Have you ever wondered if what scares you is strange or unusual?
Do you ever feel alone in your problems or fears?
The vast majority of people do.
There is no such thing as a fearless person.
There will always be things that make people nervous because these fears take us out of
our comfort zones; it's part of being human.
Each personality type has its own set of fears, and there could be distinct patterns and concerns
that are specific to each personality type.
While some fears are shared by all personality types, there would be significant disparities
in what people are also most afraid of.
INFJs that are generally timid or socially nervous have their own set of fears that they
must deal with on a daily basis.
So here are 10 greatest fears of the INFJ personality type.

Being abandoned
INFJs have a reputation for having trouble trusting others.
They read between the lines so well and hunt for hidden meanings so often that they almost
unconsciously take everything with a grain of salt.
Because they are the smallest minority, accounting for only 1-3 % of the population, they often
feel alone for the majority of their life.
These factors can make it difficult for them to trust others, receive love without reservation
or worry, and feel like they can be completely themselves.
When asked about their worries, many INFJs mentioned abandonment as well as the dread
of opening up to others and allowing oneself to be unconditionally loved.
Large crowds
INFJs try to stay away from crowds if possible.
Being in the midst of big groups of people about whom they know nothing or very little
might be stressful.
For a variety of reasons, swarms of strangers can be frightening to many people, but it
is especially so for INFJs.
Being empathic individuals, they can feel the energy of other people and this fear comes
from the negatives energy they are likely to absorb.
INFJs may also feel isolated in large crowds, which they don't enjoy or find energizing.
They feel best included in small groups of people with whom they are familiar.
A large collection of unknowns is about as terrible as it gets — and it may even trigger
a panic episode in certain INFJs.
Embarrassment
INFJs spend a lot of time listening and watching, and they attempt to avoid having other people
hear or see them do something that they will recall negatively.
They spend a lot of time as intuitive people in the midst of a speculation fallacy, in
which they make up a lot of possibilities about what might happen, frequently as a method
to talk themselves out of getting into a situation at all.
And the subjects they ponder about could range from no one smiling at a joke they tell to
a more terrifying Worst Case Scenario.
Being an intuitive INFJ can help them feel more prepared, which can be a good thing.
However, if they're an easily embarrassed INFJ who doesn't like being the center of
attention, it might make life even more tough.
Evilness of humanity
INFJs long for a world ruled by equality, compassion, and liberty.
When they are constantly bombarded with stories of injustice, corruption, and cruelty, they
begin to feel emotionally connected to the suffering they are witnessing.
It can be difficult for them to separate themselves from all of the difficulties that people face
as a result of the actions of others.
When they know others are suffering or being treated unfairly, it can feel tough to focus
or rediscover their strong sense of vision and purpose.
Many INFJs, on the other hand, utilize their fear of evil to motivate them to speak out
against injustice.
INFJs are the types to stand up for what they believe in.
Their dark imaginations
INFJs have a very vivid and rich imagination.
They spend a lot of time "in their minds," studying and predicting things.
However, their imaginations might occasionally get the best of them.
Because INFJs have such a strong Introverted Intuition (Ni), they regularly generate insights
and visions for the future.
They place a great deal of trust in these beliefs, concepts, or "gut feelings," almost
as much as they do in the sensory world.
This can lead to them developing intense anxieties based on their imagination and intuition,
which may or may not be correct, particularly in childhood.
Many INFJs struggle to control their hyperactive imaginations even as adults.
Meeting new people
An INFJ's heart may begin to race whenever they are in a circumstance where they will
be engaging with strangers.
Getting to know new individuals, as well as the early phases of building a relationship,
can be difficult for INFJs.
The way society typically dictates how people make and maintain such interactions is often
detrimental to them.
Their introversion makes it difficult for them to form and maintain relationships through
small conversation in large, noisy groups.
They enjoy getting to know people one-on-one and discussing topics that will help them
learn more about who they are.
Days like the first day of school or the start of a new job can be extremely stressful since
they entail the chance of meeting new people.
Supernatural
INFJs are noted for having a strong spiritual side, whether it is religious or personal.
This could lead to them having a much stronger faith in the supernatural.
While INFJs are skeptical of superstitions, they are fascinated by the unknown and what
"could be."
Many people state that they try to be sensible in whatever they do, but that science can
only explain so much.
Of course, there could be numerous INFJs who claim that they are not terrified of or believed
in the supernatural in any way.
As a result, depending on one's beliefs and history, these fears will differ from one
individual to the next.
Long social engagements
INFJs who spend a lot of time with extroverted friends may be accustomed to having people
try to persuade them to attend an all-day or all-night event.
While the promise of spending quality time with their friends is appealing, they may
realize that spending long hours with anyone (whether they like them or not) is exhausting.
And the prospect of working those long hours can be stressful, especially if they don't
have a backup plan in place if things get too much.
The people-pleaser in them is constantly pressuring them to say "yes" to long, drawn-out plans,
but the introvert in them recognizes how desperately they need to say "no.”
Darkness
While many INFJs enjoy astronomy or going for a night trek in the woods, they also have
a strong aversion to gloomy environments in their houses and personal spaces.
Getting up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom may cause their minds to stray
to all the things that could be lurking in their homes' dark corners or empty rooms.
Because they're so imaginative, they could have a habit of filling empty spaces in their
homes with terrible notions and images conjured up in their heads.
They feel as though their visual sense fades in the dark, and they are unable to discern
who or what is around them.
They rely on their visual system to protect them from harm, so being without it makes
them feel defenseless and at risk.
A small amount of fear is natural.
Some people may have fears as a result of their personality types, such as those listed
in this video.
Fear is generally misunderstood as a negative emotion, yet it may actually aid INFJs in
automatically protecting themselves from harm.
Their fear may guide them in recognizing when they are about to do something risky and help
them to make safer decisions.
Sometimes their fear stems from a lack of knowledge about the thing they are afraid of.
People must remember that just because some of an INFJ's fears may appear silly to others,
it does not mean that it isn’t something INFJs shouldn’t be afraid of.
It’s normal to have fears that may be absurd to others, and they shouldn’t degrade themselves
for being their true INFJ selves.
