If you’re an INFJ, you know the struggle of telling your brain to stop
with the constant racing thoughts.
INFJ don’t trust just anybody and are selective about the people who they let into their lives.
They sometimes feel like they are old beyond their years, because of the way they just
intuitively know things.
They can be very hard on themselves and they’re easily drained by other people’s emotions.
Listening to this you might think being a rare INFJ is a curse, but in actual fact,
it’s an underrated blessing.
INFJs belong to the less than 3% of a minority of individuals
who exhibit remarkable personality features.
Although introverted, INFJs are hard not to notice.
So here are five unexpected advantages of being an INFJ.

They have creative minds.
INFJs are known for their creativity and imagination.
They are exceptionally creative because they are able to pay attention to details while
focusing on the big picture.
They are never short on ideas, whether it's in music, art, or writing.
They have the ability to spot patterns, opportunities, and designs that an average person would miss.
Having a creative mind doesn’t mean they are always working on something creative
or artistic.
They can also be imaginative, curious, and spend a lot of time at rest, silently reflecting
on issues that interest them, allowing their mind to freely wander.
They like to daydream and imagine the possibilities and wonders of the world.
They can immerse themselves in imagination and fantasy yet remain grounded enough to
turn their daydreams into reality.
INFJs are often described as dreamers, but that doesn’t mean that they always live
with their heads in the clouds.
Scientists, artists, and musicians are all creative types who can come up with unique
solutions to real-world problems.
Others may dismiss their ideas as mere fantasies or inconsequential, but those with creative
brains discover ways to make their thoughts a reality.
I read Steve Jobs is a Genius.
What do you do?
I play the orchestra.
They are determined and passionate.
When an INFJ is certain that proceeding with a work or project is the only option,
they will declare, "Nothing is too hard if it has to be done.”
They consider obstacles as opportunities to learn new things and gain new experiences
that they can use in the future.
When they believe something is valuable, they are often adamant about pursuing it which
often leads to them overthinking.
They are often silent, yet have a fierce devotion for whatever matters to them.
Others may be surprised by their determination and passion.
When they’re passionate about something, they find it simple.
They see that they’re improving at a faster rate than others.
This rising sense of excitement is their passion, and it's what keeps them coming back for more,
honing their talents, and building on their strengths.
They’re idealistic.
People often give “wishful thinkers” a poor reputation, and idealism is so often
viewed as a flaw, but it can be a powerful asset if harnessed.
Idealistic people like INFJs can be the best at solving problems.
They have the ability to see a result that is superior to anything previously thought of.
That doesn't imply it's always feasible but being able to imagine something is the first
step towards making it a reality.
You got a dream,
you got to protect it.
People can't do something themselves,
they want to tell you, you can't do it.
If you want something, go get it.
Period.
INFJs genuinely believe in making a positive difference in people's lives and the world around them,
and they frequently participate in activities that benefit those who are underserved
or in need.
They are known for never giving up on a project or task that no one else wants to do.
Even though it seems uncertain that they’ll be able to accomplish it, they always seem
to pull through.
Lots of people want to make the world a better place but lack the resolution to do anything significant,
but INFJs have the willpower, fortitude, and organization to make it happen.
What sets them apart is their ability to translate their idealism into action.
They don't just dream about changing the world—they make it happen.
They are natural empaths.
INFJs can read people's "vibe" and know if they pass the vibe check.
They are sensitive people who pick up on other people's emotions rapidly.
Because of their intuitive nature, they demonstrate compassion in ways that go beyond simply knowing
what those around them are going through.
I don't think I'll be coming back.
Yes, you will.
Course you will.
That's just morbid thinking.
We're going there and back again.
Just like Mr. Bilbo.
They can distinguish between their friends' disappointment, grief, and worry, and they
are skilled at reading body language and recognizing silent suffering.
They understand how others are feeling and they can respond appropriately to the situation.
This strength isn't overlooked, and it's not uncommon for acquaintances to open up to them
just because they "feel" they'll be understood.
INFJs go to great lengths to console a person or find a way out.
INFJs are capable of naturally investing in the emotions of others and become a source
of advice, support, and guidance for their friends — both personally and professionally.
Their excellent listening skills help them offer well thought out advice while making
others feel appreciated, accepted, and loved.
People tend to flock to INFJs for comfort or advice.
They are aware of this strength and they take great comfort in it, knowing they can bring
a positive impact to people’s lives.
They are insightful.
INFJs have an intuitive tendency that extends beyond what we call ordinary.
They frequently pass judgment based on their emotions and like watching people interact.
They have a great desire to see beyond the obvious, and a remarkable ability to see through
people's motives, so lying or deceiving an INFJ is extremely difficult.
Then what is it?
I do not trust him Sir.
What do you distrust?
His nature Sir
like many charming people
he conceals an almost absolute dependence
on the appreciation of others
INFJs understand more than they are told, and they are almost never incorrect.
They can use the information they gain to address fundamental issues
that are at the heart of the problem.
Solutions come to an INFJs mind through unconscious processing, when they’re not thinking about
the problem the same way as before.
They can deduce what is actually happening, behind the words, behind the actions.
They pick up on small details in what people say and more importantly about what they don’t say.
I've opened some wine downstairs.
I'll be down in a minute.
Did you think I'd forgotten you.
Perhaps you hoped I had.
Don't waste a breath mourning Miss Barns,
every Kitten grows up to be a cat.
They seem so harmless at first,
small, quiet, lapping up their saucer of milk.
But once their claws get long enough,
they draw blood.
Sometimes from the hand that feeds them.
They are able to understand the intentions behind everything.
INFJs have gotten so used to doing this it's like second nature and they can see patterns
of behavior repeating in similar circumstances.
However, some INFJs might be unaware of their potential and struggle to find a place in society.
Sometimes they may feel it is more than frustrating to stand out with their judgment and the way
they see things, but being an INFJ means precisely that.
To stand out.
INFJs should embrace their individuality and strengths as it is what makes them special.
