How do INFJs read people?

INFJ’s are participant observers

We participate, but observe everything you do and what is going on around us.

We know how to read body language.

We read energy and vibes. If you don’t want to be there, or you are being untruthful, we will know.

We learn and understand you. We get to know you, know how you think, why you think a certain way

We want to know your past hurts so we never take you back to that place

When an INFJ knows you well, we know what you will do or how you will think before you even do.

We pick up on little things

We pick up on intention

We pick up on judgments

We feel everything, we feel every emotion

We use our intuition

Sometimes, this attracts us to narcissists because we can sense the person is in pain, but we think we can help save them, and take away their pain, so we ignore red flags, and that is why we are attracted to them, but then get hurt by them as well

‘Smiles directed at strangers, cuddles, vivid daydreams, forgotten tasks, crying over a death of a baby bird but unable to cry at your grandfather’s funeral, sunlight streaming through windows, an autumn palette, messy buns, glasses that slide down your nose, half-written stories, sea-foam green, a large coffee mug filled with tea, constellations, window seats, falling asleep in a hammock, fantasy novels, art supplies in glass jars, self-made posters, doodles in the margin, comforting a friend, struggling for the right words, puppies, singing softly to yourself, swallowing angry retorts, the ocean, loneliness, a warmth in your stomach when you look at someone you love, baggy sweaters, quiet forests, hunching your shoulders, being torn two ways, silent screams, fireflies, the smell of cinnamon and apples, a favourite book that has been read so many times that its pages are dog eared and the cover is creased, wishes on eyelashes, feeding stray animals, being gentle but firm, a very eclectic playlist, photographs of happy memories in mismatched frames, dancing down grocery store aisles, a rush of protectiveness when you see someone being treated unfairly, an inner strength that is tapped into on special occasions.’

“Sorry I’m late” INFP Edition In chronological order.

I was watching the sunrise over breakfast and got lost in a daydream. 

I plotted out an entire book in the shower. 

I started listening to music.

I heard this new song and had to listen to it on repeat for an hour. 

I stared at my closet for 15 minutes trying to decide which outfit best expressed my current mood. 

I started reading/writing.

I was dealing with the existential crisis I have on a daily basis. 

I spent half an hour thinking about how I currently felt about eating what I had earlier decided to eat for lunch. 

Someone asked me for my opinion. 

I got lost in a daydream again.

I was lying on my bed for an hour just crying into oblivion. 

I started reading/writing again.

I decided to start studying a new language right this minute.

I was looking around Esty for something that perfectly expresses my personality. I didn’t find anything. 

I lost track of time because I don’t keep track of time.

My life is a lovely combination of four, six, seven, ten, twelve, thirteen & fifteen. But mostly seven & fifteen. I love being an INFP - wouldn’t change a thing

Why is everyone so obsessed with INFJs?

INFJs are natural masters of mirroring emotions (that is, they shadow your subconscious in a way that disarms you because you see your feelings mirrored in them) . They are introverts, but come across extraverted in individual exchanges for this reason (warm and inviting). They don’t directly challenge people, but instead get people to challenge themselves. That is, they are disarming due to their ability to quickly read others body language, emotions and genuine feelings about, well anything. In this, they are adept at getting others to feel comfortable — opening up.

Talking with an INFJ for a short period of time leaves me feeling comfortable communicating about all kinds of things I wouldn’t normally share with a stranger (that is, I quickly feel understood where few understand me). The exchange is one direction, by design, and that’s not really on purpose but just a natural process of INFJ exchange. For when you step back and think about it you realize that the INFJ hasn’t really shared much of their own feelings, but rather they created a very safe non threatening place for you to express your own - and in the moment you feel on the same page as them. This is what intrigues me most about INFJs, they have very strong values and opinions but often don’t share them out of respect for a deeper and stronger desire to allow people to be authentically themselves - that is, they don’t want to poison other’s natural opinions by injecting their own that may conflict. In this regard, the INFJ feels connected to a human and they are driven to understand and help others feel understood. This culminates in their desire to help people help themselves and become more full. The paradox here is that the INFJ wants to be understood too, but they are guarded (I suspect out of a human state [or projection] of feeling others can read them the way they read people so well — as an INFJ it must be scary to think someone could look into their soul and see so transparently how they really feel about the world, it’s easier to keep that hidden so that it doesn’t disrupt the harmony they’ve created with the other). It takes a lot of connection and a long time for an INFJ to really trust themselves to share their true feelings (the deep dark sides of their soul) with others.

What this does, is it creates this mysterious draw towards the INFJ who can quickly clam up and withdraw from exchanges when the world bares down on them (which it does often). This leaves people (particularly other deep, intuitive types) wanting to understand them. I have yet to meet an INFJ that I wasn’t intrigued by. They are deep and caring souls, who often take on the weight of the world for those they mentor and care for. The best I can articulate it is to assign them the title sherpard of souls - to those fortunate enough to be in their world. It’s only natural to want to return the favor, in trying to understand them better.

What are tell-tale signs you are an INFJ?

19 Signs That You’re an INFJ

1. From a young age, you felt different from the people around you

When you were young, you had plenty of friends but you never felt like you truly fit in. Sometimes you faked being more like them so they would accept you, but deep inside you felt that it’s not right.

2. You want to know what’s really going on in people’s lives

Not just trivial stuff like what they did this weekend or what they bought on their latest shopping trip. You want to dig deep and get at the things that no one else sees. What does the person in front of you really think? How does this person really feel? The fake facade they put up for other people doesn’t fool you.

3. Plans

You feel more comfortable having a loose plan for things than you do completely winging it.

4. You’re social, but you are not really social

You can be both incredibly shy, quiet, and withdrawn, as well as charming, fun, and hilarious. It’s all about the situation, your mood, and energy levels, and most important, the people you’re with.

5. How you handle problems

When someone comes to you with a problem, you usually don’t give them advice or your opinion unless they ask. Instead, you ask them questions to help them better understand the situation and their own feelings about it. Sometimes you tell a story of a time when something similar happened to you, in the hope that they’ll draw their own lesson. You feel like you can usually see the path they should take, but you don’t want them to do it just because you told them to. You want it to be their decision.

6. There are limits to your introversion

You are an introvert and you like alone time, but you can’t be alone for too long. Eventually you need to reunite with your people. “Your people” are a handful of good friends who truly get you. It can be just one person as well. Deep conversations with these people are priceless, and hanging out with them can actually boost your energy.

7. The door slam

You’ve been known to suddenly cut people out of your life when they’ve hurt you one too many times. It’s not that you enjoy cutting people out, rather, you do this simply to protect yourself. Even though you may look like you have it together on the outside, you’re extremely sensitive inwardly, and you’re especially sensitive to other people’s words and actions.

8. You can be a people-pleaser

Sometimes you try so hard to make other people happy that you forget to make yourself happy.

9. Empathy

You often feel like you see precisely what someone else is feeling, and you believe you know what they need deep down. You’re not always right, but you tend to be more perceptive than most.

10. You have a destiny

You feel like you’re destined for so much more than just dragging yourself to your 9-5 job to pay the bills. You want to help people and change the world & not just get a paycheck. The problem is you either don’t know what your “glorious purpose” is, or you have an inkling, but you don’t know how to achieve it.

11. Always striving

You almost always have this sinking feeling like you could be doing better with your life. This results in you constantly have secret self-improvement projects going on, like learning how to cook healthy meals, setting better boundaries, or getting better at articulating yourself. Sometimes you push yourself too hard as you attempt to achieve your “perfect” life.

12. Your defence mechanism

Sometimes you turn to people-pleasing to protect yourself. You’re sensitive, so you can get really bothered when someone criticizes you or is disappointed in you. They can’t criticize you if you make them happy.

13. You sense things

You often immediately sense the mood of a room when you walk into it. Likewise, you often absorb the feelings of the people around you. If they’re excited, you get excited. If they’re anxious, you get anxious, too. You tend to gravitate toward calm, centered people so you don’t have to deal with as much emotional garbage.

14. Nothing but class

You’re drawn to high-quality things, like good food, nice clothes, and anything else that has good craftsmanship. As much as you hate to admit it, the way things look is important to you. You like being surrounded by beauty, and you tend to have sophisticated, refined tastes. But you’re a minimalist at heart. You’d rather have one or two really nice shirts than ten mediocre ones.

15. Your secret feelings

You care deeply about the people in your life, but they’ll probably never know just how much you care, because you keep your feelings mostly to yourself. You can have trouble articulating your emotions, even though you feel them intensely.

16. You care a lot

You’re usually thoughtful, conscientious, and considerate. Other people who are not as conscientious can seem callous and even cruel.

17. Books

You love learning, especially when it comes to psychology, self-improvement, spirituality, and certain sciences.

18. Your head is way beyond the clouds

When everyone else is gossiping, discussing celebs, or talking about other trivial things, you often find yourself thinking about outer space, time travel, human nature, the meaning of life, and other more epic topics like entrepreneurship. You rarely try to steer the conversation in that direction, though, because you don’t think other people will be interested.

19. You didn’t ask to be like this

Other people see you as wise, insightful, and almost spiritual. They often come to you for advice and emotional support. You relish your role as the “wise one,” and you like being needed. But sometimes it becomes too much. You’re an introvert, for crying out loud, and sometimes you just wish everyone would solve their own problems and leave you alone for a while.
