INFJ Sensitivity | Kahuna Wisdom

[@barryx23]

Amy, you should post more often since you have great things to say. I can see and feel the sensitivity in your eyes and facial expressions, and how it's not that easy for you to get the things across that are in your mind. Sometimes we INFJs have such great thoughts and ideas but actually getting them out there in the real world is the battle that we have to win but often don't. Too much of what we should say stays unsaid, which is a pity. What you say is worth the effort, so let's hear more from you when you have the time and energy to post it. You're making a difference, believe me!

[@amy-lyne]

Thank you for your words 💛 am hoping to make this more of a regular thing here soon. INFJ need these healthy outlets, its true

[@jenthang]

Thank you for this, Amy. I know all too well how it feels to be extra sensitive, e.g., when I went to the movie theater with my bf to see Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and the Jedi training scene came on where Rey is sitting cross-legged and levitating with rocks in the forest, for some reason I still don't understand I started crying uncontrollably at the sight of it. Of course, no one else in the theater was doing the same. I'm just glad my bf had gotten some napkins with his popcorn. This happens so often and it's embarrassing and confusing to me--but I guess not so weird if you're an INFJ.

[@amy-lyne]

@jenthang this comment made me smile haha I weirdly got emotional watching star wars too 🙃. Thanks for your comment 💛

The scene of her using the force and feeling it really connected with me, I've always felt a connection to reality to all the matter in existence a kinesthetics attuned to the vibrations of atoms so clearly in my mind just the thought feels overwhelming since I think if it was ever real that moment is closest I've been to such a manifestation.

Hey, I'm also an INFJ software engineer. I think what made me gravitate to application development was because of how efficient data is, so you get really granular in the control of things. I do these meditations on Sundays at 430am down by our local river and I'm not really exactly sure what's going on in them but it's like I'm conversing with my higher self, sometimes I can even like push it to the "highest self" and get insight and action items. It's constantly giving me ideas on applications to build that help capture a persons emotions in the moment within an application. I think there is a systematic relationship between the spectrum of emotions we feel and the driving force of creative energy within the universe. So, if you can begin to identify what emotions are being experienced within any moment, you can almost put a number/metric/gauge/visibility to how the platform interaction is aligning with the universe. I think INFJ folks might gravitate toward counseling because that is basically adjusting the programming within a persons psyche. I don't think I'll be a software engineer forever because I feel like there is a way to help people at a more efficient level but that pathway hasn't been revealed yet. ✌️

[@amy-lyne]

@Dr.Holliday I enjoyed reading this comment 🙂 I can tell you are an engineer by the way you write. I've been experiencing similar things. I think I would have loved studying psychology or social studies in college. I had always wanted to be a writer. I'm thankful for this path, too, though, but also don't believe I will be in it forever.

I really like the idea of the 'stickiness' the Unihipili mind has! It reminds me of a story my high school Hawaiian language teacher told us about the Ali'i feather capes at the Bishop Museum in Honolulu. Back in the day, the Ali'i (chiefs) would permit skilled bird catchers to collect feathers from the islands most sacred birds, but they weren't allowed to hurt them. So the catchers developed a method of coating certain trees with a sticky resin, and baited the birds to land on those trees. The birds would get stuck, and a catcher would carefully pluck off a tiny bit of their most vibrant feathers, then release them. It took thousands of birds and years of collecting and weaving to make a single cloak. I feel like that's how some of the most fascinating ideas develop, through years of weaving together tiny vibrant concepts refined from the many fascinations that subconsciously get stuck onto our mind.

[@amy-lyne]

@TheAnonymousHippopotamus Your ideas are always so beautifully woven together. Thank you for this, Anthony. Happy to have a native Hawaiian here in the comment section to teach us a little more insight on this topic 🦋

Good to see your back! A downfall of us is we like to do it all ourselves. And while we can usually, seeking others that help your weaknesses is such a great strength.

[@dalekurita1075]

Sensitive is very important to talk about and thank you for sharing.. I have, been Sensitive since childhood but have only talked about late in life .... The sharing of the Hawaiian point of view is wonderful to hear about since my Dad is from Maui.. I am also an engineer! I was often shamed for crying at movies and having only brothers made life worse for me.. Asian family do not seek mental health providers.. ..male culture is not the best for sensitive people

[@solgast]

I feel that it is only a natural path seeing INFJs going into engineering also. Bridging dreams to reality through engineering while traveling through the emotional and in depth planes of existence with its many reflections. With this path I can see how INFJs also become more keen into applying their experiences and gathered wisdom in more areas of life. Because as you mentioned in your latest video also, much I hear is from and out of love, but also having both perspectives of duality and yet having a detached and more philosophical view point on things. That sounds like a great combination to have in engineering and other parts of life that might seem very rigid at first or have been seen as too rigid during the industrialism. Natural engineers with a dynamic balance of what you describe just sounds like the next step to maintain a more healthy balance for our planet at large. Keep creating and do what makes you happy. Nurture your nurturing environment and watch those dreams blossom. Wish you all the best and good vibes to you Amy!

I resonate to what you’ve said. Close family and friends, I am able to predict what they will say next. I too am in Technology and can deliver what is wanted.

[@R.CHIZ.Gaming]

Oh Amy... You're so precious! I appreciate you and always will! This resonates and is inspiring! As I am also embarking on my creative journey, as scared as I am.

INFJ here. I also studied computer science and work as a solution architect because I enjoy helping customers. UX is something that I have also always considered.

[@amy-lyne]

@MaxMonsterGaming I think we can be very good designers because of how precise our Intuition can be. I think it's a good career route 👌

Ab"soul"utely concur. Unfortunately, I grew up in an unsupportive environment where I felt I didn't belong in a world of monsters, and often, I'd wish to wake from this nightmare. Then, I knew I was different as I was reminded by others how weird I was. Because then, I made the mistake of sharing oddities that I assumed were natural for everyone else. Most of my life was a mystery to me until roughly 7 years back, I came across a personality test, and I was shocked after repeatedly taking the test. I had to watch my emotions as certain songs, movies, sentimental moments, and personal past reflections would have me in tears. And the kind of people I hung with; as the only people who didn't mind being seen with me, saw it as a sign A weakness. I learned then that I wasn't cut out to be a criminal as my consciousness wasn't having any of it. How crazy I must've looked then arguing with myself over why it wasn't right to go ahead and do something wrong because others find no qualms. Mysteries, then, were times my intuition looked out for me. Stepping into a crowded room and being overwhelmed by the atmospheric mood. Keen on the potential of others, whether good or bad, and by degrees. My lack of a childhood was a nightmare up until I hitched out of state at 17 from Ohio to Florida and from there to California. Then, to Arizona and back around to Ohio. And now Alabama. I wished I had known then, but then was the whole point of moving about to find what I've come to know has taught me great more about myself as opposed to stagnating with no answers and hanging with people who'd call themselves friends. I've been living on an island of self for the past 12 years, and I am to say I've found peace that I didn't know I needed soul badly then. I've been able to piece myself back together, and oddly enough, I'm thankful for the hell I've gone through. I appreciate heaven all the more and am grateful for whatever happiness happens to me. I live by this as I won't ever allow that ill-fated world the satisfaction of devouring my heart. Come time to render a soul's testimony, my heart will be seen clearly intact.

[@amy-lyne]

@brianhales1416 thank you for sharing 💛 this comment had a nice hopeful tone. Sensitivity is a gift

[@indigomosquitospeedos]

kinda sucks yet ironically funny how the superpower concepts of radical compassion and gratitude tend to get beat into us the hard way . but what doesn't completely kill us is supposed to make us stronger through thickening layers of scar tissue ... so there's still sort of a reason to hope it doesn't harden our heart too much to feel anything at all anymore. anyhow, guess we gotta thank all those unconscious adversaries for triggering us into whoever we'll hopefully eventually become ! "a heart that hurts --- is a heart that works " check out Juliana Hatfield song called : Universal Heartbeat . . .

[@brianhales1416]

"What a trip, I'm better for it" "I feel a live sensation" Thank you for a song I may have not heard otherwise.

Wow, I'm also an INFJ, I bet you saw my ramblings when I was in the spotlight. I like to write and communicate too and certainly can come off as firm or cold. Thank you for sharing and it's awesome you had the courage to change careers and post here. You'd be a person it would be a pleasure to know...I think. Good luck dear.

[@MysticTreeStone]

Empathy sensitivity and for me I came across kinesthetics and I did hear about kinesthetics when I was younger, I'm adhd and autistic I feel, so kinesthetics slipt my mind till recently again, I grew up being athletic yet couldn't be around others cause I felt there emotions especially through physical contact, of course it was dismissed as fictional imagination, nowadays I'm on whatever life path spirit guides led me down being INFJ a sigma maybe even Heyoka and others I honestly just take life one step at a time especially now my health has been declining in recent years. The sensitivity as you describe it is accurately me as well left a job from manager bullying cling to me till the next shift, I wonder if I'll meet someone that can connect with on a sensitive level haven't been able to truly let loose and express myself whole. I like science history geography the arts, your art and editing is spot on very jazzy and smooth, I appreciate you and your channel, great minds think alike, looking forward to more of your videos.

[@agent_exodus]

Thank you for sharing these things, Amy. It brings a relatability that I don’t always know how to convey especially being a bit.. “eccentric”. I’ve equated the kind of sensitivity interface to the force in Star Wars, sort of… and try to explain but… as you’ve said, many don’t seem to have this or understand. I’ve tried to find other like minds and safe connections which has been helpful. But… not many. Not quite 🙃 I have a trauma based background so it’s taken a fair amount of safer connections to get more acclimatized, in a manner of speaking, after a lot of that. Anyway, thank you for sharing 🙏

Is it common to be sensitive to noise? My Bose noice cancelling headphones are always near. I am getting new tires and find the environment a bit overwhelming. I spend most of my free time in the woods. It’s the only place I feel safe. Home is nice but I married a Covert Narc so I am always home is a challenge.

[@amy-lyne]

@@TheBucklandgrp Yes, I hear it's very difficult for more sensitive personalities to live in cities due to the noise
