The INFJ Struggle: Why We Overcomplicate Everything (and How to Stop)

INFJs can be deep thinkers, idealists, and champions of all things that feel meaningful. But sometimes, our introspective nature and desire for understanding can lead us down a rabbit hole of complexity. We take a simple situation and turn it into a multi-layered labyrinth of “what-ifs” and hidden meanings. Sound familiar?

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.

Extroverted Feeling

Hello, my fellow Fe users!  I had a realization about Fe that makes so much sense, it felt visceral when I thought about it. When making new relationships with others, I tend to “go with the flow” when something arises because I genuinely don’t mind making an exception for someone when it allows me toContinue reading “Extroverted Feeling”

How to Mitigate Stress for Each Type Based on the Inferior Functions 

There are a lot of MBTI articles out there about stress and the inferior functions. They say that living in your inferior function for too long can cause stress, and then you will be in what’s known as “grip stress”. I’d like to take it a step farther, and discuss my theory that if we play with our inferior function a bit, we can help it to mature.

What Causes Pain for Each Cognitive Function 

Each Myers-Briggs type has a dominant cognitive function that they use to process information that they take in from their external environment. Anytime they interact with someone else or the environment, they receive information and process it through their first cognitive function. They typically also use this function to make the majority of their decisions,Continue reading “What Causes Pain for Each Cognitive Function “

The Inferior Functions and Why We Should Develop Them (What Each Type Might Regret Not Paying Attention to When Making A Decision) 

Each MBTI type has an inferior function, which is the fourth function in the set of cognitive functions. For most people, the fourth function tends to become developed later in life, once all the others have been developed. When each type experiences grip stress, they tend to live in their fourth, inferior function in anContinue reading “The Inferior Functions and Why We Should Develop Them (What Each Type Might Regret Not Paying Attention to When Making A Decision) “
