As an INFJ, my core values will remain the same. But my ability to empathize and understand others makes it easy to adapt and exist in the plane with them to create that social harmony and connectivity. Once those core values get crossed, that connection breaks and I snap back into that true nature that believes values come before anything. People often become shocked by this. But I think we’re always so authentic. I love speaking with and socializing with other INFJ’s. They’re so multifaceted.
I think the wiser you get, the more you naturally steer toward authenticity. At this point in my life, I don’t bother with much unless it has meaning to me, or it gives me new experiences/perspectives or allows me to help others. The desire to mold what you say or how you behave to others is always there, but I now can actively choose how much I want to follow that impulse or ignore it all together. I’ll never be outwardly rude, but I’ll simply walk away from those situations or people, quite literally.
Sacrificing your authenticity for anything or anyone is too high a cost. I know my Fe understands, it might squirm a little because it thinks I’ve burned a bridge or made someone feel awkward or upset, but it understands. 🙃😂
I think the authenticity of Ti/Fe axis types is their Ti, just as it's the Fi for hte Fi/Te axis people. Both Te and Fe are more prone to say something for a certain result, which is typically perceived to be less authentic. Also, it should be noted that authenticity does not mean it'autoamtically a good thing. Someone can be inauthentic and do the 'right thing', like an Fe might be prone to do.. So the word authenticity is not a word I am that fond of because it gives a certain impression that does not have to be true (which is, that is it is good).
However, if taknig the word somehwat at face value I would go even as far as to question if Fi is actually more 'authentic' than Ti, as individuals with Ti try to find the truth in themselves and around them_without any desire to alter themselves or the world_ whereas with Fi authenticity is much more complex as they can have a sort of imposed standards of _how they wish they would be as a person_ (their ideal) versus the _way they actually and would behave like naturally . So in my view this can quite often result in conflicting situations where they force themselves to do one thing, while their nature screams the opposite. If you look at Ti and Ti-doms types in general I think their authenticity is much more visible, as they just seem to behave like themselves and tend be quite honest without thinking about it too much. Sure, you will get a bit of surface level friendlyness (Fe) from them, but the Ti itself in my view is more authentic than because htere are _no conflicting forces_ at work, as Ti just wants to know what is without any desired outcome. If you analyse yourslef and think you have a bad trait or have more bad than good triats, then that truth is what Ti is after without the direct desire to change it. Fi _wants_ a desired outcome, yet at the same time wants to be their anthentic self. They can even confuse their ideal self for their true self, which simply makes it more conflicting
Ren, you said this so eloquently that I believe you have spoken of how we truly are, with our nuanced way of being and expressing ourselves. INFJ’s Ni is purely individual while being unfathomable to everyone except the rare one who themselves must likewise own this capacity and are capable of showing it through their own range of INFJ functions. I know what authenticity means and am aware that I seek it before attempting any sort of friendship with anyone because my intuition is so highly developed I can read in short time how someone is behaving or projecting. I don’t need to try to be authentic by dint of being it. However,, as you said, Fe in us wants to communicate fluently and coherently with another in the right way, which means we are constantly evaluating what they are saying and how we are responding, and for me it also means mentally checking I said it alright so as not to offend nor give too much of myself at the same time. There’s a continual balancing act going on between what we intuit and what our other functions are informing us at any time. One thing I know for sure and that is who to steer clear from at all costs, and who is safe to be with. The latter are few indeed.
Fish never think about being underwater?
Authenticity can be hard for INFJs in one respect; it might cause social disharmony and hurt Fe. Also, we are known as social chameleons. But when we need or want to be, we can be very authentic. Lack of subjectivity can also make authenticity an issue.
Love this take, Ren. Your Pi is powerful 💪🏻
You can have extroverted feeling without acting upon it, that is when you're most authentic
I agree with you, though I would replace "acting upon it" with "taking advantage of it in cynical ways".
Do you consider yourself INFJ? Because I never met one with such an advertisement ease, should I say
How would you compare Ni's authenticity of INFJ compared to Ne of ENTP
In theory I'd say that introverted functions in general tend to be authentic. However, the ideas that ENTP might propose are often just that; Just ideas. So if they not present htem as super authentic ideas, they cna be fine. However, Ne and Fe both at higher functions than Ti and Si can make them behave in ways people might consider inauthentic. For example, when they plays devils advocate and basically argue against themselves.
However, it remains a bit uncertain if a person who actually _desires_ to plays devils advocate is really inauthentic..or are they authentic? The same argument could be made for Fe and Te too, as that is their primary way of interting with the world. If Te or Fe doms they would suddenly rely on their introverted functions, then is that authentic?
What Red Bull said - I think introverted functions correlate more with authenticity motives (so here the ENTP's Ti).
Funny, You give a very strong ENFP vibes ;) are You sure You are INFJ ? I sense NeFiTeSi .. and INFJ of you more of a shadow ...
Can you do a video on Socionics? I watched a video and it makes no sense to me.
I want to make a video on Socionics, yes. Even multiple ones. I'm just not quite at that level of basic command of the system yet. It's something I've been putting off since forever, in truth!
The one I watched was from the World Socionics Society. It seemed to switch all the functions around for each type.
