....Not that it means we are any better lol but I'm an INFJ and would like to know more about the negative qualities about this type and what I should be trying to improve upon. Sometimes it is hard being as introverted as I am but having such an emotional response to everything. I guess I perfected the mask so well that even people I know well sometimes view me as unemotional which couldn't be further from the truth. Any input is appreciated, thank you 🙂

I know that feeling. I'm not unemotional either. I just tend to do tough love than try to be easy on someone who's complaining about how bad things are now. I care about some peoples feelings and how you shouldn't be reckless with some but some people need to stop complaining and just deal with the issue instead of running to me or other people for help. I can give personal experience with something I've dealt with but not help. I try not to come off as unemotional either but some people interpret it as that and I simply think they're mistaken.

Hi!Nice to find other INFJs on here. 🙂

Personally, I feel that the fact that we are sensitive to emotion (of any kind) has it's pros as well as cons and sometimes the cons are really heavy. So, in a way, this is a negative trait.

Other than that, I'd say that INFJs get disappointed a lot since we expect too much from other people because we invest too much in them (once we decide they're worth it, of course). I say all this from personal experience, and maybe it's just me. But I thought I'd post about it anyway!

i am new to this site and already feel my life is starting to make sense. I can relate to all you're saying. its truly inspirational and a little daunting. I am in a predicament where I am actively walking out of my job to take a silence stance on being walked over. I have given 100% in a job that means nothing to me because i am a nice person and truly want to try. but as soon as i am pressured i walk, I want to try but once i am hurt, id rather crawl off and gather my inner self. The trouble is i am a hard working person to the outside, yet more of a dreamer than a doer on the inside ;/ i know i am in pain, after loosing my granddad (the only person who loved my soul inside and out) and now need some guidance, or at least a best friend. My BF loves me, hes an aies and no the most "emotionally soothing" type, he's a lover but I don't think he'd understand if i talked about my inner struggles, he sees me as a "boxing, laughing, dancing, play fighting" lover, and thats what sets me above his last relationship "not so pessimistic". I just need some motivation to get a job i love, stick at college, which is hard and keeping swimming upwards. as these waters are about to get very dark. please help 🙂 xxxxx
