INFJ personality types and INFP personality types both experience romantic obsession. This is common and frequent for many INFJs and INFPs during their lifetime. These types of attractions are categorized as “secret” relationships because either no one knows that the INFJ or INFP has feelings for the person or they don’t know the true extent of those feelings.

These obsessions also happen to INFJs and INFPs who are in committed relationships, and they also remain secret. “Secret” relationships for INFJ and INFP personality types follow same pattern. The INFJ or INFP meets a person of interest and becomes attracted to them, and then begins to idealize them. Once this occurs, a type of romantic obsession is activated within the INFJ personality type or the INFP personality type.

It's common for INFJ personality types and INFP personality types to place all existential needs on the person, which means they may use their relationship or dynamic with the person to delve deeper into their philosophy on the meaning of life, or they may consider the person their “muse,” and become very creatively inspired by them.

Usually, the person will then either reject this role that the INFJ personality type or the INFP personality type has placed them in, or they will disappoint the INFJ or INFP’s expectations of them in this role. The INFJ or INFP is then shattered and heartbroken, and hardly anyone knows this whole cycle just happened because the INFJ or INFP has kept it a secret the entire time it was going on.
