I'm going to borrow skylight's recent quote from her blog to start this thread:
I know this is one typical ENFPs trait, their endless optimism (which I strongly admire) and the ability to re-bounce themselves--being true inspirers they are well-known for.
Though I'm wondering if this happens to most xNFPs or ENFxs? Because for me to gather up myself after distressful moments, I need people around me to encourage me and cheering me up. I wish I can do that alone and be a self-therapist. I also wonder if other INFJs have the ability to heal themselves just through the power of thinking (as what skylights has illustrated).
Nevertheless, this is certainly an area which I would like to develop myself. And I'm just wondering about how NFs feel about this?
i am feeling JOY. i have been hypo-depressed and seeing everything in 50% desaturation for the last year and a couple months but yesterday morning i was doing some mundane task at work and all of a sudden this warm bright little glow feeling came up from inside me and it was ease and joy and contentment and it encircled me in a little halo of happiness and i hummed a little song and i still dislike my job and i still want more out of life and i still have some things that need taking care of but i don't have to know everything and i don't have to have a whole life plan set out and i don't have to figure out what i want right now i can just feel and move and be happy. or i can lay in my bed and feel the breeze through the window and be relaxed and happy like i have this morning! no guilt and no self-applied pressure and no despair. just light and happiness and peace. i know i've been on the upswing lately but i have no idea why this happened when it did... but regardless, i am grateful!!
