INFP: Most Judgmental Type?
I wonder. I really do. Is it healthy for me to be associated with an INFP? And if they desire authenticity above all, why not show or tell?
More than likely, they do show themselves. They do portray their mood in many cases.
However, they make commitments that have a 50% reliability rate. Nothing is set in stone—even from the mouths of the most honest ones. Because what they meant yesterday is no longer meant tomorrow. What they said even isn't what they necessarily meant, because there was a "tone of voice" that was more accurate than the actual word or promise made—and you were supposed to read that!
They are genuine but not open about it. There's always something "beneath". This is very apparent to me. They fall silent. To me, that means introspection.
If they're so geared on authenticity, why do they withhold their attitudes about me or others? Why talk about superficial things with me? Everything about them is suspicious and untrustworthy.
And yet... many INFJs are rather INFP-like.
INFPs are so capable of looking past the facades of others for the very reason that INFPs are so capable of putting up their own facades. INFPs, in self-defense, often don’t want others to be able to read them.
