I'm sure you have all heard of "delayed gratification"- the ability to delay or wait and not do something even though you really want it. Instead of giving yourself immediate gratification- for instance eating a really yummy dessert, you push it off and don't eat sweets at least say till you loose those 20 pounds.
BTW I hope I "catergorized" myself right, as an enfj, but I might be an infj, I am not totaly sure.
The thing is, I just feel that i have this trait a little too much, and sometimes it keeps me from being happy because I feel I have to delay what I want and must do what is for the "greater good"... All the time.
I wonder if this is true for other enfjs or if other types feel this way as well.
Also wondering what types feel they don't have enough of this, and struggle with it.
It is considered to be a blessed trait, but too much of anything I don't think is ever good.
Waiting to hear some comments, thoughts on the subject.
