Or that you want validation for your negative self worth. I see too much self loathing from INFJ's on youtube (something explained by CS Joseph even in this video) so let the ones that feel positive about their personality feel that way.

@johnsonfromml8662 how what?

[@laurawilson2935]

I have suffered from extreme performance anxiety my whole life. There were 2 key points in this lecture that spoke directly to me. First you must stop the self loathing, lose everything until there is nothing more to lose and rebuild from there. The second is the art of practicing. Practice makes perfect - makes an INFJ get off his duff and start acquiring skills that makes him a superpower. It’s happened to me a time or two until I forget ...All I can say about this lecture is it was the good swift kick in the pants I needed. I and every other INFJ needs to watch this video once a week until it’s etched in their brain.

[@aliciagc2539]

C.S. Joseph is intense! Awesome lecture. So articulate. He gets INFJs. I get the part about losing it all. I think about death a lot, as both my parents have passed. I don’t mean that I think about death in a depressing or negative way, rather, as a very practical matter. I worry a lot less about things than I used to. I used to have a lot of anxiety. I really don't consider “problems” to be anything other than situations for me to deal with. Having a so-called “problem” means that I have the opportunity to experience life. What a gift. I’m grateful for that. When I am gone from this world I won’t have any problems. Somehow this realization makes me feel like I can handle anything. Actually, it’s more than a feeling. It is true knowledge in the depths of my soul. That gives me peace.

If I will die for a stranger, go to China to adopted my little China doll then I surely with fight for myself! All I want is love and peace for all of humanity and all God's nature and animals!🌺🙏❣😘

[@StealBackYourHeart]

Yes, INFJs, learn to love and forgive yourself. It is worth the struggle or even the trauma needed to get there... then we can love the world in a way that makes a difference.

[@katierenae2330]

I feel like I'm always in a battle with myself on trying to choose between creating peace and harmony and telling the truth lol bc most of the time the two don't seem to go together, most people get pissed off at the truth thus disrupting my harmony, but harmony means withholding truth, oh the struggle lol. Thank you for a wonderful lecture.

[@duaa7576]

THIS.

[@KevlarKoat]

Some consideration of their momentary -as well as long-term- emotional needs may be in order. It's a subtle balance, if they need the truth, it's very rare that telling them outright is a good solution. As an INFP, I like to guide them into wisdom through what they perceive as beautiful. An INFJ might want to PUSH them into a beautiful truth they'll appreciate.

[@elisabethw9189]

From my observations, a major Se inferior problem is about actually feeling alienated about having a human body and living in a society focused on the material things. I didnt know any other infjs until I started buddhist practice, now I know at least 6 or 7 whereas 3 of them buddhist monks. Doing things like sports, having kids, a house, a car, a garden and so on simply dont give any fulfillment to many us. I dont have performance anxiety, I simply just find a lot of the modern Westerns pursuits to be meaningless (and a bit primitive). I found my sense of purpose when I stopped pretending to conform to these conventional beliefs of what a human is supposed to do and started to practice for transcendence :)

[@Reveri247]

I feel the same. The idea of settling down, living in the suburbs, having kids and a 9 to 5 job and basically living a conventional lifestyle is such a turn off for me personally (not that there's anything wrong with those things of course). I'm not interested in any of that.

At I point I just gave up and reconciled with that my mind is simply not wired to enjoy the material world so much. My true pleasures in life come from spirituality. But do you have any tips on how to develop the Se more?

[@redefinedliving5974]

@@elisabethw9189 Our Ni is tied with our Se. Maybe yours is expressed by being really observant of the surroundings? We are to choose how our reality will look like, feel like, smell like etc and I think that's the beauty of it. We're very particular on our surroundings. Though most infjs have this wild-child side thats kinda hidden and subtle where they kinda mirror Se-doms love for hiphop, sex, extreme sports, tattoos, metal music, theatrics, exercise etc it's how we ground ourselves for being too much inside our heads, our ideals and our feels. This has to be balanced or else we get stuck on Ni-Ti loop and get very unhealthy. Fe is helpful but it still isn't enough as this has the tendency to overwhelm us afterwards and not a means for release. How do you ground yourself? What makes you feel rooted on earth and in the present? It's all unique to every individual but a grasp on Se is an integral part for any infjs.

[@elisabethw9189]

@@redefinedliving5974 Sure I can enjoy occasional sense pleasures of course, from black metal to forest walks. And absolutely love physical affection with my partner, my dog and so on. My problem with the body prison is the endlessness of needs and routine doings to attend to.

[@mappsanchez]

What you say about performance anxiety is so true! I didn't practice my math skills as much as I should because I was afraid of looking incompetent at math despite studying hard. Consequently, I ended up not qualifying for med school. I also realized later on that people become more loyal to me when I am open about my mistakes, not when I hide them.

[@di3486]

Maria Anya Paola Sanchez Ugh, same happened to me. I wanted to be a physicist and I was so scared of being seeing as dumb but NO MORE! Life is too short for that performance anxiety BS!

[@quintuplebanned4267]

Maria Anya Paola Sanchez again, uncanny accuracy. Sometimes I feel this guy is sweet, because he is so earnestly certain, and I believe a lot of it as well, but whenever he says things I know are inaccurate, I realize that everyone does this, maybe, except for INFJS. I think it’s the awareness. It’s like we have a Greek chorus of awareness within us at all times. And the other types just don’t. And it is t a blessing or anything to have it, of everyone else doesn’t. It’s sort of the source of the frustration. So other types will always be coming to conclusions with out the full picture, because of it. Because they won’t be aware, in those ways.

[@katierenae4848]

It sucks. But you must know how bad what you wrote makes you look, in the sense that no one has much empathy for bitterness. Especially other INFJs. You are seeking pity, and I personally, understand exactly what this is, because I’ve done it too, and then I saw how awful it looked from the outside. It looks weak. And needy. We hate that. So either you are a very young INFJ, or you aren’t an INFJ. If you are a young INFJ, just forgive yourself for putting it out there, and learn never to express this again. And, recognize the value of how things look from the outside looking in, and what we can learn about ourselves if we look at ourselves from a different perspective.

I appreciated this video. I'm starting to understand the difference between 'self righteously' using Ti child vs. wielding it maturely as the fiery sword of truth. It's not easy, especially if we use other people's reactions to our truth to determine how 'well' we did. Sometimes you just have to let it go if people aren't ready to be in your wolfpack (yet?) because they they aren't ready to burn away the comforting lies and live in Truth.

[@waltertaboada9319]

ENFP unconscious is the activist side of their minds, once they're able to trust others and have a precise set of believes they can defend, they're able to use it, ESTP subconscious is their go to side for commanding and getting things done in the cool and relaxed manner they're known for, they can access this part of their mind by practicing and confronting their performance anxiety, lastly, ISTJ superego is the hellish inspector, they will go out of their way to find any evidence that you have betrayed them, or you are showing suspicious behaviour, the subconscious can play role in creating traps and tests in order to know how loyal you really are. This is how normally works, although every side of the mind can be cognitively transitioned in an orderly or chaotically way, changing the way each side of the mind behaves drastically.

This is interesting. Debt to someone with interest, is a personal nightmare. I have zero debt because I live within my means (a novel idea to most Americans). I refuse to be a slave to my finances or the government. This quarantine has been eye opening to how many people are willing to give up their civil liberties just because the government recommended it. The ignorance is absolutely astounding. Admitting fault is quite difficult, but I heard a quote once, "You can be right at the top of your voice, and be incredibly wrong". I have to constantly ask myself, "What is my part in this? Where are my blind-spots? What is my goal in wanting to be right? Am I being a hypocrite?". It helps to have a goal in mind if conflict arises. If the goal is to love the other person and understand them, then defending myself and trying to prove my point is not going to accomplish the goal. Also, when do you sleep? haha.

I HAD to forgive who I was hating to move on.

[@nikkia.8295]

I feel the urgency to actualize and move past the barriers that hold me back. The hypocrisy note was very interesting to me because I've been examining these areas as of late. I do feel there are times where I get comfortable and activate "pot calling the kettles black mode". However, these moments have become further apart and only really become debilitating when I lose confidence or am depressed about my own feeling/thought/behavior patterns. Tough love has always been present in my life - being able to discern where criticism is coming from (a loving place because they want you to succeed, or an insecure place that's being projected back to me) has come with time, though it certainly hasn't always been easy. Letting go of the victim mentality and taking personal responsibility is the only way forward ... Your videos serve as breadcrumbs to show me I am on the right path forward ... a little rough around the edges with the delivery ... but those are my favorite type - raw, uncensored, authentic, and unyielding. You are definitely a force to be reckoned with, Mr. Joseph, thanks for sharing.

[@jdmfs1772]

U have the most informative videos out of everybody I've found. It appears that I'm an INFJ based on all the personality tests I've taken the last 2yrs and all the videos I've watched. Even the B.S. ones that make it sound like INFJs are some sort of super rare, superheroes. For the people who just want to feel special and hear how unique and powerful they are. I don't need videos to tell me how rare I am. I've been me for 41yrs and I don't think anybody that knows me could compare me to anybody else they know. It's cool and I take pride in always being myself and staying true to my values but it's kind of a giant a pain in the ass too lol. It's starting to look like I did a pretty damn good job of developing myself as an INFJ. I understand your whole + and - episode strategy to paint a more complete picture. I've sat n listened to you yell at me and berate me for like 3hrs cuz I genuinely want to learn how the psychology behind everything works. I think you seem to be the most knowledgeable and give the most scholarly explanation of things. It's a bit unpleasant getting yelled at for loaný ho Ljj7uur about what a POS I am, when the majority of the stuff has never applied to me and most of what does/did, was 15-25yrs ago. U should do one, or even a whole series about the more well developed individuals of each type. I'm far from perfect and have regressed in some areas after a devastating break up a few years ago. Which I followed with my most powerful and longest self destruction. I ended up finally understanding that happiness is a choice and so your mood and what kind of day u wanna have. I haven't had a bad day in a year and a half. If I could get back what I lost in the devastation, I would be a force to be reckoned with. I have a 21yr old son I raised from 5 months old til the present. I was barely 20 when i got sole custodyof him. I used to be a Certified Personal Trainer and have helped a bunch of people get the results they wanted over the years. Still have the knowledge, not the Certificate. I've been asked to be a best man at friends weddings 4x, I've been a groomsmen 2x and backed out of contention to be one 2-3 times. I have at least 3 Godsons and have also passed on consideration for that honor a time or 2 as well. I'd very very interested to know more about upper end of development for INFJs. U could probably yell at me for some relevant stuff if u did lol. All the stuff you're chastising people for, I started working on changing when I was 7 lol. Nobody showed me what to be like or how to be it, so I ended up deciding what I didn't want to be when I grew up. I didn't want to be anything like people. So I started trying to become all things people pretend to be but arent.

My favorite lecture of all time. Beats all the lectures I've had in the past 20-something years of my life in formal education. You have so much personality, it's hard not to like you even when you're being a hard ass.

[@hajarm696]

30:08 '' he preaches a message of love and not of hatred, how is that possible for an INFJ? " it's formulated so weirdly as if they have to try their best not to be evil

[@luminyam6145]

Our whole family is the pack of my youngest son (INFJ). He is the one we all go to for the final say in any of our endeavors. He is also the DM of his very successful D&D group. He is altogether a most admirable man.

[@Yogi_in_the_Gobi]

Hi C.S Joseph, I've recently found your channel and I'm blown away by everything you're saying as I've gone my whole life without knowing anything about this MBTI and it's all making sense to me now (wish I knew about it in my younger years). I definitely need to book an appointment with you as so much of what you've discussed, particularly in this vid rings true - a lot of experiences and dealings in my life, it's like you're talking directly to me. Around the 48- 50 mins mark, this was where I was at in 2015, nothing to lose, put myself on the internet, got a whole lot of people mimicking me (including well known celebrities, got loads of proof of it, not BS'ing). I'm so impressed by your knowledge and I know that I'm needing to learn more about INFJ and grow as a person. Would love to work with you soon in coaching if you consider me a good fit, thank you C.S.

[@CSJoseph]

Hopefully it stays that way, because eventually I will hit everyone’s precious ego investments

You make the best informative typology personality videos,, all of this is so so amazing, interesting, and extremelyyyyy helpful to me. I’m understanding so many things that I didn’t quite get before and this really does wanna push me to be even better and reach such heights of potential. It is true that I put myself down a lot, but I can also rebuild myself up and if I really want something I’ll work really hard even if it takes a lot outta me lol.

[@nobodyknows3260]

The advice to practice, practice, practice and just get over your fears can be damaging for INFJs. This can lead to burnout and feeling even worse about their perfectionist tendencies. You have to figure out your reasons, why you want to do something, why you are afraid to do something. You have to figure out your limits take breaks, take time for yourself. Since you are so sensitive to the external world and to other people, you need to take time and get rid of all this noise. Don't just blindly put in 12 hour work days and think that's ok, even ESTPs can't do that for a long time. Just "practice, practice, practice" may work for a while, but not long term. Being persistent and not giving up even if you know you didn't do as much as you wanted, starting over again even if you think your progress is very slow, forgiving yourself for not working "hard enough", now that would be a good long term strategy.

[@CSJoseph]

Obviously to practice, you have to know what it is you want to master.

[@runaarnarson2590]

I love how passionate you are in these videos. Thank you, I could relate to that a lot.

[@raulsanz7120]

With this video you have surpassed yourself, believe me. This time I have a lot to say: sorry if it's too long. I was an INFJ (probably 5w4 or 4w5) when I was a child. I was as you comment until I was 16 years old. Then came a great crisis (or depression) that lasted 2 years and caused hypercholesterolemia (I had no action at all before that age). It was in that crisis that I moved to a more ISTJ state (I got excellent grades, played sports, was "hyperresponsible" with myself and with all my surroundings). I went to university: I wanted to choose between physiotherapy, medicine, psychology or biology. I chose physiotherapy, because it seemed to me that it was the only one who had a little of everything (my grades had been so high that I could choose any university degree, so I chose what I wanted to choose). That "adaptation" phase lasted until I was 21-24. Between that age and 35 everything was "success" and "well-being" in everything I did. At the age of 35 I had another crisis, I think this time of "anxiety", because it was a different sensation than the one I had at 16 years old, but different, since it generated insomnia, something I had not felt before. See if my evolution was so strange (and following more or less the same steps that you suggest in this video) that I am now an ENTJ, 8w7 enneagram, that uses "introverted thinking" as the main function. I hardly use "extroverted feeling". The evolution you comment sounds great, but trust me, it doesn't sound the same when an INFJ (5w4 or 4w5) tells you what they think than if it an ENTJ 8w7 does, even though their feelings and intentions remain exactly the same. ;-) If one person wants to keep being a real INFJ must listen to their guts about "other's feelings" (extroverted feeling)... If you loose that part, you become something different, not an INFJ anymore... the question is that this "something different" you become can be even more helpful than you as an INFJ with "inaction". This is why a lot of INFJs are mistyped as "other types"... they stop being real "INFJs" because "being an INFJ is weird even for your family. ;-)

Not gonna lie, it took me 5 years to get my driver's license now i'm almost in my mid-20s and i don't have a job yet. I favor my Ni-Ti way too much that Fe-Se hit me like a pile of bricks and it's tough to exercise them but I'm not giving up on my growth because i so want to reach my goals in this ONE life. Such is why i love and appreciate your content C.S Joseph, it brings me back to base and reality. I gotta remind myself these things.

[@robertareeve3108]

Just come away from an interaction with an INFJ that has left me thinking.. I felt the need to comfort something in them, but I wonder was I simply hugging my inner child, that the INFJ was reflecting back to me? I absolutely love your style in delivering excellent quality AND quantity. Thank you for your work, I really respect your effort in mastering your craft. Bravo!

Man, I used to worry that I wasn't fulfilling my purpose because people were getting mad at me, and then feeling like a hypocrite. But you remind me that that's my purpose--the burning truth, even when it pains me. As a future therapist, I'm going to remember that. Flaming sword, burn away the lies. Improve others--it used to be popular for me to do that on my religious mission, but unpopular now that I'm home. But it doesn't have to be popular. It just has to be what the world needs

[@CHK12319]

[@moonkookie1505]

This reminds me of the time my best friend decided to stop talking to me all of a sudden, not telling me why, and mind this, we were like 13 years old at the time. I took it so personally, i hated her for 9 years straight. Only 9 years later, and after working on myself for 3 years, have i relaized how much wrong i had done. For example, when she stopped talking to me i cried a lot. But i never told her and just accepted her ignoring and had never confronted her about it so I never let go. And when I was able to see how she wasn't the only one who was wrong and that i made mistakes too, only then was i able to get rid of that hatred completely...

[@FlawlesZMa]

Thank you sir for your tough love. I am a healthy INFJ because of Jesus. All glory to Him. I did exactly what you told us to do, humble ourselves. I came to that place where nothing mattered anymore of this world and I knew I had to choose Jesus, surrender and follow Him as His disciple and leave the life I had behind. I am happy to hear you talk so much of the word of God and Jesus and pray for you sir that you also will humble yourself even if you are not an INFJ we all need to, and give our life to Jesus. I hope you will talk of him as more than just a person in history as he is the son of God, The king of Kings and he is living, seated on the right hand of the Father and will soon come back to judge the world. Jesus did all you said but why He came was not to have disciples or do miracles, etc he came to die for mankind and our sins. Jesus do want all of us to follow Him, be as him..not in our own might or strength it is impossible. We all fall short. I have no "God complex" but I daily have to surrender to The Holy Spirit who lives within me and obey the Lord. We first must be born again.

[@louise-aurore3510]

Thank you for your comment. Without Him we can do nothing but real change of heart and character comes when we finally surrender to Christ and receive His Holy Spirit. God gives mankind free will and won't force Himself on people. We have to step in faith and make the choice to choose Him and Him alone. Many blessings to you in Christ Jesus!!!

[@arijitamukherjee8924]

This is a cathartic and enlightening video for me, thank you. Watching this from time to time itself is like a practice to take criticism without tearing up. However, not everyone I have door-slammed deserve a second chance from me (yet)...and while I no longer harbour hatred for them, it was the right thing to do at the moment, because, self-love comes first. We cannot serve from an intoxicated vessel.

[@justsaynah5205]

After I had worked on myself, I was finally able to speak out some necessary truths. Thankfully some of the ppl closest to me is an ESTP and an ENTJ and they were a great support when I did so, helping me not waver and stay consistently behind my words and decisions, sometimes calling me out on some faulty emotional thinking doing so. At times, getting the truth out there may be one of the most difficult thing you'll ever have to do, but it's tried and true - the right ppl will stay by your side no matter what. Also worth mentioning: my physical health noticeably improved as I did so. I've only watched this vid today, but Chase is pointing out the exact things an INFJ should work on and I can back up his words on what the results will be. Work on yourself with regular honest self-reflection, surround yourself with friends who help you become the better version of yourself (and not just suck you dry), trust them and get the needed truths out there. An INFJ can get to the point of loving yourself, even to the point of sleeping soundly despite having had to say some very difficult things. Really, things are rarely as bad as we may (doom)think they are XD

I would like to start off by saying I have been a fan of you and work for a couple of years now and I think that you're absolutely brillant...Also I notice and appreci ate how you personally set up your videos to effectively appeal to each type your teaching about..very clever..As a 34 year old INFJ I can relate to it all..my wolf pack lol these people have earned %100 of my trust, My strong belief and perserverence to never give up, ( get the hell up, If you still have your life, you have not lost everything! ) I have walked through and overcame some shit storms that resulted in losing myself, dignity, .. and have had to rebuild several times to say the least..and I use those expierences to guide and push the people dear to me through there own lives..and I feel obligated to do so. Although my SE is my biggest point of contension...I somehow dedicated my spare time to obtain a CPT in strength training to be a personal trainer..to help and push people to become the best version of themselves..and I worked my way up into a position of mechancial repair in my main profession, however relationships have been my default and weakness... I have been learning to be more in a feminine energy and I have noticed I have been heavily flexing my FI expressing my true self and it has yeilded great results!

[@lindawillis7567]

Here's the problem with your argument that INFJs are responsible for making other people strong. That's false. No one can make someone else something that they aren't and don't want to be. We are responsible for helping those who are wanting a change and are asking us for help. The only person who can actually make a change within themselves is themselves, and it takes the willingness for that person to do the hard work of introspecting without blinders on. We simply show that person the good and the bad that is within them that they are not seeing and help them see ways to make that change. This is how others become better, stronger. We are just a catalyst, a mirror, a suggestion or whisper, an arrow pointing in the right direction, A truely healthy INFJ is not arrogant, we know where our flaws lie, but then again, we are built this way.

INFJ are best at reading behaviour, reading the truth of behaviour and exposing the illusions that they have in mind about those behaviours. That's better than reading minds ;)

[@mimomeep6091]

This was a really good lecture... I’ve written notes and appreciated the criticism. The way the INFJ mind flows sounds similar to the Enneagram tritype of 4 (dramatic, pity, idealistic), 6 (skeptical and loyal), & 8 (anger issues and commanding). I mentioned this because I’ve just recently looked into tritypes and thought how weirdly similar the descriptions were to the ones in this video.
