Being an INFJ means feeling everything deeper than most — your own emotions and the emotions of everyone you love. Funerals, celebrations, goodbyes… they all hit hard in ways that are hard to explain. So when I say no to plans, it’s rarely about the event. It’s about capacity. It’s about protecting the quiet space where I reset, reflect, and heal. My withdrawal isn’t rejection. It’s self-preservation. And if you’re wired like this too — your sensitivity isn’t weakness. It’s a gift that simply needs gentler handling.
