The world right now is an empath's nightmare.
This has been my journey this past year, and it’s one of the reasons I have posted less and less on this site. I’m finally learning to break free of the “peacemaker” and “conflict avoider” side of my personality type, and I’m learning to speak my truth, even if it leads to uncomfortable situations. THIS is how INFJs become leaders, not just the wise consultants in the background. We speak up, we take action, and we let our feelings out.
And I’ve lost some family and friends because of this. But the majority of people have actually reached out to me and praised me on my “badassery” and my ability to say exactly what everyone is thinking. So I will continue to speak my truth, not with the intention of upsetting people, but because I am capable of seeing the grays in the spectrum and shining a light on injustices in a unique and convincing way. And I don’t feel the need to hold back anymore.

Sometimes my empathy turns to apathy.
At times my rage is hard to contain.
Why must I feel so intensely.
When I’m sad my world is crumbling.
When I’m mad you’ll feel my wrath.
I’m loving and kind.
I’m mean and moody.
I’m tired guys.
Emotionally.
Mentally.
Physically.
Tired.
