I lay in bed for a while, and I thought about YOU.
I stopped pitying myself, and I stopped lecturing people in my mind about MBTI who I know don't care in real life. For once, I was not writting a novel that would change the perspective of the whole world.
I thought about how I could help you with this post. A warm feeling came over me. My mind was thinking, as it often does, but there was no anxiety. In my mind's eye, I saw INFJs sitting at their computer and smiling.
Listen (or read lol), you may not be able to change the world, but you can make an impact in the lives of other people. You can't be the bad guy. It isn't in you. Some INTJs may be able to live their lives happily as misanthorpes, but if you become one, then you will feel like a bad person, and it will destroy you.
Continue to fantasize about talking to people, present your ideas, but don't try to push them on others. Think as realistically as possible of ideas that can really make an impact on someone in your life or someone you could potentionally meet in the future, and imagine that the person appreciates you. Don't get swept away in theories or philosophy or even the MBTI- that was my mistake. And like I've said before, don't try to keep constantly changing your mindset. It will not bring you peace.
I've read on this forum before where someone said something to the affect of "don't worry about others; worry about yourself." I would recommend that you concern yourself with both. You need to take care of yourself. You have to have alone time, BUT by virtue of your personality it is very important for you to find a way to also serve others. You will never be fulfilled if you do not.
God or Nature or Fate or some space alien has put you on this earth to care for other people. I know you want people to care about you as well, and I also know that you feel like you will never be understood. Let those feelings go, and try your best to outwardly express yourself more. That's why people don't show their appreciation for you; they can't read what's going on in your head. Do not be affraid to show your emotions. They are not a weakness. Everybody has them (even Ts). They may cause you trouble during times of sadness, but they also allow you to care for others and be happy.
I hope that this has helped some of you. It has helped me in a big way. I recently told a family member that as soon as I could raise some money I would go back to school to become a psychologist. I am not going to die without making a difference. I suggest you don't either. You have too much to give.
