I just love listening to INFJs talking because it feels funny to hear my own thoughts being said out loud by someone else, while I think that I am a weirdo.

Talking about my emotions is so hard. I need to find the right person to talk to. Not everyone is there for you in those moments. It's disappointing when you are there for them, but when you need help, they disappear. :/

Can you do a video on INFJ toxicity? I'm an INFJ and feel like I'm becoming toxic and self-centred because of all overthinking. Like you said, I'm always by myself, processing things, and kind of ignoring everyone else and their problems.

2020 is one big Ni-Ti loop.
And it only seems to get loopier.

I am ENFP with an INFJ partner. These videos are SO HELPFUL for me to understand him better. He is very good at understanding me but I'm not so great always at understanding him. I see him stuck in "the loop" from the outside, but I have no idea what's going on in his head or what he's stuck on. It can be very frustrating because until he pulls himself out of it, he won't say anything at all. So I find that I just have to wait (sometimes for days) until he's ready to talk about it. Which is easier than it would be for others, because as ENFP I can distract myself pretty well! I'm glad to hear that spontaneity is good for INFJs, that's definitely something I can bring to the relationship 😂 I would love to see similar videos about my type or other types, the way you explain things really makes sense!

As an INFJ I have learned that the best Fe Se things I can do for my Ni-Ti loop are:

-Take my husband or best friend prisoner and make them listen to me talk about the spaghetti in my head til I feel better. Tell them not to try and fix it.
-Throw the kids in the car and /spontaneously /go to Barnes and Noble or out for junk food. Or just to buy myself a little something.
-Gardening. I have a huge garden where I am growing 60+ varieties of plants. Any time during the day I need a mental reset (I’m a stay at home mom, which is particularly exhausting for an INFJ—it forces me to use my Fe and Se ALL the time) I walk out to my garden. That is my ongoing, real world, sensory project that literally grounds me.
-Give myself permission to put the heavy stuff down for a few days and enjoy videos like this and other encouraging, non-confrontational material to which I am not compelled to assign meaning. :)

Been waiting for this! Still it took me a lot of time to shut my mind off and actually focus on what you're saying. 😂

This explains a lot actually! As an INFJ I always wondered how could I be so emotional and racional at the same time. I'm really sensitive to feelings and emotions (altough I don't feel comfortable expressing them to others), but I have this need of logic and objectiveness in life. While studying I always needed to understand the logic of things or else I couldn't memorize them. It's really interesting to understand how the perception of paterns and symbols, when allied to that need of logic, can boost your awareness of what surrounds us. Eventually I ended dedicating myself to a field which combines perfectly the both core strenghts of an INFJ : Architecture. It's the perfect discipline for people who want to create something emotionally meaningful yet concret and objective. Thanks for clearing that out!

Whenever I realize I'm in an Ni-Ti loop, I immediately stop the train of thought. I won't come back to the topic later until I have external information (Fe, Se) that can feed my Ni/Ti for correct analysis. Otherwise, the loop goes on forever.

[misterspongeward]

I'm not an INFJ, but I have a horrible loop of Fi-Si in INFP where I'll get emotional over past things and long for the good ol' days again. It's kinda weird.

[pianolover]

"Try to be spontaneous." I love this and totally relate!! I have to plan my spontaneity! Thanks for sharing this helpful info about the Ni Ti loop. - a fellow INFJ

I've been stuck in this loop for years with my writing; stories that should be written, edited and published within maybe 2 years have taken me 6. I feel like I am slowly pulling myself out of it by reaching out to others for opinions and help. I imagine the perfectionism can really make the Ni-Ti loop insanely difficult too, or at least it felt like it did with me.

[aswineditz]

I am a 16 year old teenager. I grown up by seeing conflicts in my home. And it made me a cold infj. I am in a ni-ti loop. I am trying to improve myself. Now my responsibility is to recover from this loop and Be a good infj. This 2020 gave me lot of benefits. I improved a lot. But still this loop is a big obstacle. It makes me to procastinate.

[stormcrown]

I agree completely with you, the best way to get out of the Ni-Ti loop is to force yourself to go in the outside world, to interact with people and to get new information (so you can feed your Ni with it and improve it in that way). We need to keep in mind that all this Ni-Ti stuff is only in our mind, it's not reality! I know it's hard to get out of the perfect and idealistic abstract world in our mind, but this is not real and we have no advantage of beeing stuck there! It's much more satisfying to learn and improve our abilities and to use them in the real world!

Holy crap, I don't know what's happening today but it's like YouTube is psychic and knows exactly what videos I need to watch. I'm an INFJ, and over the last few days I've fallen into this deep rut that it's hard to get out of. It happens mostly in the middle of the night, and I end up not being able to sleep until morning (6-7am). It's been terrible! Basically what happens is I start over-analyzing all of my choices and stressing about the things that I'm doing. It's a perpetual circle, because I realize I'm worrying about things I shouldn't be worrying about and then that makes me worry more. lol I begin to fear how my mind will process actual problems when right now it's suffocating over things that aren't that important. I fill myself with self-doubt and then get mad at myself for it. It's really silly but it honestly feels crippling.

[gracified]

The exercising thing is so true! It obviously won't miraculously solve your problems, but it takes your focus away from them. Engaging Se is SO important for your mental and emotional health, which sucks because it seems like we never EVER even notice that we need to worry about things involving Se. I've found that painting, gardening, cooking, and yes, exercising, just make me overall feel amazing in comparison to when I don't do them. It is extremely important, and honestly I believe it's one of the key things that help make INFJs feel happier in life.

[hollyp.]

Exercising? Spontaneity? 🥴 I’ll try it Frank, but I’m gonna complain the whole time!

[alanamontero]

Having ENXP friends helps with engaging spontaneity. I mean, sometimes they might drag you screaming and you're thinking "What is this madness?!" but you're there and over time it grows you. Plus, you have experiences that you wouldn't otherwise have.
