MBTI and how it all affects me.

[Depression = 72% of members]

MBTI is a controversial personality profiling concept developped on the works of Carl Jung.
You can take the test and the result will be one of 16 possible personality types that define you based on:

INTROVERSION vs EXTROVERTION
INTUITION vs SENSING
FEELING vs THINKING
JUDGING vs PERCEIVING

my type is INFP. Meaning i am an introverted intuitive feeler with perceiving.

Each type also has a typical cognitive function stack. its these main 4 functions that define how you approach the world and react to whatever comes on your path.

For an INFP, a healthy flow is like this: Fi Ne Si Te

meaning that i check how i feel, i compare it with the world around me to challenge that feeling or look on options what to do with that feeling, i then select the optimal approach and finally test that with my rational side.

that's the healthy process.

But... .what i discovered is that under stress... .the normal flow gets reduced to only two steps.

During my BPD relationship i gradually kind of fell in a Fi - Te loop. i Feel something and i put a rational spin on it, in other words i was rationalizing heavily to keep my head above water. Didn't listen to the emotions and lost connection with the world around me.

After my relationship, i fell in another loop. Fi - Si. Means you have your feelings - intense grief in this case - and you are trying to make sense of them, causing more feelings to make sense of etc... .But without really being in touch with the world around me and without checking things rationally. So i got caught in a grieving loop without any perspective on a future.


It's been really helpfull to realise this, albeit it through this hypothetical MBTI concept.

I came into these unhealthy loops cause i let go of my inborn intuition, my intuition would have told me all along that things didn't add up, i was uncomfortable with the confusion my intuition was under, so i started avoiding my intuition and stopped exploring the outside world and build new experience to hold on to a stressing relationship, both when i was still a r/s and after the breakup.

The solution to get out of these loops is reactivating that intuition. by experiencing new things, meeting new people, starting new projects that really jumpstart that intuitive approach to the world.

chances are, whatever MBTI personality type you are, a BPD relationship will be sending you in similar loops specific for your types.

So, take the test, read up on your type, its functions and its loops, and you may find some pretty interesting facts and answers
