The INFP Personality Type

[@maboleth]

If only my girlfriend to-be allowed me to help and assist on her journey of surviving corrosive past relationship. Instead, she just gave up at the finish line. If you are not surrounded by people that appreciate INFPs unique abilities, all goes down the drain fast.

Because of narcissistic abuse, I can't achieve my full potential as an INFP.

I just went through this. It's heartbreaking how disconnected the two types are.

Yes, I was exploited by my parents since childhood because my parents knew I wouldn't reject them, and now when I'm a teenager and my family is facing economic problems they blame me for not being firm. They have also always told other people about my mistakes in front of me and made me a shy person. I ended up having difficulty at school because I was too shy and it was difficult to be anywhere, whether in class or in other places that were quite crowded. I also have difficulty studying something with a teacher because I'm afraid of making mistakes that embarrass myself. It gets worse because I am quite sensitive to the people around me so it becomes easier for me to understand their judgments and makes me even more afraid of facing them. My parents kept blaming me for being a coward, whereas every time I wanted to change I always failed because I couldn't refuse my parents as if they knew how to control me.

You have a victim mentality. You CAN fulfill your potential. You can use your abuse as a way to elevate yourself, learn, overcome, and grow. Saying, "I can't achieve my potential" is a defeated lie. You can achieve your potential and you must start by realizing you are responsible for everything in your life. You were abused because you did not set and enforce boundaries. Sometimes, we have to go through absolute hell to learn the lessons we need to make us stronger. You are much stronger than anything that comes against you. You have been through a lot and you have a high tolerance for pain due to your childhood. By meeting and having a relationship with a narcissist, you were forced to stand up for yourself when you normally would not have. You were forced to care for yourself when you normally would not have. If you look, it was a gift and a learning opportunity for you. You can now establish boundaries and learn to give yourself what you were expecting others to give you - love, respect, etc... Start by meditation and you will learn self love, self respect and you will come out of this much stronger, happier, and more fulfilled than you ever thought possible. You are not a victim. Stop saying you can't reach your potential or you will create a self fulfilling prophecy. You know this is not true. You know this is not who you are. You are amazing and you are a gift to the world. Stop seeing yourself as a victim and make everything you have been through your fault. Your fault for allowing it all. This gives you power and this will help you realize that you can do something about it. You are in control. You can never allow it to happen to you again. It is not your fault as in blaming you. It is just your fault because if it is not, you are powerless. If it is not your fault, then someone else is to blame which makes you powerless. The blame game is the easiest game to play but there is no upside at all. Take responsibility and learn from your mistakes. You will grow and become better off for it all. Love to you!!!!!!!
