Can INFJ and INFP Personality Types Ever Truly Be Happy?

In almost a decade of working with INFJ and INFP personality types, the biggest thing I’ve noticed about both INFJs and INFPs is that we tend to be unhappy. Whether it’s because we feel misunderstood by everyone around us, or we feel disconnected from our own true selves, life is not easy for people who are Highly Sensitive and highly intuitive.

This is also one of the most common questions I get from INFJs and INFPs: Can I ever be truly happy? Because we’ve had so much trouble fitting in with our family, friends, and mainstream society in the past, there is a part of us that doubts that we’ll ever be able to find our rhythm with life and move into a place where we feel valued for our natural gifts.

But no matter how much you doubt that you can shift your own personal reality into a place of greater joy and happiness, let me tell you, it IS possible. I’ve worked with hundreds of INFJ and INFP people and I’ve seen how things change after we learn a few core concepts and integrate these practices into our everyday lives.

I talk more about this in the video below:

I’m launching a new video course called AWAKEN in just a couple of days, and the course will be covering the core concepts I mention in the video above, as well as diving deep into strategies that actually help intuitive people step into their power and upgrade their lives.

Update: the AWAKEN Video course is now available! You can find details and purchase it here:

2 Big Ways INFJs and INFPs Give Their Power Away

If you’re a Highly Sensitive intuitive person, you are probably very familiar with that feeling of being invisible, feeling unseen, unheard, and generally disconnected from most people around you.

You’re also probably familiar with feeling like you don’t often get what you want in life, and you may have blamed this on being not competitive enough, not aggressive enough, or not extroverted enough to go after what you really want.

The thing most intuitive introverts miss though, is that it’s not about being aggressive. It’s about the subtle signals we put out to other people (especially when we first meet them) that lead us into giving our power away to others on a constant basis. Most of these signals are unconscious, and we’re totally unaware that we use them as our default mode, so the same patterns keep happening with people. And we keep feeling unseen, unheard, and invisible, again and again, and again.

In the video below, I talk about the 2 big ways that INFJ and INFP people tend to give our power away to others from the very first interaction we have with them:

I’m launching a new video course in just a few days called AWAKEN, and it’s designed specifically for empaths and intuitives who are ready to upgrade their reality and move into a new life of joy, abundance, and deep, nourishing happiness.
