New Relationships for INFJs with Attachment Issues 

For INFJs, known for their deep empathy and idealism, new relationships can be thrilling yet terrifying. The excitement of connection battles with the fear of getting hurt, leaving us caught between wanting intimacy and pushing people away. 

If you’re an INFJ who struggles with attachment, this post is for you. Let’s navigate the rollercoaster of a new relationship while keeping those precious walls from completely shutting us down.

When Your Gut Knows: Attachment Wounds and the Intuitive Soul

Intuitive individuals often possess a heightened sense of awareness, picking up on subtle cues and emotions in themselves and others. But this sensitivity can be a double-edged sword when it comes to relationships. Our deep understanding of human dynamics may lead us to unconsciously reenact childhood attachment patterns, creating a cycle of hurt.

Disorganized Attachment for INFJ & INFP Types

I believe that more people have a disorganized attachment style than is realized by them or by others. The information on the internet typically describes disorganized as a combination of avoidant and anxious styles, typically coming from childhood abuse. A disorganized attachment style is also called fearful-avoidant or anxious-avoidant. In my experience, it doesn’t always come from abuse, and especially for INFx types, it seems to come from emotional abandonment from 1 or more likely, both, parents.

INFJs and the Attachment Wound

Anyway, I am back again, to talk about INFJs and relationships. I am fully convinced that no one gets through this life without some sort of trauma. The problem for INFJs is that we also pick up on others energy, which gives us “energetic trauma” also, typically from childhood.

We Are All Human, and We All Have “Stuff”

I’ve been reminded again and again over the last few days how easy it is to disassociate from people we don’t know. It’s easy to think that people we don’t know don’t have any issues or pain, and on an even farther scale, that they are actually somehow evil or bad. The thing is, we are all human. We all go through this thing called life, and not a single person has it easy. We are all here to learn and grow and figure out what the meaning is for each of us. No one has the right to determine that for anyone else. 

INFX Types and How the Remote Work Possibility Changed Everything

commonly known as being quiet, sensitive and kind. When the COVID ‘19 pandemic hit back in early 2020 in the Unites States, many INFX types were forced to work completely remotely, possibly for the first time, and possibly permanently, because many companies realized they could save money on office space by having remote employees. 

Introversion versus Shyness

In our society, the word “shy” seems to be the go-to word for anyone who seems quiet. People notice those who don’t speak much, and instantly label them shy. However, there is a big difference in the meaning of shy and introversion. Additionally, social anxiety tends to go along with shyness, not necessarily introversion. 

Impatience

The topic of impatience has come up a lot for me lately, and not to mention, it was a recent topic in Lauren Sapala’s most recent class called The Joyful Writer. I never thought of myself as an impatient person, in fact, I had been complimented on my extreme patience and low maintenance in the past. But I recently realized that while I have patience for other people, I do not have patience with myself. In fact, I was so caught up in being impatient with myself and feeling like I was running out of time all the time, that was what was causing issues in my closest relationships.
