Hello everyone
So my life has been in somewhat of an emotional roller coaster the past year or so. The good news is that I have found my self-worth (worked at a Mcdonalds inside of a Walmart, got stuck there and felt so worthless) but now I'm out and have found a much better job that's far more fulfilling as well as a renewed interest in my martial arts. The problem I'm facing now, is that when I see other people around me getting attention, I feel as though no one notices or even cares that I'm around. At my new job, which is in another restaurant, people speak quite bluntly and with little regard for emotions, a trial by fire of sorts. I am becoming super sensitive to other peoples stress all the while I have this 'look at me' syndrome going on. Today, I apologized to my boss for doing a lousy job at work, because my boss was acting all down and irritable. He responded with almost disbelief saying 'What are you talking about, you did great today bro.'
In another instance, also today I was in my martial arts class. There was me and another student. He has been there for a couple months while I have been there a few weeks. The teacher spent the greater deal of time with the other student while only occasionally checking up on me. I felt jealous and neglected, until I was able to look at it through hindsight and realized I was just being silly and overemotional, that its normal for someone who is more advanced to get more in-depth training.
I'm sorry if I'm rambling a bit. But has any other INFP's had similar situations happen to them? Personally I was feeling really great before about a week ago. It's almost as if I was walking around, full of the self-confidence I have been trying to build since puberty, but no one notices or even really cares (or at least that's how I perceive it). Do I just have a big head? I kinda remember feeling this way as an isolated, awkward teenager.
Thank you for you time and help
