🗒️ Question: Without sugarcoating, describe how you generally behave, as an INTJ personality type, around individuals whom you despise for Allah's sake or whom you don't trust?
📝 Answer: Alhamdulillah, since I'm aware of how true and timely Allah's Justice is, I avoid being unjust and oppressive towards His servants as much as possible. My disinterest in connecting with certain people on a deeper level though doesn't mean I'll readily gossip about them or act like an obnoxious bully whenever they're around. If there's a particular individual whom I am not eager to befriend because once upon a time they did something very unacceptable or they proved to be awfully unreliable too many times, I would...
1] Stay away from them, for Allah's sake, as much as I can both online and offline. I won't bother checking their social media accounts, including their channel on YouTube if I know they manage one, and if ever I stumble upon several comments which they've posted on any website or group chat, I would instantly and unapologetically skip through them, uninterested in evaluating the entire text.
2] Refrain from enunciating their name as much as I can, so gossiping about them is something I'd try my best to avoid, not because I believe that they're actually decent human beings but to preserve my moral values and integrity. My willingness to be morally upright and ethical causes me to be easily turned off whenever someone directly or indirectly shows me that they are absolutely untrustworthy - for instance, they are a co-worker who is incompetent and absent regularly.
3] Feel reluctant to invite them to accompany me on a shopping trip or any journey outdoors. I'd rather stay in or cancel attending a gathering than unwillingly inform them they can tag along. You can't be your usual self when a suspicious person is nearby.
4] Actively resist the urge to inquire about their interests, current life circumstances and personal background, particularly if I've already concluded that they can't be trusted at all. Although I perceive them as undependable, I strive to maintain polite manners with them as much as possible.
5] Refuse asking for their advice or feedback on anything, since I've had enough of their lousy lies, fakery, self-entitlement, selfishness, unreliability, bad influence and wrong choices.

The emigrant (muhaajir) is one who emigrates away from evil. By the One (Allah the Almighty) in Whose Hand is my soul, a servant will not enter Paradise if his neighbor is not secure from his harm."
