'Encourier' (INFJ) in MBTI personality type: How to improve communication problems in romantic relationships?

Love/Relationship interpersonal relationships 3232

In interpersonal relationships, especially in romantic relationships, healthy and supportive communication is crucial. Although many people have some reservations when expressing their emotions, as the 'employer' (INFJ) personality type in MBTI, they are usually better at in-depth and sincere communication with their intimate partners.

However, even such a naturally understanding person may fall into some typical misunderstandings in relationship communication. This article will start from the perspective of MBTI personality to explore the problems that INFJs may face in love communication, and provide practical suggestions to help them establish a more harmonious and realistic intimate relationship.

1. To maintain tranquility, suppress your own needs

INFJ has a strong sense of responsibility and empathy, and always hopes that I can do more for my lover, even if I have to sacrifice my feelings. They are typical 'paying personality' and tend to maintain harmony in relationships through silent sacrifice. However, this approach is often prone to emotional backlog, which may cause resentment and psychological fatigue over time.

🔍 Common communication traps:

Unwilling to express your true needs, afraid of trouble for the other party
Having the fantasy of 'TA should understand me'
Express emotions in a vague or indirect way, such as sighing, silence

✅ Coping strategy: express it more directly

If you are an INFJ, realize that expressing your needs clearly will not make relationships fragile, but will instead be the cornerstone of building trust. You can start with some simple 'I' statements, such as:

'I'm a little tired, can you help me...'
'I'm a little unhappy today and want to talk.'

Direct expression does not mean indifference, but a mature communication method. Telling the other person that you are practicing expressing yourself more openly will make them understand and support you more.

2. Over-interpretation of the other party's words and behaviors

Because INFJ is extremely sensitive and intuitive in personality, he often looks for 'deep meaning' in the other person's words, eyes, tone and even silence. However, once this trait is not well managed, it is prone to misunderstandings and even emotional overreactions.

🔍 Common communication traps:

When the other person's eyes or tone changes, he starts to think randomly
In criticism or suggestions, it is easy to hear the signal of 'not being loved'
If you don't ask the true meaning, just make up for the plot by yourself

✅ Coping strategy: Use questions instead of guessing

Make good use of questions, such as:

'Did you just said that mean...?'
'I may have thought too much, can you explain it?'

Remember, you are not a 'mind reader', asking does not mean weakness, but a way to establish connections. Repeated training yourself to judge based on facts rather than based on sensory imagination will help you face uncertainty in your relationship more rationally.

3. It is easy to 'over-confess' in intimate relationships

Most INFJs usually act restrained and restrained, but once they have established a sense of security, they tend to share the entire world in their hearts and prefer in-depth dialogue rather than superficial greetings. Although this is a lubricant for intimate relationships, there is also a risk of 'over-confession'.

🔍 Common communication traps:

Tell uncontrollably when emotions strike
Ignore whether the other party is in the receiving state
There is no clear purpose of expressing the expression, just catharsis

✅ Coping strategy: Think clearly about the purpose before expressing it

Before expressing your opinion or criticism, ask yourself:

'What do I hope the other party knows about this?'
'What kind of outcome do I hope to achieve?'

Control the rhythm of expression and adjust the wording, such as in more empathetic language: 'I know you've worked hard, but I still want to share with you how I feel.'

When you can organize language more rationally and express emotions clearly, communication will not become an emotional vent, but will build a bridge of understanding and trust.

4. Transform goodwill and sensitivity into constructive communication

The biggest advantage of INFJ personality in a romantic relationship is its natural tenderness, sensitivity and idealism. However, if kindness does not have a sense of boundary and sensitivity does not have logical support, it will have side effects in the relationship.

If you want this tenderness to truly become a nutrient that promotes relationship growth, you must realize that communication is a skill that can be learned, not an instinct that can be accomplished by feeling.

✅ Summary of practical suggestions:

Don't let the other person guess your emotions , it's easier and more effective to say it
Don't use brain-making instead of asking questions , clarification is the real connection
Determine the purpose before contributing , not venting, but solving
Moderate self-revealing , but retain a sense of rational boundary
