At the end of the day, all of us are searching for happiness, right? It could be on a larger
scale or in small things but we spend our life looking for the things that make us happy.
And sometimes, it can get really hard when you feel like the World doesn’t understand
you. In fact, that’s pretty true for INFJs.
We all know that INFJs are one of the rarest personality types to exist. And that’s
why, very often, they feel misunderstood. And that can end up making them unhappy
or depressed. Which can make it harder and harder for them to find peace and
happiness in life. A lot of times, INFJs don’t even know how they can ever find
true happiness.
But of course, nothing is impossible, right? That's why today, I’m talking about 9 things
that are a way for an INFJ to find true happiness.
So, if you’re an INFJ, make sure to stay tuned in till the end. But even if you’re
not an INFJ, you are going to want to watch this video
because trust me, your INFJ friends want nothing more but to be understood. And this video
will help you do just that.

Starting things off today and number 9 is INFJs Need to Find an outlet for their insights
For INFJs, their most dominant cognitive function is Introverted Intuition. That
means they’re pretty great at understanding human nature, a lot better than almost any
other personality type. Usually, they can predict
what people will do and they understand what is going on behind the scenes during
any situation. That might seem like a good thing but many
times, it makes them question their sanity. Because they see and understand things that
other people don’t. That’s actually one of
the main reasons INFJs feel so misunderstood by society. That’s why one major step
towards their happiness is finding an outlet to let out these predictions and insights.
Many INFJs find this outlet in writing, leadership, or counseling. Basically, any way they
can let out their insights and help educate other people at the same time is a way for
them to find happiness.
Next up and number 8 today Finding an outlet for their creativity
Sure, writing gives INFJs an outlet for their insights. But it also helps them in another
way. And this is by giving an outlet for their creativity. INFJs are not just insightful
but they’re actually really creative people
as well. And most of their creativity comes from
metaphors and symbolism. That means they can be incredible writers, musicians, and
poets. A lot of the time, they feel like conversations with people aren’t enough to let out
their deep ideas, feelings, and their creativity. Again, that becomes one reason for them to
be unhappy. But once an INFJ finds an outlet to let their creativity out, it typically
ends up becoming a path to happiness.
Number 7 on our list of things for true INFJ happiness is Having someone they can have
meaningful conversations with
Another one of the cognitive functions possessed by INFJs includes Introverted
Thinking. Sure, that means they’re usually quiet but don’t let that fool you. This
function also means that they look for the right material.
What does the right material mean? That means they look for conversations that
actually interest them. You won’t see an INFJ enjoy any normal conversation
but there are specific topics that can interest them a bit too much. And the thing
they enjoy diving into is your inner World. They want to learn about you. They want to
hear your secret thoughts. They want to know the thoughts you’re too afraid to say
out loud. INFJs want to know how you’re actually feeling and want to discuss personal
topics. Because they want to understand every person. INFJs want to understand what
makes people who they are and understand every single complication a person
has. And no, don’t worry, when it comes to an
INFJ, they will never use this information or
your vulnerabilities against you. It’s just that they find joy in helping other people
understand their emotions. They enjoy giving advice and just helping people somehow.
INFJs are not a fan of small, boring conversation but when it comes to meaningful
conversation, it’s something they can’t live without!
Number 6 today and next up on our list is Being able to understand themselves
When it comes to understanding human nature and emotions, it’s not only other people
that INFJs want to understand. They also want to understand their own self. From a
very young age, INFJs have a yearning to understand humans on a deep level and of
course, how can you understand other people when you can’t even understand your
own self, right? INFJs spend time and try to understand what
they like and who they are. They might even end up jumping from one career to the
next just so they can find out what makes them happy. And sometimes, they can even get
into relationships with people that are nothing like them just to understand themselves
better. From the time they’re born, INFJs are on
the path to understanding themselves and it can take
time but it’s very important for them. Many INFJs turn to journals, travel, and art to
understand themselves better. And once that happens, it also becomes a way for them
to feel less unhappy.

Number 5 today on our list of things INFJs need for happiness is Getting some alone time
Okay, don’t get this one wrong. It’s not like INFJs are introverts that ALWAYS enjoy
being alone. That’s definitely not the case. But
sometimes, they just want to relax and withdraw themselves from everyone else. If
you have an INFJ friend or partner, you’ll notice sometimes, they just disappear or stop
talking. And you might even think you did something wrong. But that’s not necessarily
true. For INFJs, their alone time is a necessity.
It’s as nourishing for them as food or water. They enjoy interacting with people but sometimes,
they just need to get away from the chaos of the World and just focus on themselves
and their thoughts. And if you’re an INFJ, trust me, you need to give yourself
some alone time. Without it, you’ll just feel
drained or frustrated.
Next up and number 4 today is INFJs want to be supported by people around them
Considering INFJs are totally obsessed with understanding everyone, it’s just normal
that they themselves want to be understood too, right? That’s exactly the case for
INFJs. They crave to be understood by people they have close relationships with. At the
end of the day, what they really need is to be supported by people. They’re usually
very different from other people. I mean, they
ask too many questions. They want to understand the World. And the next second,
they just want to be alone. With all of that, even INFJs can be pretty
confused with themselves. One thing they really need is at least for the people
around them to support them. So, if you’re not
an INFJ but an INFJ tells you they’re stressed or sad or exhausted, take some time and try
to understand what they’re going through. Even if it doesn’t seem like a big issue
to you. In a life of being misunderstood, all INFJs
really want is some support so give that to them as much as you can.
Starting our top 3 today is INFJS want to Live in an orderly environment
Another thing INFJs need is to have an organized environment. I mean, not to the
extent that they need to alphabetize their bookshelves or organize their socks by color
in their drawer. I mean, they tend not to focus on very tiny details but they do need
to be in an orderly and organized place. There's already plenty of clutter in their busy
Minds soThey don’t want their surroundings to add to it. That’s why most INFJs tend
to find peace and comfort in minimalist environments.
In the runner up spot and number 2, today is Having at least one person that understands
them
Like I said earlier, INFJs want to be understood and supported. But even if everyone
can’t give them that, they do understand. They understand that they’re very complex
people and not everyone can understand how their brain functions. I mean, sometimes,
even THEY don’t understand how their brain functions. But INFJs need at least one
person in their life who actually gets them and who’s there for them. Or at least, they
need someone who puts in the effort to try and understand them. Especially if an INFJ
has let someone in their very private inner circle, they need them to be open and understanding
of who they are, what they want, and what makes them happy.
Topping our list and the number 1 thing INFJs need for happiness is Having their life planned
out
INFJs tend to be future-oriented and they like to plan things in
advance. No, they don’t want an exact minute-to-minute plan of their whole day but they
do like to have an idea of what’s coming in the future. And usually, planning things
out and reaching those goals brings a lot of happiness
for INFJs.
Of course, all of these things might not take an INFJ to happy land right away but they
are a great place to start and I’m sure these can help any INFJ on their path to find
true happiness.
