The Rare Aura Only True INFJs Carry

People react to you before you have said a single word. Some of them open up completely. Some of them decide they do not like you. And almost none of them can tell you why.

You have been handed two explanations for that your whole life. Either you are giving off some kind of energy, or you are imagining the whole thing.

It is neither. There is a third explanation, it has a name, and it has been sitting in attention research for three decades.

MENTIONED IN THIS VIDEO

First impressions formed from a face in roughly one tenth of a second, from the work of Janine Willis and Alexander Todorov at Princeton, 2006.

Thin slices, from the research of Nalini Ambady and Robert Rosenthal: very short samples of behavior producing judgments that hold up over months.

Emotional contagion, described by Elaine Hatfield: the automatic, involuntary matching of expression, posture and tone between people.

Sensory processing sensitivity, the trait studied by Elaine Aron: taking in more of an environment and processing it more deeply than average.

None of this research is about INFJs specifically. It is about attention, first impressions and sensitivity, which is what the experience is actually made of.

TELL ME

What is the word people reach for when they cannot explain you? Intense, intimidating, hard to read, old soul, something else entirely? Put it below.

And if someone once told you months or years later that they were sure you hated them when you met, I want to hear that one.

If this found the right person, send it to the one who has never been able to explain what it is like around you.

Subscribe if you want to keep going deeper into how your mind actually works.

A NOTE

This channel talks about personality patterns, not diagnoses. Nothing here is medical or psychological advice, and no video can tell you who you are. If you are carrying something heavier than being misread, please talk to someone qualified.
