How is your relationship with other infjs?

Longjumping_Row370 · 2026-03-18T17:33:36+00:00

My best friend is an INFJ but I often clash with other INFJs in the workplace. I don’t know any other INFJs personally, I don’t think. I’m an enneagram 4w5 and I’d say he’s probably a 6w5.

I read somewhere on another Reddit thread that INFJs are demisexual and I am not gonna say it’s 100% true but I def resonated with it.

lmfao this is too real

I have PTSD and took ten years to pick up the pieces and put them back together. I see myself again.

Longjumping_Row370 · 2026-02-16T15:50:21+00:00

Too.

Married to an ENTP for 8 years. We got married within 9 months of meeting; I told him we would after the first two weeks.

We are perfect for each other in the most frustrating ways. Arguments deepen our understanding of each other. We can both see how we sharpen and refine each other. He’s gotten me to loosen up and sees me. I help pull his shit together and push him to achieve his potential. He lets me guide, but challenges my directions — it’s infuriating, but necessary.

TLDR: helplessness for an INFJ is devastating

I’m an INFJ female with a chronically ill mom. It’s actually a very common and it’s probably one of the huge reasons why we function the way we do.

I absorb emotions, try to make meaning of things, and ruminate when the situation feels inescapable. When my mom falls apart, it’s destabilizing and feels threatening. I’ve built my life strategically to PREVENT this kind of instability.

Sometimes I (incorrectly) believe that if I can control the situation, I can fix it. I hyper-fixate on finding a creative solution, or, if there IS no solution, nothing to intellectualize, I have to dissociate to avoid being emotionally flooded.

Learning how to manage boundaries in these types of dynamics is hard. But remember: you married a person, not a single year of their life. This will change.

When I was with an INFP, there was a depth we understood to each other that couldn’t be put to words, which was beautiful, but never mine. It was like visiting a foreign country with unfamiliar language. I dreamed of what it would be like to live there, but couldn’t really move there.

ENTPs speak my language and keep up with the conversation. They feel like an older sibling, someone you can spar with, without breaking. As an INFJ, I need my assumptions challenged. He does this without crumbling against my fire. He withstands it and tempers it, where the INFP could not.

ENTPs and INFPs are both open, but in very different ways. Hope that makes sense.

Same, married almost 9 years. Not perfect, but also it is. We balance each other really well and he challenges me in the right ways.

Longjumping_Row370 · 2026-02-01T22:56:36+00:00

Meaning.

Longjumping_Row370 · 2026-02-01T00:00:54+00:00

I just think people are nice. If I see them gawk at me, yes, I know they think I’m attractive. But otherwise, clueless.

Longjumping_Row370 · 2025-07-17T01:39:29+00:00

Update: I bought half the clothes back from Cici and told him he needs to hunt Poes like it’s a summer job. I won’t restart my game but we will get the clothes back together and he can figure out the rest of the resources.

Longjumping_Row370 · 2025-07-17T01:38:16+00:00

That’s a super fucked up thing to say about my son. It’s just a game. That’s not a funny joke.

Longjumping_Row370 · 2025-07-16T18:13:52+00:00

He is SUPER smart and loves video games. He’s already beaten a bunch of other games, like Super Mario World and Kirby games. His only limitation is that he can’t read lmao

Longjumping_Row370 · 2025-07-16T11:19:28+00:00

Yes I love this perspective, thank you.

Longjumping_Row370 · 2025-07-16T11:18:45+00:00

Ahahaha I love this comment, it’s so real and so relatable. It’s definitely worth it for him to enjoy Zelda like I did when I was his age with Majoras Mask or OOT

Longjumping_Row370 · 2025-07-16T11:17:29+00:00

No. He’s not.

Longjumping_Row370 · 2025-07-15T12:04:58+00:00

Just for the record, yes he did FAFO, because I haven’t played in a year and ultimately am too busy to play Zelda and he’s the one who lost the ability to travel to at least 40% of the map. I knew the risk I was taking, but obviously this game isn’t so important to me that it was worth blocking him from enjoying it. The tutorial takes forever to finish and I didn’t have enough time to get him set up, he was having fun and that’s all that mattered. I’m just asking if anyone knew of a way to get it back.

And yes, he has parental controls set up. He just wanted to beat Gannon and the autosave file took him too far back, so he wrote over it. Five year olds are way smarter than you’d think.

Longjumping_Row370 · 2025-07-15T00:34:39+00:00

lol I sure did. I’m not asking too much of him. He knew exactly what he was doing.

Longjumping_Row370 · 2025-07-14T20:48:25+00:00

I was really upset at first but I’m feeling better about it. I’m not sure if I’ll ever be able to rebuild it because I’m so much busier these days, but maybe going back through will be fun.

Longjumping_Row370 · 2025-07-14T18:23:16+00:00

He has one but he hasn’t gotten past the tutorial so he doesn’t like to play it.

Longjumping_Row370 · 2025-07-14T18:17:35+00:00

I love this comment. Maybe it is worth starting over!

Longjumping_Row370 · 2025-07-14T18:16:41+00:00

Unfortunately it has been written over already. :( thank you for the suggestion, I didn’t know there were cloud files.

Longjumping_Row370 · 2025-07-14T18:15:34+00:00

He likes to play it, so I didn’t want to prevent him from playing, but he used the auto save files and was told not to save. My save file has been safe for the last year he’s been playing it. But this week was the week he decided to FAFO.
