1 we attract narcissists. Do not make yourself small and narcs won’t be interested. Cut narcs out and don’t take on people who are projects and need help. 2. We are playing a role. The moment the INFJ starts showing all their layers, people can’t handle who we truly are. Be authentic and you’ll find people who appreciate who u truly are. 3. We often show up with intensity. But it overwhelms them. So they back off. 4. We hide our mental strengths. We dim ourselves and put light on the other person. The moment we stand out, the other person backs off because they are too insecure to be friends with us. Show up with all that you are and all your intensity - those who can’t handle it will stay away. 5. Because we uncover their deep insecurities. We know what to say and do because we can read them.

@@TrevliaLiatrev-ts5zf - No, not at all what it means. I understand why ppl get this confused b/c most ppl DO NOT understand a thing about duality and how it really works b/c most ppl are binary thinkers and are always stuck in the either-or position that creates the false dichotomy. We INFJ's - us mature ones anyway - who truly do evolve out of our 'type' and into grown up versions of ourselves - are very diverse, eclectic ppl and our versatility is very misunderstood b/c most ppl think we should limit ourselves. This limitation creates a world of imbalanced and dysregulated chaos. We INFJ's are very into balance and trying to find the right temperature, the right balance in all things - whether it's a comfort level in a relationship or a picture that needs adjusting on a wall. We are all about figuring out how to logically make sense of duality and that APPEARS to fools and unevolved ppl as 'borderlines' or bipolar. We MUST STOP always reverting to THAT same old default setting b/c there are many other categories of duality dynamics and nuance in them. But just b/c half the population IS mentally ill like that and just b/c someone can't figure out a duality dilemma, they automatically scream 'you're bipolar'! WRONG! The world is not that simple! It's not wise nor logical to be stuck in the mainstream world of observation. I observe w/ my spirit, conscience, heart, full brain of both sides - the L and the R - and I think b4 I act and feel. I was also trained w/ the right tools to live this way by therapists for over 15 yrs to become this focused on balancing things as well as myself so that helps but yeah, BALANCE is the MATURE INFJ's #1 go-to tool & major topic in ALL areas of our lives.

What you have said is absolutely true. I am older, hopefully wiser, now. Ghosting someone is petty, childish and cruel - and they know it! I hate being a cynic, but in my personal and professional life I have found too many people are just selfish, unkind, jealous and insecure. You dont have to do anything to incur their wrath. For me the solution is not being too nice from the get go. I am never rude, but at the first red flag I pay attention. I dont get mad, I just wont play their games. Sometimes it is the door slam. I want to live a peaceful productive life. Too many people thrive on creating chaos for no good reason. We are better off alone than badly accompanied. The only person you can change is yourself. I, like others, are in a constant inner dialogue of self analysis. We put up with way too much bad behavior out of others, excusing them, self censoring everything we say to be polite, "walking in others shoes" etc. Enough! They will make you physically ill, financially, emotionally drained, bewildered, etc. INFJs deserve much better. Thanks for your many insightful videos.❤️

I count myself as an older and hopefully wiser INFJ too Cheryl. I have cleaned house with many of the people I once associated. I am trying to follow some of Wenzes' advice about making myself the star of my own movie. I have spent the bulk of my existence feeling bad for existing as I do instead of showing up completely as myself. I can't count how many times I didn't reveal my true self for the sake of feeling like I will fit in better with a person or group if I just stay quiet or even fake my interest in something. Sports comes to mind. I really am not a sports person as far as being interested in millionaire players and what they do. But I learned (like so many do )that sports talk is the coin of the realm in many offices and bars. So I learned to go along to get along. But at the price of not being my authentic self. Not anymore. I wish only to be myself...like you. I would rather someone dislike me for being who I really am than like me for the person I am pretending to be.

[@INFJparadox]

Absolute truth! I wish I had known I was an INFJ when I was younger. Now at 53, I would rather be alone and in peace and work-wise, I will always defend myself, which they absolutely hate.

Had no idea this was an INFJ thing. Yes, I attract narcissists. 3 partners (stayed with the first one for over 20 years). It makes you wonder “Am I the narcissist?” When I asked my trauma therapist that question, he laughed at me and then broke it down for me to help me understand I wasn’t. I think you might even continue to feed their ego but your supply becomes tarnished the more human you become to them and you become scary the more you know about them. Next thing you know they’re looking for a new shiny bauble who doesn’t really know them. I wasn’t taking on projects. My first 20+ year ex thought I was THE project… well, he broke me down during the first two years into a project-I wasn’t one when we met and it took me a long time to recover my sense of self. I saw that tendency with friends-my taking on people as projects-when I was a teen and backed away from that because it really saps one’s energy and people are not projects. (My health issues have always limited my energy and so, I’ve always been aware of energy expenditure.) I’d gotten it in my head early in life that everyone needs cheerleaders… so I cheerled everyone (not just the people I was possibly interested in). It took having three of these relationships to realise I need to stop cheerleading so much in general so as not to draw narcissists to me. I have also never hid my intensity with anyone. I’m autistic and unlike a lot of autistic women, I’m not good at masking and so being able to hide my intensity was not a skill I possessed. Being authentically myself was always at the top of my personal agenda. I need to look less like a shiny bauble-I know your advice is to shine, but that hasn’t worked for me. (This makes me sad because the message I am giving myself is that I actually need to be less me, though backing off the cheerleading isn’t as hard as I thought it would be.) Also, my first ex pointed out repeatedly how naive I was (am). I thought this was the result of trauma and it was only when I pushed my trauma therapist on this point that he told me he suspected I was autistic and put me through testing. It was my therapist’s opinion that narcissists, pathologically co-dependent people (true of covert narcissists), and psychopaths are drawn to autistic people because we take much longer to pick up on the game underway. Perhaps INFJs have a bit of a Pollyanna view of other people as well-seeing the best in others and never thinking that the shadow sides they see will come for them. I think my boldness, my intensity made the narcissists I attracted as love interests think I was some sort of narcissistic match (I attract covert narcissists who appear to the whole world to be super nice people). I think they think, even if only subconsciously, that, given my intensity, I was that someone special who would have the passion to fight with them. That’s not me. I’m not interested in working through people’s childhood trauma dramas in that way (e.g., playing a role, following a script, being the dragon they need to slay, etc.)-it’s dispiriting, exhausting, and mind-numbingly boring and I get slain in the end (fortunately figuratively to date). That was long sorry.

[@cc1k435]

It all sounds pretty familiar here, too...🤔 Narcissists suck. I hate having to be intent on reeling it back in when just going about my life, but the result if I don't is that I am a big magnet for crazy people. I am not diagnosably on the spectrum, but I tend to be empathic. I have also worked with lots of autistic kids, and they very often seem to absorb the moods around them, too. If the whole school is having an off day, you'll know it first in the self contained autism classrooms. 😂😢

The problem that some people encounter is that we do not support anything that is not authentic. We may appear friendly and relaxed - our normal state of being - and this can be interpreted as willingness to become a follower, student or hanger on. As you point out, eventually they will realize that they have entered a "No BS" zone, and this may produce anger or hostility. Once the inevitable has started to play out it is best to quietly let it go. Not ghost them but just let them be and try not to make it any harder for them.

I’m autistic in addition to being an INFJ and I can miss the game in play at first. The other person, conducting their own childhood trauma drama, thinks I’m playing along only to find out as time goes on I’m not. It’s just that their trauma drama all start off the same-someone to play the hero that they can later flip the script and turn into the villain. Being who we are means we fulfil both roles well and those who are not as naive as me, catch on quicker and maybe don’t get involved romantically with them.

[@deborahcurtis1385]

SO true! The mistake agreeableness for complicity. They talk and try to dominate and you let them a bit because you have not the same need for dominance. When you try to even up the friendship they freak out!

INTP male here. ENFJ and INFJ ladies can be a bit intense, but I personally adore it. The focus on authenticity and meaninful communication is the bee's knees. Sadly, finding you gals is a bit tricky. You're rare, you hide well, avoid well, and getting the opportunity to get to know you is a bit of a trial. Not that an INTP male is any better...I mean first you have to get us out of the house and away from our electro-doodads and then the battle of wits begins. But the emotional intimacy that forms is mind-blowing. I'm dating an INFJ now. She's turned me into a cuddler. I scarcely even liked being touched before and now I'm her personal teddy bear. It's freakin' awesome. I've never been so emotionally expressive in my life. She, on the otherhand, has learned to be more thoughtful and strategic in her planning and she's starting to go places because of it. The only downside: The two of us in a large, crowded and loud public space: once her fatigue exceeds her excitement for the event, she's ready to curl into a ball and cry, and I'm calculating the most efficient trajectory to get us out while running into the fewest people the moment we stepped foot into this place (and now we're at the furthest possible distance from the doors). But on that particular event, we got home, she made some cocoa and I made a blanket fort and we watched a movie together inside it.

INFJs are incredibly kind and it is so easy to take advantage of them. Their boundaries must be respected. I work with at least 5 INFJs (that I know of, others I suspect but they did not want to do the MBTI test, we are nurses). They are ALL very insightful. Some of them were a bit suspicious of me in the beginning but I have proven myself to be real (I'm an INFP, I can't be anything else). One of the issues with INFJs is their gentle nature and I can tell they see everything. They see all of me, and that really frightens some ppl. INFJs are so insightful, they see right through everyone. Some ppl just run from this, they don't want the INFJ to see them as they really are, personally, I embrace that. Also I loathe bullies and INFJs get bullied. Well they don't when I am around, I look after them. I would say that our unit is pretty INFJ friendly. I suspect the MD on our unit might be an INFJ as well although our relationship is more formal. I only heard through the grapevine that she was being bullied by some or one of the nurses on our unit, I went to her and told her that I would step in and put a stop to it if she wanted. She smiled and told me it was all right. Of course I let others know I went to her about this issue and apparently that was enough (the bullies don't like to tangle with me), they are leaving her alone for the most part now. I am really old and will be retiring soon and I will miss my INFJ colleagues a lot. Oh yes, I should add that one of my sons is an INFJ, he is incredible.

[@DrBozaChaos]

Yup, it makes you feel lonely. Due to various reasons, I grew up without any friends. At the uni I felt more free and I had my peak when I shined. On a surface it seemed to others that I am super social and ”popular”, but in reality I had not even a single real friend. All of them would call me only to then talk about themselves, as I am a good listener. If I had one, even a small problem, I would be told I am dramatic or just that ”it will get better”.. and then they would continue about themselves. Even about their cousins I ve never met. But then its fine. So I went back to shutting down myself and now I am super cautious. I get myself out there with a hope that someone will notice me and appreciate at least some of deeds I do for others. But, I cant say there is a single person. Even friends I consider the closest dont seem to care how I am feeling or checking on me when I feel low. They think it will pass, since I never forced them to listen to me..yet alone to understand me. They make fun of my interests and remarks, but then use my comments or my jokes in front of others to get ”laughs” and reactions. Or make fun of me, whil getting upset if I would do te same. And its interesting how others like it when it comes from them, but they look at me weird if I say it. It is hard to keep up, but I am just getting too used to do things on my own. Even on dating apps like tinder. So many likes and matches and then they give up the moment you try to talk or share interests. So naturally you see yourself as a problem.. and it leds to to overthink or just giv on things. But it is still better to have nothing, than just tolerating anything. :)

I thought my daycare lady was the one person I might be able to confide in and when I told her what was happening she asked if I had ever been diagnosed with psychotic psychosis. Wow. I give up.

In my experience with infj's they make you into an image thats more in the infj's mind than the reality of who you are, which is disturbing, uncomfortable, and painful. People dont want to be a figment of the infj's imagination, we want to be seen and heard for who we are, too.

[@johnkeller5163]

Honestly, I prefer ghosting to the vampires; you know the lovely people (especially family leeches which I never chose in life) who ignore your existence until wanting something to take from this infj. Out of high respect for Wenzes, let's just say that I never play games and my reaction is candid gestalt words and actions which demand no trespassing on my boundaries. The vampires eventually learn that my tolerance for toxic drama is quite limited to a few seconds. Life then remains with decent people who appreciate authenticity and pure goodwill in the long run.

And damn. I can’t believe you said the make yourself small so other people will feel more comfortable & let us be part of the group. That just floored me. As I have been doing this since childhood. And my voice & mannerisms change depending who is standing in front of me. Over active mirroring neurons I was told. Very hard for me to hold an accent. Don’t even know what my voice would sound like- actually I do. I think my poetry voice is the true self. My therapist cried. But have been beaten up bullied a lot for being the weird kid, you’re too sensitive, cried a lot in school. I’ve had therapists & friends literally say you’re so powerful but you hide your power & pretend to be weak- why? And for me it is so I can be near people. Otherwise they like in childhood are afraid or freaked out by me. I used to not watch this channel- sound sensitive. Pitch & tone are very tough for me at certain frequencies. I am very thankful I watched this one & all the way to the end. Thank you🙏

I will be a friend to her for as long as she will put up with my occasional goofiness. I talk to her every day. Sometimes it's not much and other times it's quite in depth.

[@ravenbelote1801]

Many truths about the INFJ in this. I like too that you spoke about it not being our place to delve into others real deeply psychologically. Its not our place to try to heal all their wounds, essentially. Not only is that not good for our own mental health, as you discovered, but on a spiritual level we all must work through our own inner issues ourselves, and at our own pace. If we entangle ourselves deeply in someone else’s issues, then we take the chance of also taking on their karma. One will suffer the consequences of that. But more importantly, the other person probably won’t learn the lessons they came here to learn if we interject so deeply. Or we may delay their learning, or speed it up when they aren’t ready for it, or any number of things. This doesn’t mean we shouldn’t help others. It just means we must step back at some point and allow them to do the work themselves. Another good way, as you are doing, is to teach others about how they can improve their lives. In this way you aren’t doing the work for them. You’re just showing them some things that may help them along if they try them.

I have to say that this subject and your articulation about it has hit so strongly with me. I have followed you for about 3-4 years now and your development and ability to articulate the IN FJ dynamics has evolved and developed so incredibly that you almost have n me convinced to contact you and try out your boot camp. As an INFJ, especially a 61year old male INFJ it is rare to find anyone on the planet who is capable of helping me develop any faster as a human than I can by myself, you may be capable… thank you so much for this perspective you have given me.

Hi Wenzes! I wonder if you have or would ever consoder a video that conpares a day in life for an infj who has studied, put in the work, and made big changes - vs a day for an infj who hasn't had the benefit of self knowledge, and years of personal work.

Ppl don’t lk that, and they disappear.

I have seen a pattern of friends that I make… never making the effort to keep me in their lives. That even goes for one I am sure is a soulmate friend.

After watching this video, I now think that the reason above is only one of a few. ❤

[@rainyy9508]

Because infjs are more aware than most of the people, and when they first try to live authentically, they, in most cases they even loose their own family. So this lose sometime makes them covert people pleaser and thus attract narcissists. And the sad part is sometime they are shamed for bringing out the insecurities of people.

[@lindateuling7862]

Very significant points, Wenzes. And for me, #5 stood out big time - namely, uncovering people's insecurities. My experience has been getting criticized, put down, or dropped for a number of things that the critic in question is also doing him or herself. Often they were very blunt with me if I felt insecure, or had done something that threatened them, and usually were outspoken and rude about it. In other words, they could "dish it out but not take it." And to complicate things, I would get this kind of behavior when trying to help them! This happened some years back when a relationship with a valued relative (whom I often wanted to encourage) - and it ended when we had a very bad argument about something that revealed to him that I knew what he was insecure about. It destroyed the relationship. We have somewhat mended fences now, but often that sort of thing never gets resolved. I'm older now, and have worked in the teaching profession long enough to know that we can help any person only so much. And it's not worth losing our self-respect over. It doesn't stop it from being painful, but I do believe we can get over it because I've had several times when I had to.

Same. My pattern is we start out eye to eye, me being upfront and bringing who I am. Genuinely appreciate them, definitely don’t look down on but also I don’t fawn over them. I do say supportive and encouraging things. They lose interest over the years and their ability to listen wanes and the whole thing becomes all about them over time. I prefer to be asked about my life, but if they lack that social grace, I can open up…but if they go monosyllabic 🤷‍♀️Then, in end stage, they pop in from time to time to vent about something. Finally, the issue is that they just lack the character to hold themselves to the standards that would make a relationship work. And it’s not like I am special at bringing this out! Most people are lonely for a reason.

[@MrGadfly772]

My closest friend since childhood always had me to listen to his woes. I too have had struggles in life, but I am a very private person and never shared. Throughout he kept telling me that I shouldn't try to handle things on my own. He kept insisting I didn't have to be Batman and be this brooding guy who never shared his problems. So now after over 50 years of friendship I finally took his advice and started to trust him more. Last December after all this time he just suddenly said he didn't want to be my friend anymore and he insisted he didn't need to tell me why. I still don't know why. Your explanation is probably the closest to an explanation that I am ever going to get. Thank you for that, it will lead me to the closure that I wasn't otherwise allowed.

[@michelletaylor6856]

Do you have any videos on how to survive the workplace as an infj? People always say how others will stop bullying or mistreating you if you don't react and that has not been true at all; in fact it's getting worse even though I continue to be nice and quietly back out of the negative energy while finding other useful things to do to stay busy. If I address anything out loud no matter how politely done I get treated like a crazy person and a weirdo

[@northernpianotuner3319]

Bullies see most things as weakness, in my experience. & they're great at justifying their behavior (even if only to/in themselves). I think they only respect strength, displayed the way they display it (their version of strength/leadership). You have options, including being nasty right back to them; but if you're not equals it may not help. (!sorry!!!! I really sympathise; I had to leave a career because bullying was so prevalent in that industry.) Knowing what I know now, & after healing for several years, I might explicitly call them out on it to their faces and ask for specific changes--- at least, I hope I would; but I don't know. As to "bullies stop if you don't react", that may be so for some types but not all!! In my experience just the action of bullying, itself, fed their inner core till some outside force stopped them; my reaction did not matter.

Wildly accurate analytics

[@anthony-e6g]

Holding onto the improbable return, love, acceptance, or even acknowledgment of my existence, is torture.I knew that the outcome where I would be entirely rejected (regardless of what I did, didn’t, etc). I knew the moment that she ”ghosted”, that I’d never see her again. Side note on being ghosted: if the things we discuss as a community are true. Mainly how we are triggering and the adverse reactions that others have courtesy of their ego. That plays into the narratives often associated with being discarded by a personality disordered person. Posit that someone in that group is triggered and is beginning their devalue, discard, routine. There’s a thought to be had for those of us who do behave in manners talked about on this channel. If there was a chance that person was going to change course, we’ve made sure to turn the volume up to 11, adding a level of fear. Ie. Take a hoover for example. Often they come back without apology/changed behavior or they completely avoid accountability by assuming the angle of “nothing happened”. If you, like me, made sure to lay out everything…EVERYTHING, to that person during the discard. They aren’t too stupid to miss that every path back, with people like us, is through the truth. And, I, at least, laid out the truth about the person I am, and that I subconsciously am more of a being than she was, in human form. So there’s no putting the jack back in the box. I know it sounds cruel to judge her intelligence so harshly. I didn’t bring anything up until she literally told me that she felt superior to me. Yep, that type of person. By the way, I’m not saying my subconscious existence is living a fruitful life. Simply more than what her conscious self is. 😂😂. It’s actually disheartening that there’s yet another piece of hard evidence that we’ll find a way to convince ourselves that there’s still hope. I think, all the rhetoric about how we function in similar ways, and that we’re not wrong in the way we call things out, as we do. Is missing something that I’ve never heard anywhere. All this triggering…A life as an ego assassin…The truth superhero! Who has changed? None of the ghosts. Or if they did (spoiler alert…they didn’t) are we supposed to believe they changed for the world (sons me?) We, or I, tend to bring the insecurities up because I see them so easily, and assume everyone else is kind of similar, in mind. Why are we the righteous ones? Seems like everyone else doesn’t want us to do some of the things we do. Maybe we aren’t right. Or maybe we are, but maybe we have the choice to either ride that unicycle for all or eternity, in our truth. Doomed to an existence of seeing everyone we love, prove to us that greatest fear. That we’re not lovable. Or we can adjust to a point that we simply (hahahaha) suppress those thoughts, like we had until they triggered us by invalidating us. I think we’re addicted to that part of the relationship. Trying to be so positive all the time and maybe we just need to be able to vent. It would be different if all things tried in a positive manner were received without resistance. We’re walking a thin line. Cause a narc gets triggered and then rips what’s left of your life away. When we get triggered we seem to have that exact same conviction about completing what our subconscious needs. Maybe we should further adopt a “it is what it is” mentality, when it comes to allowing our monster to come out. We’re never going to be able to explain to someone who sees us as inferior, that it’s intentional. Because, first, we don’t see others as inferior. And second, what good has it ever done by trying to explain to the biggest ego in the room that they’re actually not even close to top dog? Tell me some success stories! My literal pantomime of existence is almost on par with you. Now, if you somehow made it through that mess. I know it’s sloppy even by my abstract standards. That would be apropos when speaking of a narcissistic relationship…but…if we remove that toxicity, the normies aren’t coming back either. So it is like “I am legend” (book ending) where Robert Neville (?) realizes that he in fact is now the monster. Maybe we should take all this self awareness and figure out a way to avoid this disaster spin cycle, on repeat. I know you say to let out our truth from the jump. But, in my case, I’m very open. The only way my abilities are underestimated is because I manipulate existence. And if I let that partner (pre partner) know that I’m essentially DID, but I’ve such control over the other parts of me that they are hardly intrusive. Cause I don’t think that’s going to get me a second date. 😂😂 The rub that just hit me. You’d think that when we’re pushed to unleash our version of hell, that going from being admired to someone they were dating as a charity case. You know, because we’re the small ones. That the switch from that, to being admired by someone of substance, would be enticing. That’s how much we’re reaching. We’re hoping that this person that would rather feel superior than to be even around any opportunity for growth, will all of a sudden augment the definition of themselves to join our party. It doesn’t feel like a party 😢. The thing is, we can share as much about ourselves as we want, but if what we say isn’t being listened to and our behaviors aren’t being noticed, then what we share is irrelevant. It’s the audience.

[@theinfjgoyim5508]

ESFPs actually are pretty good friends to INFJs. They are surprisingly pretty accepting of both our good and bad, and they don't really judge from what I found. ESFJs are great but they have 400% the energy and if you take a day off from them, their feelings get so hurt and they get hateful. It is hard to find someone, lol anyone who you actually like. I think ENFJs would be nice, ideally but also only maybe, and ENTJs seem to like us and are tough which is nice. Anyone with weak Fi is a no go. Fe is the best combo if they are strong. ISTPs can put up with a lot but we don't really connect in the end. Personality type matching is a real thing, a very real thing.

[@dianavandevalk3714]

There are so many variations of ppl in just one mbti type. I think when a person judges people)potential friends/people at work on mbti stereotypes...that person could miss out on so many nice ppl and unexpected amazing human connection and love. Why choose to close yourself off already so much and not give ppl a chance. Not even based on 'bad' behaviour but already ruling ppl out just on function. Closing yourself off like that, could also make YOU miss out on getting to know yourself better and in a deeper way, you might miss out on important life experiences and learn how to deal better with curveballs life might throw, learn how to handle conflict better, and you might miss out on personal growth etc etc. Other ppl by not knowing you, might miss out on valuable things you could teach them. Why would you not give yourself the love and care to expand yourself and give yourself the experiences to grow from? Why would you choose this way of thinking and choose to belief these particular beliefs? Would they not restrict you from your own expansion at one point? Ppl who you think might not fit you, could teach you about yourself the most(and about them of course). We need ppl in many different ways on multiple levels, ppl might need you, and we are not meant to be islands all the time. I wish you the best. - enfj

[@cspace1234nz]

I’ve only just realised in the last week about these types and that I am very clearly an INFJ. It’s both a shock and a relief all at once and explains a great many things about my life of nearly 64 years. I love my life, I really do have the most amazing life but it was not always so. I have suffered greatly till I realised and accepted who I am when I was 50. I’m here learning because I had to end a very beautiful new relationship with a woman when she ‘blew a fuse’, for want of a better term. It was too intense for her, even though she said it was the relationship she had always dreamed of. It came to a point where she could no longer even be in my presence it was too much for her. All her unresolved stuff just kept coming up and nothing I did could change that. This has been the story of my life from when I was very young. I guess it’s not surprising that my careers have been as a professional artist and 30 years as a therapist at the same time. Very interesting the whole thing

Hi, I've been watching your videos for some time and they do partially resonate with me. I have always been an infj-a and always felt that there was a purpose to my interacting with people. Delusion or divinity, my interactions have always shown people that I see their potential as a partner, professional and/or friend. Once my purpose is done, usually my relationships go away. Never in a dramatic nor hurtful fashion. All your color and description are about strength veiled in weakness, but there are some of us infj souls that walk through life KNOWING we are gifted. Long winded request for an infj-t and infj-a analysis.

This makes so much sense! And like a true INFJ/P I need to make sense of the world. I am literally crying for relief to have these answers, because I have been thinking I must be crazy and not seeing it (and doesn't every crazy person insist they're not crazy?). Besides my INFJ genes, I had an interesting childhood situation which exacerbated my relationship problems. I was deaf from the ages of 3-6 y.o. I am lucky it wasn't in the language development years, but it was during the social development years. So, I failed to learn societal expectations, and to find out how to fit into the world. Luckily, I also failed to absorb most of my alcoholic family system rules. I have spent all my life trying to figure out the rules, and trying to live by them, and hating to live that way, then trying to be authentic. I am a hermit now, for the most part.

It's not just a friend or two, the number is huge. And i kept thinking that I was a bad friend, without pointing out their mistakes. Thanks a lot. I found the validation to move on.

I'm an INFJ/INFP... I dated an INFJ, I ended it properly but I remember him not holding only limited space for accountability. He was extremely moody and always found ways to justify being mean to me. I'm grateful it's over. I will say initially there was an intense chemistry.

Wenzes is the GOAT in these INFJ streets 😩❤️

[@cobasylsylviedebreuck]

Showing who i am for real is scary because so little people like who i truly am and how intense we can be

[@HauntedTube00]

How can one sit and talk shit about somebody they call their friend?! And people wonder why I don’t trust anyone and stay to myself. I’m good😁

Your contents are always deep and profound. The thing that I did not get yet is how you reach this level of understanding self. I am thankful for your sharing contents. But please advise us more on how we can achieve your level of understanding. The mechanisms ,the science that is out there .Like ,how do you know more stuff like this and we are not .Where do we go wrong or miss the train. Fishes are great, but teach us how to fish. Please advise us ,and teach us the tools. As much as I like you and don't mind following you. I somehow want to discover my self on my own terms.

[@sonjaplomitzer5842]

Thanke you now I understand

[@rebeccaellis3128]

I have to say every sign and problem you say is so accurate and always shocks me . I just mean the problem is being an INFJ and it's not anyone's fault ...

[@larrywright4728]

Man, that's some real sh.. there! I've been thinking about this for quite a while. And don't forget, people will imitate you. You put this in perfect words. Namaste

[@mcdee56]

Profoundly juicy! I needed to hear this! Many thanks!

[@roman_kofyno]

Yeah, i knew "intensity" will be definitely key reason here even before watching 🙂
