types, strengths, and weaknesses into 16 general personality types.

out of all of the personality types. The INFJ personality type is recognized for
being kind, thoughtful, and caring. However, with all of the focus on the positive
features of the INFJ personality type, it is also vital to focus on the negative aspects
in order to present a more accurate portrayal of the INFJ personality type.

Starting us off today and the number 7 hidden enemy of an INFJ is that they are Bluntly
Honest. The best policy is to be truthful. However,
in this diplomatic world, INFJs must be careful with their words. A neutral response is preferred.
Unfortunately, INFJs are too honest to express themselves in milder terms.
Even when they try to be polite, their comments come out harsh, nasty, and judgmental, which
is the negative side of an INFJ personality. Your intentions are good, and you only want
the best for people, but INFJs tend to focus on the bad aspects of a situation rather than
the positive. INFjs can be harsh, but they are never dishonest.
the number 6 hidden enemy of an INFJ is they can be very self-destructive.
People with this personality type are exceptionally intuitive, as the N in INFJ suggests, and
create deep ideas and emotions. While this is frequently regarded as one of
your most significant benefits, it may also be a cause of conflict.
In the same way that you can comprehend and feel emotions on a deeper level, you can also
overthink and invent problems in your head that do not exist.
This might happen when you try to decipher someone's words or actions beyond what they've
said or done. You may also attempt to guess what someone
will do without even giving them a chance, based solely on a comparable circumstance
in your past that ended poorly.
The fifth hidden enemy of an INFJ is they, bottle up their negative emotions.
Do you prefer to keep your troubles to yourself in order to avoid conflict?
As an INFJ, you tend to keep your troubles to yourself in order to avoid burdening others
with them or being misunderstood. However, because you're so used to being a
source of comfort for others and adapting to their concerns, rather than addressing
your own challenges, you have a tendency to lash out when someone wrongs you.
As your troubles and bad emotions accumulate and are not handled, you may end up taking
it out on those around you. This might cause irreversible harm to your
relationships with your closest family and friends.
Number 4 today is INFJs have exceedingly high expectations.
Do you have a tendency to have high expectations of the ones you know?
While it is natural for you as an INFJ to have extremely high standards of yourself,
you also have a tendency to have extremely high expectations of others, particularly
family, close friends, and in romantic relationships. This is why you may feel as if you are constantly
disappointed or frustrated as a result of being let down.
However, when you establish unrealistic goals in life and seek only connections that suit
your idea of perfection, it can be difficult for those around you to connect with you.

The third hidden enemy of an INFJ is they can abruptly remove individuals from their
lives. Have you ever been overwhelmed and burdened
by the emotional needs of others? You're incredibly sensitive and empathic,
which is one of your key characteristics as an INFJ.
However, when you have a tendency to put yourself in the shoes of others, you end up enduring
a great deal of emotional agony. As a result, you may choose to cut someone
out of your life abruptly. Now, there are many instances in which it is appropriate
to cut somebody off, like when they are emotionally abusive or manipulative, there are also times
when you may have made a hasty decision and lost a relationship that was genuinely worthwhile.
Moodiness is number 2 on our list of hidden INFJ enemies today.
Do you prefer to keep your feelings hidden rather than express them?
As a highly aware and deeply feeling individual, you are prone to experiencing a wide range
of powerful emotions. And, even if you try to hide it and avoid
talking about it, it's clear to see how these emotions influence your conduct.
Instead of being your usual laid-back self, you may begin to push people away for reasons
you don't understand and separate yourself from others in order to sort out your emotions
until you can speak up about them.
Topping our list today and the number 1 hidden enemy of an INFJ is their stubbornness.
Do you consider yourself to be someone who does not typically welcome change in your
life? Your judgment trait is to blame for this since
it identifies your obsessive planning and future-oriented thinking.
As a result, you would prefer that things proceed as planned rather than having to accept
unanticipated adjustments. This stubbornness will extend to other aspects
of life, potentially resulting in a slew of missed chances and prospects for a happier
life.
