You'll realize, "Ah, it's these specific types of people that can't handle my awesomeness!" And once you've got that figured out, trust me, you won't give a darn about them or their drama.

What kind of people seem to always get triggered by you just being you?

[R.S-]

People confuse Nice & Friendly for stupid & naive, Happens to infj's all the time. ✌️😉

[danielcann]

1. Anyone with authority who doesn’t like being questioned or welcome new ideas.
2. People who prefer to communicate through hidden messages.
3. People who feel insecure when they see someone else’s light

Moral of the story… be an INFJ anyway 😘

[icalotdonthide]

I hate having to be mean, and usually it's because I have no choice.

[icalotdonthide]

I can't help that people get triggered by me being comfortable with myself and attempt to assign me a role in their made up play.

[simplypositiveme]

This is why I keep to myself....easier.

[alicia_nicole]

I don't know if its an INFJ thing but several times I have entered a new friend group and unintentionally outed a serial liar. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Setting boundaries is key! NO! Im not doing this with you. Take your aggression somewhere else!

[michellem]

Omg not putting certain people on a pedestal in the corporate world is totally what I do. In my previous jobs, I always found it strange how my co-workers would walk on eggshells. If I expressed any kind of feelings of not being treated well by my manager I always had this feeling like I was being some kind of troublemaker. This shut up and do your work and take the abuse is not for me and it shouldn't be for anyone. I see us all as equals and we all should be treated fairly. I think this is why I'm not big on celebrities' lives. I might admire them but I see them as the same as me.

Wow 😮 🤯 that so true, everything makes so much sense now.

[youngdre]

The most dangerous person is an unpredictable person. As you stated, by not reacting to their aggressive behavior, it angers them even more because they dont know how or when we will react. If they can get you to react, they can control you, and we refuse to be controlled.

As an INFJ, I'm friendly and kind until I'm not. I'm an alpha but I watch, listen & learn so I can know who I'm dealing with.
I trigger bullies just by being friendly and intelligent. When i determine that they're bullies, then I pull away. If they keep coming at me, I will find a way to create a distance between us. If they continue to harass or try to intimidate me, I give them a tongue-lashing like they've never had before. I can be quite scary when I finally react. 😅
I've told narcissistic people that they're narcissists and I don't tolerate their manipulative, self-serving behavior. They might end up hating me, but they know not to F with me anymore. 😊
I had a female acquaintance who put me on a pedestal but she was shocked when I finally told her off for her immoral, bad behavior. She was cheating on her husband and using me as her counselor. She didn't listen to me anyway, she just needed a priest image so she could confess her sins.
I knew it was the end of her imaginary friendship with me and I was So glad to get her off my back and out of my life. 😏
As a result of my many interactions with many unsavory people,
I love being alone with my rescue dogs. 😌

I would suggest, as a middle aged INFJ, post several “dark nights of the soul” that it isn’t necessarily that we seek to validate, so much as we see the light within others, so clearly, it outshines superficial defenses. We genuinely love to express the beauty we see, in the world, in general. Not specifically to “validate” a person who has an insecurity. Quite the contrary, in fact. I only choose to suppress the desire to acknowledge a person’s light, when I sense that person needs validation, frankly. It’s about the motive. In principle I believe in validating the soul; the light in the world, not to pacify insecurities.

[myredrose]

People are triggered by me, because I'm just not like them. I'm me, happy being me.😊

[The_Real_Rasha]

Once worked at a restaurant, along an “alpha” who kept trying to get me to react. Gotta say, it was fun to make silly reactions they didn’t expect, like I couldn’t understand. LOVED to see the frustration.

INTJ also see others at eye level. We have the same intuition as INFJs. I think being friends with an INFJ would be awesome. Why are they so rare?

[aniokay]

The things that hurts the most is when people you have validated before and helped invisibly turns out you and decides that you're the problem, because they are so unwillingly to see the real problems in their own lives.

[aniokay]

Yes, yes, yes. The number of times I have put myself down in order for others to feel good is insane. I do it unconsciously as a survival strategy in order for me not to seem threatening. That was necessary in my family home to keep the peace.

[thirstwithoutborders]

"You may be nice on the outside and send only positive messages, but inside you judge them quite harshly." Yes, this so much. I feel like this is what is a major difference between me and my ENFJ bestie, she really gives people the benefit of the doubt, but also let's you know when she starts judging you. While I can try to optimise my communication for whatever direction I want this to go, even if my internal thoughts are different. And then people get whiplash when they cross me once too often. I should be more authentic, either I care and stay with the positive messaging or I let them know what I think, albeit gently.
