- [Narrator] Hey, Psych2Goers.
Welcome back to another video.
Have you ever heard of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator?
Do you know what the INFJ personality type is?
INFJ is the rarest of the Myers-Briggs personalities
and stands for introverted, intuitive, feeling, and judging.
Amongst their other features, INFJs are mostly known
for their introverted behavior
and their idealistic approach towards life.
And while these rare behavioral traits
can make them very valuable for society,
like everyone else, it can also put them at a disadvantage,
especially for their romantic life.
So here are seven reasons why, as an INFJ,
you may still be single.
Number one, you won't settle for anyone
other than your dream person.
Would you end your relationship with your partner
because they're not the person you've envisioned?
As an INFJ, you're always striving to find someone
who can connect with you mentally, emotionally,
and even spiritually, to a very intimate degree.
You're always looking for someone who truly understands you
and who you can share your inner world with.
But the problem comes when you won't settle
for anyone less than what you have in mind.
At the same time, the selectiveness that you have
when forming relationships presents itself as a barrier
for people who are interested
and who genuinely want to know you better.
Hey, Psych2Goers, do you struggle
to build deeper connections with others?
Are you looking for ways to connect
with people beyond the surface level?
Today's video is sponsored by So Syncd,
a place where we can match partners by personality types
based on the 16 personalities model.
You can access it by clicking the link
in the description below.
Two, you stress over small things.
Are you someone who always needs things to be perfect?
Wanting everything to be perfect can lead you
to constantly stressing over the small things.
As an INFJ, you develop deeper ideas than the usual person.
And although this is an incredible skill to have,
it can also make you read too much into things.
If you're constantly stressing over insignificant things
that you fail to look at the bigger picture,
then it could be a reason
why you might find yourself still single.
Number three, you wait for others to make the first move.
Do you feel bad for initiating conversation
because you think you'd become a burden for them?
This is a common thought that INFJs have.
Whether it's for them to text you first
or to take you on a date,
as an introverted person, you usually wait
for them to make the first move.
While it may be that you're afraid
to be bothersome for them,
this habit of waiting for others to approach you
can also result in a lot of missed opportunities.
We talked about the importance
of your potential partner being attentive
and remembering the little things,
which is why So Syncd could be the right app for you.
They pair couples who have the right amount
of similarities to get each other and just the right amount
of differences to create that spark
and go for deeper, meaningful dating.
Upon taking the personality test,
you discover your personality, such as INFJ, so thoughtful,
or ENFP, so curious.
Once you've mutually liked each other,
you can start messaging.
We wanted to say a massive congratulations
to Hannah and Brendan, who got married in December
after meeting on So Syncd, the dating app
that matches compatible personality types.
Hannah is a Psych2Goer who discovered So Syncd
through one of our videos.
She downloaded the app, found Brendan,
and deleted the app within a matter of hours.
Hannah is an ENFP and Brendan is an INTJ.
They would be a perfect personality match on So Syncd.

on your wavelength.
Make sure to check out the app
in the description box below for more details.
We encourage you to try it
and give yourself a chance to find deeper love.
Number four, you can be very stubborn.
How strongly do you defend your values?
One of your main personality traits as an INFJ
is that you tend to stick very closely to your values,
beliefs, and ideas.
Because of this, you might give off the impression
that you're not willing to change your opinion,
even when proven wrong.
This can be a very important factor
for potential romantic partners,
as they may be put off by your stubbornness.
Number five, you see past fake acts.
Have you ever gotten into a fight
with someone because you found them faking something?
Although people may tell you
that you're just assuming things, as an INFJ,
you do have the ability to see past the surface
and notice things that other people don't.
Unlike others, you are very observant
and will look out for things like people's body language,
voice tone, and facial expressions.
And being able to see past fake acts
can disqualify more people than you might think
when considering who you want
to form a romantic relationship with.
Number six, you don't do casual.
Do you commit to relationships very fast
because you don't want it to be a waste of time?
If yes, then this may be why you're still single.
One of your personality traits is that you don't like
wasting time and effort on things
that are not going to work out.
This is also why you're so selective
about who you form relationships with.
However, when looking at romantic relationships,
this trait may scare people off
as most people usually prefer to start casually
and not commit to too much, too soon.
And number seven, dating is a pain for you.
Do you have a positive or a negative impression
of the dating experience?
Although a lot of people find dating as bothersome,
INFJs can feel overwhelmed by it.
As an INFJ, one of your inferior functions
is extroverted sensing.
This means that you don't like it when a lot
of sensory information is being thrown your way.
So putting yourself out there and meeting new people
can become overwhelming and exhaustive.
As a result, you might find yourself avoiding dates
altogether, which may be why you're still single.
Do you recognize any of these signs in yourself?
