Starting things off today is INTJs Fear Lack of control
Being one of the most independent personality types, INTJs often fear losing control of
their lives and their surroundings.
They like to be in charge of their own destiny and feel uncomfortable when they are unable
to direct their own path.
INTJs also tend to be perfectionists, so the thought of not being able to control every
aspect of their lives can be downright terrifying.
INTJs are constantly seeking to gain a greater understanding of the world around them and
to exercise control over their environment.
This need for knowledge and control can sometimes lead INTJs to experience a fear of lack of
control.
INTJs may feel that if they do not have a deep understanding of a situation, they will
be unable to exercise control over it.
This fear can result in INTJs feeling anxious or stressed in situations where they are not
fully informed.
Additionally, INTJs may avoid taking risks or making decisions in order to maintain a
sense of control.
However, by learning to embrace uncertainty and trust their very powerful intuition, INTJs
can overcome their fear of lack of control.
There will be things in life that are out of your hands, and that's okay!
Instead of dwelling on what you can't change, focus on what you can control and make a plan
to move forward.
Next up and number 6 is INTJs Fear Not Meeting Their Potential
The INTJ personality typically has lofty goals and ambitions, and they often fear not meeting
their potential.
This can be due to a number of factors, such as a fear of failure or a sense of self-doubt.
The INTJ personality type often feel like they're capable of so much more than the average
person, so when they don't achieve their goals, it can be really frustrating and demoralizing.
INTJs are the epitome of an introvert because they are so private and reserved.
They are also known for their analytical minds and their love of knowledge.
INTJs are usually very successful in academics and their careers.
However, INTJs also have a fear of not meeting their potential.
This is because INTJs are constantly seeking new knowledge and new challenges.
They want to make sure that they are using their full potential.
INTJs often have high standards for themselves and for others.
They may feel like they are not reaching their full potential if they do not meet these high
standards.
An INTJ may also fear that they will never find a challenge that is truly worthy of their
abilities.
Just remember that an INTJ needs to set realistic goals for themselves and take small steps
towards achieving them.
Don't try to do too much at once – focus on one task at a time and give yourself time
to achieve your goals.
Number 5 on today’s list is INTJs Fear Betrayal INTJs have a hard time trusting others and
don't let just anyone into their lives.
This is because they fear betrayal – the idea of someone hurting them or going behind
their back is truly horrifying to them.
INTJs often have a small group of close friends and family members that they can really rely
on, and they are very selective about who they let into their inner circle.
INTJs are some of the most loyal people you will ever meet.
But, there is one INTJ fear that is stronger than all others: the fear of being betrayed.
INTJs are very independent people.
They like to be in control of their own lives and their own destiny.
When an INTJ feels like they are losing control, it can be very scary for them.
The thought of somebody else making decisions for them or controlling their life is a nightmare
for an INTJ.
That is why the fear of being betrayed is so strong.
If you're an INTJ who's struggling with the fear of betrayal, try to be more open with
people.
It can be scary to let your guard down, but it's worth it in the end.
Coming in at number 4 today is INTJs Fear Mediocrity
For an INTJ, innovation and making a difference are very important to them.
They don't want to just blend in and be like everyone else – they want to stand out and
be exceptional.

INTJs often feel like they need to be extraordinary in order to be happy and fulfilled, and this
can put a lot of pressure on them.
INTJs are constantly striving for excellence and are always looking for ways to improve.
They are also very independent and prefer to work alone, which can lead to them feeling
like they need to always be at the top of their game.
INTJs also have very high standards for themselves and others, and can often be perfectionists.
This combination of factors can make it difficult for INTJs to accept anything less than perfection.
They often feel like they need to prove themselves, and this can lead to them feeling like they
need to always be the best.
INTJs also have a strong dislike of routines and may become bored easily.
The best way to deal with this fear is to embrace it.
Don't try to be someone you're not – just focus on being the best version of yourself.
There's no need to compare yourself to others – everyone is different, and that's okay.
