It seems that INFJ's are even more passive aggressive than INFP's, and INFP's more comfortable with confrontation typically.

Why do you think this is?

[Acey]

I think INFJs are more attuned to what is socially acceptable, where as INFPs have no such filter to prevent us from going completely insane when we are angry.

Do you ever hear "Dude, you need to chill out" a lot? Cause I do.

Probably the difference between Fe/Fi on some level. And maybe Ni-doms are just more accustomed to being misunderstood.

[Logical Ambivert Feeler]

Probably Fi, it is a flame after all

Aux Fe means they cannot subsume themselves entirely into Fe-ness, but are aware of its operation. Therefore, they appear to keep the peace, but whinge passive-aggressively to let everyone know they're just not very happy (but they're not rocking the boat).

INFP 4s are far more likely to allow a Fi-based confrontation, since it separates the wheat from the chaff, "emotionally" speaking.

[JoCZker]

I am not sure this is true. ;)

I think it's the Te explosions INFPs are prone to, especially when stressed

[iinnffpp]

I was just thinking today that INFPs are really not that calm in real life when they're being greatly bothered by something/someone for a long time. I definitely have had numerous confrontations in the past, and currently I am going through one right now because I finally confronted a family member about something. The thing is that we're not being aggressive; typically the true aggressor has been bugging us for a long time until we can't take it anymore and turn the tables on them. But the people on the sidelines don't usually see this and label us as the "aggressive" ones.

Hey, all I can say is that I don't like people messing with me. Nothing teaches people better to stop their BS than to fling it into their face.

Fi and Fe. That is all.

I don't know about anyone else, but for me sometimes I can be emotionally numb for days trying to put aside anger and then I just SNAP and lose all my respect for someone. I don't get angry often. I get definitely get sulky and moody, but not angry. But when I do, it's not pretty internally. Maybe the intensity of the anger is a byproduct of Fi - on the one hand the desire to hold everything in until you explode like a bottle of coke with a mento dropped into it, and on the other a complete disregard for other people's feelings for the split second required to blow up before you crawl into a hole and beat yourself up for the way you treated someone.
