My dreams are complex and they reveal answers that I never saw coming. I am very good at dream interpretation. But that’s not the weirdest thing. The weirdest thing is when I purposely give someone an INFJ stare. In that moment I open my emotions and push them over to the other person. Simply put, I put my emotions in my face. And they are shocked at first, overwhelmed, scared, and confused because they are feeling the weight of the situation-the deeper meaning. Then they are relieved and they are deeply moved in some way. It’s very rare. INFJ’s hate to open themselves up. We usually just take energy from others, with that energy usually being sadness, hopelessness, etc. But when we do the INFJ stare we are a mirror. It is as if we show the person, this is what I see when I look through you. This is who you really are. This is the truth of it. I see who you REALLY are, and I am still standing here. Sometimes we do it to protect ourselves, but more often we do it to help the other person. Once I did it to a guy who was thinking of attacking me. I let him see inside me. What he saw was no fear. He saw someone who mirrored him. He saw a predator. It was 💯 INFJ rage. Silent, cold, and potentially deadly. He kept walking because he saw something he recognized which was a total lack of emotion. We can take emotion in, project emotion, and we can also completely turn emotion off. I stared him down with zero emotion like a mountain lion or any other predator. And my face said what I wanted it to say: I’m dangerous. I see your evil and I’m not afraid. One of us will die. I’m not like you. I’m not afraid of death. I can feel your trepidation and I can reflect it back to you so you can see your weakness too. Do you like that bitch? He wasn’t shocked or confused. He understood me perfectly. He was tall and he outweighed me. He was thinking about his odds. He was thinking about self-preservation. He was doing risk assessment in his head, like someone working out a math equation. But he couldn’t concentrate because of my INFJ stare. It was throwing him off. He had zero empathy, guilt, conscious, etc. He was pure evil, and he kept walking. And he’s not the evilest person I ever stared down either. INFJ’s can tap into this mode when we just don’t give a shit. That’s INFJ rage. It doesn’t mean we yell, scream, or throw things. We don’t have boundaries like regular people. If someone crosses us big time, we will destroy them by using their weaknesses against them and taking what they love (because we understand manipulation sooo well). But most of the time, almost all the time, we are just helping other people.
Especially when you give them the 411 and they don't believe you. Then you drop hints and STILL nothing... THEN two years later they're like.... "You were right....." Like I don't have enough paper or crayons for this! 🙄😬🤦♀ Literally, my life story.
One other thing about EMPATH s /INFJ ‘S , WHEN we have reached beyond our limit of patience and all the “dust” settles we are DONE,there isn’t anymore to give ! And we mentally walk away !🚶♀️🚶🏼🚶🏼🚶♀️There is no more forgiveness left ! 🙀👵🏻😱🖖🏼👽🐲
I have been telling people since I was I kid that I can't watch sports injury replaces or anything where someone is getting hurt to the extend I can see it. It feel pain shoot through my body.
@Jguthro same I find that those "funny" videos of people falling or getting hurt in some manner aren't funny at all.... I can feel the pain through the screen.
Being too aware of everything around me. It's almost like I get notified when something changes. And sometimes there are too many "notifications" coming in. It's scary how much information is embedded in the way someone looks at you.
Omg! This is so me. I’m in this constant state of hyper vigilance, even when the situation doesn’t need it. I can’t turn off those notifications or my reactions to those notifications until I just get overstimulated and need alone time… the only time I can mute those notifications and return to normal.
It's just another day as an INFJ. 😊 I don't take it for granted, but I don't question it either. - knowing when a conversation is about to end, about 10-15 seconds before hand. - sensing what a person means, even when they use the wrong words. - able to recognize when two people are not understanding each other, and knowing the right words to clear up the confusion. - sensing when a person or group don't get what I'm saying, though I often don't know how to explain it so that they do. - knowing a person on a deep, unexplainable level when they share a memory that they loved as a child.
Being an INFJ is like swimming in an ocean of energies. We feel at home in that ocean, find the current that suits us, settle in and are annoyed by any one or any event that disrupts our harmony.
This is so spot on! It plays a lot into why I don't like large gatherings. The anxiety, emotions and awareness makes it all too much at times. I will tell my partner something about someone by just watching them for a few moments. He thinks I'm crazy, but then days later he comes back and says "you know what so and so did/said today? You were right!"
Christmas is the worst. You will not catch me anywhere near a mall or stores. I do my shopping in the summer. I AVOID work Christmas parties. People think I'm antisocial. I love Christmas, just not in public.
Social gatherings are always exhausting... feeling the strong conflicting emotions , energies& dynamics in the environment. I become drained... find myself looking for hostess tasks to distract me. Or find a polite reason to leave.
Infjs are really sensitive to noises.... Given this I wonder why so many You Tube presentations on the infj personality have such repetitive and annoying background noises as this one does.
Yes, everything means something, when I see numbers, patterns, letters etc… I don’t see myself as psychic or anything, but others ask me if I am. I see patterns in everything though.
@jenniferc1671,I've been told by psychic's for 50 + years,'what have you come to see me for' ?, 'because do you know you are psychic too', ,or told by them you are a round hole in a square peg,but don't ever change your personality for anyone else!.I do not believe in coincidence's either,so he's spot on with that too .
@jcoop49 I have to say that we are quite fascinating individuals. I wouldn't change my life nor myself for anything, and y'all shouldn't either. I love watching these videos because their too spot on.💖
I’ve taken the MBTI test several times and the result has always been INFJ. However, just like how you’ve mentioned that we do not want someone to be angry, I’m just puzzled why do I get easily angry when someone doesn’t get my point that i’m passionate about? I end up bursting and eventually be blamed for being conceited? I think it would have been better if this video includes how sometimes the dark side of INFJ takes over and not just the overrated good traits coz no one is that perfect. Having two contradicting emotions/thoughts at the same time is a phenomenon for me and it happens everyday.
I’d love to _know_ the answer to that, myself. I can guess it’s that you expect them to process information like you do. But INFJ’s are very intricate and often opaque (even to themselves) in their thinking process. Maybe you’re not explaining it in a way they’d understand. Maybe you’re wrong in your thinking, or your conclusions. Maybe you’re right, but it’s not possible to convince them. How I could go on about the last part.. I can ask this for sure: Does your anger in a given moment make sense? In other words, should you even be angry about it? Are you extrapolating your thoughts in connection with reality? Are you sure? Are you even capable of catching yourself in the moment and detecting if your anger makes sense, that it’s justifiable in the grand scheme of things, or are you simply incapable of anything less than, “I am angry right now, therefore I am right to be”? There’s someone I know who, for whatever reason, became someone I had to grey rock like a narcissist (maybe she became one, but she wasn’t like this, once) out of how hair trigger her temper became, almost always over the smallest things that had no bearing in anything, but she saw otherwise. She justified her anger when it really wasn’t, often to the point her voice would be wrecked for a couple of days, but good luck convincing a raging woman that her anger is irrational. Oh, you occasionally express your regret and apologies for the tirade, but only the day after. Like, that’s going to help fix things? Then it keeps happening, and each time, in the moment, you justify yourself like you never internalized any lessons? golly, I have so much contempt.
@@EMichaelBall what usually happens is that my intuition kicks in then i share it to others with all the possible justifications I’m seeing and they just pretended to listen. Then that thing happened which affected us all but they failed to recognise that I’ve been telling that all along. I don’t know if it’s ego or they find it so hard to believe something that doesn’t fit their logic. Then when I share another one of my intuitions they gave the same face/expression and its just frustrating that I would just close my eyes to calm my self. I can’t just let go of the intuition coz if that happens, it will affect me and the only people who can stop it are the people I’m sharing those intuitions to. Another instance would be when I’m sharing my thoughts about a topic to someone after hearing their side, the other person won’t even address the points I’m raising and would just go back to their initial argument which I’m nullifying with the points Ive shared. INFJs are known to be balance and listens/thinks all the possible outcome. Just a slight hint of that balance from the other person is all I’m looking for but they tend to push over what I’ve said until it’s too late and it started happening.
We INFJs have a deep desire to be understood so we have a tendency to over explain. I don't know all of the science behind it but I know from experience that this tendency can cause a lot of frustration on both the INFJ and the listener. Remembering that not everybody thinks the way that you do is extremely helpful in these situations. Also, don't be so hard on yourself we are all human beings
@@teresaphillips9692 i agree but at times it takes the better of us and we lose it then regret our actions. How i salute people that can keep calm at all times but I’m learning and trying that. Lol
@@joserowellcorro8683 how right you are!! However, there is only one way to form a habit and that is by repetitive action. Since INFJs are not endowed with perfect patience (I don't think I would trust anybody that was) we have to struggle with ourselves to obtain any amount of patients... for ourselves
You hit the nail on the head with this comment: "In fact, sometimes their findings are so ridiculous that they tend to get in the habit of keeping their findings to themselves to allow others to come to their own realizations naturally." I guess it's because the truth is stranger then fiction that INFJs get in the habit of as you say, "keeping our findings to ourselves." Sometimes I think online conversations give us the impression that everyone will be in the state of denial if that is what we generally come accross online, so we "keep our findings to ourselves." Other times it's just impossible to present all the necesary information that something is the way it is, so we "keep our findings to ourselves." If our minds sifted through 10 volumes of data to reach a certain conclusion, it's not easy to share that much information with others!
They wouldn’t understand even if you could. We are generally not understood. I just tell people that I don’t know why….it’s too exhausting and then you would just get the blank stare.
The thing I struggle with here is not letting these observations and intuitions affect me, either physically or mentally. I have learned to compartmentalize them like a filing system.
I had to start telling myself (especially the recognition of hidden patterns/motives and tying learning in multiple subject into one area to see the overall and apply that to current situations to predict outcomes)… if I have no control over that informations future, then cool, recognize it was a fascinating factoid or pattern I’ve recognized and then move on… does no good stressing about a predicted event I have no personal control of except to MAKE ME CRAZY. 🤪 😂❤ even if I do end up right eventually.
I've experienced every single one of those. I'm glad to have been reminded about the "Spotlight Effect". I find it easy to forget that most people don't notice things that I do.
Totally related to all, but especially the sharp shooting pains when seeing/hearing of others pain and knowing exactly that something is "off" about a person or situation yet no one else notices or sees it. That has created conflict in the past for me as well being labeled suspicious of others. However, nearly every single time I feel this way, eventually it is revealed I was right, even though it sometimes takes a long time for that to be revealed. As for patterns/numbers, I constantly see the time of my birth when I glance at the clock. It happens so frequently I don't even get surprised by it anymore. Patterns are everywhere for those truly seeing. 😊
@dalelerette206 Same! I'm 34yo male, and I've been an athlete who has worked out my entire life (started with gymnastics and karate at 4😂, football and track lead me to the weights). The gym has always been a form of meditation for me! I too am an INFJ-A, and life is not always easy, so I learned a long time ago that for me the "Gym" helped me to re-enter myself. I think ALL people should find what type of exercise they enjoy, and then make it a constant part of their lives forever. I'm a Heyoka as well, so it's ironic that I have worked and done many things, but I ended up in fitness. It's for myself, as well as the health and happiness I help others with. Very fulfilling in that sense. Hopefully when I reach my 50's, I too can be strong. Anyways, I felt like I resonated with what your comment said. I Hope life is going well 🙏 and stay 💪
I have all traits but I don t really feel pain for me except teeth or headache. I smile when I m hurt and joke,try to don t show. I try to cut empathy to get away bad feelings,it s great for not the person panic and be aware with the good emergency move,i don t have a good feeling but i let it sleep,it s done like stoïcisme even if I do everything for people be safe but that s life sad for olds and children I like people to stay alive and take it as it comes and learn !
Walk toward a room with open doors and sometimes just turn to leave as can FEEL all sorts of bad situations or energy! Must learn to block some of it off. The more we grow the more we can block it. Everyone can Feel we Feel them and we are Safe to share with. Thank you! Appreciated!
I experience all the ones this video covered. I'm glad that I'm as intuitive as I am, but at the same time, it can get so frustrating wnen others don't believe me or doubt me.
It's painful, yeah. I look at it like, it's why I'm here on this rock at this time. It helps others see that it's all more than just mortgages and dentist appointments and remembering to get more milk. It helps them trust their own intuition. I've always regretted holding back. Not immediately, but eventually, I regret it. I don't regret door-slamming! You gotta EARN that! HAHAHAHAA!
People not believing me or understanding me because operating intuitively I may myself have to think about why I did this or that and it will seem as if I'm lying even if they had access to my mind and can cause people to have fasle verification to there own assumptions
I've turned down job offers at very toxic workplaces. I can just sense the dynamics the minute I walk in. I'm polite during those interviews, but NOPE! I'm so grateful for this particular INFJ superpower. I have experienced them all, and more, though.
synchronicity and signs isn't so "woo woo", it mostly manifests as just noticing patterns. I unconsciously notice obscure references that repeat in a given day. it rarely means anything but it always feels like there might be some higher, hidden pattern at work with an outcome that hasn't yet been revealed. That or I'm just more "woo woo" than I would like to admit. This was a nice video and it felt reassuring that I am not in fact alone. Thanks
Every single thing mentioned. I could sense another being in my sister-in-law, when sitting next to her. I knew she was pregnant before she did, because I felt the baby's energy. It felt different than hers. When my close friend was pregnant, I was convinced that I was, because I was feeling it physically. I'm so all of that...INFJ. ❤
I feel people’s energy & how it changes when they enter a room. Negative people seem to dislike me & they energy can push me back out the door😳 it’s unreal really I’m like quick select reverse let’s get out of here😂. I’ve got rest of symptoms too. Bit bizzar really. Mind you so is life😂🙏🏻
Yep. I dream about a death before I know it happened too. It’s wild. Sometimes the person comes to me in my dream, other times it’s symbolic but so real that I get genuinely confused as to whether it happened in real life or not. I literally have to keep my friend circle really small and limit my time in public because I get so exhausted from the empathy.
@@lumpyspacecadet they just tell me! When no one else is around! I had 2 home health patients do this. One I really didn't know and was there to be an extra fill in since he was on hospice and needed full time shifts. He kept thinking I was someone else and telling me what he'd want to say to them including that he knew he was dying any minute. He did die quickly after I first met him...or the family, I don't think he had a clue I was there. The other one I'd had a long time. She had stopped eating, drinking and talking. I was giving her a sponge bath in her room and suddenly she would start talking! The first time she asked me to get her coat because her sister was there and they were going to see a movie (her sister was passed away), I just went on with it and told her sure let's just finish getting ready. The second time she was angry at me! She demanded "oh will you just let me go?!?" And I asked her "go where" and she said I knew where she wanted to go. I said try to hold on, you're just sick, we can help you through it, but she knew better. I adored her and gave my first child the same middle name as hers.
I remembered my mom calling me when I was away at college and before she said anything I said "Grandpa's passed on". She asked me how I knew, and I said I just felt it.
We have built in BS detectors, can tell if someone is shady in minutes of meeting them...when everyone else loves them. Seems we can't be fooled, and on the odd occasion wr are hits us 2000 times harder.
#1 is the big one. I was out with a friend once and i could sense he was getting frustrated. I thought it was directed at me and i couldn't figure it out. When we sat down to eat at the food court he explained that his spouse was supposed to pick him up but isn't responding to texts. Thats what was making him frustrated - nothing to do with me at all
I can't watch movies where someone is hurt or being abused. I can feel it even if its just a story. Also feel others emotions, it can be very exhausting.
How I wish I never saw Schindler's List. All these years later there are some scenes which still haunt me, knowing that the story was based on real life. By the same token, I'm so glad I never saw Titanic.
Same. I only watch comedies if I watch anything at all. I prefer books and music since I can paint the picture I want on my own. Still upbeat though. I have a very low tolerance for romantic or sad songs.
This happened to me when I was a kid my brother was in a whole nother classroom and he hurt his arm and I started crying at the same time because I felt it.
Someone tell me if you feel this? Hearing your type described in this video make you feel better about yourself? Probably not.. probably because the moment you feel proud, you immediately hold back because you’re also a very humble soul? And that you also hope no one out there is trying to impersonate us, but then realize that that’s not soo bad because if they succeed, they’ll be a better person for it? Or that you’re here because you need validation, a refresher that reminds you of who you are naturally when you’ve given yourself away way too much and you’ve forgotten who you are… so here you are getting grounded in your element. INFJ - You’re a wonderful soul and a shining sparkling light. Most of all, don’t forget to keep yourself happy, too.
#6: I definitely have made more than one major life decision that everyone who knows me was completely baffled by but to me seemed perfectly reasonable and warranted given the complex situation and needs of everyone involved (especially mine).
Yup, spot on. I'm a number 7 numerically too so very spiritual. Love my tarot and oracle cards and I use them a lot for direction. The guidance from them is amazing. I call them my two way prayer. Thank you for this channel, it's lovely supportive information. A big hug to all fellow INFJ's out there. X
Excellent character traits to emulate whatever type someone is, but it’s easy and intuitive to be this way as an INFJ. We are in our natural element here amongst all. Treasure yourself and be yourself! You’re enough ❤
Yep! My husband and I are together because I followed that bizzare tug you get deep down in your core. That feeling that won't let you settle. Long story...but I'm sure other INFJ's know the sensation I'm talking about. You just "know" things...and sometimes it can get a bit spooky feeling.
I experience everything mentioned, except I don’t physically feel the pains of others. It was not long ago I realised I’m an INFJ, it was when I started to examine why I very often know what will happen. I think about a person I’ve not thought about for months or years - 5 minutes later that person calls on the phone. Things like this happens every week for me. Did a few tests and I am clearly INFJ and it’s kinda relieving to get some answers. I think INFJs are the most contradictory personality type, I’m even confused by myself many times. 😅
Being judged by other people in the room... I still have anxiety when I had only like 20 minutes for a short presentation. It has to be good or I would make a "bad impression". It's bad to think that way but when I'm unsure if it goes well I feel extra nervous about what others will think about it. Being around a lot of people is slightly uncomfortable for me even today. I still believe that everything happens with a reason even when we don't know what it actually means. To be honest I don't even know my personality type as an introverted person myself. In the end of the day it doesn't matter that much because I see everyone as an individual. They will fit in the personality type situation at some point but everyone is so different. They would be sorted like a color coded closet or something...
This is the first I've seen of your videos, PERFECT! I've been aware of myself forever, this was a nice reminder that I'm not alone. I really just wanted you to know how funny it struck me that you call us Psychos, so casually! 😂 only a psycho could call another a psycho and it not be offensive!! 😂 and at the same time, I'm rarely caught off-gaurd. You just made my day, I'm actually giggling!! 😂
Wow. Thank you for sharing the spot-light effect. I really noticed it in my 20s and 30s so much I would have neck spasms when taking a sip of water during a big work meeting. I felt like people were watching me. Now in my 50s it is not so apparent but still there.
Taking on others feelings and suffering is called transference. It's rare and can be good or not depending on the situation and why one does it. We can't always not do it.
Your channel has served up a consistently high level of thought-provoking content. I resonate with everything you mentioned. I also practice Telekinesis; which I believe, requires a very high level of intuition and empathy.
Telekinesis is moving objects with your mind… is that what you are referring to? Or are you referring to “telepathy”, which is essentially “mind reading”? I would assume you meant the latter given that you mentioned “intuition and empathy”
Most of the examples about INFJ in this video also apply to me, e.g. being able to feel the people's pain, paying close attention to symbols and synchronicity, then also avoiding conflict. Thank you so much 🙏😊
I always felt like I was an empath. Immediately feeling someone’s emotions or their physical response so strongly, so rapidly. But I also have a hard time believing that I have some “power”. I love the psychology behind what I could more realistically be experiencing as an INFJ 💜
Sometimes, it’s ADHD (learned behavior in an abusive relationship) so you are “feeling” what you’ve been abused by. I’ve also discovered narcs pretend to be INFJ and empaths fall for it… it happens. PS ENFPs are also empaths 😉 Less narc tho.
There is no such thing as an "empath", and I advise you to be careful with that lest you become one of the thousands of people who claim to be empaths but are clearly and by definition narcissists. Everyone who isn't a sociopath experiences empathy. And many many people experience it strongly. Even us INFJs who experience it very strongly are just human. I know too many people who believed they are an empath and ended up alienating themselves from everyone we knew because they became delusional. They became arrogant and absurd about their empathic "abilities", which turned out to be wrong in many instances.
Long story short, I walk 30 mins to get to a dance class in the afternoon. One night, I could not for the life of me go pass my mailbox. It's like an imaginary brick wall stops me from moving forward. I went back to my house, only to wake up the next day that a prison escapee was hiding in our neighbourhood.
It makes people very triggering. Being able to see beyond thier initial presentation to thier motives & have clear sight of thier emotions, even when they maybe dont recognise themselves. I feel few people r trustworthy or perceptive enough. Also dealing with peoples suspicious reactions when u know things theyd rather not have to deal with. 🤷
I just recently discovered the 16 traits. In high school I studied astrology . My natal chart. Aquarius with a Scorpio rising, Pisces moon. My sun is in the natural house of Gemini. Interesting that you mentioned them. I also have ADD PI.
I am 100% like the video describes. It comes into play more with my intimate and energy vampire tendencies. I observe others doing things to each other ( kissing, hugging, ect.) and due to my intuition/empathy, I can feel it intensely. When it's obvious that people are enjoying themselves, I sit back and imagine I am sending out vines or tentacles that harvest the energy. So, they dance or laugh at a joke and I feel the reverberations. Any of you do that too?
This is 100% me, especially the empathy aspect of it. & the very first one, and someone says to be "but how did you know"? When someone ready to break, mentally, I feel like I pick up those broken pieces and take them on myself. I hate going out in public, or go to a party. I come home exhausted! I take on their negative emotions, on top of my own anxieties, on top of the anger, excitement of the party/gathering) Picking up on the energy, knowing when somethings wrong, knowing when to leave.
Yes, I have experienced most of these myself, and I learned, through studying alone, that I am an INFJ. All these are correct, most of them I myself have experienced, and I have learned that INTJs also can do some of these things, and some similar but not exactly the same things since they have Ni Te instead of Ni Fe.
I often get the feeling out in public as if I can hear every voice in a 3 block area, I obviously can't, but I think I am picking up all the different energies, it's overwelming
Thank you so much for putting into words what we INFJs experience. Only now, at 79 years young, do I find all that you refer to as true. Hello, all my INFJs. We are such a special group. Glad you are out there helping others. Namaste!😍
I love that for a long rime i thought i was just weird and didnt fit in with anyone around me. O am glad that im not alone, and becoming older, i decided ro do a personality test, and im not the only one. I am so happy that there are others lile me. It makes me feel less alone and weird
I knew I was an empath when I was young riding on the city bus and an old woman climbed on with her walker, stooped over in pain. My whole back started hurting so bad.
It really pisses me off when it's clear anger is dripping from someone and they deny it. As with the negative energy Spotlight, well if you hold back and keep things to yourself, I have found people just make things up and spread gossip. Many people don't like INFJs. They don't run with the crowd.
I am an older female who shared a really fun Dirtwire concert at the Dillon amphitheater up in the Rocky Mountains. It was blast and to enhance the night we did some mushrooms in chocolate. Highest dose I’ve tried and reading the micro expressions and subtle movements of many of the folks sharing the night with us was trippy. I already read people very well but the time wrapping, hyper focus, and pattern recognition during that time was to put it mildly quite trippy. What a 10:22 fun night and cool perspective! And man the night sky, the lightning show for part of it, and Dillon reservoir were absolutely beautiful. Dirtwire was a trip too opening with a didgeridoo and highlight for me Dirtwire with the black lodge singers and the Larry Yazzie dancing to Intertribal. It was very cool! Brought back lots of awesome Pow Wow memories from Montana and some of our friends in Missoula.
I’m a infj and I have to tell people I’m not a psych or a medium sometimes cause I can predict what’s going to happen before it happens. I just have an extreme awareness and can pick up small details of people/ animals, as well as, the vibes they give off. Even when I was younger I realized “oh they need blank or I need to show them I’m blank because they are saying or doing this behavior/ action” so I learned how to adapt my behavior to fit the situation, not in a manipulated or calculated way, but to know how I can take actions to prevent them from being hurt or to make it a pleasant experience for that person. I do sometimes psychoanalysis when I first meet people and don’t mean too because it’s just second nature at this point. Even as a young child I can’t watch people getting hurt or even when people are describing bad things that happen to them I cringe and can’t help but squirm cause I’m imagining it in my head it’s like I’m witnessing it happening in real time. Like for instance I couldn’t watch funnest home videos as a kid (and still to this day) because it would make me cry and upset to watch people feel embarrassed or hurt.
I can see within a person's face if they are about to die. Not getting hit by a car, or anything like that, but if they are sick and it will lead to their very immanent death. I can see it in an already dead person's past photos or videos, too.
It is true about feeling others pain. Being a Mom of three children it was really important to know if my children just had a cold or was it turning into Pneumonia. I was always on the lookout. I have called people and told them that they no longer had a cold but pneumonia because of where it hurt my lungs. I talked to someone once and I could tell her very life depended on her seeing a doctor. When she went it would have been the very worst case of pneumonia I had ever personally encountered
This all is so accurate that it seems terrifying to know there are that many people just like me. I would also note the subtypes from this personality. I am of the chaotic subtype.
I got glasses at a older age and I thought everyone saw trees as blurry as I did. Today I found out I have this personality type and it's a huge relief honestly ... I thought I was an alien or Jesus or some savor. Think Dune God emperor or Transformordian from Vonnegut. It's not as cool as this video makes it out. I have heard strangers wholes lives while wrapping silverware in my moms restaurant at 6 years of age. I can just feel a whole persons life by walking past them.
True, being an INFJ doesn't make you Jesus. But understanding others quickly is an advantage, which makes it possible to help people, when you want to 😊
I have experienced all of these. It does explain why watching movies/TV is so difficult for me. Now that I live alone, the TV is a a back room where I have to go to it if I want some entertainment and I am in charge of what I watch. But even if I seen and enjoyed a movie, I will fast fwd through those parts that are too emotionally charged for me.
You did a very good job. Thanks to all of you who put this together. Gratitude is crucial to happiness. I ran from myself. For a long time only to run into me.
today i pased a house fire, while on the bus home and burst into tears. it had already been tough, saw my friend with endomytricis, so had been doubled in pain already
Im starting to think I'm an INFJ type. To other INFJs how many of you are able to talk to the dead/ghosts? Everything that was said here for me is spot on. I can feel bad energies in a crowded place like there's no tomorrow. I can feel good energies like there's no tomorrow. I've been able to communicate with the Universe for as long as I've been alive. But in the last 10 years its become something so powerful, that I can't stop the conversations taking place so easily. It's been leaving me very.... drained.
Hey PSYCH-Os!👋
*So what's the strangest phenomenon you've expreinced as an INFJ type?*
Comment down below 👇
Excellent Video! Thank you! All Of Them! This Video Has Been Very Helpful!
seeing things move around, nobody else sees.
I was a clairvoyant kid with dreams that I had to translate. The clairvoyance got weaker as I've gotten older.
I can telepathically see, hear and/or feel other people's pain and feelings.
My dreams are complex and they reveal answers that I never saw coming. I am very good at dream interpretation. But that’s not the weirdest thing. The weirdest thing is when I purposely give someone an INFJ stare. In that moment I open my emotions and push them over to the other person. Simply put, I put my emotions in my face. And they are shocked at first, overwhelmed, scared, and confused because they are feeling the weight of the situation-the deeper meaning. Then they are relieved and they are deeply moved in some way. It’s very rare. INFJ’s hate to open themselves up. We usually just take energy from others, with that energy usually being sadness, hopelessness, etc. But when we do the INFJ stare we are a mirror. It is as if we show the person, this is what I see when I look through you. This is who you really are. This is the truth of it. I see who you REALLY are, and I am still standing here. Sometimes we do it to protect ourselves, but more often we do it to help the other person. Once I did it to a guy who was thinking of attacking me. I let him see inside me. What he saw was no fear. He saw someone who mirrored him. He saw a predator. It was 💯 INFJ rage. Silent, cold, and potentially deadly. He kept walking because he saw something he recognized which was a total lack of emotion. We can take emotion in, project emotion, and we can also completely turn emotion off. I stared him down with zero emotion like a mountain lion or any other predator. And my face said what I wanted it to say: I’m dangerous. I see your evil and I’m not afraid. One of us will die. I’m not like you. I’m not afraid of death. I can feel your trepidation and I can reflect it back to you so you can see your weakness too. Do you like that bitch? He wasn’t shocked or confused. He understood me perfectly. He was tall and he outweighed me. He was thinking about his odds. He was thinking about self-preservation. He was doing risk assessment in his head, like someone working out a math equation. But he couldn’t concentrate because of my INFJ stare. It was throwing him off. He had zero empathy, guilt, conscious, etc. He was pure evil, and he kept walking. And he’s not the evilest person I ever stared down either. INFJ’s can tap into this mode when we just don’t give a shit. That’s INFJ rage. It doesn’t mean we yell, scream, or throw things. We don’t have boundaries like regular people. If someone crosses us big time, we will destroy them by using their weaknesses against them and taking what they love (because we understand manipulation sooo well). But most of the time, almost all the time, we are just helping other people.
People ask me "How did you know?!!" And, I wonder how the hell they missed all the signs.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
RIGHT!
Right
YES!!!!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Especially when you give them the 411 and they don't believe you. Then you drop hints and STILL nothing... THEN two years later they're like.... "You were right....."
Like I don't have enough paper or crayons for this!
🙄😬🤦♀
Literally, my life story.
This
Empathy can be malignant. We have to be selective who we have empathy for. I’ve definitely learned this personally.
Me as well.
Spent way to much time giving empathy to someone who used it against me, still recovering, still scared to trust
OBSERVE DONT ABSORD ❤
@@MusicbyDiVa hard learned but is a must
Yes, but only way is to swim in the deep sea of opportunists to reveal those who truly deserve.
One other thing about EMPATH s /INFJ ‘S , WHEN we have reached beyond our limit of patience and all the “dust” settles we are DONE,there isn’t anymore to give ! And we mentally walk away !🚶♀️🚶🏼🚶🏼🚶♀️There is no more forgiveness left ! 🙀👵🏻😱🖖🏼👽🐲
That’s right. That person or situation no longer exists for me once I’ve reached that point.
That’s right. I had this experience.
This is so true 🥲
Feel like I’m from a whole different planet. I can understand everyone I encounter, but they can’t understand a thing about me
Same here!
I have been telling people since I was I kid that I can't watch sports injury replaces or anything where someone is getting hurt to the extend I can see it. It feel pain shoot through my body.
@Jguthro same I find that those "funny" videos of people falling or getting hurt in some manner aren't funny at all.... I can feel the pain through the screen.
I often joke that I'm an alien 👽
Same feeling here!
Being too aware of everything around me. It's almost like I get notified when something changes. And sometimes there are too many "notifications" coming in. It's scary how much information is embedded in the way someone looks at you.
Well Said!
I love the way you worded this. Thank you.
Omg! This is so me. I’m in this constant state of hyper vigilance, even when the situation doesn’t need it. I can’t turn off those notifications or my reactions to those notifications until I just get overstimulated and need alone time… the only time I can mute those notifications and return to normal.
It's just another day as an INFJ. 😊 I don't take it for granted, but I don't question it either.
- knowing when a conversation is about to end, about 10-15 seconds before hand.
- sensing what a person means, even when they use the wrong words.
- able to recognize when two people are not understanding each other, and knowing the right words to clear up the confusion.
- sensing when a person or group don't get what I'm saying, though I often don't know how to explain it so that they do.
- knowing a person on a deep, unexplainable level when they share a memory that they loved as a child.
Being an INFJ is like swimming in an ocean of energies. We feel at home in that ocean, find the current that suits us, settle in and are annoyed by any one or any event that disrupts our harmony.
This is so spot on! It plays a lot into why I don't like large gatherings. The anxiety, emotions and awareness makes it all too much at times. I will tell my partner something about someone by just watching them for a few moments. He thinks I'm crazy, but then days later he comes back and says "you know what so and so did/said today? You were right!"
Happens all of the time. I've actually learned to just wait for it now.😏
Christmas is the worst. You will not catch me anywhere near a mall or stores. I do my shopping in the summer. I AVOID work Christmas parties. People think I'm antisocial. I love Christmas, just not in public.
Social gatherings are always exhausting... feeling the strong conflicting emotions , energies& dynamics in the environment. I become drained... find myself looking for hostess tasks to distract me. Or find a polite reason to leave.
Infjs are really sensitive to noises.... Given this I wonder why so many You Tube presentations on the infj personality have such repetitive and annoying background noises as this one does.
Omg thank you! So many videos have severely irritating and totally unnecessary extra music, fast editing, and grating voice overs. It's awful.
Yes, everything means something, when I see numbers, patterns, letters etc… I don’t see myself as psychic or anything, but others ask me if I am. I see patterns in everything though.
I can relate 100%. I'm an Infj as well❤
@jenniferc1671,I've been told by psychic's for 50 + years,'what have you come to see me for' ?, 'because do you know you are psychic too', ,or told by them you are a round hole in a square peg,but don't ever change your personality for anyone else!.I do not believe in coincidence's either,so he's spot on with that too .
@jcoop49 I have to say that we are quite fascinating individuals. I wouldn't change my life nor myself for anything, and y'all shouldn't either. I love watching these videos because their too spot on.💖
We read people through our intuition. It’s weird, but we just know. 😕
That is because there are patterns in everything you see.
I’ve taken the MBTI test several times and the result has always been INFJ. However, just like how you’ve mentioned that we do not want someone to be angry, I’m just puzzled why do I get easily angry when someone doesn’t get my point that i’m passionate about? I end up bursting and eventually be blamed for being conceited? I think it would have been better if this video includes how sometimes the dark side of INFJ takes over and not just the overrated good traits coz no one is that perfect. Having two contradicting emotions/thoughts at the same time is a phenomenon for me and it happens everyday.
I’d love to _know_ the answer to that, myself. I can guess it’s that you expect them to process information like you do. But INFJ’s are very intricate and often opaque (even to themselves) in their thinking process. Maybe you’re not explaining it in a way they’d understand. Maybe you’re wrong in your thinking, or your conclusions. Maybe you’re right, but it’s not possible to convince them. How I could go on about the last part..
I can ask this for sure: Does your anger in a given moment make sense? In other words, should you even be angry about it? Are you extrapolating your thoughts in connection with reality? Are you sure? Are you even capable of catching yourself in the moment and detecting if your anger makes sense, that it’s justifiable in the grand scheme of things, or are you simply incapable of anything less than, “I am angry right now, therefore I am right to be”? There’s someone I know who, for whatever reason, became someone I had to grey rock like a narcissist (maybe she became one, but she wasn’t like this, once) out of how hair trigger her temper became, almost always over the smallest things that had no bearing in anything, but she saw otherwise. She justified her anger when it really wasn’t, often to the point her voice would be wrecked for a couple of days, but good luck convincing a raging woman that her anger is irrational. Oh, you occasionally express your regret and apologies for the tirade, but only the day after. Like, that’s going to help fix things? Then it keeps happening, and each time, in the moment, you justify yourself like you never internalized any lessons? golly, I have so much contempt.
@@EMichaelBall what usually happens is that my intuition kicks in then i share it to others with all the possible justifications I’m seeing and they just pretended to listen. Then that thing happened which affected us all but they failed to recognise that I’ve been telling that all along. I don’t know if it’s ego or they find it so hard to believe something that doesn’t fit their logic. Then when I share another one of my intuitions they gave the same face/expression and its just frustrating that I would just close my eyes to calm my self. I can’t just let go of the intuition coz if that happens, it will affect me and the only people who can stop it are the people I’m sharing those intuitions to. Another instance would be when I’m sharing my thoughts about a topic to someone after hearing their side, the other person won’t even address the points I’m raising and would just go back to their initial argument which I’m nullifying with the points Ive shared. INFJs are known to be balance and listens/thinks all the possible outcome. Just a slight hint of that balance from the other person is all I’m looking for but they tend to push over what I’ve said until it’s too late and it started happening.
We INFJs have a deep desire to be understood so we have a tendency to over explain. I don't know all of the science behind it but I know from experience that this tendency can cause a lot of frustration on both the INFJ and the listener. Remembering that not everybody thinks the way that you do is extremely helpful in these situations. Also, don't be so hard on yourself we are all human beings
@@teresaphillips9692 i agree but at times it takes the better of us and we lose it then regret our actions. How i salute people that can keep calm at all times but I’m learning and trying that. Lol
@@joserowellcorro8683 how right you are!! However, there is only one way to form a habit and that is by repetitive action. Since INFJs are not endowed with perfect patience (I don't think I would trust anybody that was) we have to struggle with ourselves to obtain any amount of patients... for ourselves
You hit the nail on the head with this comment:
"In fact, sometimes their findings are so ridiculous that they tend to get in the habit of keeping their findings to themselves to allow others to come to their own realizations naturally."
I guess it's because the truth is stranger then fiction that INFJs get in the habit of as you say, "keeping our findings to ourselves." Sometimes I think online conversations give us the impression that everyone will be in the state of denial if that is what we generally come accross online, so we "keep our findings to ourselves." Other times it's just impossible to present all the necesary information that something is the way it is, so we "keep our findings to ourselves." If our minds sifted through 10 volumes of data to reach a certain conclusion, it's not easy to share that much information with others!
They wouldn’t understand even if you could. We are generally not understood. I just tell people that I don’t know why….it’s too exhausting and then you would just get the blank stare.
The spotlight effect is brutal for me 🤯
The thing I struggle with here is not letting these observations and intuitions affect me, either physically or mentally. I have learned to compartmentalize them like a filing system.
I had to start telling myself (especially the recognition of hidden patterns/motives and tying learning in multiple subject into one area to see the overall and apply that to current situations to predict outcomes)… if I have no control over that informations future, then cool, recognize it was a fascinating factoid or pattern I’ve recognized and then move on… does no good stressing about a predicted event I have no personal control of except to MAKE ME CRAZY. 🤪 😂❤ even if I do end up right eventually.
I've experienced every single one of those. I'm glad to have been reminded about the "Spotlight Effect". I find it easy to forget that most people don't notice things that I do.
Totally related to all, but especially the sharp shooting pains when seeing/hearing of others pain and knowing exactly that something is "off" about a person or situation yet no one else notices or sees it.
That has created conflict in the past for me as well being labeled suspicious of others. However, nearly every single time I feel this way, eventually it is revealed I was right, even though it sometimes takes a long time for that to be revealed.
As for patterns/numbers, I constantly see the time of my birth when I glance at the clock. It happens so frequently I don't even get surprised by it anymore. Patterns are everywhere for those truly seeing. 😊
Me too! I see 9:11AM and PM every day. 111 is also a common synchronicity I experience.
Sometimes I cry or feel like crying when I'm around some ppl for no obvious reason. I know it's my INFJ empathy but it is very exhausting.
I always say, "Nothing is by coincidence"
SAME!
🎯
The scariest part is I have all the traits mentioned in the video
Well you're most certainly an INFJ in that case lol!
It is a good thing to have this personality.
Pourquoi as tu peur d'être toi-même ? Est ce effrayant d'être soi
@dalelerette206 Same! I'm 34yo male, and I've been an athlete who has worked out my entire life (started with gymnastics and karate at 4😂, football and track lead me to the weights). The gym has always been a form of meditation for me! I too am an INFJ-A, and life is not always easy, so I learned a long time ago that for me the "Gym" helped me to re-enter myself. I think ALL people should find what type of exercise they enjoy, and then make it a constant part of their lives forever. I'm a Heyoka as well, so it's ironic that I have worked and done many things, but I ended up in fitness. It's for myself, as well as the health and happiness I help others with. Very fulfilling in that sense. Hopefully when I reach my 50's, I too can be strong. Anyways, I felt like I resonated with what your comment said. I Hope life is going well 🙏 and stay 💪
I have all traits but I don t really feel pain for me except teeth or headache. I smile when I m hurt and joke,try to don t show. I try to cut empathy to get away bad feelings,it s great for not the person panic and be aware with the good emergency move,i don t have a good feeling but i let it sleep,it s done like stoïcisme even if I do everything for people be safe but that s life sad for olds and children I like people to stay alive and take it as it comes and learn !
Walk toward a room with open doors and sometimes just turn to leave as can FEEL all sorts of bad situations or energy! Must learn to block some of it off. The more we grow the more we can block it.
Everyone can Feel we Feel them and we are Safe to share with. Thank you! Appreciated!
I experience all the ones this video covered. I'm glad that I'm as intuitive as I am, but at the same time, it can get so frustrating wnen others don't believe me or doubt me.
Yes! It's certainly a double edged sword at times 😅
It's painful, yeah. I look at it like, it's why I'm here on this rock at this time. It helps others see that it's all more than just mortgages and dentist appointments and remembering to get more milk. It helps them trust their own intuition. I've always regretted holding back. Not immediately, but eventually, I regret it. I don't regret door-slamming! You gotta EARN that! HAHAHAHAA!
People not believing me or understanding me because operating intuitively I may myself have to think about why I did this or that and it will seem as if I'm lying even if they had access to my mind and can cause people to have fasle verification to there own assumptions
This is me. Did a serious course. For the hospital when I was working in psychology.
Anyone else identify as an empath, raise your hand.
😊
I've turned down job offers at very toxic workplaces. I can just sense the dynamics the minute I walk in. I'm polite during those interviews, but NOPE! I'm so grateful for this particular INFJ superpower. I have experienced them all, and more, though.
what jobs did you like best?
a Common phrase I here is.. How the "F" did you KNOW that..
Yep. Someone melted earlier, how did they meaning others not see it!
It's not the F but the N... you feel but intuition allows you figure out.
Lol
synchronicity and signs isn't so "woo woo", it mostly manifests as just noticing patterns. I unconsciously notice obscure references that repeat in a given day. it rarely means anything but it always feels like there might be some higher, hidden pattern at work with an outcome that hasn't yet been revealed. That or I'm just more "woo woo" than I would like to admit. This was a nice video and it felt reassuring that I am not in fact alone. Thanks
Every single thing mentioned. I could sense another being in my sister-in-law, when sitting next to her. I knew she was pregnant before she did, because I felt the baby's energy. It felt different than hers. When my close friend was pregnant, I was convinced that I was, because I was feeling it physically. I'm so all of that...INFJ. ❤
People. Cant slip in behind me i pick up a presence or vibration / light
Yes, as an INFJ, these phenomenons are my everyday life.
Right!
Surprisingly accurate. 🤔
I feel people’s energy & how it changes when they enter a room. Negative people seem to dislike me & they energy can push me back out the door😳 it’s unreal really I’m like quick select reverse let’s get out of here😂. I’ve got rest of symptoms too. Bit bizzar really. Mind you so is life😂🙏🏻
Yep. I dream about a death before I know it happened too. It’s wild. Sometimes the person comes to me in my dream, other times it’s symbolic but so real that I get genuinely confused as to whether it happened in real life or not.
I literally have to keep my friend circle really small and limit my time in public because I get so exhausted from the empathy.
I can see in a person's face if they are about to die of an serious illness.
@@lumpyspacecadet they just tell me! When no one else is around! I had 2 home health patients do this. One I really didn't know and was there to be an extra fill in since he was on hospice and needed full time shifts. He kept thinking I was someone else and telling me what he'd want to say to them including that he knew he was dying any minute. He did die quickly after I first met him...or the family, I don't think he had a clue I was there. The other one I'd had a long time. She had stopped eating, drinking and talking. I was giving her a sponge bath in her room and suddenly she would start talking! The first time she asked me to get her coat because her sister was there and they were going to see a movie (her sister was passed away), I just went on with it and told her sure let's just finish getting ready. The second time she was angry at me! She demanded "oh will you just let me go?!?" And I asked her "go where" and she said I knew where she wanted to go. I said try to hold on, you're just sick, we can help you through it, but she knew better. I adored her and gave my first child the same middle name as hers.
I remembered my mom calling me when I was away at college and before she said anything I said "Grandpa's passed on". She asked me how I knew, and I said I just felt it.
I also have those dreams. 😢
We have built in BS detectors, can tell if someone is shady in minutes of meeting them...when everyone else loves them.
Seems we can't be fooled, and on the odd occasion wr are hits us 2000 times harder.
#1 is the big one. I was out with a friend once and i could sense he was getting frustrated. I thought it was directed at me and i couldn't figure it out.
When we sat down to eat at the food court he explained that his spouse was supposed to pick him up but isn't responding to texts.
Thats what was making him frustrated - nothing to do with me at all
I can't watch movies where someone is hurt or being abused.
I can feel it even if its just a story.
Also feel others emotions, it can be very exhausting.
I can't watch medical programs where someone is suffering pain, makes me really uncomfortable...
I had to look away at The Passion of the Christ during the crucifixion scene.
How I wish I never saw Schindler's List. All these years later there are some scenes which still haunt me, knowing that the story was based on real life. By the same token, I'm so glad I never saw Titanic.
Same. I only watch comedies if I watch anything at all. I prefer books and music since I can paint the picture I want on my own. Still upbeat though. I have a very low tolerance for romantic or sad songs.
Somethings just cant be unseen once viewed and so remains the pain
Sad or negative feelings and behaviors from others is hard to stand for INFJs to not get sick from. It's to handle careful.
💯
This happened to me when I was a kid my brother was in a whole nother classroom and he hurt his arm and I started crying at the same time because I felt it.
Someone tell me if you feel this? Hearing your type described in this video make you feel better about yourself? Probably not.. probably because the moment you feel proud, you immediately hold back because you’re also a very humble soul? And that you also hope no one out there is trying to impersonate us, but then realize that that’s not soo bad because if they succeed, they’ll be a better person for it? Or that you’re here because you need validation, a refresher that reminds you of who you are naturally when you’ve given yourself away way too much and you’ve forgotten who you are… so here you are getting grounded in your element. INFJ - You’re a wonderful soul and a shining sparkling light. Most of all, don’t forget to keep yourself happy, too.
Beautifully said
"these weird phenomenons" make life hard for me daily
Learn to embrace it and life will be so much easier.
The spotlight effect is so true. I always experienced this all the time, Its actually so annoying tho.
#6: I definitely have made more than one major life decision that everyone who knows me was completely baffled by but to me seemed perfectly reasonable and warranted given the complex situation and needs of everyone involved (especially mine).
Yup, spot on. I'm a number 7 numerically too so very spiritual. Love my tarot and oracle cards and I use them a lot for direction. The guidance from them is amazing. I call them my two way prayer. Thank you for this channel, it's lovely supportive information. A big hug to all fellow INFJ's out there. X
Excellent character traits to emulate whatever type someone is, but it’s easy and intuitive to be this way as an INFJ. We are in our natural element here amongst all. Treasure yourself and be yourself! You’re enough ❤
❤️
Yes I have. ThankYou for articulating it for me.
Amazing, you're most welcome - and thank you for the feedback!
Absolutely spot on ❤
Yep! My husband and I are together because I followed that bizzare tug you get deep down in your core. That feeling that won't let you settle. Long story...but I'm sure other INFJ's know the sensation I'm talking about. You just "know" things...and sometimes it can get a bit spooky feeling.
I experience everything mentioned, except I don’t physically feel the pains of others.
It was not long ago I realised I’m an INFJ, it was when I started to examine why I very often know what will happen. I think about a person I’ve not thought about for months or years - 5 minutes later that person calls on the phone.
Things like this happens every week for me.
Did a few tests and I am clearly INFJ and it’s kinda relieving to get some answers. I think INFJs are the most contradictory personality type, I’m even confused by myself many times. 😅
I have definitely experienced all of them yesterday
Coming from a male infj-t, I can sense someone's problem based on their behavior and reactions within their own thoughts
Being judged by other people in the room... I still have anxiety when I had only like 20 minutes for a short presentation. It has to be good or I would make a "bad impression". It's bad to think that way but when I'm unsure if it goes well I feel extra nervous about what others will think about it. Being around a lot of people is slightly uncomfortable for me even today.
I still believe that everything happens with a reason even when we don't know what it actually means. To be honest I don't even know my personality type as an introverted person myself. In the end of the day it doesn't matter that much because I see everyone as an individual. They will fit in the personality type situation at some point but everyone is so different. They would be sorted like a color coded closet or something...
I love all of my traits…except the one where I absorb someone else’s emotional pain 🥺
It can be very powerful to others if you learn how to use this wisely. A double edge sword - read "The Empath Survival Guide" by Judith Orloff.
I am using my intuition that not taking a well paid nursing position to pursue a dream will be the right one. I also know I have no choice.
I guess I'm not nuts for experiencing any pain my children have when they're not with me.
#2 I thought was normal. I cover my ears mid-way now & apologize afterwards explaining "Sorry but I'm not trying to feel that.." 😩😩
Yes of course! I’m an INFJ all my life. How could I not.
This is the first I've seen of your videos, PERFECT! I've been aware of myself forever, this was a nice reminder that I'm not alone. I really just wanted you to know how funny it struck me that you call us Psychos, so casually! 😂 only a psycho could call another a psycho and it not be offensive!! 😂 and at the same time, I'm rarely caught off-gaurd. You just made my day, I'm actually giggling!! 😂
Wow. Thank you for sharing the spot-light effect. I really noticed it in my 20s and 30s so much I would have neck spasms when taking a sip of water during a big work meeting. I felt like people were watching me. Now in my 50s it is not so apparent but still there.
Taking on others feelings and suffering is called transference. It's rare and can be good or not depending on the situation and why one does it. We can't always not do it.
I wish there was an off switch to transference/empathy at times!
@@DeeDeex007o There is. Recognize it. First step. Turn it off if you feel like it.
@@DeeDeex007o You, even an INFJ, are not at the mercy of other people's emotions.
@@annaleabrown4588 Obviously. It's not that easy to do with people I actually care about. We can only speak for ourselves.
@@annaleabrown4588 You can't be that egoistic to assume all INFJS are just like you. You do not represent the community, KAREN.
Your channel has served up a consistently high level of thought-provoking content. I resonate with everything you mentioned. I also practice Telekinesis; which I believe, requires a very high level of intuition and empathy.
Telekinesis is moving objects with your mind… is that what you are referring to? Or are you referring to “telepathy”, which is essentially “mind reading”? I would assume you meant the latter given that you mentioned “intuition and empathy”
To answer last question
YES
Most of the examples about INFJ in this video also apply to me, e.g. being able to feel the people's pain, paying close attention to symbols and synchronicity, then also avoiding conflict. Thank you so much 🙏😊
I always felt like I was an empath. Immediately feeling someone’s emotions or their physical response so strongly, so rapidly. But I also have a hard time believing that I have some “power”. I love the psychology behind what I could more realistically be experiencing as an INFJ 💜
INFJs *are* empaths. ❤️
@@LifeAdviceSiteThe very often are, and therefore also have a way of attracting narcissists to them. 😱
@@cc1k435 Oh yes! I wish I didn’t know that, but I know it all too well... 😂
Sometimes, it’s ADHD (learned behavior in an abusive relationship) so you are “feeling” what you’ve been abused by.
I’ve also discovered narcs pretend to be INFJ and empaths fall for it… it happens.
PS ENFPs are also empaths 😉 Less narc tho.
There is no such thing as an "empath", and I advise you to be careful with that lest you become one of the thousands of people who claim to be empaths but are clearly and by definition narcissists. Everyone who isn't a sociopath experiences empathy. And many many people experience it strongly. Even us INFJs who experience it very strongly are just human.
I know too many people who believed they are an empath and ended up alienating themselves from everyone we knew because they became delusional. They became arrogant and absurd about their empathic "abilities", which turned out to be wrong in many instances.
Long story short, I walk 30 mins to get to a dance class in the afternoon. One night, I could not for the life of me go pass my mailbox. It's like an imaginary brick wall stops me from moving forward. I went back to my house, only to wake up the next day that a prison escapee was hiding in our neighbourhood.
To INFJs, I adore you. Sincerely, an INTP.
1000% correct! My word!
It makes people very triggering. Being able to see beyond thier initial presentation to thier motives & have clear sight of thier emotions, even when they maybe dont recognise themselves. I feel few people r trustworthy or perceptive enough. Also dealing with peoples suspicious reactions when u know things theyd rather not have to deal with. 🤷
I suspect that many INFJs are Aquarians, Scorpios, Cancers, Geminis & the odd Pisces ?
I just recently discovered the 16 traits. In high school I studied astrology . My natal chart. Aquarius with a Scorpio rising, Pisces moon. My sun is in the natural house of Gemini. Interesting that you mentioned them. I also have ADD PI.
I am an Aries and an INFJ.
@@cellinischannel4766 awesome - love Aries👵🏽✌🏾🩵
Brilliant, and an eerie reflection os my own life experience , in chronological order. I like it.
On point!
Thank you! 🙌
I am 100% like the video describes. It comes into play more with my intimate and energy vampire tendencies. I observe others doing things to each other ( kissing, hugging, ect.) and due to my intuition/empathy, I can feel it intensely.
When it's obvious that people are enjoying themselves, I sit back and imagine I am sending out vines or tentacles that harvest the energy. So, they dance or laugh at a joke and I feel the reverberations. Any of you do that too?
I can recognize that! Sometimes feeling down, I 'steel smiles' fom people passing me in the street (and often they smile back!) 😊
This is 100% me, especially the empathy aspect of it.
& the very first one, and someone says to be "but how did you know"? When someone ready to break, mentally, I feel like I pick up those broken pieces and take them on myself. I hate going out in public, or go to a party. I come home exhausted! I take on their negative emotions, on top of my own anxieties, on top of the anger, excitement of the party/gathering)
Picking up on the energy, knowing when somethings wrong, knowing when to leave.
Yes, I have experienced most of these myself, and I learned, through studying alone, that I am an INFJ. All these are correct, most of them I myself have experienced, and I have learned that INTJs also can do some of these things, and some similar but not exactly the same things since they have Ni Te instead of Ni Fe.
I often get the feeling out in public as if I can hear every voice in a 3 block area, I obviously can't, but I think I am picking up all the different energies, it's overwelming
Thank you so much for putting into words what we INFJs experience. Only now, at 79 years young, do I find all that you refer to as true.
Hello, all my INFJs. We are such a special group. Glad you are out there helping others. Namaste!😍
I love that for a long rime i thought i was just weird and didnt fit in with anyone around me. O am glad that im not alone, and becoming older, i decided ro do a personality test, and im not the only one. I am so happy that there are others lile me. It makes me feel less alone and weird
I thought when I took the test and got INFJ I might have messed up some answers. But all of those apply to me. 😊
Good one! Thank you
I knew I was an empath when I was young riding on the city bus and an old woman climbed on with her walker, stooped over in pain. My whole back started hurting so bad.
I've experienced ALL of these things...though I never considered them "phenomena". I just thought it was ME!
It really pisses me off when it's clear anger is dripping from someone and they deny it. As with the negative energy
Spotlight, well if you hold back and keep things to yourself, I have found people just make things up and spread gossip. Many people don't like INFJs. They don't run with the crowd.
I am an older female who shared a really fun Dirtwire concert at the Dillon amphitheater up in the Rocky Mountains. It was blast and to enhance the night we did some mushrooms in chocolate. Highest dose I’ve tried and reading the micro expressions and subtle movements of many of the folks sharing the night with us was trippy. I already read people very well but the time wrapping, hyper focus, and pattern recognition during that time was to put it mildly quite trippy. What a 10:22 fun night and cool perspective! And man the night sky, the lightning show for part of it, and Dillon reservoir were absolutely beautiful. Dirtwire was a trip too opening with a didgeridoo and highlight for me Dirtwire with the black lodge singers and the Larry Yazzie dancing to Intertribal. It was very cool! Brought back lots of awesome Pow Wow memories from Montana and some of our friends in Missoula.
I’m a infj and I have to tell people I’m not a psych or a medium sometimes cause I can predict what’s going to happen before it happens. I just have an extreme awareness and can pick up small details of people/ animals, as well as, the vibes they give off. Even when I was younger I realized “oh they need blank or I need to
show them I’m blank because they are saying or doing this behavior/ action” so I learned how to adapt my behavior to fit the situation, not in a manipulated or calculated way, but to know how I can take actions to prevent them from being hurt or to make it a pleasant experience for that person. I do sometimes psychoanalysis when I first meet people and don’t mean too because it’s just second nature at this point. Even as a young child I can’t watch people getting hurt or even when people are describing bad things that happen to them I cringe and can’t help but squirm cause I’m imagining it in my head it’s like I’m witnessing it happening in real time. Like for instance I couldn’t watch funnest home videos as a kid (and still to this day) because it would make me cry and upset to watch people feel embarrassed or hurt.
I can see within a person's face if they are about to die. Not getting hit by a car, or anything like that, but if they are sick and it will lead to their very immanent death. I can see it in an already dead person's past photos or videos, too.
It is true about feeling others pain.
Being a Mom of three children it was really important to know if my children just had a cold or was it turning into Pneumonia. I was always on the lookout. I have called people and told them that they no longer had a cold but pneumonia because of where it hurt my lungs. I talked to someone once and I could tell her very life depended on her seeing a doctor. When she went it would have been the very worst case of pneumonia I had ever personally encountered
I totally relate to all of these things though. I’ve forgot which type I am but I think I know the answer thanks to this
This all is so accurate that it seems terrifying to know there are that many people just like me. I would also note the subtypes from this personality. I am of the chaotic subtype.
Wow this is so accurate
All of them. And knowing if something, a place I've just gone into,... feels "buggy" to gtfo.
I got glasses at a older age and I thought everyone saw trees as blurry as I did. Today I found out I have this personality type and it's a huge relief honestly ... I thought I was an alien or Jesus or some savor. Think Dune God emperor or Transformordian from Vonnegut. It's not as cool as this video makes it out. I have heard strangers wholes lives while wrapping silverware in my moms restaurant at 6 years of age. I can just feel a whole persons life by walking past them.
I know exactly what you mean...
True, being an INFJ doesn't make you Jesus. But understanding others quickly is an advantage, which makes it possible to help people, when you want to 😊
Maybe Jesus made us INFJs.
Wow I've got all of them ty for helping me make sense of things❤❤❤
I am an INFJ and this was so accurate for me
All of above & I experience street light interference phenomenon
I have experienced all of these. It does explain why watching movies/TV is so difficult for me. Now that I live alone, the TV is a a back room where I have to go to it if I want some entertainment and I am in charge of what I watch. But even if I seen and enjoyed a movie, I will fast fwd through those parts that are too emotionally charged for me.
I am INFJ, my sister is ENFJ - we both always know and often wonder how other people didn't see what we do.
Omg this is me thought I was the only one whenever I am around people who have some sort of pain or sickness I take on as it was my own
You did a very good job. Thanks to all of you who put this together. Gratitude is crucial to happiness. I ran from myself. For a long time only to run into me.
This is how I am just now understanding the suspicions I had about my ex were indeed the truth.
today i pased a house fire, while on the bus home and burst into tears. it had already been tough, saw my friend with endomytricis, so had been doubled in pain already
This describes me to a T...it's spot on! Thank you!
Thanks for this. I thought i was an INTP until recently so thos vodeo helps me recognize im actually INFJ.
Im starting to think I'm an INFJ type. To other INFJs how many of you are able to talk to the dead/ghosts? Everything that was said here for me is spot on. I can feel bad energies in a crowded place like there's no tomorrow. I can feel good energies like there's no tomorrow. I've been able to communicate with the Universe for as long as I've been alive. But in the last 10 years its become something so powerful, that I can't stop the conversations taking place so easily. It's been leaving me very.... drained.
