THE SECRET SAUCE TO THE INFJ FUNCTIONS

[@Wenzes]

Do you feel like you should tap more into your extraverted functions as an INFJ?

[@randomfornow]

I'm wondering about this because that sometimes makes me feel like the ENFJ is the improved version of the INFJ. I know INFJ's are deeper but you know...

[@Defaulted123]

As Infj you always tap into your last or extraverted funktions. Although your shadow functions are seen as unconcious. "Infj don't like extraverted thinking". Very much of a clishe. Don't know where this always comes from... Even when you are shy you use all your functions. Maybe the topic in this video should be, what can an unhealthy Infj do to improve his social skills or his ability to focus on outer things or new concepts. By the way: there are a lot of extraverted Infjs. Infjs tend to be the most extraverted of all introverts at all. Not even as introverted like maybe Intps or Infps. And don't forget about this: most Infjs are mistyped and therefore no Infjs. So if you think you are an Infj... It's perhaps most likely you are an Istp or Istj.

[@Sayuri.Falconer]

Yes. This also makes you less dependent on those types that have those functions in their stack leading to toxic attachment. I used to be obsessed with an INFP who had very strong NE and I hung on so long because like most INFJ's I wanted to see things from his perspective. I now realize so many reasons why it didn't work out and how I could be so much happier using those functions myself.

[@randomfornow]

@Raeifier You are so on point. Particularly that middle paragraph...I couldn't have said it better.

[@PM-tk3se]

Absolutely. Something as simple as learning about and caring for my outer appearance like makeup and hair, oddly is so calming and makes me feel way better and different when I’m stressed or whatever

[@aquariusstar7248]

Ive had multiple reality breaks in the past year or 2! My extraverted logic was kicking in but i didnt want to listen. Fear of living a boring life like everyone else and having to face the difficult challenge of fitting my introverted creativity in this structured concrete world was looming. It eventually all came crashing down in terms of relationships, business, finance and career.😵 Getting back up and moving forward using these new functions has been tough! Thank you for the breakdown, Wenzes. So grateful for you and your work.

[@GG-rk1bu]

I can so relate to this. My world has come crashing down in almost every way, it's so unsettling. But I'm trying to tap into TE and FE as advised by Wenzes. Good luck in your journey!

[@andrewherrington9991]

Alot of work, people, and money, but a true infj, is what they needed, so i know, none of them are.

[@travisbartholomay]

I notice that your smile gives energy that you can see in your eyes and it says you really injoy the work you do. Which is a asset to your surroundings. People are more productive, happier, and more focus . I might not have the skills for the job at hiring. Having positive professional compliments are a valuable asset in every industry. Hi. How are you. I have been practicing complimenting strangers online as a way to heal my mindset. And honest compliments and asking for nothing in return from that person. Makes a person heart happier. I'm catching on that positive thinking Is valuable in every thing with life.

[@jhyejw]

Tap my own mind, walk my own path. Nothing else matter even if interacting a must as MBTI is a creature conceive. Realm bestow a distinct divergent!

[@invadercem2]

This is showing me I’m on the right path. Yesterday I wrestled with my anxiety up until an hour before meeting up with friends. Instead of sulking on the couch, I got up, and got out of the house. I had a great time, and got energized off of the fellowship among friends. Thank you Wenzes! You’ve solidified your name amongst those that have changed this world for the better. Keep it up!

[@andrewherrington9991]

Your sort of right student, but a maths teacher can never get that pleasure to say that.

[@Chercheure_Indépendante]

8:45, 9:21, 9:30 the most sacred ingredient to this secret sauce is to express ourselves "authentically" 12:46 what SE is about 14:49 that's exactly why I work on my channel, even though I do not have much feedback, of course unless proven otherwise. I have in mind: "sharing is caring", no matter how people like or dislike what I do. 16:48 be open 17:40 double check

[@AnyaAnnika67]

Indicative of the cognitive ISFP, a wonderful type 😊

[@professora.9603]

Also, I've started a business months after watching these videos. Let's see where this takes me.

[@mongiwekhaya1201]

It took forever to find out who I was. In fact, I was ready to give up towards the end of last year. But I just found out I am an INFJ--I know I am especially because it scared the hell out of me and I almost despaired again. BUT finding this channel has saved me. I've been taking on aspects of what you have been saying for a while, but with the wrong kinds of expectations. Knowing whats possible and where I need to focus my growth has given me confidence to walk in as myself in many situations. Thank you Wenzes.

[@travisbartholomay]

That is the funniest thing to do. Puting action of expression in the world and watching it and see what it says back. I have tactics of a Sagittariuses optimistic of curiosity. With a infj personality so my emotion are like fire.

[@faridaashu]

Thanks for another great video Wenzes. I can't personally relate to this entirely because my journey has been about learning to tap into Ti & Fi ironically. However, it does put into perspective a lot of my experience with the INFJ community on Quora, when I had a one year stint. Most of them said they enjoyed "people watching". I remember responding to the question saying why would I do something that happens by default already? This video explains a lot. Personally, my journey as an INFJ has been about embracing and learning to self-express. During life as an ENFJ, it was about doing things for the common good. Now as an INFJ, it's about self-expression and exploring the depths of who I am. It's about embracing my limitations and expanding my opportunities within them. I think this is what an epic life represents for me. The freedom to be the full expression of myself because I choose to. It's about personal liberation and empowerment. Thanks once again for a great video. 2022 Wenzes energy is🔥.

[@infernal..]

13:52 dude true. I knew this already but it was muted

[@Betscu.]

I will go after those shadows. Thanks for the tips!

[@Jupiter6610]

Interesting to hear you talk about the shadow functions! Can you make a video about Fi critical parent and how we can develop more self-compassion?

[@professora.9603]

I've spent months watching your videos, just to see 👀 if it was consistent. Sometimes, subscribing videos start going left.

[@craigbarrett2278]

Thanks. Started speaking for myself a few years ago.....yes, quite liberating. Probably still needs some work. 😊 But actually also starting to use those shadow functions unconsciously???? Age and experience! But guidance from those who have been there before too. (You)

[@sagemind3374]

Im feeling an monster now hahaha, NI - TI loop its like a prision that we always need to escape, like a mind bandit that is looking for forget his robbery days...

[@dorotaem6621]

I love these cognitive function videos 😊 Thank you!

[@bazinga444]

Wow just had a moment of epiphany watching this. As a male amidst his quarter life crisis, eternally grateful for u Wenzes!

[@challashivacharan]

Great content🙏🏼 I discovered being an INFJ more than five years ago but i feel i shouldn't have neglected how i understanding it can contribute to a healthy growth in spite of knowing how this can be a good tool for self awareness. I mean i got involved more into meditation/contemplation over years that has helped but not for a healthy ego down the line. I hope to learn more as an INFJ male. Thank you for sharing.

[@matthewbrown6163]

Just follow the right path - your way & "use the force too" LOL.

[@jasmin1773]

I feel energized by doing hatha yoga:).

[@andrewherrington9991]

English teacher, its a no aswell, but psycology, yes you are sort of correct.

[@markautrey8936]

I helped another INFJ through a really bad narcissistic break. I have been through this. I gave my tools, only coached based on what I felt I was qualified to teach. She has proved tougher than I was after a covert narc marriage. Proud of her. She read all of my journals of progress. Took me almost 2 years and she is 3 months in and getting through it like a champ. I wish I could now speak to you. Your are Gen in this world and have given me so much knowledge and direction. I will send a prayer upstairs and ask that you truly receive a blessing. God bless you. Kind regards . Mark

[@CCrusaderNL]

As a 23 year old male, your videos have been so much help to me, i thank you so much

[@DandinXY]

I keep seeing mosquitoes and mosquito in Chinese is 蚊子 'wenzi' which sounds like Wenzes so I gotta watch Wenzes now

[@imjojomay]

Thank you so much for what you’re doing.🧡

Essex Uni built a new chemistry block, but they forgot, not the bricks or the digger, or the students to sit in it, they forgot to run the gas, is the chancellor a maths student or a cant fail student, your guess is as mine.

[@marlonhall1864]

I'm in big trouble, judgements are pouring out on me in distructive ways. And I never did anything wrong. Lots of jealousy too, and people telling lies a lot. I don't follow the crowd, I just do me and let the crow follow, I'm admired by lots of interesting people, and the jealous ones tell the lies to make things look bad and I don't know why.

[@INFPJannekeNL]

thank you so much for these insights!

[@mirianermoura]

This is gold! Thank you!! :)

[@ryanquick1824]

though it isnt exactly the same, Ne (extroverted intuition) can BEST be approximated as inductive reasoning - OR - seeing all of the possibilities. also, though it isnt exactly the same Te (extroverted thinking) can BEST be approximated as ACTION - OR - making real in the world around us that which we desire to see in the real world. Te ABSOLUTELY IS EXTRAORDINARILY >>>>>>> ACTION

[@blacksheep6365]

Idk about needing to tap into E functions, but when I take the MBTI test I take it usually 3 times in the same day because I have like a 5% fluctuation between J and P and EVERY TIME I TAKE THE TEST I get the opposite result from whatever result I got previously. Therefore Idk if I'm an INFJ or an INFP but your video on the dopamine detox was spot on regarding my own experiences with daydreaming vs reality.

[@juice_lime5114]

Look into the actual cognitive functions. Recommend looking at the weak functions, weaknesses are much easier to relate to. Many personality tests are less accurate than learning the actual cognitive functions. INFJs and INFPs are completely different, despite appearing similar. Also, everyone has extraverted cognitive functions on their stack. As introverts, not exercising them for extended periods plunges one into an unhealthy state. "Extraverted" doesn't always mean attention seeking, it's simply interacting with the outside world.

[@blacksheep6365]

@@juice_lime5114 thank you for your advice. I'll keep these things in mind as I try to figure this out :)

[@juice_lime5114]

@@blacksheep6365 Your welcome. Took that approach months ago, some deep research to wiggle out of the same situation you encountered. But it's worth it because learning about the cognitive functions actually allow you to identify your strengths and weaknesses, and improve from there on. Just don't devote your full life on it. It's good to find your inner compass, but it would never fully embody your life. You will eventually surpass the system.

[@joshy0369]

Pretty much

[@hasnamuhammad7974]

Hey everyone! I have a doubt being an INFJ or INFP I took two tests this week, and it showed that I am an INFJ But whenever I read facts about INFP, it seems fitting to me too Yes, I do like to daydream, but I feel like I wouldn't say I like it now. I had a strong intuition in my school years, and at the same time, I had depression that time. So, after several months I recovered, and I reset all of my thoughts from the beginning, and I feel like my intuition is not working. Anyone experienced that?

[@vhayashi7369]

I scored as an ENFP/INFP when I was much younger. Now I'm an INFJ. I read somewhere that an INFJ is just like the INFP, but just stronger... I think it's because I don't people please anymore and just protect myself now Instead of helping everyone without limits.

[@angeramirez25]

Well. I'm an INFJ and despite everything had failed in a way or another through the years the only thing that has almost never fail me has been my intuition. It's like my intuition is my guide when everything crumbles lol. Also God, of course 😊

[@johnearnshaw5036]

Great vid, have you read Dario Nardi's The Magic Diamond?

[@jasmin1773]

Question: Would an INFJ, who would only use extroverted functions burn-out by doing this?

[@jasmin1773]

Can Ni-Ti-Loop be translated with "obsesssive thinking"? And not being able to let go of thoughts/and feelings.

[@svendahlsten3132]

Well i dont know im confused now 😔😔😔

[@keithkelso9872]

Do you do online sessions?

[@mr.goodwrench8273]

Do I feel like I should tap more into my extraverted functions as an INFJ? No further than I already do from time to time in settings such as employee meetings, family reunions, etc. I like to maintain the balance.

[@robertholloway6612]

LOL Every time I hear you say: "We make mistakes." all I hear is: "Blah blah blah." LOL

[@Butcherbg]

My random viewpoint on some of the things near the end of the video: Fundamentally "Never Before Existed" on Universal Level is impossible. Many would immediately try to prove me wrong with examples and some of them will look very plausible ~ I don`t care. The point is it is all manifestation of pre existing principles in different forms. Yes in those forms that are "expands" of the principles they may look unrecognizable, but they are all one and the same from the beginning till the end. So the point of that is that Internally generating anything that have previously not exited externally is just not a thing. The External is the always undeniably correct side, so being introverted sucks. Even if it is possibly to override the entirety of the external from your internal that is just ~wrong. It is... unnatural... Even thou >everything< within nature is in fact natural so that`s a lil bit of a paradox (or a contradiction or something) Like you wouldn`t believe me, as you wouldn`t with many other things, but Plastic more or less is about as much of a natural material and resource as is any wood and/or mineral - stone, metal.

[@lindateuling7862]

I hope that I'm not generalizing here, but I have found that when I'm in what I call a "bad mood," I usually assume that it's an Ni/Ti loop. So now I think of Fe, and how to use it. For me, it's a feeling function that hooks me up to my logical side, and more often than not, works best when I reach out and give to others. As for poor old Se - well - I'm still learning about it but I'm sure it's working for me Wirh the the shadow functions - it's also a case of an "outward " focus helping to see things more clearly. It's possible to do that and still be an introvert!

Tests are indicative of the behavioural INFJ (such as Wenzes) not the cognitive INFJ which is comparatively very rare

How do you think trauma could turn an ENFP to an INFJ

[@aladdout9454]

it cant...its just enfp going into their shadow mode infj, and once the source of trauma is removed, enfp would act like an enfp. Trauma brings out your unconscious mind or shadow so its the same for infjs too. Luckily those shadow moments will bring maturity to you.

Thought is the owner of action and your body is creation of the ideas that is Fueling the heart a purpose. To say you have 100% control over thought is a fool lying to themselves With stories of delusion. Creating a new world of vision called subconscious genius or to the conscious mental health issues. And we say go within and say I Jesus how are you. Love you. And at the same time we will look at people and give the label of treatment of mental health issues and say here take these pills so you will never disturb the god in your heart. That is trying to awaken to consciousness So we get real smart and drug the heart of God in us. And it's ok just as long as I say sorry a bunch of times. Like a fool running around with no conscious head saying sorry sorry sorry. I mean what does a chicken sound like When it asks for forgiveness. Don't take you message to serious cause because I don't really know gods words or the reactions from taking pills. I choose the path of creating delusional stories. That I interpreted through feelings Which is based on no real education of facts. But I am genius cause my story says so. And I got multiple of hrs of time a day. To play in any path of life. So now that makes me a genius with wisdom. A king in my realm of life. A dreamer of reality. The attitude of magic saying watch we do anything abracadabra I choose to be rich and happy. Abracadabra. Maybe I be a little out there. But time keeps promising me. Just love me more and you will find the path that leads you to what ever emotion you give me the most. Because I am you as you are me as one. Ok so does that mean if I give you 24 hrs every day. I will fuel my own fire with gasoline. Making it to hot for distractions to come for a visit. Time says that's right abracadabra like magic. I should make a custom wand from wood. And give it to my heart like cupid and go abracadabra. LOL
