i feel highly sensitive but there´s also a toughness about me. i`m more tough than many in ways. i just additionally also feel more. i think there´s a kind of bravery, feeling so much, instant feeling that goes into the body, all these impressions that go into the body and are felt, a lot of pain sometimes, sometimes anguish, and the bravery to work on the good things with grit and anger about injustice, fighting inspite of pain. sensitive, hurting and strong.

but i do know dealing with inferior functions all to well and how they affect one. i think some call it ´´ the grip ´´ ? i know that all too well.

but mental illness, i don´t have any mental illnesses. i have weaknesses, that are sometimes also strengths. but am quite healthy mentally.

My INFJ boyfriend has become emotionally and mentally abusive. I know it comes from a place of fear, but it’s getting really bad between us.
How much is too much? How long do you stay sensitive to your SO’s needs when they start making you ashamed for being the person you are, or thinking the way you do, or using the wrong words, or ….. ?

Hey Bobbie,
Thanks for reading. Everybody has bad sides and good sides, nobody is perfect. Choosing to be with someone is to love them for who they are, both the good parts of them as well as the bad ones. Same as he will have to love every part of you if you choose to be together. The important aspect is that he is aware that he in hurting you behaving like that. All relationships have ups and down, that is all part of being together with somebody that is different from yourself. Make sure you talk it out and that you both do what you can to make both of you feel as comfortable as you can with each other.

My INFJ fiancé have found each other after being apart for 7 years due to things at that time didn’t allow us to be together. For 2 years he searched for me and finally found me in November. The side of him is what a true INFJ is and he’s made me feel nothing but loved and beautiful. Only the last 4 months I saw the “other side ” of him during what I have found out to be the Grip. He was critical , resentful ,selfish , and very insensitive to me in all aspects. He says sorry but during that Grip he can’t get past it After reading his personality and seeing “him” in all of these I want to stand by him because I know I’m the only person who has seen this side of him and not run off but in furture I won’t loose myself when he faces these stressors etc. my question is what can I do when this happens and what can he do to recognize it and control it

Maybe you are growing INFJ super powers ;) Considering how complex the brain is I’m sure a lot of strange things are possible. If you had a health checkup and everything is ok I would say you might experience some kind of ESP abilities. I read that these usually increase in intensity with age. INFJs are known to often have ESP. I for sure had many strange situations happen to me that I cannot explain. Like how I can finish other people’s sentences before they do, I somehow know sometimes what other people are thinking and feeling. It the talent that is the most precious to me but also comes with suffering since you can’t shut it off and sometimes I just soak up to much negativity from people.

Is it a certain very high stressed times over 5 years I noticed something strange. I reverse in the high stress reactions you posted. A few times it lasted only a few months. Right now I am on month 9, But after month 5, I have both !!!!!! Month 7, My brain is so over loaded with thoughts and memories that I can see and feel. I also have a thought place it aside while thinking of it and I can do anther one at the same time??? Can people do this? I am 48 years old and Male. At the same time 5 years ago, when I would rub my Wife’s back I started to feel little zaps. She would laugh I kid you not. The closer to her skin it felt incredible it was like Therapy for me…Even a slight touch I can feel it…Also can a very high stressed problem cause these to come out at my age? TY, You site is a wealth of information.

Good to see you back even if momentarily. I am a fellow INFJ, and oddly enough, a counselor, and yet I can at times question my own actions and emotions. I like how you put it though, being who we are can make us more vulnerable to our emotions but yet it’s our strength as well. I am learning to trust my intuition more and more and, yes, learn to let go of negative thoughts. Thanks for the insight. We are a rare species!
