My life as an INFJ


The struggle for understanding is real!

Growing up I never really understood why I couldn't connect with others.
It's not that I'm anti-social or can't communicate. I'm friendly & overly observant. I become immersed in others lives and know all about them, but then realize they've only scratched the surface with me....That's my problem.

After a failed marriage, I looked at what I could have done differently.
I decided to learn about myself. Love myself. Understand myself.
How could I more effectively communicate.
How do I show love. How do I feel most loved.
I needed answers because If I was ever going to have a successful relationship in my life AD then I needed to know what to fix. Isolate problems and create solutions.
In order to do that, I needed to understand myself.

It was like I was opening my eyes for the first time. Things made sense!
With knowing my personality type and knowing other's types, its been easier to understand the way they love and communicate. It saves frustration and less assumptions are made.

INFJ Profile

I'm a complex creature.
I know this, but that's the beauty of it.
We are all different but if you try to understand yourself and your partner on a different level, you will come to understand that a functioning relationship is possible.
Learning to communicate is frustrating but if you are willing to understand how and why people think the way they do, you won't have as many problems.

And Here

There are very few people I connect with in this world, one being my best friends Jacqueline. 
Through the years I could never really understand why we had this intense connection.
We have the same views on life, love, politics and self worth. We love without fear of judgment from one another, she was my rock during my divorce and is my confidant. A few months ago we were talking out personality types and she said she is an INFJ....... Well of course she freaking is.
Its beautiful how we find people in our lives and things just click.
Good lord I love that woman.

In conclusion my friends:

Find the person who balances you. Who comforts, supports, and accepts you for who you are.
Who communicates in a language that you understand!
Opens your hearts to the possibility of love.

Cheers.
