INFJ, Type 2w1.

[edie-etc-blog]

I'm ENTP, and I'm trying to learn more about INFJs since I'm considering marrying one. She loves me very much, but do you think there's anything else I should know?

Never just assume that an INFJ knows you love them. Since they’re always planning for the future, they tend to worry about every potential outcome and thus are often in need of reassurance. 

INFJs always need a purpose. They thrive on helping others. If they feel unneeded, this can cause a nosedive in their self-esteem.

Don’t be surprised if your INFJ flip flops from acting like a tsundere to being super lovey dovey. 

Also, as an ENTP, try to hold back on any unnecessary arguing. You can have discussions, but I’ve noticed this type likes to make everything someone says sound wrong even if they agree with it. INFJs hate conflict and being heavily introverted, are most likely to be easily annoyed by this.

INFJ Confession

I want to love unconditionally. I want to be unselfish and give without a second thought. I want to always be patient, understanding, and forgiving. I want to be self-sacrificing while remaining strong and influential. I want to be people's shoulder to cry on but also their hand to hold and person to laugh with. I don't want anyone to be afraid of telling me things or feel like I'll judge them. I don't want to expect anything in return and I don't want my character to revolve around people loving me or not. ...I basically want to be Jesus.

INFJ Problems

Not being able to trust MBTI character typings because most people seem to have no idea what an INFJ actually is.

INFJ Confession

I rarely open up whenever I'm faced internal conflict. If I do choose to share, it's only after I've implemented a plan and have fully processed the outcome of said course of action.

Them: “Yeah, I’m the ____ type!”

I feel like most INFJs can relate to Lilo.

INFJ Confession

I'm what you'd call a stress cleaner. Anytime I'm feeling anxious, I'll start organizing and picking up things without realizing it. When I start pulling out cleaning supplies is when you know something is really wrong.

If you make an INFJ feel understood, be prepared for the most profound love you have ever experienced.

INFJ Profile

INFJs often get the title of mysterious from the fact that they live life in their heads. Their inner world is extremely rich, brimming with passion and complexity. As they are future-oriented, they are often focused on crafting romantic ideas, interpreting intuitive visions, and organizing their deeply-held values. When coupled with their (extreme) perfectionism and intense love for others, this idealism is what makes INFJs truly tick. There are very few people that seem able to match or understand this thought process and passion. Most INFJs are aware of that, and since they hold their inner world so dear to them, it can be a very arduous process for them to fully share it with anyone. It often doesn’t matter how long you’ve known an INFJ; to see their core usually means that you have met a specific number of their requirements. These requirements are usually an inexplicable connection between the two of you, deep trust, and an understanding (or at least acceptance) of the INFJ. In other words, INFJs reveal whatever they want to whomever they want whenever they want. It’s very rare for them to slip-up on what they consider private.

Can’t tell if it’s mystical intuition speaking or just irrational anxiety.

I either do everything over the top or not at all. There is no in-between.

How To Spot An INFJ

Asks “are you okay?” more times in five minutes than you’ve ever been asked in your entire life.

Believes they are right about everything and will boss you around accordingly.

Cold and calculated on the outside, warmest person you’ll ever meet on the inside.

Gets unnervingly passionate about everything.

"I know you better than you know yourself."

Mentally snaps when perfectionist visions do not transcend into reality.

Opens up about their feelings only to apologize for it afterwards.

Still feels like a mystery despite how much they’ve revealed to you.

Vomits a jumble of words when talking but writes like a Nobel Prize-winning poet.

Will say something extremely intelligent and then accidentally run into a wall.
