INFPs are the nonconforming dreamers and are one of the 16 Myers-Briggs personality types who seek and actually find their twin flame. Like so many twin flame relationships, INFPs often experience the runner/chaser pattern. Let’s take a look at some possible reasons INFPs would be the runner or the chaser in their twin flame journey.
Why INFPs Would RUN from Their Twin Flame…
INFPs Tend to…
1 BE SLOW TO SHARE-
INFPs usually take a while to open up and wholeheartedly let their twin flame in. They might step back and observe from afar until they are sure their twin flame is authentic and doesn’t have opposing core values.
2 DO TRIAL AND ERROR EXPERIMENTATION-
INFPs usually love to explore and examine all their options carefully before making a commitment and going in one direction. That means they may be inclined to keep the relationship up in the air for some time.
3 HAVE A HIGH BAR-
INFPs usually spend hours and hours of (3rd dimensional) dreaming about their ideal relationship and can develop extremely high expectations. So, when life does not go exactly the way INFPs have dreamed it, the disappointment could trigger them to run.
4 JUDGE THEMSELVES-
INFPs usually don’t judge others, but they can have a habit of judging themselves terribly, especially when they think they have done something wrong. This can make anyone apprehensive.
5 FEEL UNWORTHY OR NOT PERFECT ENOUGH-
INFPs are usually perfectionists. When they fall short of their own expectations, they can feel undeserving of such a loving relationship. To relieve the pressure, they might run.
Why INFPs Would CHASE Their Twin Flame…
INFPs Tend to…
1 HAVE AN “ALL OR NOTHING ATTITUDE”-
INFPs can get extremely focused and driven towards what they are passionate about, which might cause them to pursue their twin flame.
2 CRAVE EMOTIONAL INTIMACY-
INFPs usually want to awaken or intensify feelings of passion and connection. The deeper and more frequent the feelings are, the better. They may chase trying to increase the emotional intimacy.
Summing it Up
Of course, whether INFPs run or chase, it doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things. One is not better than the other. What really matters is to understand that there is a reason for everything, even in the runner/chaser pattern.
