I tend to be pretty avoidant when dealing with people, and I've always wondered if it was just due to my introverted nature or something more.
For example, I often catchup with my friends on saturday nights this is something I make myself do as a means to be 'sociable' and develop my underdeveloped extroversion. However I always find that I have a compulsion to leave early. I'll stay most of the night, however I'll end up getting a taxi home at some ungodly hour just so that I don't have to stay over. My friends don't understand why I have to do this (being mostly extroverts), but I just feel so drained by the end of the night that I have to get out of this situation to avoid partaking in any further conversation. It's the same with any conflict situation also, I'd prefer not to be involved at all, and I'm very likely just to walk off rather than have to deal with it. Interpersonal relationships seem to have these same sort of avoidant characteristics also.
Is this considered normal INFP behaviour? I'm hoping that someone with with a bit more insight into psychology or the MBTI would be able to give me a bit of insight into why I might behave this way? Cheers.
