Why Being Around an INFJ is Like Being on Drugs

In this video I give my take on why being around the INFJ personality type is like being on drugs. This applies particularly to other MBTI personality types. When others are around us they experience extreme reactions - both positive and (sometimes) negative.
By understanding this, the INFJ can avoid the pitfalls that typically arise when interacting with other types.

    It is also important for INFJs to know that we can be wrong. We may see a future or have a vision, but we might be the deluded ones in some cases. We should not get caught up in the INFJ hype. We are still just human, like everyone else, and can make mistakes. Be authentic, but be humble.

    You know, the problem with hiding away the truth or softening it too much is that it doesn’t work. I’ve done this many times in my life, and it always ends up in a disaster. So, my conclusion from literally years of research is to be humbly yourself. this means telling your truth, and not forcing anything on anyone. So I say, go with the truth, but with a lot of kindness and humility. One example I think of is with things I like, or don’t like. If someone likes something I try to relate to them on it, but now I’ve started to tell them you know, I’m not really that interested in that subject. maybe I won’t be able to talk to them about bass fishing or whatever it is, they like, but at least they won’t ask me to go fishing with them either. lol! As for the abilities, they will creep out just enough to make everyone dislike you anyway if they’re that type of person. So be humble, but go ahead and show your abilities in my opinion. Jay Jay

    This was the exact reason I had to do a major "social cleanup" and confront friends and family that were enjoying the benefits of me being an infj, but didn't want the whole complete me. This guy was explaining exactly my last friendship. I stopped being myself completely and felt like I only lived to make the people around me happy. Confronting them about this realy weeded out the ones that wanted the complete authentic me and the selfish ones who were using my helping nature. I have never been happier then how I feel now.

    I consulted for a company recently. They wanted a quick fix for something they had been doing incorrectly for at least 4 years. I first wanted to understand their needs and why they did things the way they did. 2 hours into collecting data and 1 hour speaking to them. I reported back to my boss what they needed and a plan. My boss was delighted at my work. The clients were not. They did not want to see how the handling of their business had lead them to where they were. They did not want to change those patterns. They expressed their annoyance at my "not showing them how" to fix it. Unfortunately, this is more often than not my interaction with most people. They do not want to look. They'd rather stay in ignorance than change. People do not want to hear me. ~Infj

    A million thanks for this video. If you never watched another video on INFJ this one sums it up completely, honestly. I could never understand why people so over reacted to me. I am an attractive, mannerly, kind person. Too often an inocuous comment would upset someone for no reason, even a compliment can be mis-construed. people didnt seem to have a problem criticizing me about everything. By the Grace of God, I found my calling as an international consultant and forensic accountant. It took a while but I found people who wanted, needed Truth and were willing to pay for it! You are so correct in your assessment. You have to eliminate all the naysayers from your life, because there is a whole world of folks who value your trustwothiness, straight constructive thought for making things better, deep analytical abilities. Be your self, be kind,, realize you have been given a gift, even if it sometimes feels like a curse. God bless❤️

    I so resonate with your story. I retired 5 years ago from IT consulting and now a corporate leadership coach, for fun. At 70 I now really have less patience for people latching on to me and not being accountable for their life. If you come to me for help and continue to do the same things over and over, you will lose me and my support. On the other hand, I have clients that have been with me for 3 years, who do the work and have become the best of who they are and better people overall. It frightens me at times that they have become addicted to me and maybe challenged to let me go. I feel the gift I have been given is to really see who they are and give them permission to show up and fully live their lives, putting boundaries in place to no longer be taken advantage of.

I truly cared and was not shocked or scared by his authentic self, but he chose the toxic people destroying him and treating him poorly over someone who genuinely cared for him. I was interested in who he really was and not just what he could do for others. … It really sucked when he believed the lies of the others that were around him who I could tell did not care at all about him and just what they could get out of him- including his wife. he chose all of them over the group of friends that truly wanted to be there for him and understand him. It’s so sad . I truly deeply cared about him as a person and it still sucks a year and a half later …

    That’s a hard thing to realize. I’m not an INFJ , but I had a very close INFJ friend who didn’t realize this until he shoved away the group of us that actually cared about him… I think it truly hurt him and us all . I’m not sure if he’s figured it out yet because he’s not reached out to anybody . The hard thing was one of those people who was treating him extremely poorly with his own wife… she was awful to him in front of people and behind his back. He ended up cutting off a group of people that were truly looking out for him and making sure he was doing OK.. just wanting all of his INFJ gifts and his kindness and servitude at his expense. In the end , he blamed me for what other people were doing and kept them with him instead of seeing what actually was going on… even worse I got to hear the rumors was awful. People spread to undermine his opinion of me. Trying to be a friend and understood him I could tell he had not experienced very often: Someone genuinely caring about his state and what he needed, his interests and desires and thoughts. I guess those people I was dangerous because I was waking up this INFJ just by being a friend and caring… He started seeing the toxicity around him and started challenging those people, but they destroyed the whole social group before he could kick any of them out and for some reason whatever they said to him caused him to believe that I and others were the ones that needed to be removed.

    I've always seen myself as a bridge builder. Someone shares details about themselves and I start building a verbal bridge towards their dream. It often shocks them because we barely know each other but I come from such a sincere and honest place that they almost always find it inspirational. Over the years my daughter has found great comfort in the fact that I truly see her. I do have to steward it carefully because other people want to use me like a "Tinkerbell" and shake me over a person and request that I tell all about them like some kind of party favor. It took many years to learn how to navigate users. My personality type "Can Do" "Helper" etc attracts those who just want to suck people dry and then move on to the next do gooder. Boundaries are very important even if you enjoy flexing your talent and giftings. The best thing an INFJ can do is encourage and develop the young INFJ to enjoy who they are to their fullest potential. Learning how to steward their discernment so it doesn't fall into suspicion. Learning how to navigate the prophetic in an honoring way etc.

Not doing this for people anymore. I don't have time for dishonest people anymore -- it just doesn't make things better, so might as well go down swinging.

I have family that, if I allowed, would bleed me dry, energetically and financially, all while proclaiming their love for me, This is perhaps among life's toughest lessons to learn. I'm not saying they're evil, only that they don't appear to have any conception of actual love.

The percentage of woman being able to recognize their emotions and feelings while standing on top of them in their mind and not letting their decisions be controlled by them must be far under 1%. But decisions have consequences :/

    Not gay, but I came from a Catholic upbringing. I’m interested in the religious experiences of other INFJs, given our reluctance to “take the blue pill”. I really only cared about the religion I was born into once I started to realise how it had been used to manipulate me, and then I spent a brief time searching and looking into Christianity before deciding I would never have anything to do with it ever again. I rarely have problems with individual Christians, and am in fact quite good friends with a few of them, but I can’t ignore what I see as top-down problems in their doctrine. Christianity will never fully accept women and the LGBT because Jesus and the apostles had issues with these types of people, mainly on account of the fact that they were terrified of s*x. And since I will never accept being treated as spiritually weak, inferior, and more susceptible to sin because of my gender (or, alternatively, upheld as the guardian of chastity and virtue so men are free to be as badly behaved as they like), I cannot be a Christian. Such beliefs about women have only ever served to keep us quiet, under control, and unable to leave our abusive marriages. I’ve since fully embraced the archetype of the fierce and rebellious witch, and I’ve never been happier. I don’t hate the concept of religion itself, but I think the monotheistic religions wore out their welcome centuries ago and it’s only aggressive evangelism that keeps them alive (Jews don’t evangelise, but Judaism has only a fraction of the followers that Christianity and Islam have). Cultures are meant to grow, evolve, and adapt their values to suit changing times, not cling to an inflexible doctrine forever. I don’t know how humans can create the ideal society, but I’m certain monotheistic religion isn’t the solution.

Since I, like you, don't want anything to do with institutionalized religions and their oppression of people, had to find my own way. The most appealing to me is practicing opening up to the "great mystery of the universe", opening up my heart and every cell of my body and every layer of my soul to the unfathomable mystery of being like a bud opens up to spring sun. To be in awe feels like the most beautiful state to me. And this practice inspires me to be as kind as I can to everyone else.

    @@timm.8729 Hi! 👋 I’m a very spiritual person, too. I have shelves full of books on religion, philosophy, magic, and the occult. I imagine my keen interest in spirituality would seem strange to others, given my negative stance on organised religion, but I see no contradiction. Spirituality can be wonderful, and I can’t imagine not being curious about the deeper questions in life. That’s precisely why I can’t accept that all the answers have already been written down in some book. Such things are for people who don’t like to ask questions and would prefer to follow rather than lead. Which isn’t necessarily wrong, but it doesn’t suit everyone. I was very depressed until I shook off the dogma and rekindled my curiosity and love of intellectual adventure. I, too, feel that kindness and empathy are supremely important, and that my spiritual practices/research inspire me to embody those qualities (though trauma sadly sometimes makes that very difficult on some days).

I was like, riiight…then I read about this rare personality and I could believe how accurate! It really helped me to know this. It gave me much more confidence in myself and why I am like I am. I really love your videos, and truly I’ve listened to others, but you are the most accurate I’ve heard! Thank you!,

    Not only am I a drug to others, me on drugs is like drugging others. I am on an antipsychotic and the ones who diagnosed me are receiving the effects, I feel nothing, it is having as much effect on me as if I knew it was a placebo.

    I tried that too, it went south quickly. It doesn't matter where we go, people are the same everywhere.

    Dull down your personality and hide your strength. That's the best advice.

    This is very refreshing. I always knew I was an INFJ but I didn't really grasp how accurate it was. I was like "Very rare, cool. Anyways..." Then I watched one of your videos just for fun, and I'm super surprised how accurate this is. Love the videos, thank you for the content :)

    Thanks for expressing your mind, I resemble what you said but what it’s quite difficult is why wouldn’t they know, it’s very obvious to me as INFJ,I know by seeing and talking just as easy as that

    Yeap, that's me. I was a chameleon for so long that I didn't even know who I really was. It took two other NFs to shed light on the fact that I was hanging around my blood family who are sheeple/herd mentality etc. Now I am learning to be my true self, speak my truth and not give two turds what anyone else has to say about it.

    It also depends on what is the infj like. Cuz as for me I dont dare to open up to a person to tell him/her everything I see in him /her.

    I thought too highly of the powers of us INFj s or perhaps I questioned my own intuition. But then I came across this video. Confirmed I'm not crazy.
