well that is a feeling all of us rare types go through, I think!![]()
the question is do you really need anyone to understand you ?![]()
As an INFJ your strength is to be able to understand other people so well. That they don't understand you likewise is the downside. There are people out there who are able to understand you to a satisfying degree though.
Lately, that has been my biggest problem.
My relationship is on the "downest" downside, that I am tired of always being the understanding one.
No matter how I try to make myself understood, with all analogies and examples, in various intonations, with carefully selected words, everything still fails. I still don't feel understood at all...
My worry now is, how can I get over being misunderstood.
I have always been forgiving and understanding, but I guess too much on that side is too painful to handle.
Being a rare type is no big deal. Only a handful of people in real life know I'm an INFJ because I don't broadcast this information
As for understanding, the only people whom I feel have truly understood me are two INFJs and an ENFP. Being of the same/similar type, they have a perceiving function that picks up very quickly when there's something wrong with me, even if I don't talk about it.
Thanks Rouge...I feel all persons in the universe have their role to play in the puzzle and even if we are rare, we should be seeking to assist others, instead of concerning ourselves with who is rare and who isn't. Who really does concern themselves with me being an INFJ each person has their own issues.
How are you today? Any new insights Leo friend?
I just found out I am an INFJ this last year, so I am still in the 'I'm unique' mode - which for me is healing because I have always felt like I didn't belong on this planet. It feels good to feel 'special' for once, instead of like an invisible person with no real important part to play in life. Now that I know what I am I can better focus on how I can use my INFJ gifts to help others better.
In regards to loneliness, I was until I got some wonderful INFP's in my life.
For all you lonely INFJ girls, come forth and let me hold you...
