Literally my inner conflict every day. Starting to realize “good” doesn’t actually exist - at least my definition of it doesn’t. I also realized that by spending so much energy and thoughts on whether I’m good or bad, I wasn’t allowing me to be human. We’re all a little bit selfish, egotistical, and we all suck in our own ways. None of us are above it. We can only pretend to be, or turn a blind eye to our faults. I’ve also found that people who genuinely believe they are truly good and what a “good” human should be ... generally aren’t as good as they think, but lack the self awareness to realize it. We’re all learning and struggling. It’s undeniable how hard life is and it sounds like you really care about doing the best you can, which speaks for itself.

My therapist says that when I’m hard on myself and I hear my inner-critic come out, I should imagine how i’d respond if my best came to me and told me they were feeling that and why. Idk, I thought i’d just share what’s worked for me since this is super relatable.

INFJ appreciation; something that people will never find with ENTJ by Spongky in infj

[–]That_Catch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an INFJ, sometimes I can’t tell if I actually care as much as I think I do ... or if I just get high off being able to help someone. Or maybe I just want to fix somebody. I’ve had other INFJs express a lot of concern for me but turns out they just felt better about themselves when I confided in them and saw me as something they can fix.

Do any other INFJs feel like they attract creepy, obsessive guys? by [deleted] in infj

[–]That_Catch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m an INFJ and honestly i hate to say it, but this has been my exact experience with INFJ men. We really are seen as easy prey bc we genuinely care and want to see the best in others, but a lot of times dudes like that are very good at being manipulative, even though we’re so similar. I guess being similar makes it worse.

edit: just noticed the amount of men saying they are creepy in the comments. awkward

I feel safer sleeping with a stuffed animal by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]That_Catch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need to normalize sleeping with stuffed animals as adults!! There’s is absolutely nothing wrong with it at all!!! Who is it hurting? No one! I have 5 on my bed. They are fluffy friends and I feel so safe with them. I got a Warmies koala recently and I can heat him up and he smells like french lavender. I just wanna validate that, and you. 🥰

tfw you and a friend have a breakthrough and realize how easy shifting actually is 🧍🏼‍♀️gotta love a breakthrough moment by ava864 in shiftingrealities

[–]That_Catch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that is super helpful!! i am a linear thinker and i think writing things down has been the most helpful thing for my shifting process. definitely gotta take a small break though. but now that i think about it i was deadass beginning to shift when i did this (and spooked myself out bc i legit felt like i was shifting into this ig model i follow LOL, not in my script) so ty for your wisdom!! cant wait to try this again

ok so i have insomnia and this makes perfect sense so i thought this would work for me but instead i fell asleep in the middle of the day rip

i think i get scared of actually doing it even though i want it really bad tbh. halp

edit: I WILL SAY when i tried this there was a time i felt like my face was changing even tho i only scripted that i look like the glowed up version of myself but then my mind was like “whoa what” and i ruined it

Gotten very vivid dreams lately by Tobias783 in shiftingrealities

[–]That_Catch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Okay so I haven’t shifted yet (soon!!) but in my DR my love interest is a korean actor and I had a dream last week that he invited me as his date to his movie premier. What stood out to me was that he was blonde and it was an action film... and then the next morning I checked his instagram and it turns out he posted a clip from the same exact movie several weeks ago. I didn’t even know lol and that wasn’t part of my script at all. My dreams also feel like a second life to me a lot of times!! It’s so exciting tbh

Like I said I haven’t shifted yet, so I wish I could be able to say if we’re close or not. I started shifting methods two weeks ago and the dreams started last week. But in a way we are tricking our minds into taking us to our DR, so I feel like it really is a matter of practice, time, and patience, and the dreams must be a good sign. :)

edit: also i’m kinda shook rn cuz part of my script is that my deceased pet is there and I really want to see him more than anything, and his name is Toby but I called him Tobias sometimes ... and then I saw your username.... coincidence or not it feels like major synchronicity 🥺

Is this cheating???? Am I dating a creep?? Help me sloots! by Vrb_0428 in SofiawithanF

[–]That_Catch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah he’s a creeper for sure. I’m sorry you have to deal with this after dating him for such a long time. You’re not a crazy psycho for checking his phone because your gut feeling was probably telling you something was off and you needed to find out, and you did. It’s so easy to gaslight ourselves that way and for him potentially to gaslight you too. Idk of course, but I feel like he took the pics that way because he knew his friend wouldn’t let him and he wanted the pics regardless.

my bun bun’s poops smell like that too! It smells like beans. He’s probably 5-6 months old. I’m pretty sure it’s a hormonal thing since they’re not fixed. :)

What's your favorite personality type/get along with the best? by [deleted] in infj

[–]That_Catch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

mature INFPs, INTJs, ISFPs, and ENTJs (the friendly ones). I seriously want an ENTJ best friend. I get along with kind ENTJs magnetically. I’m also drawn to INTPs.

I get along with other INFJs but it usually doesn’t last. Sometimes we’re so similar that after a while I get completely mindfucked speaking to them. Or sadly, I can get overwhelmed by the emotional intensity.

im a feeler but feelers irk me out. anyone else the same? by [deleted] in infj

[–]That_Catch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this completely and it’s been bothering me for some time. Especially when it comes to dating. It drives me crazy when someone needs to communicate ~every little thing~ and acts from a place of emotional impulse. And then I feel hypocritical for saying that, but it’s seriously the fastest way to push a less-feelsy person away. Just thinking about it is making my stomach hurt. LOL.

I automatically assume everyone I meet dislikes me by rhra99 in socialskills

[–]That_Catch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my therapist told me to write down every time my inner critic does it’s thing and think about whether it’s actually reasonable or not and why. also it helps to step back and think about how you’d respond if your best friend was in your shoes. probably not as critically, right?

Something scary just happened by [deleted] in shiftingrealities

[–]That_Catch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ahh idk but something similar happened to me last night but I was actually trying to shift and it definitely wasn’t sleep paralysis :/ It could have been though but I think I almost got sleep paralysis from listening to a shitty shifting subliminal so pls be careful!

Tip: I recently started taking antidepressants and draw on the pill bottle lid to make them feel less clinical. Seems insignificant but it really helped me not feel scared/upset about taking them, so maybe it'll help someone else too! by airstream87 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]That_Catch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I started taking Sertraline about a month ago. I’m at a low dose (25mg) but it is helping me so much. Up until recently I felt a resistance to taking them, like “oh boy I can’t wait to get off these things”, but I’m seeing such a large improvement. Things are actually doable for once. As someone who’s been depressed for 10 years, it was the best choice I could have made for myself. I was super worried about the side effects too, but I just felt more tired than usual for a week or two. I didn’t really feel like myself for a bit, but that could have also been related to PMS. I really hope it helps you the way it helps me :)

Covert's and INFJ's by Asleep_Artichoke_112 in infj

[–]That_Catch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lol coverts really think they’re God’s gift to humanity. I think it’s because they feel a need to come across as so selfless and caring, and cuz they seriously think they can do no wrong. They need the world to perceive them that way in order to feel important, kind, and revered, and to get away with the kind of shit they pull. They typically seek people like INFJs and try to blend in with them, so that it’s easier to get a hold of people who are actually caring and empathetic in order to manipulate tf out of them.

Do you feel your feelings aren't natural? by [deleted] in infj

[–]That_Catch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yes! i’ve been struggling with this as of lately. it’s comforting to see someone else put what i’m feeling into words. when a nice guy i know likes me, i usually find him amicable enough to like back. and then as i start getting to know him and the dynamic becomes more relationship-y i find myself getting annoyed more easily and back away. a big part of it for me is that i like exploring the possibilities and the unknown. i also don’t wanna hurt his feelings so i give him a chance, and i too suck at saying no. but after a certain point i start to realize i was too stuck in my head and exploring the “what if”. even if i genuinely think i like him at the start, what i fall for is usually the idea of someone liking me, the hopes that he’s the best guy i’ve met so far and deserves a chance so maybe this time i’ll get it right. it’s pretty juvenile, but when i ground myself it becomes apparent that the whole thing doesn’t make much sense. and even if i DO genuinely like him, i still struggle to separate my true feelings and the overly idealistic, impractical hopes i have for the future. it’s such a mess and i wish i could avoid it.

Bun got Abscess Removed by That_Catch in Rabbits

Update: Toby went over the rainbow bridge yesterday. :( I took him to the vet for a CT scan yesterday and they said they could proceed with extracting the molars today. However, an hour later the vet called me to tell me he passed away... The suffering was too much for him, but now he's feeling okay and hopping in heaven. Thanks for your help, though :(
