What Does Introverted Intuition Feel Like? 

I was staying in a friend's house one time. He was in the process of moving in and hadn't unpacked yet. The entire house was filled with hefty bags full of his stuff, strewn about everywhere. Everything was leaning on everything else. There was not one thing you could bump into without it falling over-and taking some other stuff with it. Every available surface was covered with a useless jumble of categories. In the midst of this chaos I was meditating in the back bedroom when I heard my friend come in the side door. I heard him put his keys down in a particular spot, and then listened for 20 minutes while he turned the kitchen upside down making his lunch. After he ate, I heard him start to turn the rest of the place upside down looking for his keys, which he had lost track of in the meantime. I could only take so much. I stood up, opened the bedroom door. I walked out and without a word went right to his keys, picked them up, and handed them to him. The look of speechless astonishment on his face was a sight to behold. He hadn't even realized I was in the house.

Do others find it hard to put into words and vocalize the intricacies that encompass your mind but when someone else, elegantly , vocalizes it your like "Exactly!! but why cant I explain these things to family without it all coming out rushed and jumbled and generally not making much sense ??" I'll be using your videos from now on :)

INFJ's have very good pattern recognition. It's unfortunate sometimes, when INFJ's ignore their intuition, because it's usually right in hindsight

Yes!! And because we unconsciously KNOW our friends patterns we know when they deviate from them in tiny ways that indicate something major is going on. Hard to keep secrets from us.

I identify as a Jedi... so I'm sticking with that...

Introverted intuition, to me, feels like my subconscious is some great and powerful, but inscrutable and sometimes painfully slow clockwork machine that constantly processes all the inputs, experiences and simutuli of my day to day life, digests them down to find the common, recognizable patterns, and then just kinda poops insights into my conscious mind, unceremoniously and without warning. It can be quite abrupt, lol. 😂 -an INTJ

You are so great at explaining difficult concepts and staying on topic. No small talk or inconsequential chatter. Yea!😊 Such a refreshing change for my brain. 😊

I have had a strong intuition since I was a young girl - I just "knew" things without even trying. I was shocked when I finally realized that most other people did not have this ability!

i found out yesterday that i was INFJ. when i was young and inexperienced i had "thoughts" about people and their secrets. those thoughts came to my mind while watching or talking with them and seemingly out of the blue.For instant: this person has a secret lover , or this person abuses children....I tossed those thoughts , thinking why i think so bad about people, my thoughts are bad. Turns out my thoughts about people where always right ! Now i am much older and i do generally trust my intuition. i am still fighting in my head with those intuitive thoughts , and over the years i wished i was bolder about speaking it out aloud .to help not only the victims, but also the person doing it. i useally do not confront but look for ways to bring it out into the open if it needs to be. what drains me the most is people trying to manipulate others, every minute,every hour,everyday it is happening to different degrees,and it is soooo draining.

Ohhhh David you are so right being INFJ can be a curse as well as a wonderful gift. In school other kids avoided me and thought of me as a know it all, bossy and pushy. Adults thought I was amusing and often had fun at my expense. Now at 64 I have of course found a sense of peace and a way to let the other stuff go. I am glad I found your videos and am enjoying your to the point information about INFJ. What a complex world we live in and even though as individuals we all need moments of quiet alone time to reflect, we also need each other to grow. Thanks for the time you are putting into these videos I understand and know from experience how difficult it is with all the complexities of being an INFJ to stick with what you are doing. I applaud you. Thanks I will be back

Another story... In my twenties (many moons ago) I was dating someone. The relationship had been going for about a year. At the time I was still naive and hadn’t fully trusted my intuitive abilities yet (at that stage I thought everyone experienced things similar to me). This girl was a few years older than me. She wasn’t a full disclosure type person, but I never really pressured her to open up about her past. I definitely sensed that there were gremlins in the closet though. I woke up one morning after an uncomfortable dream and was in that infj distant mood trying to process my weird dream (and awkward accompanying emotion). My girlfriend kept asking what was wrong. After initially trying to brush it off (it was just a weird dream after all) I told her that I had dreamt that she was previously married which made me feel strange. Well... her face turned pale and she became awkwardly uncomfortable. I asked her what was wrong. After a few moments, she hesitantly said the infamous words “... there is something I have to tell you...” Turns out she was secretly married in court for about a month some years before I met her... she had the marriage annulled after realizing her mistake. She hadn’t told anyone. Not even her somewhat close family knew about this. It was a part of her life she had completely tried to block out for years. You can imagine her staggering amazement (and mine) that I had tapped into that through a dream. This was when I really began understanding my gift (and sometimes curse) of intuition. Since then I started to trust my gut feelings and develop them... which had been there since childhood. Thinking back over this story many times, there is noooo waaaay I could’ve sensed that exact situation cognitively, or subconsciously. She was so secretive about it. I knew there was something about her past, but NEVER contemplated a previous marriage as a possibility. Coincidence?... possible. However, in hindsight after learning to trust this, I truly believe a much deeper 6th sense was at play.

You describe this really well. It makes me feel weird/uncomfortable when people talk about introverted intuition like a sixth sense. You're totally right; not a magic power, but we are picking up on so much data that others aren't attuned to. That said, it is really awesome to have a brain the processes this way! Thanks for the video!

I have a gut feeling that I will be a very popular speaker one day. It is a weird feeling because it scares me as it seems overwhelmingly exhausting, but I feel like I know it’s going to happen. Maybe this is because everyone tells me I am great at speaking when I speak at churches and leadership conferences (though I feel uncomfortable receiving compliments). Also, since I was a kid I have felt like I would have a lot of money growing up and could use it to help people. A company I have cofounded just raised 1.4 million dollars. Neither of these two intuitions could become true as the company could fail or I could not gain any traction with speaking, but it feels like I know deep down they will. I can’t really explain it.

I have never been able to put introverted intuition into words...I am saving this video as reference in case I ever have to try and explain it.

You explained this so well and I most often use the analogy of a puzzle. I find it to be around people that need all the other evidence because it’s not how it works for us. It’s not a conscious activity that we embark on to prove something. when you know you know. Some people really think I put in effort to knowing stuff that took no effort at all, and that I didn’t even know I knew till the moment I knew it lol. it’s exhausting to even attempt to explain . Some people have even gone to the extent of stalking for lack of a better word because they think I’m stalking them I guess or … as if I’m dedicated to finding out whatever it is that I literally would never do because I’ve never had to and that would be weird.

Every time I enter a room with people there already , it’s like I am reading all thier emotions, I. Can’t shut it off happens every time

I’m an INFJ and I have had some pretty strange things happen to me because of my intuition. The one that’s hardest to explain has to be that time when I touched the door handle on my car and I just knew that was going to be the day I got a speeding ticket. Who knows, perhaps it was a “self fulfilling prophecy” or something. But I had never had a speeding ticket before or since lol.

I do that ALL the time!! They are like “How did you know what I was going to ask?!”

It is an uncanny ability. It is a blessing and a curse imo. Can I at least identify as a Jedi? I mean it's 2019, I could identify as a toaster if I wanted to.

I've clamped down on that... Seen enough fear and vulnerability in others eyes...

I tried to describe this intuition to my husband as I'm a walking Bluetooth hub & everyone I come into contact with plugs in, without any conscious effort on my part, & a constant streaming of emotions, energies flood in, it's so odd to know how why what ppl are about. Thank you for bringing us together! 😍

Yeah - I’m Older too and I’ve learned that it’s just pattern recognition. I’m also a movement teacher - was interesting to know you are a martial artist … optimal training for pattern recognition … my clients think I’m a savant the way I can see what’s going on and how I can see what’s going to happen next - but I tell them - I just remember what I’ve seen and it tells me what’s gonna happen next.

Hi David! As someone who recently came to the understanding that I am an INFJ I find your videos very insightful, many things I just nod at because it's right on target with me and I appreciate having this "outside" explanation of how my inner workings actually run. And we do use the Force! Lol

*binge watching all of your vids* 👏

I really like that you explained how we can figure the intuitive connection. I don’t worry about it much but sometimes I chased down those connections too. I also want to comment about picking up on people’s feelings. Occasionally, with people I’m really close to, I’ll call them out and they often deny they’re having those emotions, I don’t know if I’m wrong or they are unaware. And I think you meant ‘nothing ‘mystical’ or course it hardly matters after the fact.

Oh. Thank you for bringing this down to earth.

May the force be with you....

We are like walking radars, personally I am discovering this concept of infj since a couple of days that videos popped up on my RU-vid feed, and wow, I don't know if I am one but I definitely relate to what you just presented! I am always the first or the only one to recognize certain things going on in people and all this gathering of information, the more I grow old the more I feel like I can tell so many things about people but I wouldn't be able to explain because I know it comes from logical cues but is is so fine and tiny addition of so many things that no one would be really interested to know where I am coming from. And listening things about this infj concept makes me realise or let's say, put in perspective so many aspects of my personality that I never consciously could grasp but which definitely in most settings makes me be the odd one, the one who is going to bring up the issues, the one who will speak about what no one bothers to deal with but which definitely is an issue. And one bigg problem I face with this '' intuition '' is that really sometimes you are so aware about someone's issue, that you feel the urge to deliver the message to that person but more often than not, that person is really not a tuned with him or herself and really not ready to listen and will discard and become extremely defensive and I think sometimes people feel violated really. And I start to understand that I should probably sometimes accept more to allow people to come to their truth at their own pace otherwise as right as I may be, I can be way too ahead, and it is a journey of self discovery that I have to respect for people to have. But it is so hard because I feel this urge to share all my science about certain things when people really are not interested or not ready... Brefff...the issue is complex... But that's crazy to discover that some people (you guys) know all this about me now, I never thought that my peculiarity had been already studied and could be scientifically presented to me... It feels weird... All those things I never could name about my own functioning is now externalised that's so... Undescribable... So many things about my personality that I always felt odd about are magically being named, described, rationalise, and all linked haha which I neve r really thought about

I have memory like you too, when it comes to detailed information. Crazy! Some people think I am psychic. I say, it is just intuition. I sensed a waitress in a restaurant was upset about perhaps her husband when I did not know her personally. I found out later, that her husband was very ill. INTUITION

I jokingly say, I'm Anunaki! My daughter would tell you I'm an "earth angel" (not sure what that is) but, it sounds cool!

I'm usually good at picking up on people's bad intentions WAY before other people see it. I've lost friends, then they come back a month later like... I should have listened to you. Lol its interesting!

Introverted intuition is an entertaining experience. To me it’s like my life is the movie Inception while understanding Inception from inception. I literally can not imagine how other people function without this function. Introverted intuition is one reason why I can self-entertain 😅 I’m busy enough with myself and some people don’t have insight into their own insight 😅 .. so I’m like.. what are we even doing in this moment 😂 And yet I am an extroverted introvert who works intimately and effectively with people most days. I love people and I love solitude. Great video. Also, David, I think you are attractive.

My 18 y.o. son asked me if I was a Jedi, but I said , "if I were I couldn't tell you ", and then I laughed!

I have had such a difficult time trying to understand the concept of Ni. However, your explanation makes it joltingly clear. Which is weird because I'm an INFP. It happens infrequently to me, and completely without warning, leaving me in a complete loss of understanding. I't leaves me feeling like I just stepped into the Twilight Zone. I was a critical care nurse when I experienced a bizarre example of this. I walked into an E.R. full of gifted veteran staff members, and was immediately aware that a patient wasn't breathing without examining him. I automatically began resusitative measures, signally to the shocked E.R. staff the gravity of the situation. It felt like what some label a synchronicity. I was no more skilled than any other member of the E.R staff. It just happened. And instantaneously! Thank heaven I'm not an INFJ. My heart couldn't stand too much of that kind of thing. Whenever those moments happened they always involved other people in a person to person contact. I never had any ability to predict future events.

Does anyone else always freak people out when you give them the perfect gift and they're trying to figure out how I knew they wanted it? I just remember things like someone randomly commenting at some point about how they would like whatever item they saw when we were together 5 months ago. I just listen and remember enough odd factoids about someone enough to freak them out.

It feels like you are always in a dream, but wide awake and fully functioning..lol. Symbols, signs and messages you attune closely to pop into your mind and process like a story that unfolds and tell you things that have a great chance of coming true or being true right then. Today, I had to ask my husband-“is this a dream?” He looked at me with an odd look and I gave him a laugh.

My best friend tells me all the time, get out of my head. 😂

WOWWW, SO THIS EXPLAINS EVERYTHING

Spot on

"As an older INFJ..." Okay you're allowed to say this when your beard is grey. :P

This is the BEST explanation I’ve heard that helps me understand how introverted intuition works! Thank you!

There are quite a few people in my family with either ASD or ADHD. I briefly wondered if I could have ADHD, until I actually learned about what ADHD is, and realized that my executive functioning might actually be the opposite of those with ADHD, meaning it works extra well. I did have OCD as a child, that started very early and was very intense(fortunately it’s not that bad anymore), and I think there is probably a connection between being INFJ and having OCD. I’m going to attempt to give my son, who’s 12 and actually has ADHD, the MB test today. He’s excited. My daughter has aspergers and is INTP(we are very compatible), which is fortunate. Actually, I read a few days ago that OCD is kind of the opposite of ADHD, if that makes sense. I’m gonna look into that some more. Damn, I say “actually” too much.

Yeah I've had these types of "premonitions" since I was a kid and they started out very small like just suddenly thinking about something like a toy for example and suddenly a commercial for that toy would pop up on tv and it only got stronger as I grew up. Now I recognize that feeling when I am about to get "premonition" or rather the Ni is working.

I honestly do not know how people navigate the world without intuition. I guess you don't miss what you never had, but still.

As an INFJ. I've found myself to be a theoretical mystic and a practicing skeptc

So agree, loved this! I felt so annoyed about theseother vids and statements that we have some sort of super powers. Does make me laugh when ppl always ask me "where's this" or "What's the song".. we just know 😆 Fab vids dude, love the way u r able to explain it all. My brain is a bit of a mess and not that long since I found out I'm an infj, everything just makes more sense now. Can't wait to listen more 😁👍

My daughter is always telling me that I am a mind reader, but, I don't realize I am doing it. It just KNOW. Great video. Good to know I am not the only one.

Gonna try to get all my responses in one post. 1st though, I need to say that I AM trying really hard not to just binge watch your channel because I DO like to comment a lot, and well, it's better spaced out...for the both of us probably. ... My brain is 80 % song lyrics. I can usually find a song to go with pretty much anything. ... I intuit a lot of things a lot of the time. I second guess myself a lot though because people often tell me I'm being paranoid (if it's a negative thing), I'm flat out wrong, Im imagining things or I'm being a know it all, maybe because they don't see what I do or they don't want it to look like they missed something. It actually causes me stress and/or social anxiety ... I can't tell you how many times I've said something and the person I'm talking to looks at me crazy like, "how did you get there from what I just said?" To which I say, "you have NO idea the enormity of the chain of thoughts that just ran through my head in 2.5 seconds flat" ... I love your videos ... The end😊

Lol yeah. Like today we saw a relative outside with my parents. The aunty asked my mum at some point that she should teach her "that thing um" she did last time... My mum replied hastily with the name of a lullaby she sang to the grand son of the aunty. But the aunty said, "no, that thing with the fish"- as soon as she said that, I blurted out "the Tahitian salad!" which my mum repeated after me and the aunty confirmed with excitement. I still have no idea how I reasonated it, but now I remember that my mum did do a Tahician salad on the occasion of the aunty son's birthday. I truly have NO idea how I came up with that answer hahahah. It's not even like my image of Tahician salad is strongly linked with fish. I know it has it, but I view it more with it's visual appearance and taste than its ingredients. The brain is truly amazing haha.

This facet of me makes me great at customer service. Many times my spider sense kicks in before a customer would be so rude, mean and upset out of nowhere, that another person would take their attack personally. Those are times I look deeply into their eyes, feeling what might be going on, looking past their attack. I would ask them if they were ok. I'd say, "I mean, are you REALLY ok?" Within minutes they would be crying on my shoulder telling me their life story! Sheesh... This happens a lot. My boss thinks it's funny, but my sales volume is thru the roof. People sense that I genuinely care about what they buy, how they spend their hard-earned money, and about them. I can't help it. My INFJ eyes bore into a person's soul and their data flows in on what they want and need. It's weird how the processing of data takes just nanoseconds. Making longtime friends from customers is a bonus. I truly love this gift, and people. Life is never boring!

I believe I’m INTJ, but there’s enough I’ve got in common with INFJ related talking points, like with Introverted Intuition. It’s very enlightening to have something I’ve seen and felt within myself, exemplified somewhere that isn’t just my “headspace”. I’m skeptical of how some of these connections clicked so easily for me, but the judgement of those ideas and feelings probably come from the same place. A very busy intuition, what I usually called a “hyperactive mind”, when people would notice my ways of thinking. What I’d call a double edged blade. Is self awareness a consequence of having a dominant Ni?

I have never been able to put it into words, and when I’ve tried it doesn’t make sense. Thanks for the video.

It almost feels like socratic theory happening live! I love it.

It's kind of frustrating that I'm able to predict the future and noone believes me until it's to late for an easy fixing. Because when they ask me how I know, I don't have an answer - I just know. No magic, I collect trillions of details and put together a trend chart in my head - fast! Frustrating part: It's beneath me to say "I told you so", but man do I want to some times!

Exactly. thank u for putting it into words, bro.

I understand it as we have advanced pattern recognition which helps us to connect the dots and see what's happening. At least in part. ❤

Love this video. Excellent explanation of who I am. Love the guitar in the background, my brother is custom guitar maker, but you suspected that, didn't ya

One time, my friend invited me dinner. She said guess what im making? I said lasagna. And it was good. Thankfully she is very understanding. I share some of your vids with her. Ty

ha I am struggling with that gut with my own therapist right now!

Yes yes yes 100000times yes. I’ve “guessed” that kind of stuff with my wife all the time and then like you said rework why in reverse in my head. I’ve been able to tell my wife that her friends boyfriends were cheating on them out of nowhere and be right. But just because I’m hyper aware of the minute details without realizing it at the moment. Oddly enough. My current job that I’ve fell in LOVE with (and now know why) is an Analyst in two different fields.

Um, I'm definitely Jedi. I wish I could control it though( I guess that means I'm not Jedi). I can guess other people's thoughts with zero input. Like at a party with people I barely knew, we played a game where we had to guess what someone would say as their favorite actress... I have no clue how I knew to this day and it was Rochel Welsh lol. I'm not even old enough to know what she looks like. I had to google it later.

Alright, I've decided that your explanations of all these functions and traits and stuff are amazing, throughout all your videos. I mean... Really. I've never seen somebody put Ni into words as well as you did, and I've been reading up on MBTI for quite some time. Thank you for that.

I love love love the puppets at the end of your videos ☺️😀

I like how you explain

Yeah, I know we are not Jedis..... but the force is strong with us :-)

When I saw the title of this video- first thought- torture. I think this function could be part of the exhaustion( at least for me) after going places with a lot of stimuli. It can take an indiscriminate amount of time processing the input, sometimes it feels like too much data Super power, or force....sometimes I know things Example, (at my current job) I hear what a person is going to order just before they order it I think the " magical force thing" can be similar to the video that was made about infj's not fitting in a box. Maybe our " alleged superpowers function or express differently per each individual. I believe in "The Force. 😉 I was also taking in your background, is that an optimus prime helmet behind you?

I really don't think introverted intuition is something that a naive person would want. INTJ here. Just imagine living inside of your head playing with abstract ideas constantly. It can be difficult to concentrate and stay present to the physical world or doing your job, unless it is a job that utilizes conceiving such abstract ideas daily (computer science, philosophy, psychology, math, science, etc. It's a lonely lifestyle because few people can relate to you, as you always search for patterns which apply to the abstract world within your mind. Where people are thinking about talking about the banality of their external world, an INTJ or INFJ focuses on the meaning of large systems, understanding the meaning of life, religious belief systems, why groups of people behave a certain way... Concepts few people ponder in their daily lives, so it becomes very difficult to form relationships with others because we are not driven by the same stimuli as most.

For me, absorbing information is a constant. I remember weird facts and random data about people and things doesn't everybody? I know for example that Marmite (English toast spread) is a by product of beer , specifically Guinness ale). Why, because I know it, if I knew how I know things like this, there would not be enough room in my head :-) :-), my memory is pretty good. If I can't instantly remember a name for example, I mentally go through the alphabet, or try to recall by association of things and people. Here it gets weird, I obsess about it until I remember (no cheating with Google) I am old, so there is much more to sift through, but I get there ) There is sadly no time limit on this and it may take a while so the middle of the night can happen. I really hope other people can relate to this.

Had that many times before. Ine i remember the most. Was at work went outside 2 go smoke. Sat on sidewalk looking at my car. Bunch of guys walked up. They were about 2 instal wifi. Dude walked up 2 me asked for a sigarette and made some coment about smoketime. Immediately well my skin crawl and realised its because this person is having very strong negative feelings towards me. Even after giving him a sigarette. I could feel my skin crawl and just wanted 2 leave hes presence. He also made a racial comment. But i just ignored it. Then walked 2 my car 2 lock it and put sigarettes away. As i was walking in n just knew that trouble was coming. I did not know what. I just felt it... and boom going out for last smoke break of the day. Find my car scratched. I could only sit down be sad. But then started 2 laugh cos it all was so crazy and i knew trouble was coming coz i could feel it in my gut. Well hahaha. I feel this around certain people. On a daily

Cleary the things you said in this video are happening in my life too. There is a call but I couldn't answer it. When I tried to call back, I suddenly knew what the other person had said to me. The idea just popped up in my head and I knew. Nonetheless, I am not always saying these senses to others because it is not always correct, I often know what the other person says and it happens one on one rather than in a group.

Force wielding INFJ here...Lots of Jedis on the INFJ spectrum. ;-)

I'm starting to feel like it's getting boring to know things before it happens or to know what a person is going to say...like...come on people...surprise me 😬

A mature INFJ you are. We are not ninjas . We can pick things up because we are observing and picking up vibrations and so forth. But I am not superman or Harry Potter or a mind reader. 😂🇮🇪

I don't need caller id on my phones...I always know who's calling most of the time..

My husband does field service and every third week he is on call at night. I will often say to him either, "you aren't going to get any calls tonight," or "I think you're going to get a call tonight." I am right probably 90% of the time. I think I have just seen the patterns of when he is most likely to get called but I can't articulate how I know. I just know and it boggles my husband's mind. Also I am not a jealous type but a number of years ago I told my husband to be careful around a certain female coworker. Over the next couple of years she had affairs with two different male coworkers one of whom ended up leaving his long time wife for this younger woman. Thank you for helping me understand how I just know things. :)

good stuff cant wait to watch the rest of your stuff

Well i'm personally in a very early stage to actually trust my gut and intuition because i'm not always right about it after all, but what i always trust are my dreams. They hold some type of meaning that i figure out later on. Our subconscious is VERY trustworthy tbh.

I have something interesting. I recently started a new job, I felt very comfortable with the couple. I mean, like they were old friends. I have never felt that at ease at a job interview before. Well, weeks later, interacting the him and watching his interaction with others, I feel he has no emotions. Well, ok. My manager said he can get mad. I have not seen it yet. Narcissist? I have had my share, but this, I feel nothing when looking in his eye. It's creepy.

well atleast i understand whats goin on now :) and i thought i could read minds lol peoples actions/intentions started to become as transparent as glass through my eyes.. almost like a predictive insight into their true intentions!!!

I'm not a Jedi (or am I?). We don't tell.

I have 2 "favorite" INFJ's and when the 3 of us get together it becomes hiliarious as each of us finish what the other one is about to say!!!

Lol love your videos! Keep it up!

My husband really likes your videos about INFJs! Lol he’s an ISTJ and anytime I try to explain these things to him, he looks at me like I’m an alien 👾. See what I did there? Ok, not funny....

OK I just stumbled upon your channel and now I'm binge watching all of your videos... So, sorry for all the comments under all the different videos (I need to do my homework anyway now, so wish me luck that I'll be able to stop procrastinating)... But anyways, moving on to what I want to say 😂 This video was quite interesting to me. Because anytime someone "gets it right" (whatever it may be, concerning the workings of my mind or especially Ni) I don't actually realise it immediately. This has made me question whether I really am an Infj several times (at this point I know I am, but it took a lot for me to realise that that's definitely me). But I guess this just has to do with Ni being something that happens subconsciously... When I read on the internet that Infjs are reading something into anything they see or using metaphors a lot or all that kind of stuff, I was always confused because I never thought of myself this way. But as soon as I actually started thinking about it conciusly, it all totally made sense. I'm not going to get into details about all the "facts" about Infjs and how they apply in my case or not, but I wanted to add my experience to the pile of information people are gonna be reading in the comments. Just so everyone can enjoy my wiseness... OK right 😂 So when I watched your video and read some of the comments from other fellow Infjs, a story popped into my head and I just realized now that it was Ni at its finest in that story. My mum and dad got divorced a few years ago. I'm totally fine with it now, but at the time I was obviously devasted since that was all new, I was younger and of course I wanted my parents to stay together. So when they told me that this was their final decision I wasn't very happy about it. Of course I wasn't angry, but I was just sad. When I was at my grandparents I talked to my grandma and told her "if mum or dad have a new partner and they are going to be my stepmom/-dad I am going to hate them". This was mostly based on TV shows and stories where the child and the new stepparent didn't get along with each other, but also on the fact that I loved both of my parents very much and didn't want anyone else to "replace" one of them. But when my mum talked to me afterwards and explained it all again, she asked me what I meant exactly when I talked to my grandma (the must've talked about it) and why I thought that way. I couldn't really explain but I already started to get a feeling something was up. Then she asked me what I'd do if there already was a new partner. I instantly knew there was someone else and I just blurted out "is it *name of partner*" and her face just froze and she asked me how I knew. The thing is that I had only met this person once in my life and it was about a year or so before I had that talk with my mum. He was a college of hers and I met him when she took me to her Christmas-take-your-children-with-you-party at the office. She showed us everything and introduced us (me and my brother) to everyone, so there wasn't even something special about him. But somehow a few years later I just knew it was him. It now seems absolutely crazy to me to think this is what my introverted intuition is capable of doing and you could say it was just a coincidence. But "coincidences" all have an explanation and today I realized what caused this one... Years ago 😅 kind of mind blowing. Oh by the way, don't worry... I got to know him very slowly and they've been married for about three years now and I never hated him. It's just normal the way it is now. I have my dad and my mum and she just happens to be married to another person now, who I get along with quite well 😉

Just because you personally don't believe there is a spiritual reason for the ability to intuit certain knowledge doesn't mean that it isn't a possible truth. I agree the sensationalism can be absurd sometimes to reel people in but I can't relate to your dismissive response to that. You can't deny that intuition is a gift that is rare enough to astound people and also differs in proportion, some people are capable of intuiting beyond the examples you gave at a very young age with little experience.

Ppl try to deny what we have investigated trying to deny and it a fact pretty much

Anyone see WHERE DID YOU GO BERNADETTE? It's an introverts paradise.

How do intuition of an INTJ compares to that of an INFJ? Is there any difference?

🤣🤣🤣🤣 🤘👍thanks!

6:30 when an INFJ have children this feeling can be anguishing. Because you can feel energy coming from other people, even if you are far away from them.

Ok, you do a much better job at describing how it works. When people ask me how I know something that I shouldn't, I usually try and explain that through keen observation, I've seen the 'pattern' or relation between the information(movie, song, action, whatever) and a circumstance enough times to just know what the 'thing' is. For example, just a few minutes ago, I texted a buddy and said, 'Early haircut?'. His reply was a humorous(?) 'Stalker, quit getting all psychic in my private business. lol kidding'. I already knew it wasn't meant humorously. I was compelled to explain that it wasn't stalking and I'm not psychic. I answered, 'Not stalking, not psychic.I know from past conversations you get your hair cut on Tuesday with your cousin who lives very close to me. Since it's Monday, and you're only 1 mile away, I guessed you were getting an early haircut because you're going out of town in a few days for Christmas.' Of course he didn't remember talking about any of that, so to him, yeah, it seemed a little creepy. I didn't even know how I put the information together until I thought about it. So yeah, it's more about sub-consciously connecting information together than some mystical mumbo-jumbo. So in the future, I think I'll just explain it that way; sub-consciously connecting information together that I may or may not be aware I know. Short, sweet, and accurate.

I know this is an older video but I have to wonder. The topic of betrayal and infidelity comes to mind. I am usually spot on with my intuition, problem is after finding out about an affair and working on healing the relationship... How the hell do I tell if I'm actually right or if it's just paranoia/PTSD from the trauma, you know? I feel like betrayal must stick with us longer than a lot of other types since our main way of perceiving the world is now thrown into question. How do you trust yourself at that point? Not really expecting a concrete answer so much as this being something to ponder or converse about.

Hi fellas! Drop mbti and read psychological types by Jung!

Explain this: My daughter told me to come to her work and have lunch with her. I arrived at her work and realized I didn't know what floor her office was on. So I closed my eyes and waved my hand over the elevator buttons and finally mashed one. When I stepped off there was a telephone on a desk. I picked it up and when the operator came on I asked for my daughter. I told her I was in the lobby. She comes out the door and exclaims" What are you doing here? I thought you'd be in the downstairs lobby. How did you find me?" When I tell her how I found her floor she just rolls her eyes which means "weird MOM" in the nicest way possible I guess. Oh and when dressing my kids for school years earlier I would try to direct them to things that came into fashion about two years later. They always talked me out of these things, always the crowd pleaser I'd give in.

Can someone tell me how to deal with people who are not telling you the truth and you know but their significant other sides with him. They both tell you that you read things into it and its all in your head. Then this happens over and over with them. I know I'm right. It bothers me. Please please help. I used to do readings for people no charge but it was exhausting. Girlfriend is genuine but is scared of husband. She and I make plans. She drives to my house and we go to olive garden which is five miles from me. Then I follow her to her house and rides with me to thrift store which is a mile from her. Then he says to her let her drive over here. So she texts me and says I should come get her. I ask him why he says I don't know. She comes to get tools of his because he's working on my kitchen. I ask her what is he working on? She says I don't know. Then I find out the reason he didn't come on that weekend was because he had another side job. I don't care but tell me the truth so I won't think I'm crazy because I get an unrest feeling I know but I don't. So many times she covers him in his lies. Sorry to vent.

We ARE magic and I like you but I don’t like that you are down playing our genius! Yes be humble but also don’t be afraid to be freakin AWESOME!! 💖☺️✨

I'm a 1 with 2 wing on the enneagram. I wonder how many other INFJ's fall within the gut triangle of 8, 9, and 1...

How can i leave my shell once in while,or take my head outa the sand. I tired of being lonely......

But I want to be a Jedi...😞

That explain why INTJ are organized
