Among the Myers-Briggs personality types, the INFJ personality , also known as the 'advocate', is the most mysterious and affectionate category of the MBTI 16 personality. They often use 'emotional filters' to understand the world and interpersonal relationships, and attach great importance to deep emotional connections in intimate relationships. But this does not mean that INFJs are free to express their love—in fact, they are particularly sensitive to the misunderstandings caused by poor communication.
In love, understanding the other person's love language can greatly improve each other's intimacy and trust. This article will combine the personality traits of MBTI advocates (INFJs) to deeply analyze how they express love in close relationships and how they want to be loved, helping you better understand and fall in love with people with INFJ-type personality.

How does INFJ personality express love?
1. Psychological support: Silent empathizer
INFJ is born to be good at listening and empathy. When they express their love, they often do not through exaggerated words or external expressions, but through stable and deep psychological support. In an intimate relationship, INFJ is willing to be the emotional supporter you can trust most, listen to your troubles quietly, understand your vulnerability, and respond to your truest feelings in a gentle way.
But as an introverted personality, INFJ will also worry about whether his expression is appropriate and whether it will be misunderstood. Therefore, the way they express their love also reflects their sensitivity and adaptability to the other party's emotional needs.
2. Time and company: I wish to devote my energy to you
Although INFJs are calm on the outside and independent on the inside, they are willing to spend more time and energy than usual in the relationship they truly recognize. They believe that love is not a romantic act that is superficial, but a deep companionship and soul communication day after day.
INFJ attaches great importance to high-quality companionship . The deep interaction that can deeply explore life, ideals, and emotions is one of the ways of expressing love that they value the most.
3. Thanks and affirmation: a delicate expressor
Although INFJs don’t like to talk big, when they really feel love and gratitude, they often express it in a sincere way, such as saying “I love you” directly, or suddenly sending a sentence “Thank you for being by my side” on an ordinary day.
INFJ's way of expressing love may be delicate, it may be a look, a compliment, or a secret completion of housework that you don't like to do. Behind these actions is a word that is not said: 'You are very important to me.'

How do INFJ personality likes to be loved?
Although INFJs are often the party that provides emotional value, they also desire, need to be understood and cared for. The problem is that when they accept love, they are more likely to be anxious and uneasy than when they express love.
1. The feedback of psychological support: true resonance
Advocates hope that the other party can be like themselves and willing to listen and understand their complex inner world. Instead of expecting each other to be a psychologist, they want to have a safe emotional space—a place where they can show their vulnerability without being looked down upon without reservation.
This support is particularly critical for INFJ-T (turbulent type) with high emotional sensitivity . Only when partners can accept their imperfections and provide an emotional sense of security in a consistent way can they truly open up.
2. Thoughtful action: Action is better than words
INFJs are the type of planning-oriented (Judging) , and they usually have a bunch of to-dos and psychological burdens in their daily lives. When you take the initiative to take on some small tasks, such as cleaning, buying groceries and cooking, and quietly dealing with something they are troubled by, these small actions are heavy love for them.
Especially when these things are noticed and taken the initiative , rather than being executed after they are proposed, it will make INFJ feel 'seen' and respected.

Summary: INFJ's love is a deep emotional connection
For the INFJ personality, love is not a performance, nor is it a pursuit of passion and glitz. What they pursue is a close relationship in their souls, a partner relationship that can understand, support and grow together. Although it is not easy for them to start a relationship, once they identify each other, they will do their best to maintain that precious connection.
If your partner is an INFJ, or you are the type of personality yourself, remember: understanding and being understood is the love that INFJs desire the most.
