Do You Struggle to Feel Like People Get You, According to Your Personality Type
Sometimes it can be difficult to really feel like people get or understand you, or where you are coming from. For some people this feeling of being understood seems to be even harder to come by. They rarely feel like people just “get” them, often feeling misunderstood and confusing to those around them. Here is how likely you are to struggle with feeling like people get you, based on your personality type.
INFJ
INFJs rarely feel truly understood by others, struggling to really feel like people get them. Some of this is because they keep a lot to themselves, feeling fear to really be vulnerable. The reason INFJs often keep to themselves is because they have experienced rejection and they want to find ways to prevent this from happening again. They want to be able to connect with others and find people who will truly understand them, but this can be a long process. It can take a while before the INFJ trusts someone enough to open up and take the chance.
ENFJ
ENFJs are often friendly and outgoing people, who know how to make connections. While they do know how to make friends and bonds, they can struggle to feel completely understood. ENFJs want to find someone who understands them on a deeper level, since they can actually be afraid to expose these inner vulnerabilities. Sometimes the fact that ENFJs try hard to be perfect for everyone, makes it so that they don’t feel like people truly get them the way they really want them to.

They have hope that they can find someone who will truly get them, even though they can often feel much different than most people around them.

If the INTJ doesn’t feel understood by someone then they don’t often feel like it is worth building this relationship.
