Okay, so all I've been were smiles and sunshine since I've first signed up to this wonderful forum... And while there were times where I was genuinely happy corresponding with other members on here, I also feel like I need to get this out of my chest... A curse that all of us INFPs know and loathe is our ability to become overly emotional. I hate it... I haven't developed my T at all, and with a very strong working F in my personality, I am often struck with powerful feelings that I usually keep boiling deep inside me... It hurts me to the point where it physically feels bad. My chest will tighten, my back will create knots, and I would feel sick to my stomach before I start to cry. :sad:
I just wish I wasn't so overly emotional sometimes. It has gotten me in a lot of trouble in the past and I'm sick of having thin skin... I don't care what strangers have to think about me (unless they're very harsh), but when remembering all the stinging words that loved ones have told me, I just start to cry and then hate myself more for it. I just wish I was stronger... Nobody, ever, doesn't like it when I show my emotional side. Ever.
I just wished I knew what to do. How do you deal with such powerful emotions?
