Delving into the Depths
INFJs have this cool knack for diving deep into the heart of complex ideas and getting
to the core.
They're always on the lookout for the real meaning behind their experiences, an eternal
quest to find the point of it all.
But sometimes, their passionate minds can lead them to search for the deeper meaning
in everyday situations that might not have any.
This is one reasons INFJs may come off as intense – they're always digging deeper
into everything.
For example, when a buddy complains about a noisy neighbor.
An INFJ might get caught up in figuring out the deeper reasons behind the noise, like
if the neighbor is going through a tough time or if it's related to some childhood memory.
The INFJ might even think their friend is sharing this problem because they believe
the INFJ is good at understanding people - so obviously this insight will prove how much
they care about their friend.
In reality, the friend might have just wanted to blow off some steam and wasn't looking
for a profound explanation.
But the INFJ's habit of searching for deeper meaning in everything can come across as intense,
especially to those who don't usually think about the whys and hows of life.
For INFJs, though, getting to the bottom of things is of utmost importance.
Just sticking to the surface level will never do.
Sense of Urgency
Time is a fickle friend, fleeting for everyone.
Life is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it affair, urging us to squeeze every last drop of joy
from it.
No one will believe this as much as an INFJ.
With their unique take on time, they will often find themselves grappling with it in
a way that's different from other types.
Many INFJs tend to be late bloomers in trying to untangle the complexities of their own
nature.
Like a master puzzle-solver, they’re striving to decipher the cryptic code that represents
their identity.
But by the time they solve the riddle and muster the courage to embrace their true selves,
they may already be well into adulthood.
This sense of playing catch-up can make INFJs feel like they're racing against the clock,
exuding an intensity that's palpable to those around them.
You will see this intensity in the way they talk about time and their experience of life.
As INFJs mature, they start to acknowledge their intrinsic desire for true self-expression,
and they often begin to appreciate the wonder and magic that life has to offer.
It can feel like a curtain has been lifted, revealing a vibrant world they've been longing
to explore.
But as they dive into this newfound understanding, two epiphanies strike.
First, they've likely been suppressing these desires for most of their lives, either due
to shame or the need to fit in.
And, they need to pour their hearts and souls into achieving their dreams and aspirations,
and it must start this very moment.
The latter part of an INFJ's life is often a whirlwind adventure, filled with determination
to make up for lost time and experience the euphoria they've only caught glimpses of.
With an acute awareness of life's fleeting nature, their dreams and goals are suddenly
hyper fueled by the desire to make every moment count.
And that, can be pretty intense to witness.
Pursuit of Flawlessness
INFJs are the kind of people who chase after their dreams, but sometimes their perfectionism
gets in the way.
When they're working on something, they want it to be perfect, and this can be a bit of
a roadblock.
It's like they see a mountain in front of them and feel like they have to climb it before
they can even get started.
Take, for example, an INFJ who wants to get into photography.
They saw this incredible photographer on Instagram and now want to capture photos that are just
as magnificent.
But instead of just grabbing a camera and snapping away, they think they have to learn
everything about photography first.
They’ll end up spending months researching camera equipment, lighting, and all the different
photography styles.
Sure, it's a thorough approach, but it stops them from just going out and having fun with
their new hobby.
The thing is, you don't have to be a professional photographer to enjoy taking pictures.
No one's expects you to be perfect from the get-go.
Nevertheless their perfectionism endures and can turn even the simplest tasks into these
huge, complicated projects.
And so it's tough for INFJs to start something new because it’ll always involves a time-consuming
research phase.
It's great to be thorough, but sometimes INFJs need to step back, relax, and trust they’ll
learn as they go.
Thirst for Knowledge
INFJs are known for their love of learning, and their curiosity can take them on some
pretty wild journeys.
They're attracted to complex topics, which can range from philosophy and ethics to computer
science and engineering.
Their intellectual pursuits can really know no bounds.
This relentless inquisitiveness can even lead them to explore numerous subjects at once,
they’ll often delve into a variety of resources to satisfy their hunger for more knowledge.
They're hooked once they find something that piques their interest, and their enthusiasm
for a new idea and a deeper understanding can literally keep them awake at night.
However this insatiability often leads to to extreme exhaustion, without them even realizing
it.
Imagine an INFJ who has taken up a new hobby, like painting.
They might spend countless hours researching techniques, color theory, and the works of
famous artists before they even pick up a brush.
This need to immerse themselves can be a compulsion.
To satisfy their intellectual appetites, INFJs will read books, watch documentaries, and
ponder all the underlying tangents over and over.
But finding harmony between unyielding curiosity and self-care is key to a fulfilling life.
INFJs will do well to recognize their limits and take breaks when needed.
Trusting the Inner Voice
INFJs, known for their deep thinking and strong emotional awareness, often base their decisions
on their feelings.
They tend to pursue opportunities that align with their inner values and resonate with
them emotionally.
When an INFJ is faced with a decision, such as choosing a place to live, they consider
not only practical factors like cost and location but also how does this place make me feel.
Picture an INFJ searching for a new home.
As they explore different neighborhoods and houses, they might find a particular house
that evokes a sense of peace and belonging, as if they've discovered a hidden sanctuary.
This emotional connection to the space will tell the INFJ that this is the right place
for me to live.
Relying on these intuitive emotions to make decisions might cause others to assume that
INFJs are acting impulsively or taking unnecessary risks.
However, INFJs usually understand the difference between impulsive choices and the intuitive
guidance that steers their lives.
For them, disregarding their instincts and relying solely on logic would be an even riskier
approach to decision-making.
