: : Hi there.......I know exactly what you mean....When I feel as if an enotion is too strong...I immediatly detatch, and go numb.....I have a very strong five wing..to a six...so I just use that to go into my head and cut off from my emotions....Most people think I'm a five or at least a thinking type but I'm really an infp six...I know it's strange. I even test out as a five on these tests here.......But I'm not..It's just that I've learned to act like a five in the world to protect myself.....
: : I don't think it's a horrible thing either.....I did it to survive...and now I am slowly starting to be able to feel again.....and not be afraid it will crush me....We all do what we have to do......chango

: : :
: : : I cannot face my pain, at least some of it. Certain kinds of loss
: : : that have to do with the choices of others.

: : : I have to step outside of it. If I have to tell somone how I feel, if the feeling is intense, it is only by detaching myself from those feelings & saying them as if they are insignificant that I can do it.
: : : I have to convince myself the feelings and the situation are insignificant, or I just couldn;t handle the reality, the implications of the situation for me.

: : : Interestingly enough, I have become so good at this, that for some I seem to come off as as thinking type. But I know that deep down, I'm a heart type. Call me a 'hiding heart' type.
