I think the reason many INFJs have HSP traits is because their 'kind hearts resonate too much with others' emotions'
I am an INFJ with HSP traits, and I've noticed that there are quite a few people like me around.
Recently, I suddenly wondered, "Why are there so many HSPs among INFJs?". So, I took a little time to reflect on myself.
Ever since I was little, I wasextremely sensitive to people's feelings. When someone was being scolded, I would get nervous and feel like crying too, and when someone looked lonely, I would want to do anything to make them smile.
I react to the emotions of those around me before my own.
I'm the one asking "Are you okay?" before anyone asks me.
That became the norm, and my own inner voice was put on the back burner.
Thinking about it now, I believe that was both my HSP-ness and my INFJ-ness.
I've been told I'm too kind or that I worry too much, but
for me, it was just something I "felt."
Emotions aren't visible, but they come across like the air.
The light in someone's eyes, the pauses in their voice, a slight sigh.
I think receiving all of that is the INFJ's "resonance power."
HSP's "sensitivity to stimuli" isn't just about noises or lights;
I think there's also a type that is too sensitive to people's feelings.
Perhaps INFJs are that type of HSP.
I'm like that too.
My heart is easily stirred by someone's sadness or anger, and conversely,
there are times when I feel like crying at even the smallest kindness.
It's a feeling where "the difficulty of living" and "beauty" are side-by-side. It's exhausting, but I also think it's incredibly precious.
That's why, lately, I've stopped blaming myself for "resonating too much."
I get tired easily, but
isn't it amazing to be able to gently stand by someone's heart?
The reason there are many HSPs among INFJs is,
perhaps, because their kind hearts resonate too much with others' emotions.
That is who I am,
and I've finally started to feel that it's okay.
If there is anyone out there like me, I want to gently tell them:
Your soft sensitivity is truly wonderful.
Let's not push ourselves too hard today and just be kind.
If everyone were like that, the world would surely be a better place.
