I don’t know how you do it but you really express the mess I feel when trying to implement a plan or a project… never stop posting your videos…. You’re pretty good… I’ve missed you !
This makes so much sense. Relative to taking action, what immediately came to mind for me is overthinking. I might receive a flood of ideas, but which of these actions should I take first? So the loop continues... Now I have this external reminder that it doesn't really matter, because any action taken will create a positive feedback loop.
This was VERY helpful. Thank you. Exactly what happens here. A way forward! 🙏 {{{yay!}}} Now, I'm seeing consciously looping Ni and Se rather than (unconsciously) looping Ni and Ti! I always feel so seen by you in your offerings .... what a blessing! 🌺🌼🌺
This is very comforting. It's almost impossible for me to relate to someone or for someone to truly understand me even the closet people in my life (which is something I've struggled with since I was young, always sough and never found, now I decided to just give up to the bitter reality and get comfortable with never truly bonding with no one) , and I feel very seen and understood!! Brilliant work, thank you
Definitely appreciate how you laid this out for people. As an Ni-dom I always struggled with people understanding (or misunderstanding) that "gist". I remember at work being in a meeting with a bunch of Si-users (INFP, ENFP, ISFJ, and ENTP) and having them go through excruciating detail and breakdowns and way off Ne interpreting (or caution to interpret) of cases we were processing. In the first 10-15 minutes of the meeting I'd be able to sum up, interpret and deliver a conclusion as to the overarching patterns and where to move forward... they'd ignore me or just branch off what I say only to circle details over and over again in microscopic view to arrive 45 minutes later at my same conclusion. It was like watching the circus... and not to be condescending but I notice a lot of Si- Fi- and Ti- doms can be very impatient with our Ni and Se- or Ne- doms can ignore or just dismiss our Ni. It's condescending in its own way to always fight for air space so it's very common to just not want to participate or say anything at all. But I do struggle to turn my dreams or visions into reality. I've been chipping away at my dream for decades. My Se-dom sister literally spends that time using drugs and f-ing off only to get on the fast track to a vocation and be in her career making tons of money. Me... I'm still here with my vision trying to figure out when to jump in like a rigged game of Life. I'm stuck and my solution is to read books about being stuck and getting unstuck 😂 only to be stuck some more. For a while I was able to plot my life, move towards it and avoid potholes but the stuckness mostly lies in sensory (Se/Si). So opening a business... but the actual physical part of opening a business. So what if after building momentum it ends up in a dead end... not necessarily by internal forces but external forces that stops it? Then what? Every time I have to go back to the drawing board and start from scratch I lose a little hope.
I get what you mean. In terms of what if it doesn’t even eventuate into anything. I think the thing is that you’re not living inside of the “sense” of being limited, know? It’s like, whatever it turns into - at least I’m fucking making the moves I need and not succumbing to what might limit me along the way. Ownership. Appreciate your self awareness and thanks you for tuning in!
@@Nathanelder.expressthis Thank you for your reply. I appreciate your videos! Agree on the "what if it doesn't eventuate into anything"... we put a lot of time and energy into the things we strive to complete... I'd say we are some of the most seriously "workaholic" of types as obsessive goal markers so it is very easy to see where things might not pan out and decide not to invest... but we do lose out and action is the fastest way to participate in living even if it doesn't necessarily serve our purpose. ALL THINGS and efforts can't just "serve a purpose" and I'm getting back there... slowly but surely.
From my point of view, Ni is about vibrations each idea has, and these vibrations make a certain type of magnetism, which is responsibile for deciding where is the place of the thing in the memory. Then things with a similar magnetism are close to each other (in the memory) and they are associated with each other. And it is the structure of the thing which determines the vibrations. And here is the thing. When a thing from INFJ mind has to be born, certain vibrations are necessary, the thing had to be called out by its true name. Here the true name means the name when called brings the vibrations that are needed so that the thing can be translated from the abstract world into the real one. When the true name is found, one need to find a time and focus and then to repeat calling the name (in a certain sense) to that the energy can be transformed into the vibrations (full of energy) that can help make the thing happen. I guess that the focus and practicing "calling the right name" is the thing missing, and may be INFJ just are just waiting until it comes to them naturally (or they focus more on finding the right word or ensuring that the word is the one).
thank you. i just want to know how you're able to dissect INFJs as well as you do while not being one. as an INFJ i find im always the one reading between the lines when i'm around people and they never understand me. not only do you understand INFJ's but you're able to communicate and diagnose where our weak points are to help improve in those areas. it makes me feel understood.
Brilliant! You are correct, yet the constant failure in actualizing something in the extraverted world can make it difficult to imagine succeeding at times. Yet it really is the actualizing that is the real struggle!
Dear, Expressthis (and to anyone who it may concern) Hi again, (sorry for the long message) I just wanted to say that, as an INFJ, this video was very insightful. I definitely struggle with the transition from "introverted thinking" onto reality. Im so good at imagining realities within my head. All of which, align with the desire dependent upon the focus of the imagination. Unfortunately, I have a hard time taking effective action or correct and ideal action in making those realities and desires flesh. Especially when it comes to figuring out what I (really) want to do after school. Im a junior in a 5 year architecture program and I know the (exact) essence of what I want for myself. But I haven't taken the time to flesh out and focus on the true underlying essence and qualities of those fantasies of my future. But as you said...("performance anxiety"). This is just one of my "ruts" haha! Now I know though, because of you, to take those qualities from the fantasies that I have of my future, focus on them and act on them as a start. thanks so much.
Exactly! the frustration of not being able to translate the intuitions into the physical realm as quickly as they are appearing in my consciousness is just a process that i don't like to deal with, its like i have to activate two things in my brain and the purity of the intuition gets lost in translation due to the cumbersome physical aspects involved. But there are times I have experienced flow in my works and that is where the magic happens for us.
