      I quit. Mostly due to the societal sabotages called Feminism, Wokeism, and Public Education. These are all carefully crafted in order to stifle procreation. After I get my passport I hope to never return to the US; it is a purposely planned failing institution. May God be with those other wise gentlemen who come to the same conclusion.

    I'm a 55 year old INFJ woman. (single, never married, no children). I love my solitude and I'm so fortunate to have built a worthwhile life. I'm careful who I let in because I worked so hard for so many years to create what I have. If I meet someone whom I click with, that's great. If I don't, that's fine too. I don't let just anyone in. It's so important to me to get to know people over time.

    I married a very toxic person and stayed for 20 years. I finally left when I met another INFJ. We work together because we both understand what the other is thinking, feeling, and needing. We both work from home, yet we both have our own spaces within the house so we don't even interact except when we cross in the kitchen, and when we hang out in the evenings. It's a great balance. We still have our challenges, but they all seem manageable now. We get to be ourselves in a safe environment. It's great.

    Realizing the idol doesn't exist and starting happy and authentic helps so much. Then find someone emotionally independent. After some good dates with my wife, in the FIRST month we went for a walk in a park and talked about the big five topics to gauge compatibility: Kids, Money, "Intimacy", Religion, Life Goals. All compatible. Perhaps not the most romantic, but not a single fight in 15 happy years!

      But if you are an average guy, dating apps won't work at all for you. I'm a moderately handsome man I would say...but that's not enough when lined up next to thousands of other men, some of them who show yachts or jets on their Instagram pages.
      Unless you're looking to be treated like a utility, resource or entertainment for someone else...Give up the dating apps.

      Do NOT, as a man, put any faith in finding someone online!
      (This is not to detract from the many good INFJ insights presented in the video.)
      Instead, get involved with an in-person co-ed group/community around a particular interest/hobby/practice. Something you enjoy and that you are or can become good at. Unless you're superfically highly attractive, women will generally only develop an interest in you after a period of watching you in person. Making that happen in a context where you are demonstrating high competence at something catalyzes that process.
      In any case, best luck to everyone. It's tough no matter what.

    Great video!
    Re: #2. Until I was about 60 years old, I had never thought about what my values are. I just assumed I knew them, and that they were the values taught and modeled by my family and close community. Then, someone asked me about my values, and when I finally understood the concept, a light bulb went off in my head. That was a HUGE moment for me. I realized that my values are NOT those of my parents, siblings, and community. I am NOT them, and that's where so much conflict and disappointment was sourced. I am me, an INFJ. I could actually make a chart with 2 columns: (1) what I believe and like, and (2) what is non acceptable to me. That led to more self-respect and self-acceptance. That self-awareness was life-changing for me. Thanks!

    It isn't that we can't "make" connections, it is just that a true/real connection will be there or it won't. Trying to impose our desire for a connection can (and usually does) result in a wrong road taken with nothing but heartache and/or resentment in the end.
    Becoming comfortable with who and what we are is necessary for any INFJ to even be able to coexist with other people; trying to force/bs ourselves into believing there's something there that isn't becomes a betrayal of ourselves at our most fundamental level. This is just a matter of being true to who and what we are.

    You described it perfectly being an INFJ who refuses just to be with anybody. I suspect for those who did, it was very unhealthy. . I, as a woman, have often wondered why I just won't settle for someone, anyone halfway decent with a job , like I see so many women (and sometimes men) do, especially because I want kids. I am often told that people can't believe that I'm still single because I have so much going for me and attract men, get stared at a lot. Because quite frankly, a woman doesn't have to be anything special to get a man, it's, really not that hard. But people seem to want all women to just settle by 30 no matter what... And we all see how that tends to turn out. I don't believe in that, I take marriage seriously, I want to feel deep down that when I say I Do, that I feel that that person is truly the person for me, that I'm genuinely committed to, excited to be with, share with, etc. I realize many people just.. Pick somebody, anybody. It explains a lot.
    But no one seems to understand when I tell them I'm looking to feel that soulmate connection, to connect both intellectually, emotionally and spiritually, while being physically attracted. Otherwise, what's the point? Just to not be alone? I enjoy my alone time and I want a partner, but like you said, only if they add something rather than take away. I can tell by people's eyes that they literally don't understand what I mean because I've realized that in the late 20s, early 30s, many people do the musical chair scramble, looking to find a chair, any chair that they can get just to get married and start popping out kids. I come from a culture that pushes that super hard, like be married by 25 and start having kids right away. I'm definitely a mix of modern and traditional and 'wifey' type and feminine who wants a masculine man but I'm also very independent, have self - respect and self esteem so finding that man that respects both those modern and traditional elements, without me having to change myself, rather than be authentic, is difficult. Most men are looking for one, or the other, not someone who embodies both, and I can sense that.

I think it was because I was introverted and shy around them. Then a week after I turned 25 I met this guy and knew I was going to end up with him. We’ve now been together almost 19 years. Since finding out I am an INFJ and understanding myself and why I am the way I am a lot more, I feel like he understands me a lot better too.

    67 Year old INFJ. We can find partners and since we can be a chameleon we adapt to who they are. Unfortunately as another poster put it we attract extremely narcissistic people, like we have a sign on our forehead that says "Use me". I have given up on finding a partner to live with but the universe looks out for fools and INFJ's and i found a female INFJ that has become by best friend but that was only recently. Since we are both INFJ's we communicate clearly and neither one of us are offened by what the other person says because we bot know it comes from a logical point of view rather than from a jealous or vindictive tone. Neither one of us also are looking for a partner to live with. I wish all of you the best. Namaste

I am an INTP with a Heyoka empath personality, and it took me 40 years to just discover that. I can see that there are some very similarity with other types like the INFJ because we get same things to go through. I am astonished that there are people who really work with this daily. I like to analyze things that is important to know and that not many think about. Now when i know myself more than before perhaps i can be in a good use to something interesting and evolving. With my abilities that i have i believe that it can be used for research and human growth to make the focus more on how to live a life without abundance with stress and low fatigue. I realized that we as people have already so much to discover and how to beat the system who is always going to make us be more adicted to their power. I am a life hacker in this way and i believe that it can be useful for many out there who are tired of going after status quo. To be more percieving and to understand what it can help us to achieve our goals better by forging the catalyst that works for our personality the most.

    My INFJ intuition says that what really works for INFJs is the law of attraction. Or put another way, what belongs to you comes to you. In my experience the stuff and people that I go after never work out. The people and things that just come to me while I'm out doing my thing are the things that belong to me. Any other INFJs have this experience, whether with jobs or things or relationships? I'm really good at manifesting houses, cars, jobs, and even relationships etc. but the things I chase and strive for never work out. It's the stuff that just comes to me after I wished for them and released the desire without attachment that, when they arrive, seem truly right and even miraculous.

      I can relate to this so much. I feel we as INFJ’s are so focused on our personal goals and self development that we keep working on bettering ourselves and also raising our good vibrations. If we try to chase things just because we feel pressured to do it because of society in general, I feel we break the flow of our work and goals and are not our best selves. I’m very new to LOA but I could resonate to your comment so much. The relationships that I have been in and learnt from always came to me out of the blue when I wasn’t feeling the need to look for them. And now when I’ve been trying so hard to work on my friendships and relationships, I can barely find anyone worthwhile. I have this intuition too that as soon as I’ll stop chasing, I’ll definitely attract.

      @@Jaanvi.Thakur My gut tells me we INFJs need to lay low for a while. The world is chaos and upheaval and hermit mode for the time being seems like the best answer. That said, I deeply feel that we INFJs are being called to a purpose now. Our job is to be watching (from a safe distance) what is going on and then gently, every so gently in our INFJ way, steering people toward peace and stability. We neither wish to dominate nor be dominated, but when things get out of hand, no one is better at getting people to calm down than the INFJ. Have you listened to Jay from 'The INFJ Circle' channel? He called us the 'mom's friend' or something like that, meaning moms trust their kids with INFJ friends because they can trust us to make sure no one gets hurt or killed. I think we need to broaden this out to the world right now. Our balanced minds that can both think and feel evenly are needed. Anyway, I am saying this because I think we should put aside our personal development (for now) and start using our gifts to keep the world from spinning completely out of control. I talk about the LOA and the things that belong to me, well another deeply held conviction I have is that my life has been preparing me to use my INFJ gifts to see through the bullshit and frankly keep atrocities from happening. We INFJ don't succumb to group think, I don't even think we're capable of just going along when it comes to the 'latest thing'. And as empaths and natural diplomats, it seems to be falling to us to start speaking out, and even throwing a few INFJ well placed elbows in the world. I may be off base. Hard to tell, but when things go wonky best to trust one's gut, especially the INFJ gut. You think I'm wrong?

Seeing the world in its present state, I too feel like there is a need of this exact act by fellow INFJs. That being said, I also am aware that as an INFJ, I want to take on too many things at once and most of the times I end up not getting anything done. What I’m saying is we need to learn to be a bit more rational when we implement these things and even-though it’s not very INFJ nature but I think is needed so that we actually get something done. I do believe that my personal development is a process that I can never get away with but I’m thinking along the lines of sharing whatever I learn and can to the people around me and picking up certain areas and setting effective goals where I can bring transformation so that I actually get something done rather than just being in my own world and idealising my plan.

    This is something I've been dealing with lately. I've been single for over a decade, with no significant relationships to speak of. And I wonder if they'll be a sort of tipping point where I'm no longer willing, or able, to compromise on anything in my life to accommodate a relationship.
