  • In this video I discuss 6 reasons why the INFJ is the most intimidating MBTI personality type. Some of the reasons we are so "scary" to others tend to fly under the radar. However, once you understand our abilities - I promise you'll have a better understanding of our fear factor!

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

It is understanding that the best option is to move on; to completely remove this person and the feelings you have about them from your life. As a person able to do this there will be no suicidal ideation -- there will be a person who has recognized the bully for what they are and will have a newfound strength to get along without them.

      All bullies are bullies because someone strong in authority never confronted them with their wrongdoings - and all people were protecting their peace - and this way serial killers and psychopaths walk away hands free from their crimes - since nobody screams at them that they are abnormal and predators.

I know *very* well the difficulties one can face - including the push-back from those who believe you should remain.
      Re psychopaths and serial killers: I think you've thrown the impossible into this discussion. While there is truth that some people will keep at their bad behavior as long as they get away with it (Trump), psychotic individuals (and narcissists) don't care what you think or say and will do what they want to regardless of opinion or law.

      and look into things which over stimulate your nerves - like garlic, coffee, tobacco, alcohol and remove them from your diet if you can. Its a massive challenge mate, but you just have to develop the superpower and alchemise/transmute (create) the energy into something - whether it be helping others (like a podcast or YT channel - if you are ready for this part of the journey), or doing a physical sport like boxing. Anything to turn that energy into a creative force which either aids in making you physically more capable, strong and prepared to help others (eg Boxing); or, anything creative which you resonate with which is for others: like cooking an amazing meal, writing songs, painting, volunteering at the homeless shelter - its all creating joy and happiness and hope for those who have little - and at the same time, you are clearing your energy in a constructive, selfless manner - which is key for transmutation. If you hold in, it will turn toxic - which means the opposite of creation, destruction. The frustration will build up in you and you will either start to destroy yourself (consciously or subconsciously) via self destructive habits (drugs, sex, laziness); or, you will hold them inside which will lead to disease - OR, you may project that destructive energy outwardly onto others around you - which makes us feel good initially, but it always finds it's way back to us 10 fold. So learning how to transmute this energy, and then giving yourself the time and space to allow this alchemy to take place, is vital in maintaining your spiritual and mental health.

      This is so true for me too. A few years ago when i was still working a day job, i was constantly made fun of by an older lady in our team. 2 years in, during our company's Halloween party she decided to openly joke suggestively about me being dressed up and down as Tinkerbell by a male coworker, i finally had to draw the line and pointed out to our team leader that we agreed not to continue if she ever pulls another sexual innuendo stunt (which sadly happens too often). Thankfully there were other coworkers preparing around as this older lady starts to gaslight me, one of them was the HR. A month later i heard she "willingly" resigns. I was the only team member she didn't invite on her going-away party 😂 The cherry on top is seeing the look on her face as i hug one of my friendly and respectful lady co-workers (not a team member) before she leaves the building for another country. I think she couldn't believe that i would have actual meaningful friendships in the company for such a short period of time unlike her who kept getting in odd superficial and unprofessional behaviors against co-workers. She always seem to start fights like how someone would try to be a pick-me choose-me over something so incredibly stupid.

    I'm 22 Years Old Male INFJ currently in Last Semester of my Degree. A few months ago I heard about MBTI in random podcast later on, i searched it and the rest is history😂, i ardently consumed so much content uncountable videos, blogs, quora answers etc.
    Here are my Golden Nuggets :
    INFJ:4 FUNCTION STACKS
    1) Introverted Intuition
    2) Extroverted Sensing
    3) Introverted Thinking
    4) Extroverted Feeling
    Understand them deeply!
    • Future Focused , Creative, Info Junkie about the topic that are curious to us, Deep, insightful , Empathetic, Visionary, Caring, Absorb others Feelings, Old souls, Quest for learning, Putting your feet in other person shoes, Crave Meaning, Big Picture thinking, Pattern analyzer, Make Connection in seemingly unconnected things, Good writing than speaking, Chameleons, Need Alone Time to recharge, sensitive to criticism, Private & standoffish ,
    Feel unfit in group setting, like one or one ( small group setting), exhausted by Large crowds, Noises and flashlights, Self critical, Set high standards, Struggle in Small Talk, Mysterious, Have idealism, Abstract thinkers, Seeing beyond the obvious, Strong Gut Feeling which make them good future anticipator, Making world better place, Keenly Analyze body language subtle cues and voice tone of others, Soul Crushing Stare, Minimalistic, Dislike Superficiality & show-off, Avoid conflict Seeking harmony, Love Reading, Good with language, Doorslam Others( means part from others suddenly without explaining them as if they don't exist), Emotionally sensitive but high pain tolerance/resilient, High in introspective/contemplating/Reflecting Energy or cerebral power but limited Physical energy.
    U might have interest in
    Psychology, Philosophy, Theology.
    Weaknesses :
    UnHealthy Perfectionism (All or none approach, Done is better than Perfect )
    Over Planning & Procrastination ( Due to Perfectionism ,u Feared a lot from Failure that u don't even try which leads to procrastination.
    U have strong urge to control all the variables of future to avoid surprises as a little bit changing in your expected future can pivot you to dismiss your plan. Avoid Over planning just set priorities )
    Overthinking/Other Analyzing Ni-Ti Loop
    ( Do some sensory Concrete Stuff e.g walking, playing etc as we lack in our 4th function extrovert sensing, be more spontaneous and LIVE In Present moment " )
    Overwhelm/Burnout
    ( Come out of your comfort zone but don't overwhelm yourself , Set healthy boundaries, Start saying No, First Take care of your Health & needs then others)
    We lack in Action Parts due to our shadow function 'Extrovert Sensing' which deals with real concrete sensory world, and due to introverted intuition we are so much in our heads all the time ,we make up so much in our heads that we think vision and only vision gonna leads us to results.
    Its deception to yourself, wake up to reality.
    Action is the Antidote!
    Action-> Motivation -> Action......
    Growth Journey could be slow in beginning as compare to others but as the time passes you would surpass others, Infjs have unique style of learning others are learning 2×2 = 4 but we are learning multiplication and forming deep insights in our brain that we can apply on other sceneries also.
    Feeling incompetent is a nightmare to us so don't Campare with others and embrace your unique strengths.
    Don't let avoiding mundane robotic stuff spoil your bigger vision!
    Proverb: Seeing trees for the forest , But in Infj case it is vice verca , Infj see forest for the trees. Means anticipate bigger vision planned everything in head but in term of doing boring stuff necessary for desired results, Infj be like: No no I'm not doing this, is this for which i born.
    Trust Your Intuition & set realistic expectations with yourself and others!
    Rather than setting detailed goals set themes for year or next chapter of your life e.g " Growth, Focus, Healthy relationships, Competence, Fitness etc.
    Avoid people pleasing, own yourself be honest to yourself, don't unnecessarily mould yourself acc to others.
    I Think INFJs have 4 Needs & Dimentions :
    1) Intellectualism
    ( Philosophy, Political science, History, Psychology Sociology... in Short " Literature Type " Person.
    2) Creativity ( Graphic Designing, content creation, Script writing, Copy writing, content writing, ghost writing, Any Type of writing..,Painting, Crafting, " Artistic Type "
    3) Helping
    " Doctors, Psychotherapist, NGOs, Any Sort Of helping humanity or working for betterment of the world.
    4) Purpose/Meaning
    Religion/Spirituality. In Islam especially Mysticism. Crave Meaning in everything they do. Existential Crisis can be expected in your 20s.
    Order could vary.
    U can fulfill your needs acc to your life conditions/ environment.
    Also choose carrier acc & Beware! Give importance to money , we have tendency to be acstetic and deep down we somehow consider it evil.It is not our big motivation as we are not materialistic but still finances shouldn't be Ignored. Atleast make priority to earn enough which is sufficient to maintain minimalistic lifestyle.
    ~ WE DON'T HAVE TO DO
    SO MANY THINGS, BUT
    FEW RIGHT THINGS.
    ~ I DON'T CARE WHAT
    OTHERS THINK OF ME, I

    RESPONSIBLE FOR

    ~ IT'S OK TO BE I'M

    LONG RUN, WE ALL ARE
    DEAD.

    about rest of the world &
    its problems.
    • Set boundaries take care
    of your health & needs.

      Many people have told my mom they are scared of me not just friends who told me but family and her friends tell her that the way I think is way too ahead for them to understand and they are scared bc I say things in a logical way or even In a psychopathic way to people I dislike or just normal logical things. For example: I told my mom that if there wasn't any food in the apocalypse that I would use the people around as a food source the way I see it is that getting killed or surviving till the end. Everyone is part of the food chain and everyone gets eaten or killed at some point in life. Sure not saying killing someone for fun is okay but if it's self-defense or for food I see it as normal.

    Innocent until proven guilty is spot on. Because of this approach I basically always enter a situation with optimism and openness, unless of course, there is something about the individual that triggers a gut instinct from the start. It's the openness and optimism that can reveal what's currently going on with the individual. Many people are really thrown by the openness. They either don't trust it or they think it's something they can take advantage of. Typically, it's one of those two.

    I've only recently found out I'm an INFJ. Well, then that explains it. I've been called intense, intimidating, and mysterious. I can smell people's BS miles away and don't waste a second to be in their company. I'm a great listener that's why people confide to me easily but it's always hard for me to open up with others. It takes a long time before I can fully trust someone.

    I never understood the fact why I was different from the herd. When other kids were playing outside.... I was watching The X- files sitting alone in my room.

I was born here and it is a very quaint, old city with about 150,000 and Onondaga Couny is small with only 500,000. I have NEVER met another INFJ!!! I really have never felt lonely even though I have spent most of my life alone. I do not currently have any "friends" outside of my husband's sister's, who I am just recently reaching out to. At 49, I was yet prepared to become social because, of course, I do not have small talk so meeting new people is challenging. It never matters, because alone for me is bliss with Christ. I have been married 10 years to an INFP-T, we are perfectly matched. Thank you for this video. The world has become so selfish and violent. Men and women have confused their rightful positions and we are now all surrounded by evil...and treachery.

    I'm reading "Gifts Differing" by Isabel Briggs Meyers and Peter Meyers, and in the chapter dedicated to INFJ and INTJ (they are described togheter) there this phrase:
    "these people cannot be successfully coerced. They will not even be told anything without their permission, but they will accept an offer of facts, opinions, or theories, for free consideration;
    the excellence of their understanding must be trusted to recognize what is true".
    I think this is the whole point of a possible "intimidating" effect (maybe it's more a puzzling effect): INFJ and INTJ are independent thinkers,
    they don't accept ideas or rules that doesn't make sense. A lot of people never question anything about what is commonly accepted or a general rule.
    I realized I'm probably INTJ (but I feel I am an IN-something), but I see INFJ share a lot of similarities with INTJ if not in thinking, in how they are perceived by others,
    like other introverts, so I keep watching videos after in order to understand good strategies to overcome our common problems.
    At the moment the most recommended strategy is: "be yourself" and cope with the results.

      I'm going to be honest its not your intelligence. The infjs I know/live with can be overly critical of others while not being able to accept (verbally because while they modify their actions it is extremely hard to vocally admit wrong) their own flaws at times. Then it's the extreme anxiety and dislike for new situations that can be draining when you want to share with them. And the smug/bossy attitude that sneaks out at times. I love my infjs but sometimes I have to put my foot down. Maybe try meeting new people and ask an enfp or entj for honest feedback. These youtubers will gas you up to think you're perfect but no mbti is we're just human. You'll find your tribe, give it some time.

      Infs just seem like people with Asperger's. Constantly pointing out the truth and pointing out patterns they recognise. Since the science behind those personality types is pretty weak, I think its just a way for logically thinking persons to label themselves.

    INFPs scare INFJs :)) Because we can see through that anxiety (which we also feel) but choose to share our love instead with people. Many INFJs are scared of their own power sometimes and don't share their unique talents with the world. I wish we could see more INFJs taking charge of their own lives and the ones that they love (because yall are way more fitted to do that job than INFPs tbh)

    Not only are we adept at seeing where things are headed etc, we cannot not do that!
    YES WOW. You have nailed it all. Realized a few years ago way too late in my life that people get uncomfortable around me for seemingly zero reason because I do not see, care about or play into their ego identity self! Their 'story' they're weirdly identified with.
    I'm going for reality, what's really there, what's authentic, simple, clear, casual, friendly, lighthearted, accepting, low key, kind (overly kind), honest - and it had always blown my mind how people inexplicably react badly to that!
    They sense that I don't play into their ego identity, and the reason I figured it out was because I watched how other people interact with each other. They're always fawning or playing into each other's fake self, and I just don't even see that or pick up on it. I just communicate straight and kind. But boy that doesn't work cuz people are really invested in their story and if you don't see it and play into it, you can get a lot of backlash unexpectedly from out of nowhere.
    Yes I finally realized how to use that power of ripping people apart, if only in my mind to detach from them when needed. Or to their face when necessary, with zero remorse.
    You can hurt me pointlessly & selfishly 3 or 4 times, and I'll figure you had a bad day, it all doesn't matter, it's a misunderstanding, no problem etc. But presume upon my good nature and tear me up with your meanness one more time, I will rip you apart. As some people describe that with infjs, I will eviscerate you verbally, tell you all about yourself, and leave your guts laying on the floor... and say right you got a problem with that? I kept telling you to stop being ugly to me. Go cry more - I gave you the best of myself for a long time and you abused it 😂 Bye now!
    I did know for years that I somehow identified with the character Julia on that old TV show called Designing Women. She would often do that (beautifully) to people toward the end of the show when their BS was exposed lol. But it took me way late in life to even be able to stand up for myself at all, I had 'doormat syndrome'.
    SUBSCRIBED! Glad to find you! This is straight-to-the-core GENIUS info.

    I'm able to at times see things to come, but I wanted to know how I could do this. I have just realized that I am a INFJ last year and I am so grateful for now knowing why my life has been the way that it is. I always noticed that I thought so much different than most others and I always felt like I was never understood or listened to about anything I did or said. I just don't know why I never did any research to self discovery to try and understand more about myself, but it was not until my little brother was listening to something on UA-cam about the INFJS so I began to think about it and I started reading more about it and I came across a UA-cam channel that really stuck with me and I was so excited to listen each and every day. I am happier than I have been in the past and I continue to listen and learn about myself every day. Thank You for your channel. Keep up the good work and I hope you are successful and have all your dreams come true.

    I had just recently became quite angry with someone who i had a pretty strong idea of within my mind, and when i saw that the reality completely demolished that idea, i was perturbed.
    Long story short, this friend behaved in a manner that was very unfitting, and unfair to other people. I had constructed this idea that she was much more mature and discplined. When i saw the polar opposite, i was profoundly disappointed.
    Being aware she was dealing with a lot, personally. I did not push my point any further. I resigned myself to apologizing, said i had made a mistake, and accepted her response that i knew was just a rationalization.
    As far as she knows, she was right. How i truly feel, however, is that i placed her well-being above my principles, and deprived myself of genuine closure.
    This chapter is not over. But, i fear that if i point out how her behaviour is indicative of something much deeper, connected to her unresolved weaknesses, and how it will not be helpful for her in the future, i may be invalidated once again.
    An impasse within myself.
    Ive been obsessing over this for days.

    • @bbevis2357
      @bbevis2357 6 місяців тому

      I was in a similar situation this past year. My advice (and honestly its really hard) is unless she is actively and continually hurting you or other people, you should let it go. Ask yourself are you, they, and everyone else otherwise happy? You don't have to trust them, but don't hold a grudge against your friend. Unfortunately going back on your words is not a good move, but like me, you will know next time if it happens again to not apologize for things you didnt do and be more assertive. Sometimes all you can do is learn from your mistakes and let others do the same.
      I nearly lost a friend over this. She was acting avoidant and I was gently but continually pressing a topic that was bothering me because I was concerned about her. I later found out she was only recently going to therapy and had serious anxiety problems over it. I should have just let it be until she was less stressed or more firmly asserted what I needed to discuss from the beginning. All was well after she finally opened up about it but I basically had to force her to admit her deepest insecurities on/off over 3 months, which was not fun for either of us.

      That does resonate with me. When the feelings were fresh, I was inches away from slamming the door on my connection with her, and not ever to look behind me again.
      What I was feeling, was a deep, swirling vortex that was incessantly knawing at me, enticing me to submit and to give in to that urge. But, perhaps I was correct to not do that.
      My god, was I ever besieged by those demons in that moment...
      You're right. And that is why I feel this impasse. If I correct course and open up about how I truly felt, it may realign myself emotionally, but it would also confirm that violation of ethical principle, and that would compel me to become more vigilant.
      Perhaps to absolve the conundrum, is to, in fact, let it go. It truly would not provide myself any real solace by hitting myself in the head with a hammer.
      The advice is much appreciated, friend. 🙏

    INFJ stands for Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Judging, which represents the core personality traits of this type. However, the INFJ Heyoka empath is an even rarer variant, as they possess an additional layer of empathic sensitivity, often referred to as being a "Heyoka."

      @richardjohanson6421 6 місяців тому +4

      Heyoka empaths are said to be the rarest and most powerful variety, acting as a spiritual mirror to those around them to assist their growth. The Heyoka's unorthodox approach to life makes others question their own preconceived notions of what's right and wrong, real and fantasy.

      @richardjohanson6421 6 місяців тому +3

      The reason there are so few INFJ or Heyoka is because it is those at the highest level of the game.

    Sounds like an INFP to me. Also has huge amounts in common with INTJs & INTPs. What is the common thread? We're all Introverted intuitives. It's great to begin studying your own type. It's the quickest way to begin understanding the cognitive functions. But you set yourself up with an enormous blind spot if you don't follow through and study the other types. You're not the only one who has super powers. Plus, focusing on your superpowers can render you unaware of the superpowers of less similar types.

Thank you for sharing!!
    God bless you.❤

    I can tell an a hole by their walk. Non verbal gives a lot away but so does tone, choice of words, etc.

    Oh my goodness, that's crazy. You just said that I have the ability to see into everybody's weaknesses, and when they super mess with me, I expose them.

    Speaking of not following the herd. I really enjoy your videos. You are articulate so many facets of the INFJ phenomenon so well. You’re a nice looking man and don’t need that heavy creepy face filter. Because you already have such good skin and a very well composed face. The filter makes you look like you’re made of wax.
