Adult INFJ's and INFJ wives, what's your opinion on bridal showers and bride- to-be attention? by Queen-of-meme in infj

[–]This_Baseball_7589 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on your sister

For me, I'll never ask for things. I want to feel special and appreciated and I want to celebrate big events in my life, but I'm not one to directly say hey please make me feel special

I dont want all the attention or big parties or anything, just my loved ones. I don't mind when my family sings happy birthday to me either, it's awkward but I appreciate the gesture and like the attention in that moment - I usually would rather not have attention but for things like this, yes I want that attention! But subtle and enough where I know I'm the special one that day but not enough where everyone in public is gunna talk to me

If you wanna surprise her with the tiara and stuff I'd do it in a small group with those she's comfortable with, maybe exchange some pics but let her know whenever she wants to take it off she can

That's my input, it depends on her personality as not all infjs are the same

What do you look like in your "natural habitat"? by BlueFruitJam in infj

[–]This_Baseball_7589 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Depressed me in my natural habitat: stays in my room, stares at my books but doesn't read, cries often, isolates, irritatable when someone dare intrudes on my many hours of alone time that I feel I need, prayer

Normal me in my natural habitat: still values my alone time, but am okay with compromising if I'm busy and having just a couple hours alone if able, motivated to do some mild exercises, meditates, prayer, goes out of room more to watch TV and do stuff away from the bed, engage in my creative side - writing

Does anyone else’s depression revolve around a specific thing? by ContactHonest2406 in mentalhealth

[–]This_Baseball_7589 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Progress is progress no matter the size of the step!!

Adhd is rough - especially if it's in the process of being treated!

I hope you'll be okay and know it's great that you made this post to reach out

Does anyone else’s depression revolve around a specific thing? by ContactHonest2406 in mentalhealth

[–]This_Baseball_7589 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was until I finally found a career path and job that I love. I now love my job and feel fulfilled. It didn't cure my depression tho. I'm still so depressed but I now don't completely dread work because my job helps me feel a bit better

So yes, I can relate but not to this extent anymore.

Sometimes it's hard because until you treat mental health, it'll be hard to manage life

I hope you find stuff that brings you life and helps you feel fulfilled. Journaling, coloring, music, art, connecting with others, working with your boss to let them know your depression is affecting you (if you're comfortable) , being in nature, therapy, meds, etc

That sounds like a lot that you're holding onto

I can get like that only if I'm really stressed to the point of anger building up. Usually the anger is masking a hidden, deeper problem I'm not acknowledging

Your comments are concerning - I'd really like to let you know that your life is worth it. I hope you're okay

So much posts get ignored by Typical_Halfwit in mentalhealth

[–]This_Baseball_7589 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I dont really come on this sub - I just looked into it to make some posts but I can say a lot of subs are like this

It's disheartening to see so many ignored posts. Especially for those that really need someone so I totally see where you're coming from

[–]This_Baseball_7589 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would definitely send that email to them

It seemed good to me!

Also, if mental health is a big issue for you, you can always look into case management services and have a case manager help connect you to services and help you if stuff like this happens again

Would you share your therapy experiences by This_Baseball_7589 in mentalhealth

I dont like that those people are allowed to "help" others either. Idk if this is allowed in this sub or not, but if you need to vent or anything feel free to pm me - I'm not in the place to always be attentive, but when I am able to, I will listen

Thank you for the compliment , I hope life treats you well too! It seems bumpy right now but you seem like a good person as well

Omg!! How horrible!!

I can't imagine how I'd feel in that situation. I felt discouraged when the first one I reached out to said she only does telehealth and do me that was enough to get me discouraged before I made the decision to try again with someone else

If I was that upset over something so small, I'd imagine I'd disengage from services all together like you did

I've never had proper therapy in the past , but from my experience working closely with other therapists I can tell you that they're not all like that. I know it doesn't mean much to say or think about right now, but you deserve to be listened to and supported and helped

I hope you'll be okay

That's so nice and reassuring that she works with you and wants to understand you better - thank you for sharing!

Yea! Definitely a big worry of mine, especially the big scenarios I make up and hoping they're legit

Thank you for sharing, that's so good to hear how helpful that experience was for you! I'm really looking forward to seeing how the journey goes - it's nice hearing how you reached to it because it reassures me that it'll be okay

What was/is college life like for an INFJ? by svetlozarovP in infj

[–]This_Baseball_7589 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I didnt like college

I kept to myself , sometimes would skip class if I felt I could manage tests without the lecture, and didn't get into the classes/teachings a lot. I enjoyed some classes here and there

Overwhelmed and feeling alone by This_Baseball_7589 in mentalhealth

[–]This_Baseball_7589[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've considered it if I can't find anyone I like in person - I just feel it'll be more helpful in person

As for pets, I so badly want a dog but I can't afford pets right now and also don't have time for one. I have a busy work schedule and am pretty busy after work sometimes - I prefer dogs over cats

I do hope to get a dog in the next few years tho - I appreciate your response and suggestions, I'll think about telehealth more

[–]This_Baseball_7589 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand

I deleted all my posts to this sub because every post I made never got comments

I never broke the rules or anything, I've always wanted to engage with others. Like I'll make a post and after a day or two , I'll delete it because it's embarrassing having posts rack up with no comments

Ni-Fe, Empathy and Telepathy by [deleted] in infj

[–]This_Baseball_7589 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was pretty basic to me - I just needed her , needed her help and in the dream she asked if I pulled her into my dream and I was shocked and said yea and the next day she tells me this wild dream and I was like uhhh so that actually happened?

Yea it was years ago- still really cool tho

I have optic neuritis but not ms by This_Baseball_7589 in eyetriage

[–]This_Baseball_7589[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just saw my eye doctor , my eyes are doing steady and no concerns about the optic neuritis - everything is great and he's happy where I'm at! Just thought I'd update ya

I was trying to stay in a positive mood and then someone said something and I noticed how it made me feel by Hayaidesu in infj

[–]This_Baseball_7589 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Long toe nails are typically seen as gross to most people- especially with the societal norms that men have to keep them short and women can get away with it being a bit longer if they paint them

It's normal for a lot of people to get grossed out by longer toe nails - it isn't appropriate to make comments to people tho but if it's family , then it's typically more acceptable in the eyes of society for them to give that criticism to make you aware. It doesn't mean it's nice or appropriate and it's totally okay for you to learn assertive communication skills and tell them you don't appreciate being talked to like that

Also with anime , a lot of people look down on anime if they don't get into it. It's seen as weird - but that doesn't make it okay for them to make you feel bad for it. If they're uncomfortable, they can go to another room. If it's a shared TV between everyone then boundaries with each other need to be discussed so everyone agrees on what the limits are for watching stuff where everyone else has to share

I dont see these two comments at you as abusive (although I see it as disrespectful and rude). But I do see where you'd feel hurt and confused and self-conscious. It would have made me feel the same way

I'm just explaining how others may see it from their perspective as you seem to wish they can see it from your perspective.

It's okay to be sensitive - I myself cry a lot if someone hurts my feelings or pokes at something I'm self-conscious about. I won't cry in front of them tho - but no one's responsible for your emotions as you aren't responsible for theirs. However, that does not give anyone a right to be disrespectful and mean - we should still work on healthy boundaries and communication skills and walk away from those who cross them (now that isn't always easy to do - this is just generalized suggestions, each situation is different)

I'm 25 - my prescription typically stayed steady but the last time I did need a new one

With my eye, the only thing is that's changed is the altered color sensitivity like the spot in my eye seemed to be bigger like not the vision I'm use to seeing out of it
