Opening up to the INFJ hidden in me (Sun in Cancer)

Sept 25 aft

Did my Jung typology test and just as I suspected I have changed or perhaps the true me finally unravel.
The last humanmetric test I did was 3 years ago I was ENTP, prior to that I was INTJ for many years. Alas now INFJ, a feeler, truly now Sun in Cancer, released from my Moon in Taurus.

No wonder such a difficult transformation; not used to feeling.

INFJ
Sometimes mistaken for extroverts because they appear so outgoing and are so genuinely  interested in people - a product of the Feeling function.

They have the most heightened empathic abilities. This empathy served as two-edged sword as it can be strong enough to cause discomfort or pain in negative or stressful situations. More explicit inner conflicts are also not uncommon in INFJs.

Soul
No wonder took me so long to unravel the dilemma over local Isha. I was so torn between the task and the friendship.

INFJ
With I and J combination, while perhaps enhancing self-awareness, may make it difficult for INFJs to articulate their deepest and most convulsed feelings.
Usually self-expression comes more easily to INFJs on paper, as they tend to have strong writing skills.

Soul
So true. That's why when handling conflict I prefer to write. Perhaps that's why I work well due to email communication.

INFJs
They often possess a strong personal charisma, generally well suited to the "inspirational" professions such as teachings (especially in higher educations) and religious leadership. Psychology and counselling are other obvious choices.
Writing, counseling, public service and even politics are areas where they find their niche.

Soul
No wonder others said I carried the role of Sathsang guide and Volunteer coordinator very well. It was just a facade. I take the role out of responsibility, out of care.

INFJ
In a way they are just as much "system builders" as are INTJs, the difference lies in that most INFJ "system" are founded on human beings and human values, rather than information and technology.

Soul
True.
I shift from INTJ to ENTP and now finally INFJ.
Just finished reading. All so true especially the explanation of me being so angry that I don't care.
About how my anger affect others.

About me cutting out info because I don't want to think anymore. This was me that day with L. I don't even serve to understand I just dismissed it.
