We all have a few secrets, don't we? What secrets do you keep from others? We all have mysteries
that we don't want anyone to know about. Things we prefer to keep to ourselves. Things we can't
even share with the people closest to us. Of course, this does not imply that we are not our
true selves in general. It simply means that there are some things we prefer to keep to ourselves.
When it comes to personality types, INTJ is one of the most elusive. And there are
some major aspects of their personalities that they always attempt to keep secret.

Starting things off for me today is that INTJs Try To Hide Their Trust Issues
Many INTJs have had failed relationships and friendships. It is not always their fault, but
it is occasionally due to their true nature. Their dark side includes a tendency to be distrustful
and skeptical of those they become close to. But it's not something they do on purpose. Because
they are exceedingly analytical about everyone around them, INTJs have major trust issues. Their
trust issues can become so severe that they are unable to think favorably about the people around
them. This is because being betrayed is one of the things an INTJ personality hates the most.
What's worse, do you know what makes it tougher? It's the fact that INTJs can hardly ever be proven
wrong. When they believe something in their minds, they find it difficult to listen to anyone else.
As a result, They not only question the people around them but also refuse to
believe it when others try to justify their conduct. However, INTJs do understand that
their trust issues can cause a lot of problems, so they try to keep them as hidden as possible.
Next up is INTJs Try To Hide Their Overthinking
Being a logical thinker is pretty great, right? I mean, it helps you make better
decisions. It can help you resolve even the most difficult problems. Given that INTJs
are logical thinkers, this is undoubtedly a significant skill for them. However, doing
everything with logic has a negative side effect. INTJs search for logic even when there isn't any.
Things just happen sometimes. Sometimes there is no logical explanation.
But INTJs don't comprehend this, and their minds spiral out of control, causing them to overthink.
They overthink their feelings. They overthink so many things that the people around them do.
They carefully analyze everything. Even though this is a good thing, it can get out of hand
at times. When it does, INTJs are aware that the people around them will not understand.
As a result, when their minds begin to overthink, they tend to keep it to themselves.
Starting my top 5 today is INTJs Try To Hide Their Feelings and Emotions
INTJs enjoy having deep conversations. They don't always appreciate discussing their feelings and
emotions. They love talking about current events and engaging in lengthy discussions with others.
They even appreciate it when people express their emotions to them.
However, they want to keep their emotions and feelings as secret as possible. They
are actually quite secretive, and they dislike revealing their emotions to those around them.
You have to be really close to an INTJ before they will disclose their personal details to you.
This works against them sometimes, since most people assume they have no feelings at all.
In fact, INTJs are stereotyped as "cold-hearted" people. That, however,
is not the case. It's just that their emotions are often confined inside their minds. An INTJ
finds it difficult to put their feelings into words, so they avoid discussing them altogether.

Number 4 today is INTJs Try To Hide Their Intuition
Introverted intuition is the primary cognitive function of INTJs. As a result,
their entire personality is founded on their intuition, which is almost always correct,
by the way! You know how they say, "Trust your instincts"? Certainly, this is true for
all INTJs because their intuition always gives them the truth. Even though their
intuition is typically accurate, INTJs prefer to keep it hidden from the rest of the world.
No, not because they believe their intuition is incorrect. In reality, they frequently make life
decisions based on their intuition. That's how much they believe in their instincts!
But they feel like other people around them won’t understand their intuition. In fact, sometimes,
they don’t even understand it themselves. INTJs simply get ‘hunches’ and they just believe them.
They can’t really explain why they believe them, but they just know it’s true. That
gut feeling. It is all valid in the end. However, because it is difficult to explain,
they tend to keep it buried. Despite the fact that they keep it disguised,
they constantly trust their intuition and almost always base their decisions on it.
Kicking off my top 3, INTJs Try To Hide Their Arrogance
As previously said, INTJs find it difficult to listen to others when their intellect is telling
them otherwise. They have a tendency to feel that their intuition or intellect is correct
and that others are simply incorrect. It stems from their rational nature, which can make an
INTJ seem arrogant. They are always certain that their ideas and beliefs are valid, even when they
are in possession of incorrect information. Most of the time, they impose their opinions on others.
In fact, they are outraged and will fight anyone who tells them they are incorrect.
However, most INTJs acknowledge that this is a component of their dark side. These
feelings are exacerbated by the fact that they are frequently labeled as "arrogant" or
"uncompromising" by those around them. That is why, as difficult as it may be for them,
INTJs strive to keep their smugness as hidden from the rest of the world as possible.
In the runner-up spot, INTJs Try To Hide Their Feelings of Loneliness
It’s not like INTJs never have people around them. Yes, they’re introverted but they tend
to make a lot of friends but they don't get close to a lot of people. Even so,
INTJs experience feelings of loneliness at times. However, they never admit it or speak
it openly to anyone. It's sometimes because they want to appear powerful and self-sufficient.
As a result, they tend to keep their loneliness to themselves.
Because of this, they are dubbed "lone wolves." However, the nickname isn't entirely incorrect.
They are not afraid to eat alone, work alone, or travel alone. They're not bothered by all of this.
Even when they are alone, they are content. However, this sense of loneliness can be
painful at times. And all they want is to be loved and to be seen. No, this does not imply simply
nodding and smiling as they speak. They want to be noticed. They want people to pay attention to
and care about what they say. At the very least, they want it from one individual. They crave that
intimacy. So, even if they'll never acknowledge it to others, or even themselves, an INTJ has a
tremendous yearning to find real love, which will ultimately relieve their loneliness.

Topping my list and the number 1 thing INTJs try to hide about their personality is Their Talents
INTJs also have a tendency to hide their talents.
It's not because they don't want to take on more responsibility.
In reality, they like working and putting their skills to use. They simply flourish and operate
better when they are alone. This is because they enjoy brainstorming alternative techniques
and possibilities while working. They use their major cognitive function, introverted intuition,
to do this. INTJs have a tendency to become lost in their thoughts and come up with the best ideas.
When they’re doing that, people seem to only get in the way.
However, extraverted thinking is another of their cognitive functions,
and when they engage in that, they like to discuss what they were thinking about.
When it comes to work, though, they would always prefer to remain alone and come up with
the best ideas on their own. When left alone, INTJs are known to produce their best work.
As a result, the talents and skills of an INTJ are frequently hidden from the rest of the world.
There are numerous life advantages and strengths that INTJs do have compared to other personality
types. This is a direct result of their unique combination of cognitive functions that make an
INTJ so impressive. This video is going to give you a deep understanding of the
incredible strengths INTJs have over others and how you can utilize them.
