· I still hope that the company that made me redundant goes out of business and those who avoided the redundancy (in particular, the managers that made the decision to fire me) experience the same nightmare I have gone through since it happened. · The ex-friend who betrayed me -...

I liken it to a pressure cooker when the safety valve blows. That's the only way I can describe INFJ rage. It is one part of being an INFJ that scares me the most because I just become incandescent with the person concerned (who, needless to say is door slammed as well) and I only end up...
