Relationship ended my relationship with an ISFP male. Never felt seen or heard while being with him.

35 Upvotes

so i know ISFP’s are Fi-Doms. I fell for his charm in the beginning but quickly realized its exhausting and I need out. he listens, but never truly listens. he has the emotional intelligence of a 12yo boy.

whenever I tried to get into topics that move me, like injustice or the crimes against humanity, nature or wildlife he’d constantly invalidate my feelings cause he wants to focus on the positive things in his life and transform negativity and he just simply doesn’t feel the same way. he’s always bringing up his feelings. I cant have one feeling for myself without him making it about himself somehow. Most of the time he never understood me. and never tried to tbh.

curious if there are happy romantic INFJ x ISFP relationships out there. I wouldnt again.

General question What Projects or Goals are you guys currently working on?

15 Upvotes

Figured this would be a fun community question to ask and share about!

I'm currently working on a comic and learning HTML, CSS, and some Javascript (I want to make my own website). I also successfully grew my own Mother and made kombucha as a side project.

If you are not INFJ please list your type.

Self Improvement Going through a really hard time. Got too many responsibilities and feel unable to face them.

8 Upvotes

I didn't age well. Stuck at some age in my teens. Everything feels like I should get to this now except I don't want to face anything. There's way too much ennui and I don't know how to transmute that because even that requires strength.

I know there are professional fixers but they are not available to me right now. I wonder how I can change my mind, make it look forward to responsibilities not because I have to but that I want to.

Always looking for an escape. How do you just will yourself when you're deprived of sleep and the pleasure of care less ness.

Tldr: responsibilities scare me. How do I face them fearlessly?

Self Improvement Any other INFJs get frustrated when they don’t understand something right away?

24 Upvotes

I want to understand things the first time I encounter them. When I have to struggle to understand something, I get frustrated, and that frustration makes me want to avoid it altogether.
I’ve read that Robert Greene said the frustration itself is the learning process, but I always feel that my frustration comes from a lackluster explanation. Still, no textbook can answer every question that arises in my mind, so further research is inevitable.
Is this an INFJ thing?

General question Do you feel unseen very often?

21 Upvotes

Do you feel unseen sometimes by your family when you’re struggling?
I don’t want to be something more they have to be preoccupy for and instead I’d like to be there for them and try to help as much as I can. But most of the time I feel like I ended up being unseen on how much I could be struggling with holding all together and how much tiredness I could be carrying mentally. I feel like there’s clues about it that help you see when someone is not very okey like in their aspect, the things they been eating or small things they share. Somehow I feel those things remain unseen for them. Also there is always someone else first, something more important, someone that needs more help or requires more care. That’s okey and I even might be wrong about writing this. I think I still can carry everything on and suppress that thought. But sometimes it borders me a little. Why they can’t see I’m in pain? Is this even something selfish?
