INFJs don’t know how to take care of themselves. We really don’t. I mean, we are good at taking care of others. We know exactly what all of the people, whom we love in our life, need. Exactly and always. But our own mind-body connection sucks. We will be able to tell you how much food you need, how much …
Recently, I went traveling with my parents and sister to Morocco, something that has been on my bucket list, ever since I watched the movie, Casablanca. Now, believe me, when I say, I love my parents, and sister, more than anyone else on the planet. With no recharge time though, I was ready to commit murder at the end of …
I am a people pleaser and I read somewhere that INFJs are people pleasers who hate people. That description could not be more apt. At least for me.

One of the reasons I believe INFJs have a hard time fully coming into themselves, and becoming the best version of themselves, is because they are unable to fully trust and connect with one of their major superpowers, their Introverted Intuition (Ni). The lesson here – Build Your Intuition!

We do this, not necessarily because it’s enjoyable in any shape or form. It’s not as if we like to spend time suffering in our mental …
I used to be ashamed of being an introvert for such a long time. I guess, that was all necessary, for me to grow into the person I have become now, who gives zero apologies to extroverted friends for who I am, and what I want.
