Here’s How Each Personality Type Handles Stagnancy
While some people don’t mind being a little bit still, others become anxious and uneasy. Here is how you handle stagnancy, according to your personality type.
INFJ
INFJs can certainly handle a small amount of stagnancy in their lives, since their inner worlds are always active. When things seem stuck or boring, the INFJ can look inward to keep themselves challenged and entertained. It is hard for them to be fully stagnant, since they will always find a way to push their minds. When the INFJ does remain stagnant in their lives for too long, it can start to weigh them down. They might have a hard time motivating themselves to find an escape from this stagnancy, and will need inspiration to overcome it.
ENFJ
ENFJs definitely do not enjoy stagnancy, and will often try to find an escape from it. They want their lives to constantly be productive, and continuously moving forward. When the ENFJ feels stagnant they will begin searching for ways out of this, and will work hard to overcome it. While some people will remain a bit stuck in their situation, ENFJs do not enjoy standing still. They don’t want to just let things happen to them, and would much rather take direct control of their lives. ENFJs are constantly striving to care for others, and they realize that being stagnant will definitely prevent them from doing this.
INFP
INFPs can become unhappy if their lives become too stagnant, but might have a hard time finding the motivation to escape it. When an INFP becomes stuck in their lives, they can often turn inward and find themselves isolating even more. It can be difficult for them to find the inspiration to crawl out of their stagnant situation. If the INFP has loved ones to help them find a way out of their comfort zone, it can really help them motivate themselves. They need people who will be patient with them, but still find ways to truly inspire and build them up.
ENFP
ENFPs definitely hate stagnancy in their lives, and can become very unhappy with it. If they find themselves stuck in a routine, it can really weigh them down. ENFPs will feel themselves losing sight of what matters, and will have a hard time pulling themselves out of it. When the ENFP is feeling stagnant they need someone close to them to help inspire a way through their unhappiness. They need to be able to try new things, and explore the many possibilities in the world around them. The ENFP certainly needs to be pushed out of this stagnancy, so that they don’t remain stuck for too long.
INTJ
INTJs definitely do not enjoy stagnancy, and always strive to keep growing and moving forward in their lives. INTJs thrive off of knowledge, and need to constantly be challenging their own minds for improvement. If they feel stuck in the same place, it can become a bit exhausting and depressing for the INTJ. They are often good at motivating themselves though, and might become even more frustrated if others attempt to help. The INTJ simply needs to search for something that inspires them, and propels them in the right direction.
ENTJ

They need to be reminded of their success and their ability to overcome challenges, in order to regain their confidence and move forward.
