INFJs’ Auxiliary Function: Extraverted Feeling (Fe)
INFJs’ Fe can present differently among strangers than it does with their intimates. In larger groups, INFJs may seem consistently cheery as part of their attempt to cultivate good feelings. Many INFJs have a good sense of humor and can be funny and engaging. Enlisting their vivid imaginations and knack for metaphor, they can also make good storytellers.

In the company of close confidants, however, INFJs use their Fe to be more open and direct with their grievances. Since some INFJs feel like tortured souls, their commentary may take on a characteristically negative tone. They may seem moody, pessimistic, discontented, or restless. They can also seem fairly intense in their communication when infused with the emotion of Fe.
Consequently, their expressions can seem exaggerated, dramatic, or irrational, especially to Thinking types. They differ in this respect from INFPs, who are less disposed to melodrama in their verbiage.

INFJs can also be susceptible to self-pity and self-loathing, seeing themselves as victims. They may curse the fact that life isn’t fair, feeling that they always end up with the short end of the stick.
For INFJs, expressing themselves through their Fe is critical to their psychological and physical health and well-being. Even if doing so does not provide them with immediate solutions to the problem at hand, they tend to feel better once they have expressed their feelings, whether through words or tears. This is especially important for the mates or friends of INFJs to recognize.

this is absolutely true.
Others thinks I m absolute joyful during volunteering, whereas I am just playing a role, being responsible.
Since I was masquerading as a Thinker, I can't even allow myself to express. I don't even know how to express. Even when I was heartbroken with Z, no one knows.
With Y, at least it shows a bit.
No wonder RA occurs.
No wonder I can't even cry beyond a few drop of tears no matter how sad I am.
I even blame myself for feeling sad.

While not necessarily looking for others to solve their problems, INFJs value emotional support, empathy, and reassurance. Without such an outlet, INFJs can begin to feel isolated and depressed, turning to their inner fantasy world as a means of escape. And while fantasizing may seem helpful in the short-term, it can make the real world seem even less tolerable and exacerbate existing frustrations toward life.

Luckily I found Isha and Sadhguru or rather he 'called' to me.
Yes, that's why my Shrine with Devi and Dhynalinga is such a consolation to me. Only with them, I can open up and be my vulnerable self. Only with them I feel such contentment, such love.
And with Sadhguru's sannidhi, I just feel so at Home, nothing more to do. I am safe at Home. I felt so loved. Amen.

INFJs can be warm, welcoming, loyal, giving, and self-sacrificing. At the same time, as Introverts, they need time to themselves to recharge their proverbial batteries. This creates an ongoing, even lifelong, struggle for INFJs, trying to balance their own needs and desires with those of others.

So true..thats why I burnt out in leading local Isha.
Not only having to deal with so many 'protocols' and details, also taking up my alone time.
Now that I am out of local Isha, it is such a bliss.
Can fully enjoy my off days. Amen
