They will often be told they’re "too sensitive" or "too emotional"
INFJs are known for their deep emotional sensitivity and their ability to feel the
emotions of others as if were their own. This can be both a blessing and a curse,
as INFJs often find themselves feeling overwhelmed by the intensity of the world around them.
Heyoka INFJs are especially prone to this, as their capacity for empathy is even greater than
that of other INFJs. Heyoka INFJs often see the world in terms of emotional extremes,
and this can lead them to be seen as too sensitive or emotional by others.
While this can be a source of friction in their interpersonal relationships,
it also allows Heyoka INFJs to deeply connect with others on a level that is rarely found elsewhere.
They will tend to always put others before themselves
It is said Heyoka INFJs are able to see both the light and the dark, the good and the bad - deeply
intuitive and empathetic. They will most likely be the most compassionate person you will ever meet.
With an innate understanding of other people's feelings and needs, they have unmatched ability
to see beyond the surface of people masks, to see what is really going on with them.
They are extremely loyal friends, often go out of their way to help in any way they can.

A Heyoka deepest desire will often be to never let a loved one down.
They will often be told to "lighten up" or "cheer up"
Heyokas INFJs are known for their contrarian nature - they often act in a way that is the
opposite of what is expected. They don’t much conforms to the norms of society,
or obey the customs of fake pretenses, that has become second nature for most of us.
This can unfortunately lead to them being seen as too intense and serious in epithet.
Heyoka INFJs tend to have a reversed emotional polarity
from the norm. They can often appear detached,
even cold, when they’re really just trying to maintain their own emotional equilibrium.
Most Heyoka’s tend to also be drawn to solitary pursuits, and can often be found lost in their
own thoughts for hours on end. But they’re not really detaching for the sake of detaching,
rather they’re trying to find a deeper connection to the world around them.
Most Heyokas are incredibly compassionate people,
but their intensity can nevertheless be overwhelming for others - who will
often annoyingly tell them to ‘cheer up” to dissuade their own discomfort.
They are highly intuitive and can read people like an open book
A Heyoka INFJ will always seem to draws people in. Maybe it's the way they can effortlessly
read people and understand their needs and wants. Or maybe it's their natural ability
to make everyone feel comfortable and accepted. Whatever the reason,
Heyoka INFJs have a special gift for forming deep connections with others.
For them, relationships will be extremely important. They long for close, meaningful bonds
with the people in their lives, and they’ll always be looking for ways to deepen their connections.
Heyoka INFJs are incredibly intuitive, and they can usually tell when someone is going
through a tough time, even when they’re trying to hide it. This compassionate nature is one
of the things that makes them such great people to know. They are always there for
the people they care about, offering a shoulder to cry on or a listening ear.
A Heyoka INFJ will truly cherish the relationships
they have and will do whatever they can to make them last.
They are often told that they’re "too idealistic" or "too dreamy"
INFJs have a natural tendency to see the impossible and this has
earnt them a reputation of being ‘too idealistic’. This nature to
limitlessly dream is even more of a prevailing trait among Heyoka INFJs.
A Heyoka will often be drawn to causes that others might consider hopeless. They have a
strong sense of justice and want to see the world become a better place.
Many will tend to be drawn to careers in social work or activism for this reason.

creativity to make a seismic difference for the better, in their corner of the world.
They tend to be drawn to helping broken people in particular
Heyoka INFJs are gifted in breaking social norms and challenging others to
think outside the box. They often adopt this role in their lives,
using humor and creativity to help others see different perspectives. This maybe why
many often find themselves drawn to those who have experienced trauma or may be hurting in some way.
Heyokas tend to be well placed to be able to empathize with those who have been through
difficult experiences and can offer a unique perspective on healing. Many have often gone
through traumatic experiences themselves. That could also be a another reason they
are attracted to people who have faced challenges in their lives.
Regardless of the reason though, it can be both a good and a bad thing. On the one hand,
Heyokas can provide much-needed support and understanding, and on the other, they can
sometimes get too involved in other people's problems and end up getting hurt themselves.
However most Heyokas end up being true lights to those experiencing suffering. With their
creativity to help others see the beauty in the world, even in the midst of pain,
trauma is not something to be avoided for Heyokas, but something to be faced head-on,
and it is through this courage that they are able to help others heal and grow.
They tend to have a strong connection to nature and animals

appreciation for the natural world. Many can also have a particularly profound connection
to nature and animals. In fact, it's one of the things that Heyokas are most known for,
and there are a few theories as to why this is.
Some say that they have a strong connection to nature because they
are highly attuned to the feelings and emotions of others and this allows them
to see the world in a unique way that is able to connect with all forms of life.
Heyokas have been known to sense the feelings of animals, and to feel a strong kinship with them.
They’re often highly elevated empathy levels means they are able to feel the pain of all
living things on a visceral level, and they want fairness and equality for all of mankind. This
compassion extends to animals and the environment, who often suffer at the hands of humans.
A heyoka INFJs will see the suffering of animals and feel it as if it were their own,
and they’re incredibly unique in this way, in their deep need to do whatever
they can to help make the world a better place, for all creatures big and small.
