[INFJ] Video: Being an "emotional sponge" vs. empathy, PTSD, INFJs, etc.

[fourfour]

I'm a bit new here after lurking and learning for a long time.

Thought I would share this video that was passed along to me re: what it's like to be "an emotional sponge": https://youtu.be/NrqQNK_b1_g

Also talks about how it can be slightly different from actual "empathy" and maybe it can be the opposite. Also, how sucking in others' emotions can be related to PTSD, etc. and a few suggestions about how to get a little more balanced.

I know as an INFJ (and four) I really relate to this and found it very helpful.

What do you think?

Um, I'm sorry. I don't know why the video is coming up as an advertisement! I'm sorry, I'm really not trying to spam. I thought I had posted correctly. Now I feel like a total outsider weirdo. My fourness is exploding my brain.
