    INFJ Life Coach Lesson: Today we're talking about INFJ - The Outsider. We all know INFJs are considered outsiders. Most of us feel like we're the odd one out. This isn't something new, but I honestly believe that it's so much more than just that we don't fit in. It has that much more to do with the fact, that we DO know what's going on in society. And that is because of our Extroverted Feeling. We have a sense of what is the norm. We have a sense of what is wanted, and because we're so aware of it, we also see the discrepancy between who we are and what society honestly wants from us. So today we're gonna tackle this topic because I believe we can change the entire narrative. I'm not here to tell you you're not an outsider because you are. It's more about embracing that. But then it's about seeing that we could connect THROUGH that on a level we never thought possible.

    What are your thoughts on the topic INFJ = Outsider ?!

      Wenzes for me it runs very deep to the point where I feel like I don’t belong here. Let me explain in no way shape or form am I in any hurry to check out I just don’t feel like I fit here on earth and I got a long line to go home and this place don’t feel like home. It’s not an ET thing It feels more like going on a very long trip and you can’t wait to get home to the wife and kids but you don’t know where home is sorry all new to me stirs up a lot of emotion thanks for your help your videos are priceless

      You nailed it. There aren't a whole lot of people I can be myself unfiltered around. Also, I gave up on the idea of being able to truly fit in anywhere because I know I'm unable to do that.

      @Johnny Embrace that, connect with people through feeling your uniqueness...the less you try to hide it the more you realize that you are the center of your life and your only truth...show all those unique traits of yours and let people connect with you through your truth.

    I have often felt like an outsider, and I think you are right: it isn’t that I really wanted to be part of a particular group, but more like I felt disturbed that I wasn’t included. Excellent video.

    My dad always encouraged me to be a square peg in a society full of round holes.
    Turns out I'm actually a triangular peg that doesn't fit ANYWHERE lol.
    99% of society doesn't understand, so I thank you for making a video that celebrates our INFJ-ness and encourages us to rock the triangular peg identity.
    As an INFJ the most validating feeling for me is that of finally being understood by someone else. To know there are other people like me, and that I'm not as alone as I feel most of the time.

    What’s awful is the only way I don’t feel lonely is when I get a genuine connection with another person. This takes time and patience. Just hanging out with people doesn’t cut it. So it’s not as simple as going to the bar and chatting with the bartender.

    As an older infj-t I can concur. Its 2020 and social distancing is the new normal... As an infj it's a way of life.. To quote a part from an old 1970s favourite movie of mine Robert de Nero's character in ((Taxi driver)) says... Loneliness has followed me everywhere my whole life, in bars, in cars, in stores, sidewalks....EVERYWHERE .
    I'm God's lonely man .
    And so it is for many infjs in this world .

    As a very young INFJ, I relate this to the shallow seas and the deep oceans. As a former island boy, the beach is by far the most popular spot to go to for relaxation. After a while however, trust me, you will get sick of it. What fascinates me now is the deep oceans because there is so much to discover down there and I think the same way about life. There is a lot that the depths of life have to offer, yet I notice what the "norm" of society and most people I know is to act as you if you are on the shallow beach. I find more fulfillment and meaning in the deep oceans of life rather than in the shallows. Yes, one must occasionally rise to the surface for a breath of fresh air, but then its back down to the depths. Unless someone is ready to take the plunge with me, then let them view me as an outsider, but for those whom want to take the plunge, get ready for some real discovery!

    I've felt like an outsider most of my life and it really has stemmed from people not being able to understand my personality. It is a lonely feeling when you feel you can understand most people but most people can't understand you.

    Lately I’ve been trying to express myself more, to stand for Who I though of myself, to let the real me lead my life. It’s kinda scary cause it shocked many people, specially the closest to me. I’ve been feeling so lonely since I was a kid, and the last few weeks I decided to show this bravely, that I’m not lonely, I’m just different. It’s not that I don’t fit in, but they’re not the right circle for me. This really made me feel braver and greater, and more confident. Thanks for this video, it makes me want to be ME even more🤍

    There are many channels here on YT hosted by INFJs giving their advice for living. They are on my 'Outsider List'. You, however, with your passion and perfectionism, are our Light Bearer of INFJ truth and knowledge for action. I am 77. Life has not been easy, but I have enjoyed being way off over there doing my Zigging as I watch the others in their regimented Zagging. I have seen the change in you in the last couple of yours.

    I found this video to be affirming of things I've learned in the past - and your fresh new insights as well.
    Two points you made in this video stood out for me (and probably others).
    1. When you told us to embrace being an outsider and a "take the story out of it. "
    2. When you told us that when we show up as our authentic selves, that those who dont like us will distance themselves and that this is good, not bad.
    It's a relief when we learn that we don't have to please everyone.

    I always felt I was on the outside looking in. Like something fundamentally about me was flawed. It’s hard because we live in an extroverted, shallow world where the traits we have are the opposite of what society expects. That’s the good thing about getting older, you just learn not to really care anymore(it’s exhausting anyway).

    Extraverted thinking is not logic, it's rationale. Logic (aka introverted thinking) is about telling truth from what's not true. Rationale is about statistics and probabilities: what's more effective in a particular situation.
    But your material is pretty great and on point about the topic.

    As a 37 year old INFJ-T guy, I often feel like I should tie a heavy weight to my leg and throw myself into the sea. I only know one other INFJ personally but she lives 2,000 miles away. When we talk on the phone, I feel normal. The older I get, the more I feel like I'm losing my mind. I'm a nervous wreck, feeling like I'm moving 150 miles per hour in every direction at the same time, but I'm actually moving -150 miles per hour in reverse. It probably has something to do with having only a hand full of friends and family. Overall, I'm probably moving toward a positive breakthrough because I'm starting to care a lot less about everything and I'm just waiting to fade out.

    Hi, I really appreciate your video. Discovering this made me feel like I'm not alone, your video also points out a possibility I've never imagined before. Since young I always have an image of what I should be like when I got older, how I should act, what occupations I should do to make people see me in the way I want them to.
    I wish to be happy living a life I pictured but after seeing your video I'm unsure if the life I'll lead will be as I imagined it to be. however, I have been (successfully) following the image for my whole life and to the point that I'm not sure if it is what I really like doing or is it an imaginary feeling that I created to match my situation. Do you know of any case where people truly find their passion through the image they created? (I'm still not sure if I'm doing all this just because I'm too scared to step out of the box) I don't know if it is ok for me to ask this much here but if anyone has been in a situation like mine I'd really appreciate it if you could give me some advice.
