Brief Summary
This video explains how an INTJ (Introversion, Intuition, Thinking, Judging) shows affection. The key signs include proactively solving your problems, helping you achieve your goals, and choosing to spend quality time with you, which they value immensely.
- INTJs show they like you by trying to solve your problems, whether you want them to or not.
- They will help you achieve your goals or even set goals for you if you don't have any.
- INTJs value time, so if they spend it with you, it's a strong sign they like you.
INTJs will try to solve your future problems in advance, driven by a mix of irritation at learned helplessness and genuine care. They are optimistic about what can be achieved but cynical about people not trying to solve their own problems. Be cautious about mentioning recurring issues to an INTJ because they will focus their problem-solving abilities on them. If you don't show willingness to work on yourself, you might fall out of their favor. Taking their suggestions shows you listen to them, which they appreciate because they often have to simplify things for others.
INTJs are goal-oriented and may struggle to understand those who aren't. If you have goals, they will plot on your behalf; if you don't, they might create some for you. They always see room for improvement in everything and everyone.
While many people value quality time, INTJs approach it differently. They are intentional people who resonate with the idea that "work is more fun than fun." If an INTJ chooses to spend time with you, it's a strong indicator they like you. Time is precious, especially for future-focused individuals, making it a non-negotiable resource. Giving their time to someone is a deep form of respect.

0:46 want to help as always with intjs there's a confluence between this very dogged optimism about what can be achieved and a fairly entrenched cynicism about the fact that most people aren't really trying to solve their own problems so be careful about mentioning reoccurring issues in your life to an intj because they'll turn their laser-focused problem-solving abilities towards them and if you show them that you're not really willing to work on yourself or break through the barriers in your life that could quite quickly put you in their bad graces improving systems even if that means rethinking things from first principles is something they relish because it appeals to their strengths if you have an intj that likes you let's say in a romantic sense taking their suggestions and solutions on board is an excellent
1:33 move it lets them know that they are being listened to which is often a luxury for them not least because of their distaste for having to dumb things down or tailor things to a certain audience so if an intj likes you they're going to start for whatever better phrase fixing you that is not to say that they think you are broken the phrase if it ain't broke don't fix it is very off-putting for intjs because everything and everyone can always be improved getting you on the right path in a similar vein intjs tend to operate in a goal-orientated and directional way they sometimes even struggle to understand people who don't if you have goals they'll start plotting on your behalf and if you don't have goals they might just start making some for you quality time now i
2:18 know what you're thinking who doesn't do that well i djs with most people certain types very much see the value in play time activities that are purely for leisure there's no goal there's no aim just to have fun in the moment now it's not that idjs dislike this but it's very rarely going to be at the top of their list the idea of putting energy and thought into an activity that's not going to yield anything feels pointless to an idj they're intentional people people who proceed with intention they resonate with the phrase work is more fun than fun so if you know an intj that is opting to spend time with you there's an extremely strong chance they like you time is obviously a precious thing for everyone
3:04 but for future focused people and types it really is the one resource they can't compromise on it's non-negotiable to willingly give that to someone is in many ways a very deep form of respect so to the intjs watching you've already given me your time so i'll assume you like me but just to confirm feel free to hit the subscribe button also you can visit our website patreon and like many other intjs have done so far you can join us on the weird and wonderful world of the love who discord all of those links are down below
