I have really enjoyed listening to this series so far. I am currently reading another book so I have added this onto my “To Read” list.
I spent many of my early years studying Art pondering ideas around Identity and personal autonomy as a way to disentangle myself from the messages and programming of my youth that caused me huge amounts of insecurity. Artists such as “Frida Kahlo” and “Yayoi Kasuma” became role models for me, their work was a way for them to transend their pain and trauma. I was inspired by their courage. I now see the unfolding of life as a piece of Art in action, which really helps to not take everything so seriously.
My brother is an ENFP and I have had many IXFP friends who have also been great for helping me to balance out my Fe and stand more firmly in myself.
I had to give fairly regular presentations while I was studying…. It was AWFUL! (I’m grateful that I enjoy laughing… even at myself.) I would shake and my throat would dry up and go so tight that it sounded like I was going to burst into tears. I could of gotten out of doing it if I had wanted to, but I used to make myself do it because…. why not?
It would really bother me that I got so nervous as by this point I was fairly confident socially and didn’t struggle to speak in other situations, only when the spot light was directly on me. It felt like everyones energy was all in me at once and left my mind blank and racing simultaneously.
Ugh, Puberty is such horrid time. It sounds like you had a tough time of it, Antonia. If it helps, I think you’re pretty adorable :-)
I will definately try out the exercise and let you know how I get on.
Hope you are both well.
