If you prioritize sleeping when the baby sleeps over cleaning, cooking, etc. and your baby isn’t colicky, is it really that hard to get a reasonable amount of sleep?
Years ago I met an INFJ at the gym and we began talking and having hours long conversations about our lives. We’d both had difficult upbringings and bonded over that, plus our conversation just flowed. Eventually we stopped going to the same gym and church and so we didn’t see each other. A few times I’ve sent a text about getting together. About 2 or 3 years ago or so she was really stressed and couldn’t hang out and it was left sort of open-ended. Then it had been awhile, so a few months ago I messaged her to see how she was and if this would be a good time to get together and catch up. She said she was pretty busy with work but would reach out when she had more mental bandwidth. So far I haven’t heard back from her.
I feel concerned for the future. If I get engaged, it seems weird to ask her to be a bridesmaid if she just never reached back out after my last text. I would feel like the effort was one-sided over the course of several years and I would feel hurt by that. I don’t know when I should stop trying and consider the friendship over. Do any INFJs have any advice?
I’m looking for some insight and advice on my situation with my roommate. We are friends and we have supported each other through hard things. It can be a bit hard navigating things now that we’re living together though. She will often talk for long periods of time like a monologue or stream of consciousness if there’s an opportunity, like I’m eating dinner with her and her kid. She will change topics throughout and tell lots of stories so there isn’t really any back and forth or opportunity to interrupt. What’s hard is I get drained and feel like I have to suddenly cut off the conversation. It feels very abrupt because there’s no easy way for me to segue out of the conversation. I’m not sure how to manage these interactions because she is also pretty sensitive. I don’t want to hurt her feelings but I get so exhausted and wind up listening for longer than I even can handle. Do any ISFPs have any advice? Thank you!
