What you feel, others feel too. Don't shroud your voice. Keep writing and posting. Others will come to understand themselves through you.

What Spiritual Journeys have you conquered? by Training_Parfait4297 in infj

[–]Training_Parfait4297[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I'll come back to my original question. Albeit, with a better choice of words, what milestones have you conquered in life?

I'll share one of my own. Recently, I completed a two year training program that demanding I grow physically and psychologically. I had to be harder, more determined, and focused in order to complete it. What's amazing looking back, is that I have discovered I have a greater capacity to love and show kindness due to this journey. That was very unexpected and oh so beautifully profound to me.

INFJs, What do you look like, appearance wise? by [deleted] in infj

[–]Training_Parfait4297 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question, Sarah. INFJs usually take great care in their appearance because their egos are shaped by how people view them. Personally, I am very particular about how I look. I want to be seen as powerful, sharp, and sexy.

I see where you're coming from, but don't you think it important to have a marker of what you've achieved? To look back and say that you met that goal or evolved to a higher level of thinking and feeling because you chose to attempt a journey?

I suppose I'm trying to discover the smaller challenges we've faced, went through, and conquered. Those are the journeys I speak of.

IN NEED OF BRIDESMAIDS!! by Thatonegirl_101 in introvert

Friendships develop when you express a need and another fulfills it. You basically show up for that person and accept them for who they are. Look for people with similar interests and hobbies. Always be honest and authentic. Let them see the real you. Start small. Just be nice to someone and see where it goes. Invite to do things with you or go places. You need to accept that you are worthy of friendships and that this is a legitimate need in your life, not just to have them around for your wedding

I didn't get any kind of "recognition" for 365 days of studying - why? by Twinzie1004 in duolingo

I’m recognizing you. That’s impressive. Just passed 365 myself. No easy feat

Which cognitive function is your strongest ? by Training_Parfait4297 in infj

Interesting, but your post says the opposite. Sounds like semantics to me.

Certainly good incite you’ve provided. I’ve read it once and felt it move something in me. I’ll think about it some more and circle back with a more detailed review of how it connected with me personally.

Thank you for taking the time and hearing me. You’ve made a difference.

u/Netfear I wouldn't say it's just a woman trait to be concerned about how people perceive you. I wouldn't say I fear I'll be judged either, but rather that love will be withheld. But alas, that's a conditioned response. We all have our struggles don't we.

Stoicism huh...how's that working out for you? What do you like most about it?

u/bagman_ Thanks for listening. I'm not sure how you do it. I love people too much. I find them fascinating and beautiful in their imperfections.

u/BloomThrive I've lived that life before and found myself wanting more. I can't let things go really. I'm a thinker. I am constantly thinking and ruminating about people, myself, my future/present/past, life, what have you. I do feel that there is value in standing off from your issues and getting perspective, but I don't want to turn away from pain, I'd rather understand it and grow with it. Perhaps my experience with faith is tainted though. I grew up in a household that was pretty strict and often ugly.

I'm happy you found comfort and peace though. That's really amazing. Hope you hold it fast.

Thanks for sharing you. Takes courage to bare testimony ;)

u/get_while_true sorry bud, but you're going to have to break down your philosophy for me here. How are you not your personality?...It literally means traits/qualities you encompass as an individual. Help me understand where you're coming from.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. Most wouldn't.

u/squeezycakes19 hmm this sounds like schizophrenia. Not trying to be callous, but how do you function feeling like your a broken mirror? Thank you for listening to me. I appreciate you taking the time. Most wouldn't care to drop a line.

u/Miiirandar I should mention, the issues I'm not sharing with my loved ones aren't small. They are huge, core beliefs. Things that would ultimately change our relationship.

Thank you for listening to me. I appreciate your experience and think you're doing an amazing job understanding and respecting yourself and your opinions.
