Part of the reason I started watching these types of videos, and many others types as well, is to better understand myself and to solve my social problems. Since I found out that I am an INFJ, I have been researching the INFJ archetype, then sharing the videos with what little friends I have, which has in turn improved my ability to keep my friends, despite not seeing them over periods of months to even years.

Absolutely yes! I relate to this list. I have no friends. I have a few associates I interact with on a boring, superficial level, but no-one I consider a friend. My brother and sister do not understand me. The times I've tried to share my philosophy with them it was like throwing gasoline on a fire. They've said I was "Of Satan!". I stopped trying to share with them. I do have a cousin I can share with, but I don't talk with her very often. I also have a good wife of 49 years who is empathetic, but she is like a captive audience.

I'm 37 and only recently learned about the science behind discovering personality types. I'm an INFJ male and this video hits home hard. I honestly teared up twice... it was hard never knowing why my every attempt in social life failed. I was just told I was a quiet and shy kid and that's all it was. It never felt right. I wish more people saw this. I'm gonna share it, but I have no friends. Facebook part time friends who never get deleted... your time to shine.

Keep your head up champ, you'll be alright, focus on your goals, live your life to the fullest, do the things you love, the things that make you feel the most alive, don't worry about it, things change, focus on what you have now, embrace every blessing in life, trust me, it shall pass, you'll definitely meet someone that understands. As an INFJ man myself I can relate to what you've been through, I do have a small circle of good friends and many acquaintances, I understand that deep inner feeling of being misunderstood most of the time by your surroundings, mostly being perceived as quiet, reserved, and mysterious, don't blame the others for their incompréhension cause INFJ traits are very rare and aren't common, most people can't relate the your emotions and your character, you feel alienated like a lost piece of a puzzle, the way you can go through this is faith, you should believe in yourself and don't ever blame yourself, it is not your fault, it's just who you are, love yourself instead and have the will and guts to surpass all difficulties and challenges, trust me, you'll be ok.

I’m an INFJ female and my best friend is an INFJ male. Sometimes we don’t even have to finish sentences, the other just gets it. We simply understand each other effortlessly. Also, the points made in this video are pretty accurate. I think the only reason an INFJ might not have friends is because he/she just doesn’t want to. We CAN, we just prefer being in our own company rather than in shallow, superficial relationships that have no depth.

I can totally relate to this. I always preferred to be by myself. As a kid and teenager, my dad would always be on my case about getting out more and making friends. I would tell him all the time that I am happy that way. In school, the kids would pick on me for being so quiet, they would always ask me why I never talk and I never had an answer. I never felt that I fit in and because of that I would keep my distance from people. My sister, who was one grade below me in school, was the total opposite of me (Extroverted). She had so many friends and went out all the time. She would tell me all the time that people would tell her ("Your brother is so weird, what is wrong with him?"), of course she always agreed with them. I was always a sensitive person when others would yell at me and criticize me. (Including immediate family). If I ever would make a mistake causing inconvenience to others, I would feel so guilty, even though I knew it was never intentional. I would apologize constantly. It always makes me happy to help others, especially knowing that I made a difference in their life. I never wanted anything in return even though some people thought I did. I also served 20 years in the military and it was a tough time for me, I sort of dealt with the same issues there as I did growing up.

I'm an INFJ, and this describes me pretty well, with a few exceptions. I would never go to a restaurant and grill the server about the food, for example. I've worked in customer service roles before, and I always got annoyed when people did that sort of thing to me, so I don't want to be that person for someone else. The old soul part is pretty spot on for me. I also have trouble forming new friendships, especially romantic ones.

These INFJ channels ive seen popping up have been a blessing to help me understand myself and other INFJs, especially INFJ men. I don´t want to put myself in an INFJ box just to say well thats who I am, thats my weaknesses, thats how it is - but rather to try and improve the weaknesses and find a balance with everything. But so many things makes sense from these videos, not just this channel but others as well. A video suggestion idea from me would be maybe a video on how to combat, or improve weaknesses, or i.e how to deal with these common things etc. So instead of just stating things, maybe also videos on how to improve or use these different INFJ qualities?

When you start your typology journey at 18 identifying with the XNTP archetype and after 4 years of obsessive contemplation, maturity and meta analysis you found yourself indulging in balance and fully taking action on the jungian ideal of integrating the shadow and superego. I am finally aware and working towards the Superego of the XSFP in me and aspects of the subconcious XSFJ and not forgetting the unconcious XNTJ in me in a pursuit of all encompassing holistic balance. Its very alienating and any time I explain these concepts im seen as sacrilegious amongst my family and wife for legitimately affirming the unity of God as love not just fear or division. Its very difficult to have the understandings only to be told by people that I sound crazy or to far out there. It is now that I am working on my emotional and Physical unity to integrate my Se and Fe to better all of mankind in everyway possible by being an example of Love.

I remember reading extensively about INFJs after finding out I am one. I recall seeing something along the lines of “An INFJ is capable of getting a stranger to completely open up to them about something they’re going through and the INFJ can learn everything there is to know about this person in one conversation, only for the stranger to realize they don’t know a thing about the person they just told this information to”. I love getting to know people one on one. I am not a fan of groups but people can be quite spectacular when they feel comfortable showing their true selves. It makes me feel good that people tend to enjoy speaking with me, especially about things that are troubling them. Though it does make me sad that the active listening I do isn’t often thrown back my way. I think that’s a big reason why INFJs can be a bit hard to understand… because you just haven’t taken the time to really get to know them. You merely saw what they felt was necessary for you to see, essentially what they wanted you to see and know about them.

I am an INFJ with NLD (nonverbal learning disorder). I got a hit to my head twice when I was a child so there might be some brain damage there. I have always felt very lonely and never had any close friends. I only recently discovered that I want to help people or provide a service and would like to make a change in the world. So, I never felt truly happy with what I was studying or with my job and I get fired or I leave my job most of the time. I try to pick my friends wisely because most people just drain my energy or don't really care for me anyway. But when I do find someone that I actually like I often become too attached and try to use them to soothe my loneliness. They then feel that and go away. Especially with girls, this is a big problem. I have never had a girlfriend and often I wonder why anyone would want to be with me anyway. My parents always told me I need order in my life and in the past, I might have been better at planning my day but now I don't plan anything anymore. I have been traveling and working around Australia for the past 3 years, so all my structure and routine are gone. I have no fucking clue what I want to do or where I am going let alone that I have a 3-, 5- or 10-year plan for my life. I feel overwhelmed and stuck. Most of the time I engage in escapism and feel guilty about it afterward, I am sexually frustrated and think about death a lot. I try to look for help but I don't know where to begin or who might actually be able to help me. I need a psychologist who specializes in these topics (INFJ, NLD, neurology).

You're going to get through this, all of these struggles and hardships will make you stronger than everyone around you. It's easy to see all the things that go wrong or overwhelm you but it will all work out. Given how you've explained this, its understandable why you feel the way you do. I know other people in the same situation but are scared to tell anyone. While you might not see it this way just you writing this comment is helping people and making a change as others who feel similar won't feel so alone. I've seen this first hand that things often get worse before they get a lot better. So keep pushing on and If you feel you need a psychologist I'd just start with finding the one that sounds closest to what you described and start there. While they may not be totally familiar with INFJ and NLD they will be familiar with what you're going through. If theres anything I can do let me know:)

first, it's ok that you feel how you do and it will get better if that's deep down what you truly want and are committed to taking what necessary steps are needed to "get better". similar to a drug addict(or really any addict) when trying to get/stay clean, if there's a small part of them thats not ready to "quit"(a lot of addicts say they want to quit, but then don't, not because they didn't want to quit, but because they wanted to quit less than they did use) , they never will no matter who offers help, no matter how many times they try. only when they are 100 percent ready and willing to quit because theyve absolutely had enough and want change more than anything else(including using) will they fully commit to the paths laid out for helping people quit, do they succeed. obviously, there's exceptions to that, but in general. (hopefully you make the connections I'm getting at there) also, video gaming yourself only sounds easier than what it would/will take to pull yourself outve depression an find meaning in life(something only you can determine for yourself), and the last thing anyone who is depressed wants to do is make things harder for themselves. when you've been driving on a road with potholes for a period of time, you're gonna need to repair a couple tires, maybe even rims and suspension, before it feels smooth driving on a normal road again. also, even animals in a nice fancy cage will attempt to escape.. it's part of nature to when feeling trapped. don't be so difficult on yourself, life already got that part covered lol but, for real though, legitimate help is there when you decide to crack the window and peer out. I recommend. the breeze feels nice. :) idk the specifics with your life, and mental thoughts, etc.... so don't take anything I'm saying too serious or personal... just throwing out what general advice/perspective I have. I hope things get better for you. stay positive friend :)

I'm not too sure about other INFJ types, but i've personally never struggled making friends. Of course i only have a few out of the many who really match my wavelength, however the 'difficulty making friends' thing has been more true for me in my romantic relationships than anything else. I would also advise anyone taking personality tests to do the big 5 personalities. The two provide a much more nuanced report of you the just the one.

The problem is to find someone out there that have the same intelectual level… that I found to be almost impossible.

I'm not sure I totally agree with the statement that it's hard for INFJ's to make friends. I don't really crave friendship the way most people do. I'm usually pretty excited when I meet a fellow deep thinker, but I'm just as happy thinking to myself most days. Friends are great when they come along, but I've never gone out looking for them. On another note, being an HSP is a pain in the butt for men! I've spent my whole life trying to overcome many of my HSP traits before I even knew what a HSP was.

I'm as INFJ, my problem was never making friends, because people where attracted to me because of my energy sometimes and my quietness and deep looking personality on other times, and because I try always be good and honest to others, and many value that. My problem was always maintaining those friendships, because either I'm not always around to catch up or i struggle to keep having interest all the time and it feels always like extra energy usage. My advice to other INFJs is to make friends through activity and hobbys, because you always feel easy to talk about that thing and it draws motivation out of you, second, find one friend only because of his light heart, those people will be highly attracted to you and you will be super loyal to you, because of your good heart and charisma in the real situations. The last point, i felt it deeply as I'm in my 27th year and feel like missed out on many things and didn't get real grasp on my teens, but I'm trying now at that age to open up more to people and share more. You can't be a teenager again, but you can still have the child inside you and try to find fun and laughter in everything you do. I'm feeling like going to another level of my life, keeping the qualities of my personality beside being more public and appreciating of other relationships and personalities. Hope my all other INFJs fellows are doing good and find the best way to feel comfortable with themselves and others beside knowing where they're going with their goals. ✌️

It's pretty accurate. One thing I've noticed as an INFJ (A) male, I tend to have very good and meaningful relationships with INFP's, it's also the people that understand me better and I understand them very well. I tend to bump heads with INFJ (T) females as I'm very opinionated and would call out their flawed logic in their ideals. Profiling folks is something I tend to do but will look at their actions from a "why" they behave a certain way. I'm one of those, if you rub me the the wrong way in our first encounter, I write you off just then and there. First impressions is the make or break for me. I don't show emotions as it's something I will deal with on my own and in my private time when I'm in a rational state of mind, traumatic events I'll apply reasoning. For me to compromise is a "tongue in cheek" for me, meaning I don't approve but I'll accept. Big social gatherings drain me, so I will go do the dishes just to disconnect for a while. I'm pretty much at the point where I don't really care about searching for people who understands me as I do my own thing in life and I do like to have full control over my own life.

@@gabegutierrez21 oh definitely, nursing is like the swiss army knife of healthcare, we can go anywhere, from easy to hard. There's gigs for nurses that doesn't even require patient contact. Where INFJ strive the most are in mental health clinics, we're great listeners and usually those places are low stress. You're not even allowed to wear uniform in psyche facilities, just normal street clothes to match the clients/patients. I'm considering getting into psych nursing, or rehab. Some gigs can be 1 on 1, compared to a floor nurse that may have 4-5 patients per nurse. It's rewarding, you can leave the job anytime and find a new specialty, and you'll make big bucks no matter what. If you need to take out a loan, this is one of those programs with a high return, you can literally pay back your loan within 2-5 years with your first job. I say try it out, shadow or volunteer, see how you like it :) biggest job security job, and very rewarding. I know INFJs have it hard to find purpose in the world, leaning towards healthcare will help unlock a lot of your potential! Good luck bro!

It then makes me feel guilty, because they are good people and I hate to let them down. I know I cause disappointment.

I could care less about being accepted. I feel my masculinity is intact. This has even stirred not only resentment from others, but strategic maneuvers from others to hurt me. Socially and financially. I have put up healthy boundaries with assertiveness and healthy firm personal boundaries which makes weaker people feel inferior. If those weaker people see some sort of opportunity to maneuver something against you to set you up in order to feel better they will. Most everything in the video is spot on though.

I have done the test four times in the last 10 years, getting always INFJ as a result. I am a male, 30 years old and I have just never managed to fit in. I am nothing special and the most special one you'd ever seen. Simultaneously. As a child I was deliberately avoiding other kids and was spending all times with playing imaginary roleplays alone, or talking with adults. As a teen, loneliness stroke upon me and made me suffer for approximately 15 years. In the beginning of this calendar year, after having been experiencing yet another severe disappointment, I kind of gave it up. I am not longing for finding that Little prince&Fox-like friendship anymore. I am still needing it, but I have accepted the fact that it might never happen to me. People will always find me odd. They do accept me, some of them like me too, however I am nothing but a question mark.

I honestly feel that last bit about missing out on things as a child and then returning to them as an adult where your friends are in other aspects of life, is backwards. I had an extremely easy time making friends in my youth and I did a hell of a lot of partying as well. Now, I'm 24 years old. I dont go out, I dont socialize unless its on the internet, I dont crave bars or parties, I just want whats best for myself and my family - safety and comfort. Of course this is subjective but I'm just speaking from my own life perspective. I also value trust to an extent where it actually prevents me from wanting to make other friends as I havent established any sort of trust with a stranger. Dont get me wrong, I'm still very well versed and speak to people but its all surface level now. It would take a special person for me to trust and open up to if they were not my friend before or if they are not online and I have the luxury of turning it off whenever I want. I just want to re-ignite past relationships with people i've already established that line of trust with.

Some INFJ's feel they missed out on the partying/going out phase so then they try to do it when they're a little older but most others have moved on from it at that point. However, theres also other INFJ's who did party earlier in their lives and got tired of it quick or never cared as well so they dont feel like they missed out. I hope that makes more sense. It is a little difficult to explain but essentially just listen to the part of number 8 about the INFJ missing out and then consider that some INFJ's dont feel like they missed out.

So how then are we supposed to choose careers? My only difference is not literally being future oriented, but simply going off of intuition. Despite having had a sense of what to do, i always seemed to fall short and caught in the chaos called circumstance. Plus not being outgoing makes the arts field hard to navigate.

As an intj I could relate to some of these points. I have a best friend who is an infj and two more intj friends. I think as we grow older we become better more well rounded people. My infj friend has a good amount of friends and so do my intj ones and myself. But I could tell the friends we make are usually the type you know would die for you and you would die for them. They are deep relationship that seem to last a lifetime.

For me that's the same. It's easy for me to make connections, because I am empathic and can adapt myself to others in the way they appreciate. I used to lose myself in the process of doing that, but now I manage to have those interactions, without being unfaithful to who I am. I am also a good listener and give people the recognition they seek for. I very easily understand people in their thinking and feeling, and that helps to say the right things at the right moments. However, that takes energy. After interactions, I need time to reload myself. And I need time for myself, being at my own, with my own thoughts. And then sometimes problems start, because people expect you to see each other more often. They felt like I understand them and want more of that. But I don't feel the same, so I reject invitations and I am not eager to invest too much energy in the relationship as they would like to have or expect. Then relationships fade out sometimes, which I on the one hand regret, but also sometimes feels as a relief. Sounds familiar?

While this video hits all points, the answer to 1 of the riddles 'The Chicken or the Egg' is easy - it's the egg, when the reptiles ruled the lands, they laid eggs, including the flying reptiles and their cousins the not quite flying reptiles which became poultry . . . which lay eggs. The main question of if INFJ men have no friends is incorrect, we have plenty of friends, every day we are swamped with our friends, the only difference is they tend to not show themselves when other people are about, and not for shyness either, our friends are unique to each individual, they just cannot interact with the real world like we hope they could.

Hummm A few years ago I tested at around 60 years old and was told that I was INFJ but it didn't make my life better to be defined. I have found a sort of piece after a lifetime of soul pain not fitting in. It's painful to be so empathetic and caring yet no one cares back and you live a life of loneliness... But I adapted and now I'm more comfortable alone. I think I am comfortable being a MGTOW now (Men Going Their Own Way) as I no longer deeply desire female companionship, trying and trying to find the one who will understand and love me. Instead I have found internal happiness, by NOT trying to tell people (and not connect with them AND bore them too) about how the world really works, interesting technologies and the great future the human race has if we'll just get our act together (and I'm not an ecofreeks, I believe the solutions are MORE understanding and more new technologies) I've finally reprogrammed myself and turned my back on "the human race" and now I do what I want, when I want, eat what I want consume what I want and don't have to consult with those around me (and with no female companion to check with) for consensus it's actually peaceful. The urgency to fix things in the world (and other people's problems) has finally 'evaporated' and I feel wonderfully selfish as a good thing. Because of my personality I was very successful in earning a nest egg and now I have so many cool man toys and time to use them. So if your young and suffering from being INFJ my advice is to recognize you'll never be happy until you give up trying to have that friends and family ideal and accept that you ARE and ALWAYS WILL BE standing outside the candy shop looking through the window and just reprogram yourself to find internal satisfaction in your accomplishments. It will take years but the rewards are worth it. Be selfish without guilt because few if any care about you, they will not recognize what you do because THEY are selfish and will reject you as an odd duck as long as you keep trying to show them the world outside their bubble. They simply aren't worth the effort of your "light" trying to illuminate the world for them, since they don't have their right kind of 'eyes'.

I close up my windows and put up barriers so that I won't get hurt ever again, and having no one to disappoint nor them to me. I am a disease and a curse. Life is cruel, and so I've become.
