I dont think the INFJs need any more people telling them how superior they are to everyone else.

A misconception about INFJs is that because they prefer Feeling they are less likely to be interested in intellectual endeavors. Nothing could be farther from the truth... In fact, they rival and resemble INTs in their level of openness and hunger for new ideas and perspectives. In some regards, they may actually eclipse INTs with regard to intellectual openness, readily appreciating both science and literature, fiction and nonfiction, poetry and prose.
While INFJs are deeply theoretical, they are less impressed by theories built by a mere assemblage of facts or data. Rather than being “fact” oriented, INFJs concern themselves with forging new connections and reconciling opposites by way of their Intuition. They feel that everything is somehow connected to everything else, forming a vast and interconnected web. For INFJs, discovering truth involves getting a better handle on the nature of this connectedness and the holographic patterns of the universe. In fact, this happens to be one of the signature strengths of their Ni, which subconsciously processes and synthesizes copious amounts of information, wraps it up in the form of a symbol or metaphor, and proceeds to upload into the INFJ’s consciousness.
I don't understand why it's supposedly so hard for INFJs to explain themselves. Usually I can pinpoint exactly what an INFJ is trying to articulate/piece together when they are struggling to do so, and explain it back to them. It's not like the thoughts or concepts are incredibly complex or anything either. Can't you guys train your Ti to look inward so that you can piece out how you reached your conclusions to others in a clear cut way?
I can see and understand your perspective - but you cannot understand mine

The reason it's hard for me to explain myself in many situations, is that i see something crystal clear, while others are completely blind to what i see - but for them to understand it, and for me to explain it - i have to disconnect from my feelings and intuition, and connect to my hard logic, and then back and forth in order to put it all into a formula that thinking people will understand. This is very exhausting to do, especially in the middle of a conversation. I usually do these connections when i'm alone. My brain goes to travels inside and all sorts of awesome connections between my left brain and right brain are made. But doing this in the middle of an argument for example, is just extremely tedious and annoying. Especially when people condescend, thinking they are superior because you don't have the "scientific evidence" they are looking for, while you are understanding the situation so much better than them. It's quite ridiculous sometimes.
I think it's ridiculous that anyone would think it to be ridiculous to be asked for proof or explanations, especially if you're all going to be going on about how you understand things so much better than everyone else.
I don't go on about how i understand things so much better than everyone else when in an argument. Besides, i don't always understand better than everyone else, just most of the time. When it comes to understanding people well, it's always, so far.
Anyhow, that's the way it is. And i'll tell you further why it is like that... Sometimes explaining how i know something would require half an hour even if i was fully connected to my thinking side (which is quite strong by the way). I understand things very deeply sometimes that in order to explain them i have to explain certain unconventional 'networks' of knowledge inside my head... In short... If you don't like talking to INFJs...

I'm just gonna jump into this real quick and say that such is your fault, not anyone else's. You are not a special snowflake because of being an INFJ. You are different, not better.
I don't think i am better. I know i'm different. I stopped reading here. It seems like you have some issues with your self and you choose to throw them at me instead of settling thing on your own.
