INFJ Strengths

Do you want my honest opinion? It might sting, but if you want my comments on this, I have them. Otherwise, I can't really speak to Catholicism.

Honestly no. If it might sting then I see no real point. Maybe I am too sensitive because the environment I grew up in was far too rigid and controlled and as a young INFJ who tried my best to make everyone happy but yet failed I’m not open ti feedback. I feel each person is on their own path and maybe one day I can go back towards Christianity but as for now, there’s no room for me there and I’m not going to spend the rest of my remainder of my life trying to convince people that I don’t need saved. I need places where others are allowed to be themselves, if not I’d simply like to avoid confrontation or anymore unpleasant conversations than I’ve already had trying to prove my point that all are worthy of being loved.

Fair enough.
 
@Hyacinth have you ever looked at transactional analysis (TA)? It’s a psychological model but complementary to MBTI rather than a rival to it. It deals with the dynamics of the way people interact with each other. You might find it interesting because it deals with the sort of problems you describe.

I’ve attached an introductory video - I can link the remaining two videos and recommend some books if you would like.

Yeah, thanks for reaching out. I have been learning more lately not to give people advice if they don't want it.

No worries at all. I am 100% ALWAYS open to feedback. It’s how we grow and I can’t know my shortcomings without someone telling me. I’d rather everyone be honest because it’s way easier on me but rarely do others types see eye to eye with me on this 🤣😆 They are usually totally comfortable giving me constructive criticism but rarely do they ever want it back and don’t see my advice as help which is always how I mean it. I learn through getting to know someone who prefers honesty and who to be more delicate with in my approach but me personally?? I prefer honesty because it’s a much easier on me to understand. I will rarely get offended because I can easily tell the difference between someone who genuinely wants to help or a put down since they have two vastly different “feels” to it.
