that ^^^^ is a great point, jivinjeffjones. i think most N introverts (especially infp, infj, and intp), tho, do feel this pressure. enneagram 4 and enneagram 5 only puts more and more pressure on this, bc you spend so much time being self-absorbed and using up resources just to understand yourself. your project is totally irrelevant to most people unless it becomes perfect and completed, or unless you find yourself channeling it in a different way.
at the same time, i consistently find your posts, orangeappleds posts, and udogs post to be insightful and show many meaningful things that others just don't see. just bc you feel unappreciated doesn't mean you are. there are many others out there who, i'm sure, love sharing ideas and values with you infps.
i've frequently felt awful about my lack of self-efficacy in situations and, in short, lack of world domination, fame, fortune, etc. but then i finally found a group of like-minded intuitives who appreciated me for what i was. those things do so much work for us, they hold us in place so we can stop flexing/clenching. and our skills and lifelong projects just flow with a much more natural generosity and universality, we're so much more aware of what we actually have to give (back) and contribute to others, and the desire/trust to do so. and whether it's world-beating or not, we still have so much to offer others, i can think of friends, professors, co-workers, family members, classmates, etc, whose infpness was a great boon for me to encounter along the various roads i've traveled.
