I am virgo INFJ 37 years. I have learned to live alone in a quiet apartment. I can be out and work all day, but I have to have the quiet organized space to recharge and collect myself. I have a 7 foot folding table setup to work on creative projects at home. I constantly rearrange my apartment to maximize its creative space. I rebuild my computer to keep it running fast. I need the computer for its music, games, communication, and journaling. I've learned to adjust the mood in the space with the lighting and music. I do work out my stress at home, and I have a gym membership where I can work out physical stress. At home I cook, paint, dance, a lot of cleaning, build plastic models like airplanes. One thing that made me happy was to work on a creative art project like a card or note that wished someone well while I am at home, and then bring it to them later when I am out.
I liked the INFJ article Are INFJ's highly sensitive people. I feel everything empathically and have learned its not me when I am tuning into other's feelings. After too long socially, in a store, or on the road my heart and brain fatigues. I do take anti-psychotic medication because I have been overwhelmed so many times that I was diagnosed with an mental illness. A low dose of medication is the healthiest way I have found to help cope with the sensitivity. As long as I take time to relax and take care of myself at the apartment I can get along fine.
