Hey, Psych2Goers, welcome back to another video.
Do you feel that your personality type is INFJ?
The INFJ personality type stands
for introversion, intuition, feeling, and judging.
It's the rarest personality type,
and makes up only 1% of the total population.
Because of this, INFJs usually feel
like they're misunderstood by other personality types.
Therefore, this video will be addressing six things
only INFJs understand.
Number one, INFJs always care.
Do you find that you always care
about those around you who need help?
You will always care for people
to the point where you're willing
to risk your own wellbeing in the process
because of INFJ's strong sense
of personal integrity and drive to help others.
As such, you will frequently find yourself
in situations where you choose
to help others while sacrificing or neglecting
something that you want to do.
This will make you someone
that is extremely valued by others.
However, people may take advantage
of this personality trait
and make you sacrifice yourself
to satisfy their needs and wants.
Number two, feeling lonely in a group.
Do you feel lonelier when you're with other people
than when you're by yourself?
This may sound contradictory,
but it's one of the things
that only INFJs will understand.
Of course, it's important
to understand the difference between lonely and alone.
INFJs are known to be extremely intuitive
and comfortable when they're alone,
because they're constantly self-reflecting.
However, the same intuitive ability
is what can make you constantly feel misunderstood,
especially if you yourself cannot explain
how you know something.
This feeling of being misunderstood all the time,
when you're with a group of people
is what makes you feel lonely in a group.
Number three, self-sabotage.
Do you have the tendency
to overthink things so much
that you end up spoiling a happy moment?
INFJs have the tendency
to always dig deep past the surface level of things.
This tendency can ruin happy moments
for you, since you'll often think
that for every good thing,
there should be something bad.
This train of thought will eventually lead you
to put down your own success and accomplishments.
And the worst thing is that even the simplest
and most innocent thoughts can spiral out of control,
and become a huge obstacle in the way of your happiness.
We talked about the importance of your potential partner
being attentive and remembering the little things,
which is why so 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 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.
Here are what some people using the app have said.
Lily, INFJ, said, "I didn't expect to find love so fast.
Our personality types will be tattooed on me somewhere."
And Indy, ENFJ, said, "Matching people
using personality types is such
a simple and powerful concept.
So Syncd helped us find love, even in this difficult time.
You've really changed our lives.
In fact, we're now married.
Thank you."
Make sure you check out the app
in the description box below for more details.
We encourage you to try it out
and give yourself a chance to find deeper love.
Number four, easily getting emotionally drained by others.
How often do other people's feelings
or emotions affect you.
Because of your keen intuition and inner senses,
you will often be very quick to pick up
on the emotions and feelings of others,
and end up adopting these emotions yourself.
This personality trait makes you
as an INFJ a very powerful counselor and advocate,
since you can easily understand
and empathize with what other people are thinking.
At the same time, though,
this can be emotionally draining for you,
because of the huge amount
of emotional stimulus you are processing,
especially when you're hosting strong, contrasting emotions.
Number five, rarely opening up
or feeling like you've revealed too much.
How often do you express your feelings to other people?
Well, due to the introvert trait
that many INFJ types have,
you tend to be very reserved when it comes
to expressing your opinions and feelings.
Additionally, you're used to being
the one helping others out,
so you try not to look vulnerable.
Rather than opening up,
whenever you feel anger or frustration,
you prefer to retreat from social contact
and solve everything by yourself.
However, once someone gets you to open up,
you will suddenly feel like saying everything going
on in your mind and end up apologizing,
because you think that you're burdening them
with your problems.
And number six, inner guilt.
Do you constantly go over a situation
where you think you could have said something different?
This is most likely due
to the inner guilt that you as an INFJ constantly feel.
When you send a message to your friends,
your mind automatically makes you think
that you're somehow bothering them.
Or when you do something that you wanted to do,
you might start feeling guilty
because it meant that you didn't
do something others wanted you to do.
Even a brief conversation can leave you wondering
if what you said was right.
Whatever the situation is,
there's always something
in your mind that makes you feel guilty.
Did you relate to and understand these signs?
If you are an INFJ,
you might constantly feel lonely and misunderstood
because there aren't many others
that can relate to these thoughts and feelings.
But remember that you aren't alone.
There's likely someone out there
that can relate to the same struggles.
