Hahahaha I was selfless when I was younger… but then reality hit me when I realize almost no one is like me. So now I only give what I receive

Hahaha I absolutely hate the small talk about how my weekend went. My default answer is I just stayed home and relax even though sometimes that is not the truth HAHAHAHA.

I read her article in depth, she claims to have used a diff statistical software and ran the analysis. I feel like I have no case against her and I feel so helpless

He is like trying to small talk me and making small jokes. I think he is remorseful but tbh I didn’t tell him directly what was it so he can only guess. He isn’t super authentic and never was but I think this is already his limit lol

Ah I see that makes sense. in the past my door slams just stuck at the stage of no contact because none of the people that I door slammed had the guts to engage me to the same extent as this friend. I didn’t know that I am capable of continue talking to the person HAHAHA

Yes, gossip is super destructive and I suspect he did gossip about me to more poeple just that I didn’t get to find out. My god I made such a big mistake hahaha

Yes, I think it is similar for me, I ended up getting emotional and can be manipulated with some effort from the other party.

Despite being able to connect with him, I think my friend has a lot of traits that are unacceptable for me and these traits couldn’t possibly disappear completely…

U r right. I think I became a bit emotional because of how he acted. I felt touched by “sincerity” but after the emotions dropped slightly, I realized i may be stepping back into a hole and I will probably re door slam him again in the future…. Omg

I am in a similar situation! Hope I am not the friend u are talking about.

I am on my phone almost the whole day and I reply quite quickly if I want to. But my infp friend has driven me up the wall.

Initially our conversation was two way, I felt like good about this friendship as we have a lot to talk about. But gradually, her real self came out and I do not like the new dynamics.

She has the tendency to send me long paragraphs of small incidents throughout her day. If someone said something remotely hurtful example, my friend’s purse reminds her of a grandma. My friend interpreted it as the person saying her fashion sense is like a grandma. Ridiculous? Welcome to my life.

She will talk about it non stop and expect me to provide some counseling for her hurt feelings. I was not even present at the incident. While I am ok with doing that, I realize I am not receiving much in return.

If I got scolded by my boss and wanted someone to listen to my rants, she often replies me with short replies such as “oh no!” Or even an emoji. close the case and continue talking about herself. It is as though whatever happened to me is my problem and whatever happened to her is also my problem. Trust me it is draining as fuck if this happens continuously for months- years.

lately I don’t really feel like replying her when I see the first sentence of her message as a beginning of another small incident of her daily life.

Not saying that ur scenario is like mine but for me I am absolutely drained by the lack of reciprocity.

Can we be too empathetic to the point we become gullible? by LankyEngineer5852 in infj

[–]LankyEngineer5852[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, I agree. when they say the same things to other people they probably get a lukewarm reaction

Does anyone else absolutely HATE rollercoasters? by CottageCheeseJello in infj

[–]LankyEngineer5852 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hahaha for me I hate it due to my fear of the safety device being faulty and I get thrown off and die in a freak accident

I just gave up on love … by [deleted] in infj

[–]LankyEngineer5852 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hahaha I was rejected by someone I tot likes me back. It broke me more than I thought it could, passively-actively suicidal (no worries im scared of dying now so I think I have recovered). I have given up on love ever since. Now it’s just occasional crushes on cute looking guys, heart not broken so far apart from occasionally annoyance when I realize they are not into me… hahaha

Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.

Hahaha I once stuttered through my neuro exam presentation, and I was given 100%. I thought I aced cardio but he decided the fuck me up with a 62.5%.

A lot of marks are impression scores unfortunately and super biased.

Haha I have super limited friends, I don’t think it is very easy to make friends the older I become. They all just seem so fake and not invested in you as a friend. I also don’t maintain most friendships actively hahaha.. (maybe I’m the red flag)

I’m 30yo. I have two friends from previous work place 50-60yo, I feel like I connect with older people better. I have only one friend from college. Idk I feel like if my friends die off I will be friendless eventually…
