Being the “strong one” gets tiring sometimes
I recently got one of those analysis results, and it labeled me as an ENTP "Debater" type. Wherein it says I'm confident, resilient, energetic, adaptable, etc. And honestly, a lot of it sounded true on the surface.
People usually see me as someone who handles pressure well. I can stay calm during chaos, think quickly, joke around, and bounce back fast after setbacks. Even the result basically said I thrive under pressure.
But honestly, always being the "strong" person is exhausting.
People come to you for advice, support, and energy, so you start ignoring your own stress because you think you should be able to handle everything.
I'm realizing that just because you recover fast doesn't mean things don't hurt you.
Lately, I've been trying to stop distracting myself with jokes, work, or staying busy all the time, and actually deal with my emotions properly.
Anyone else relate to this?
