So... bashing, clearly these people are intimidated/fear us... otherwise they would not have so much active hate going on. I will have to say I really liked this one:
"yeah, ghandi and mother theresa suck.
i hate INFJs."
I would consider this quote from one of my favorite books very descriptive of us in could be considered good or bad way.. at least it describes me very well: "Ruthless idealism implemented pragmatically" and this about a character that is incredibly practical, does not like having to interfere, but knows that if he does not then things just won't get done. The lesser of evils. I do what needs being done because it needs being done and if no one else will than I will. If they dislike that then they need to start fixing their own problems and leave us alone to ourselves, we are fine with that but if you ask me to take care of your problem I will, just because you don't like the solution does not mean you would like any of the other possibilities any better.
Also... I would say that more people than one would think are INFJs... at least I am pretty sure some of my friends who claim to be INTJs are really INFJs from what I have seen. Anyway, each person is themselves and can portray any traits they choose and these may change on the day or the situation. Categorizing can contain any good or bad traits you have ever seen and seems slightly silly in this fashion...
Also, many of these are mocking of the question itself or in support of INFJs... I think that is a testament in support of us more than a bashing because there are only a few and it is pretty easy to tell that they have been hurt in the past by some key individuals that they think might be INFJs. Our annoying tendencies are not so bad it seems if ranting and walling others out are the only consistently bad traits they can come up with.
Oh, and this one seems so cute/funny, you can tell he really likes us despite his best efforts ^_^:
"I hate INFJs. They are so perfect, it makes me sick. I mean, they are so versatile in their knowledge of things and can always present themselves like they know exactly who they are, even though some don't. Its what one sees on the outside that really impacts first impressions, anyway, so what does the other bullshit matter?
What really pisses me off is how they can be like a tank emotionally, and yet still not be a robot.
God, I wish they would all die. I'm so sick of their causes that actually give their life meaning while everyone else sits around and plays with their dicks. But to do that, we'd have to get past the most awesome INFJ of all.....ByMySword. Man, that guy looks at you and you feel Death's icy grip upon you. He's like an INTJ with moral character. True story.
Basically, a cold-blooded killer with a cause who can find justification in all the lives he takes.
So as much as I hate INFJs, I don't want to get on their bad side.
It would be regretted. :devil:"
Many of the others are sweet reverse compliments, or at least things I find compliments. We are effective it seems, and that makes us to be feared from those who would abuse themselves or others. Of the ones that seem the most true to me, this covers a lot of my bad traits:
"Sometimes they can disclose too much, thus making people think they're their new BFF- when the INFJ doesn't think so or think what they said was too "personal" to them or considered overly friendly.
Realising that they've said too much once people latch onto them and they suddenly don't like the attention...well don't fucking reach out so easily, then!
Trying to perfect themselves.
Thinking they can be perfect.
Being too critical of themselves, at times, and of others (close to them) who don't match up to their vision of how they should be (especially after they've tried *helping* them to improve themselves, whether asked to or...not).
Getting stuck in their heads Ni-ing their vision and ignoring everyone else-
Getting overly emotional on behalf of other's and thinking of other's issues, but not really doing so for themselves (bottling it up) until they cave in or burst out...and are utterly embarrassed or ashamed that they couldn't control themselves.
Fucking Fe gone overboard b/c they try to do too much or with too many people, cave in due to stress or irritation and then cave away for weeks or months and people have no clue where the hell they went or why because they aren't informed.
Not allowing other people to do things for them out of kindness w/o feeling a bit bad about it or embarrassed (that BS modesty mindset?) and expecting others to allow THEM to do things b/c it's okay if THEY do it. Really. It's okay-"
"*Sassy (but those comments usually stay inside the head because it wouldn't be polite...unless provoked)"
"Damn, I can't find a reason to hate them...
I feel like I'm being manipulated."
I dislike that it is so easy for us to manipulate people... sometimes it seems like others just roll over for us to manipulate them and power corrupts, so I try not to, but really if people did not make it so easy to get them to behave the way I want them to... silly silly humans
"Noting this thread is dominated by INFJ's expressing self-hatred..." seems likely that we hate ourselves more than just about anyone else does. I dislike this one about myself and it is very true:
"And that bloodyminded drive for closure in areas of disagreement can be very wearing. They can't seem to agree to disagree until they have 1) had the last word (and not just any last word - a satisfyingly decisive last word) or 2) phrased your agreement to disagree as an agreement for you to willfully choose to ignore all sense and wallow in wrong-minded, selfish and morally-abhorrent ignorance."
"The INTJ is dedicated to arguing that their position is the "right" one and the INFJ is dedicated to proving that the INTJ's position is not completely right." I tend to do that with anyone... that is argue to prove them not completely right.
"they're not worth getting to know (they actually PRIDE themselves on being difficult to understand!!!)" hmmm... interesting point, I would agree/disagree with it somewhat: we are worth getting to know if for the reason that we are difficult, that makes us a challenge, and thereby interesting and unique.
