How to Interact

INFJs need authenticity above all — be genuine with them. They can spot fakeness instantly. Give them time to open up and don't rush emotional intimacy. They absorb others' emotions, so be mindful of the energy you bring. Respect their need for solitude to recharge. When they share something personal, treat it as sacred.
