You know, it's cool and all for us to "find ourselves" and finally belong, but the few MB literatures I've read, and especially the internet sources, do a job of putting INFJs on a pedestal and thus elevating egos to unhealthy levels. It reminds me of the clichéd tales of the powerless coming into power, becoming seduced by that power, and consequently being unwilling, then, to let it go. Yeah, it's helped my confidence, I guess, but one day I'll have to completely abandon looking at the world through this lens that has become a crutch.
It's seemingly even worse the effect on a lot of INTJs, but that's a horse of a different color.
It's the familiar process of letting go of something you started to believe you couldn't live without -- like when I quit smoking weed every day. It's scary to part from the comfortable and known, but it opens up vast new possibilities. There can be healthy self-esteem without constant awareness of INFJ...
am I losing myself to this monster?
