7 Things You Should NEVER Say to an INFJ

Has someone ever told you something that caught you completely off-guard? How did you respond to it? For the most part, INFJs are understanding and empathic MBTI types. They are open-minded visionaries and can get in the shoes of their conversation partner more naturally than others. But despite their gentleness, they are far from perfect. Here are some things people say that cross a fine line and test the INFJ’s patience.

Disclaimer: The MBTI is a personality inventory designed to roughly identify a person’s personality type, split into 16 categories. As such, it may contain some slight inaccuracies, so take it as a list of rough tendencies rather than strict classifications. This video's primary intention is for providing entertainment and light-hearted content.

Saying “you're too sensitive” to an INFJ is like signing up for your own death sentence.

[caitstenz]

As an INFJ, I’ve definitely made mental notes on people who have invalidated my emotions and have never disclosed anything personal about myself again. Seems like INFJs are very cautious about who they choose to vent to or seek advice from.

[kG-uqju]

As an INFJ, I can be empathetic. But when it's my turn to express how I feel or vent, some people would be physically there but not really willing to lend an ear. It hurts sometimes that we don't get the same amount of sympathy at least. And when I don't open up, I am told that I am too distant or indifferent. I feel like I don't belong in this "dimension" or something. And yeah, telling INFJs that they're too sensitive is that red button that must not be pushed.

The absolute worst thing for INFJ's is being attacked for who they are. If we made a genuine mistake, alright you know. If we could do something differently, that's fair. If you're telling me i'm dumb, too sensitive, not empathic, ignorant etc. then you're just upsetting me with how wrong you are.

“You’re too sensitive”

“You should be ashamed” that one really pisses me off. No one is more critical of me than myself, so when more people attempt to keep adding on top of it, I just disconnect from the conversation and stop listening to the conversation. Also, “you’re too sensitive” does it for me too.I’ve always thought there was something wrong with me, but am I’m learning a lot about myself now than anything my parents ever taught me. I’ve only ever learned how to work and how to obey, but never taught how to be me.

definitely the “i’ve had it worse than you”! i can’t even BELIEVE people would want to say this in the first place!! i feel like it would effect all people, maybe not just infjs. and “you’re too sensitive” definitely.

[Cherry_Blossom.-.]

This is all so true, as an INFJ the “you should be more practical” is so true for me. I’ll admit I daydream and dream a lot, I have HUGE imaginations, some people think I’m weird for that, and also the “I’m too sensitive” is also very true. I had therapy for 6 months before, to atleast defend myself now. And I’ve had people tell me they had it “way more worse then me” mostly when I was in middle school, this is also another reason why I WAS introverted and I lacked the confidence and courage to speak up for 3 whole years. Now I’m just getting my life on track, being an INFJ certainly doesn’t make me feel special at all, honestly I wished to change myself before, but a few people have taught me to accept the way I am.

So please to whoever is an INFJ, If this is happening to you in your life, make sure to always be positive and don’t let other people’s opinion matter to you if they do say something bad to you. ^^ ♥️

"You should be ashamed"
Shame is probably the worst feeling i've ever had in my life, so i can perfectly relate to this

[consoleguy]

If this is happening, I would like to request a series of this that is just every personality on the MBTI thing.

Fun fact: INFJ is the rarest mbti type, with only 1.5%, and yet, 99% of the viewers are INFJ.

One of the most hurtful things I was called by my toxic ex-boyfriend was "You're being a crybaby" as well as "You're way too sensitive" like literally all the time. When his jokes were made at my expense to make fun of me. I broke up with him because I got tired of being disrespected so yeah #1 really resonated with me. Fellow INFJs, there is nothing wrong with being sensitive. Empathy is beautiful, and our emotions are valid.

[gracemhaedits]

Being an INFJ, I find it really cool that you're doing these. Keep up the good work, love your videos! This video is really accurate too.

[LONNESYRUPBITCH]

Actually you shouldn’t say these to anyone.

[aaronmason]

In the old days. This was called an old soul. Which I think sounds better than INFJ. Old soul sounds far more prestigious.
