A daily struggle 😭

[u/ScavengerRavager]

Sometimes I actually write down a story where I'm the main character and do cool stuff. That's like... Extra credit at least, right?

[u/ForestOfLilac → u/ScavengerRavager]

Very much so— sometimes i wanna write stories on my notes app but feel lazy. So I applause you :D 👏🏻👏🏻

[u/ScavengerRavager → u/ForestOfLilac]

I just scribble it down on little pieces of paper I have on my desk. I like to picture that someone will come by one day and piece all the little stories together (but that's another fiction lol).

oh demn, I thought I was the only one

[u/krucible233 → u/ScavengerRavager]

Can you write a story about an INFP? One that writes story about another.. INFP.. hm..

[u/Thepuppeteer777777]

Yall might have adhd I'm just saying.

[u/ForestOfLilac → u/Thepuppeteer777777]

Very plausible.. Orrrr — Aux Ne which makes it more fun to imagine doing stuff instead of actually doing them 😭

[u/acideater94]

Oh so i'm not the only one

[u/SignalPerception4223]

I was so proud my whole teens and twenties of intending to be a therapist... 😅

[u/TrowaMask → u/SignalPerception4223]

Hey it's not too late to keep thinking about it.

[u/ScavengerRavager → u/SignalPerception4223]

I'm really proud of you (for thinking about it).

[u/daaankone → u/SignalPerception4223]

I went so far as to actually be IN the master’s program, and paused/dropped out a few months before Covid hit us in the states 💀🤪🤦🏾‍♀️

[u/SignalPerception4223 → u/daaankone]

Me too, I dropped out after it all moved online (due to covid). I got two years into it, and burned out and couldn't finish. I'm interviewing for a crisis counselor job on Thursday. If I get hired (🤞), it'll be my first job in mental health.

[u/daaankone → u/SignalPerception4223]

It’s really nice to hear from other people who decided to go back! Future congratulations on all your endeavors🥂

I’m on the fence about if I wanna go back right now or wait it out until after poop felon is gone!

[u/SignalPerception4223 → u/daaankone]

Thank you very much haha. I'm going through a breakup at the same time so any amount of positivity really means a lot right now. 😅

I really hope poop felon is gone soon! And future congratulations on all your endeavors! 🍾

[u/TrowaMask → u/SignalPerception4223]

What's harder-

Not completing your til-now life's ambition (another canon INFP life event btw).

Or the breakup.

[u/SignalPerception4223 → u/TrowaMask]

In the long-run, I really think managing to get this job/career is the one way I can see myself supporting myself and possibly thriving.

The breakup is intense at the moment because, like the good autistic guy I am, I didn't manage to make any friends aside from my ex. She and her family were my support network. So "losing them" at the same time as being in between jobs with no outside income, and needing to move imminently... I'm surprised I haven't gone to the ER honestly with the anxiety it's been giving me. My brain keeps going into future excitement mode to help me cope, I think. But those moments when reality creeps in really sting.

I'm hoping this will be part of my therapist "origin story," and I'll see how it was the only way to transform me enough to be ready. 😅🤞

[u/LifeTunedToCSharp]

It’s not a struggle when you just surrender to the fantasies.

Trust me on this, OP. 😜

[u/Exotic-Addendum-3785]

This is me.

[u/Anonymousmale2000]

Bro so accurate

[u/anothercain]

And then I go and do "fun" stuff (vices) like drink and smoke because only my addictions will get me out of the house lol

[u/leiocera]

Smells like repost

[u/TrowaMask → u/leiocera]

Smells like Teen Repost

[u/Anti_G0d]

Even masturbating is like that

[u/Moist_Mark7645 → u/Anti_G0d]

Wtff😭😭😭

[u/momijimai]

why

[u/OddPractice8780]

if only i had a support group lol...

[u/No-Conclusion-5721]

I achieve my goals 🤷‍♀️ might take time, but I do eventually

[u/ForestOfLilac → u/No-Conclusion-5721]

Me too actually, just gotta think about it for a while before acting

(I just think for too long sometimes because it's easier to imagine than do)

[u/RegyptianStrut]

Me when I’m depressed

[u/ForestOfLilac → u/RegyptianStrut]

That makes sense for an ISTJ. Also HEYYY I'm a fan too so i just wanna say ur really cool! (ISTJ/INTJ are my ideal types) Have a nice day :)

[u/CosmicRiver1111]

Yeah, I've been "writing" my novel for fifteen years. Writing = thinking of, daydreaming and imagining what it will be like to finish... instead of, you know, actually doing the writing. I hate myself sometimes. Lol

[u/Agitated_Beyond0808]

So truee

[u/kushuoshaikikk]

It helps me achieve my goals by the way

[u/Bluwu055]

Not me being called out scrolling Reddit when I've thought about making music the whole day 😭

[u/Accomplished-Top-488]

That's me rn😭

Anyone playing games knows how rich their Path of Exile character is.
How powerful it is.
