INFJ Authenticity
INFJs often prefer to be misunderstood rather than pretending to be someone they are not due to their deep commitment to authenticity and personal values. There are several reasons for this:
The day I discovered I am an INFJ, the thousands of weird, mysterious things about myself suddenly started making sense. It was like a pile of jigsaw pieces magically falling into right places to complete a beautiful picture.
The INFJ personality type is extremely rare, making up only around 1-2% of the entire world population.

INFJs are extremely rare. They constitute only about 1-2 % of the total world's population. This is how to spot them:
When I'm guarded, people think I'm a snob.
I always felt like I'm not from this generation. I just live in it. Because the way my mindset differs from the majority, you'd think I come from a different dimension. That's why I keep things to myself, because a lot of people won't understand me.
