Anyone???????

[Grac3]

I feel like i've lost how it feels to be in the now, always worrying, on edge, about future events, or, i should be doing this, doing that, or my life is doomed. My mind races with this thoughts all the time, and like i said, i don't really feel like I'm 'here' in my mind, like I'm disconnected from feeling how i should right now in this world

Like right now, i have a book i wanna read, id love to just get it out now and start reading, but i find it hard to relax and get into it, and it just doesn't feel right, like i should be doing something productive, or that ive forgotten something that needs doing

Anyone else have this?

I have this. But I would have thought that it would have related more to being a type 4 rather than being an INFP. Lately I've been pretty worrisome about school. I've been getting pretty behind with it. And I tend to just get extremely run down by stress anyway. Like a downward spiral. I'll eat less and all. And then I just feel sick and dizzy and my thoughts are a blur and I can't really sort through them. But even when I have nothing to worry about, like when I'm taking a break from school, I just feel this sort of anxiety like I'm supposed to be doing something but I'm not. And it's not in any way that I feel that way because I miss school (I never miss school). I wish I was more like you when it comes to being more focused on my goals that way. But I feel like I can't effectively work toward my goals unless I deal with my emotions first. But even when there's nothing that I have to keep up with, as far as deadlines, I'll just start thinking and worrying about my future and whether or not I'll make it and all of that. I know they say you just have to try and take it one day at a time, but I feel like since I'm usually never mentally in the moment, it's even hard to take it one day at a time. Because I feel like I usually just get lost in my thoughts and end up losing track of the days.

But anyway, I'll stop ranting. It's not like this is a personal venting thread. But I could relate to a lot of what you said. I hope you're feeling at least a little better by now. I noticed you started this thread a little while ago.

Would does this mean?

We extrovert through Ne, but we often hide our Fi values when we do it. For example, we might act all crazy or into the music or into a conversation, but unless we add some sort of sentimentalism, and standing up for our values, we will drain super fast, become depressed, etc..

One would argue this is an issue for all people, but certainly Fi is more of an issue for Fi dominant people.

So the answer to this is simply finding out ones true values and sticking to them? For me, for instance, i value quality in music production

[MyNameIsTooLon]

It's the good old Fi Si loop. It's very hard to break out of it once you're in but I think the best way is find renewed hope and to refocus on your ideals again. Think about what is really important to you, and why you value the music you produce so much, why do you want so badly to succeed. Is it the music in and of itself or is it something deeper?


If it's any consolation, I know what you're going through.

I know EXACTLY what you mean (referring to the initial post, I didn't read the rest of the replies yet), for the last two years I've been so obsessed with making something of myself, so completely obsessed with seeking that right path that my life should embark on and I feel like everything I do throughout the day should have some sort of relation to it. I keep telling myself that once I reach a certain goal then I'll start enjoying the things that I used to, ehh I miss having a life :p

[mimesis]

What can I say? You are all adorable!

This is exactly how i feel, sad thing is, people around me too don't see what i'm trying to do, other than other producers i know.Keep going for your goals i say, fuck what anyone else thinks.As long as your not effecting other with it.I wont give up on my dream, not until one day i wake up and ain't passionate about it anymore, which i carnt see happening as long as i try to enjoy myself
