INFJ Confessions

It comes up a lot that my mom passed away because it just happened a few months ago but 99% of me died that day too. And I hate myself any time I even mention any level of pain to my nearest and dearest because it doesn't matter, they most likely have stuff too and things that they can change or can fix. I just have to live in this and keep getting stuck in my own head. Yay for INFJ problems :(

I am closed up yet I open up to the right people. Sometimes I wish I opened up to people but I'd rather sit in the background with the cat. I would say Cats are my friends. Is that sad.. I have no human friends?

I often feel out of pace with my surroundings. With decisions concerning only me I tend to make up my mind instantly, no need for advice or opinions. When it comes to relationships it's the total opposit. I feel like others jump into relationships way to quickly, be it romantical or not. To me it's unimaginable to want to spend that much time with someone you just met. It's like they are obsessed and it makes me take several steps back.

Confession: other INFJs look nothing like I expected them to. Everyone looks so normal... I thought everyone would be freaky in some way. Crazed hermits or moody goths. I do not know. I just expected everyone to be as much of a aberration as myself.

Me personally as an infj hold sex so highly. I’m 19 years old and Im still a virgin.. most of my friends lost theirs at 13. I don’t judge and I 100% believe that people can do whatever they want but me personally I view sex different than most. I once heard someone say sex stands for Sacred Energy eXchange and that hit home for me. I don’t plan on saving it for marriage but I want to actually be in love with someone and connect on a deep level. But all the people I meet only want sex...

May I ask what other infjs are doing for a living and if they are happy with it? I think that would be very interesting to see

I go through phases where I’m very talkative and am in touch with reality but other times I’m very isolated and get lost in my own thoughts while shutting everybody else out. Does anybody else feel this way?

Tonight I made the decision to door slam a friend who has been taking me for granted and unwittingly giving me so much heartbreak. I know it’s not entirely their fault, but I also know that my health and wholeness are worth preserving, so I’m really happy and proud of myself for doing this, even though it is scary too. I’m so used to being “the good friend” that I’m nervous about what would happen when I actually start asserting what I want. But I’m going to do it anyway.

My best best friend is my teddy. He's always there to hear my thoughts, always there if I need someone to cuddle, is never blaming me and never stops smiling at me.

I have no idea how to take care of myself but if you need to be taken to a crisis center at 330 in the morning, I'll walk a mile to take you there. Somehow, I haven't made a lot of progress in my own mental health endeavors but I can't stop.

As an INFJ, I feel at peace when I’m alone. Like I crave for a soul who makes me feel as comfortable as I am by myself but just the thought of other pointless people involved depresses me. Being in touch with nature and living in my fantasy world makes me feel at peace. This is probably bad for my mental health...

I self harm. Not to die. I don't want to die. I absorb so many emotions off of other people in a day. Not only does it rid me of my own, it becomes extremely painful. Cutting through my skin relieves that pain. So that I can finally breathe. I cannot break plates. Or shout into a void. Or kick pillows. They're not good enough. They do nothing. I self harm. Because, I can't seem to find another way.

This is a continuation of confession #3225. That person is no longer a part of my life. Thanks to those who encouraged me, I decided to cut ties with him. Unfortunately my instincts were right and things did not end well. I can't go into detail but he turned out to be someone very different than who he presented himself as. And although I had no evidence, my suspicions were spot on. So to all other INFJs, always always always trust your instincts!

Sometimes i really feel a trash because of my parents. They give me so much, but at the same time i feel like they suck all my energies and freedom. I see the most bad behaviors of my character when i'm with them, like everything they do irritates me. It's just that we have so different character, and i don't find almost anything in common, neither ideas or way to think. And i feel bad, like i'm al alien, because they're my parents and i love them, am i the only one?

There are so many thing that i want to do, but at the end of the day i can't accomplish nothing, because my brain keep thinking "ehy, you're not good enough, for anyting, so don't eveny try and stay in your comfort zone" and my body is so tired, without reason. And my soul is so broken. All i wanna do is sleep beacuse i feel so tired of everyting. But i keep going on, 'cause it's an habit
