The INFJ

What if we know how it felt to be different but we can’t do anything about it when some other friend is going through the same experience? I feel helpless; I can’t help them and I can’t help myself. To me, this kind of pain is so much the same way of pain I felt for Indonesia. I know there are a lot of things to do for my country but I don’t know how to start. I feel useless; I feel helpless. I can’t do anything because in all my life, I’ve never felt so much accepted by my surrounding community myself (even if my community says the whole different kind of shit). And to tell you the truth, really really honestly, I’m not feeling too well with myself lately. I don’t know why this happens this way though; the fact that I had’t been forcing myself too much on anything in the past few weeks made me feel bizzare why it made me like this.

I’ve experienced this kind of thing a few times almost at every year, but it is as heavy as it once looked.

As for an INFJ, these kinds of feelings are one of the worst feelings I would have to posess for sometime besides being neglected and appriciated.

 It’s hard to be an INFJ to be honestly. INFJs make up only 1%-3% of the population, the rarest of the personality types. We tend to be perfectionists who fear we aren’t living up to our potential. INFJ’s can always list the things they’ve left undone but have a hard time counting their accomplishments.

INFJs hold strong convictions and are deeply affected by the suffering of others. However, because they are introverted, they prefer thinking about weighty issues to talking about them. Those who are activists – a role toward which they gravitate – take up causes for moral reasons, not for personal glory political power. Although INFJs are gentle by nature, they are formidable in battle. The highly developed intuition of INFJ warns them when trouble lies ahead – for themselves or the world. Some people find INFJs pessimistic or even a little paranoid. However, INFJs are more often right than wrong because their intuition is so accurate. This ability makes them effective problem solvers with the ability to act insightfully and spontaneously.

INFJ alone stands for Introversion, iNtuition, Feeling, and Judging personality type. The Introvert needs privacy and solitude, generally avoids large social gatherings and is happiest either alone or in the company of one or two good friends. Intuitive people tend to act on their hunches, which are usually sound. They’re skilled at sizing up others and knowing when situations are risky. The feeling person is more likely to be swayed by sentimental considerations and has a softer heart and the Judging type is more focused and comfortable with closure than the Perceiving type. People with a dominant judging function rarely miss deadlines or are tardy for appointments.

And by how that is supposed to explain to me of what made up my personality, you can check the rest of the article about my personality type at wikipedia by typing in the keyword “INFJ personality types”. These 4 combinations are founded by Myers-Briggs, and I did just retype them from wikipedia for my own cause.

I hope by the way you know me more can make us better as humans and you can also take your own personality test at 16personalities.com . That website helped me a lot to understand how I really am today. I’ll see you very soon. Ciao! –red
