优秀的文章!当我测试on the Myers Briggs almost a decade ago, I came out as an INTJ, so I continued to assume that was my "type"; I really did not think my "F" was as strong as my "T". However, having read more about the INFJ just recently, I feel like someone has been spying on me and reading all my journals. THIS is probably more me than the INTJ!
I often feel like I don't fit in (especially in workplace environments), and that I belong in another galaxy. I do have a nervous system that is particularly sensitive to stress and external stimuli which is why I have experienced prolonged health problems and burnout in the past. I have since learned to "tune in" and take care of myself first and foremost before I can give to others like I want to. I have a very strong sense of what people are about, below the surface, have a strong acuity for counselling/encouraging others, not to mention that others tend to naturally divulge their personal problems to me no matter how well I do or do not know them. My intuition is generally spot on in many situations and I can discern BS from about 5 miles away. Misunderstood?? Let me count the ways.........
Thank you for sharing your insight here; it just may help so many others to walk forward with a deep breath of relief, to realize they are indeed UNDERSTOOD by someone, they are not "weird", and they have valuable and rare (but no less desperately NEEDED) gifts to offer a world that hungers for their insight and awareness. THANK YOU.
