Here’s How to Best Encourage Each Personality Type
Even the strongest people have their times where they need some encouragement from their loved ones. Here is how to best encourage each personality type when they are feeling down.
INFJ
INFJs are independent people, but sometimes they need encouragement from their loved ones in order to push forward. When the INFJ is feeling down they will often be a bit self-abusive, and will tear themselves down even further. When the INFJ is feeling this way they simply need support from the people close to them. They need to know that they matter and that their existence has impacted people on a deep and meaningful level. The INFJ simply needs their loved ones to express to them just how much they need them around, and how much good they can do in the world. They can sometimes become caught up in their mistakes and will feel like the darker parts of them are too prominent. The INFJ needs to be shown how much light they bring to the world and to their loved ones lives.
ENFJ
ENFJs are strong people, who are constantly striving to care for everyone in their lives. This can put a lot of pressure on the ENFJ to be perfect and to always hold everyone else up. Even though ENFJs take this upon themselves, it can become a bit overwhelming after a while, especially if they don’t feel like they are being appreciated. When the ENFJ is feeling down and exhausted, they need their loved ones to give them encouragement. The best way to encourage the ENFJ is by showing appreciation and showering them with love. The ENFJ needs to realize that their hard work is valued and that the people close to them realize how much they do.
INFP
INFPs are sensitive souls who truly need to feel connected to the people they love. They have a natural awareness of the pain and injustice in the world and these feelings can overwhelm them sometimes. When the INFP is feeling overwhelmed they need to feel fully supported by their loved ones. When people try to force the INFP to quickly overcome their sadness, it can only make matters worse. They need to feel a free space not to be judged, or have someone try and push the INFP. When their loved ones are simply there for them, it helps the INFP feel like they are safe to be themselves. Once the INFP has been able to wallow for a bit, they need to find a sense of purpose and meaning in their lives.
ENFP
ENFPs are often positive people, with an enthusiastic attitude and a zest for life. When ENFPs feel overwhelmed by their situation they often need a change of pace. They don’t want to feel too much sympathy from their loved ones, and this can sometimes make things worse.

Often trying something new and exploring different possibilities can really help the ENFP break free from their slump.
