1. Don't want to be the bad boy/girl because we're people pleaser
2. Taking things too personal
3. Losing touch with their true selves, we absorb the characteristics and mood of our surrounding
4. INFJ Neuroticism, obsessed to worrying, perfectionism.

5. Afraid of inconveniencing others, don't want to rely on anyone, want to be self efficient
6. overly overcautious, like to play safe, planning

"perfectionism often leads to procrastination"

I.. I felt that. Most of the time.. No.. Always

[ChicBookFiend]

This hits too close to home. I’m a proud INFJ, but I seem to be a magnet for narcissists and other users. I’m being more cautious about that.

[luisforeal]

Being quiet makes you appear unpredictable therefore people will see you as a threat and be cautious around you... Don’t reveal your true colors EVER.

As an INFJ, I’ve got to admit that every one of these are spookily spot on.

[karynchase]

Yes the unknowns are the scariest part of any new path or decision. I need all the information to feel comfortable about it.

[Lyz.ette.x]

I’m not afraid to hurt someone if it means them knowing the truth or my honest opinion. If people are asking for trust they’re also gonna have to live with hard truths.

[Silva.C.FazbearProductions]

Not being competive is not always such a bad thing you know. I acknowledge that it might be perceived as a weakness, but to me, it's not. I'm a proud INFJ and I am not ashamed to admit I have those traits, good and bad.

[brooklynitec]

OMG! This is 100% spot on! It's almost scary.

[mindzful]

I hope you make a video of us INFJs who are lost and are drawn to the darkness.

[elizabethpetersen]

My trust is very fragile. If you break it, i will forgive you, but there’s no guarantee you’ll get that trust back and if you do, it won’t be the same.

[swampemo]

The part about losing touch of your true self is so accurate it hurts. My personality changes drastically based on who I'm around bc I feel the need to blend with the other person and be what they already think I am. Its almost uncontrollable and I do it unconsciously.

[marizabarnes]

I already overcame #1 and #5, I became much more assertive.
My life changed drastically for good and my relationships too. It took me long though.

[originalZzZ]

number 3 just explained and answered my whole life and now i notice that lost myself trying to fit in even tho it made me feel more alone and more misunderstood.

[shaunekaiser]

Really great. Absolutely accurate. Thank you.

[laurinnovations]

So ACCURATE! The Pisces horoscope description doesn't miss a thing either! I need to find out why I'm seeing 222 everyday. I wonder how this works??? And all the coincidences that happen on a daily basis. It's kind of weird and I would love to know what it all means

[muneebkhan]

I must Congratulate " Personality Theory" for uploading this Incredible stuff
I watched numerous videos on INFJs but only ur channel provided the most accurate information eg Ambivert portion of this video

The INFJ thing, people jump in the conversation before I am finished. Nearly invariably they have no idea what I was going to say. For me to explain it is almost impossible. They will just jump in again before I am finished. That's why now I dont say anything unless I am asked to.

[productions]

oh! this is
pulchritudinous, i savvy your presentation because it helps me decipher my me fully.

[lindabilodeau]

So true. Finding this out over a lifetime, then to have it confirmed is mind blowing. I wish I'd had this knowledge earlier.
