THIS IS WHY THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU

[@Wenzes]

Have you ever fallen into the trap of constantly making space for others at your own expense?

[@Anna-t4q4s]

Yes. I am Christian INFJ. Once when I was reading the Bible in the morning, I heard inside my soul ,,You cannot sacrifice yourself for others. You are not Jesus. Stop pretending to be the god,,. So... the Lord stopped me from being a food for narcs. Sorry for the mistakes. I am not a native speaker.

[@rachaelmeager3907]

Yes! I'm in the transition period you described right now, so your video has helped and reassured me a lot.

[@David-eu1ms]

I start out giving my best, if that's not reciprocal I shift gears.

[@marlamayfield117]

I have been in this trap for most of my life. My survival approach growing up was to be good, stay out of trouble, be the peacemaker. I had a narcissistic father who focused his abuse on my mother (she "submitted to her husband as unto the lord"), and I had an out-of-control angry brother rebelling against everything. My brother became very abusive and dangerous. I moved 3,000 miles away when I got the chance at 21. But those coping skills came with me. I have been gradually improving because of my tenacious proclivity to figure things out and learn "why" but it has not been easy. Your videos have helped me SO MUCH! Thank You from the bottom of my heart. I have been trying to do exactly what you are saying in your video for the last couple months. But, I am having a hard time with my husband (married 35 years). We love each other, truly. But I don't know how to stand up for myself without someone getting angry. Either me or him. He is an INTP. I am handicapped when it comes to doing what you describe as making space for myself. I can't see myself, and I am too uptight about it. Even though I have been reading about healthy boundaries for over 20 years! LOL I just don't know how to do it without being defensive or angry. Sigh.. But, I am getting better. slowly. =) Thanks again.

[@denialdier]

I go too far.

[@Skylightwolkers]

I have an INFJ-t personality type and I have just started living authentically for some time now. I used to hide my identity because I didn't see who I was and why I saw the world the way I did and others didn't, and I was often heavily exploited. I am now fully empowered and I have finally learned to say no. My world has become easier, surprisingly. It's true that my group of friends has dropped to zero ✌️🤣 but I can finally breathe. I was short of air before. now I calmly choose my acquaintances and missions, which have become my whole world. I love my job and I develop internally even more. it's so important to finally look at yourself and not just save the world. because we won't save the world if we need help ourselves. and this way I can do something for myself and for the world 🤸 greetings to everyone and INFJ -s, we are very needed here on earth with our gifts. 🙏

[@jancuk8881]

Thank you for this. I'm an old INFJ and I got fed up with being an emotional sponge for people a while back, so I sought my space from them as they never really cared to ask about my problems, not that I ever wanted to share them with them anyway. Now my intuition and my endless thirst for knowledge frightens them anyway and I have little patience now with people who aren't curious about life and what we are. I guess I'm pretty much a hermit now and it's not a bad thing in my remaining years. I still emphasize with people, but don't get close to them, except for a couple of people I care about. I do put myself and my husband's welfare first now as I realised a long ago that forming friendships with people who just don't think as deeply or are materialistic, or jealous and who want to humiliate you is an exhausting waste of time. I even enjoy being introverted after all these years, happy to be my mostly quiet self without the need to seek the company of others.

Have consideration for yourself first cause people can drive you crazy if you let them, doesnt matter how good your intentions are.

[@2CER]

I lost myself for so long, i forgot what i wanted, and what made me happy. I always placed people before me, and my happiness and i was abused. When they couldn’t abuse me, they destroyed me. It took so long for me to find myself and choose myself, call me selfish but i need to do this for me. And after my mom died, i didn’t care who stayed or who left, with all the bad things they did to me. And now cutting people off is much faster. Since i choose me, i wont tolerate their BS anymore. Pain changes you. It made me more selective, putting more boundaries and distance.

[@kathieramos4905]

Yes, absolutely way too often. Started as a child the oldest of five to an unstable single mother. Actually she convinced me to drop out of high school so I could babysit my youngest siblings while our mom went back to college. That’s just one of so many things she conditioned me to do. Now, finally I can understand why I am the way I am but the best part is I am capable of change!! Embracing my INFJ Epic Life totally!!! Thank you, Wenzes for what you do!!!! 😊

[@lindateuling7862]

I was constantly being told to be "more outgoing" and less "self absorbed." And guess what. In the process I fell into the habits that you described in this video, and it was complicated by the fact that I was also trying to prove to myself that I wasn't self centered. This especially affected me when I was in college, which is probably why I developed a deep dislike for dorm life. What helped was taking the Myers Briggs test, finding out that I was an INFJ, and what being an introvert really was. I developed an "introverted friendliness " where I learned to take the initiative by greeting people in a welcoming, approachable way, and then letting "them"come to "me." I also kept busy with my many activities (being into art, language and music tends to provide a lot to do) and I then no longer communicated my need for them to validate me. Could I slip back into "hollowing myself out?" I don't think so, but I'll keep vigilant in my own self care.

We think it's an acceptance policy, but we quickly become doormats and they rub their dirty muddy boots all over us. I am no longer anyone's doormat. I chase everyone away who doesn't measure up to moral standards. And I've found an entirely new and unexpected family from sticking to my boundaries. It works. Let those that stress you out hate you. Let them believe you're their villain. They don't matter. They're not your real family or friends. You will find healthier people after you face your wilderness experience which reforms you.

[@sunshinesunflowerz1647]

This is where I'm at in my life. Choosing me, taking up space: something that I always wanted and envisioned.

[@themountainsandthesea4121]

Yes!🎉

[@ranc1977]

"We make space for ourselves. We demand this. I'm just going to take up that space. I'm going to be everything that I am. And yes, it will push people away. Yes, it will make people uncomfortable. But the right kind of people will stay." This is/was missing puzzle for me. Nobody explained it in this way until Wenzes. I heard this phrase a lot of time but I could not see it, it was in my blind spot. I was convinced that being myself is being for other people and taking their crap at my own expense. That was the missing part for me.

[@Stumpybear7640]

Old infj here. The number of people who can accept our love and care and not take advantage of our kind natures are very, very low. Most people use you, in your private life and at work. I am now super selective about who I let in to my life, and even then, not completely. Most people can't help taking advantage, it is as deep as they can go. I live with my cat. No people. I am content. ❤

[@aniokay]

I do it to a default. It is scary not to do it. Because you can read other people so easily, so it becomes almost unethical not to do anything about other peoples pain and self image. But it comes at the ecpence of ourselves. This insights is crucial for INFJs to realize if we want to live for ourselves and not everyone else. Thank you deeply for your work Wenzes. It makes a great difference. I sometimes get so invested in other peoples health that I forget to see the for what they are and not the projecting I have with them where I always give more and maybe mostly see my own work in the other person.

[@aniokay]

[@fabiolucianodasilvaluciano9984]

There was a time when I didn't allow myself to put myself first to dedicate myself to the people I loved and who didn't think twice about discarding me when I was no longer needed, now I live my essence and show them all my strength because I am Sigma INFJ and I am better than them at their own game.

[@michellieelizabeth]

OMG this is something I didn't know I needed to hear. Yes, I value being seen for who I am so much and never thought other ppl don't feel that as deeply. Great work, loved the vid. I've been seeing myself more and more lately and this reassures me I'm going in the right direction.

[@matthewsolidum3494]

Another default state I've been doing for years in a sense if im not careful I lose who I am as a person. In the end I never share parts of myself bc of the underlying fear of being rejected and judged. Lesson learned by make it a habit to take up space more often even if it's uncomfortable and we have every right to do it just like everybody else. Hands down, favorite podcast so far 😍🙌 Thanks wenzes! 🖤🖤

[@kevinyarusso326]

Good video Wenzes. Agreed, it is always best to ask for what you need in a relationship. There will always be people who claim they don’t know you if you don’t show what angers you. This is not true, we get to know people by discussing views. If the relationship is malevolent, they will push to know boundaries in order to intentionally cross them and trigger upset. I have further work to do in my interpersonal relationships. Sometimes the other party stands to gain much more with you gone than the value of the said friendship. First, if the story told has varied from the truth and paints the first party in a better light, there is little motivation to revisit and work to repair. Other times someone is upset that people like you and think it is unwarranted, so the goal is to paint you in a bad light through slander, stories and false dialogue. At a certain point, it is foolish to fight to be somewhere you are not wanted. Even if you had the skills to maintain the position, would it be satisfying? And at what price…

[@kevinyarusso326]

You can always make space..if they are the type to overstep that… you will see it, and their position in your life is gone. Their goal( for years) and eventually your goal too. Life goes on.

I don't understand how this advice plays out in real life. I would LOVE to have a guideline! My experience is that if I leave space for others, they are dismissive of me.

This shows up in weird places. I was asked to join a group at the movies. 1. I hate movies. I feel the emotions of the characters and sometimes it is just to much. It is not entertaining for me. 2. I need some time to myself, some down time. I also got some work to do. 3. Watching a movie in theaters makes my eyes hurt, water and swell and many times accompanied by a migraine. When I just flat out said no ( without considering my answer first), I was told I was being rude. I personally would prefer to have a tooth pulled than go to the movies.
