Here’s How Long Each Personality Type Can Handle Isolation
While some people can withstand isolation for a while, others cannot stand it for even a moment. Here is how long each personality type can handle isolation.
INFJ
INFJs are very internal and introverted people, who enjoy spending plenty of time alone. They can often find themselves wrapped up inside of their own inner minds for long periods of time. They can certainly handle isolation, and often relish in the time that they spend by themselves. INFJs can spend a lot of time alone, but during that time they are likely thinking about their loved ones. After a while the INFJ will want to make contact with the people they care for, even if it is just through text. They just want to know that those people are okay, and dislike feeling separated from them for too long. Their love for others is ultimately what causes the INFJ to dislike too much isolation.
ENFJ
ENFJs certainly enjoy being around people, and want to feel close to the ones they love. ENFJs are capable of a little isolation, since they don’t mind having time to think things through and enjoy the space to themselves. While ENFJs can handle a small amount of time to themselves, they do become antsy with too much isolation. Without being able to connect with their loved ones the ENFJ will feel uneasy and even a bit miserable. They need to be able to hear from the ones closest to them, and truly want to be sure they are okay.
INFP
INFPs do enjoy plenty of time to themselves, and can often isolate from others intentionally. INFPs require plenty of alone time in order to recharge, and process what they are thinking and feeling, Without this time to themselves the INFP will become exhausted and overwhelmed.

Eventually the INFP will need to connect with the people they love in order to pull them out of their shell.
