The INFJ personality type is one of the rarest personality types in the Myers-Briggs personality
class in the world, with a population of between one and 3% of the world's population. INFJ
stands for introversion, intuition, feeling, and judgment, which describe the main characteristics
of this personality type. INFJs are both introverted and people-oriented, emotional and rational,
thoughtful, and at the same time sometimes spontaneous who can feel contradictory. They
can easily see the face behind each person and know them well. But the interesting thing
is that sometimes they have trouble knowing themselves; So much so that their reactions
and behaviors sometimes even confuse their natural intuitions. The INFJ personality type
has many layers and it certainly has many secrets that INFJs reveal these personal and
mysterious layers over time. A lot of these contradictions can cause an INFJ to have issues
on a day-to-day basis.

Starting us off and number 7 today is INFJs are typically on Different wavelengths
People who have the personality type INFJ may always be considered outsiders. This is
because the dominant function of any personality type is their main way of processing information
as well as their interaction with the world. For an INFJ, their Introverted intuition subconsciously
directs them to patterns, and they usually understand patterns in human nature, because
their secondary function is an extroverted feeling that drives them toward other people.
Although not necessarily a magical power or psychic ability, using their intuition can
make them feel that way. Because it works subconsciously, INFJs may suffer concerns
and anxieties they can't comprehend, an INFJ may know something without being able to explain
why or how they know it. Others have a hard time explaining the sixth sense. As a result,
INFJs frequently give up, which can lead to isolation and misunderstanding.
Number 6 on our list of daily INFJ struggles is they have a High understanding of others
If you are an INFJ personality type, you can quickly grasp other people's emotional states
and intentions. Others, on the other hand, don't appear to get INFJs. People with the
INFJ personality type frequently wish that others understood them as well as they understood
others. INFJs are more understanding than others,
but they can't recall details like a coworker's birthday or how someone drinks their coffee.
In fact, even though they think about many things, even the smallest details of the INFJ
may be overlooked. Introverted Intuition is used by INFJs to go beneath the surface. They
often know who is lying to them instantly. INFJs aren't always aware of how much they
know about other people, and they don't always show it. INFJs are sincere, loyal, committed,
and idealistic. They like their point of view to be liked and implemented. They value cohesion
and integrity, are very determined, and may sometimes act so resolutely that they are
stubborn. INFJs become good leaders and decision-makers because of their strong belief in clear ideas
and knowing what is good for people and society. Most people respect an INFJ even if they don't
understand them.
Next up and number 5 today is INFJ has a deep understanding of the feelings of others
An INFJ's ability to capture the emotions of others is not unusual. They do not just
feel the feelings of others - they can actually see them. No other personality type is exactly
like INFJ. INFJs have even been known to absorb the emotions of strangers. An INFJ may suddenly
feel grumpy, but I bet if you just look around the room you'll notice that someone else is
grumpy. The closer a person is emotionally to an INFJ, such as a spouse or close friend,
the more likely that INFJ is to understand that person's mental state.
It can be difficult to comprehend not just their own feelings but also the sentiments
of others, but the INFJ can use their skill to soothe and comfort others. INFJs have the
ability to empathize with others' suffering and bring them comfort.

Number 4 on our list of INFJ daily struggles is INFJs have Amazing predictive ability
INFJs, like wizards, sometimes know what they foresee will be right, but they don't need
a crystal ball to do it; instead, introverted intuition lets them see the broad picture,
identify patterns, build on those patterns and make predictions about the future. They've
seen what can go wrong. Not always with complete assurance, necessarily. Adult or mature INFJs,
on the other hand, has greatly enhanced their capacity to foresee.
They usually pay attention to their depth in different situations and see deeper meanings
and have a strong sense of dealing with situations. They depend on their own inspirations and
ideas, and they nurture others. They value their inspirations, and aspirations even if
others do not approve of them.
Starting our top 3 today is INFJs are Both emotional and logical
Although sensitive and empathetic, people with this personality type are sometimes mistaken
for those with the INTJ personality type.
IF you want to know more about the differences between INFJ and INTJ - make sure you check
out the video popping up on your screen right now or in the description below.
Introverted thinking (Ti), and INFJs third function, can be paradoxically entirely analytical
and scientific. They may enjoy technical, scientific, and research careers.
These two functions are relatively balanced in INFJ because extroverted feeling is their
second function and introverted thinking is their third.
In reality, INFJs don't appear to be as emotional as ENFJs or ESFJs, who are more emotional.
It has been suggested that INFJ is too emotional for thinkers, but it makes a lot of sense
for individuals in positions of authority. This common-sense, on the other hand, is beneficial
and helps INFJs to be balanced and reasonable.
In the runner up spot and number 2, today is INFJs are Sensitive to conflict
INFJs have a strong need for coordination in their relationships due to their sense
of extraverted feeling. They are always trying to connect with others - and they value people
who do the same. When there is a problem, especially in a close relationship, the sensitive
and emotional INFJ can become quite upset. They may have difficulties sleeping or concentrating,
and they may experience conflict-related stress in the form of headaches, muscle aches, upset
stomachs, and other symptoms. This isn't to say that INFJs should avoid
conflict in general; however, many of them are willing to do so.
INFJs may learn to set appropriate limits and advocate for themselves, and they can
do so gracefully, using the warmth and understanding that comes naturally from their extroverted
feelings, probably better than many other personality types.
What are your thoughts on these daily struggles of an INFJ? Leave a comment and let me know.
Topping our list and the number 1 daily struggle for an INFJ is love that isn't returned.
Because they care about others and, as introverts, they rarely feel the need to be the focus
of attention, many INFJs are excellent listeners. They also appreciate assisting others in understanding
and growing as a result of their experiences.
For this reason, they have been called advocates.
Although these qualities enable INFJs to develop their own level of emotional closeness in
the same way that other forms of partnerships do, it also means that INFJs are prone to
one-way relationships.
When others receive more than they offer, this is known as a one-way relationship. For
INFJs, a one-way relationship may be like someone who constantly gives them everything,
but instead does not listen to them or someone who uses the INFJ's willingness to help.
INFJs tend to be alone with the other person when this happens because they don't want
to damage the other person's feelings. Unfortunately for INFJ, these relationships are exhausting
and emotionally draining. INFJs must learn to select healthy relationships that make
them happy. The INFJ personality type is driven by a strong desire to form close bonds with
people. Because they are introverted and have less social energy, they are uninterested
in superficial and one-way relationships.
As a result, INFJs seek friends and partners who share many of their own characteristics.
These are usually people that have a special relationship with INFJs and are able to meet
introverts' requirements for genuine communication, intimacy, and meaningful interaction.
However, INFJs often have trouble communicating what they always want, but when they find
such a person, they feel like it is a miracle.
INFJs live in a world of ideas. They are independent, and thoughtful individuals, with strong emotions,
strong principles, and clear intentions. They trust their views and decisions, are motivated
by their inner ideas, and are highly respected and valued. This type of personality has a
rich imagination and values the feelings and motivations of others. INFJs often seem calm,
caring, and sensitive, listening to the ideas and concerns of others. They usually have
a good understanding of people and help others to get that understanding.
Because INFJs are sophisticated people, they may be hesitant to interact with people they
don't understand or appreciate, making them tougher to recognize.
Although they like to harmonize with others and support their goals, they are very loyal
to their value system and do not follow the way of others. When they feel disrespected
or realize that others have no pure intentions, they leave faster than you can imagine.
You’ve got this. Now go get it done.
