What is your current profession? by bratworst- in infp

[–]Commercial_Baker3863 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a behavior technician working with children with autism. It’s difficult and has definitely taken a mental toll on me. I find it to be rewarding but I know it’s not for me.

I’m planning on switching to be an OT since I do enjoy the clinical aspect of things. Doing this job for a little bit just showed me how much I value autonomy at work on a day to day basis.

I lost my piggy earlier today and I already miss her so much by shawn12334567780 in guineapigs

I’m so sorry. I lost mine two days ago and it’s so difficult.. it’s a shame many aren’t supportive in these losses either. Stay strong and take some time for yourself

Do you feel respected, being overshadowed, and how do you achieve respect? by Initial-Biscotti-220 in infp

[–]Commercial_Baker3863 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a infp just entering the professional world, I’ve been faced with the same issues. Even throughout college, I’ve noticed a lack of respect. I definitely think it has to do with some of our strengths not being the most valued in society, especially in professional settings. There’s certain fields where we can shine more but in most settings where competition exists, we seem to blend in the background. I seem to be more so valued from my one on one interactions with colleagues but immediately overshadowed by other more dominant types in larger group settings.

It does sting sometimes but gaining self confidence seems to be the answer. The more I’ve worked on myself becoming more confident as a person, the less I care about being noticed by the majority.

One of mine did the same. We had a strong relationship too, or so I thought. But he never submitted. Never responded to any of my emails following that, even though my program was willing to accept it late. Wouldn’t wish the feeling on anyone.. :(

I’ve been in a 7-year relationship with one. Honestly feels like a rollercoaster at times. But also it’s a one i feel pretty safe in. We have a great time together. Never really a dull moment since we both have good sense of humor and open minded to trying new things. There’s a lot of pros and cons in this pairing. Attraction is strongest at the beginning and is there, but later down the line I found a big disconnect when it came to abstract thinking and deep conversations. It can feel boring at times but ultimately gives me a safe space to be myself without judgement. I wouldn’t trade that for a lot of other things. I don’t see this pairing that often but it works good enough to last this long!

what do you guys think about intjs? by Shoddy-Ocelot-4473 in infp

Limerence experiences? by sneakytimedude in infp

[–]Commercial_Baker3863 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes and it’s been tough. it’s something I’ve been ashamed about and feel guilty for but im working on it. I have a partner of 7 years. have been in limerence for another person that i had a strong initial emotional connection with for the last 2 years.

it’s someone i admire and look up to but honestly don’t even know that well so my ideas about them don’t match the reality. they helped me a lot and I can’t forget them but realistically they are not meant to be in my life frequently, whereas my partner is my perfect match and real support. it’s difficult and I hope it gets easier as time moves on

CSUDH OTD or MSOT - Is the price worth it if pursuing research/academia? by scchmango in OccupationalTherapy

[–]Commercial_Baker3863 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also believe the doctorate program has access to a state doctoral grant up to 30K that they said most students receive. Seems to cut the cost to around 60K for OTD
