the 9 Things Only An INFJ Will Understand Make sure to watch each one and find out if
you can relate to that!
If you’re an INFJ, you’ve most likely felt misunderstood or “different” for a good part
of your life and this is mostly because there are some things that you seem to comprehend in
a different way than most people. Advocates make up only 2% of the population and if you think you
are an INFJ, dive deeper into your personality, learn what are the things only you can relate to
and determine how you can use them to increase your soft skills and achieve personal growth. Here
are 9 Things Only An INFJ Will Understand.
Number 1 - They feel worthless if they cannot help someone
INFJs want nothing more than to bring joy to others. Some INFJs have been known to
give up anything for their loved ones as long as it makes them happy. Of course,
this can lead to resentment and exhaustion. Advocates want to contribute in a healthy way,
yet their loved ones prevent them from doing so. But, as INFJs, they will sense
that something is amiss even if they do that. When Advocates recognize that they can't help,
despite their best efforts, the problem escalates. INFJs may experience feelings of
worthlessness, which can negatively impact their self-esteem and quality of life.
Number 2 - They often feel lonely in the group
Do you feel lonelier when you're with others than when you're alone? This is something that
only INFJs will comprehend. Yes, it appears to be paradoxical, yet it is true. Of course,
knowing the difference between "lonely" and "alone" is crucial. Because INFJs are
continuously self-reflecting, they are believed to be exceptionally perceptive and comfortable
when they are alone. This intuitive capacity, on the other hand, can make them feel continually
misunderstood, especially if they can't explain how they know something. When INFJs are with a
group of people, the constant feeling of being misunderstood makes them feel even more lonely
than when they are alone.
Number 3 - They are easily getting emotionally exhausted by others
How often are you affected by other people's moods or emotions?
Because of INFJs' great intuition and inner senses, they'll frequently be fast to catch up on
other people's emotions and sensations, and they will end up adopting them themselves. Because
Advocates can quickly comprehend and empathize with what other people are thinking, this
personality feature makes them a very powerful counsellor and supporter as an INFJ. However,
due to the large amount of emotional stimulus they are processing, especially when they are harboring
intense and conflicting emotions and sentiments, this will be emotionally tiring for INFJs.

Number 4 - They get flashes of insight No, an INFJs is not a medium, but they
frequently have flashes of insight or images in their heads that reveal how something will unfold
or the consequences of a decision or plan. What causes this to happen? Extraverted Sensing (Se),
their inferior function, is continually synthesizing information that they pick up.
It integrates this data with previously stored unconscious facts and symbolic representations
in their minds. This information-synthesizing process is almost unconscious,
so when INFJs get a sudden epiphany, they are usually not sure where it came from or why.
Number 5 - They are very strategic Many INFJ descriptions focus on our emotional
tendencies, and while these are important aspects of their personality, their strategic abilities
are frequently overlooked. Advocates have hunches or insights about a future potential or likely
outcome, and then they work backwards to figure out how to get there. Advocates are great at
visualizing a goal and finding out how to achieve it. They are good at spotting ramifications,
potential stumbling obstacles, and the best paths to pursue to reach a future notion or prospect.
Number 6 - They rarely open or they feel they’ve opened too much
How easy is it for you to express your emotions to others? INFJs have an introverted personality
trait that causes you to be reserved when it comes to expressing their thoughts and feelings. INFJs
re also used to being the one who helps others, so they strive not to appear vulnerable, making
it even more difficult to open up to people. INFJs prefer to withdraw from social contact and settle
everything on their own rather than opening up whenever they are angry or frustrated. However,
if someone gets an INFJ to open up, they'll feel compelled to tell them everything that's on their
mind, and they'll end themselves apologizing because they think they are bothering others.
Number 7 - They randomly do crying sessions
INFJs are very sensitive and emotional individuals. Unfortunately, this can lead
to these individuals experiencing a wide range of emotions at inconvenient times and places. It can
be really difficult to cope with someone who has a lot of strong emotions. It's not always easy to
control something that might be so overwhelming, whether it's feelings of rage or despair. When
an INFJ's emotions get the better of them, they may break down in tears seemingly out of nowhere.
All it takes is a melancholy song at the mall to bring the tears to your eyes.
This is a very common occurrence among INFJs, and it can't be avoided. It’s a
part of who they are and should be accepted as a result of their deep connection to the world.
Number 8 - They are often misjudged by others INFJ’s are often described as mysterious, cold,
hard-to-read, uninterested, and bored-looking by people who don't know them very well. But their
closest friends, however, don't seem to hold this view. This is because INFJ’s live in their own
world most of the time and it's only in getting to know them that people realize it’s not personal.
They require time to build up enough trust in people to know they won't be rejected if they
open up, thus they tend to keep their emotions and feelings close to their vest. Others may find
it aggravating when they only get glimpses of an INFJ's bright personality on rare occasions. Their
poor message response times leaving others ``on read" and unaccepted invitations can make other
people feel unwelcome or as if they're the only one trying. This is why INFJs have a small group
of close pals. These are the people who have the patience to understand and appreciate their own
distinct ways of being. They are rewarded with lifelong loyalty and affection in return.
Number 9 - They overanalyze every interaction When an INFJ talks to someone, they tend to
worry about everything they said afterward, even any quote "mistakes," which might drive
them insane. They genuinely want to enhance their interactions with others, but they frequently get
into a perfectionist attitude in their efforts to say the correct thing, which can leave them
feeling terrible for not expressing anything more valuable or better to that person. For example,
an INFJ might run into an old acquaintance at a street. Most people wouldn't think it's a huge
deal whether they say something or don't, but for an INFJ, it can feel like a life-or-death
decision. They can opt not to and avoid making eye contact for the duration of the wait. But
they'll keep thinking about how they should have struck up a conversation or at the very least
said hello thereafter. Even if it was a minor occurrence, they will remember it for the rest
of their lives since they believe it was a mistake on their part. On the other side, if they did say
hello, they'll be thinking about it for the rest of their lives. It felt awkward, and they didn't
sound quite right for the circumstance. As an INFJ, your tendency to overanalyze things can
make it seem like there's no way to win. This is one of the Things Only An INFJ Will Understand.
