Social confusion｜“I’m obviously kind, why are I always misunderstood?”
INFJ faces a contradictory state of 'high sensitivity and low expression' in interpersonal relationships:
- Like deep connections, but afraid of being rejected;
- It understands others very well, but it is not easy for others to understand;
- Good at listening, but not good at expressing your emotional needs.
This makes INFJ prone to excessive efforts in interpersonal relationships and ignores self-boundary boundaries , which will cause relationship fatigue and internal friction in the long run.
