Weird Habits Of An INFJ Personality Type
Make sure to watch each one of and find out if you have any of them!
If the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator assessed you as an INFJ (Advocate/Counselor) Personality Type,
chances are you have some weird and peculiar habits. Being labeled weird or awkward might
have negative connotations, but for certain people, it can be appealing and separates them
from the usual. INFJs can certainly be labeled as odd or peculiar, but this is largely due to
people's inability to look beyond the surface. Advocates take a different approach to things,
which can be perplexing to some others and cause them to misunderstand where the INFJ is coming
from. Advocates are quite unique, and some of their traits and behaviours can be very bizarre.
Find out if you have any of these weird habits and remember if you do,
think of it this way. You are not some weirdo because of this,
you just possess some distinctive features which are typical for your personality type
that don't necessarily fit into particular social conventions and they are often characterized as
weird. Furthermore, most of them can help in reaching personal growth and self-improvement
so it is very beneficial to know them. Here are 8 Weird Habits Of An INFJ Personality Type.
Number 1 - INFJs find interest in things which others consider weird
INFJs are not only unique individuals, but they are also drawn to things that are unusual
or different. They rarely comply with social conventions, and these types of things can seem
shallow and irrelevant to them. Advocate s are drawn to things that are unique to them,
things that are something more than just striking the eye. They don't like superficial things or
things that don't seem to have actual meaning for them. This can make people think they're
odd because they don't have the same hobbies or interests as other individuals. Instead, the INFJ
is drawn to things that pique their interest in a unique way, anything that can connect
them to their very rich inner brains. INFJs may discover that they are sincerely passionate about
topics that most people find weird, but that is part of the charm for them. They may even enjoy
things that others find peculiar or unpleasant, but which the INFJ sees as deeply beautiful.
Number 2 - INFJs can see through people The ability to perceive hidden motives is one
of the lesser-known properties of Advocates. INFJs are quick to pick up on other people's intentions
and underlying aims since they have a high level of Introverted Intuition. 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, aspirations,
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 hidden meanings behind what people say and do. INFJs typically have a sense of
how other people are feeling, even if they are attempting to hide their feelings. They have a
proclivity for absorbing other people's feelings, which others can find unsettling at times.
Number 3 - INFJs like to be alone
Because of their introverted intuition, the INFJ has a very rich and complex inner world.
Advocate s have vivid imaginations, which drives them to desire to spend a lot of time alone.
This might cause them to become estranged from others at times, especially when the INFJ
desperately needs this time alone. People don't typically get to see how much of who they are and
what they believe or feel because it's wrapped up inside them and INFJ do not open to anyone.
Because they can hold individuals at a distance, most people find it difficult to connect with
INFJs, creating a vicious cycle. People may misinterpret the INFJ's struggle to open up and
want to be alone, which can be misunderstood and perceived as strange or even weird.

Number 4 - INFJs are using their intuition to predict the future
Because of their Introverted Intuition INFJs take every piece of information together into a
“vision” or perception into what will take place in the future. This insight usually appears
out of nowhere in a flash of realization and precision. All of this may appear mysterious and
enigmatic. INFJs are strategic, innovative, and secretive because of their capacity to see
into the future. Patterns, symbols, approaches, and future consequences are all visible to
INFJs. It may appear that they are "psychos" since they are continuously in this mental state,
but it is simply the way they are accustomed to seeing reality and perceiving the information
around them. INFJs are acutely aware of the future and are constantly on the lookout for
situations or occurrences that may alter or change upcoming events. Everything is viewed through the
lens of how it will play out in the future. As a result, INFJs are more aware of possible
outcomes or transformations than other personality types which people find very weird and shocking.
Number 5 - INFJs try to avoid conflicts by any means
INFJs do not like any disagreements, which make them poor verbal communicators when it does arise.
They try to avoid addressing the elephant in the room by waiting for the other person to do
so first. INFJs will not give up on relationships too easily however they will gradually fade away
psychologically, emotionally, and even physically if they sense the dynamics have changed. People
and especially close ones of Advocates consider it as a weird habit because INFJs can appear
hopeless and detached from the relationships they are supposed to be committed to.
Number 6 - INFJs are building the wall around them INFJs are regarded for being the rarest
personality type, which can lead to them being misunderstood quite often.
Because most people don't operate or experience the world in the same manner as Advocates,
it might be difficult to connect with them. Growing up, this can be particularly tough for
the INFJ, who may even regard themselves as odd. Because they are so different from their peers,
they may believe there is something wrong with them. This causes the INFJ to separate themselves
from new individuals, and they often become guarded around them. This isn't to say INFJ
can't be pleasant or social; it just means that most people don't get to see inside and beyond
the barriers they've constructed. Because Advocates often feel peculiar or out of
place when they are around others, the INFJ does this to protect themselves. Due to their rarity,
they may be perceived as odd or bizarre, whereas in truth, people just do not comprehend them.
Number 7 – INFJs can’t decide if they have feelings towards someone
Extroverted Feeling (Fe) is an INFJ personality trait that naturally attunes them to how others
are feeling, yet it often keeps Adcovates from comprehending their own feelings. Most of the
time, INFJs have a very good idea of who a person is and how we'll get along after
just one interaction, but when it comes to romantic prospects, they are sometimes so
overwhelmed that deciding how they truly feel about someone takes a lot of time and energy.
Number 8 – INFJs can be extremely awkward
INFJs can appear or act uncomfortably at times, although this is generally due to their
exceptional sense of intuition and empathy. They have the ability to see things that others do not,
which makes the environment stressful and often unsettling for them. Having to choose
whether or not to speak up about what they observe, or keep it to themselves because
most people won't understand anyhow. This might make the INFJ feel uptight around certain people,
especially if they know anything about them that they want to keep hidden. People don't
always get it, so the tension can make things even more uncomfortable, making the Advocate
feel like they're the ones who are being awkward. Advocates who have isolated themselves can become
nervous in social situations, despite their ability to be charming and engaging
individuals. INFJs can surprise people with their ability to be social and friendly; yet,
this isn't something they like doing very often as they can get exhausted by the constant need of
pleasing others. This occasional awkwardness is a very Weird Habit Of An INFJ Personality Type.
