Do any of you have this problem? When I have an argument with someone I don't really know or don't particularly like, I literally fall to pieces. I just had an argument with my ''brother'' where I was accused of being a freak for not participating in this Facebook narcassicm. He tried to throw me out of the bathroom because he wanted to use it and I flippantly told him to go and update his facebook status instead, because that's all he seems to do.
As I've mentioned in previous posts, I've had problems with agraphobia (which I've recovered from), but I'm still plagued my feelings of inadequacy and cripplingly low self esteem. Consequently, I don't have many frineds and hardly any ''virtual friends'' on facebook, the latter however is a concious decision. Facebok has turned into an ego - fest. There are few people in this counrty who have acheived that much to warrant the amount of self-publicity displayed on the plethora of egocentric statuses which pollute the site. Drifting off topic slightly, sorry. Anyway he commmented on my sporadic status and scoffed that the reason I haven't posted any pictures of myself is because I'm a ''scruffy ***t''. I tried to articuale my thoughts on facebook, saying that it was an outlet for people to project an idealized image of themselves and commented on his rather pretentious page.
Anyway, as I was trying to explain myself, I was shaking, hyperventilating and couldn't construct my sentences properly. Such displays of nerves provoked a scathing attack from my brother, who laughed at me and encouraged me to cry, and declared that if I died nobody would care. As I'm writing this, I'm still shaking and my heart is beating like crazy. I wish I could have kept a cooler head, because I know that I could have beaten him. I just turned to mush instead. Is it a confidence issue or is it something all infp's can relate to?:sad:
