Hi there, I completely understand where you're coming from. It does screw with my head to think that my Fi is betraying my opportunities for growth. I can be very fickle sometimes, much to the frustration of others and myself when I finally get perspective on my actions. Definitely something I still have to work on too. Great video :)
So much of what you say resonates with me, especially the hard college courses stuff. I also have a tendency to give up too quickly and make decisions based on feelings of frustration instead of like you say, my original feelings and ideas about why I started something in the first place. Have you heard of Cal Newport's book So Good They Can't Ignore You? You might want to check it out. Cal is really big on the point you made that sometimes you have to be good at something before you love it.
I relate to this...I tend to give up on things pretty easy if I find them hard but its because I don't think life is suppose to be a miserable endeavor---found myself 'forcing' myself too much to do things that are not me...I find it better to work harder at things I already am naturally drawn to and enjoy rather than try to conquer something that is foreign to me..as it is likely I will never truly be accomplished at said task but mediocre.
@5.28 I felt really connected... sometimes the wrong decisions you make guided by your feeling... I hated wasting my feelings for a wrong crush I had... after some time when I got over my feelings... I felt stupid how I let myself guided by emotions.. I could have got some better grade than wasting my time crying over something not meant for me...
I've had the same feeling when realizing I'm not interested in a particular course, but my reaction to my inclination to drop the course differs from yours. When considering whether I should drop the course I consider whether I may ever use the information being taught that I'm not particularly interested in sometime in the future. It sounds like you considered the disciplinary aspect of "getting used to" doing something you're not interested in, a situation that will inevitably reoccur later in life. But wouldn't you later in life do whatever your career requires of you even though you may not be interested in the particular task regardless of whether you torcher yourself now by taking a course you don't like in college for which you may waist time learning information that you'll never even put to use? In other words work has a purpose regardless of whether you are passionate about what you're doing. College on the other hand at least in this country has become in large part a vast welfare racket, something I never wanted to take part in. A lot of the mandated courses are unnecessary. I would feel much worse forcing myself to do something that is a waist of time, energy, and money and supporting what I refer to as the Academic Welfare Racket, a system I strongly oppose. Not to mention it is a primary goal of mine to find work in life for which I can avoid doing anything that bores me so why surrender to such now? I think the difference between us could be at least partially explained by our difference in type- INTP/INFP.
Girltoxx, I related with absolutely everything you said in this video and the other one about INFP. I also am an INFP and was premed. I'm going through some of the problems you highlighted in your last video and I would really love to talk with you about them. Please, contact me if you get the chance.
I am an infp ...unable to sleep tonight.. ...glad that I stumbled upon this video

I'm an INFP as well by the way.
