Various studies assert that INFJs tend to contribute to the welfare of others. In this case, they are caring, reserved, and tend to focus on their values and inspirations (INFJ (Confidant) Personality Type. n.p.). Also, INFJs prefer to work individually towards their goals and are productive when working with similar group members. The character traits described are a true reflection of my feelings, attitude, and behavior concerning other people and situations. I am usually sensitive and caring about others such that I always consider the consequences of my actions or utterances, and how they will affect my relationship with the people around me. Whenever I am unable to figure out the right way of handling a situation, I find it wise to consult to avoid unfavorable outcomes. Although I like the company of others, I rarely speak about myself.

My mind is mostly occupied with “What if” scenes and a fear of the unknown. Mostly, my family and friends think that I am a complicated person.
