I've heard it mentioned on another forum that disgruntled INFJs are probably the most misanthropic of all the types. What do you think? Is it true? I would've figured that title would go to INTJs, or even INTPs.

INFs in general can down in emotion like no others when their ideals have been crushed, especially with failed love.
INFPs seem to interalize it and self hate
INFJs seem more likely to externalize it and hate the world.
I think it's J/P thing
I never though of that, The double whammy, But now that you mention it.. I have seen it beforeAnd if you're on the borderline between P & J, maybe you experience both - self hatred AND externalize your hate towards the world, unfortunately.
I have to agreeI would wager that NFs, being Idealists by nature, have the highest hopes for other people in general. Having high hopes thwarted can result in extreme emotional reactions. By comparison, the NT types I have known have been much more realistic and resigned to the fact that People Are Broken(tm). You could call them excessively cynical, but not necessarily misanthropic.
Eh? Wouldn't it the opposite...? Wait.INFs in general can down in emotion like no others when their ideals have been crushed, especially with failed love.

I am going on the experience of a former relationship.I have to agree

Ah, maybe the way they change / solve it are the exact opposites of this?
INFPs would try to change the world to change themselves
INFJs would try to change themselves to change the world?
*)the changes I mentioned here are not necessarily complete change, it may be simply growth, or every other kind of change
CMIIW, tho.
Oh god, it's long story and I am not sure I want to go there right now.. I am still smarting and still not sure in my head of where I end and she begins.Correct Me If I'm Wrong.
I don't know, it's because I'm borderline INFJ/P; sometimes I feel both and see both, sometimes one thing, and sometimes another. It's just the observation I get from observing myself.
Hmm, why'd people said that about you two, tho? I'm a little bit curious here..

This is useful. ThanksThe Fi in INFPs internalises emotions, the Fe in INFJs externalises them. However, the Ne in INFPs means that when we wish to enact change we'll focus outwards, whereas the Ni in INFJs means that they'll focus inwards.
So INFPs tend to self-hate and try to change the outside world to create a more harmonious environment for themselves, whereas INFJs tend to direct their hatred outwards and try to change themselves to better fit the existing environment.
