Okay I'm still a little heated about this so bear with me if I forget punctuation or grammar. So I go to a private christian school and my 2nd period is Bible IV. Well our Bible teacher retired last year, so the school's president is teaching all 55 seniors in one class period. He's a potbellied...

Hello INFJs of the interwebs, I got emotionally abused by a covert narcissist for two years, I was codependent with her and she was my best friend. After weeks of guilt inducing I ended the relationship to her. First I was so proud and felt so liberated and full of energy. Now I just saw how...

I feel ashamed of even the slightest of things! If someone points out my shoelace is untied, I feel ashamed at being so stupid as to not have noticed. If I get an answer wrong in class, I feel an overwhelming burning shame. I was wondering if any other Dreamers have this problem, and if that...

What I mean by this is, Which mistakes do you most often avoid making that might bring the most negative feelings in you. I did not want to include other emotions for a reason. The IF temperament is most avoidant of these emotions, from what I have observed. I left multiple choices open in case...

I regret saying things. My filter is terrible. I don't know if it's all in my head and leading me to behave inappropriatly or if it's my own self-loathing that attempts to hide itself beneathe jokes. I'm not sure. I feel guilty about the things I regret. The thing about guilt is that it isn't...

Who would you say, from experience, observation or just plain theoretical understanding/reasoning tolerates feelings of shame better? Who can dismiss these feelings easier and who might not care about doing shameful acts as much due to less of a priority on these after-feelings? Feelers or...

Hi everyone, sooo ... after I managed to put this thread into the INTJ forum first without noticing (because I had to head out the door) :dry: ... I'll try it in the right place again and guiltily facepalm myself while I do so:

Hi everyone, 

I had one of those "Aha" moments today about myself/my life and I wanted to know if you can relate to this as an INFJ? 
 I always feel extremely guilty and sometimes ashamed when I cannot meet other peoples expectations (even unspoken ones). 
Even if I say I’m sorry and the...

INFP- Disappointed in self!!! Hi I'm new here, although I've been lurking for years! ~INFP~ :love_heart: I was just wondering if you ever feel extremely disappointed in yourself when/if you 'miss-sell your personality'? Like if I do or say (or even buy, or wear, or eat) something that I feel...

Hi everyone! I genuinly can't figure out why I'm not able to cry in front of people, not even the ones I'm closest to. I'm usually a very emotional driven person. So when I'm watching a movie or when I recieve some bad news and I'm alone in that moment, it comes very easy to me. But why, the...

As of recently I have made a personal discovery about the origins of how and why I have a certain fear. And it also ties in with the Enneagram 4 labeled fear "that they have no identity or personal significance". Generally, with "friends" (both close and acquaintance) I tend to hide away or...

I made some videos about being Enneagram 2 Sx as well as an INFJ. The theme is mostly shame. Any thoughts on the matter are welcome. :love_heart:

I've been listening to Brene Brown's research/works on shame and vulnerability. I've recently had an epiphany that I have a very deep believe system of shame around relationships. I know most of us are intellectual types (NT), and that shame is mostly an emotional issue. Over the years of...

I ask this in regards to confronting emotions that you may be feeling at the moment, or attempt to resolve pent-up emotions associated with past events. (I.e. guilt upon realization that you may have been acting in harmful ways towards specific people in your life, that rare time when you let...

I was curious if anyone else can relate to this and how it relates to type: I prefer my own company to interacting with others because when I am alone, my moods, self-esteem and sense of self stay the same - which is what I feel the most comfortable with. However, since I am extremely thin...
