How Easily Each Personality Type Will Feel Embarrassed
Everyone has had moments where they feel utterly embarrassed, and want to hide away from the world. Some people are more easily embarrassed than others though and might find that they feel uncomfortable often. Here is how easily each personality type is most likely to feel embarrassed.
INFJ
INFJs can become embarrassed rather easily, especially when they are younger. Their natural connection to the emotions of others, can put the INFJ on edge sometimes. They can feel themselves becoming flushed, especially if they sense that other people are observing them closely. Their ability to connect with room, can even cause the INFJ to become embarrassed simply because someone else is feeling that way. Being acutely aware of other people’s emotions, is a big reason why INFJs tend to feel embarrassed. They are also perfectionists, which can make them feel ashamed if they haven’t been able to accomplish a task to their standards. They can sometimes struggle to let go of these awkward moments, and might replay them in their minds. INFJs embarrassment can often come from a shameful feeling that they aren’t quite living up to the person they wish they were. As they get older some INFJs develop an ability to remain relaxed, and ride out their embarrassed feelings. They realize that it is simply a part of who they are, and there is nothing wrong with it.
ENFJ
ENFJs are often comfortable in their own skin, and don’t mind being the center of attention. Oftentimes though, ENFJs can become embarrassed if they feel like they aren’t being perceived well. They can read the emotions of a room very well, and can often sense when things aren’t going their way. They will usually try to direct the situation, in hopes of easing the comfort level in the room. ENFJs can become embarrassed if they are put on the spot and do not perform to their own high standards. They want to be able to live up to expectations- but they often put a high amount of pressure on themselves. ENFJs are social creatures, but can become a bit embarrassed if they feel like they are being awkward in front of someone they are romantically interested in.
INFP
INFPs are often embarrassed by their own failings, and can often put a lot of pressure on themselves. They want to be good, and do whatever they can to live up to their own moral standards. If the INFP feels like they have failed to live up to their expectations, they can feel rather ashamed. INFPs are okay with being awkward, and have likely accepted this part of themselves. They will usually not be embarrassed by the things that make most people feel uncomfortable- but will have their own set of standards and occurrences that set them off. They can often feel awkward if they are forced into a situation they do not want to be in- and might get embarrassed if they are put on the spot.
ENFP
ENFPs might become embarrassed after a social event, especially if they think about all of the awkward things they said or did. ENFPs enjoy being around people, and are often extremely charismatic. They might not appear like they are embarrassed by certain things, but are simply good at hiding this. They don’t want people to become uncomfortable or feel bad for them, since this would likely make the situation worse. ENFPs can also become embarrassed by praise, and might feel nervous if someone compliments them too much. They do enjoy this flattery, especially if it feels sincere- the ENFP simply become a bit nervous about it. As they get older ENFPs often come to accept their silly or wacky side, and will be more accepting of these awkward or embarrassing moments. They will ultimately come to realize that people who truly care for them, will stay by their side even when they do something embarrassing.
INTJ
When INTJs are very young they can often become embarrassed much easier than they do as they grow up. During childhood or early adulthood, the INTJ often feels uncomfortable if they are put on the spot. They will become especially embarrassed if they fail to live up to their own standards. If the INTJ doesn’t do well on a test or in any academic situation, they will likely become embarrassed. As they get older though, most INTJs develop an awareness of what it truly means to become embarrassed. They can logically understand that it happens to everyone, and that they should simply move on. It is not the end of the world, they simply need to process that emotion and let it go. The mature INTJ will become comfortable with these awkward situations, and will be more than capable of accepting and learning from them.
ENTJ
ENTJs rarely become embarrassed, even if they do something that should be deemed as embarrassing. They are often comfortable in their own skin, and don’t mind doing things that seem foolish. They are social people and are often at ease with awkward moments. They do have high expectations for themselves though, but will likely become frustrated more than they will become embarrassed. They take most situations as a learning experience, and will likely process their actions for further review. They won’t dwell on something though, and likely find this to be a waste of their time and energy.
INTP
INTPs often react to embarrassment by utilizing self-deprecating humor in order to diffuse the situation. They can become embarrassed if they are forced to be the center of attention, or are in the spotlight for any reason. INTPs prefer to be on the sidelines most of the time, which makes them excellent observers. They are great at paying attention to a situation and will use that information to problem solve for many different things.

Other than that, ENTPs are rather difficult to embarrass and might even end up trying to expose themselves to embarrassing situations.

Their passion for exploration is often what helps the ENTP to avoid feeling truly embarrassed by anything.
