People who have always felt like outsiders or oddballs may find their personality type,
and years of uncertainty and frustration may seem to go away.
INFJs are particularly sensitive to this relief.
Because INFJs make up such a small percentage of the population, finding like-minded acquaintances
and confidants can be exceptionally tough.
The INFJ is the most uncommon personality type, accounting for less than 3% of the population.
Those unfamiliar with the INFJ personality types may perceive them as a mysterious type
full of contradictions — emotional yet rational, reserved yet accommodating, and structured
yet open-minded.
They're shrouded in mystery and conceal secrets that aren't easily revealed.
Each INFJ is unique, and they all have characteristics that distinguish them.
This makes them one of the most intriguing and enjoyable people to get to know.
With that said, let's discuss the different secrets the INFJ possesses.
Here are eight secrets the INFJ hides from the world.

They can predict future outcomes
INFJs are dominant Introverted Intuitives.
This means that they piece together all of the information they gather into a "vision"
or foresight into what will happen in the future.
This insight usually appears out of nowhere in a flash of realization and clarity.
All of this may appear magical and enigmatic, yet there is science behind it.
INFJs are strategic, innovative, and secretive because of their capacity to see into the
future.
Patterns, symbols, techniques, and future consequences are all visible to INFJs.
It may appear that they are "psychic" since they are continuously in this mental state,
but it is simply the way they are accustomed to seeing the world and perceiving the data
around them.
INFJs have a keen sense of the future and are constantly on the lookout for situations
or occurrences that may alter or change future events.
They may want to keep this as a secret because they don't want people to think they're just
making assumptions especially when they know the outcome would be bad.
They see two or more personas in everyone
The ability to perceive hidden motives is one of the lesser-known qualities of Introverted
Intuition.
INFJs are quick to pick up on other people's intentions and underlying aims since they
are Ni-dominant.
Complexity attracts INFJs, and they rarely take anything at face value.
As a result, they are naturally interested in other people's underlying motives and purposes,
and they are constantly attempting to "peel away the layers" of someone's personality
type in order to discover their essential purpose, desires, and truth.
While INFJs are aware of others' exterior personas and surface-level interactions, they
are more interested in what goes on behind the scenes.
They are constantly attempting to decipher the deeper meanings behind what people say
and do.
They typically have a sense of how other people are feeling, even if they are attempting to
hide their feelings.
They may appear extraverted but are not
You might have a friend or family member who seems to be an extrovert and the life of the
party when they’re actually an INFJ all along.
INFJs care deeply about managing morale and ensuring that everyone feels welcome and at
ease in their company.
They desire to keep the peace in whatever social setting they're in, and they'll go
to tremendous lengths to make sure everyone's emotional needs are addressed.
As a result, they appear to be far more socially outgoing than they actually are.
They may speak up when there are awkward silences or use comedy to defuse stressful situations.
They tend to approach those who they believe have been left out and make them feel welcome.
Many INFJs will make fun of themselves or use self-deprecating humor to ease tension
in a room or to assist someone who is shy or uncomfortable.
While INFJs can appear extraverted in social situations, they require a lot of alone time
and become weary faster than many other introverts.
This is largely due to the fact that they can become so preoccupied with preserving
the morale of others that they lose sight of their own needs.
They are moody
INFJs know when to put their best foot forward, while they're often swayed by how they're
feeling at the time.
INFJs may appear placid on the outside, but they're a bundle of powerful emotions on the
inside.
When something bothers them, it's usually obvious, but that doesn't guarantee they'll
want to talk about it.
INFJs have a tendency to push others away and throw pity parties.
Of course, they'd prefer someone to confide in, but they typically believe that even if
they did, most people wouldn't understand them.
INFJs, like everyone else, can be perplexed by their moods at times.
INFJs, like other introverted personalities, require alone time to sort through their emotions
and comprehend why they feel the way they do.
If an INFJ does share their feelings with you, they may even apologize for doing so.
This is because they frequently keep things to themselves in order to relieve you of the
load.
Allowing an INFJ to talk about anything if they need to is the finest thing you can do
for them.
Just being able to voice their sentiments and concerns makes INFJs feel better.
They have insomnia
Although they don't like showing people when they're tired, Insomnia seems to be a typical
occurrence for introverts, particularly INFJs, and Highly sensitive people (HSP).
Because their inner minds are packed with so many complicated thoughts flowing around
at once, INFJs typically have problems sleeping.
This can include them having doubts and feeling terrible about things they believe they have
failed to do.
Because INFJs are notoriously hard on themselves, these thoughts and feelings might keep them
awake at night.
They have the ability to question their own actions and sentiments at any time of day
or night.
They are silently struggling
INFJs are usually calm (or at least peace is what they value).
If an INFJ feels stressed, they may experience anxiety, despair, or even outbursts of anger
at other people and objects.
INFJs do have a tendency to hide their stress or pain when they are around people who will
not understand.
They want to appear strong and impenetrable, therefore they keep a lot of things inside.
When the INFJ is in pain, they frequently want to talk to someone they can trust, but
finding someone they can trust might be difficult.
When they do find that particular someone, the INFJ wants to be able to share their sorrows
with them.
In most cases, they are afraid of becoming a burden to others, therefore they keep their
feelings to themselves.
They can’t handle information overload
INFJs have a limited capacity for information and details.
Some INFJs believe they can't manage too much information, but this isn't always the case.
Details are not a problem for INFJs.
It's only that they require some time to process the data.
The issue is with the pace with which information is disseminated.
When they receive information at a rate faster than their introverted intuition (Ni) function
can handle, they must rely on their tertiary function, introverted thinking (Ti), to sift
the data and distribute the workload.
This function is substantially weaker, and they occasionally get stuck in the dreaded
Ni-Ti loop.
To put it another way, overthinking.
They don't tell anyone since they don't want to cause any delays or problems, particularly
during group works, so they try to catch up as quickly as possible.
They feel misunderstood
INFJ often feel like people rarely "get" them.
They notice that when they start talking about something they care about, others don't seem
to understand why it's so important.
Many INFJs believe they are completely misunderstood but they choose not to complain.
Because the INFJ's major function is Introverted Intuition, many people are not on the same
wavelength as them (Ni).
INFJs frequently give up on explaining their abilities.
Or they don't bother since they are aware of how weird it sounds.
They feel alienated and misunderstood as a result of this.
Many INFJs keep a part of them, or try to, hidden within their mind only or for certain
individuals in their lives.
INFJs hide parts of themselves from people because they are afraid of rejection and afraid
of getting hurt again.
If you want to get to know the secrets of an INFJ, patience is the key and the part
of them which they hide, may be revealed to you, piece by piece.
INFJs never really want to hide, they just want someone to understand.
