people think a lot of things and they are not always true. we ourselves also think a lot of things in respect to our own self and they are not always true.
i don't believe people find it very difficult to be attracted to our personality type, but i do think that it may take longer for the majority of them to understand us. we are severely misunderstood and because we use our auxiliary function to deal with the external world, it is not often that people in general can see our dominant function, or in other words our best side.
this is unfortunate since many cannot or do not even want to make the effort to see further, perhaps because they do not think there is anything more to see or do not wait long enough for it to appear. it is also unfortunate when we ourselves may feel it is a lost cause and do not try to help others outside understand us. all too often we do not give people a chance.
i have personally never met another INFJ in my life, or maybe i have but haven't realized. i have experienced implicit rejection all my life and early on tried to fit with external standards, only to feel more abandoned in a place i tried to be yet did not truly belong. this is the type of abandonment i experienced and experience still from time to time: an abandonment of my own integrity.
i find that we may be described as rare, but that just does not force us to diverge from our interests and behaviours that come so naturally to us in order to fit in. ultimately, we will be more satisfied in our the niche we are comfortable in. our rarity of course does not make us special in any way, but like any other type, needing of understanding and acceptance from the others.
