I have given thoughts on the opposite side of what I consider my usual or “normal” spectrum personalities or identities. I give them distinct names / titles and sometimes act as if they are talking to me or influence my behaviors and traits. Does anyone else do this or am I just weirder than other INFJs?
I will be a freshman in college in August and as of right now my courses are geared towards an Engineering Physics degree. Does anyone have any tips about studying for such a degree or preparing for it? All advice is appreciated and thanks for your time.
Literally had someone cuss me out and start acting hostile over a pickleball rule at the particular court I was playing at, wasn’t even playing a game. Not gonna go into to too much detail, but long story short: I explained the rules to someone (in a nice and polite manner) who felt they didn’t have to follow them, 🙄 and they immediately started crashing out. They acted like a child the entire night. Mind you, this guy was at least 25-30, and I myself just graduated high school 😑. I sometimes wonder about humanity. And yes, I did double check the rules with an official. Didn’t engage with the dude after that, basically just told him to calm down. I’m generally a very…. very chill and forgiving person and try to leave my conflicts to the Lord, but boy oh boy do I wonder what would have went down had I been in one of my stressed phases. Anyway, just posting this as a way to let the emotions flow out and prevent that event from hampering my easygoing natural self.
I have noticed that I have become slightly more irritable lately because I‘m starting to feel that my close family members don’t see me at all. When I say that, I mean they seem to act as if they understand who I am and what my patterns are, but they really don’t. Anytime I try to talk to them about psychology related traits and behavior, they seem to dismiss it as nonsense or at the very most a ”fun“ little thing to talk about. I feel like they don’t realize how different I am from most people and why I haven’t made a lot of friends. I feel trapped in a way, as anytime I have tried to talk to them about why I feel like I don’t have a lot friends, they act as if it’s something I’ll just grow out of. Maybe I have masked so well that they don’t really see the type of person I am. Any suggestion or stories? Thanks for your time.
If you could choose any talent in Ordeal to have in real life, what would it be and why? I personally think I would choose Kagaya’s mask talent, I just really like the talent and the fact that I would be able to teleport myself and others. Considering the way I can control my emotions as well, I think this talent would be good for me. Might have to choose Anu Ankh or Minamoto Isamu‘s talent too. I know there are talents far stronger than these three, but I just love them so much. Goro’s talent would also be really cool.
So uhhh, since childhood, I have always seems to dislike my friends having other friends that weren’t my friend. I think it stems from me usually only having one close friend and thus being alone if that other friend hung out with their other friends or had a party or gathering with them involved. I’m starting to realize that I would avoid or cancel on hang outs because there were other people there that I didn’t know and would not feel comfortable with or know how to talk to. Even now, I don’t seem to pursue deeper relationships with people because I feel I won’t know how to connect with their friend, so I basically only have one friend (close acquaintance) that I play a sport with. I actually do have an INFJ friend I consider close, but they live in another state, and I’m deeply craving an in person relationship. I have tried making some new friends lately (kinda) and they seem to go nowhere because they already have a friend group they do things with and seem to be satisfied with. I feel as if I have to make a friend with someone else that has no friends just to start something meaningful, and I don’t really know how to acquire this besides praying for it? It’s not like you can look at someone and tell how many friends they have, you can get an idea, but you won’t know for sure. Has anyone else struggled with sharing friends I guess?
I have seen a lot of things online claiming that INFJs often neglect their health, be it mentally or physically, specifically physically though. A lot of articles make it seem like our types often don’t value healthy eating or exercise and body wellness? Do you agree with this? I personally am obsessed with physical wellness and strength. I have gone down rabbit holes (often several hours) researching different methods of exercise and the benefits and affects of certain foods (often vegetables, grains, fruits, fungi). I don’t personally resonate with this stereotype, but do any of you?
I have noticed that lately, I have begun to feel content being by myself, or being more independent. I used to dread working out or practicing sports by myself, but now I actually enjoy it and am satisfied with it. I have noticed that I have been enjoying quiet thinking more as well as lone nature walks / observations. At the same time though, I still feel a longing for a romantic partner, and it bugs me a little. Has anyone ever been at a place like this in their life? Did you do anything to help with it?
Just curious what your MBTI is and if there’s a correlation between certain types and otroversion?
How did you guys improve yourselves and move past a stagnant point in your lives? My identity feels a bit… wishy washy right now, I’m starting to question who I really am, and what I will become. I know I have indescribable potential, but I don’t feel like I’m utilizing it to the fullest, or at least not properly. I’ve started to wonder that if by not being my best self, am I letting others down? There are some things I’m struggling with that I’ve been beating myself up about constantly. Im tired of these struggles hindering my success and making me feel bad about myself at certain times. How did you overcome your struggles? Specifically as INFJ males, did you have to take an unorthodox approach? I want to improve myself so as to be a great asset unto others and benefit this world.
Thank you for your time.
