Social media causes more anxiety in my life than I like to admit.

Sometimes when I'm feeling really down from the barrage of work, relationships, responsibilities, etc. I take a step back and look at my life like I'm in the audience of a sitcom about my life. And usually I'll break out laughing. Not at myself, but at the situations. When you look at some of the absurd things that pile onto your life to stress you out, you can't help but laugh. From an outside perspective, some things seem almost scripted for humor. Maybe it's a strange way to cope, but it really puts my stressors into perspective and lightens my life a bit.

I've noticed that when I'm drunk my entire catalog of thoughts is released into the real world. 99% of the stuff I say is really dumb, but said with the same confidence of my inner voice, such as, "Aren't all snapchat stories ghost stories since their icon is a ghost?" You know, real intellectually stimulating stuff. And I won't shut up; thought pops in, words come out. It feels like telepathy without the perks, which I'm pretty sure is the greatest fear of most private INFPs. And yet I still can't seem to go to a party where a friend or family member isn't trying to get me drunk.

Feeling an unexplained sense of pride when a friend says "You always see the best in people" ...until you realize they're saying it in a negative way in regards to the romances you chase.

Trying to turn your music louder to drown out your thoughts and realizing that it's already at max volume.

Getting into running can be great way for INFPs to get exercise. I can't tell you how much better I have gotten at coming up with excuses NOT to run because it's horrible. It's exercise for your imagination!

I had a dream a few nights ago where I basically watched myself go through my daily routine and laze around my apartment until I fell asleep. I have never felt so bored in my life and I've endured countless hours of accounting classes sooooo that's saying a lot... I need new outlets/hobbies/friends.

Aww thank you! Compliments definitely make my days a whole lot better! :)

Anything can become an ethical dilemma if you Fi hard enough.
