i am infj ( according to several tests i took, mostly infj outcome and without knowing what infj is beforehand ) and i think i am definitely hsp. so much that i think it majorly contributed to me getting diabetes 1, a few years ago. i was in so much stress that i slowed my body down, i was caught in my body, like psychologically paralysed ( which i think is an infj thing ? ), i lost muscle mass and became ill without knowing ( diabetes 1 is where when you have no insulin you can eat 10 hamburgers and get skinny ). so my hsp definitely majorly contributed to me becoming ill ( and i am now building muscle mass and producing insulin, diabetes 1 isn´t healable, so i think i was partly misdiagnosed ), hsp has had a big impact on me, thinking back, the sensitivity sometimes to light and air and sounds and textures, feeling like i could pass out at school, wanting to curl up and be in the dark for 8 hours ( or more ) just to soothe the sense, what an incredible stressfactor. i am glad i stumbled upon the description a few years ago, it explained so much, and i could start acting more aware and doing things that would soothe me. physically soothing things, that soothe the psyche. i now take even more in through the body since i was ( mis ) diagnosed, my boundaries aren´t as strong as they were, i have to re-build the protection, i am a bundle of nerves oftentimes but also strangely strong ( the paradox of an infj, i suppose ), i have little energy but feel that energy wants to burst through, i just have to slowly and calmly nurture it, i am making progress * she says with a dizzy head because my bloodsugar is going down *. i find being an infj hard, it is beautiful when things flow and make sense, and one feels things positively flow through one and one flows through time or timelessness, then the harsh realities of everyday life, trying to juggle those things.
and regarding conflict, even if i don´t like it, i create it when i see injustice and want to make people question themselves, bringing facts to the table in a blunt fashion. i have read this is something infj´s do.
but i have to be careful not to go too much into that energy, especially after all the problems that arose after extreme stress. i need a lot of soothing things, i feel things instantly in my body, people´s emotions, behaviours, it is stressful to be such a sponge. dis ease smacking me in the mouth telling me i have to look after myself better, even better. become more selfish. eventhough i really don´t like that. but i suppose it is a selfishness that is important in a health context.
and, ooh, hampshire. my half brother grew up there. i always seem to think these websites are by americans.
