Do You See 8 Sides to Everything? – INFJs Do
One of the main reasons my INTJ sister and I fight is because she doesn’t understand that I see the world in extreme shades of gray. Whereas for her the world is more a case of black and white, with a little bit of gray somewhere in there, sometimes. Decisions are easier for her, and not so much for me.
Is Your Love Pulling Away from You Slowly?
One of the magnificent things about having a YouTube channel about INFJs is many non-INFJs message me asking questions about their beloved INFJs and about a potential doorslam. This really makes me ecstatic. I know how hard it can be for an INFJ, one of the introverted Myers-Briggs personality types, to be in a relationship, especially a romantic one. So, …
Introverts Need Time Every Single Day to Detox and Process
Mood swings suck, don’t they?? I am visiting my family at the moment in Toronto, Canada. Even though I absolutely adore them to death, I have realized that if I spend too much time with them, I start feeling an immense amount of rage and resentment towards them without a break. It’s wholly without reason, and I know it is …
INFJs Never Fit In Anywhere
Something people always say about me is that fitting in is my middle name. I have friends in the nerdy tech circle, and I have friends in the hippie sage-burning circle.

Why Do So Many INFJs Ignore Their Intuition, When It’s Truly One Important Superpower
If I had to tell people one thing about myself that I absolutely despise, it’s this – I hate that I ignore the signs and messages that my Introverted Intuition (Ni) sends me on a daily basis. Even when it has lined the messages with neon red LED lights and flashed them in front of my face, I still manage …
INFJs Get Chatty around Certain People and That’s So Embarrassing
Recently, I shared a meme with my YouTube community which consists mostly of INFJs, but also of other types. It said something like, “INFJ – I don’t like how chatty I get when I feel at ease with someone.” A day later, I had 23 comments most of which were at least a paragraph long, with people describing how they …
INFJs Don’t Know How To Alleviate Their Anxiety Sometimes, So They End Up Organizing Life Instead
INFJs usually have no idea how they are feeling. What are feelings and how do they show up in the body? For a person with a poor mind-body connection, INFJs usually don’t know how they feel and end up emulating others around them who are feeling something. But this usually ends up in them picking up on the anxious and …
INFJs Care about Doing What’s Right, Not Being Right
This is a big thing for an INFJ, so if you are interested in learning more about us, please pay attention. This will actually happen a lot in real life, where humans will inordinate amounts of time arguing with some other human online or offline because they have this weird desire to be proven right. INFJs don’t like to argue.
