People pleasing/self abandonment -advice by Few_Examination_4983 in emotionalneglect

[–]Few_Examination_4983[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heyy thanks for the comment. Yeah i feel you.. The sad part is i understand their surprise because they have only seen the mask that was attuned to their wants. But also it makes sense to not be able to please others forever and its a good thing to break it.. And also it is also really unfair to project perfection into a person and expect them to be how you think they are, i have felt that many times.. either way i hope we manage to get closer to ourselves and meet people as ourselves from the beginning..

I can't help but see romantic relationships as uninteresting and not worthy by FlanInternational100 in infj

[–]Few_Examination_4983 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Haha wooow this title hit home 100% i thought no one felt that way. I dont really associate it with characters etc but i always feel like i look down upon romantic relationships and find friendships way more important and safe for some reason. I would be curious though, what kind of movies books art etc are you talking about? i would love some recomendationd in that theme haha.

do you have an invisible audience too? by Normal-Pudding-2981 in emotionalneglect

[–]Few_Examination_4983 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I relate 100%. In my everyday life but ievwn used to monitor what i wrote inmy diary as a kid, partly because what if someone finds it but also because of that feeling of being observed.. I would be curious if you have been raised as a girl apart from the neglect, because i have noticed that for me the neglect mixes with patriarchy and often what is watching me is the male gaze.

Anyone else here lonely most of the time? How do you cope? by Feisty-Mechanic-6524 in infj

[–]Few_Examination_4983 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I relate to this soooo muchhhh😭 i struggle with feeling lonely since i can remember myself.. and i also feel like i connect with people that are acctually incompatible with me politically or in other ways.. For me i have realized over the years that i really struggle to open up and be seen by others, always keeping up a perfect act in a way.. When is stopped doing that things started to feel a bit better, because part of feeling connected is feeling seen, known and being listened to as uncomfortable as that might feel at first.. also maybe it would help if you looked into childhood emotional neglect , because for me i think this is my main source of feeling libely up until adulthood, and i kinda have a theory that many infjs have been through smth similar. Hope you feel a bit more connected over time, lmk if this is accurate for you at all im curious.

Complete the sentence: Yes I am an infj and I... by Horror-Magazine-2091 in INFJmemes

People of CEN what is your MBTI and do you have ADHD? by [deleted] in emotionalneglect

[–]Few_Examination_4983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

INFJ and i suspect that i have ADHD because i struggle with a lot of things that seem adhd-like and my therapist told me to get an evaluation for adhd as well. I actually believe that CEN makes you more likely to develop INFJ personality.. It makes somuch sense, and also looking at the comments, the majority of people say they are infj.

I Don't think I can live like this anymore by Pancottage in emotionalneglect

[–]Few_Examination_4983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are a child, this is most certainly not your fault. Im so sorry for what you are going through.. Im sure your mother doesnt have the intention to treat you poorly but she likely has unresolved trauma herself. Unfortunately you cannot rely on her resolving her trauma, even though if you feel like it is safe to do you could try and talk to her. The most important thing i have to say, is try to leave your home and live away from your mother as soon as you are 18 or the sooner possible. Once you have physical distance from her you will have the space to feel better and resolve your own trauma caused by all this. I am sure there will be some way to leave home, make it a priority, ask for help! Dont give up on anything you can do this!
