The INFJ Revolution

Being in a one-sided relationship means we don’t have to be truly vulnerable with anyone, and we don’t run the risk of being laughed at or misunderstood. We can securely play our role of constant listener, the person who always understands and never judges, and we know that the other person will almost always approve of us, as long as we don’t stra
