I don't really know how to put together a creative lead-in to this, so I'll get right to the point. A friend posted something on Facebook about a personal type so I googled 'personality types' and took a test. I understand that there could be a lot of room for error, but I ended up with INJF.
All of the descriptions I'm finding from all of these difference websites say the same thing, and while it's somewhat freeing to feel like there's an explanation or 'justification' for how a feel 99% of the time, it gives me slight anxiety as well. A part of me has always thought that I'll never be truly understood... by anyone. When I hear myself say that it makes me sad, but I don't know that I could (or would) ever change that. I think that's why I'm so obsessed with the lyric "We can be addicted to a certain kind of sadness."
I've included a few links below. It opens us up to understanding what rages inside of us, but at the same time it feeds into that thought and feeling that we'll never completely fit in or be understood. Do we have to be either one? Not necessarily, but it can get lonely and stressful, and it's always... internalized because there's that feeling that no one understands. How can I say that? Because I have tried.
