Any other INFJs experienced a similar problem or am I just...[??]

I suspect other INFJs have difficulty verbally expressing what their brain knows within the span of a short moment.

But consider this. If you didn't do what you do (pick up the emotional clues), do you think being merely told about it instead of having experienced it would be adequate? I think the gap between the theory and the practice, even if the theory accurately represents it, is a... a world apart, shall we say?

Imagine if you lived in a world that didn't pick any emotional clues, and then a visitor from outside it tried to describe a world of emotional clues to you. Even if they did a good job, that alone would hardly make you proficient or necessarily able to comprehend their meaning.

Or not.

Exactly

Based from what I have encountered with INFJs so far, a lot of them seem to continue to struggle with that issue of communication, which isn't to say they fail at it or will always fail at it. Just that it remains an issue of interest to them... that it doesn't seem to go away. An ongoing struggle, even if that struggle eventually becomes a smaller deal.

Now, if you are describing you ability to pick up on less common abilities like insightful listening to emotional clues beyond merely how society superficially categorizes them, not only are you attempting to overcome communication, but you will probably find it difficult to get people who are talented at communication but know what you are actually talking about. Which probably makes it all the more difficult, because relying on the talent of allies is usually a quick and relatively painless alternative.

I am fairly sure I know the basics about what you are trying to talk about, but teaching someone how to pick up those skills and use them seem... like a considerable challenge. Even if I was up to the task, I'd need a pretty good student or I'd think it would have rather... slow prospects of success, if at all.

It is almost funny. We are trying to pass on our skills that make us relatively useful or special in order to by a degree make us redundant.

Why not just relish in the glory of being difficult to replace? You know, aside from the part there is no glory if no one realizes it is there and appreciates it.

But even if they did appreciate it, it probably wouldn't be worth glory. It is just a part of life we didn't ask for nor really is a moral or intellectual credit any more than possessing an arm or toe is. You have it not on your accord, but what is the point of celebration?

So if standing above and beyond others doesn't bring glory... do we need to rethink our ego complexes? If our systems of improving our self worth are innately flawed? Darn.

Haha.

Ah life, how you sometimes mock our efforts and practices.
