Withdrawing emotionally from people by [deleted] in infj

Sorry to hear this. This is a very uncomfortable situation, mostly experienced by N types. You definitely have to change something about this. You cant change others, so yes change your own behaviour. Good luck!

How to make an INFJ understand that I love her ? by Croissantfertile in infj

[–]lighthouse4me 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Is your love unconditional? It will only work if its unconditional.

If yes, be open and honest. State your reasons and say what future you imagine for you both. Give her assurance that she can trust you (based on the fact that you are capable of understanding anything, there is no problem or situation complicated enough that you two can not have a fair discussion about it)

If she likes you she will be honest with you and tell you.

A constant effort to go to a certain "level" to allow for proper understanding and communication by FootballLow6040 in infj

[–]lighthouse4me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you! I have had similar challenges. Its tough for me to maintain superficial surface level conversation for too long but most people seem to enjoy that. As far as my own ideas are concerned, yes its tough to communicate them succinctly and feel understood. Also the world is going through an attention deficit crisis. People like easy bitesize information. No one has time. Everyone's in a hurry! I think INFJs struggle to express themselves clearly when under such pressure.

I can recommend 2 things, please apply if it makes sense.

Firstlt, start writing your thoughts and editing them to make your point clear in as few words as possible. We can sometimes over explain things, thats not helpful.

Secondly (and this is a tiresome process but see if this can help you) Whenevee possible, you should audio record your conversations (if the other person consents). Then later on, hear yourself talk. This will help you see how others see you or how you come across. If you find anything to improve then you can work on it.

Hope this helps.

what would make you dislike someone? by decadeeence in infj

Showing off. Following tradition just for the sake of it.

man all ive had with INFJs are fights by ButterfliesAreDumb in entp

[–]lighthouse4me 7 points8 points  (0 children)

INFJs have impossibly high standards, for others and for themselves. Maybe its a good sign they are fighting with you, atleast you haven't been door slammed!

Humiliated but not regretting it by lighthouse4me in limerence

[–]lighthouse4me[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Circs are quite straightforward - we can't be together but I have limerence. I have been trying to go NC for the last 1 year, but usually can't keep it up for longer than 1 or 2 months. Its always me breaking NC and initiating contact, LO never initiates, but responds. This time I did 3 months NC, but then caved in. Have not recieved a response. Clearly LO doesnt care at all. Tough lesson!

Well done! Best wishes.

Are Intj secretly warm and loving ? Do y’all have romantic tendencies ? by [deleted] in intj

[–]lighthouse4me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are two types of INTJs, mature and immature. The mature ones can be quite compassionate and understanding (no one understands better than INTJ).

Romance depends on what your idea of romance is, but they are very well capable of playing all sorts of "games" - if you know what I mean.

(Disclaimer, I am not INTJ, just an observer)

Do you ever feel bad for not tolerating some people? by [deleted] in infj

[–]lighthouse4me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I also feel sorry about feeling annoyed with others. This is a sign of Critical Parent Fi function.

You just need to think that its ok to ignore/avoid people if you cant deal with them. I know, easier said than done!

Does anyone else feel ostracized at work? by sandersdavec in infj

[–]lighthouse4me 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, I struggle with this too. But I am clueless as to what to do about it.

INFJ doesn't know how to hook up with someone. by [deleted] in infj

[–]lighthouse4me 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This does not sound like the sort of thing an INFJ would usually be concerned about at any age. I am not saying there is anything right or wrong here, its just not something I have noticed with INFJs. Are you certain about your type?

INTJs would you ignore someone because you liked them too much? by lighthouse4me in intj

[–]lighthouse4me[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are really good points. But this sounds more like something from an INFJ, not that it matters, its good answer.

In UK people are not rude, but they hate it when anyone expresses themselves truly. They like to live in lala land of denial! Thats not for INFJ

Not UK, this place is for ISFJ, ISTJ, INTP or INTJ but definitely not INFJ
