I definitely do the INFJ door slam, but I call it the "friend purge" and the "ejector seat". I hate having to push the Eject button on someone, but it has to be done sometimes to protect myself.
For non HSP/INFJs, another way to help your sensitive friend is DON'T tell us your sad animal stories! As soon as someone finds out I love animals, they always tell me about something really sad that once happened to an animal they loved. Hey - don't tell me a sad animal story unless there's a way I can help the animal out of the situation! Otherise, all you've done with your sad story is make me feel even worse about the world.
