With a confusing personality and a deep curiosity to figure themselves out, the INFJ is constantly
analysing themselves from different perspectives. Spending so much time reflecting in their inner
minds, this intuitive type is not only their own biggest critic, but also their own support system.
So.. what do INFJs really think about themselves? Are Most INFJs happy with who they are?
Welcome or welcome back psychos! Today’s video is about exactly that,
all the things most INFJs have thought about themselves at one point or another!

Alright, lets jump right into it starting with: Number 1: They’re Confusing
INFJs are confusing.. And not only to the people around them. In fact, nobody is as
confused about an INFJ’s thinking patterns and emotional state as the INFJ themselves. While
they seem to have it all organized and figured out from the outside looking in,
most INFJs are seriously confused with themselves. They usually have a better understanding of what
they don’t want in comparison to knowing what they do want in life, and because of that INFJs
can face a host of confusions. Although they ask themselves all the introspective life questions,
sometimes, INFJs still don’t really know if where they are in life is where they need to be, or
if who they’re with is who they’re supposed to be with. They tend to have a lot more
questions than answers circulating in their heads at any given moment,
and because of that, most INFJs think of themselves as pretty confusing people.
Number 2: They Feel Superior
If you’re an INFJ yourself, you’ve probably thought at one point or another “am I really
smart or are people just really mindless.” It’s not necessarily an egotistical point of view,
but rather a disappointment for the lack of knowledge others have..or more particularly,
choose not to learn. And although they of course have the best of intentions for humanity,
they can't help but to feel like some people they come across could learn a thing or two.
Whether it’s a general lack of common sense, or a shortfall of human kindness,
INFJs find themselves unable to wrap their heads around why some people do the things they do.
Not to mention.. Being guided by introverted intuition is like having an inner compass in
life, and that alone can make INFJs feel like they have a one up on most people.
However, they would of course never admit this out loud.
Number 3: They’re Born In The Wrong Era
Wrong era, wrong planet, even born into the wrong family.. Every INFJ can relate to this feeling of
belonging elsewhere, and it’s not always just theoretical. Besides the fact that this unique
type is so familiar with feeling misunderstood or unfit for their environment, some INFJs truly
believe they could be considered a starseed, or a being originating from another galaxy,
but of course, most of them wouldn’t admit this thought out loud. It’s fair to say that most INFJs
are considered old souls, and tend to get along much better with people who are older than them.
These simple feelings day-to-day can certainly prompt an INFJ to think there must be somewhere
they belong that’s not here.. Maybe even to the point of non-existence being their preferred
state, in the least morbid way possible. Number 4: They Could Be Psychic
Speaking of other-worldly sources, the INFJ is said to be one of the most intuitively
accurate types of all 16. The accuracy and specifics of their intuitive findings
can seriously shock others, to the point of other people thinking they could possibly
have psychic abilities. And although people with this personality type eventually get
used to their uncanny forecasting skills, they can’t help but to question the same thing.. “Do
I have psychic abilities or is this really just a function of personality type?” or,
“Is this a calling that I should be taking more seriously”.. The power and guidance
they receive is almost hard to believe for the INFJ at times, and even once they’ve
gotten used to recognizing their predicting potential, INFJs are still amazed every time.
Number 5: They Understand Others More Than They’re Understood
Most mature INFJs reach a point in life where they finally realize that other
people don’t care to understand them as deeply as they desire to understand other people.
It’s not an easy realization, but it’s certainly a necessary one.. especially
when it comes to avoiding unnecessary self doubt and misunderstandings. And, it’s not that the INFJ
thinks they’re better than others because of the way they crave deep understanding of people,
but instead the complete opposite. In fact, this can bring about the self-image of being
overly interested, too empathetic, too caring, and even over-bearing in some relationships.
INFJs can overlook their naturally curious and empathetic nature that draws them to
that deeper understanding, leaving them thinking they just must care too much.
Number 6: They’re Seriously Funny
It takes a certain type of person to really appreciate the INFJ’s dark sense of humor..
One of those people being none other than the INFJ themselves. Sure, their chosen sense of
joking material may cause a room to go quiet, but because of their deep understanding of the
world around them, the INFJ can appreciate the humorous connections their intuition makes.
Not only does an INFJ eventually come to appreciate their own sense of humour,
but they may even find themselves chuckling alone in reaction to imaginated or hypothetical
scenarios. With no one else but themselves to fully understand, only INFJs will truly
know how funny they really are.. And it’s something they think to themselves often.
Number 7: They’re Too Uptight
It’s fair to say that most INFJs are constantly trying to find the balance between controlling
their environment and just enjoying the ride. They may have times of throwing their hands up and
letting their hair down, but they almost always come back to the comfort they find in controlled
environments. Because of this, almost every INFJ has said to themselves ‘just let loose already’!
Whether it has to do with a social interaction, a leap of faith, or a spontaneous adventure..
Sometimes INFJs need to remind themselves to stop being so fixated on sticking to the plan
or creating a perfect outcome. In fact, a great example of this is in relation to the INFJ’s
love for creating. While they love to detach from their perfectionistic ways, sometimes this uptight
nature can get in the way of the much needed escape that a simple creative outlet can provide.
Number 8: They’ve Questioned Why It’s So Difficult To Express Their Thoughts Verbally
“Just spit it out already!” Sound familiar, INFJs? It’s the inner voice in the back of your head
convincing you that trying to express yourself through words is only making matters worse.
Every INFJ has thought this about themselves at least once in their life.
Sure.. us humans can’t always get our words out as efficiently as we’d like but for the INFJ,
finding the appropriate words to use can be even more difficult. Like we previously mentioned,
the depth to their understanding can be unexplainable, especially when put on the spot.
Because INFJs can get so caught up in outer details and observations, it’s as if their
minds go MIA when it comes to giving some insight into their complex thought processes.
Number 9: They Have a Good Head On Their Shoulders
Through all the self-criticism and self-deprecation an INFJ battle with
on a daily basis, most people with this rare type wouldn’t change it if they had the chance.
That’s because, overall, INFJs mostly think they have a good head on their shoulders, especially
in comparison to some of the people they observe. They strive hard to achieve a balance of head and
heart in all aspects of life, and because of that, they can see more than anyone else can,
the good intentions they have for themselves. In fact this self-realization isn’t just about a pat
on the back, but instead, it serves as the idea to fall back on when they’re being particularly hard
on themselves. It’s the positive words that pop up to save an INFJ from tearing themselves apart.
Number 10: They’re perceptive
Intelligence is one thing.. But for the INFJ, it goes far beyond general intellect. INFJs are
naturally perceptive, and luckily most people with this type think this about themselves.
It’s not about education, their ability to pass tests or their willingness to learn
uninterting material, but instead, the ability to see the bigger picture.
INFJs don’t just pick apart situations and people in order to figure them out from all perspectives,
but they also have a keen ability of seeing how everything ties into each other as a
whole. Whether it has to do with relationships, family life or career, they’re insightfulness and
ability to see the things that most people overlook is something that they recognize
within themselves. And so, most INFJs come to the conclusion that their emotional intelligence and
analytical mind is what serves them the perception they use on a daily basis.
