Sometimes it seems to me that with this much influence there comes a price. Almost a responsibility...So, I thought I would share something that really frustrates me and see if any of you ENFJs out there experience the same thing or have other frustrations.
My Frustration: When I am seriously processing something....(going through all the possibilities, cause and effect, random chances, possible emotional fall out, environment, weather, color of the sky, time of day...ect..ect..) I get really quiet and people around me complain. They complain that I am not "happy" or that I am too quiet. I have had people who have said that they depend on me to bring up their spirits. They ask me if I am OK over and over, and will not take "Yes, I am just focusing" as an answer. Most of the time I generate a lot of energy. My mood affects everyone around me, and I am aware that lowering my output can cause a dip in morale, but lord...it is exhausting!
Some days I do not want to be the cheerleader, one person support group, or the one that enables everyone else to get a boost or level out. Somedays,...I just want to be held or left alone to figure it out.
Yes?
