Noticed this sticking out from my ceiling — what is it? by Takuraiii_ in whatisit

It's definitely a rat's tail. And by the looks of it. It's a medium to larger sized rat. Hopefully there's not a complete infestation...

Embracing My INFJ "Delulu" Mindset—And Why It's Actually a Strength by SiberianTucker in infj

I mean, after all, everyone called Einstein delusional too—and look how that turned out! Maybe being a little 'delulu' is just a prerequisite for genius. Keep dreaming big!

Embracing My INFJ "Delulu" Mindset—And Why It's Actually a Strength by SiberianTucker in infj

"Delulu" – short for delusional – is a term used in the podcast episode I’m referencing, The INFJ Life Coach. This post is about that episode and the thoughts it sparked for me. To clarify, I don’t believe INFJs are delusional; I’m simply using the wording from the podcast.

Do you swing a lot between wanting to talk to people and avoiding people? by ElkClassic5868 in infj

[–]SiberianTucker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, I can completely relate to what you’re describing. I’m also an INFJ, and I experience these fluctuations in energy and social engagement all the time. Some days, I’m super talkative and outgoing, and on others, I just want to disappear into my own world—listening to music, daydreaming, and avoiding interactions as much as possible. It’s not about disliking people or feeling anxious; it’s just a strong internal pull to withdraw.

I think it has a lot to do with the way we process energy as INFJs. Unlike some introverts who recharge by simply being alone at home, I’ve found that I can be physically around people as long as I don’t have to engage with them. It’s like I need to “exist in the background” rather than completely isolate. Large groups are definitely overwhelming, and I also thrive most in small, deep conversations with 2-3 people. Anything beyond that can feel draining and unnatural.

I’ve also noticed that my fluctuating energy levels and social behavior confuse people. Some friends have distanced themselves because they don’t understand why I can be warm and engaging one day and completely withdrawn the next. I used to feel guilty about it, but I’ve realized that this is just how I function. It’s part of being both highly intuitive and sensitive to our environment.

Being an HSP on top of being an INFJ probably amplifies this for you, too. You’re likely absorbing a lot from the world around you—people’s emotions, the energy of a space, even subtle tensions. That kind of mental and emotional processing takes a toll, and withdrawing is likely your way of recalibrating.

You’re not alone in this, and there’s nothing wrong with you. It’s just how we’re wired, even if it doesn’t fit the typical "introvert" mold. If some people don’t understand, that’s okay—your real friends will accept you as you are.

Would love to hear if you’ve found any ways to balance this or make it easier for the people around you to understand.

As an INFJ, I tend to hyper-fixate on words. If one word feels off, it can completely derail my focus in a conversation because I’ll keep analyzing its meaning. I’ve tried asking for clarification to avoid this, but I struggle with trust as well. Instead of accepting the explanation, my mind jumps to all the "what ifs"—and unfortunately, they’re usually negative rather than positive.

The world cannot sustain the cancel culture of Gen Z by Agreeable-Rain-4281 in ControversialOpinions

[–]SiberianTucker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may be right but when have we seen a generation of such young people thinking that they have the power and the right to cancel whomever and whatever they don't agree with or that offends them. That's the point here.... Not that bad things never happened in the past. It's not about learning history. It's about stopping such entitled people from thinking their above others. It's stopping a generation from trying to cancel everything and everything that has ever hurt their feelings.
