. It's even harder just to make sure my emotions are under control. I'm scared of myself. Really but at the same time, I love who I am. This darkness is mine alone. The madness is mine to hold. It's my job to have both and suppressed them. Although this do makes my intj, intp and infp bestfriends worried a bit. I assure them that my sanity is still intact.

[@Mayakran]

My friend once told me that if I didn’t have such a strong moral code, I’d be scary because of my ability to manipulate, my ability to eschew empathy in favor of cold logic to achieve my goals, and my sort of appreciation for what you might call machiavellian tactics. Luckily, I’m a very kind and loving person (and have historically had crippling social anxiety so no politics for me ha ha), but I can easily see how this sort of personality can be so dangerous as a leader. It’s also nice to see a video about our dark, cruel side as opposed to just this continual ego stroking about how we’re sensitive beautiful unicorns. And it’s interesting seeing the INFJ reactions in the comments, just a lot of casual acceptance and pragmatism all like “yup, that’s how it is sometimes.” That seems to be a main way to tell the “real” INFJ’s apart from those who have been mistyped (mainly INFP’s)-if you make a video addressing the faults of an INFJ, the ones who get outraged because how DARE you insult their super special, beautiful type are generally INFP’s. The correctly-typed INFJ’s tend to hear the information and either quietly self-flagellate or nod along, curious about how to integrate this new knowledge without judgement. Of course it’s not this cut and dry, it’s just a trend I’ve noticed. INFP’s generally also wouldn’t be willing to sacrifice people (being focused on all of them as individuals) in order to achieve Utopia, whereas an INFJ serving Ni can make a LOT of uncomfortable sacrifices to see their vision become a reality.

[@CarstenTMacDonald]

I agree with this wholeheartedly.

[@CairistionaO]

Yeah, i understand this. My mum says it looks as if I wouldn’t say boo to a goose but I’m actually a cold hearted bitch. (I agree). There’s few people that I allow to see my terrifyingly cold side, so I’m often mistyped as nice and nothing else.

[@EvilUmagon]

Correct. I'm also an INFJ and I've always sensed the potentiality within me to be a perfect "villain", if it wasn't for the worldview I have or was ruled more dominantly by hatred or a desire for power over others. While I'm extremely empathic, I sense that there is a switch to turn it off, especially if it is for a larger goal. If I truly thought (because of some idealistic ideas and a particular worldview) that it would be the right thing to for example kill millions of people, I'd do it, and probably feel completely justified in doing so. INFJs are very paradoxical. I'm empathic and caring, yet cold and logical in another sense. I'm an ambassador for love and connection, yet if I was more severely emotionally/spiritually wounded or consumed by a desire for power over others, I believe I'd be a very dangerous individual. I can sense some of the typical lust for power one sees with certain characters in movies etc. within myself as well. It is (fortunately) just not a dominant voice within me.

I was somehow hit by the line "It isn't the strong, powerful men and women we need to be afraid of, it's the weak ones".

[@arkboi2145]

INFJ here. ^ Around 5:00, I'd like to add that INFJ's are naturally highly inquisitive, perceptive, and defensive. They see through the haze unto the truth of the world as it currently is, and they also know the potential of the world as it could be. INFJ's tend to have higher moral and ethical standards than other personality types. Because of that, they have a strong sense of justice and can easily discern right from wrong, which lends this sense of justice to be one of their core values and driving forces. As such, INFJ's instinctively (intuitively) know when people or practices are shady, wrong, and/or at fault. However, this sense of justice has a tendency to go into a very dark place if left unchecked. Especially when an INFJ knows better and has more knowledge and/or experience in something, but people refuse to listen to them and understand them. As such, INFJ's have almost no tolerance for willful ignorance and idiocy or rude and unpleasant people. So when an individual or group of people willfully refuse to seek out information and the truth, refuse to listen to logic and reason, refuse to be helpful and constructive, and hopelessly cling to old ways due to familiarity and safety; it outright infuriates an INFJ. And having such a completely different mindset and value set than the majority leaves an INFJ feeling isolated and alone. This kind of treatment over a prolonged period of time becomes a poison that seeps into an INFJ's mind, and that is where an INFJ begins their descent into madness. A madness that turns every thought into a "me" vs "them" mentality. They begin to believe that the world is completely against them. That they utterly alone in their beliefs and values. That they are right, and everyone else is clearly wrong. They are clearly superior to the inferior flock of mindless sheep, content in their isolated bubble of blissful ignorance. And if these sheep will not regulate themselves, then one must do it for them. If the sheep will not change, then change must be brought about for them...this kind of eventuality, unfortunately, led to one of the world's worst dictators in history, Hitler. I think it's incredibly fitting that you used Daenerys Targaryen, The Mother of Dragons, at 2:25 as an example of an INFJ as many have often noted that INFJ's tend to have the personality and behavioral traits in which one would associate with a dragon.

[@CarstenTMacDonald]

[@DanLaw559]

I agree. I am an INFJ anarchist, however that would make more sense if I wrote out what that means to me. These days words like anarchist, anarchy, and anarchism seem to have lost all meaning. None the less I believe in balance like freedom with responsibility, but also leaders and guidelines rather than rulers and laws, independence as a foundation in one's life using cooperation to exceed the limitations of acting alone. If ever I go dark, I will seek to rule not liberate, and if that happens, as I've said even before discovering I am an INFJ, I would far exceed Hitler.

This is a reality I have had to fight with as an infj. My parents are quite narcissistic. It's been a struggle being the only person in the family who could see through all the crap, what our family could be and so on, I was the black sheep. My brother had a PTSD attack and wanted to make it his personal mission to hurt my parents and I had a dark thought. I thought about how easy it could have been to use him as my own revenge tool against my parents, to show them the pain they caused us. In just a few moments I got his attention. Instead, I decided to forgive and used his example to show them that I was right about our family and to enforce changes for the better. An INFJ is standing on the edge, they may either jump over or stay on land. I would be lying if I said I never had those thoughts.

[@DM-hw9rz]

I am a Clinical Psychologist with 30 years of experience dealing with people. I was branded a INFJ quite sometime ago. I never really accepted that evaluation because placing 'labels' on people puts them into a box. It limits their potentiality and personal growth. At worse, it can destroy a individual's self determination and freedom. However, the Myers Briggs Personally Test is interesting but somewhat incomplete. I have never encountered a 'classical' INFJ before. Why? Because certain characteristics of this personality type have many subgroups some of which overlap other MBTI personality types. That being said I will describe the characteristics of how a 'orthodox' INFJ thinks, behaves and responds in strict accordance with the MBTI Personalty Test. Be forewarned, I find some INFJ 'stereotypes' rather funny. And will approach such in a humorous fashion. INFJ's posess a wonderfully sense irony and will immediately recognize the silly 'stereotypes' others have attrubuted to them.....So let's start breaking some myths about the INFJ Personalty Type When a INFJ gives you the dreaded 'Death Stair' they are not attempting to understand you. They are wondering if you're carrying a gun. Killing INFJ's is a pleasurable experience. Why? Because everyone hates a smart ass. INFJ's frequently experience 'Sensory Overload' issues. They love Forests, Parks and Woodland areas to recharge their batteries. Why? Because trees don't talk! A squirrel cannot complain it has 'Daddy Issues'. Pine trees do not suffer from 'gender identity' problems. And I have never seen a bunny rabbit strung out Crack Cocaine. Solitude is bliss. Never say to a INFJ, 'I do not understand', They will run away screaming or jump infront of a bus. No one understands them. INFJ's sometimes don't even understand themselves. INFJ's feel uncomfortable being around large groups of people. However, once you get them talking, they never shut up. Adolf Hitler, Martin Luther King and Gandhi were historical INJF's. You cannot win a argument with this Myers Briggs Personality type. They will always win... until they get shot. Why do a INFJ 'Door Slam' people? Because it's called a Coping Mechanism. They dislike being emotionally hurt. There is nothing strange about this behavior.. Some people become acholics others pill poppers. INFJ's will just run away and pretend you never existed. INFJ's have the psychic ability to absorb people's emotions. No. This is phenomen is called 'Transference'. If you continuously talk about your problems, a INFJ will unconsciously adopt some aspects of your emotional state. However, INFJ's posess strong identities which prevents them from going completely insane. INFJ's are the most honest, compassionate and sensative people on Earth. Not really. Mother Nature just screwed them up genetically. They're brains are hard wired to respond during crisis situations. A 'diehard' INFJ will instinctively sacrifice their life attempting to save yours. No questions asked. Why? I have no freaking idea. I didn't invent the rules. Ask God. I'm sure She knows. INFJ's think differently than others. Yes. They think outside the box. They live outside the box. They have never actually seen the box. What does it look like? Does it contain groceries? INFJ types are occasionally arrogant, cold towards others and aloof. This is actually true. Being omnipotent has its drawbacks. INFJ's have a difficult time sugar-coating the truth. Being overtly honest is their trademark. If they sense someone cannot handle the truth, they will lie to protect that person's emotions. INFJ's are stubborn yet will openly admit to errors in judgment or making mistakes. INFJ's think too deeply. They want to solve everyone's problems. They get frustrated when people ask for advice - then completely ignore their recommendations! They do not understand why everyone keeps making the same mistakes over and over again. Eventually, a INFJ will simply give up. The phrase 'People need to learn things the hard way' was invented by a INFJ. So was the 'unfriend' button on Facebook. INFJ's do not respect authority because they have developed their own Moral, Ethical, Spiritual and Cognative belief systems. Mature (older) INFJ's care very little about how people perceive them and less about the impressions they make upon others. INFJ's enjoy approval and acceptance (like everyone else) but infrequently compromise their princepals to simply fit in. Do not mistake a INFJ's confidence as egocentrismn. There is a difference. INFJ's are frequently interpreted as posessing a Narcissist Personalty Disorder. This stereotype is absolutely false. A Narcissist loves adoration and attention. The typical INFJ cares more about others than themselves, sometime to their own detriment. INFJ's dislike themselves. They feel alone within the world and misunderstood. Being a INFJ a curse. Consequently, a small minority INFJ's often experience psychological Depression, Alienation Issues and Avoident Behavior problems. The phrase 'You are your own worst enemy' accurately describes a INFJ's perception of themselves. The most admirable personality traits of the INFJ are (1) INFJ's are compassionate which makes them a easy targets for emotional exploitation and abuse. Never play 'Guilt Games' with a INFJ. They already persecute themselves (subconsciously) for being different. (2) They don't have the ability to forgive themselves for past mistakes, A INFJ's unforgiving 'Guilt Complex' is an integral part of their personality. INFJ's have occasionally been known to slowly kill themselves over time, believing they deserve such suffering. 'Hell on Earth' is their punishment and they willing accept it....sometimes. Not always. (3) Once you secure the trust of a INFJ, everything about them suddenly becomes clear. The stereotypes vanish. These are people you want within your life. They have incredible insight into human nature and will identify your weaknesses and lift you up from darkness. Seeing the world through a INFJ eyes is the greatest gift they can offer. It would be impossible to understand a MBTI typology without stating the negative traits of a specific personality group. The 'Dark Side' of a INFJ is rather frightening. Never test their 'Authenticity' or personal dignity. Do not play games with a INFJ. They have limitations like everyone else. A INFJ can determine your intentions or plans within minutes. Literally. This Hyperobservient behavior is quite unique. Avoid getting into heated arguments with a INFJ unless you are prepared to be intellectually, emotionally or psychologically castrated. They have cognitive resources almost beyond understanding. A vindictive INFJ will never stop until they destroy your life (this has nothing to do with physical murder). Such behavior is almost Psychopathic in nature (hence the concern INFJ's may be catorgized as possessing a Psychological Disorder rather than a Personality Dysfunction). Fortunately, INFJ's are not prone to violent behavior. They give up easily, This is where the 'Door Slam' or simply walking away from an argument comes from. Once they reveal their true inner nature, you will begin to understand why only 1% of the world's population are INFJ's. They are so dam charming. INFJ's dislike small talk, idle conversations, superficial people and hypocrites. Life is too short talking to such individuals (but they understand its occasionally necessary to be socially accepted) INFJ's are not spontaneous. They just pretend to be spontaneous. Their minds are always attempting to 'connect the dots'....when there are no dots! Avoid getting into deep conversations with a INFJ. They are walking encyclopedias. They will jump from topic to topic then back again to support a idea or theory. Male INFJ's are 'scattered brained' in the worst way possible. But there is method to such madness. The are searching for the correct answer to a specific problem. And 95% of the time they will discover it... or have a complete nervous breakdown trying. Occasionally, you will notice a INFJ acting mysteriously, doing unusual things or just behaving weird. Get used to this behavior. It has absolutely nothing to do with you. The INFJ is just going through a 'stage' or experimenting with something that interests them. Like building a Thermonuclear Bomb or discovering a cure for Herpes. Never tell a INFJ they have a 'Old Soul'. They are absolutely terrified of being reincarnated again. INFJ's are acutely aware that neither Heaven or Hell wants them. Why? Because God doesn't need the extra competition on who should run Heaven (Him or a INFJ) and Satan can't deal with a INFJ pestering him for all eternity....that would be considered cruel and unusual punishment. Aliens will never abduct a INFJ. There are some things too bizarre even for Extraterrestrials. Men of all ages, groups and backgrounds fall instantly in love with INFJ women. They give the appearance of a graceful dove. Pure and innocent. No. They are just horny guys. Beware. INFJ's have a difficult time forming a thought or idea into words. Yes. Someday... somewhere,...a INFJ will develop telekinesis and scare the hell out of everyone. So next time you accidentally encounter a INFJ, break all COVID 'Social Distancing' issues and hug them. INFJ's are a endangered species. Literally. Whatever purpose they were created for has already been accomplished. There represent only 1% of 7.7 billion people on planet Earth according to MBTI statistics. In my opinion, this Myers Briggs Personality represents the noblest aspects of humanity....Intelligent, Wise, Caring, Virtuous, Altruistic and Protective. And they have a excellent sense of humor (wink).

[@andymorgade7137]

As an INFJ, I knew how much "darkness" I have. I know I'm a good manipulator, I know I can sound radical, I know I can be proud, and stubborn with my ideas and I can get frustrated with people with a closed mind. I also know that I could be cruel precisely because I know people and I know what can hurt them. I always try to keep myself on my moral code, I try to use these manipulatives abilities to see other manipulators and protect myself and others. I also think that INFJs are somewhat similar to Slytherins. We can be ambitious, with ideas and concepts that others could not see or even understand. We are cunning and good manipulators, and leaders but we can be drawn to darkness out of our ideals or the people that we cared for. We want to improve the world, but the concept of improvement is different for each person or each group of persons, so we can feel tempted to use our capacity to manipulate and to be seen as a leader to make others see our vision, or even, to impose it. The unofficial motto is "It is the end that justifies the means". We can see this also in characters like Itachi Uchiha from Naruto. He does something terrible, and evil, by killing almost all his family except for his younger brother. He is blind by his obsession with peace due to all the wars he lived that he was able of the worst things for this idea of peace. And even with this horrible act, everybody that knew his tragic story described him as a good person, as someone who thought as a Hokage when he was only a child. He thought about the "greater good". Ironically, Itachi, Daenerys and even Hitler share more than the INFJ type: the responsibility of being the leader and the symbol of their societies and ideas. I always think that, sometimes, INFJs tend to be trapped in these big roles, even when, sometimes, we don't want it. INFJ is usually described as the most misunderstood type because they are the rarest of them all, and I think part of this is because people do not tend to see us as "persons" but as symbols, leaders, friends, someone others can trust. In any case, I'm just wandering. I love this type of content! I have studied literature in college and I always like to see different types of analyses.

[@mereihatanaka241]

Same, I think I have 2 sides of a coin. I can be really quiet, patient and be understanding but if my values and principles are crossed, I can really have this angry, scary energy that even I don't know where it came from.

[@loupiote2315]

I think you didn't mention something that is really important for this subject: INFJ are highly empathetic people. Which means only a trauma that led them to madness (or a traumatic experience that showed them brutally that a certain thing in the system hurt people too bad and that it should be changed) could lead them to hurt others. Also, as an INFJ, I could tell that I sincerely wish the best for everyone - even people who annoy me, are cold or mean toward me etc - but as soon as someone is acting manipulative toward others, or generally toxic for our society, this person is automatically out of my life, and I advise my friends to do the same. I won't fight them or anything, I'll just ignore them, and (from experience) I think that's how most of the INFJs would react. And I'm sorry, but I don't really think your example was genuinely relevant, since before being and INFJ, Hitler was seriously mad and psychopathic. People often take him for example to describe the INFJ's dark side, but honestly, anyone who becomes crazy is a threat for our society, regardless of their mbti types.

[@CarstenTMacDonald]

Well Hitler also had a traumatic event. He was injured during WW1. He wasn't just crazy either. He was a very smart and capable man. Empathetic too. People tend to portray him as some sort of psychopathic monster but he wasn't. That's the scary part. He was a lot nicer than anyone should be comfortable with.

[@loupiote2315]

Carsten T. MacDonald I know we can argue on this, but I think being crazy does not necessarily means not being capable, a good orator or coherent. However to me, someone who sees people's agony but does not feel empathy is by definition a psychopath. Well, maybe as you said, Hitler's INFJ type helped him to speak in a convincing way, to be bold enough to achieve what he wanted to achieve, but any sane INFJ would be too empathetic to watch billions of people dying and be okay with that. (I know that you weren't saying in your videos that all INFJs are dangerous people, but I just wanted to point out this)

[@occultboi1891]

@@loupiote2315 you are right but we are forgetting one thing here Hitler never considered those billions as people he channeled his empathy towards a specific group of people. he had anxiety attacks. why? just like we over-analyze everything, the thought that those billions were people might have crossed his mind, he might have for a second felt mournful, but he tried to stop this with medication and stubbornly continued in his path. if you read Hitler autobiography you'll understand how he was convinced that the billions were monsters while caring and feeling love for his "fellow men". he wrote so much about how he feels and that shows that he is not a psychopath, he just channeled his emotions towards a particular cause.

It's these cruel sparks within you that move us forward, that guide you through the dark, warm you in the cold, help you at your worst. It is this fire inside of us that unites us together and connects us all. It is unstable, it is wild, it will burn. But like all wild things, it can be tamed. But if it is not it will burn until there is nothing left, in which it will die out. Only when it's task is complete or it's fuel has run out. But while we live, while you breathe, there is hope for us yet. The Flame is imperishable, for if it does not burn in us, it burns in the universe. Whether it is us or the next, the fire burns on, flowing like a river, flickering like a flame."

This explains a lot, honestly. I’ve always felt like a leader, I may sound cheesy or exaggerated but I really do feel like it’s in my nature to lead people. I feel like if given the chance- I can be someone who can change, improve and really exert my vision onto people. In my class, however, I wasn’t known to be someone who can be a leader of a group project or an activity- so when I get the chance to be the leader, I always give the best that I could do to prove to people that I can be the best. Now people in my class know, but I feel like it’s not enough. Sometimes it also scares me how I can manipulate people so easily and persuade them while getting in their head subtly. I grew up being introverted, quiet and nice- people tend to trust me a lot because of those qualities. I know a lot of secrets that I can literally just betray everyone in my life in a snap. But i’m trying to be a good person, which is hard to do but I try to choose it everyday. But it’s still scary how I have the tendency to go mad and violent and how my thought revolves around that thought like it’s some sort of a backup plan.

We make sure that we interact each and every person who follows us with empathy & compassion. And the results are incredible. It feels like I've gained a new family out of nowhere. And instead of planning to burn cities, we are all working towards uplifting each other in life professionally with better jobs, references, business advice and motivation.

@Indigo Rodent Nah, Bellucci is an obvious ISFP. They both share the same dominant Fi function tho.

[@c.s.70]

@Indigo Rodent Her famous sensuality for one, the degree of ease of control over her body and awareness of her physicality and environment, very natural. More measured and controlled Se in Aux position as opposed to dominant Se types who are more impulsive and all over the place. ISFP can be impulsive & charismatic in a fun Se way as well depending on their mood, but not as sloppy as ESFPs. When angry ISFPs can be physically aggressive. They have a veiled aggression potential behind them. (INFPs fight like hamsters and sulk petulantly, like children.) INFPs by contrast are Se blind, their weakest function. They are usually clumsier with their physicality (usually in a cute, endearing way) and their environment and can't stomach aggression. Inexperienced INFPs are oblivious to the effect of their external presentation, esp. choice of clothes, lack sense of style similar to INTPs. Obviously as they get older with more experience if they develop their Si, their external style can get better.

[@jasminenassar932]

V from V for Vendetta?

[@jasminenassar932]

Indigo Rodent I wouldn’t necessarily say he’s the opposite, but I see your point. INFP becomes pretty ruthless when on a personal mission to defend ideals they consider important. Are you suggesting INFP can’t be athletic? That’s strange. Besides, V became “athletic” as part of his mission - as far as we know. He seems pretty strong INFP to me, especially if you shed the common misconceptions most people have about this type.

[@rhodrymaelwaedd1270]

I’m in one of the lowest and darkest points of of my life right now where I have almost nothing to lose. Just barely over that point of no return. Throughout my life I’ve gone through some horrible suffering and injustices that gradually ripped my innocence away. I keep having so many violent thoughts against other people, and the world, but mostly against myself. My idealism and a faint glimmer of hope is keeping my acting these out at bay. I guess I’m thankful I’m too much of an introverted INFJ to be a leader lmao

I think the scariest thing about being an INFJ is that with the right (or wrong, depending on how you look at it) series of circumstances one can go from one extreme to the next good or bad.

[@nesrinesth1]

So, as an german INFJ living in Sweden I know that way to many people underestimate me, but the once who have seen the extreme rare explosions I had know, I litteraly become the definition of evil and there is no stopping me. Good thing this hasn't happened in over 10 years and I have become more one with my feelings and how to controll my anger, but the rage inside is hard to keep in, especially when people just are stupider then I thought.

I find it very easily to manipulate others, but because it goes against my moral code, I will never go that direction. This makes it easier for me to warn others when they are being manipulated by someone else.

[@hellomickey6166]

I am infj , I still don't understand my abilities and the special gift that I have as an infj person , but one thing that I really feel is my ability to encourage others with just my words and my advice, and what I feel the most is my ability to absorb other people's energy and detect atmospheric moments that occur right away. I will be very tired when a few days of my life to deal with other people, and I need the same few days to rest from outside contact, read anything, listen to classical music can calm my raging mind. I don't know that INJ can be dark, I don't want to be dark for others! but I still can't use my gift to become an infj, I always try my best every day!

[@journeyscribe6534]

Wow. This video is fantastic! Thank you for the depth of thought you put into this analysis; I couldn't look away! It is a dizzying revelation to know an INFJ could turn into Hitler or be like Jesus Christ; I literally feel dizzy after watching this video. I have seen many Christian INFJ's comment on this video, and that fills me with hope for this world. I know what I am capable of, if I can get past my fear, my anger, and my lack of trust in even myself. All other INFJ's are capable of the same. I was granted the incredible fortune of seeing Jesus and God for who they truly are. I feel such anger and such love for every person in the world, and it often brings me to paralyzing grief, sobbing in my bed, because I feel the world's agonizing pain (the pain of every person who is lost, afraid, or feels utterly ignored or unloved), and I see how this world could be whole and without pain or sorrow. In the newer Murder on the Orient Express film (I don't recall if this line is also in the book), Detective Hercule Poirot remarks, "I can only see the world as it should be. And when it is not, the imperfection stands out like a nose in the middle of a face. It makes most of life unbearable. But, it is useful in the detection of crime." The problem is...I don't know where to begin with this knowledge, and I'm terrified of wasting it. It's too important to me to let myself ruin it. In the same way, the true character of God is a perfect balance between logic and emotion. He knows justice more than we could ever comprehend and does what is necessary for His creation, but He loves so deeply that He will hang on to each of us like the purest parent and lover, no matter how many times we turn our backs or reject Him. An INFJ is similarly capable of mercy and love, but we have to temper it with logic, which is a very difficult task for us. Thankfully, I married an INTJ! And though we could turn out to be a terrifyingly villainous couple, we also balance each other with logic and love, hoping to improve the world with our united Ni but complementary Fe and Te. Thank you again for the video! It truly was breathtaking and clarifying!

[@CarstenTMacDonald]

Thank you so much for sharing this! It is amazing to read how well received my content was. That means a lot to me. Glad you found an INTJ in your life you can get along with. They can be some of the best companions in the world.

The laughed and called me mad lol. I just discovered Mbti a few months ago (I am an ENTP, which means I am special) and this is so enlightening. I feel like it is difficult to understand the cognitive functions without reference. Especially those of rare types, like INFJs. Hence, why I really value your videos. I believe this channel is becoming one of the best Mbti related channels :). I am going to do something I rarely do right now: turn on the notification bell!

[@august1224]

I’m an INFJ and this video seriously struck a cord with me. I see so much pain in the world, in my personal life & the news/social media/etc. It makes me sad, but I’m never hopeless. I have this vision of making things better, and I know it sounds dumb, but I want to be an english teacher. I’ve had some seriously influential teachers in my life & I want to be that for a kid, and help them and educate them and just do little things that they’ll remember forever. That will remind them there is good in the world. Other times, the anger I can get inside of me honestly scares me? I don’t usually show it - at least never ever to it’s full extent - unless it’s raising my voice more than usual. I’ve never said something mean or hurt anybody, and I don’t think I ever could, but sometimes I think about it. I hope nothing happens to me that makes me have nothing to lose, because at the moment I have a lot, and without it I don’t know what I would do. Like others have mentioned, it’s usually at people’s willful ignorance. Nothing makes me angrier than that. Sometimes I’m angry at my siblings, sometimes it’s the world, but boy do I get angry. I thought I was the only INFJ like this because nobody ever talked about it. I really loved this video. Like a lot of other people are saying, INFJs are usually just depicted as ever-so-lovely, beautiful people with the purest of minds. But there’s more to it than that under the surface that nobody acknowledges, so really, thank you for making this

[@ashlazdanovich8396]

This is one of the best worded videos explaining the INFJ I’ve ever seen. As an INFJ I can see where our emotions can get in the way and make us believe in certain things stubbornly. I often disregard when other people are correct because I had thought through the situation thoroughly and now others are telling me I’m wrong. Our stubborn nature can be a problem that’s for sure. Regardless I have found ways to calm myself and think through from the other persons perspective as best I can before speaking. I have also formed a habit of asking questions when I don’t understand something so that my stubbornness doesn’t get the best of me too much. This has taught me that it’s ok to be wrong, as long as you’re trying to improve and better yourself. Thank You for this excellent video.

[@CarstenTMacDonald]

Thank you for this!

[@ashlazdanovich8396]

Carsten T. MacDonald Your Welcome.

[@rubaidazereen9331]

this is so on point. as an INFJ I totally get what kind of destruction we can do. When life endlessly knock you out and you know how the other people are doing it to you. You know that you can destroy them in a second. we know how to to play the dirt 100 times better than them. But then I guess most of the INFjs have strong ethics. Our Ni Ti allow us to go deeper why we should not do that. that's why sometimes I fear myself.

[@coffeenutta2488]

Cheers for that great vid. I am an INFJ and know how dangerous my feelings can become. I can honestly say, Now above all my greatest fear is myself and what I am capable of.

[@Soumyadip0201]

As an infj, I know what it's be like when you are judged and misunderstood, loved and hated at the same time but still you want to save everyone just because you don't want to be like them. Trust me, we are the ones who can make a real change in the world, but how good or bad that change will be doesn't only depends on us but it also (and mostly) depends upon the world. How the world forges us from the outside and how WE forge us from the inside will be the ultimate answer to this question - who we are and what can we do to the world... Thank you ☺️

[@thepupil1013]

I love how dangerous this video always makes me feel! Oddly, I do fear myself less now lol. This resonates with a thought that has haunted my mind for years, years I thought I was becoming a villain.

[@lex6819]

Another thing I have observed is when I'm using my introverted intuition to solve for something, I actually experience some kind of dopamine rush. My brain experiences pleasure when I'm in that particular mind state. So, not only are we INFJs seeing the better world, but our brains are rewarding us for it, which might make interventions by others futile. We're getting high off of it, essentially.

[@faunaria7127]

this is why i invest myself in stoicism, not completely, but a lapse of sanity. i always try to keep myself in check, because my anger brings out my villainous instincts to destroy what i feel like doesn't fit with my ideals, or completely crush someone in ways. though my bad side would take over sometimes, keeping it in check will suffice.

[@QualifiedClean]

To me, INFJ is all about innate duality, particularly with age. In our youth, we swallow peoples bile for the sake of peace, and that is what I believe causes a disturbed explosive type, but with maturity we turn in to a mirror that allows the perpetrator to see themselves, and while that doesn't always make us popular, it keeps us balanced in a world that is becoming increasingly overwhelming to someone who absorbs everything. The character that optimises my struggle is Frodo, Lords of the Rings; this small innocuous soul, dwarfed by legends and the admired, yet charged with taking care of something that would rip them all apart at the seams and take the stratosphere with them. That's the INFJ... we do it so others don't have to. I really believe we are the strangest sane people to walk the planet - one person but a twin within. If you know an INFJ, they're probably the strongest person you'll (n)ever know.

[@naimastayfarming2970]

Boy I went the opposite way in life. I absolutely cannot stand anybody telling me what to do. and I do not want to have to tell anybody else what to do. Anybody that wants control of other people makes me sick. In my imaginary Utopia, everyone is equal. Nothing in the society we live in makes any sense at all.

[@celestecastillo4034]

I often come back to this video to remind myself what I'm capable of. I've often had this unexplainable fear of my own potential that I have yet to meet someone who understands my fear of succeeding. I'm afraid that trying my best will inevitably hurt myself or others, like growing something I cannot handle. It's like with the innate power I hold, I could create a miracle or a monster. I've realized the importance of having a strong moral and foundation which I'm aiming to develop because I feel like my lifelong depression has muted this power and healing from it has broken it free. I aim to be strong enough to control this madness and to be a good queen.

We stand for what is right for what's true. I have this "honesty is the best policy" (that even if I try to twitch the word they will just think it's the whole truth, I do this if I know that something's not going right if tell them the truth) and "want it all or nothing at all", just try to think that when that two collide in the worst way possible tgen that's the dark side of INFJ.
