Why do INFPs become distant in relationships?
I’ve noticed that when INFPs pull away, it’s rarely without an internal reason.
Usually, something emotional starts bothering them quietly, even if they can’t explain it immediately.
Rather than reacting on the spot, they tend to withdraw and reflect on what they’re feeling first.
They often need space to understand whether they feel hurt, disconnected, misunderstood, or emotionally overwhelmed.
To the other person, this can come across as silence or loss of interest.
But internally, the INFP is usually trying to process their emotions carefully before opening up again.
Has anyone experienced this with an INFP in a relationship?
