Reacting to compliments 😊😶😳🙈

They will usually feel extremely awkward when someone compliments them in person, and might be too shy to react well. INFJs enjoy knowing that their loved ones think highly of them, but might not handle the praise very well in person. Over text or through writing INFJs will often be better at receiving these compliments. They still might argue against them, and attempt to ensure that person that they aren’t as great as they think. INFJs are very hard on themselves, and sometimes do not believe the praise they are receiving.

They enjoy knowing that people think highly of them and love feeling appreciated, but often struggle with knowing how to react. INFPs prefer compliments that are sincere and well thought out, and don’t want people to just say things that they do not mean. If the compliment comes from someone that the INFP trusts and values, they will definitely appreciate the kind words. The compliments might make the INFP feel awkward, simply because it is drawing a lot of attention to them.

INTJ

INTJs sometimes feel like compliments are forced, which makes them feel uncomfortable. They feel like they will have to react a certain way when someone compliments them, which can sometimes feel insincere to the INTJ. They dislike being forced to feel a certain way about something, making compliments confusing for them. They are often very critical of themselves, which can make praise almost an annoyance to them. Being told they are doing good at something, makes the INTJ feel like people are being insincere- since they always believe they could be improving. That doesn’t mean they don’t enjoy a well thought out and sincere compliment about the things that they value most, they just might not react very well to this praise at first.

It is nice to know that people are taking notice to their efforts, since ENTJs value being efficient and hard-working.
