Tips: How Most INTJs Would Respond To Insults And Criticism

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 

🗒️ Question: As an INTJ personality type, how would you react to insults and criticism? 

📝 Answer: 

1🔹 If the supposedly offensive remark is true, I'd agree with them, confirm they have a point, and acknowledge the fact that they also aren't perfect. 

🗨️ For example, if someone says: "Your room is nasty, I'm not joking." 

My response: "You're right. It's an absolute mess. I'm waiting for the ideal time to start cleaning." or "Yes, I can see that. 

Inn-sha-Allah one of these days I'll try to clean it up." 

If they ask "When?" I could say "As soon as you cleanse your heart from impure characteristics like arrogance and jealousy" or "when Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala decrees that special moment."  

2🔹 If the insult isn't true at all, and it's obvious that the critics are lying about me, I'd feel nothing, indifferent, and unaffected. I'd probably be laughing at them from inside, finding it amusing how they're audacious enough to assume they know me while in actuality they don't. 

🗨️ For example, if someone says: "Liar, you only love your husband for his money." 

My reaction would be: "Whatever. If you insist on misjudging me according to your little fibs, ignorance, and fabricated jokes, so be it. At least my "lies" aren't as abominable as the false claims of a delusional atheist whose ability to analyze logical concepts in Islam was overshadowed by his immeasurable insecurities and gigantic ego." 

3🔹 If the "insult" or disrespectful conduct didn't make any sense, I'd confidently walk away from the toxic individual, stubbornly ignore them, or ask them something like "Are you okay? Are you going through some tough times lately that you desperately need to spread your sadness with others so you're not the only person who's emotionally suffering? Shall I help you search for a spouse on a matrimonial website so you won't be insecure anymore and you can finally stop misbehaving? But then again, who'd want to marry an obnoxious bully whose self-hatred compels them to be gossipy and troublesome?" 

~•~ 

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The strong believer is more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, but there is goodness in both of them. Be eager for what benefits you, seek help from Allah, and do not be frustrated. If something befalls you, then do not say: 'If only I had done something else.' Rather say: 'Allah has decreed what He wills.' Verily, the phrase ‘if only’ opens the way for the work of shaytan."

Poem: How Can You Tell If A Person's Vibes Are Good For You?

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 

💌 Three signs that someone's energy is in line with yours, 

That a person's vibes are good, not toxic, so convos 

With them flow smoothly and connecting doesn't seem forced, 

As though Allah the Almighty destined that you'd both 

Meet on earth, network and help each other reach your goals: 

~•~ 

First sign - when they're around, you're calm. Overall your pulse 

Vibrates in a way that shows your heart is not disturbed. 

When they're nearby, you can relax, while you don't feel worse 

In their presence or absence. They're not the kind to hurt 

You with lies, deceit, gossip, rumors, and unkind words.

~•~ 

Second sign - when talking to them, you can be yourself, 

In a sense that when it's your turn to speak, there's no urge 

To sugarcoat your remarks so you won't get ignored, 

Or to act like someone you're not so they don't get bored. 

Connecting with potential friends doesn't require force. 

~•~

Third sign that Allah decreed you'd vibe with righteous souls - 

Though they thrive or grow faster, you're not jealous at all, 

Because you're in the same team. If they attain a goal 

Or showcase they're better at something, you win also. 

They're just swift rowers if you were rowing the same boat. 

~•~ 

Be careful when choosing your close friends. Stress and remorse 

Are often the results of befriending the wrong souls. 

Don't search for smiles, jokes and laughter. Most acts are rehearsed.

Instead observe your current moods when around some souls. 

Their vibes suit yours if they inspire you and bring comfort.

~•~

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The souls are like conscripted soldiers. They come together upon what they recognize, and they differ upon what they reject."

Poem: The Ways That My Dear Husband Is Like Cozy Garment For Me

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful 

💌 From the ways that my husband is like garment for me, 

How the man whom Allah chose as my soulmate wisely 

Is like outfit I wear which keeps me feeling comfy, 

While I and my fierce loyalty so similarly 

Resemble cloaks which he wears gladly and gratefully: 

~•~

He's like my jacket which I'd put on so eagerly 

When the weather gets cold or when bright times briefly freeze. 

His loving words are like thick socks that warm freezing feet, 

And his hugs are like glow-in-the-dark shirts which brightly 

Light up when darkness falls so glee outshines misery. 

~•~

He's like a favorite hijaab worn so frequently 

Whose color suits my personality perfectly. 

Each time my dear garment gets stained momentarily, 

I'd wash it or wipe the dirt off so it's less dirty, 

Thankful that my dear spouse strives to do the same for me. 

~•~ 

Throughout our travel on earth my spouse is like cozy 

Attire which I always value so that modesty 

For Allah's sake can refine my life's priorities. 

My husband's worth outweighs luxurious accessories, 

And this garment is like a key to Jannah's entry. 

~•~

He's like precious presents sent to kids by sweet aunties 

Who know precisely what their nephews and nieces need. 

I believe he's a gift from Allah the Almighty 

Who sees that my spouse befits my unique goals and needs, 

Just as I'm his garment, beautifying his journey. 

~•~
