Starting us off and the number 7 daily INTJ struggle is, not being social in a social
world.
No, they don’t necessarily care what's new in your life, or about the weather. And no
they’re not really interested in what show you watch on Netflix. INTJs use their introverted
intuition and extroverted thinking to constantly analyze everything around them. As a result,
they are simply not interested in making small talk.
socializing and engaging themselves in conversations with other people can be extremely vexing
for them. This is also why they despise crowds and usually avoid being close to most other
people.
Due to their extremely focused and driven nature, they rarely spend social energy on
useless conversations and chit-chat, instead, they try to avoid people who are unnecessarily
taking up their time and slowing them down.
If you have a friend who belongs to the INTJ personality type, you already know that they
don’t care about random conversation and they do not inquire about topics that they
think are a waste of time. An INTJ personality type usually prefers to discuss things only
when something important comes up.
That isn't necessarily a bad thing, however, in the world that is so social, it can come
across as rude or arrogant making life a little more challenging for an INTJ.
Next up and number 6 is they appear to be too rigid or strict.
One of the biggest reasons why having a friend who belongs to the INTJ personality type is
a huge blessing is because they are extremely reliable and you can always count on them.
Whatever the project or plan, they will always show up.
That is an admirable quality for an INTJ to have, however - it can lead them to expect
other people to be as reliable or dependable as they are. This expectation usually leads
to disappointment since no one is more reliable than an INTJ. Along with that disappointment
can come frustration towards other people. This is often perceived as being too rigid
or strict when in all honesty an INTJ is just wondering why they can't just show up on time.
This can obviously rub people the wrong way and give the misconception that an INTJ is
unfriendly or inflexible and cause them a lot of added stress.
Number 5 on today's list is their need for credibility.
Due to their extremely driven and hardworking nature, the INTJ personality type doesn’t
believe in wasting time on people-pleasing or flattering their superiors. The only thing
they respect in a superior is credibility and the one thing they demand is credibility.
Giving orders, bossing around, and trying to control an INTJ is an incredibly hard,
if not an impossible task. Earning an INTJ’s respect and Being able to give them orders
without them rolling their eyes at you can be pretty challenging.
Don’t get me wrong, and INTJ is an excellent team player as long as they are being utilized
on meaningful tasks to their full potential. but when they are being led by incompetence,
it can be frustrating and draining for them.
As a result, an INTJ can make their frustration known and attempt to take things over. Although
they do already know the best way to do things to accomplish the task, being INTJ Architects,
this will undoubtedly not come across well to others, or to their benefit.

The number 4 daily struggle for an INTJ is, dealing with hasty people.
As I mentioned earlier, this personality type is extremely precise and efficient when it
comes to the execution of a task, so it isn’t that hard to guess that for someone as efficient
as an INTJ personality type, inefficiency is one of the biggest things that can tick
them off.
If you are working on a group project with an INTJ personality type, you can be sure
that they will check out what everyone else is doing. Their research and preparation are
always top tier and they won't allow anyone else to mess up or detract from achieving
that goal. People might find an INTJ a little annoying and controlling for constantly checking
on others, and whether they are being careless or not.
Whether it is an event, or a project, or a presentation, the INTJ personality type believes
in paying attention to the smallest details and taking their time with them. When they
are working with others as a team, they expect others to be as efficient and as serious as
they are, so if they are working with a hasty or careless person, their temper Easily rises
and they do not have an ounce of tolerance in them.
Starting our top 3 today is, dealing with unnecessary limitations.
One of the most interesting aspects of the personality of an INTJ is that they are extremely
creative. They do not believe in societal limitations and unnecessary obligations. They
do not care about how other people think of them, and they never try to keep up with the
trends.
An INTJ personality type is a strong-headed person and they do not believe in blending
in with other people. They do not care if they stand out from the crowd or if they’re
getting unnecessary attention. If an INTJ has something in mind, they will do it, no
matter how hard it is. It doesn't matter how much people are opposing them or how They
might seem rude, Obsessive, or insensitive. but don’t blame them, it’s the perfectionism
and their ability to already know the right path for success. Most other people don’t
understand this which can lead to an INTJ feeling even more isolated and frustrated.
It is best not to try to control them to show your dominance. It’s going to backfire.
The only acceptable reason behind attempting to control an INTJ is So that they can succeed
and be closer to the goals that they have chosen themselves. However, typically, an
INTJ doesn't need any of those things since they are exceedingly capable of self-motivation.
IN the runner-up spot and the number 2 daily struggle for an INTJ is wasting time and being
non-serious.
One of the only times when you will see an INTJ at a family gathering or a friend’s
get-together is when someone has forced them or is continuously nagging them to join. The
only thing that they think of before making a decision is, will it help me get closer
to my goal?
This personality type happens to be extremely driven, determined, and focused, so it is
extremely unlikely that you will find them partying or wasting time on a weekend when
they can just sit, relax and recharge or mentally prepare the strategy of the incoming week.
When you are working with or dealing with an INTJ, never, and I mean never mess around
while you’re working. This is one of the biggest pet peeves of The INTJ personality
type. When they are working, they do not want anyone to unnecessarily mess around or crack
jokes or distract them. This can make an INTJ appear unfriendly and can be a turn-off for
a lot of people.
Topping our list and the number 1 daily struggle for an INTJ is betrayal.
You might be thinking, well no one likes to be betrayed, so what is so special about that
when we are talking about the INTJ personality type. Well, let me explain the emotional abilities
of the INTJ personality type. They use introverted feelings, so they keep everything inside,
don’t really express them, and don't rely on others' feelings when making decisions.
Yes, they will be good listeners when you are talking about Your emotions and personal
issues if they are willingly listening. Emphasis on the word willingly. On the other hand,
if you want an INTJ to talk about their emotions, or how they are a little overworked, stressed,
or a little upset because someone said something to them, they would probably rather jump off
a bridge.
This is also one of the biggest reasons behind the stress in a relationship between an INTJ
and someone else.
When an INTJ trusts you with their vulnerabilities or emotions, make sure to treasure them as
much as you can. They don’t open up or offer their inner world to just anyone.
It is extremely hard for them to get over the betrayal and to trust someone again as
it takes them a little extra effort than the other personality types to trust someone with
their emotional side. Nothing is more important to an INTJ than loyalty when it comes to their
relationships.
This can set them up for some hard days because there are very few people that are more loyal
and dedicated than an INTJ.
Most challenges are something that the INTJ likes overcoming and taking on the tasks that
come with them, but there are some things that get exhausting over time.
While we all face challenges and hardships in life, they are typically unique to each
individual. What one person thinks difficult, another may find simple and easy.
Knowing about our challenges can help us conquer them or find ways to alleviate the frustrations
we can experience in these areas.
