The INFJ personality type accounts for only 2 percent of the population.
INFJs frequently feel like outsiders because there aren't many
people like them in the world.
And INFJs see the world in a way that most people do not comprehend or relate to.
As a result, many INFJs are dissatisfied, frustrated, or even miserable.
This unique personality needs certain essential items (and people) in their lives in order
to be happy.
They demand (in a big way) their space, a creative outlet, and people they can truly
trust.
Because of their rarity, INFJs are gentle, loving, perceptive, and easily misunderstood.
They view the world in a way that few others do, and they must take great care to ensure
that they are putting themselves up for success while also living a happy life.
If you're an INFJ looking for ways to be a happier version of yourself, it's critical
to understand your personality as well as the things you desire and don't want in your
life in order to improve your wellness.
So what does this unique personality require in life to be happy in a world that doesn't

Alone time
INFJs are known for surprising others around them by retiring from time to time.
The INFJ has suddenly "switched off."
They've locked themselves away and aren't troubled by anyone or anything.
This alone time is as essential to the INFJ as food and water.
It allows them to tune out the outside world and concentrate on their own thoughts and
feelings.
It allows them to reflect on their lives and comprehend what has happened to them.
They utilize this time alone to organize their lives, to look within and reflect on their
own sentiments, and to digest the events that they've recently experienced.
INFJs will feel fatigued, moody, and overstimulated if they don't get it.
INFJs aren't antisocial by nature, nor are they typically introverts, but they do require
alone time to replenish their batteries.
Don't be concerned if an INFJ disappears for a few days.
They're able to look after themselves.
A life plan
INFJs will not be satisfied with a shallow life.
They would feel empty and restless just working to pay their bills.
They can perform everyday duties, but they must also consider how it all fits into the
larger picture.
They can't just come in and go out of work nonchalantly; in order to be happy, they need
to have a plan for their lives.
They like to plan ahead of time rather than reacting on the spur of the moment since it
allows them to prepare (both mentally and otherwise).
Because they are intuitives rather than sensors, their strategies are usually fluid and adaptable.
Not an hour-by-hour day planner, but a weekly calendar with a few things scribbled in.
An INFJ would strive to be as organized as possible in order to live a happy life.
They are incredibly happy and fulfilled when they have a goal and can consistently make
progress on that strategy.
They excel in anticipating the future and making adjustments to their everyday routines
as a result.
When they can see the improvement and know that their plan is working, they are overjoyed.
For an INFJ, being compelled to rely on others in any capacity is a terrible scenario when
they’re not able to plan things ahead of time.
This personality type yearns for freedom.
They prefer to work and live independently, not relying on others for their essential
needs, whether financial, emotional, or otherwise.
To keep going forward as INFJs, they need to have a good knowledge of what they're aiming for.
To Help
INFJs value being helpful and of service to the people in their lives as well as their
communities.
INFJs are frequently happiest when they are assisting others, since they have an intrinsic
sense of idealism and morality.
The advocate personality type is recognized for standing up for what they believe in and
working to ensure the safety and equality of others.
They have strong convictions and take their ideas seriously, believing it is their responsibility
to do the right thing.
INFJs don't simply want for a better world.
Their unique conviction propels them to take action.
INFJs are often pleased to be your first call if you've had a difficult day.
If you need assistance moving, INFJs are the people to call.
It's an important part of their personality, and one in which they usually excel.
Meaningful conversations
INFJs despise small talk and prefer to delve into significant, intense, and even abstract
subjects.
Don't be fooled by their calm, laid-back approach.
INFJs are eager to delve into your inner world and gain a better understanding of what makes
you tick.
They're interested in hearing the private ideas you're reluctant to share.
Even if you say you're "doing OK," they want to know how you're truly feeling.
INFJs enjoy talking about personal and big-picture issues.
They really like assisting others in understanding and growing from their complex, tangled emotions.
But don't worry, INFJs will never take advantage of your flaws.
So, please share your innermost thoughts.
INFJs will wither if they don't have meaningful interaction.
They have a particularly deep and rich inner world, and expressing their inner thoughts
is an important component of their happiness.
Creative outlet
IFNJs are creative people who find that expressing themselves via words and art comes effortlessly
to them.
When it comes to seeking a happy life, INFJs have a hard time articulating what's on the
inside to others on the outside, so having a creative outlet is beneficial.
Even if INFJs aren't inherently gifted, music and art can bring them a lot of delight, even
if they aren't producing pop songs or making classical masterpieces.
In addition, INFJs are language-gifted persons who are creative.
They are brilliant authors, poets, and musicians who use metaphors and symbols.
They turn to creative expression when they feel that communication falls short of articulating
their deepest ideas and feelings.
An external creative outlet (such as writing, music, art.) can assist INFJs process and
interpret their emotions in a more external environment and may give them the peace of
mind they need to be able to sleep soundly at night.
Support
While INFJs desire and frequently require complete understanding in their closest relationships,
they are accustomed to navigating the world without it.
What they truly require is the support of those around them.
They are aware that they have various perspectives on the world.
They are well aware that their demands and requirements differ from those of the majority
of the population.
Even if those closest to them don't always understand what they're asking for or why
they need it, they should be believed and encouraged rather than humiliated or disregarded.
Other personality types find it difficult to comprehend the INFJ.
INFJs are multi-layered individuals.
Even they don't always understand themselves.
Not everyone will understand the INFJ, and the majority will not even attempt it.
INFJs require at least one person in their lives who "gets" them — or makes an effort
to understand them.
Words of Affirmation are the most common love language among INFJs.
They value anyone who takes the time to listen to them and tries to understand and verbalize
their support.
They require companions with whom they can discuss their issues and seek assistance in
resolving them.
Their words of support and cheer fill them with the joy that only comes from a genuine
bond.
INFJs are pretty complicated individuals at their core, but it really doesn’t take that
much to make them happy.
They take pleasure in simple things that most people would find boring.
They like to be alone, left in their favorite quiet space to think their deep thoughts and
work through their plans and intuitions.
As discussed, being alone isn’t the only thing that makes them happy, but it is at
the top of the list.
Although at times, with everything about INFJs, their happiness is contradictory.
They can be simple and complicated at the same time.
But this is where they are most happy as well when they can be most themselves
and help others in the process.
