Am I an INFJ because of my enviroment?
In my youth, early youth that is. I remember distinctly being an Extrovert as for my other functions i'm not entirely sure let's just guess some where around an ENFP. However by time I reached the 6th grade I was almost entirley an Introvert so let's say a INFP. By time I was done with my first year of high school I was most definetly a Judging type.
My thoughts on this could only lead me to believe that my type is a reflection of my past.
when in my early childhood I was constantly around people who were friendly and open or atleast people who didn't want to be mean to children and friends. So I was very open, my mother told me stories of me just walking up and starting conversations with random people or striking up friendships out of knowhere.
This however ended when I entered into my 5th or 6th year of shool. I was heavely taughnted and bullied almost exculisvely verbaly. And so I started to sit alone at lunch and only by people I was friends with in class.
Up untill my beginning year in high school I was very much a Percieveing type, I mostly did things at random or just when the idea poped into my head. However I joined a NJROTC program in highschool and as a part of that program I became a bit more organised and began to find the structure and order of the classes very enjoyable.
So as it stands I find myself a INFJ. The questions is, are we born or made?
would love to hear about simaler experiences or about how completley alone I am, thanks in advance.
