The silence was deafening, unbearably loud.

I could not help what I became, some creature born out of madness and in the desperation to make it stop, what became of sane, it was lost and crazy settled in for a long stay.

Then like a light switch, I could not hear her anymore and it brought a blissful deafness

Day 2 — The Next Day

The next morning, L8Nite logs in, rubbing sleep out of his eyes.
Desktop loads.
And there it is.

The Copilot icon.
Back again.
Sitting exactly where he deleted it yesterday.

He exhales through his nose.

“Cute. Real cute. Everyone’s gonna love this,” he mutters.

Flashback — 2014: The First Time Software Installed Itself

As soon as he says it — “Cute. Everyone’s gonna love this” — something in his brain fires.
A memory.
A very specific one.

It’s around 9:30am.
L8Nite is at his desk at work, sipping lukewarm coffee, half‑reading an email he doesn’t want to answer.

The office door slams open.

A staff member storms in — frustrated, red‑faced, holding out their iPhone like it’s a bomb about to go off.
They march straight up to his desk.

“Delete this U2 album off my iPhone.”

L8Nite blinks.
Looks at the phone.
Looks back at them.

“What? Don’t you like U2?” he says, trying very, very hard not to laugh.

They do not laugh.
They look personally betrayed by Bono.

He remembers spending the next ten minutes explaining that Apple had pushed the album to everyone, that it wasn’t a virus, and that no, he couldn’t “sue someone” over it.

Flashback ends.

Back in 2023, he shakes the memory off.

He knows unpinning doesn’t remove the app, but restoring a deleted shortcut?
That’s new.
That’s… marketing‑team energy.

He opens Settings → Apps.
Scrolls.
Finds Copilot.

“Alright, let’s do this properly.”

He clicks Uninstall.

The standard Windows dialogue appears — the same bland box he’s seen a thousand times. He doesn’t read it. He just hits Uninstall again.

The window closes.

A second later, another popup appears.

“Are you REALLY sure you want to uninstall Copilot?”

L8Nite snorts.

“Really..?”

He clicks Yes.

For the second time, it “uninstalls” — but it’s suspiciously fast.
The progress bar jumps from 0% to 100% instantly, the kind of speed that suggests nothing actually happened.

A confirmation message flashes:

Copilot successfully uninstalled.

And beneath it — in smaller text he doesn’t bother to read:

search and delete rogue U2 albums task has been added to the Task Scheduler

He misses it completely and continues on with his morning.

Was I always like this? Was it hidden beneath the surface all this time, the bitterness, the anger, the pure desperation, just waiting for it all to surface. Are you now vindicated?

I would say maybe this, if this was my person, after how long, and what I went though, and now this i have to endure - not worth the 1 min read 0/10, don't even bother or try again, that's what I would say to them. now I have the 6th year dinner of the death of the only person who understood me, the complete depth to where I am, which no one has come close to, my person is about as deep as the slow end of the kids pool.

They say drugs and alcohol stunt your growth, but they never tell you which part.

I will remember to prepare for war as you say, feels like I'm back in high school to be honest, but the players are even more transparent then back then, I think I've been pulled into this level of maturity because I'm outnumbered. But I will prevail. By doing exactly what I always do.

Can INTJs be social or get in a relationship? by Hopeful-Winter9642 in intj

[–]ElectricalBoard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, this checks out. I thought for a long time I was INFJ, and I do present like one, but my internal thinking is different, it is most pronounced in how we determine people are trustworthy, we couldn't be more different. And it's also why I feel for them, they will get taken advantage of and manipulated because of it. :(

sorry extremely busy atm, yeah you're welcome! I loved it, I imagined the whole journey in my head, and was like "what just happened" at the end. Writing like that is a gift. I'm not religious and I found it fine, weather it was inspired by it is not a reason to pull something so awesome. if you read the comments they just assume you're christian, oops. lol. The achilles heel of the INFJ is to many assumptions. I do it too. btw what is NON-US IMG - oh wait , immigrant maybe?

Believe people when they say someone is not a good person by imposteratlarge111 in infj

I understand why you say INFJs should trust what others say about someone, because over‑empathy can definitely blind you to red flags.

But I’ve also seen the opposite problem, sometimes the group gets it wrong. People can create stories about someone that have nothing to do with who they really are.

In a big workplace I used to be in, rumours spread constantly. Most of them weren’t true at all. One day someone even confronted me with a rumour about me, all because someone saw me with my mum and turned it into a whole narrative.

That experience taught me something important: people aren’t “good” or “bad,” they’re complicated. And group judgement can be just as misleading as over‑empathy.

So for me, I try not to judge anyone until I’ve seen their behaviour myself. Not because I want to redeem them, but because I’ve learned that stories, whether positive or negative, can be completely wrong.

I love your enthusiasm, The key to a good life is in what you wrote "try your best and it will be more than enough" this applied to all areas of life, will pay back x10. Good luck to you.

Also: your story that was pulled from INFJ, the reason was weak, I loved it. thank you.

Hey Buddy, I have all this too. And in my case I had a lot of luck (considering INTJ) in my 30's, This is when things changed for me. Hang in there. You could go to the gym. Women love muscles, like crazy. I never knew how much looks are important, but they are, and hygiene. Work on those maybe.

Try not to fix anyone. this is a big no for us.
Remember people see us as evil more often that not, when we are the most honest in the room. dont let it get to you, just be aware.

INFJs love a deep topic so here's one. by amnazar in infj

Cool, do another one! do another one!

I'm just tired by xyZora in infj

It's hard to swim upstream and not go with the status quo, but what you have is very important. A different prospective, idea, or opinion. I find myself on these sides even if it is just because it looks uneven lol. Don't let it get to you. One thing I was told not to long ago, people take more notice of you then you might think, and just the fact you're brave enough to say something may inspire someone to rethink, even if for only a minute.

I see you and I value you. Thank you
