I was bullied in school because I was too quiet and ended up with social anxiety. Because of that I could not focus and I was bad at school. Thats why I became a carpenter when I was 15. It turned out that building stuff is something I actually like but Im just way too slow and Im clearly better in intellectual jobs. Im 23 now and Im still a carpenter but I will study nutrition and I will develop better wood carving skills to have a back up. However over one year ago I became the organizer of Anonymous for the Voiceless at my local chapter. We show people the consequences of their actions with TVs and conversations in public. We remind them about their responsibility as adult humans and we try to inspire them to make better and more peaceful choices when it comes to eating those who do not want to die and causing enormous environmental destruction with it. I worked on my social anxiety for years but nothing helped me better than talking to hundreds of people on the street and being a leader. I finally found my purpose. I could never go back and just sit at home, just doing nothing. Now my life is about fighting for those who suffer the most and for our future and it was one of the greatest changes in my entire life. So my advice to you all is to find something you care about deeply and to take action. It will fulfill you like nothing else
Me too...still working in call center trying to get out of it but to support the family .evryday I need to talk to myself a lot to work anyone's suggestion for career wud be welcomed thanks INFJ
I actually decided that if others can't understand me it's because they're not suppose to. Plus being it they don't get me I might as well work on being who I am and taking that to the next level because I'm never going to get their approval anyway. It is the most amazing freedom.
I'm an INFJ, I used to be a musician and now I'm a full-time caregiver at home and I'm still searching for what I can move towards in my future for a career. Great video, and it's so true about loving research. I even tend to research obsessively in my hobbies also! :)
I used to be a pro musician as well! I think we would do well as a musician if we are the ones creating the music, like a studio musician, etc. but stay out of the spotlight. So not a performing musician.
realizing now, ive never fit in since i was a kid, even till now, but i know how to manage it and im still working on opening myself up to express myself
I'm an INFJ, and I am a professional Chef. lolol I've thought I needed a career change for a while. It is very hard to find any companies that would hire someone with 100% restaurant experience on their resume
When I was a teenager my parents though with limited means decided to send me with relatives in a vacation for a month because they were worried I was reading so much. Haha. Im reading because I wanted to understand life, existence, death, meaning and myself having this odd feeling of not really belonging. But not in a bad way. Just feeling different. Ive worked through with myself and have this enough peace knowing its fine being different. I finished medicine, did some rural work for a few years, newly married, just moved to a new country. Content and at peace. And yet also constantly Im wanting more. Thats an INFJ.
One of best INFJ career advice videos I have seen, thanks for providing some great examples. I work in complex sales, the job has aspects of it where I thrive, but get way too drained at the end of the day as it’s leaned more towards a lot the things you mentioned INFJ are not so good at. It’s classic golden shackles scenario. Keep making vids, thanks!
I'm a infj I often feel like I don't fit in. The only times I can remember having the sense of fitting in is when I could help make needed improvements
I am an INFJ growing up I didn't know what my personality type was till now. I am currently seeking a career work setting that works for my personality. I enjoy deep conversations, and hate small talk. This video is an exact reflection of my personality as far as likes and dislikes in work environments. I'm thinking about going back to school for either therapy or sonography. If anyone has any recommendations for career settings let me know. Comment below.
I'm an INFJ, just finished high school in 2019 and still trying to plan out my entire life career before I commit any time towards any particular career or major. I always felt different from most people especially with my desire for deep abstract conversation. I love politics and people acuse me of getting too political in every conversation because I see how every aspect of life in some way revolves around politics and polocy making and I cringe to see people's lack of class consciousness between the bourgeoisie and proletariat and our imperialist policies affecting the lives and production in the developing world.
People are so scared to talk about what is important. Also, I think I scare people when I talk about politics or what you refer to as "deep abstract conversations". I am a quiet person (obviously), but when I feel strongly about something I come on strong and I may appear to be a little bit self righteous. This is especially true when it involves the unfair treatment of people.
I work in the my local District Attorney's Office as a legal administrative assistant abd victim assistance coordinator. I love being able to help keep my community safe.
i am an INFJ ! Really accept these facts which are so true! I love research,Creativity,Helping or Serving people and I hate being Centre of attention! But i could find my passion or purpose in life
Never fit in - but I have always accepted that and made it my personal selling point - the most diverse experiences or interests - can really add value / insights to issues
I’ve felt like I haven’t fit in my whole life but I just make myself fit in somehow! I’m an INFJ and Enneagram 2 w1 working as a corporate buyer and I am pretty miserable in my career. It’s one of those careers that’s evolved over time into what it is now and I’m so burnt out! I’m just really struggling with my next move and starting over at 35.
I am a PTA who's going into SLP. Love the therapy environment! But I don't like working in settings where I'm expected to be bubbly and make small talk, so I like being a float and not getting too involved with politic stuff.
I've been working mostly alone since 1993 and enjoy having unique projects other people could not handle. Your comments on overanalyzing are on target. I've been out of place my whole life, but at 67, have accepted this. I found early on that working in a regimented, micromanaged environment was toxic to me. My Dad told me as a teenager that I would not like the military, and now I know how right he was about that. Just tell me what the end goal is and don't tell me how to do it, unless I ask for help. I might ask you for advice to get your input, and not take it. That irks people.

Me too...still working in call center trying to get out of it but to support the family .evryday
