Here’s What Your Bitter Side Is Like, Based on Your Personality Type
Everyone has moments where they feel a bit bitter, but we each respond to those feelings differently. Here is what your bitter side often looks like, based on your personality type.
INFJ
INFJs when they are feeling bitter over something often feel the need to become a bit reclusive. They would rather be on their own and avoid being around people who might frustrate them. INFJs don’t like upsetting others, but when they are in an unpleasant mood they just want to be alone so they don’t accidentally say something that comes across as bitter or hurtful. For the INFJ being bitter means trying to get time to themselves, and if they aren’t allowed this they can often make remarks that are a bit harsh.
ENFJ
ENFJs try not to let their bitter side affect their loved ones, especially when they are simply in a negative mood. When the ENFJ is bitter about something they can be a bit passive aggressive, trying to avoid really letting this out completely. They might try to find someone to vent to, someone who understands them and won’t judge their feelings. ENFJs don’t like being bitter, but there are times when all of their work and compassion can feel unappreciated. This makes them feel bitter, which can cause the ENFJ to lash out without meaning to.
