Are you an INFJ personality type? That means that you are like me and we are special for a couple of reasons. Are you ready to learn why those of us who are INFJ's are so special? Good because that's exactly what this article is about!

Reason one that we are such special people! Only about one to two percent of people in the world have this personality type. So chances are that you don't have any friends that are also an INFJ.

Reason two is that we are known as the advocates of the world. Chances are you have always advocated for something that meant a lot to you at the time and once it didn't really mean anything to you anymore you found something else rather quickly. Your entire life you have found something to advocate for.

Growing up people may have told you that you would be good in a helping field such as social work, nursing, criminal justice, or teaching as some examples because people in helping fields tend to be advocates for things that mean a lot to them and they tend to have big hearts.

You probably have a small circle of friends and you may often feel as if you are alone or that you are different from everyone else. Maybe you prefer to work alone. There is nothing wrong with not having a lot of friends, preferring to work alone, or feeling like you are different from everyone else because you know what feeling this way and preferring these things are what make you as the advocate and INFJ special!

Embrace your personality! Advocate for something that you truly care about! Be yourself and be proud of the fact that you are part of the one to two percent of the world that has this personality type!

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

Obsessive Thoughts Keep My Brain Stuck On A Loop And Me Stuck On My Couch

Sometimes my brain just starts turning on an idea and it doesn't want to stop.

I don't know if it is related to my anxiety, perfectionism or depression. I don't know why it happens. It's frustrating, it's painful and it stops me from functioning.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.
