Why INFJs INTIMIDATE Others (Even Without Trying)

In this video I discuss how the INFJ personality type is the most intimidating MBTI personality type of all. When others meet the INFJ they know something is different.

For one thing, INFJs have an uncanny ability to predict future outcomes for both individuals and society. In addition, INFJs can see through the masks that people wear to conceal their true feelings.

All of this adds up to the fact that INFJs are super intimidating to most other Myers-Briggs types. And this can often cause INFJs to be misunderstood or left out of social groups.

I hope you enjoy the video!

People have always considered me creepy because I can read energies, the older i get the more honed my intuition becomes and at this point on my life i try to avoid people at all cost...

[CC-mrxq]

From what I’ve experienced, people have been intimidated and envious of INFJs. As a woman I’ve been bullied and backstabbed by other females who resented my depth, sincerity and originality. Keep your boundaries and learn to hardcore stick up for yourself, otherwise you’re throwing yourself to the wolves. And do not cast your pearls before swine.

And do not let them win.

INFJ"s beware of those with antisocial personality disorder and sociopaths.
I am not easily fooled.
I learned to trust my intuition early on.
It has never been wrong.
The few times i dismissed my intuition and went along out of peer pressure or influence of others...
i paid dearly for it.
Don't over trust your spouse or family.
Best regards,

We seem to attract a lot of Narcs too for some reason or other. Can spot them a mile off now .

Sometimes it's so overwhelming being me. I usually only leave the house once a week in the winter, sometimes not even once. Very few people have compatible, safe-feeling energy. I have a lot of trauma thanks to narcissistic abuse from family and other things that have happened in life, so that doesn't help the effort it takes to be out in the world.

[LostInnaPainting]

thanks for making these kinds of videos it really reinforces I'm not alone in this world & that I'm not some crazy wizard alien. Phew.

[ItsMeHello]

Personally, I run into people that are taken aback by independent thinking, logic: all used with confidence. And being correct when you call out the wrongs. They act as if you are stealing their air. Today, for my peace, I just stay away from most. Love it. ❤

I can't tell you the number of times people look at me and say, "How did you know that?" my response is always. "I just know." they hate that.

[ThatsaTechnicalFoul]

I just want to say this channel and (few) others like it have offered me more healing than therapy ever has. Our depth of feeling can’t really be comprehended by others, even those who are well-meaning, decent people.

I wish I’d known as a child there were other people like me in the world. Aside from my own solitude, these spaces are the only place I feel I wasn’t simply dropped off on the wrong planet.

[b.wilder]

All true- on the nose. I JUST told my mom via phone last night, "When it does happen, you'll forget that I even said this."
And a recent ex-supervisor would say that I and a co-worker were "always complaining." Um, no, we ask questions and we come to some great solutions that YOU won't try. After a couple of instances, she started bullying both of us, which to me and my co-worker was so obvious, yet others didn't seem to see it.
Life's weird, man. Listen to INFJs! lol

[Susweca]

I wish I had known I was an INFJ 50 years ago. How different my life & choices would have been.
I used to be confused and often hurt by the way people were afraid of me, but now I deliberately use it to my advantage.

[Queen_Sylvia]

I know the scientific community has downplayed the validity of Myers Briggs and I certainly wouldn’t advocate for its use for hiring people, but ever since I discovered I was an INFJ, so much of my life began to make sense.

As others have shared here, your videos help me feel seen and understood. I truly struggled with feeling alone, outcast, misunderstood and unseen as a child and young adult. I was trying so hard to fit into a world that just didn’t seem to resonate with me. As I’ve gotten older, I have learned that I don’t need or want to fit in with more traditional ways of being. I love my unique way of living my life.

I see being an INFJ as a gift and super power. I feel it is my responsibility is to use that gift to help the world in a time that help is so sorely needed. I’m different, I’m empowered, I’m informed and I’m confident in all of that. Not arrogant. Some will never understand me and yes, some will be intimidated or hate me. Their opinion of me is none of my business and I proudly live my truth and love myself. Thank you for giving voice to our community!

I wish I'd known and understood this at a younger age, but glad to be aware now.

[frizzlefry]

I watched an analysis of INFJ's as having neural diversity, it was spot on.

[lisaraymond]

My journey started by seeking a relationship with Jesus, who I knew was 100% real. I wanted to understand everything, because my reality never made sense. The pieces of the puzzle are coming fast and I can't wait to see how this all plays out. It is a difficult path and John 15:18-19 helped me to brace myself and understand that I was in good company. I really enjoy your depth of wisdom. God bless

[McGrawofHeardIsland]

So, I think we have a natural talent for noticing and understanding patterns, whether that be psychological patterns or patterns in history or patterns of behaviour in groups and families. So we know how each story begins and ends. As for spotting wrong ‘uns, I literally sense and feel someone’s fakeness, just as I can sense discomfort or sadness or lack of confidence in another.

I started taking intricate note details as a child. I'm 75 now. 😮

[thesfanatic]

I was bullied at school and at home. And also abused. My dad, auntie, and cousins were narcissists. I was yelled at, gaslighted, manipulated, and betrayed a bunch of times. That was years ago. I'm approaching 50 now. The reason why I'm intimidating now is that I'm protecting myself from being hurt again. That is what we INFJ's do. We have severe trust issues. It's very hard to trust others again. That is why we're like that.

[ThatsaTechnicalFoul]

I’ve been predicting future event since I was 4. I always felt that because my energy is so quiet, I perceive things in my environment that others can’t. I have a particular “gift” (doesn’t often feel good) to see the very specific darkness people hide, even from themselves. I’ve always been told it was my gaze. Some people can sense the moment I identify the evil within them and will refuse to look me in the eyes again.

Beyond that, I actually smell things emitting from people. I grew up around child predators & was abducted at 6. Ever since then, sexual predators have a strong, metallic smell to me. As a child, I used to call it “the green feeling” because I always saw the color green take over my vision. It was this yellow/green hue that always made me think of infection.

[PalaszewskiFamily]

I'm pretty sure they burned people like us at the stake back in the day. It still feels like society resents INFJs and I hope with the awareness you bring, that things change. I really enjoyed this video, and feel like you spoke to the scared inner child that is still in my mind. 🙏🏻
