Greetings to my fellow INFJs. Yes, I am a n00b... try not to hold that against me
Does anyone else ever get the statement from people...say, people with zero capacity for empathy...that you, as an INFJ, are supposed to have empathy so therefore, you're supposed to understand and provide the "oh, i'm so sorry!" response?
I get this frequently and it drives me insane. Yes, I understand the feelings. I understand why those feelings are there; however, that does not preclude my feeling as if said person is also an ass. Just because I get the "why" behind the feeling doesn't mean i'm inclined to provide the "poor baby, let me kiss your booboo" response.
ok, so I might not a huge feeler. *cough*
Anyone else have this issue? Or get where i'm coming from? I mean you guys are supposed to be empathetic, right??
