How refreshing it is to feel okay about being that...after being hounded by family members with the rejoinder, "You're so SENSITIVE!" ... usually said with disparaging anger. Now that I've read another post where you've mentioned MBTI, I've stopped to think what my outcome had been when I took that test years ago. And I think it was INFP...but the person administering it had predicted ISTJ. And I'm thinking about how I feel an almost physical reaction (and am sometimes quick to anger) when people in my workplace come to me for data queries or things having to be calculated with numbers or tell me "You'll know the answer...you know a lot about computers..." But I don't! I've HAD to learn certain things because of hideous day jobs I've held...but those things aren't natural to me, I have no interest in them and would gladly run screaming out of the room at the thought of them, and LOATHE having to deal with them. Hmm...maybe there's something to this type-ing stuff after all... ;) Leah and I have also had conversations about being introverts and HSP.
