    INFJ Life Coach Lesson: There are many reasons why INFJs might dread social interactions. It's not that we don't want it at all; rather, being around people brings up a lot of emotions which can be hard for us- even if they're somebody we love or care about! There are always aspects that requires some work on our end, but by understanding what those triggers actually mean on an individual level then they becomes less difficult to manage and master.

    Dear Wenzes - I have finally found my people because of you. We are a community of people who love being alone. Your videos are so life affirming. I am retiring in 3 months. I can't wait to be able to be myself all day every day. The world of work has been a trial by fire every single day for my whole life. Working at home during Covid shutdown was a wonderful time for me in so many ways. I could make my own schedule, shut my door, work in quiet, and not interact in person with those many, varied, needy, personalities.

    Dread is too fearful a word, but yes, I have a strong aversion to being around people. Most of them are like hungry ghosts looking for someone to feed on, but never satisfied, because no amount of approval, support, affirmation, validation, praise, or any other flavor of attention from outside of themselves will ever be enough. They are like little children constantly playing make-believe games and want me to be some character they’ve made up in their heads. When I don’t play along the way they imagined, they get mad and react in various unpleasant ways. There isn’t even a “myself” to be, as I am not a character. I just am. I cherish and adore my solitude. I have no desire for relationships. A brief bit of (unavoidable) polite chit-chat is as much as I can stand. I’m retired now, so I am fully absorbed in my myriad of crafting hobbies, long walks in fresh air, fitness and nutrition, and reading copious stacks of novels. I have a deep compassion for humanity, but keep my distance. Been there, done that ad nauseum with all the painful INFJ dynamics you so insightfully present. Gone beyond now.

Edit: Btw, I can't count how many times I've said to myself that's it's not ok unless I'm the persona they want me to be or expect me to be. So very tired of that.

      "themselves"( ie insecurities,
      shortcomings, ideologies, etc..)
      onto others. ESPECIALLY other
      females, the jealousy, the back-

    I am an older INFJ that happens to be a therapist in private practice. Now, the idea of being around "most people" in most cases is something that I dislike tremendously and avoid at all cost. Currently, the level of toxicity being displayed in so many people all around me makes me avoid people that much more. Drama, toxicity, aggressiveness, being hate- filled, etc., are things I have zero tolerance for. Conversely, my clients are people who I truly love working with, and I feel incredibly grateful for my working relationships I have with my clients. So, people are actually the currency of my life, and generally, I love people....when in an environment that I can manage many variables and that is super predictable. And again, it is controlled by me, so generally speaking what happens in that vacuum-like space with one individual at a time is priceless. Sometimes even revelatory. But yeah...I have gotten so used to avoiding public, social events that I finally realized that I never liked them, but forced myself to act like an extrovert for decades, for example, working in a hospital setting for 30 years. But I eventually felt tapped out, like only a fraction of myself. Like my life energy was being suppressed. Letting go of it all and moving into private practice made me realize how exhausting it was to "perform" for a very long time in that capacity. Being very nice and always being on top of my game, and so on. I used to literally have to hide in my office whenever I was "on the floor " for long periods of time. Like, I had to in order to make it through the day. It was brutalizing in many ways. Bit now, I feel better than ever, and feel like I am living in a way that is not only compatible with me, but that brings me tremendous joy. I love what I do and the people I do it with. Everything's a work in progress but I let go of so many things that were dragging me down that I feel free of the negative parts of my past more than ever. And I don't know if anyone can relate to this, but I cannot tolerate watching people on screens anymore, especially because it is so often fake and contrived. This is why I do not watch tv, and even films, which I used to be more of a fan of, I rarely watch. This is related to both people and the system we are currently living under. Which I want no part of...lol
    Anyway, thanks. Love your content.

    Being around people most of the time is only because I'm forced to leave the house and go to a job to pay the bills and buy things I like. If it wasn't for that, my coworkers would probably never hear from me at all. If I can find a way that works for me to earn money without leaving the house, I will happily be doing that instead. I have some idiots for coworkers who hate me when I'm not even working with them. I'm in my area, doing what I need to do, and the morons still bitch about me. They have serious issues and I have no desire to indulge them one bit. Weak minded fools are far too common.

    1 - It's draining because we feel people;
    2- guilt is amplified because again, we feel people and it's on autopilot. Be in alignment with yourself. The more you feel it, the more you heal it;
    3- We lose ourselves. We are not only being chameleons but we go further, we lose ourselves in the process. "The leaf in the wind". Helping people has to be a conscious choice. Don't feel guilty for choosing yourself. Stop effacing yourself.
    4- we can not have fun if we are not ourselves. It's always that box you are limiting you in. Solution: yes you are going to rock the boat, create a new harmony that includes yourself.
    5- we feel responsible for people well being. What we believe what makes a good person. Our identity is, I'm the only one who is able to make people feel good. You can choose to feel that way or not. Be on the driver seat. I'm responsible for my own well being, not others it's on automatic pilot.
    It takes energy to change but it's not going to be always difficult, it gets easy overtime.

    Do I dread being around people as an INFJ? Yes. Mainly because most if not all of the people that are at social gatherings are extroverted, life of the party type of people. I'm not as outgoing as they are, yet I do well to speak with one person at a time. I can take people in small doses. Sometimes folks have a tendency to be rude to me (interrupting, being boisterous). I tend to just end those conversations and try and either find someone else easier to deal with or just leave. Leaving is normally the better choice for me because I like my peaceful home. Self-preservation and recharge time.

  • @mlbullbooks
    @mlbullbooks Рік тому +25

    Aside from my energy/social meter being drained, I also don't always like being around people because in some cases it just makes me feel sad; particularly, during permanent departures. Hence, I try to avoid getting too close to people, but that isn't always easy to do for INFJs because we're "feeler types" and we value deep connections/interactions with others rather than shallow talk. And let's face it, most of us don't have many or any associates and only certain people "get us." We might be a true friend to some people, but we're slower to call others our friends due to our high standards.
    Many INFJs also dread being around people because of having so many unfortunate experiences of being abused or mistreated during our lifetime to the point it can make us get sick and tired of dealing with them. Like, can I please go on a stranded island away from humanity?...lol. Just saying. I know I've felt this way before and I'm probably not the only INFJ either.
    Whenever I'm alone, I don't have to worry about getting offended or hurt by an individual, and I don't have to worry about feeling sad because of permanently leaving someone I get along with or care about or them leaving me. It's just me, myself, and I, which is why I value my solitude.

I have only met defensiveness so far or people escaping subjects or being not at ease around me for reasons I cannot even grasp, I simply feel it.... online it might be easier yes but in real life I must not meet the right people then....

    Oh yes, that's true. I'm actively trying to engage less in other people's dramas, or at least stick to those who want to vent, but take responsibility for their problems. At this point I have enough of guilt and emptiness coming from losing myself to live their lives. It's great, It's more peaceful, but it requires conscious effort.
    Sometimes the best strategy is to say nothing. I talked to a psychologist and she asked me if I encourage venting. Do I nod? Do I make sounds, ask questions, go for it? Hmmmmmm. We often don't even notice we encourage behaviour that in result makes us feel awful.

    I dunno, I’m an INFJ, but I do like being around certain people. At the same time you are right though. It is draining and I need to recover after socialising. I’ve felt before that I was always identifying this recharge time as being about to get ill with a cold or migraine. In actual fact it is more about finding my soft comfort blanket (even though I’m a grown woman) and hiding under it so it’s a bit darker.
    I’ve also had days where I’ve thought other people are comparable to vampires sucking the life out of me. I guess because I’m an introvert and some people seem energised after social interactions (most likely due to being extroverted, but still, extroverts are vampires). 😂 Sorry, not sorry. 😂

    As a libra and an INFJ everything you are saying is so spot on. In a crowded room I always feel as though im confused by all of the emotions in the room, that guilt you talk about is paralyzing like I dont know "HOW" to act. . I literally hear every conversation which i brutal enough to deal with, i can never focus on one person or feeling because of the obvious clash, knowing there is a sadness and a happiness in a room at the same time i want to protect the sad one from the obvious lack of empathy from the happy one as an example. What a conundrum that can feel like. If harmony is present im ok emotionally but still experience the chaos of hearing every conversation. Im better breaking off to personal private settings.
    Concerts however allow me that time where im most comfortable as i am a musician and enjoy everything about music. I funtion just fine in the crowd and can actually meet stangers freely. Proving your point about if you are happy being yourself you glow and attract people as opposed to being the quiet wierd person in the crowded room.

    I would say that I do enjoy people, but as an INFJ, more often than not, it can be completely draining! For the most part of my life I've always followed my true nature of being an observer, and although the natural default of processing and over processing others lends to this, I think that as I've gotten older and more mature, and especially now understanding myself as an INFJ, I have gotten a lot better at expressing my true thoughts and feelings and self around others, instead of always dimming my light for their benefit. I of course still require my alone time to recharge. I find that I do prefer more one-on-one or smaller group dynamics as opposed to larger ones, although I can occasionally tolerate a large group well, at least for a period of time. I think the only time I would describe it as dread though, would be if I was forced for some reason to have to experience a social situation, that I was either unfamiliar with, or disinterested in. That is a great feeling on occasion to feel that "blossoming" effect! 😃

    Man this couldn't have come at a better time!!!!!! 🗣WENZES!!!!! This is by Far one of the most beautiful gifts I've gotten! Yes I called you and this video a gift in this season in my life! After going through trauma and healing, I was still trying to figure out why it seemed so unbearable to be around people with this new commitment and outlook for my future. Going through trauma "season", all I could think about was how "I lost myself dealing with people, their issues, their mess and now that I'm reduced (what seemed) to nothing, where do i go from here. The one thing that I worked so hard at "becoming me and accepting me" I don't even have the energy to try again (so it seemed, we're stronger than what it appears). Most people cry because they lose tangible, material things but when I lost myself, I lost the will to live! So to try again, commit, and live amongst people, daring to open myself up to others again! 😵‍💫 ALL of what you said gave me clarity, disrupted the attack of anxiety, helping me to choose me and reminded me of who I was (to the core) prior to trauma.
    This video is also why I am motivated to overcome, why we all (Infjs), should be motivated to overcome, so we can help others along the way. I mean the battle within me (a couple of hrs before watching this) was exactly what I was concerned with, fighting within myself (on a subconscious level), while around a group of people, ughhh! The Lord knows what u need, I'm telling ya! 🙌🏾
    Thanks Wenzes!❣️

    I'll try & improve myself. I need to actually have a meal with my walking group one time instead of just heading home.
    There is one guy I click with so well more so than the others, which yes does have a level of acting to it. He has said much the same to me. I have wondered what his personality type might be.
    Only time they really saw the goofy, high energy me was last Halloween. It went over well, a lot of people & kids loved it. Running around as a werewolf. Even a video out there of me howling lol.
    It was a great day. It was like the costume gave me the excuse you know. I'll get there.

    #2 Why don't you intune with me instead of making me feel your misery about that you think that I'm not intuned with you?
    #3 Why can people just do a little bit of what I like without making me ask for it, just a single time?
    #4 Why don't I show you how to have real fun(in my way instead of you cousing me mental breakdown with what you think is fun that I simply can't stand)?
    #5 Why can people just don't switch my caretaker mode on max every time and just let me have a good time instead of thinking about everyone else's feelings?

    This is a useful video and definitely merits a lot of reviewing and internalizing.
    Standouts for me:
    ** Feeling guilty. I was always worried that I said something "wrong" and it was exacerbated by constantly being called a misfit. A lot of that happened at a younger age, but it took a while to get over it.
    ** Preparing ahead to commit ourselves to being ourselves, knowing that yes, some people might get offended. My take on this - I commit myself to civil communication, be myself, to avoid trying to be clever - then communication is easier.
    We INFJs love people, we want to help them and enjoy them but sometimes it is a challenge! 🙂

    Yes, I hate being around people out in public. I don’t mind it if I know them, but I don’t like being around strangers.
    I used to have to get drunk to have a good time, and loosen up. It turned me into an alcoholic, just so I could be normal. I hated myself. I finally kicked that habit after almost 2 decades. Then a couple years ago, they legalized Delta-8 THC in the US, and that was awesome. It has an even better affect on me than the alcohol, but I wasn’t hurting my body, and having hangovers. I was sleeping better. It was great. Now I’ve changed jobs, and can’t use it at all. Which sucks. 🫤. All I can hope for is Federal legalization and decimalization of all THC. And that seems like a long shot. 🤦🏼
    Great video Wenzes! Hope you’re having a great week! 🙂🌹❤️👍🏼

    • @YAMISOOLD2009
      @YAMISOOLD2009 Рік тому +4

      I am a father of two sons now grown. I think its fine to have children if you are an INFJ. I don't think I was a terrible one. I wish I had been more in the moment with them but I was so often preoccupied by work worries (read: people at work worries). Luckily my excellent ISFJ wife more than made up for me being a little checked out at times. But I think I was a caring dad and an understanding one. I made mistakes modeled after my own parents. I didn't know that some of what they did was not really the best way to parent. But this is a common and understandable problem with a lot of young parents. Sometimes we haven't really evaluated what our parents did to us or whether we would or should do something differently with our own children. But knowing myself much better now and looking back I don't think anything in my INFJ personality was a detriment to my children. They are still actively communicating with me so I take that as a positive!😄

    • @innerwestie1446
      @innerwestie1446 Рік тому +2

      I have made the choice not to have children (long before I knew anything about infj's). I instinctively knew that I would find this too draining and incompatible with the private way I chose to live. However, I don't think that infj's who want children should hold back. Awareness of how to manage this personality type would help with raising kids.

I have a big heart on the inside, but if you try to take advantage of me, control me, manipulate me then you'll get that "cold" version of me. And boy is it HARD to do, I feel like I'm going against my moral character, but you know what, I don't care. I am not going to be responsible for people's feelings - byeee!! If you don't like it or what I'm doing - then bye bye bye. 👋
