It's been a great blessing to me. I'm glad you loved it so much!

Sure, everyone can do what they want. The point of the post though is to give people who are struggling some suggestions about careers and what you like and don't like about what you're doing. It's incredibly helpful for me to hear those things. That's the goal here, is to help everyone find a career they enjoy and to feel like they have found their purpose or are at least making progress in that direction.

My taste in music depends on the day. I have everything from Frank Sinatra to New Kids on the Block. I love pop, R&B, country, oldies, and a little bit of rap. I tend to get stuck on one song that I love and listen to it over and over again. I like how music can put you in a different mood so quickly. And how it can take you back to a different time.

I think you're right about needing different things at different times. When I was in high school and college I worked in retail and really liked it. I considered doing that as a career. I studied engineering and criminal justice in college and now I work in marketing, but am leaning towards writing now. The main thing that I see is that I liked and needed other things in the past and it's funny how your wants & needs change, but it takes you a while to realize it. And it's difficult to let go of what you thought you wanted before.

I have several different jobs/careers... Digital marketing manager - Idk if it's my purpose, but it's a lot of fun. It's fun because marketing, especially email and social media, are constantly changing, so there's always something to learn. It almost feels like a game that you're constantly figuring out. Graphic design - I love the creative aspect of this and it works well with marketing. Podcasting - While podcasting is fun most of the time, it's also really challenging for me. I don't like being on video or even audio really, but I know that it helps people to share my experience, so I push myself to do it. Plus, I love meeting other INFJs and knowing that I can help. Writing - I really feel like this is my purpose in life. It's a personal growth process to process what you're going through and share it with others. Plus it's constant motivation to keep improving.

I've experienced trauma because of it too. I've noticed a lot of it revolves around people expressing emotions, good or bad, but it's worse if their emotions are anger. Anger is one of those that I don't access so well.

I agree that it's good and bad. It's overwhelming to feel things so deeply, but it's amazing at the same time.

Welcome to the community! I know picking a few favorites is difficult. It seems like for me the 3 are the ones I'm reading right now. 😂

Welcome to the community! I love what you said about life being misery and bliss. I agree. It's incredibly difficult, but completely amazing too.
