They can come off as judgemental
INFJs can sometimes have a tendency to see the world in black and white terms,
and as a result, they can be very critical of those who don't meet their standards. This
can intimidate people who may feel like they can never measure up in their eyes.
While it's true that INFJs can be judgemental, it's important
to understand that this is high standards are a way of bringing order to choften not
intentional. They’re simply trying to make sense of a chaotic world, and their aos.
For INFJs, judgement is not about putting others down, but about finding truth and meaning in
a confusing and often depressing situation. So if you're ever feeling judged by an INFJ,
remember that they’re just trying to find their way.
They can come off as intense
INFJs are often told that they're intense. And it's true, they can be very intense indeed.
They feel things deeply and they care passionately
about the things and people they love. They can also be very private people,
which can make them seem even more intense to those who don't know them well.
Their intensity can be both a blessing and a curse.
It's a blessing because it allows them to connect with the world in a deep and meaningful way,
and it's a curse because it can make them feel different from everyone else and misunderstood.
This intensity can intimidate people and make it difficult for them to form close relationships.
They can see through peoples BS
INFJs are known for their ability to read people.
On the one hand, they can see through people's facades and understand their
true motives. They can then offer compassion and guidance when someone is struggling.
On the other hand, this same ability can make INFJs seem intimidating to those who
have something to hide. INFJs may not always be interested in uncovering someone's secrets,
but their intuition can make it difficult for others to hide anything from them.
For INFJs, reading people is simply part of who they are.
It is a way of understanding the world and connecting with others.
They are not open books
INFJs are introspective and complex individuals who care deeply about
the world around them. INFJs are also private people who don't share more than they have to.
This can be intimidating to people because they can't quite understand
what the INFJ is thinking. They’re always processing information and trying to make
sense of the world. They are constantly seeking knowledge and understanding.
This desire for knowledge can sometimes make the INFJ seem aloof or standoffish.
However, INFJs are simply focused on their inner world and less concerned with outward appearances.
They would rather spend time alone introspecting or helping others than engaging in small talk.
They don’t compromise on their values
INFJs are known for having strong values that they don't compromise on. For INFJs,
these values are an essential part of who they are and how they live their lives.
They value authenticity and integrity, and they strive to live in accordance
with their principles. This can be difficult for people who don't share the same values,
as INFJs can be inflexible and unwilling to budge on important issues.
INFJs can also find it hard to deal with people who don't understand their values or
who try to push them to compromise. This can be frustrating and even for INFJs,
who just want to be able to live their lives according to their own standards.
Their idealism can be overwhelming
INFJs are born idealists, which means that they have very high
standards for themselves and for the world around them.
They want to make a difference in the world,
and they often feel called to do something special with their lives. This can overwhelm
people because they may feel like they can't live up to their lofty expectations.
INFJs may come across as critical of others because they see so much potential in people
and in the world, and it can be frustrating when things don't meet their expectations.
However, their idealism is also one of their greatest strengths. It motivates them to keep
fighting for what they believe in, even when the odds seem insurmountable. And it reminds
them that there is always room for improvement, both in themselves and in the world around them.
They will always stand up to injustice
INFJs have a strong sense of justice and believe that everyone deserves to be treated fairly. When
they see someone being treated unjustly, they feel a deep need to step in and help.
This can intimidate some people because INFJs are usually very quiet and introspective. They
don't usually openly express their opinions or stand up for themselves,
but when it comes to injustice, they will speak out forcefully.
When they set a goal, they are unstoppable
INFJs can be the most driven people you will ever meet, when they set themselves a goal.
They have a strong sense of justice and an unshakable belief in their own convictions.
INFJs are very uncompromising when it comes to fighting for what they believe in and
they will never give up on their goals, no matter how difficult they may seem.
This can be intimidating to some people who want to do better than them, but it is also
one of an INFJs' greatest strengths. Their focus and determination is what allows them
to achieve their goals, even when everyone else has given up. An INFJ on a mission will
be relentless in their pursuit, and being in their way will not be a pleasant place to be.
They respect authenticity in people
INFJs are known for their deep commitment to authenticity. They want to live their lives
in alignment with their deepest values and they strive to be honest in all their interactions.
This can be intimidating to people who are living fake lives,
because INFJs can see right through the façade. INFJs have a strong sense
of intuition and they are able to pick up on even the smallest discrepancy.
This ability to see through deception can make INFJs seem cold or uncaring,
but in reality they just don't have the patience for phoniness. INFJs want to
connect with people on a deep level and they believe that this is only
possible when both parties are being completely honest with each other.
They are very self sufficient
INFJs are independent people. They don't rely on others to validate their worth or make them
feel complete. They're often comfortable being alone and doing their own thing.
This can be intimidating to some people. They see
INFJs as emotionally distant or even cold. They may feel like they can't
get close to INFJs because they're always keeping them at arm's length.
But the truth is, INFJs just need a different type of closeness. They need to be able to
share their thoughts and feelings without feeling judged or misunderstood. They need
to be able to be themselves without having to censor themselves for someone else's benefit.
They can be very blunt with their words
INFJs are known for their suppressors, or "blunt words." They often say what they're thinking
without mincing words, which can intimidate people who are used to more diplomatic communication.
This tendency reflects INFJs' deep commitment to honesty and integrity. INFJs believe that
it's always better to tell the truth, even if it's not what someone wants to hear.
This bluntness can be a strength, but it also has its downside. INFJs often find
themselves in conflict with others because of their directness. They may also have trouble
understanding why people get upset when they simply tell the truth. But ultimately,
INFJs' bluntness is a reflection of their caring nature. They want to
get to the heart of things and help others see the world more clearly.
They take a while to open up to people
INFJs are not naturally inclined to put on a show of cheerfulness
with everyone they meet. They tend to be more reserved and introspective,
only sharing our innermost thoughts and feelings with those they trust.
This can be intimidating to people who are used to more extroverted
personality types. As such, INFJs may come across as unapproachable or even stuck-up,
when in reality they’re just lost in their own thoughts.
Their desire for deep, meaningful connection often
leaves them feeling isolated and alone. It can be hard for them to reach out,
but when they do find someone who understands them, the bond is truly special.
INFJs are often misunderstood because people can’t see beyond their intimidating exterior. However,
this doesn’t mean that they are always looking to be unnerving. More often than not,
INFJs just want to understand everyone around them. They long for connection with others
and often find themselves disappointed when people don’t meet their high expectations.
