Q
Hi, I'm an INFJ and whenever I'm with someone who I'm interested in I can become very annoying, talkative, and slightly rude.I hear the voice in my head saying "don't say that" but I do anyway... How can I prevent myself from doing this?

Hello!

I would just slow down and think about what you’re saying! And remember to breathe! I always tell that to my talkative friends when they just keep talking.

Try to let the other person tell you their opinion for a little bit. But be careful! If you don’t agree with them, don’t shut them out. leave them room to argue with you.

(Just a small tip, when you talk to people you don’t know very well, stay away from controversial topics! Ask them what they think about the songs played on the radio, it’ll start a good healthy discussion!)

I hope this helps! :)


Q
Hi, I'm a male INFJ and I know when my female friends' periods are, its so weird, I just know, why is this?

Well, that’s just your introverted intuition working its magic! (Or curse if you feel that way!)

I hope this helps!!:)


Q
Hello! I'm 18 and have M.E. (CFS) and depression, is this normal for an INFJ? I feel so drained all the time yet try to do so much for my friends and aquaintances, at the expense of my health, and I get so so angry at them (when they dont understand it) and my health, which just makes me worse!

Hello! Depression is a normal thing in teenage INFJs! If you feel that you need to, go see a therapist and get some professional help! (If you have not already)

Your CFS is probably from helping your friends so much along side your depression. I don’t feel CFS is common with INFJs but I could be wrong!

I think you should take a week for yourself, and rest up. Shut off your phone and just be with close family members for a little bit! After, you should feel really refreshed! That should help a little bit with your CFS.

I hope this helps!! :)

A psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they’d be asked the “half empty or half full” question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired: “How heavy is this glass of water?”Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.She replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it’s not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn’t change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.” She continued, “The stresses and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed – incapable of doing anything.”It’s important to remember to let go of your stresses. As early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don’t carry them through the evening and into the night. Remember to put the glass down!

Q
I'm an INFJ in a relationship (with an INFJ/P) and I don't want to leave but I don't know if I should stay. I love them, but don't know if they're 'the one' I should marry. Does this understanding and certainty come with time? Or should I be certain reasonably quickly? It's just i usually instinctively know what I should do, i don't regarding the future of this relationship and we've been together for around a 14 months...

Hello! It’ s been a long time since I had a question on this blog!

If you don’t feel like this person isn’t ‘the one’ then I would leave the relationship when you’re ready to. If you’re having fun with this person, and are very happy, then I don’t see why you can’t stay around for a while

I would break up with them if you feel like they’re going to propose soon, so you don’t end up in a sticky situation! But otherwise, I don’t see why you should break it off just yet!

I hope this helps! :)


Q
Do INFJ males gravitate to women that are not well suited for them? I have several male infj friends who try to "save" the woman they date? Is this normal?
Anonymous

This is also normal for all genders! It’s just natural for INFJs to try to fix the world and the people around us! But this often leaves us in heartache, so I would watch over your friends and make sure they don’t get into too much trouble!

I hope this helps!:)


Q
Is it common or normal for INFJ's to attract controlling relationships? (both platonic friends and romantic relationships)
Anonymous

It is very common! I often try to let my friends make choices on where we go out or what they want to do, so I don’t end up trying to control the situation as much!

I’m also sorry for the very late response, but my tumblr seems to be having problems. I turned off missing e to see if I could get some help, hopefully the problem will be fixed soon!

I hope this helps!:)


Q
I'm really thinking about what I want to do for the rest of my life (career wise.) Whenever I think about staying in that one career or life or whatever I get really anxious and start to freak out. Is that normal for an INFJ? Complete anxiety about "settling down?"

This is normal for anybody! The future can be a very scary thing! My advice is to pick something that you like doing, and stick to it! That way, you’ll be really happy as you get older! And when the time comes, you’ll be ready to settle down and grow older.

I hope this helps! Good luck!:)
