5 WEIRD HOBBIES INFJs LOVE 1. The INFJ loves to analyze people 2. We love observing others experiencing their hobbies 3. Emphasizing and reliving memories 4. Minimizing and optimizing processes 5. Rebelling within a social norm
I am 37 and am frequently confused by people and how they work. I find I can easily fit in with any group but never find myself actually accepted anywhere.
My favorite rebel flex is to follow the rules. Most people see bending/breaking the rules as being rebellious, but then nearly everybody does that, so that means following the rules more or less by the letter is actually an act of rebellion. 😆
In my mid-60s years of age now. What a dark and confusing place to be when I was younger, before any acknowledgement (Thanks RU-vid). INFJs are true survivors. You explain this so well. Because the INFJ multi-tasks nonstop in the brain, this is why we are so efficient. Thanks for validating me! You are priceless, Wenzes!
Spent all of my childhood feeling like a weirdo. Most of my adult life as well. Not now. I take comfort in being INFJ. I love being different from the norm.
Couldn't hold back a wry smile when you got to the part about rebelling against the systems we know so much about. That is so true about me, all my life, in every choice I've made.
1. analyze people : absolutely. sport, politician, actors, etc. sometimes I save it for myself, sometimes I shared my analyzed with close friends 2. observing others experiencing their hobbies: it make me feel I have so many hobby. so I have many topic to talk with others 3. Emphasizing and reliving memories. I like to share that memory in social media, make some reviews of some place 4. Minimizing and optimizing processes: yeah. in work, in homework, in hobby, in games 5. Rebelling within a social norm: coz we can make it more optimize, effective and efficien
I never thought of those as "hobbies." For instance, I always thought it was some sort of deep common sense I had to read people, their activities, situations, etc so well. It still amazes me how our minds work sometimes.
My kids don't completely understand why I do certain things, but growing up with me as their mom and homeschool mom, they understand that this is my normal.
I often act silly/nutty to help people feel more comfortable in thier own skin. I guess this is why the kings had jesters. I lead hymn-singalongs and many are hesitant to raise thier voice. I think they are afraid of "being kicked off the island" if they dont sound good enough. These peronality trait lessons help me see ways to help people enjoy themselves. I used to just think they were cowards but now I see they are doing what seems logical to them. Just like bieng akward to break the ice is logical for me. Thanks Wezes
Oh wow, you reviled my secret 😜. I write songs 🎵 my guitar resonates with me more than humans. My music is alternative thought-provoking and, at times, makes the tears fall. I'm too real for the industry and rebel against what others think I should be doing contractually or personally. My life force is non-negotiable.
In my young years, I worked under several music teachers. My first experience of "door slamming" was when one director was rude. I never said anything, but that director lost my respect in sixty seconds. Then I was several years older when the second dictatorial "director" was rude. That time I literally moved away...hundreds of miles, and never looked back. I learned a HUGE lesson from those experiences - NEVER MESS WITH MY SOUL. my fellow INFJ, Yes! KEEP YOUR MUSIC NEAR AND DEAR - THAT LIFE FORCE IS FOR YOU!

This was very insightful. I cannot believe how spot on you were about re-living experiences is much more exciting than the IRL experience. When I forced myself to date to "find your soulmate" I found that the IRL experience wore me out and when I had time to recover, the memory/analysis of my experiences was much more satisfying. Good info!👌
Ive actually been thinking about being on The Grand Jury in my local city. But thats because I wanted to analyze the system and hold people accountable.
I can identify with every “hobby” you mentioned. It’s amazing how you can clarify so many subtleties of being an INFJ, Wenzes. I am so much more happier after I found your channel and signing up for your boot camp. Thanks so much!
I feel like a robot sometimes with my actions and movements even. , optimizing my life. Thix explains why! Also, i know what to do to grow my youtube gaming channel faster but i want to be my authentic self so i rebel inside this "system"
We look here and there and no one knows, like i used to walk to a water front alone and I return glowing these are the simple things that make us joyfilled 💓 💖👏✨
When I hear a song it takes me back to that time, and sometimes I just get lost in my mind but I have pushed myself to create what's in my mind into reality. I also love people watching, studying people without them knowing, but I never stare. I live in the world but I'm not a part of it and when I feel tired I watch pimple popping videos😂
Awh! That's why I love watching reaction videos, live performances, public speaking TEDs & church, watching movies, ruminating past dialogues & interaction, observing in the middle of d crowd, but we hate d spotlight! 😂Love one on one in depth conversation, hahaha!😂 The goal is to get the most of life, with the least amount of effort 😊by learning from successful people, of course! You don't have to learn from mistakes, you can avoid it by doing the right things, even if it's against d crowd, but without coercion 😊
OMG you nailed every one of the things do on an almost daily basis and yes I tend to keep these things to myself. Gave me the giggles listening to your examples also. Spot On!
Filling the gaps, oh yes i learnt it from the movie Tinker bell! And making memories or ideas extra big and heavenly, yes, i sometimes spill it out resulting in pin drop silence from the audience! 😂
Heard the first one and I’m like holy crap because it’s such a specific thing I do! I see it as ‘collecting data points’. I’m just relieved I’m not the only weirdo who does this..
I Think we don't want to be part of a norm that does not have integrity or the transparency on what it is, but does not show it. As one of you guys, I want to be part of something that is acceptable and truthful, no hidden agendas and unnecessary implementations that just seem to be of no likely function or value to it cause. We, I think, are just so obsessed and amazed in a structure and direction that are impactful, respectful, simplified, practical, and with nothing to hide regarding to its purpose, especially if this were not thought about by us yet, and gave us another insightful addition to our set of principle system that we use as points in our line of though. Yes, I can really relate to this video. Love that there are others, sharing the same vibe. =)
1. We like the human Puzzle. We like the challenge of understanding and finding hidden truth. When something peeks our interests we seek to solve the Puzzle and figure that person out. Its a childlike curiosity in a way. We like to play. I am currently fascinated by an actor I don't know...only saw 1 series he was in. But the guy can act out feelings....its not a facial expression he is faking....he does that to..but the fascinating part is his face does nothing...the feeling is in the eyes and than it hits the face. He is methode acting and actually feeling that deeply.....and its fascinating me cause all I can think is "you have a deep well of emotions to tap into....what gave you that well of raw feelings to tap into just below the survive? Whats the pain you experienced you are tapping into right now?". You like to pretend you are acting but I don't think you are acting right now. I like looking beneath the mask and seeing where the acting stops and the person begins. I also like spotting a narc and seeing the real them underneath their mask and think "there! That right there is real...I can seeee youuuu".😂
Yep. Do all these. People at times seem to what me feel miserable with my hobbies and seem to want me to feel not to enjoy spending my time alone, which I actually used to enjoy.
Agree with everything with everything here 100%, though I wouldn’t use the word ‘’hobbies’’ to describe these behaviors. My mother described me this way when I was about 12-years old: ‘’99 people go one way; you go the other.’’ Many of you probably relate. That’s the INFJ in a nutshell. I take perverse delight in expressing political views on say Facebook that go against the norm of most intellectuals. I do it with humor and tact, but I know I’m ruffling feathers, and love it. Hobby-wise, my interests are cerebral: teaching myself Russian and Biblical Hebrew. Reading and studying great works literature. Comparing translations. Reading analyses of books and films. Photographing people (not landscapes). Chess. Dogs.
I became a holistic therapist, Being an INFJ it was my dream job I fell into by accident . All my analytical skills, nurturing without being over bearing and others made me a better very popular therapist . It was where I shined bright . I wasn’t liked for it but hey ho :)
Hey guys. I know this vid is a bit of a poke at the annoying traits of us INFJ types but, it just comes across as being slightly critical/nitpicking on the younger ( and unsure of themselves) infj's, and their place in the world. I am a well rounded, mature, INFJ Sigma empath (the rarest type)and have nothing in common with any of the points you've brought up funnily enough 😜..I am a walking contradiction of exceptions, both sides of my brain are firing at all times, and i have no qualms about speaking my mind on any and all subjects that i have an in-depth knowledge of. My moral compass guides me, and always stand up for justice because its the right thing to do. I am a catalyst for change, a cycle breaker, and due to my life experiences, have always been thought of as an extrovert. I touch on the subjects that most people have no idea how to bring up, whilst connecting on a deep and profound level with people who i can clearly see need help or just another way/view/insight into how to navigate through their tough life/growth issues, and plant seeds along the way. We are all connected and i want everyone to be the best they can be and step into their power. Its such a beautiful thing to see their inner light come on. We read/understand/analyze people without even trying, we love the psychology of what makes us tick/ our motivations and currencies... We also have a deep need for a safe space to recharge after taking on other people's troubles and burdens because we see them in pain and our life's purpose is to help others cope with their past trauma's and give them some skills to forge an epic life without the baggage they felt they had to punish themselves with. My life is full of deep, meaningful, analytical, creative and productive moments every day. Im thriving in my light, but choose to be a lone wolf as i need no validation from anyone and cherish my space. I discern where i lend my energy as not everyone is ready or deserving of it....boring and quiet? This INFJ Sigma empath has never been either lols 😂...but, i do appreciate your trying to figure out or understand our kind as i see you helping others less sure of themselves. Just remember, there are huge differences in the personalities of infjs depending on their age and life experiences. Much love and light ❤
Collecting vintage and antique furniture and collectible things that I combine and decorate my house with..it is a very eclectic look and visitors find it unusual…I also only buy if the price means it is a steal! I memorize prices and only shop for bargains! I have a $2,500 teak Danish Modern desk in perfect condition that I found for $75… Then I mix it with Asian furniture… And Native American artworks… I also move my furniture around a lot as I get bored with the same layout…🤷🏻♀️😘
I enjoy going to thrift shops to find high quality fabric clothes(found silk blazer retail $100 for $20)- items that would cost me much more retail - the thrill of the search ( and find) really makes me smile - I call myself Dora the explorer
I got a bowl at a thrift shop for $5. It is a Goram sterling silver bowl worth $300 I gave it to my daughter who uses it for a water bowl for her dog. She and her husband have no kids and they love that dog.
Hobbies? Never framed it that way,....but I have to agree. So, another INFJ trait? Our hobbies cost zero dollars. Probably very few INFJs with bass boats.
I am the master of systems lol , I can analyse things & people extremely quickly and even put them in some kind of system in my mind. But, I hate with a passion being part of a system.
"Yes I love to analyze people specially a women the way they speak , how she inter act and I observe the body movement if I feel something wrong with them I disconnect that is my behaviour I don't know why!"
thankyou I really enjoyed your video, and I related a lot to what you said. It gave me some solitude to know that what I feel is actually part of my personally trait.
Hmm. I built my career on 1, 2-ish, 4 and 5 (creative, intuitive, problem solving). Enterprise Transformation on a local, and global, scale. 🤔…Just constantly struggled with the negative energy coming off corporate sociopaths.
