the INFP feels almost physically unable to engage in any career, relationship or activity that they do not feel passionately connected to. If their heart is not in whatever they are doing, they are unable to simply ‘grin and bear it.’ This type values authenticity above all else and must constantly be engaged with the world in a way that feels meaningful to them.
Gods. I have managed to grin and bear it because I can't think of a way to support myself and my horses that is true to me. I thought I was finally on that path, but then I got sick. Even if I became well, It would take me a while to catch back up financially so I could get training and then more time to build a business.
At least this makes me feel a little less crazy for having SUCH a hard time with work, even when I was healthy. And being out of the toxic work environment and having more autonomy at work helps.
