Hey ISFJs, I wondered if there is someone who has similar experiences as I have just simply because we have the same personality type. I've been reading many posts by ISFJs here and am amazed at how similar my experiences are to theirs.
Last night, my friends, who are extraverts, and I were having some fun since we're in college and this semester is almost over. Even though, I got pretty tired by putting so much energy by socializing with them for one whole day but I was having fun. One friend of mine is so into personality types since I told him about the differences between introverts and extraverts, that there are 16 personalities, and all interesting stuff.
He found a demographic on the personalitypage website on each personality type and told us about the intelligence level according to personality type listed from highest to lowest. All of their personality types were listed higher than mine and all of them looked at me like I'm stupid. I didn't make a comment on that because I felt judged by them, and I didn't really care about this demographic and thought it was pointless. It doesn't prove our achievements because we can be successful no matter what type we have. Another friend was trying to explain to me what was on the website and tried to show me the demographic. I repeatedly told him that I can read and will read it later. I just wanted to talk about something else but they were so obsessed about this demographic as they felt so superior, regardless of how often they ask me what the vocabulary words and the sentences mean and I could answer all of them. I'm known as a sensitive person, and I got so upset and hurt that I became withdrawal and just wanted them to leave. Around an hour later, they finally got a hint that I wasn't interested in their talk anymore.
Throughout my life, I've been told that I'm very intelligent. But I'm still struggling with my self-esteem and used to believe that I was stupid because of the way other people treated me for years. Things have been improving for me but it takes time. So, does my reaction to this situation make sense? If you were put in this situation, how would you respond to it?
