One of my other friends. He might also have the same INFJ traits spoke on his Sunday Morning live about doing a little suffering.. Oh boy I guess I will be doing a little stepping out of my comfort zone.
I practice "the hot pepper protocol" when a respiratory virus tries to invade. Hot peppers wake up the system and cause an immune response. I believe it shortens the invasion time.
In the same way talking to a stranger might do for my psyche. I would rather let the written word speak for me. I can edit that. But sfter all the edits it loses something. Polishing might add understanding but it leaves the receiver with a less interesting snapshot. I can't tell you how hard it is for me to be me in conversation. The urge to polish is overwhelming. I am almost frozen. A little suffering will thaw the psyche for sure. I encourage a little suffering. Go on shake in your shoes it is good for the sole.
A lifetime ago, MB pegged me as an ENFJ, but life has irrevocably changed me. If I could alter the test, I’d be an ANFJ. That is to say I’m ambivert. I have excellent people skills but I need a lot of alone time - in quiet and nature.
It will be interesting to track with your pushing yourself out of your comfort zone.
Thank you! I think the key is for us to not become a self-fulfilling prophecy, operating by the labels we receive. You have the self-awareness to know that you are more dynamic than the label. And I like the ANFJ! Thanks for sharing.
Eat some Hot Peppers 🌶.
