What the INFJ Door Slam Is
The INFJ door slam occurs when an INFJ personality cuts someone out of their life. The INFJ isn’t the only personality type to cut people out. Other personality types do this to some extent, too, but for INFJs, it tends to be more frequent and intense.

In some cases, the INFJ will continue to have contact with the person they’ve door-slammed. This happens when circumstances make it impossible for the INFJ to completely cut someone out, for example, a coworker the INFJ sees every day at work or a family member who attends family events.

In this instance, the INFJ may do an “emotional” door slam. They may politely tolerate the other person’s presence but minimize their interaction with them. They revoke access to their personal thoughts, feelings, and authentic inner world — in other words, they stop being vulnerable around this person in order to protect themselves from further hurt. The other person may not even be aware that the INFJ has slammed the door.

In other cases, the door slam is more dramatic. Take, for example, the break-up of a romantic relationship or a falling out with a good friend. When the INFJ slams the door under these circumstances, they may cut off all contact with the other person, unfollowing them on social media and no longer spending any time with them. It’s said that when you deeply wound an INFJ, they don’t hate you, they nothing you.
