I've met 3 INFJs in person and a million jillion online.
Either they are extremely common, or I'm just a magnet.
INFJs are good at picking up people's true intentions, I'll give you that.
They do not however, change their personalities in any way. They tend to be accomodating to people's quirks, but they do not change themselves.
Anyway, I've noticed that people who discover Myers Briggs often do so through a search to understand themselves. And frequently, this search is triggered by a perception that there is something abnormal about them. So that's why a lot of Myers Briggs boards tend to have high number of Ns (Ns being in the minority in the general populace, and frequently treated as an albatross by a lot of social circles), and then there are people who have mental issues who are attracted to Myers Briggs (people with mental issues also have trouble fitting in, you see). And of course, Myers Briggs is a big relief to Ns with mental issues. So I see a lot of people with mental issues using a particular type as an explanation of their abnormal mental states i.e., "I'm not schizoid bipolar, I'm just an artistic INFP, lol", or "INFJs are the rarest types, no wonder everyone in school always thought I was a mental case". Some people mistype themselves because they read some crude type-explanation and think "It says here than INTJs tend to be cantankerous assholes. Hey, I'm a cantankerous asshole. I must be an INTJ!"
And thus you get all these people causing general type confusion.
Ps in general tend to display an outwardly flexible attitude but are rarely willing to question the fundamental bases for any of their internal beliefs.
The standard NP response: Listen to and humor people with different ideas all day long but rarely consider actually changing your position!
They always talk about cracking me like a nut and seeing my insides.
These things called 'feelings'

It's disturbing.

You have to see yourself in an objective perspective. In the company of an ISTP, everyone is INFJ
I struggle with objectivity a LOT and a lot of time I think ETPs treat me like I'm dumb and can't learn. Then I put them on my blacklist unfairly, but I would rather weed out people quickly and latch onto the ones that I feel aren't going to pass me off for mistakes I make, like stuttering, putting in wrong words, and being pretty blind to my surroundings. I have found some awesome ENPs.
I mean it. Delete the posts or I will delete you.
i think their energy has a lot to do with their enneagram type. their enneagram type helps articulate their development as an infj, ie 5s are usually the most T and knowledge focused, 4s are the most immediately expressive, and 9s and 1s are floating around somewhere in the ether (out of the 10 or so infjs i've met, i've never met one). 6s are the most fidgety and incredibly anxious (met 2 so far?).
