Living Wrong as an INFJ? Signs Your Lifestyle Needs a Change

[@JazzedatHome]

"You feel very lonely when you're with a group of people that don't get you." Yeah. Like my family. Ugh. :P I particularly appreciate what you said here about self-worth. That is such a big issue for many of us. Anyhoo, thanks for another insightful video, Trina. Blessings! - Claire

I hope it was helpful, thank you so much for watching. Self-worth was a huge one for me, I thought I was so worthless that if someone bought me a present the guilt if felt was overwhelming because I truly believed that they felt they wasted hard earned money on someone who wasn't worth a penny.

@@trinabrettnell You're welcome and it was definitely helpful. Thank you. I'm sorry re: the self-worth stuff. That sounds really painful. You've been able to turn things around, though, right? What has helped with that? If you're up for it, I'd love to see a video just on self-worth and that's something I'd definitely consider posting on my blog, because it's such a big issue for so many of us healers/lightworkers/INFJ''s/sensitives.

@JazzedatHome I did turn things around, yes, it took me years of steady work but lots was trial and error. I have been thinking of doing videos just around self-worth, it's a huge topic and impacts us in so many ways that often we don't even realize that's the deep rooted issue.

[@JazzedatHome]

@@trinabrettnell That's good that you were able to turn things around. I've been working on it, pretty steadily, as well, but hit hit another layer. I agree that it is at the root of many many issues and it keeps coming up in my own healing journey and research for my business.

My group gets me. Im sensuous, caring and loving.

Do you equate “societal expectations” with “urban social norms?” It seems like rural living offers a less stimulating environment with more opportunities for deep connections

[@trinabrettnell]

That's an interesting thought. I do feel it's easier on a sensory level to live in rural areas....usually less people, less noise, less everything else. But I think the main stream societal expectations are still very similar and we still push ourselves to meet those expectations even when they just don't feel right for us.

Thank you Trina! Every time I watch your videos I say yes, yes, yes…😂 I can so relate!

[@trinabrettnell]

I'm so glad! I know how good it feels to be able to truly relate to someone else, feels less alone.

Thank you for this, Trina! May I ask how you found out you are autistic? I have taken many tests and along with being an INFJ, I score quite high as autistic as well as ADHD! I’ve not been formally diagnosed tho. I don’t have health insurance and can’t abide doctor’s offices and our health care system in general- I’m in the US. I struggle all the time with finding what it is that I’m supposed to be doing and when i find something that thrills my soul, i become overwhelmed with it after a while, which is so frustrating!! I’m learning, slowly, to not feel guilty about taking time to be alone for as long as I need. Your video def makes me feel better about this. 😊

[@trinabrettnell]

Hello, Thank you for watching. I found out I was autistic when my son was being assessed. I suspected for years that I was but I was always too scared to go get assessed. But honestly, I don't think a formal diagnosis is important, I think what is important to follow what resonates with you because you are the only one who knows how you truly feel. So if you resonate with ASD and ADHD then learn about them both and learn ways around challenges. I am in Canada and a formal diagnosis for an adult is so expensive and is at a minimum a 2 year wait list before one can even start. In 2 years we could learn an awful lot about something that resonates with us and can be well on our way to having that life we desire ❤️ Thank you for watching, I appreciate it

[@Christinereneetaylor]

@@trinabrettnell Hi Trina, thank you very much for your response. I have done lots research and digging for answers in both realms of ASD and ADHD but it helps to have confirmation that what one is actually feeling can just be the gospel truth for oneself. I appreciate the work that you do and look forward to seeing your videos pop in my feed. All best to you!

14:38 I learned as a kid the news is NOT for me; it's designed to get views by fear mongering and it's distorted. Now; that's what most of social media is too- and surprisingly; I see normal people all anxious because they don't know the engineering that's involved and their responses are by predatory design. It sucks when I see more 'normal' people falling into 'not normal' camps with that stuff. But yea; the news is like...almost as bad as porn or something; actually no- at least porn doesn't hide what it is HAHA. (sorry for that example it was the easiest way to contrast the manipulation involved in news and social media and the negative impact it has on everyone)

[@MayvenFunk]

Im extroverted. Love to talk to diverse, interesting people. Love to express my sensuous sides publicly

[@ResoluteRonin]

Im an INFJ that has been in isolation since 2019
