double-edged sword
I want to ask this to other INFP's because I notice it a lot in myself, that I will be sitting in class or at home pulling weeds, when I suddenly get a really, really, really, really, REALLY great creative idea!
Does this ever happen to you guys? You get great, innovative ideas while just doing everyday, mundane activities? Or does anyone else notice that while they are TRYING to come up with a creative idea, they get nothing, but one sneaks up on them when they least expect it?
Or is this just me?
yes!
you described this perfectly.
often at the least expected moments, I can get super creative musical ideas, or even great story/novel, or non-fiction ideas, or any other great ideas!
even in my sleep (ie: dream), I can seemingly come up with this HUGE live-orchestral, or jazz/big-band whole compositions ideas!!
but alas,
what I
hate is of how the REALITY of trying to execute/realizing it slowly one-by-one is often such a pain-in-the-ass for me (I hate details so much).
I hate it, because I feel the ideas that's in my head is often
too perfect, or too excrutiatingly slow and takes-time to be executed in real-life.
and as an ADD person myself, I often just lose interest in working-out/finishing the damn details,
and often would just move on the next NEW ideas, or sudden surge of inspirations.
at first, I am really quite surprised, and glad, that I can come up with those 'crazy' even out-of-the-world ideas, as testified by many of my friends, who seems to be so envious of me,
but what these people don't know is how really
PAINFUL this could be, when you have like these literally 1,000 ideas that are always only
half-finished, which, in this Real-world, half-finished is simply =
NOT finished!
I hate this,
especially at my current age, where it seems to other
normal people (ie: especially in my family) that I'm just doing nothing good and keep putting-off my life!
(I have shared this in complete story, in a separate topic of mine
here, in case you're interested to read it).
to the OP: do you often get this same exact
'double-edged sword' problem too?
and how did you manage to work around it/pull it through?
would love to know!
thanks.
