Around 7:10, you're talking about how you're really just trying to give yourself advice (lol), you say, "to all the other INFJ's -(and while having your head down and motioning to the camera)- IN there, try some new stuff." Instead of what would more commonly be said out, 'out there'. Implicitly recognizing we're all the same person manifesting at different locations. LoL. Love it. I thought I was an ENFJ for the longest. I just realized recently I'm an 'I'. ayyye. No pun intended.
why is this a mood. like you know whats going on, but then you're too scared to confront them about it. and then you think if you should or shouldn't. and then its too late.
I started feeling this way at work. Other staff made it seem like I was being used to do this one staff's job but I saw it as part of my job description to perform each task I'm given. I thought about putting a complaint as other staff did but I didn't. Maybe I wasn't being used. Maybe she really needed the help.
Did any INFJ here ever happened to completely lose interest in a person after they made a comment you didn't like to the point you were disappointed because you didn't see that coming, like you didn't thought they were that kind of person that you don't like. (ex.: somebody that makes a racist comment) ?
Yes, it has happened to me. It's really sad but there are things that can finish a friendship in seconds and we can't do anything about it, it just happens.
Yes! It's like if I couldn't expect that from (and perhaps, that I disapprove of it), immediately I feel like I must have messed up my WHOLE knowledge of that person, like oh my god, how did this happen!? And they suddenly feel like strangers, too!
One thing I always found odd before I found out I was an INFJ, was the part about getting others to open up to us so easily. I always thought it was strange how people always tell me mid way through their life story "I dont know why I'm telling you this" and proceeds to continue lolol
Leinad97 this is the most relatable comment, we had a new girl at work and within 5 minutes she was telling me about her addiction and life story and it’s like i don’t mind at all but i’ve always wondered why people tend to seek me out to open up to
I had a woman at work tell me about how her grandpa's leg was slowly getting removed with surgeries from this one time he ran over his foot with a lawn mower, but he was too stubborn to remove the whole thing and just get a prosthetic. She also used the line, "I don't know why I'm telling you this." Oh, that was paired with her story of her growing up, and of her life as a mother. This was on the first late night we had together.
Same, I have some trust issues so I don't really like opening up to people intentionally (it still happens unintentionally in an intimate setting), but even considering that people can open up to me really easily.
Ha! It’s seriously a burden sometimes. I went on vacation to Chicago once, and I walked into a gift shop for 10 minutes. By the time I left I had heard about the cashier having menstrual cramps that were as bad as her mother used to get, and the shy kid folding shirts in the back told me he didn’t feel like his coworkers respected him.
In my first language we have yesno as a term. It's almost always said with a small sigh or exhale - whiether it's implied positively or negatively doesn't matter. It's always understood as a subject being complex, and I love it.
I think INFJs can be in everybody's wavelength because they're good at adjusting it as their ego is low, BUT many people cannot be in the same wavelength with INFJs.
I have a reincarnation plan A & B a afterlife plan just incase! And a plan if ALL of the above scenarios fail 🤞 here's hoping 💯 "Its very difficult to do sudden! wardrobe change!! stressful when it's blindsided 🤦♂️😬🤪 I find comfort In having a Plan A,B,C,D,E,F,G etc 🙏🤸♂️🥇
1. On a different wavelength. 2. Highly perspective of others. 3. absorb other people emotions. 4. Amazing long range forecasting abilities. 5. Both emotional and rational. 6. Creators of deep emotional intimacy. 7.True introvert. 8. Sensitive to conflict. 9. End up in one-sided relationship. 10. Looking for their soulmate.
"Amazing long range forecasting abilities." Like omg, Lenovo (if that really is your name). I am like freaking Nostradamus or Cassandra and I don't want to be. I cannot even tell you the stuff I have predicted with great specificity because you would not believe me. I don't believe me, but other people know and they are totally freaked out. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh! Yeah, nobody believes me ahead of time but afterwards they're amazed. What a curse.
😂 The funniest thing about an INFJ is that we don’t just question everything and ourselves, but we also question why we question everything and ourselves.. it’s a continuous evil cycle of questioning which never ends and thus, keeps us more in our heads questioning... why do we do this, and why does matter why we do this.. and so on..
Some people lack understand for others, we don't to a curtain extent but if we do we try to make a understanding but this is something that drains us and is hard to share with others that have different views and just see things for what they are without question how they are. Maybe we are always on a quest for knowledge? Fuck knows xD anyway have a good day people
I met my husband (also INFJ) through Facebook. We found each other on a group, sent friend requests, chatted on Messenger for hours the first time. And that first chat we both knew we are meant for each other. Few weeks later, totally in love before we met face to face. First time we met face to face first thing we almost ran into each other's arms and just embrace and knew we will be married. We planned our wedding and future before he actually proposed. So it is possible to find your soul mate. Still very happily married.
I had a similar situation where my boyfriend and I immediately knew right away, searched for my soulmate my entire life, randomly ran into each other on a video game and have been inseparable since. Planned our wedding in the first month of our relationship/meeting and would have done the most irrational thing ever if money wasn't an issue. Still happily together a year later and still planning to marry. He's an ENTP who also happens to literally be our typology soulmate type. It's legitimate. Find yourself an ENTP friends!
I like your videos and I was just wondering what your back round is. I'm an INFJ, I think, and every time I try to Google you, I just get rederected to your TH-cam feed. I just want to know why you put so much thought and effort into the Myers-Briggs personality test.
After we finish talking there is almost always (I think. ...I mean, in my case maybe(?)) this moment when you stare in complete silence the other person, pondering if the percentage of what you just said that they understood is about 15% or 20% this time. And you can literally see either a blank face like you broke them or the gearwheels of their brain moving.
Connie Collims & it’s not a conversation filler lol we actually really are checking if the person(s) understands what the heck we are talking about hahaha
@@drennanspitzer6387 Yes, that's the actual, probable future. I prefer the fantasy one, where I'm a bestselling, millionaire author with a yacht and a mansion :D
Lol I play these at 1.75 speed because "I know" but it's stress relief because I can hear someone else narrate my thoughts instead of doing it myself. And I learn smtg too 😂
You INFJ's are awesome. It is a pleasure to go through the comment section. So much self awareness and mental clarity. A lot of love and respect from an ENTP 🙏
Actually it's not that easy. If an infj doesn't know he's infj he's gonna feel reeeeeally wrong about a LOT of stuff, so you reach mental clarity after a lot of self studying (just explaining a little). But whenever he gets there, it's the way you said, and it's a cool/weird experience to live
@@rslhruaizela1955 honestly lol this is where infjs meet up, we’re constantly learning and it’s the one time we close to focus on learning about ourselves
Anyone of you ever feel like you can see your decisions and emotions from an objective, 3rd person perspective? And then judge yourself based on it. In other words, I'm talking about an insane level of self-awareness. Anyone? :p
One of the side effects is an inability to take part in most normal human activities without feeling ridiculous or guilty or immobilized by self awareness. Watching myself watching myself etc... What would an alien from a different planet or dimension think of the activity? Why are we doing this? When did the activity first get started? So many questions to think about. I can't just do something! I have to understand everything about it and decide if it's actually something worth doing or is it hurting someone or something? Is it beautiful or destructive. Another side effect is referring to other people and myself as human beings and disassociating my consciousness from my physical reality. How about you?
I feel like I'm always fighting against my long-term forecasting. Also, "I think INFJs generally don't like dating. They don't like this search." We really don't.
Do you ever find it useful though? I think I can learn much on a date. Such as whether I want a 2nd or not. I'm not trying to sound like a snob or anything like it. That's why I totally believe in the Importance of the "Kind" of date we spend our time with.,Does that make sense?
@@FrankJames Sometimes yes, sometimes Nope! What's your idea of a cool kind of date? Yes, I agree the Search can sometimes suck but oooooooh the planting and growing can sure be delicious!!!!
@@wingwaves940 Dating can be useful, for sure. Kind of like getting out and talking to people can be useful (and good for me). But both wear me out big time, even when I'm having a good time. And for me, I've never really been one who sees dating as an end in itself, but a means to getting to what I really want: a long-term, deep, and committed relationship. Thankfully, that's where I'm at now, but I remember dating (and don't miss it at all).
YES. I've delayed pursuing a Master's in Mental Health Counseling due to the economic / time commitment anxiety. I KNOW this is the career I should pursue, but the worry literally keeps me up every night. I try to be rational, "people do this program all of the time," but I seem to perpetually scare myself away from it.
Well someone that can actually understand you , can understand why you seem to know a person simple by look at that person and ecc.. Trust me I happened to meet one of my two best friend that is a INFJ like me and it's like sharing a telepath friendship XD , bye ^-^
True! I would like to meet one as a friend but just like you are saying being two INFJs in a relationship might be a bit overwhelming. I can barely handle myself when I’m in “philosophical” mode 🤪
People constantly tell me their deepest secrets or share things they've never shared before AS SOON AS they meet me. I'm waiting for the day I hear, "And now I have to kill you because I told you."
its kinda weird, like they tell you upfront right after they meet you with the lines of "I've never told anybody this lol" and you wonder if you're special or they're trying to make you feel special but no, they've told 15 other people this just like how they met you.
@@vminisfuckingreal998 sometimes that's the case but often times I get to know these people long term and nobody knows their secret. Some examples are: a previous marriage, having a blackbelt, closet homosexuality, a child at home (everyone at work thinks she has no kids), being extremely wealthy, etc. Maybe they sense that I feel it's silly to judge one's character on these things and that I'd gain nothing from sharing their information.
CaroSam Chwa, I can also relate to your empath tendency. That's me too. A friend a few years ago told me what an Empath is. We're all at different levels of sensitivity, but More sensitive than Most people. ( I'm pretty sure we're blessed with a nice intuition about others too--we can read a lot about them just by their body language, tone of voice, behavior, etc.) I feel lucky to be more intuitive, but not always being an empath. Oh well, we feel more, we notice more, and are more compassionate. I'd rather be all of these than not. Hope you are doing great btw. I just found this channel--and I Love it. Sooo informative. He is so intelligent. Refreshing to find.
i hate it because it makes me look vulnerable. but again, i want to understand other people because there are times where they see everybody not understanding what they feel
As an INFJ progresses both academically, esoterically, and psychologically makes us pretty much independent and capable of anything given the right time and effort. So we end up cleaning up our own mess.
Does anyone get where you feel like you KNOW whether you'll click with someone or feel comfortable/safe with them within minutes of meeting them? I've done this my whole life. If I don't feel comfortable, I automatically hide many aspects of myself behind a wall as I feel they won't get me.
Yep. I usually know instinctively whether someone is “safe”. For many years I ignored my instincts; thinking I was so damaged that I wasn’t being rational about others. That has resulted in some traumatic relationships. Being reserved is not a bad thing. I could take a page out of your book. I tend to over-share when I’m uncomfortable. That can be annoying to others and it definitely results in more anxiety for me. Finding balance can be difficult!
The thing I hate most about being an INFJ is being so self-aware. Being so hyper aware of how you could be perceived or how you sound is so draining. It feels like everytime I interact with people I have to orchestrate how I present myself or even as I’m talking I’m aware of how (insert negative association) I’m being and feel so uncomfortable about it afterwards
Yes! This is the worst, I think about if I am walking normally or if my posture looks okay. In groups of people I never know what to do with my hands. Nobody has ever criticized me on any of this, but people have said I walk very upright lol
YES. I was just talking about this with my mom the other day. I always say "probably" when asked if I can do something because I don't ever break plans willingly. I sometimes say yes when I'm positive I won't back out. So, when others say that they can do something but eventually say that they can't or that something is true that they didn't actually look into, it bothers my brain!
Yep, it’s definitely an INFJ thing. We like controlling everything and creating a plan in mind so when we have to change our plans last minute it is really irritating.
YES ! It fucken makes me so angry. My bf is that kind of "I change my mind in the last minute" not punctual guy. Takes me so much nerve and patience to deal with it lol, but I love him too much. He knows I get angry and is also patient with my so 50 50 lol I still hate that shit though lol
I believe we are all chameleons when it's necessary. But it is also exhausting, so re charge, learn from your mistakes and keep putting one foot in front of the other. You are the smartest person in the room, whether you went to college, got a Phd. or not, Your intuition will always be your compass and a good one it is.
I don't know if this is necessarily an INFJ thing or 'secret', but I recently noticed that if there is someone I am interested in, I will start to behave differently depending on what I think will draw that person's attention to me. This way, I try to get this person to come up to me instead. I wouldn't say my behaviour is necessarily 'fake' though; I am just channeling a part of me that may sometimes not be in the foreground. For example, if a person is very logical-minded, I will draw on my more logical side as well to get them to focus on me in a group. Once I've got them one on one, I will show them more of my other sides too, which will then hopefully come as a pleasant surprise and leaves them intrigued. I don't know if you would consider this manipulation, but it's the only strategy that often works in which I don't have to boldly go up to someone that I am interested in. Anyone else here who does this?
I don't think that's manipulation because like you said you are drawing on one facet of you and not only that, ultimately. Sounds like a natural way of going about things.
@@nashiPAGE sounds more "tactful" to me. Manipulation seems like using or trying to alter people as you would objects. Tactful is more like "what's the best way?"
I'll straight out say this to you INFJs: I think you are awesome! You heal up people left and right, and whatever your past relationships were (plz forgive my grammar), you and the people's life you'd touch are an invaluable life experiences bad or good. Be grateful for it that it refines all us to be the best version you could strive. Every heartfelt connection you feel is a soulmate (fated), until you find 'The One' unexpectedly creep up on you. Don't give up on life and living! Thank you for living ❤️
I’m an infj and I agree with a lot of these things, I feel weird having this intuition when I know certain situations are bad and certain people are bad. I only have 2 friends and I’ve known this people for years. I also don’t like loud environments and loud people give me anxiety. I am very aware of my ego and when I catch myself judging people for no reason and sit my self down and ask who am I to judge them. I love listening to people and giving them advice. I also feel like one of the reasons why I’m in this world is to help and change people’s lives. I don’t feel like I fit in anywhere and I don’t like to show who I am to people I don’t know. I also would like to stop holding myself back from doing fun things and being myself completely because I label myself as an “introvert” and introverts are supposed to be shy and quiet and pretend they’re invisible, but I would love to be careless sometimes and live life to the fullest. I could go on and on but I also don’t want to waste anyone’s time...
So relatable! And you're not wasting someones time. We are free individuals who can decide whether we want to read more or not and there sure are many who would be willing to read what else you have to say.
@@nemoforvermore8085 thank you! This means the world to me as I would love to become a book writer, I just don't have the confidence to do so but people like you give me hope that someone would actually like to read what I have to say and this little bit of reassurance is what keeps my dream alive♥️
But how?doesn't it make you have less relationships?I mean I thought about it and realized if I want a relationship with both give and takes at the same amount...I mean is that even possible?can there be someone who cares about you just as much as you care about them?or do they care more AFTER you become more selfish? Sorry for my bad english and sorry for talking alot...I just suddenly felt like I should write these...
@@ginnybaudelaire8177 yes, in relationship we need to give and take. There is no way a one side relationship. But sometimes as an introverted person with "too much" care for others makes me feel bad and I feel like everyone trying to hurt me. I try to be more selfish and think about what will affect me before I try to help or be kind to other people. If the person is truly care for u I bet he/she will try their best not to hurt you 😊
@@russelalmanzor4056 for example... when someone is telling me how they feel about something, I will lie about my own experiences with a similar situation, so they feel like I understand them...
YES. Holy crap. I have an example... I've been doing langauge learning as a hobby for... almost 2 years now (since Nov. 2019), which is hilarious in itself because I already know I'm going to hesitate to actually use it with people in conversation. Not only that, but I've tried about 20 langauges AND CONSTANTLY switch which one is the "main" focus because I kept losing interest. And not only that, but feeling the need for some reason to remember the history of what I was interested in for some reason. Literally, in under 2 years, my interest died THIS many times-- my main focus went from Russian to Spanish to Romanian to Swedish to Spanish again (stayed here for a few months) and Japanese to Korean to Spanish again to Vietnamese and back to Spanish then Russian again then German then Spanish AGAIN to Korean to... you guessed it, Spanish, Russian, and Spanish again (for a few months), to Japanese again (stayed here for a few months), then suddenly it was Spanish, German, Korean, and Mandarin all at once (this is now May 2021, and Japanese died for some reason), then German and Mandarin died out, then suddenly I got interested in Japanese again, which suddenly took over everything else, making my interest in Korean die, and Spanish barely hanging on, then after a couple of months, Spanish made a comeback for no longer than a week before I got frustrated and got into the current situation for the past couple of weeks where I practically juggle Spanish, Japanese... and Swedish made a comeback again. That wasn't even all of the languages. There's a bunch that weren't listed because they lasted not even half a week before I lost interest. My interest in certain types of music/TH-cam videos is somehow even more complicated than that. Am I the most indecisive person born into Earth?!?! the more i type the more i realize why im single, my interest in people is this bad too, and SEVERE overthinking
I think like most other stuff it’s a yes and no. If you plan everything on that person the stubbornness comes out but if you struggle to find a plan for that person, you can very easily drop them (maybe even harmfully)
the part about dating: FINALLY SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS WHAT I GO THROUGH. my psychologist tells me why i don't date or put myself out there. you got it perfectly. and also, it's sooo scary. sometimes i wonder if I'll die alone and i get sad. then i go back to focus on my career and telling myself thats all i need. so sad lol
I was thinking about getting a baby from a sperm donor, but then again... What if those genes turn out to be bad??? What am I gonna do with a kid from a person I never knew or truly connected to? It's easier to just go back to being a lawyer. I don't want to die alone though.
This comment came and beat down the door where I live. I really like being close to people (like family and a couple friends) but I always put off anything new because I hate the gamble and prefer a career or personal exploration focus where I get very good results. I really need to stop predicting and just try some things out.
My best advice to a younger INFJ would be to learn to become your own soulmate. Learn to hold your own needs (and wants!) with as much care as you do others'. Jesus teaches us to love one another as we love ourselves. "AS", not "MORE!"
I'm a INFJ and on the part of being intuitive,...I remember being 5 years old and scared that the other kids could read my thoughts and see what I was thinking telepathically,...I felt like an alien from another world. I was picked on badly in school for being so shy and didn't talk much. I was friends with all the misfits who i could relate to and i would stand up for them if they were ever bullied. Your videos have really helped me to better understand myself and I feel less alone in the world.
When I was younger I wanted to have a computer system that could yield answers to my questions I had about other people. I also posed the Q to my mom asking her if she would want to have a download of information to get a skill rather than the work it requires...she asked me what I've been smoking.
I'm 56. I struggle with boundries and meeting my own emotional needs. I'M SO happy that so many young people have these words of wisdom, they are spot on. Please learn to take care if your own emotional needs. I love that I'm a giving person . Doing kind things, and making people happy makes me happy, but I've never learned to treat myself with the same love and kindness that is so easy to give to others.
When I found out I was an INFJ everything made so much sense with how I never felt I could relate to other people and always felt like an outcast. I still always feel like I don’t quite belong here. Why does everyone else have a place when I don’t? It’s something I’ve never quite figured out. One of the biggest things my therapist honed in on for me was to stop thinking about the future. I still can’t bring myself to do a lot of stuff cause I don’t see it going anywhere so I don’t try. I want to be and feel special, but I don’t, and I always wonder what that’s like. It really does feel like I’m on another plane of existence.
I can relate to the feeling of belonging to a place less than other people around me so so much! I guess, you are not alone on this other plane of existence. And you definitely are special even if you don't feel that way
I feel the samee. I just found out ab personality types today, i start researching what INFJ is, and all. And i found so many people that like myself, i'm not feeling like an weirdo with self diagnose. First i thought im a depressed teenager with multiple personalities :"))) Im so happy to meet you guys
That’s true and relatable. I always thought reaching all my future goals would make me happy, but then another always pops up, and the goal I reached doesn’t bring the satisfaction I initially thought it would. Then I realized that I’m going to waste my life away never feeling satisfied with the place I’m at and always dreaming of the goal in sight. Happiness isn’t in goals or accomplishments or the future. At least for me, it’s about those experiences and true connections with people I actually care about. And doing things that bring me joy, just for myself.
I've felt like this all my life and moved to lots of different countries but never stayed longer than 2 years. Also I've often been told that I'm not normal and should try to change to fit in more. Needless to say that was useless. The feeling of belonging happens when you start finding people similar to yourself.
i think that we can also be possessive and jealous when it comes to our loved ones: we don't get attached easily, but when we do, the attachment is steel strong. we keep our loved ones close to us and guard them jealously.
ace fairy aimei yes!! We don’t get close. So when we select someone. They are special. We get clingy. We guard them. Get overbearing. We need to back off 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰🤓🐥🐙
ace fairy aimei this has totally been my experience. Jealousy is a really hard one to pick apart and is about the only emotion I’ve struggled with my whole life. Getting there though. Understanding on a deep level who my loved ones are and what keeps them healthy and thriving is how I’ve been able to curb my own jealousy towards my chosen ones being with the non chosen ones. Thank you for pointing this out.
“try some new stuff” really hit me because i’m such a routine person the comfort zone is real with an INFJ but new stuff = constant stress and “what if this doesn’t work/end well”
Immediate emotional intimacy: We blab our innermost desires and wishes and dreams. This gives Narcissists & Users the exact details on what to do to play us. It's not a good thing to do.
So TRUE. Warning: BE CAREFUL of This...Educate yourselves on red flags of Narcissism. You will be SOOOOOOOOOOOOO GLAD YOU DID. *Know Their Traits* so you are AWARE of What to Look for. Because not knowing...well let's just say---you WILL Fall victim to them and they will Manipulate your mind like a damn alien! It's Ugly and you will take Forever to heal from it all. *Stay FAR AWAY from them!*
While true, I can usually spot a narcissist almost immediately, so the couple of instances I've had where I had to deal with one, it's not terribly difficult to flip the tables on them.
I have a friend who is kind of a narcissist but we are kind of close we laugh all the time but i think it must be some extreme narcissist you are talking about 💀 for now i have not met one.
I cried through this entire video because I never knew myself until now and I feel happier to be able to have more of a grasp on my life I’m a young INFJ having a hard time in life right now... it’s lonely.
Learn to become a self soother and remember to visit your happy place as often as you can… to recharge and reset (contemplate) for yourself. Don’t push off, find and make it happen. If not now, when? Now. Now is the acceptable time.
I'm convinced that all us INFj's have been diagnosed with anxiety disorder or have experienced our fair share. We're constantly worrying about what people think of us, our future, being too ambitious yet indecisive it's exhausting
Maybe in the future don't quit job. Use your talent to have fun with these squeaker s and sqweelers It's hilarious when the story gets back and it is so twisted out of shape you have to go to the bathroom before you pee your pants from laughing.
Oh my gosh, this makes so much sense! I can't stand spending 40 hours a week with people, or an atmosphere, I hate or that bring me down, and that's probably why I move on from jobs quickly. I value my contentment and happiness more than anything else in a job.
@retrogradepink YES! Truth is we are All Souls and here we are on a tiny blue dot hurtling through space. All Here, All Mates. I like to think if I don't have what I want, want what I have! Then everything else is chocolate icing on chocolate cake :-) Nummmmmlol!
Sorry, but as an INFJ, that doesn't work for me. I'm old enough now that I completely love myself and have learned to ask my mate when I need some love and cuddles and support. But I cannot be, and would not want to be, happy living alone. We all need support, and trust me, the happiest moments in life are happiest when they are shared. That said, there's no such thing as one soulmate or a perfect soulmate. There are thousands of great matches out there for you. Love yourself first, find what you need to feel confident and stable, then realize you WILL find someone who's worth it.
I think we're good at handling conflict in the sense that- we're good mediators. But it's almost as though when the conflict is directed at us, we struggle. I hope that made sense.
I feel the reason conflict can be so difficult for us maybe because we're feeling our emotions combined with the emotions from the other person? We can easily become overwhelmed and that can be very uncomfortable. I've had arguments where I was visibly shaking and I didn't think they were intense at all definitely not bad enough to make my body have a reaction like that! Being INFJ really is a blessing and a curse, but I wouldn't change it for the world! We are all beautiful souls who love the deepest and strongest. Maybe that's why there are so few of us. It's too bad that unfortunately we're often taken for granted and abused.
@@jennymowery79 I'm kind of just talking to myself here, but this may be why I have a pretty short fuse (I think infj's often do). Because we're escalting our own emotions based on the emotions of someone else, who may or may not be instigating intentionally. And that can just cause escalation in a situation. When we're being targeted, we dont have time to apply the logic based thinking to ourselves like we nornally would (after the fact), and have to deal on an emotional basis. But if the other person is being hostile, it can be hard to mediate that without another side to work off of that you have an idealistic view of and that you may think deserves the tempered mediation. I thinking working on figuring out who you are can help you see yourself as more of a tangible entity to work off of (and actually create distance from in the moment) and kind of use to mediate in a tempered fashion with.
@@jennymowery79 I totally feel that way! I struggle so much with conflict. I am feeling whatever I am feeling towards them - while also feeling whatever their feeling toward myself! It's a wreck. And yes, I will get incredibly shaky and agitated. I don't know what to do with all that energy and emotion. It doesn't have anywhere to go. :( But I appreciate how sensitive I am and how I can see other's perspectives so well!
About number 10. I feel like the fact that we’re very intuitive we know when a relationship is not going to last or we feel like they don’t really love us or feel like is going to end badly so we just avoid that posible relationship.
My sister is an INFJ and after watching your video I feel so sad. I’ve always felt the need to protect her from the world bc she is unique. Now after watching this if anyone hurts her I might eat their souls and I’m an ENTP btw..
Last year (before I knew I was a INFJ) I had a crush on this guy that was slightly narcissistic, luckily I noticed before anything happened but dude was that weird. And now seeing everyone comment things like this just makes me wonder wtf was going on in my mind. (Hopefully it makes sense)
Unfortunately I also fell victem to a narcissist that messed my head up pretty bad. But I had to let all of that go and move on. Now im stronger and even quicker to spot the red flags they drop.
Can you guys explain this in more detail? I'm pretty certain I am super INFJ now, but this is one point I can't relate at all. Why are you attracted to narcissists? What is it about them that you find attractive? I'm not just taking notes so I can become a narcissist to attract INFJ girls I promise ^_^
The second point relates to why I’m ~always~ so interested in reading what others think of books/movies/series I enjoy. Half the fun for me is digging through post after post of opinions and interpretations 😄
aluckyshot Whoa, me too!! I spend more time reading comments sections than the material/videos themselves. Used to have a Word doc collecting the funniest or most insightful ones I came across 😆
When reading comments made by self declared INFJs I question just how many have actually taken part in the MBPI test or have been declared as an INFJ by a clinical psychologist I doubt it is as many as are claiming to be just because they wish to be part of a rare group of individuals. Your comment about living in the “now” speaks volumes to me. And I wonder how many self professed INFJs even can relate to the “now” and the “inner being” of one’s self and to just “be”. Stay strong and take time for yourself it can’t always be about caring for others that don’t even understand who or what you are. 🙏🏽
About the online dating... I actually really enjoy looking at different profiles...for no other reason than learning more about different people. I dont really care much for using the app for what it's for, but I find it really interesting to, in a sense, discover more about other human beings😂 Can anyone else relate? Literally, I'm completely useless on a dating app, but I get a kick out of the stories people share 🤷🏻♀️😂
YES! 100% in the one-sided relationship thing...if you don't watch out for this, it will make you bitter and resentful when you are in your 40s. I am truly envious of anyone who figures out their personality young.
Albrunelle, man, I wish I knew about this when I was young as well! It explained so much about the conflicts between my Mom & I.. Being a little mini-truther & she, a huge fibber .. What I thought was just correcting an error... Omg I must of humiliated the hell out of her! lol she couldn't just say "shhhh honey, tellin a fib here" that would be admitting to something... Rince and repeat.. I guess being born under the sign of Leo & have 6 planets in that sign, very much balanced out my introvert, in reflection.. I became aware of the test no more than a yr ago...it has opened up a whole new understanding... Im not crazy after all! Lol
This was very interesting and hard to believe there is only 4 people with these gifts. I relate and it gave me a place with self. This gave me a reason to be alone. Yes i will say. . love your self
I feel like a lot of people don’t understand how sensitive we can be, like it’s something that I physically take on.. You really nailed it with the explanations
The idealist in the INFJ is what causes that love trouble. The idea in our mind of the perfect soulmate does not exist. If WE can’t even be perfect and we actually have control over that, then HOW can we expect anyone else to be?
It's too hard to believe this concept Few years ago even few months I though I'm so perfect and i couldn't even understand how could someone be wrong when he is planning everything how can i be wrong when I know it's wrong and i know what is the right thing I still could not understand this point clearly
Everything’s true... and 10 is on point...I’m always searching for the “click” , it doesn’t even have to be “romantic” ... I just want another person who can totally get me.... because sometimes even my parents, the closest people to me, don’t understand my feelings and responses towards some situations
Finding out I’m an INFJ at least gave me a point from which I could then begin to orient myself correctly (for me) inside this crazy upside down world which I do NOT easily fit in. Might not be easy, but it IS so worth it. It’s nice to know I’m not just a collection of disorders or something else horrible, which WAS what I thought I was before I learned the MBTI thing. I see it as relief and a blessing💚 That said, when I learned about my INFJ title, I sat on the floor and bawled my eyes out in a flurry of so many good, bad and all the emotions in-between. Then I began RESEARCH🤗
Honestly, I find INFJs really interesting and lovely. At least all the INFJs I've met are great, and I'm amazed by the way they view the world. I can relate to them to a certain point, but I always thought that they have very unique personality traits. I know that being an INFJ without knowing that you are an INFJ can be frustrating, and they might even feel misunderstood; I wish that more INFJs knew their value. My english is bad, sorry :]
Omg, yes. Sometimes it is kind of annoying to know what is going to happen, but other times it's quite funny. I'll often sit there and say something and then it turns out to be the next line :D
It is difficult to find a movie that doesn’t seem overtly contrived. I never understand why others don’t see things that are obviously going to happen or what the ending of the movie will be. Big Fish now that was one movie that was delightfully surprising on many levels. Very touching movie as well.
As an INFJ, I´ve sabotaged myself sooo much bc i was trying to make everyone happy, most of my friends take take and take, and im always resolving conflict, but i cant be "selfish" to make sure Im happy....I´ve sabotaged so many relationships bc it felt too good to be true
This hit right in my core :") My ex friends always always just used me and I knew it..I was the one who always solved their problems or conflicts.Whenever they had hard time or needed help,they seek me for comfort but when the problems are gone,they turned their backs on me.It went on like that for years until they found a new group of friends and completely ignored me..So I finally cut them off my life... Afterwards,they regretted losing me. I know noone's gonna care for them as much as I did and its their loss.You know what I am saying?
I hate selfishness, even me myself being "selfish" is just absolutely forbidden for me, i don't go there, it's a forbidden rule,, illegal, so completely ignore it,,,,,, I'm not supposed go that way,, a natural rule i set,, tho im 18, i just turned 18, everything is new it feels weird and new,,,, i meant new as in *New New new* it doesn't makes sense and i dont understand it, and its scary,, bc i feel like a, yk a new soul but both an old soul,, Wtf the more i explain the more my mind goes on static,, static tv scresn Anyways, I'm going to discord
I’m so glad to hear you say how odd it is to have a complete stranger suddenly tell you something extremely personal. In my family we jokingly referred to it as ‘the face’. About half of us had it, the other half didn’t. But found what people would freely disclose was often funny, sometimes heartbreaking, and frankly quite confusing. Having ‘the face’ caused several problems for me growing up. In particular- my own teachers would confide in me far too often.
"If your having trouble finding your Soulmate..its your fault".🥺😢😢😂😂 I laughed and rolled my eyes the whole video at the accuracy lol. We really do have tunnel vision lol we want to be certain that this is it and we just want it to be that over and done with lol we hate being in the dark bc we just know things intuitively and we love when we see things before they happen. Also you are all beautiful people and were all soulmates now.
You are the ULTIMATE LEGENDARY INFJ COACH!!! Every clip is spot on and so true. Your delivery with the touch of humour (which is hilarious), emphasises the reality check we all need in order to become self aware. God bless you. Thank you❤
This is quite accurate. #10 Thirty six years since my husband left me, no boyfriends in all that time, maybe 3 dates (2 different people) in all that time. I don't feel that I missed out on anything. I learned to be just friends to men, no romantic involvement, and I like them better that way. Do I want a soul mate? Yes, but I am reeeeeeelly cautious about that. Being married is no big deal to me, unless it is to the right person. I've been a lot happier single, with nobody nagging me, no man breaking my heart.
As an INFJ I hate it when the natural perceptiveness combines with my social anxiety. It makes an interesting combo. "He just sighed for the fifth time is he tired or stressed?" "Well, we have been sitting here for 30 minutes." "Oh my god, does he hate me?" "Does he hate me and I've just been missing that?"
What you talked about regarding the “social games that we know how to play - but we still experience things such as anxiety “ that resonated with me very much. It’s hard to describe or put across to people because it’s almost like being manipulative or pulling some strings without them knowing but it’s in their best interest and to make then feel better! You described it well 👍🏼
INFJ. I remember at one time feeling so depressed because I always felt like what I wanted or needed was less important than that of others. I was always put aside because everyone around me needed more. It got so bad that I completely gave up on myself and declared that what I wanted didn’t even matter anymore. It was bad.
This is me after an argument or confrontation. I can choose my words so carefully and try to think about everything I say and all the aspects of the conversation. Mess up once in a while where that glitches, sound like I'm being judgmental, putting someone down or dismissive. Immediately panic.....but others get to say things without thinking, say rude shit and apologize and I'm cool with it. I do it a few times it's the end of the world, with or without being called on it and spiral into thinking I'm a monster and I shouldn't share or react to my thoughts or feelings because it just causes me grief. The self image issues are a struggle for me.
My ex was a completely low level thinker. I literally felt like I had to break away from him with the fury. I could read him like a book, and I hated that I felt so aware of what he was doing behind my back... My empathy kept me tied to the sinking ship. I could not see the future around him because the man has no dreams. It was a very one sided relationship. I cut the cord and threw away the key. It damn near killed me to stay, and killed me to leave. Perfect doesn’t exist, but my last few relationships have been so far off the mark, it’s unbelievable that people can be this Narcissistic.
I also find that I need a partner that is also striving for their goals and always setting new ones. If not, we end up being pinned down by them and run in an orbit around their rock-being ass.
60 years old, married to a narc for 26 years. @Shadow Veil; glad you got away, lady! Me too. It was bad and he was oblivious to the whole process that I had in place so fast when he got served. I already moved out, the 2 adult children were in college and I was gone girl. Did a couple of relationships after the divorce and they were all narcs, so now I am happy to be alone with my thoughts and doing my life my way, relationships are too much work. Sex just isn't that important anymore.
Not sure if they are narcissistic or they just realize that they can step on you and get away with stuff. A lot of people who are not narcissistic would do that
This is sooo relatable. I've been in a couple relationships without really knowing myself and both were very one-sided. Now I'm looking for my true match by listening to my intuition first and foremost... If they make me feel comfortable, then that's a good sign
OMG THE ONE SIDED RELATIONSHIP HURT. That was so accurate to the point where I was waaaaay to called out 😂 The soulmate one killed me in the other way. I love his example 😂
I feel like a chameleon sometimes around people. I fold or mutate into their sphere. Sometimes I try to "imitate" what being "normal" is like. Lol The words coming out of my mouth are not the words in my head. "No one is more important than the person next to me." I LOVE when people talk about their feelings, so I don't have to talk about mine. 😊
I like your explanation because you always remind us that 'Hey, INFJ is like this but so is everyone else'. Like the fact that INFJ is in different wavelength but so is everyone or INFJ picks up people's emotion but non-INFJ out there can also do the same. Those are not superpowers possessed by INFJ only.

Around 7:10, you're talking about how you're really just trying to give yourself advice (lol), you say, "to all the other INFJ's -(and while having your head down and motioning to the camera)- IN there, try some new stuff." Instead of what would more commonly be said out, 'out there'. Implicitly recognizing we're all the same person manifesting at different locations. LoL. Love it. I thought I was an ENFJ for the longest. I just realized recently I'm an 'I'. ayyye. No pun intended.
OMG so me in the future and all that goes with it.

Me first time meeting someone... Leaves knowing everything about them...Me the next time I see them... Won't even make eye contact
Even when I’m being manipulated, I know when I’m being manipulated 🙂
why is this a mood.
like you know whats going on, but then you're too scared to confront them about it. and then you think if you should or shouldn't. and then its too late.
This is what happened to me with my friend hahahha like I'm not stupid I'm enjoying tho
Yeah, IT HURTS SO GOOD... ha
I started feeling this way at work. Other staff made it seem like I was being used to do this one staff's job but I saw it as part of my job description to perform each task I'm given. I thought about putting a complaint as other staff did but I didn't. Maybe I wasn't being used. Maybe she really needed the help.
Haha true
Did any INFJ here ever happened to completely lose interest in a person after they made a comment you didn't like to the point you were disappointed because you didn't see that coming, like you didn't thought they were that kind of person that you don't like. (ex.: somebody that makes a racist comment) ?
Yes, it has happened to me. It's really sad but there are things that can finish a friendship in seconds and we can't do anything about it, it just happens.
That happens to me too often
Many times. And it's amazing how instantly my feelings can change.
Yes! It's like if I couldn't expect that from (and perhaps, that I disapprove of it), immediately I feel like I must have messed up my WHOLE knowledge of that person, like oh my god, how did this happen!? And they suddenly feel like strangers, too!
Oh how this ruined so many possibilities of relationships
One thing I always found odd before I found out I was an INFJ, was the part about getting others to open up to us so easily. I always thought it was strange how people always tell me mid way through their life story "I dont know why I'm telling you this" and proceeds to continue lolol
Leinad97 this is the most relatable comment, we had a new girl at work and within 5 minutes she was telling me about her addiction and life story and it’s like i don’t mind at all but i’ve always wondered why people tend to seek me out to open up to
This.
I had a woman at work tell me about how her grandpa's leg was slowly getting removed with surgeries from this one time he ran over his foot with a lawn mower, but he was too stubborn to remove the whole thing and just get a prosthetic. She also used the line, "I don't know why I'm telling you this."
Oh, that was paired with her story of her growing up, and of her life as a mother.
This was on the first late night we had together.
Same, I have some trust issues so I don't really like opening up to people intentionally (it still happens unintentionally in an intimate setting), but even considering that people can open up to me really easily.
Ha! It’s seriously a burden sometimes. I went on vacation to Chicago once, and I walked into a gift shop for 10 minutes. By the time I left I had heard about the cashier having menstrual cramps that were as bad as her mother used to get, and the shy kid folding shirts in the back told me he didn’t feel like his coworkers respected him.
The way Frank sometimes say “Yes and no” for a point, just proves how much of an INfJ he really is!!😂 Same Dude. Same.
In my first language we have yesno as a term. It's almost always said with a small sigh or exhale - whiether it's implied positively or negatively doesn't matter. It's always understood as a subject being complex, and I love it.

"Amazing long range forecasting abilities." Like omg, Lenovo (if that really is your name). I am like freaking Nostradamus or Cassandra and I don't want to be. I cannot even tell you the stuff I have predicted with great specificity because you would not believe me. I don't believe me, but other people know and they are totally freaked out. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh! Yeah, nobody believes me ahead of time but afterwards they're amazed. What a curse.
Imagine adding me as a Gemini too lol man it's challenging
THANK YOU
I thought long range forecasting was more ne
😂 The funniest thing about an INFJ is that we don’t just question everything and ourselves, but we also question why we question everything and ourselves.. it’s a continuous evil cycle of questioning which never ends and thus, keeps us more in our heads questioning... why do we do this, and why does matter why we do this.. and so on..
So true
totally accurate
Exactly. Sometimes I wish there was an off switch.
Exactly
when you can't tell yourself to shut up because another perspective persona pops up and tells you to shut up.........
"All humans are difficult to deal with, in general." The gist of all INFJ observation.
WAHAHA
Yes... I have told myself this too many times
Exactly!
Meh, it's interesting to try to figure out what's on their mind
For me its kind of "I hate people but I love them too" does that make sense?
I love how all the infjs in the comments are just so nice and peaceful and understanding 😭😭 it’s so rare to see in comment sections
😁
Well we are rare lol
^-^
Some people lack understand for others, we don't to a curtain extent but if we do we try to make a understanding but this is something that drains us and is hard to share with others that have different views and just see things for what they are without question how they are. Maybe we are always on a quest for knowledge? Fuck knows xD anyway have a good day people
Well yeah, we try to understand and be neutral about things so we avoid being mean and rude.
I met my husband (also INFJ) through Facebook. We found each other on a group, sent friend requests, chatted on Messenger for hours the first time. And that first chat we both knew we are meant for each other. Few weeks later, totally in love before we met face to face. First time we met face to face first thing we almost ran into each other's arms and just embrace and knew we will be married. We planned our wedding and future before he actually proposed. So it is possible to find your soul mate. Still very happily married.
❤️✨
Which type u r?
Stop, this gives me hope, it’s dangerous to hope at this point 😭
@@rocketta.chique5761 exactly
I had a similar situation where my boyfriend and I immediately knew right away, searched for my soulmate my entire life, randomly ran into each other on a video game and have been inseparable since. Planned our wedding in the first month of our relationship/meeting and would have done the most irrational thing ever if money wasn't an issue. Still happily together a year later and still planning to marry. He's an ENTP who also happens to literally be our typology soulmate type. It's legitimate. Find yourself an ENTP friends!
INFJ in a nutshell: well yes but actually no
tru dat hunny
Bella good guess but actualy no
No wonder ENTP and INFJ is a thing. ENTPs also likes contradicting ideas and try to make sense of it.
I like your videos and I was just wondering what your back round is. I'm an INFJ, I think, and every time I try to Google you, I just get rederected to your TH-cam feed. I just want to know why you put so much thought and effort into the Myers-Briggs personality test.
Kiwi Infj: Yeah nah yeah
It tickles me how many of these comments end with: "I hope that makes sense"
Literally how I end most of my explanations in real life 😂
That's so us lol
I totally do that LOL
Just an INFJ style. :D
After we finish talking there is almost always (I think. ...I mean, in my case maybe(?)) this moment when you stare in complete silence the other person, pondering if the percentage of what you just said that they understood is about 15% or 20% this time. And you can literally see either a blank face like you broke them or the gearwheels of their brain moving.
What’s a total INFJ thing to say?
“You know what I’m saying”?
Connie Collims & it’s not a conversation filler lol we actually really are checking if the person(s) understands what the heck we are talking about hahaha
Ya.
Or " Are you hip to my lingo"
😂
This is so true
Oh come on why is this so true
"you know what I mean" - totally me, all the time
Ah fuck, when I was 12, I would always think about my life 20 years in the future. Then people would ask how I'm so mature for my age.
Living in the future is definitely a really bad habit, but everything is so much nicer there...

I love that you said reunite and not just unite. That is that infj intuition speaking.
So true, was thinking the same thing.
Exactly!!! ^_^
Ikr I finally feel understood
Its funny because infj's can understand themselves so much that we dont need this video for help but stress relief XD
Lol I play these at 1.75 speed because "I know" but it's stress relief because I can hear someone else narrate my thoughts instead of doing it myself. And I learn smtg too 😂
Ikr. We are normal 😂
Lol we cant understand ourselves tbh
Its people who don't understand us. Im here to feel comfort.
Confirmations of what I already know...feels good. It's a guilty pleasure!
You INFJ's are awesome. It is a pleasure to go through the comment section. So much self awareness and mental clarity.
A lot of love and respect from an ENTP 🙏
Unrelateable but relateable
but sometimes I wish I wasn't relating to this INFJ club sometimes :p
Actually it's not that easy. If an infj doesn't know he's infj he's gonna feel reeeeeally wrong about a LOT of stuff, so you reach mental clarity after a lot of self studying (just explaining a little). But whenever he gets there, it's the way you said, and it's a cool/weird experience to live
Can we have our privacy lol
@@rslhruaizela1955 No
@@rslhruaizela1955 honestly lol this is where infjs meet up, we’re constantly learning and it’s the one time we close to focus on learning about ourselves
"Try not to think about 10 years from now" - wow, thats already giving me anxiety
Anyone of you ever feel like you can see your decisions and emotions from an objective, 3rd person perspective?
And then judge yourself based on it.
In other words, I'm talking about an insane level of self-awareness.
Anyone? :p
One of the side effects is an inability to take part in most normal human activities without feeling ridiculous or guilty or immobilized by self awareness. Watching myself watching myself etc... What would an alien from a different planet or dimension think of the activity? Why are we doing this? When did the activity first get started? So many questions to think about. I can't just do something! I have to understand everything about it and decide if it's actually something worth doing or is it hurting someone or something? Is it beautiful or destructive.
Another side effect is referring to other people and myself as human beings and disassociating my consciousness from my physical reality.
How about you?
I try to do that as a way of counselling myself, but sometimes I do it to judge myself :\
Big time
Yep
Yeees!
I feel like I'm always fighting against my long-term forecasting.
Also, "I think INFJs generally don't like dating. They don't like this search." We really don't.
sad but true
Do you ever find it useful though? I think I can learn much on a date. Such as whether I want a 2nd or not. I'm not trying to sound like a snob or anything like it.
That's why I totally believe in the Importance of the "Kind" of date we spend our time with.,Does that make sense?
@@FrankJames Sometimes yes, sometimes Nope! What's your idea of a cool kind of date?
Yes, I agree the Search can sometimes suck but oooooooh the planting and growing can sure be delicious!!!!
@@wingwaves940 Dating can be useful, for sure. Kind of like getting out and talking to people can be useful (and good for me). But both wear me out big time, even when I'm having a good time. And for me, I've never really been one who sees dating as an end in itself, but a means to getting to what I really want: a long-term, deep, and committed relationship. Thankfully, that's where I'm at now, but I remember dating (and don't miss it at all).
YES. I've delayed pursuing a Master's in Mental Health Counseling due to the economic / time commitment anxiety. I KNOW this is the career I should pursue, but the worry literally keeps me up every night. I try to be rational, "people do this program all of the time," but I seem to perpetually scare myself away from it.
In my opinions, most of INFJ ws a genius, and Intelligent. They don't care small little things, they think further.
It would be interesting for me to meet another INFJ face to face and have a conversation just to see what that feels like.
Omg yes!
Well someone that can actually understand you , can understand why you seem to know a person simple by look at that person and ecc.. Trust me I happened to meet one of my two best friend that is a INFJ like me and it's like sharing a telepath friendship XD , bye ^-^
True! I would like to meet one as a friend but just like you are saying being two INFJs in a relationship might be a bit overwhelming.
I can barely handle myself when I’m in “philosophical” mode 🤪
Me too. I'm looking for one, i'm the only INFJ-INFP among my peers.
Me too, i am searching for one. Anyone?
People constantly tell me their deepest secrets or share things they've never shared before AS SOON AS they meet me. I'm waiting for the day I hear, "And now I have to kill you because I told you."
Deep.
Exactly
This is exactly I'm waiting for
God damn
its kinda weird, like they tell you upfront right after they meet you with the lines of "I've never told anybody this lol" and you wonder if you're special or they're trying to make you feel special but no, they've told 15 other people this just like how they met you.
@@vminisfuckingreal998 sometimes that's the case but often times I get to know these people long term and nobody knows their secret. Some examples are: a previous marriage, having a blackbelt, closet homosexuality, a child at home (everyone at work thinks she has no kids), being extremely wealthy, etc.
Maybe they sense that I feel it's silly to judge one's character on these things and that I'd gain nothing from sharing their information.
“They absorb other people’s emotions.”
So this is why I start crying when my friends or family are crying...
I am INFP and I used to cry when my sister cried when I was a toddler
CaroSam Chwa, I just subscribed to you. 😊 Hope that's ok. I Love your profile photo, it's Precious!
CaroSam Chwa, I can also relate to your empath tendency. That's me too. A friend a few years ago told me what an Empath is. We're all at different levels of sensitivity, but More sensitive than Most people.
( I'm pretty sure we're blessed with a nice intuition about others too--we can read a lot about them just by their body language, tone of voice, behavior, etc.) I feel lucky to be more intuitive, but not always being an empath. Oh well, we feel more, we notice more, and are more compassionate. I'd rather be all of these than not. Hope you are doing great btw. I just found this channel--and I Love it. Sooo informative. He is so intelligent. Refreshing to find.
i hate it because it makes me look vulnerable. but again, i want to understand other people because there are times where they see everybody not understanding what they feel
To be fair, this applies to a lot of people (especially women).
As an INFJ progresses both academically, esoterically, and psychologically makes us pretty much independent and capable of anything given the right time and effort. So we end up cleaning up our own mess.
Does anyone get where you feel like you KNOW whether you'll click with someone or feel comfortable/safe with them within minutes of meeting them? I've done this my whole life. If I don't feel comfortable, I automatically hide many aspects of myself behind a wall as I feel they won't get me.
Mary Davis All the time! :)
@@cinderling5472 Cool! :D
Yep. I usually know instinctively whether someone is “safe”. For many years I ignored my instincts; thinking I was so damaged that I wasn’t being rational about others. That has resulted in some traumatic relationships. Being reserved is not a bad thing. I could take a page out of your book. I tend to over-share when I’m uncomfortable. That can be annoying to others and it definitely results in more anxiety for me. Finding balance can be difficult!
Yes!!!
Yes yes yes, all of the time. When I interview clients for the first time, I just "know" whether it's going to work out or not.
The thing I hate most about being an INFJ is being so self-aware. Being so hyper aware of how you could be perceived or how you sound is so draining. It feels like everytime I interact with people I have to orchestrate how I present myself or even as I’m talking I’m aware of how (insert negative association) I’m being and feel so uncomfortable about it afterwards

I wish I had found out I was an INFJ when I was young, and had all these great videos , It would have been nice to know I wasn't alone.
Yes! This is the worst, I think about if I am walking normally or if my posture looks okay. In groups of people I never know what to do with my hands.
Nobody has ever criticized me on any of this, but people have said I walk very upright lol
Wow! Same though.
@@AA123TD I do this often(feel the exact body function in distress)and even pick up on others illnesses. I feel their physical pain and mental strain.
Anyone else becomes EXTREMELY irritated when people change their minds last minute? Like even if it's something stupid
Or people who consistently arrive late! Grrrrr!
YES. I was just talking about this with my mom the other day. I always say "probably" when asked if I can do something because I don't ever break plans willingly. I sometimes say yes when I'm positive I won't back out. So, when others say that they can do something but eventually say that they can't or that something is true that they didn't actually look into, it bothers my brain!
Yep, it’s definitely an INFJ thing. We like controlling everything and creating a plan in mind so when we have to change our plans last minute it is really irritating.
YES ! It fucken makes me so angry. My bf is that kind of "I change my mind in the last minute" not punctual guy. Takes me so much nerve and patience to deal with it lol, but I love him too much. He knows I get angry and is also patient with my so 50 50 lol I still hate that shit though lol
@@ivonnecaradenacho3726 That's how true love works. Good for you, compromise and communication.
since this guy's INFJ, I know that he cares about authenticity in his discussions. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
I get you. Watching his videos feels like having a deep convo with someone who finally understands you. It's amazing.
that's a very INFJ thing for you to say hahahahahah
WE HEAR YOU 🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😂😂😂
I am so empathic that I am confused what my real personality since I change depends on whom I'm with
Yeah it sucks
I believe we are all chameleons when it's necessary. But it is also exhausting, so re charge, learn from your mistakes and keep putting one foot in front of the other. You are the smartest person in the room, whether you went to college, got a Phd. or not, Your intuition will always be your compass and a good one it is.
Snap ..so pissed off with it at the moment..its like being everyone
We are a chameleons...
We are diverse
It's Your Girl FJ 😂
i know right??? xD
Best make up tutorials on the tube 💅🏻💄👛
Good to know I'm not the only one who notice that 😂😂😂
I so loved that, it bothers me endlessly that the default is always male!!
Lol
I don't know if this is necessarily an INFJ thing or 'secret', but I recently noticed that if there is someone I am interested in, I will start to behave differently depending on what I think will draw that person's attention to me. This way, I try to get this person to come up to me instead. I wouldn't say my behaviour is necessarily 'fake' though; I am just channeling a part of me that may sometimes not be in the foreground. For example, if a person is very logical-minded, I will draw on my more logical side as well to get them to focus on me in a group. Once I've got them one on one, I will show them more of my other sides too, which will then hopefully come as a pleasant surprise and leaves them intrigued.
I don't know if you would consider this manipulation, but it's the only strategy that often works in which I don't have to boldly go up to someone that I am interested in. Anyone else here who does this?
I don't think that's manipulation because like you said you are drawing on one facet of you and not only that, ultimately. Sounds like a natural way of going about things.
@@nashiPAGE sounds more "tactful" to me. Manipulation seems like using or trying to alter people as you would objects. Tactful is more like "what's the best way?"
Yup! I do it too-unconsciously actually. I'm imagining it's a part of our "chameleon-like" superpowers🤗
@@AudaciousErin82Baby I also noticed this! It's a cool part of our personality :D
Great observation :D
I'll straight out say this to you INFJs: I think you are awesome! You heal up people left and right, and whatever your past relationships were (plz forgive my grammar), you and the people's life you'd touch are an invaluable life experiences bad or good. Be grateful for it that it refines all us to be the best version you could strive. Every heartfelt connection you feel is a soulmate (fated), until you find 'The One' unexpectedly creep up on you. Don't give up on life and living! Thank you for living ❤️
I’m an infj and I agree with a lot of these things, I feel weird having this intuition when I know certain situations are bad and certain people are bad. I only have 2 friends and I’ve known this people for years. I also don’t like loud environments and loud people give me anxiety. I am very aware of my ego and when I catch myself judging people for no reason and sit my self down and ask who am I to judge them. I love listening to people and giving them advice. I also feel like one of the reasons why I’m in this world is to help and change people’s lives. I don’t feel like I fit in anywhere and I don’t like to show who I am to people I don’t know. I also would like to stop holding myself back from doing fun things and being myself completely because I label myself as an “introvert” and introverts are supposed to be shy and quiet and pretend they’re invisible, but I would love to be careless sometimes and live life to the fullest. I could go on and on but I also don’t want to waste anyone’s time...
Then go on! I was reading and you stopped! Give me additional *deets* yyyyeeesssssss
Same time well spent too.
So relatable! And you're not wasting someones time. We are free individuals who can decide whether we want to read more or not and there sure are many who would be willing to read what else you have to say.
@@voices4dayz469 thank you! ♥️ People like you really inspire me to keep writing and give me hope to become a book writer one day.
@@nemoforvermore8085 thank you! This means the world to me as I would love to become a book writer, I just don't have the confidence to do so but people like you give me hope that someone would actually like to read what I have to say and this little bit of reassurance is what keeps my dream alive♥️
I just learned how to be "selfish" and it helps me A LOT
It's actually best thing to be Happy in this net world...i.e.being selfish
How? :(
But how?doesn't it make you have less relationships?I mean I thought about it and realized if I want a relationship with both give and takes at the same amount...I mean is that even possible?can there be someone who cares about you just as much as you care about them?or do they care more AFTER you become more selfish?
Sorry for my bad english and sorry for talking alot...I just suddenly felt like I should write these...
@@ginnybaudelaire8177 yes, in relationship we need to give and take. There is no way a one side relationship. But sometimes as an introverted person with "too much" care for others makes me feel bad and I feel like everyone trying to hurt me. I try to be more selfish and think about what will affect me before I try to help or be kind to other people. If the person is truly care for u I bet he/she will try their best not to hurt you 😊
I had a friend teach me a few years ago that “”No” is a complete sentence.” I really liked that and it has helped me a lot in setting boundaries
Not sure if its just me as an INFJ or other INFJ's but I tend to exaggerate the truth to make people happy and comfortable.
That's the Fe overriding the Ti. ENFJs have a bigger problem with this.
@@idar3703 Holy yes
Yep. I spoil them, according to my son.
What do you mean by this? I'm also INFJ and curious. I do like to tell the truth but I'm not sure if I'm exaggerating it in the first place haha
@@russelalmanzor4056 for example... when someone is telling me how they feel about something, I will lie about my own experiences with a similar situation, so they feel like I understand them...
Do infj's loss interest easily, because I do and it's driving me crazy.
Oh gosh YES
This is my whole life
YES. Holy crap. I have an example...
I've been doing langauge learning as a hobby for... almost 2 years now (since Nov. 2019), which is hilarious in itself because I already know I'm going to hesitate to actually use it with people in conversation. Not only that, but I've tried about 20 langauges AND CONSTANTLY switch which one is the "main" focus because I kept losing interest. And not only that, but feeling the need for some reason to remember the history of what I was interested in for some reason.
Literally, in under 2 years, my interest died THIS many times-- my main focus went from Russian to Spanish to Romanian to Swedish to Spanish again (stayed here for a few months) and Japanese to Korean to Spanish again to Vietnamese and back to Spanish then Russian again then German then Spanish AGAIN to Korean to... you guessed it, Spanish, Russian, and Spanish again (for a few months), to Japanese again (stayed here for a few months), then suddenly it was Spanish, German, Korean, and Mandarin all at once (this is now May 2021, and Japanese died for some reason), then German and Mandarin died out, then suddenly I got interested in Japanese again, which suddenly took over everything else, making my interest in Korean die, and Spanish barely hanging on, then after a couple of months, Spanish made a comeback for no longer than a week before I got frustrated and got into the current situation for the past couple of weeks where I practically juggle Spanish, Japanese... and Swedish made a comeback again.
That wasn't even all of the languages. There's a bunch that weren't listed because they lasted not even half a week before I lost interest.
My interest in certain types of music/TH-cam videos is somehow even more complicated than that. Am I the most indecisive person born into Earth?!?!
the more i type the more i realize why im single, my interest in people is this bad too, and SEVERE overthinking
I think like most other stuff it’s a yes and no. If you plan everything on that person the stubbornness comes out but if you struggle to find a plan for that person, you can very easily drop them (maybe even harmfully)
Yeah
the part about dating: FINALLY SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS WHAT I GO THROUGH. my psychologist tells me why i don't date or put myself out there. you got it perfectly. and also, it's sooo scary. sometimes i wonder if I'll die alone and i get sad. then i go back to focus on my career and telling myself thats all i need. so sad lol
pettyanon I do this all the time and then start wondering if something is wrong with me loool 😫😩
I Hope that's going well for you. I don't want to sound too weird, so I'll just quote FJ: Trust yourself. 🐎
I was thinking about getting a baby from a sperm donor, but then again... What if those genes turn out to be bad??? What am I gonna do with a kid from a person I never knew or truly connected to? It's easier to just go back to being a lawyer. I don't want to die alone though.
This comment came and beat down the door where I live. I really like being close to people (like family and a couple friends) but I always put off anything new because I hate the gamble and prefer a career or personal exploration focus where I get very good results. I really need to stop predicting and just try some things out.
My best advice to a younger INFJ would be to learn to become your own soulmate. Learn to hold your own needs (and wants!) with as much care as you do others'. Jesus teaches us to love one another as we love ourselves. "AS", not "MORE!"
Truth spoken
amjPeace thankie
Totally agree!
Love it thank you
Ha! ha! ha! thats so funny,I enjoy laughing thanks! ha! ha! ha! ..
I'm a INFJ and on the part of being intuitive,...I remember being 5 years old and scared that the other kids could read my thoughts and see what I was thinking telepathically,...I felt like an alien from another world. I was picked on badly in school for being so shy and didn't talk much. I was friends with all the misfits who i could relate to and i would stand up for them if they were ever bullied. Your videos have really helped me to better understand myself and I feel less alone in the world.
When I was younger I wanted to have a computer system that could yield answers to my questions I had about other people. I also posed the Q to my mom asking her if she would want to have a download of information to get a skill rather than the work it requires...she asked me what I've been smoking.
Holy shit I had the exact same experience. I thought the same thing
Rebecca, that is truly awesome.
INFJ here and no joke, Im pretty telepathic.
Ditto
It's like you're telling my story!!
I'm 56. I struggle with boundries and meeting my own emotional needs. I'M SO happy that so many young people have these words of wisdom, they are spot on.
Please learn to take care if your own emotional needs. I love that I'm a giving person . Doing kind things, and making people happy makes me happy, but I've never learned to treat myself with the same love and kindness that is so easy to give to others.
So very true and I am experiencing the same still at 63
When I found out I was an INFJ everything made so much sense with how I never felt I could relate to other people and always felt like an outcast. I still always feel like I don’t quite belong here. Why does everyone else have a place when I don’t? It’s something I’ve never quite figured out. One of the biggest things my therapist honed in on for me was to stop thinking about the future. I still can’t bring myself to do a lot of stuff cause I don’t see it going anywhere so I don’t try. I want to be and feel special, but I don’t, and I always wonder what that’s like. It really does feel like I’m on another plane of existence.
I can relate to the feeling of belonging to a place less than other people around me so so much! I guess, you are not alone on this other plane of existence. And you definitely are special even if you don't feel that way
I feel the same way. Everytime I am anywhere I am day dreaming about being somewhere else. I am never content right where I am.
I feel the samee. I just found out ab personality types today, i start researching what INFJ is, and all. And i found so many people that like myself, i'm not feeling like an weirdo with self diagnose.
First i thought im a depressed teenager with multiple personalities :")))
Im so happy to meet you guys
That’s true and relatable. I always thought reaching all my future goals would make me happy, but then another always pops up, and the goal I reached doesn’t bring the satisfaction I initially thought it would. Then I realized that I’m going to waste my life away never feeling satisfied with the place I’m at and always dreaming of the goal in sight. Happiness isn’t in goals or accomplishments or the future. At least for me, it’s about those experiences and true connections with people I actually care about. And doing things that bring me joy, just for myself.
I've felt like this all my life and moved to lots of different countries but never stayed longer than 2 years. Also I've often been told that I'm not normal and should try to change to fit in more. Needless to say that was useless. The feeling of belonging happens when you start finding people similar to yourself.
i think that we can also be possessive and jealous when it comes to our loved ones: we don't get attached easily, but when we do, the attachment is steel strong. we keep our loved ones close to us and guard them jealously.
ace fairy aimei yes!! We don’t get close. So when we select someone. They are special. We get clingy. We guard them. Get overbearing. We need to back off 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰🤓🐥🐙
ace fairy aimei this has totally been my experience. Jealousy is a really hard one to pick apart and is about the only emotion I’ve struggled with my whole life. Getting there though. Understanding on a deep level who my loved ones are and what keeps them healthy and thriving is how I’ve been able to curb my own jealousy towards my chosen ones being with the non chosen ones. Thank you for pointing this out.
Absolutely!
@@KatHood
I love how you said, our "chosen ones"
I couldn't have said it better. Absolutely agree on this.
I just realized; no wonder he's an infj-- he's an INtroverted Frank James

You said it I was just thinking it 😆
Or INtuitive Frank James lmao
😂💗
Oh Fuck that was clever 🔥
Holding my sarcastic comment in.
This why every INFJ needs
an ENFP in there life💜✨
Yes yes we do. ENFPs are the MVP to our INFJ. We love you and need you.
“try some new stuff” really hit me because i’m such a routine person the comfort zone is real with an INFJ but new stuff = constant stress and “what if this doesn’t work/end well”
yess i think this is the reason why i order the same food in the menu
Immediate emotional intimacy: We blab our innermost desires and wishes and dreams. This gives Narcissists & Users the exact details on what to do to play us.
It's not a good thing to do.
So TRUE. Warning: BE CAREFUL of This...Educate yourselves on red flags of Narcissism. You will be SOOOOOOOOOOOOO GLAD YOU DID. *Know Their Traits* so you are AWARE of What to Look for. Because not knowing...well let's just say---you WILL Fall victim to them and they will Manipulate your mind like a damn alien! It's Ugly and you will take Forever to heal from it all. *Stay FAR AWAY from them!*
Mood.
UGH... so true.. I hate that about myself.. I was married 22 years to a narcissist... UGH.... I'm INFJ-T
While true, I can usually spot a narcissist almost immediately, so the couple of instances I've had where I had to deal with one, it's not terribly difficult to flip the tables on them.
I have a friend who is kind of a narcissist but we are kind of close we laugh all the time but i think it must be some extreme narcissist you are talking about 💀 for now i have not met one.
Extroverted feeling is so exhausting.
IKR
I cannot talk to people without wondering what's in their head and I hate it
Exhausting because we're introvert 😔 the stress.
I agree
THAT is soooo true
I cried through this entire video because I never knew myself until now and I feel happier to be able to have more of a grasp on my life I’m a young INFJ having a hard time in life right now... it’s lonely.
Learn to become a self soother and remember to visit your happy place as often as you can… to recharge and reset (contemplate) for yourself.
Don’t push off, find and make it happen. If not now, when? Now. Now is the acceptable time.
"I need to be selfish from time to time". That's so true. It's difficult to just give all the time and feeling not getting enough from others.
But its too hard to be selfish
@@isidoragonzalez23i learned the hard way being selfish is essential. No more giving up myself
I love the INFJ comment sections 😂
Yes pretty good.
Yes. Finally a relateable experience...
R u 1?
I never felt so understood in my life
I'm convinced that all us INFj's have been diagnosed with anxiety disorder or have experienced our fair share. We're constantly worrying about what people think of us, our future, being too ambitious yet indecisive it's exhausting
#3 has caused me to quit jobs. I love to do office work, but I can't survive the gossip, or a debbie downer office mate.
Me too. Now i am experiencing it
Same! I've always said I need an office job, in a corner office far away from others
Maybe in the future don't quit job.
Use your talent to have fun with these squeaker s and sqweelers
It's hilarious when the story gets back and it is so twisted out of shape you have to go to the bathroom before you pee your pants from laughing.
@@sunset9729 unfortunately, sometimes those twisted stories can cause us to lose our jobs or are acts of what I consider terrorism to make one quit.
Oh my gosh, this makes so much sense! I can't stand spending 40 hours a week with people, or an atmosphere, I hate or that bring me down, and that's probably why I move on from jobs quickly. I value my contentment and happiness more than anything else in a job.
you gotta be your own soul mate! the other person is just a bonus. :-)
@retrogradepink YES! Truth is we are All Souls and here we are on a tiny blue dot hurtling through space. All Here, All Mates. I like to think if I don't have what I want, want what I have! Then everything else is chocolate icing on chocolate cake :-) Nummmmmlol!
@@wingwaves940 :-)
I love that!!
Love that!
Sorry, but as an INFJ, that doesn't work for me. I'm old enough now that I completely love myself and have learned to ask my mate when I need some love and cuddles and support. But I cannot be, and would not want to be, happy living alone. We all need support, and trust me, the happiest moments in life are happiest when they are shared. That said, there's no such thing as one soulmate or a perfect soulmate. There are thousands of great matches out there for you. Love yourself first, find what you need to feel confident and stable, then realize you WILL find someone who's worth it.
I think we're good at handling conflict in the sense that- we're good mediators. But it's almost as though when the conflict is directed at us, we struggle. I hope that made sense.
I feel the reason conflict can be so difficult for us maybe because we're feeling our emotions combined with the emotions from the other person? We can easily become overwhelmed and that can be very uncomfortable. I've had arguments where I was visibly shaking and I didn't think they were intense at all definitely not bad enough to make my body have a reaction like that! Being INFJ really is a blessing and a curse, but I wouldn't change it for the world! We are all beautiful souls who love the deepest and strongest. Maybe that's why there are so few of us. It's too bad that unfortunately we're often taken for granted and abused.
@@jennymowery79 I'm kind of just talking to myself here, but this may be why I have a pretty short fuse (I think infj's often do). Because we're escalting our own emotions based on the emotions of someone else, who may or may not be instigating intentionally. And that can just cause escalation in a situation. When we're being targeted, we dont have time to apply the logic based thinking to ourselves like we nornally would (after the fact), and have to deal on an emotional basis. But if the other person is being hostile, it can be hard to mediate that without another side to work off of that you have an idealistic view of and that you may think deserves the tempered mediation. I thinking working on figuring out who you are can help you see yourself as more of a tangible entity to work off of (and actually create distance from in the moment) and kind of use to mediate in a tempered fashion with.
@@jennymowery79 I totally feel that way! I struggle so much with conflict. I am feeling whatever I am feeling towards them - while also feeling whatever their feeling toward myself! It's a wreck. And yes, I will get incredibly shaky and agitated. I don't know what to do with all that energy and emotion. It doesn't have anywhere to go. :( But I appreciate how sensitive I am and how I can see other's perspectives so well!
Yes yes yes!
I like your profile picture! My name is Rachel Naomi (ESTP). :)
About number 10. I feel like the fact that we’re very intuitive we know when a relationship is not going to last or we feel like they don’t really love us or feel like is going to end badly so we just avoid that posible relationship.
My sister is an INFJ and after watching your video I feel so sad. I’ve always felt the need to protect her from the world bc she is unique. Now after watching this if anyone hurts her I might eat their souls and I’m an ENTP btw..
She must be so happy to have you..im proud of you ..💜✨✨
She's so lucky :)
how sweet of you. both of you are sure precious to this world. 🖤
Awee💜 hope my sis too understands me better 😔
as an INFJ, I am near to cry bc of your kindness, hope and wish u live long and happy.
INFJ end up with narcissist around them and that sucks
Karen Etienne ugh my first relationship was with one unfortunately. Still recovering and really need to put myself first. No one else will.
Last year (before I knew I was a INFJ) I had a crush on this guy that was slightly narcissistic, luckily I noticed before anything happened but dude was that weird. And now seeing everyone comment things like this just makes me wonder wtf was going on in my mind. (Hopefully it makes sense)
I was raised by one... Yay
Unfortunately I also fell victem to a narcissist that messed my head up pretty bad. But I had to let all of that go and move on. Now im stronger and even quicker to spot the red flags they drop.
Can you guys explain this in more detail? I'm pretty certain I am super INFJ now, but this is one point I can't relate at all. Why are you attracted to narcissists? What is it about them that you find attractive?
I'm not just taking notes so I can become a narcissist to attract INFJ girls I promise ^_^
FJ: "I feel whatever you're feeling right now. What are you feeling right now?"
Me, an INFJ: "uhh...?"
Exactly hahahaha
right that could cause a feedback loop of nothingness we are gona need a third person here
Same
It’s such a different feeling hearing someone explain your life on such a deeply and profoundly accurate way.
"Hey girl, not cool, but would you like to be my soulmate?" Drag me out on the dance floor, won't ya
I'm totally in hahaha
The second point relates to why I’m ~always~ so interested in reading what others think of books/movies/series I enjoy. Half the fun for me is digging through post after post of opinions and interpretations 😄
Unless there is a ridiculous amount of comments I read nearly every single one and the replies, on a search for every view and hidden nugget of truth.
Bro this is truee
aluckyshot Whoa, me too!! I spend more time reading comments sections than the material/videos themselves. Used to have a Word doc collecting the funniest or most insightful ones I came across 😆
McKenzie Taylor , ikr! I get a vid with comments disabled and im so disappointed.
I've learned to remind myself to live in the "now". I also remind myself, to just ... be.
Yes!
J Milam I’m trying
You have to! He Talks about this---it's sooooo true.
Yes, i am learning to be more present and it's a hard work and exhausting for me. But i keep working on it.
When reading comments made by self declared INFJs I question just how many have actually taken part in the MBPI test or have been declared as an INFJ by a clinical psychologist I doubt it is as many as are claiming to be just because they wish to be part of a rare group of individuals. Your comment about living in the “now” speaks volumes to me. And I wonder how many self professed INFJs even can relate to the “now” and the “inner being” of one’s self and to just “be”. Stay strong and take time for yourself it can’t always be about caring for others that don’t even understand who or what you are. 🙏🏽
About the online dating...
I actually really enjoy looking at different profiles...for no other reason than learning more about different people. I dont really care much for using the app for what it's for, but I find it really interesting to, in a sense, discover more about other human beings😂
Can anyone else relate?
Literally, I'm completely useless on a dating app, but I get a kick out of the stories people share 🤷🏻♀️😂
That's.... what I do...... .......... ..........yeah................
Oh my gosh SAME!! Lol I have done the absolute same thing. And thought to myself “ what a weirdo “ 😂😂
Same 😂 I thought I was the only one.
YES! 100% in the one-sided relationship thing...if you don't watch out for this, it will make you bitter and resentful when you are in your 40s. I am truly envious of anyone who figures out their personality young.
Yes! He certainly hit the bullseye on that! So many get stuck in the narcissistic slow death trap.
Yep yep yep.
I'm bitter and resentful and I'm 16 XD
Albrunelle, man, I wish I knew about this when I was young as well! It explained so much about the conflicts between my Mom & I.. Being a little mini-truther & she, a huge fibber .. What I thought was just correcting an error... Omg I must of humiliated the hell out of her! lol she couldn't just say "shhhh honey, tellin a fib here" that would be admitting to something... Rince and repeat..
I guess being born under the sign of Leo & have 6 planets in that sign, very much balanced out my introvert, in reflection.. I became aware of the test no more than a yr ago...it has opened up a whole new understanding... Im not crazy after all! Lol

Hi fam xo
This was very interesting and hard to believe there is only 4 people with these gifts. I relate and it gave me a place with self. This gave me a reason to be alone. Yes i will say. . love your self
I feel like a lot of people don’t understand how sensitive we can be, like it’s something that I physically take on..
You really nailed it with the explanations
The idealist in the INFJ is what causes that love trouble. The idea in our mind of the perfect soulmate does not exist. If WE can’t even be perfect and we actually have control over that, then HOW can we expect anyone else to be?
It's too hard to believe this concept
Few years ago even few months I though I'm so perfect and i couldn't even understand how could someone be wrong when he is planning everything how can i be wrong when I know it's wrong and i know what is the right thing
I still could not understand this point clearly
We either strive for perfection in every way or end up in a huge slump wondering why we are so crappy and can't meet our expectations
Holy SHIT BOXES! LOL.
*Exaaaaaactlyyy*
He said “meet new people” with the whole looking for our soulmates part and I legit shouted “NO!” with a lonesome tear falling down my cheek 😪

It sometimes sucks being the "Rarest personality type" because sometimes you have no one to relate to
45 year old INFJ here. My whole life ive wondered what was wrong with me. Your spot on with your videos. Thanks, im glad i found you.
It's ok to be our kind of strange!
I really be think there is something wrong with me
Everything’s true... and 10 is on point...I’m always searching for the “click” , it doesn’t even have to be “romantic” ... I just want another person who can totally get me.... because sometimes even my parents, the closest people to me, don’t understand my feelings and responses towards some situations
OoMon Khin yes yeS YES
EXACTLY!!!
When I found out I was an INFJ I asked the most INFJ thing ever.
Why God, WHY?????
I kinda like being an INFJ! it’s like a fun, quirky club.
I ask the same question, too. I feel like it's a curse. 😔
When I found out I was an INFJ my response was ... of Course, it all makes sense now ...
lol I was like well yeah I kind of knew that, but WHY didn't I do something with it that could possibly benefit ME?
Finding out I’m an INFJ at least gave me a point from which I could then begin to orient myself correctly (for me) inside this crazy upside down world which I do NOT easily fit in. Might not be easy, but it IS so worth it. It’s nice to know I’m not just a collection of disorders or something else horrible, which WAS what I thought I was before I learned the MBTI thing. I see it as relief and a blessing💚
That said, when I learned about my INFJ title, I sat on the floor and bawled my eyes out in a flurry of so many good, bad and all the emotions in-between. Then I began RESEARCH🤗
Honestly, I find INFJs really interesting and lovely. At least all the INFJs I've met are great, and I'm amazed by the way they view the world. I can relate to them to a certain point, but I always thought that they have very unique personality traits. I know that being an INFJ without knowing that you are an INFJ can be frustrating, and they might even feel misunderstood; I wish that more INFJs knew their value.
My english is bad, sorry :]
Your written English is better than many native English speakers; no need to apologise 👋🏻
This is why I'm so good at calling plot twist in movies 🙃
Omg, yes. Sometimes it is kind of annoying to know what is going to happen, but other times it's quite funny. I'll often sit there and say something and then it turns out to be the next line :D
Yeahhhh it feels like I've already seen it, and my family are annoyed because I always tell them what will happen next before it happens.
IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. JUST A WHILE AGO WHEN I WAS WATCHING CRIMINAL MINDS
So true. My friends complain to me I spoil the movie cuz it turns out I’m correct almost all the time though we’ve never seen the movie
It is difficult to find a movie that doesn’t seem overtly contrived. I never understand why others don’t see things that are obviously going to happen or what the ending of the movie will be. Big Fish now that was one movie that was delightfully surprising on many levels. Very touching movie as well.
As an INFJ, I´ve sabotaged myself sooo much bc i was trying to make everyone happy, most of my friends take take and take, and im always resolving conflict, but i cant be "selfish" to make sure Im happy....I´ve sabotaged so many relationships bc it felt too good to be true
This hit right in my core :")
My ex friends always always just used me and I knew it..I was the one who always solved their problems or conflicts.Whenever they had hard time or needed help,they seek me for comfort but when the problems are gone,they turned their backs on me.It went on like that for years until they found a new group of friends and completely ignored me..So I finally cut them off my life...
Afterwards,they regretted losing me. I know noone's gonna care for them as much as I did and its their loss.You know what I am saying?
Maybe because infj is boring and not as fun as other personality type.
@@tomu7942 say's Elven
I hate selfishness, even me myself being "selfish" is just absolutely forbidden for me, i don't go there, it's a forbidden rule,, illegal, so completely ignore it,,,,,, I'm not supposed go that way,, a natural rule i set,, tho im 18, i just turned 18, everything is new it feels weird and new,,,, i meant new as in *New New new* it doesn't makes sense and i dont understand it, and its scary,, bc i feel like a, yk a new soul but both an old soul,,
Wtf the more i explain the more my mind goes on static,, static tv scresn
Anyways, I'm going to discord
@@tomu7942 we are much deeper
I feel like I've just been hacked
I’m so glad to hear you say how odd it is to have a complete stranger suddenly tell you something extremely personal.
In my family we jokingly referred to it as ‘the face’. About half of us had it, the other half didn’t. But found what people would freely disclose was often funny, sometimes heartbreaking, and frankly quite confusing.
Having ‘the face’ caused several problems for me growing up. In particular- my own teachers would confide in me far too often.
"If your having trouble finding your Soulmate..its your fault".🥺😢😢😂😂 I laughed and rolled my eyes the whole video at the accuracy lol. We really do have tunnel vision lol we want to be certain that this is it and we just want it to be that over and done with lol we hate being in the dark bc we just know things intuitively and we love when we see things before they happen. Also you are all beautiful people and were all soulmates now.
This is soooooo accurate
I'm scared of the dark so this was just more accurate then it could be hahahah, and you are more amazing:D
sameee
Absorbing other's emotions makes me drained so much energy, I always tired.
Same that’s why I hate socialising and tend to ghost people
You are the ULTIMATE LEGENDARY INFJ COACH!!! Every clip is spot on and so true. Your delivery with the touch of humour (which is hilarious), emphasises the reality check we all need in order to become self aware. God bless you. Thank you❤
I AGREE WITH THIS SO MUCH. MANY BLESSINGS TO HIM FOR SHARING ALL THIS GREAT KNOWLEDGE! (Sorry, I'm not yelling Lol)
This is quite accurate. #10 Thirty six years since my husband left me, no boyfriends in all that time, maybe 3 dates (2 different people) in all that time. I don't feel that I missed out on anything. I learned to be just friends to men, no romantic involvement, and I like them better that way. Do I want a soul mate? Yes, but I am reeeeeeelly cautious about that. Being married is no big deal to me, unless it is to the right person. I've been a lot happier single, with nobody nagging me, no man breaking my heart.

Well.. you did forecast the youtube commercial.

ikr 😂😂😂
As an INFJ I hate it when the natural perceptiveness combines with my social anxiety. It makes an interesting combo.
"He just sighed for the fifth time is he tired or stressed?"
"Well, we have been sitting here for 30 minutes."
"Oh my god, does he hate me?"
"Does he hate me and I've just been missing that?"
jae.grimm that’s me in a relationship ;/
What you talked about regarding the “social games that we know how to play - but we still experience things such as anxiety “ that resonated with me very much. It’s hard to describe or put across to people because it’s almost like being manipulative or pulling some strings without them knowing but it’s in their best interest and to make then feel better! You described it well 👍🏼
INFJ. I remember at one time feeling so depressed because I always felt like what I wanted or needed was less important than that of others. I was always put aside because everyone around me needed more. It got so bad that I completely gave up on myself and declared that what I wanted didn’t even matter anymore.
It was bad.
This is me after an argument or confrontation. I can choose my words so carefully and try to think about everything I say and all the aspects of the conversation. Mess up once in a while where that glitches, sound like I'm being judgmental, putting someone down or dismissive. Immediately panic.....but others get to say things without thinking, say rude shit and apologize and I'm cool with it. I do it a few times it's the end of the world, with or without being called on it and spiral into thinking I'm a monster and I shouldn't share or react to my thoughts or feelings because it just causes me grief. The self image issues are a struggle for me.
Going through it right now. :(
My ex was a completely low level thinker. I literally felt like I had to break away from him with the fury. I could read him like a book, and I hated that I felt so aware of what he was doing behind my back... My empathy kept me tied to the sinking ship. I could not see the future around him because the man has no dreams. It was a very one sided relationship. I cut the cord and threw away the key. It damn near killed me to stay, and killed me to leave. Perfect doesn’t exist, but my last few relationships have been so far off the mark, it’s unbelievable that people can be this Narcissistic.
I also find that I need a partner that is also striving for their goals and always setting new ones. If not, we end up being pinned down by them and run in an orbit around their rock-being ass.
I. KNOW! NOW, infj s are a narcissist s preferred target. just now learning at 64!
60 years old, married to a narc for 26 years. @Shadow Veil; glad you got away, lady! Me too. It was bad and he was oblivious to the whole process that I had in place so fast when he got served. I already moved out, the 2 adult children were in college and I was gone girl. Did a couple of relationships after the divorce and they were all narcs, so now I am happy to be alone with my thoughts and doing my life my way, relationships are too much work. Sex just isn't that important anymore.
Not sure if they are narcissistic or they just realize that they can step on you and get away with stuff. A lot of people who are not narcissistic would do that
This is sooo relatable. I've been in a couple relationships without really knowing myself and both were very one-sided. Now I'm looking for my true match by listening to my intuition first and foremost... If they make me feel comfortable, then that's a good sign
Just an INTP passing through, getting more information. Don't mind me
shhh. don't give us intps away!
Yeah I reckon 😜
😂😂😂
Hahah
Howdy 👋
OMG THE ONE SIDED RELATIONSHIP HURT. That was so accurate to the point where I was waaaaay to called out 😂
The soulmate one killed me in the other way. I love his example 😂
I feel like a chameleon sometimes around people. I fold or mutate into their sphere. Sometimes I try to "imitate" what being "normal" is like. Lol The words coming out of my mouth are not the words in my head. "No one is more important than the person next to me." I LOVE when people talk about their feelings, so I don't have to talk about mine. 😊
Why am I constantly nodding in agreement to every second of this video 🤣
Hahah sameee
I like your explanation because you always remind us that 'Hey, INFJ is like this but so is everyone else'. Like the fact that INFJ is in different wavelength but so is everyone or INFJ picks up people's emotion but non-INFJ out there can also do the same.
Those are not superpowers possessed by INFJ only.
