Antonia, I’m so sorry you are going through this. A few years ago, my inner world (which as an INTP I inordinately treasure) was demolished when I found myself in the middle of a drama triangle. I literally felt like I lost everything. Nothing made sense anymore. But through grace and patience shown by my wife and a few faithful friends I am rebuilding, this time without making my mind and thoughts an idol and focusing more on relationship.
I would be remiss not to give the most credit to God. When we are stripped of everything that makes us valuable and strong, He doesn’t give up, accuse, or run away. Yes, fellowship requires faithfulness, but it’s not in order to be worthy because He valued me long before I ever turned to Him, and He proved it in His Son.
I hope you find (or are found by) what you’re looking for. While I don’t think the goal of life is to find our “essence”, I do think that “essence” is a fingerprint of the One who made us in His image. And what’s neat to me is that your personality and “essence” is different from everyone else’s, and each gives a slightly different perspective into the many aspects of His nature.
I do hope you forgive me that this turned into a sermon, but just know that your message resonated with me, both in the past and in my present circumstances.
And Joel, while your word count may have been low in this episode, having a Fi-dom (ISFP) wife myself, I know and appreciate that any insight or epiphany I have about relationships or feelings is because of her.
Antonia, thank you for sharing where you are at right now. I’ve been a huge fan and faithful listener since 2015 and have benefited so much from you and Joel. I love you guys.
I also went thru a dark night of the soul, and as an ENTJ, I have never felt more lost, upended and out of control. I was resonating so much while you were sharing and I just wanted to tell you – I understand. And you will be ok, you will be better, and it will be worth it. You will learn new coping strategies and new ways of navigating and how to ask yourself different questions. I hope you continue to share your journey with us – I can’t wait to hear more. ?
