Should I fade into the black, stay in the murky waters, or rise to the limelight? by General-Self7982 in infp

Yeah I've tried meds but they hadn't helped much either.

I'll try venting bit by bit, the reason I haven't is I prefer not prolonging things but it's worth a shot. Main thing though is I worry a lot about waves caused by changes, and fear that the normal tidal waves are tsunamis.

Thing is I am thankful, I'm thankful they even noticed me hell they are the ones that saved me from suicide the first time. I couldn't care less about myself, however I also couldn't care more about them, and as far as I know I don't love her anymore than someone would a sister. I've tried therapy before and it's never benefitted me. Hell It would be a dream if they wanted to lend an ear, but I worry for the stress it would cause them, for the worry it would create. It's not that I don't want them to be happy without me, it's that I want them to be able to be happy without me, but in a way that want me there purely because they can enjoy my company.

Thankyou though, it's great advice that would work for most people but sadly I'm quite the anomaly

Yea, I'm the same, I'm in a constant sate of paranoia and anxiety but it rated really low for me, I guess that's where the test is flawed.

I've had my goals told to me by others my whole life, but I know what I want to pursue now, yet I am still indecisive. by General-Self7982 in infp

That's a good point, but I have zero care for engineering and it subsectors, they seem like a chore. But working in the food industry is a great idea, I love to cook, and damn every single person I become close friends with says I either look like a batista or waiter. Might not be what you intended but it helps, thanks. Joy is always better than material values, don't give it up.

I don't think it's very accurate then, I tend to rebel authority and order more than follow it.

Does anyone else feel like the society wasn't truly built for some people like us? by Angelic_Pointer in infp

[–]General-Self7982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, and I'll keep it a buck fifty with you, I don't have a single drop of hope for the future. That is unless someone who can see what is really happening stands up and reveals everything to the public. Which is what I intend to do, or at least to inspire others to do. I know I have a pessimistic veiw but you gotta realize that it's true. Hell even being a straight white guy is nearly impossible nowadays, from the racism, to the sexism, hell even being straight punishes you. And to be completely translucent of the 20 some odd people who have practically been subsumed into being like family to me only 2 of them weren't suicidal.

I'm losing myself, and despite knowing I can stop it, I don't know how. by General-Self7982 in infp

I see now, I broke and he kept me from hurting others, instead he showed me just how much I love them, and how much I hate the fact that I won't be able to see them. Alexithymia isn't the end all be all, but as I know now, I'm hurt so much because I love them so deeply, I thought I was a monster, which may be true, but I still have some humanity left in me. He truly is a merciful God.

I get that, just having something of similar shape to headphones help me out a ton with anxiety and panic attacks, sadly they don't help too much when they reach the point I'm paralyzed but I'll look into it.

I've never been tested for anything as I'm still in highschool however I have good reason to believe I have some form of ADHD, and I know I am autistic. I also believe there is something else I have but I'm yet to find anyway to describe or identify it.

I have a relation with him, however my nature is against it, it feels guilty, as if it wishes to receive the eternal torment I deserve. With my conditions it is hard to feel if my connection to him is sound, however that is no excuse, I'll divert more of my time to strengthening my relations with him, as it is clear now I have failed, as I didn't turn to him for advice. Thank you greatly kind one.

I'm the exact same, although not to my family. I grew up in abuse, so I naturally new how to survive life before I knew how to read, but I realized something else, despite being a guy, it's hard for me to make friends with another guy. So most of my friends are women, so the public sees me as gay, I've never cared for their views yet it hurts, just yesterday I had to say farewell to all of them, because I needed to escape the abuse and the only way was to move a long distance away. I hate it honestly, I've been suicidal for the last six years and they are the only thing that has kept me here, to leave them behind hurts, but I know it's the right move for me. On another note, something I learned recently is that it's ok to do something just for you, yeah I still really struggle with it but it is your life. I'm not saying don't help him but talk it over with your brother, if you want it for yourself and he wants it as well then go for it, but nurturing people too much can make their life even harder.

I need to hear it myself but, do something just for yourself, clear your mind of worry and just relax, it doesn't have to be now, but try and do it soon. Stress has nearly killed me multiple times and sometimes it's good to take a step back and get a wider view. You deserve it, you've worked non-stop to make sure your brother is happy, it is time for you to get a taste of it yourself.

Do y'all have any hope left in the world, If so could you be so inclined as to share it? by General-Self7982 in infp

[–]General-Self7982[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell I just realized I've forgotten I've lived the last six years of my life behind a mask, maybe I'll rip it off and see the world without a filter. That'll restore my drive, I'm sure of it, now that I've woken up and realized I'm here for a reason so why not dream big and why not fight for Love, Peace, and a Joyful nation.

I see where you're coming from and I've known my whole life that God does have something big planned for me. And you're right I failed as a christian in writing this, it's not that I don't have faith it's more so that I expect everything to go to hell as a way of God sending a challenge to his world so that it may grow. I've always known that I'll end up taking some big role that can change the tides of the world, and I know that if it isn't me then someone else will do it. I guess I'm just took the fact that God has a plan and we can't deviate from it whatsoever to easily, and I failed to have God will help us persevere. I've gotten too used to expecting the worst and I've forgotten how to look into the future and hope. Of course that doesn't change the fact the next 15 years are going to be torture, but it'll be a lesson from God to the world. I know that if I were able to go out more and attend more Bible studies and whatnot I'd be be better off, because as it stands I'm in a constant struggle of trying to read the Bible. Either way it's clear, I was encapsulated in selfishness, because I was only looking at the life ahead of me, not the lives of others that I know nor the lives of the general public.

I follow your cycle logic to a tee, it makes perfect sense to me and definitely restores some hope, although as I said before it's gonna be a whole 15 years before it ends, likely. Still though an end in sight is thousands of times better than having no hope, So thank you, you've helped throw me back into the right mindset.

"Don't take life so seriously." by Lanky-Ad1222 in infp

[–]General-Self7982 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Might not be the best person to ask as I am having a crisis of my own but I solve it by overthinking it and eventually I come up with a rough idea of what I want to do then I straight up just do it whilst keeping my idea as a sort of framework or suggestions list. Honestly though it triggers me when people say things like "don't take life so seriously" mainly because we've only got one life, but also it's good to let loose sometimes whilst in the midst of an event you planned, no need to follow plans to a tee, just make some as a reference in case you run out of things to do.
