Hey PSYCH-Os!👋
*So, would you consider yourself more emotional or emotionless as an INFJ type?*

I’ve been contemplating these emotions for a long time. People call me cold-hearted and at times they say I have the biggest heart in the world and I am the kindest but I have noticed that when people try to hurt me, I have no emotions and my heart feels nothing but when I see a sad movie I can actually cry and shed tears for a movie, knowing that it’s not real and yet it moves me. I cannot cry when people try to hurt me, it’s such a contradiction of feelings. Thank you for giving me a sense of normalcy♥️

This is so spot on for me. The inability to articulate how I feel to myself, let alone anyone else! Yet I can end up an emotional wreck when watching a film, seeing a sad news story, people who are suffering or even a piece of music my souls connects with… but always when no one can see me! Heaven forbid I should ever burden someone with my emotions!

I was taught from a young age emotions are ignored. Then in relationships crying is blackmail. So now I only ever cry alone. I actually find it extremely hard to cry in front of anyone even trusted people in my life including family members. I have actually been asked what are you some kind of emotionless robot? Before. Which made me feel hurt and proud at the same time, cause as a robot I can’t get hurt which has happened so much throughout my life (from sexual abuse at the hands of relatives from the age of 6 to domestic violence at the hands of my partner later in life). Still at the same time I am the most compassionate and caring friend and confidante having gone through so much myself, I just can’t share my own pain as no one seems to want to hear it. I feel as INFJ’s we get overlooked as the ones who need to share at times and who could use the shoulder too because we can be reluctant to open up until we really trust so people just assume we are doing fine and just dump on us and never think to ask how we are. I have just learned my “hate journal” is a good place to write it all down otherwise I might just up and door slam the whole friggin’ world.

That explains why I cried, when my mother did. Or when I cry to movies and books as a kid.

As an INFJ I can tell you this is quite true and we will do everything we can to not show anything to anyone but the second we are alone, we can let it rip and let ourselves go. We do hate it at times, but we don't want to show our vulnerability to anyone. However, around anyone we truly feel we can trust (If someone ever makes it that far) then we could either let a little bit of it slip, or we could actually let loose in front of them if we fully believe that person won't judge us at all. Otherwise, we just won't let ourselves out at all in front of anyone. I do hate holding myself back, but if I don't feel anyone will understand then I just can't allow it. We are very in tune with other people's feelings and so we will feel whatever someone else is feeling. We need to be completely alone if we are to figure out our own feelings on most things really and tap into our introverted feeling from our shadow functions. Sometimes, I slightly envy INTJs for their Fi, but not often and not allot either, just very slightly. So yes, we can be both emotionless and overly emotional. I think it really makes people wonder when they are trying to get me in an emotional state and I stare at them with a blank look on my face, possibly using the INFJ stare. Which reminds me, when ever I see someone kinda react in some manner like taking a step back or doing a double take or something, I know I am using the stare and I find it intriguing.

I struggle in forming friendships with other people, I think partly because I hide my feelings for fear of being hurt or ridiculed. I find a lot of people quite challenging to deal with but work very well with young children whom I instinctively understand how to interact with. I have been working in schools for eight years now and find working with the pupils easier than dealing with other staff. I think part of this was probably down to having a toxic mother whom I used to have to walk on eggshells around.

I always thought I was weird. I'm even confused with myself most of the times, I'm very sensitive and at times I can be very passive and no emotion at all. It's exhausting

I was an emotional stuffer because my negative emotions were not acceptable. This contributed me developing an auto immune disease. I am very emotional, though I do try to maintain control over my emotions. I've also realized the importance of my emotions, of allowing them to surface, to be felt and released. And this contributes to my healing. 😊

Never say to an INFJ to not care so much about others or what they think. Cause if they do as you say, they can do it very seriously and become a terrible person. Caring and paying attention to what people say is what makes them a functioning human being and the person that they are.

This is SO me...
And THANKS for breaking it down for me and other INFJs...
Wavering between both states 😮
When I am realistic and matter of fact, i am SO cut and dry.
Then something moved me (human condition, animals, nature, beauty, suffering) and i am all melting and overwhelmed....

As an INFJ this can be very frustrating at times as the suppression of emotions that may be undesirable in a given moment often leads to an unintentional suppression of all emotions, it's helpful to not let other people see sadness or anger when trying to help them through a situation, as displaying those emotions can often make a situation worse (especially when the emotions come from empathy rather than natural thought and would distract from the needs of the person being empathized with), but I have found that it often goes against positive emotions as well, being excited to see someone, but being stone cold on the outside, wanting to show compassion, but outwardly appearing sociopathic. Figuring out healthy ways of expressing emotions and relating to people in ways they understand is a struggle, lack of emotional display does not equate to a lack of emotion, just uncertainty in how to externalize the emotion.

Always felt I was pretty cold-hearted when I felt no need to cry even when people died...but if the people around me started crying, then I cried. Was a bit of a relief to know I could, even if it felt like cheating.
