      I would say, that just happened with my landlady. I have no idea, what she saw in me. I am 42 years old (look luckily like around 30) and since last September I am a Freelancer as an artist and so I do not work the 9-5 job anymore.
      I currently live in Ireland, but I am originally from Austria. Back in Austria I was a branch manager by the age of 24 and had my own VET-Number bei the age of 29. I always had two different jobs in Austria (because I worked not a "normal one" there either and only took a "normal" job, as I moved to Ireland, that I have my so called PPS-Number and can easily pay the bills, next to my studies. I finished my studies in July 2021 (still in the middle of the bad C-thing, so not the best timing), but decided already there to cut the dies to my "normal job". The good thing in Ireland is, that until a certain amount, you do not even pay tax as an artist. So last September I got the opportunity to work at a Film-Set (Back in Austria I did 2 Workshops as an actress and was on numerous stages, and did a BA (hons) degree in digital film production at an University in the UK (which ended in July 2021), so I can work behind and in front of the cameras), for several days. When I am at a production, I work minimum 10 hours a day, but that for I have often 2-3 weeks "off" in between.
      So long explanation. At the end of March, the landlady got "nuts", because I am "not working enough" and so on (I paid everything I had to pay). I should work harder, what I am even doing,..... I was looking at her and said like, I am a freelancer and can take, what I want. She was looking at me like, "how is that possible, bla bla," She continuing giving out, because she was scared that I could not pay the bills, for some odd reason. I looked at her and told her, what I wrote above. She looked at me and asked again, "how this is possible", I replied, "because I am 42." At this moment, she could not reply anymore.
      Last week I got the energy bill and with it my new bill for the rent and the "missing deposit", because the rent went up with the words, If it is not paid before the 15th we see us in court. For no reason, she threatened me with it. By today she got 2.300 Euros. I am wondering what she is doing next, to make my life miserable. I have no idea, how a woman, who is nearly 20 years older as I am, can get so in-mature. Back in March, she was treating me like a 20 years old student. She also was always texting me, either after 22:00 at night (often even at mid-night) or at weekends. I have now an attitude , because I remembered her one more time, that I switch off my phone at 22:00 at night and switch it on the next day at 09:00 am as well because I said, that, if there is not an emergency (house burns down, whatever in this kind) I do not respond at weekend, because I see it as a "business thing". Oh she is furious now. I would say, there is even more going on with her. But, what else she wants to do.
      Sorry, it sometimes happens, that I write a half novel. Thanks for your videos and to everyone who is reading this novel, thank you as well. ❤

    If someone tries to put a label on me for any reason, I go hard at not allowing that to happen. No one gets to define me just to make themselves feel more in control. I've been that way since childhood. It's laughable when people try to intimidate me. People also have no idea how much I step back and deliberately don't crush them when I can. I believe people are so used to the idea of not feeling/believing like they are truly seen, so when someone acknowledges that they do truly see you it freaks them out even if they say they want that.

      @theprinceofcrows8691 Рік тому +8

      Yeah labels are a problem for me too. I don't do well with them and most of the time they are so far off base it is offensive. And we live in a world where people look to label and categorize everything into neat little classifications with clearly defined characteristics or traits. I absolutely hate it.
      And as far as when people lash out and try to draw blood, I never use people's insecurities and weak points against them, especially with women. I rarely unload on someone and never store ammo over sensitive points or insecurities that a person reveals in confidence or that I pick up on. I take their trust serious even under those circumstances. They may try to all out blast me but I generally play within a certain set of boundaries of my own that prevent lasting damage or long term hurt that really scars a person or damages relationships with people. I don't even consider it a possibility to use it and it doesn't enter my head in the context of an argument.
      It is kind of strange considering how some of these people try their hardest to scar me deeply or do irreversible damage in my life over petty stuff that is ridiculous. It is just not who I am and I don't let others control me or my emotional intensity like that. So I totally get that too. 🤙👍

      @theprinceofcrows8691 Рік тому

      @@quirogatnonerrat3214 There is nothing wrong with a correct label or a classification system if it is well founded and arrived at through a solid system of analysis. What I have a problem with is pseudoscience masquerading as a scientific system that leads to labels being passed around without much consideration that are harmful and limiting to someone's potential and possibilities. People like to think if they can label someone or something they have them figured out and it often has zero basis in reality. Like children believing they hold power over giant dinosaurs because they can recall and state their name aloud.
      Just to give an example I will use the term "anti social". What does that really mean? What is anti social today can be the social norm of the past or tomorrow so it has little real value and can cause a great deal of problems under the right conditions or circumstances. Being branded anti social because you got in trouble once can limit all kinds of options in life and it may not even be accurate to begin with. The criteria are too vague. The norms of society are not static and vary from point to point. Even some professions can be thoroughly anti social in nature but what it all breaks down to is how it effects and impacts your life when someone brands you with that label. It is counterproductive and just a poor attempt to classify people in unscientific ways that has little true value or meaning constructively.
      Those are the kind of labels that I reject outright on principle and due to research and investigation into the subject. Labels require precision or they are dangerous because a person who is mislabeled can often take that to heart and act based upon a fallacy that has real power over their life. Just like being misdiagnosed can have serious consequences. I hope this better explains my point here because I feel it wasn't understood very well when I first posted on this subject.

    INFJ's, I had this weird epiphany just now about either the INFJ brain (in general) or maybe just my INFJ brain. Has anyone here ever had a hard time just learning to enjoy things. Key word here being LEARNING. I've realized that I've written off a lot of things in my life as things that I "don't like" but realize that once I kind of "awoke" to my INFJ self, I find myself liking things because I am LEARNING how to enjoy things. I think it is my inferior function starting to level up. Enjoying things for what they are is often an "in the moment" thing and we are terrible at that. We deny ourselves so much happiness and I realize this only now, having come around the bend from being an undeveloped INFJ. By putting myself more in the moment and more out there, I am realizing that I can "learn" how to be happy and live a more rich life. Of course, with balance and considering that I still need plenty of alone time.

      Yes, but you can struggle every step of the way learning to enjoy the moment. I had a jolt when I was about to lose someone important in my life and thought back of moments spent with that person and that I didn't enjoy the moments but ruined them for the person by speaking about the future. So I realized I would be a better person for those around me that I care about if I would enjoy the moment. So since the motivation is someone else's happiness, I am trying every step of the way to enjoy the moment as much as ai can, which is still very little and very hard. If I would have to do this only for myself, I wouldn't cuz it isn't worth the trouble, but since it impacts my loved ones, I have no choice but to work on it. You pointed it out very well , I didn't realize how big of a issue was till I got jolted to reality by almost losing someone and going back in my memories that I built with that person and analyzed them in my mind.
      How do you learn? Do you have an agenda of things you wanna try first to ease this process or you try for every single thing you do in your life?

    I believe this is due to our continuous information processing and internal dialogue being mostly to ourselves. If others had the ability to allow us the space to speak the full length of our internal thought processes, like a genuinely good listener, they would understand who we are. The fact that we keep a vast majority of our thoughts to ourselves is why the switch occurs & simultaneously shocks others; they act and say without full awareness of who we are, then are jolted into abrupt acquaintance with our true essence. Live boldly and shock them upon first meeting instead. 😉

      As is Wenzes, this is very Fi-Ni (ISFP) convergent not INFJ. INFJ are primarily abstract logicians with their convergent Ni-Ti...the notion of authenticity isn't really applicable to the INFJs psyche. The vast majority of people mistype themselves as the very rare cognitive INFJ particularly on channels such as this where behaviour is being conflated with cognition.

    I had to smile at #4 - the INFJ is very independent. I am extremely independent - it's in the genes - both my parents are, and I got the full dose from each of them.
    When I taught piano lessons, I think the owner of the studio appreciated it. (I'm friendly, but usually I'd head straight to my studio and get to work and mind my own business). But it scared the liver out of my mentor when I first started teaching in the school system. I respected her experience and input, but always needed to tweak her counsel to fit me. It threatened her. I also had no problem letting her know when I didn't like how she was treating me, and many times she told me that I was "scaring" her. Maybe it was because of #2 - we're aware of others' insecurities.
    We INFJs have a lot of strength that I think we often don't give ourselves credit for. 🙂

      I ended up having to take an "anger management" course at work for this reason many years ago. I never spoke up at meetings or raised my voice...until one fine day I did because I was in time crunch situation and the meeting was going on and on and on. I spoke up with my opinion on the matter at hand and then made my exit. A week later I was summoned to my supervisor's office and put in an HR mandated Anger management program. If I didn't, a letter of reprimand would be on my permanent work record at that company. This whole incident happened because I didn't simply act like all my fellow workers with all their day to day noise and complaints. Instead I was always going along with whatever whether I liked it or not. Which meant that the first time I actually spoke up for myself, it was perceived as "hostile" or "aggressive". So I learned after that to be more assertive right off the bat. But still not to the degree I should have. I was still too often overly concerned with everybody "liking" me which is not really very helpful in the long run in a corporate setting. Listen to Wenzes. She is correct!🙂

    I worked full time for 4 years in the ICU at our local general hospital while studying law. I was a Unit Secretary/ Cardiac Monitor tech. I was on the lowest peg of the totem poll. When the student nurses were doing a semester in the unit,…they told the nurses that I made them nervous. Many thought I was in charge because the nurses were alway coming to me for things. I never could understand what was so intimidating about me.
    Also, as a semi- master of physical linguistics,AKA body language…I could always tell when a family member of a patient was going to pass out, and I would always catch them so they would not get seriously injured. It always baffled the Doctors and nurses that I could tell who was going to faint. To me it was so obvious.
    And…I was as cool as a cucumber under severe stress. Thousands of code blues took its toll on my health. Sadly I became severely ill due to the stress of so much life and death scenarios and the emotions of the families. I was very good at this, but it left me with poor health.

    It’s so weird to hear someone talk about how I am different with each person I interact with. I don’t think it’s inauthentic. I think I just share a different side of myself to different people. I’ve always said that people affect me like drugs…. I thought everyone was like that.

    Yeah Wenzes, it really sucks!! You act a certain way for a certain length of time that's fun and carefree and then the first time you get a little bit serious because somebody steps on your toes they freak the f*** out and think that you're not who you presented yourself to be. Even though you take everything you have to try to understand and accept who they are they don't seem to want to do the same. It's very frustrating. But you know that don't you? Much love!❤

    yes Ma'am... "to pretty much show who they are". We give them the time, we give them the platform, we encourage them to be exactly who they are, and we watch, and yes we judge, we make estimations, and we get to see exactly who they are. And then we deal with who they actually are. Not the facade. We don't like talking to facades. We see people seemingly happy to talk to facades and we just shake our heads. And the other thing... we stepping back is very intimidating.. I agree, it seems to be. But does that even make sense ? Why is this ? Why is this respect intimidating and making them nervous? Why would anyone be intimidated/nervous out of respect for them ? Or is there something deeper going on ? I think so.

    Only us INFJ's understand this video. I've been thinking about this a lot. So what are the options?
    1.Open up and intimidate others.
    2.Hide your capabilities (Dim your light)
    There is no third option 😮. 😊❤

      @R.S-1986 Рік тому +4

      @jasbadsirron6424 There's no halfway opening up, therefore balance does not exist in this particular. It's either you state you can read others or you don't, if you don't you chose the 2nd option. So I can only assume you meant balance between choosing one of the options. Indeed you do not need or have to open up to everyone.

You never react as others do, you seem not present and I do not know how to talk to you" LOL Needless to say she engaged all tools and methods in HR to make my work difficult, and then she fired me, not because I was not performing or communicating well, but because she could not stand me.

    Oh now it makes sense. I find people seem to enjoy trying to trigger me. The problem with this is i utilize those moments to tame my ego, so in effect they are helping me to remain in Homestasis.
    I myself as an INFJ do this with the knowledge that an inflated ego creates more drama. IMO; INFJ's dont purposly read people it just happens naturally and we seem able to see another's intention.
    INFJ's are mutable, we adjust to people and circumstances.
    We express alot of light due to always wanting to display our best selves however, we are exceptionally capable of displaying darkness if its necessary.
    My partner and friends have voiced they dont like my level of independance, they state it makes them feel i dont need them. Truth is if i have allowed people in my life its not because i need them, its because i want them, however, start having a pity party about it, ill walk away, i dont divuldge in negativity.
    Ive come to realise mist people dont like to be alone, one of my feiemds stated to me, i dont thibk you really like being alone 😂 this made me realise she doesnt know me at all, and she based this judgement on the fact she herself hates being alone so she cant understand how anyone can.
    It gets tiring trying to translate your soul, to the people who claim to be connected to you.
    Ive reached a point i dont need to explain myself anymore.

    It just now came to me, how many times at the end of a relationship, someone says, " you think "this" about me. (Example: you think I'm fat or you think I'm to bald, or you think I'm stupid because I'm not as smart as you, etc...) When I NEVER ONCE THOUGHT THAT ABOUT THEM. BUT I did see that, that was the insecurity they were terrified I would see. I saw it the very first or second time we talked. They saw in me that I saw it. Atleast that's what I thought, but what they interpreted is I thought they were fat, bald, or stupid, etc.. Not the case at all. Thank you Wenzes for getting me to see and understand this❣️

    I see them…. Thats exactly how I connect. How I can change my perceptions.
    They are so afraid. I want to laugh and cry at the same time.
    Is way too much to think about.
    This information causes sure a riff in my being feeling of causing destructive and guilt.
    Where I suffer so deeply their actual feelings the same.
    The emotional pain from their aggressive behaviour. The nastiness of thoughts thrown in your face.
    Reflecting then back with their own madness of angry resentment. I sadness compassion repent-full hate them love them hurt them all at the same time.
    I don’t want to be like them….or like me for this matter.
    50 of one… 50 of the other. No brainer I choose me.
    I am not suicidal. Making thus clear.
    I so much understand relating to INFJ.
    How is it possible to feel responsible for how other treat you because of internal thought patterns.
    They use there imagination to make sense of not knowing who you are. Maybe I do this and not be aware. I don’t know what’s real or not.
    This opens such complex thinking and connectioning of to many threads my mind is overwhelmed. Life has come so fucking complicated.
    My mind is discombobulated.
    I hate the place I’m in at this moment.
