INFJ: The Most INTIMIDATING Personality Type (MBTI)

INFJs' sensitivity means they have a deep appreciation for beauty and the arts. They can be moved to tears by music, art, theatre, books, films, food or flowers. INFJs are very aware of other people's moods and feelings and can feel them themselves, leading them to be exhausted.

INFJ's can not only see through people - we can see through veneers in just about every situation, including people's motives and agendas. We sit back and look at the big picture.

Real life example: I told my neighbor, "The reason why you drink alcohol isn't bec you are an alcoholic. It is only bec you missed your dad who you saw drank on a daily basis." My neighbor cried & stayed silent for a while after I told him this. Dec last year, he quit drinking. Nobody believed he would ever stop drinking before this.

If you've lied to us or betrayed us, watch out. Our calm demeanor, kindness and empathy will turn very easy to something no one expects.

Anyone find that people out of nowhere decide you are an enemy and want to bring you down in very deliberate and often emotionally violent ways? I've had people randomly seek out to cause me pain and I've never quite understood it. It's super weird because I hate confrontation and conflict, but no matter how much of a hermit I try to be, lately there's always some random person who decides they are 'against me.'

I can smell their intentions, manipulations and lies long before they open their mouth. And they call me crazy, that it's "all in your head, you're imagining things". And it hurts every single time. That's why my respect is earned.

As an INFJ that grew up in a dysfunctional home I am very sensitive to other's pain -- which is why I will never say the really hurtful things I know about a person when I have a door slam. This is where Stoicism fits so well with being an INFJ.

I give my love to all my INFJ brothers and sisters, hope you find peace and happiness, keep strong, keep well, we are a rare species,

With all the chaos going on in the world, I would love to have a conversation with a mature INFJ who understands the truth. When all the dots keep connecting and the puzzle pieces keep coming together, it all makes sense to me. I am the only one who wanted to talk about the elephant in the room. Speaking truth scares people and causes them to avoid you. Sadly, it has led to a life of isolation. God bless

I absolutely refuse the statement that “I intimidate others.” NO. Others are intimidated by me, and that’s on them! I am just going about my life, and they need to own their responses and deal with them without assigning the blame to me.

Being able to tell people what they are thinking before they think about it is both a blessing & a curse. As an INFJ, I tend to scare people away. They think you stalk them when all you said was the truth.

I needed this. The last 4 years has been especially hard for me. I feel like everyone is lying to me and nothing makes sense. My friends hate it when I try to talk about current events and the future. I don’t want to do what everyone else is doing.

Recently, I've meet another INFJ, and I cought her sayin something insensitive in a various ocasions. It was shocking to realize I can appear insensitive too, despite being extreemly considered. Turns out she meant something different from what I have imagined. And if two INFJ's can not understand each other, I can imagine how difficult it is for other personality types to understand us. Your channel truely helps reflect on ourselves, and much needed especially for our personality type.

My ex-boyfriend of 7 years and my mother got together and had an "intervention" where they told me the words I used were too big and the conversations I had were "too much" so they had me tone down my vocabulary and simplify my sentences so "regular" people could understand me better.... I had another boyfriend before this who used a dictionary to look up words when we would talk. I gave him an A for effort on that. 😅

This is exactly true. Anyone else also have an extremely sensitive nervous system? I can feel it in body so much that I’m learning to protect myself. I get physically sick sometimes from others not even bad people just sick people. It’s intense. It’s honestly too much ❤ love and light to all

Re: lies and deception "freak us out" more than other personality types. That is spot-on, Sir! How did you EVER put all these puzzle pieces together so aptly? Astonishing! Thank you.

We're also chameleons. We can play the game, but we don't need or actually care about it. People stuck in keeping up appearances often react badly when the INFJ just walks away because the game is no longer interesting.

This helped me realise when I have fought for the truth without compromising my principles and not EVER backing down, every single one of the abusive individuals stopped attacking me in their tracks, rolled over and played victim. Every. Single. One. They realise I am relentless and decide to play other strategies like 'ruining' my reputation with other people and becoming victims. I am so proud of myself and will happily embrace the fact that even though I am a soft spoken, slight and feminine woman, I am intimidating!

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been told someone was afraid of me. It used to make me sad but not anymore. It can even be helpful sometimes in protecting my family.

I dont want to soak up information, I want to drown in it.
