Is it an INFJ thing to attract people in need? For as long as I can remember, people with problems tend to befriend me.
Also, do you find it difficult to initiate friendships? I've always had quite a few friends but I never initiate the friendships myself. I wish that I felt more comfortable doing so because I would like to have more control over the types of people that I am friends with. Somehow, I have too much fear of being intrusive or of bothering somebody who doesn't really want my friendship. I guess I over analyze the situation and hold back because I would rather not risk making the other person feel at all obliged or uncomfortable - and it's not because I lack confidence or think I'm unworthy. I just hate the thought of being too 'in your face'. Anyone else struggle with this?
