Thanks everyone. Not sure I know any other INFJs, actually.
Sometimes I envy those who simply lead by nature or force of personality, without overthinking it. You know, go big and live large. Seems like a lot of fun. Asking for a bit of balance in my R usually means my W slowing down, and she gets frustrated by that. Just take a look at lists of INFJ "famous people" on the web....I mean they (we) have strengths sure but it's not really a bunch of people you'd want to party with, right?
Anyway, I've come up with a list of leadership traits. And they sound great.....and exhausting. I think maybe I have this leadership thing all wrong. Trying to fit the sterotypical role of outgoing leader, out in front all the time just doesn't seem like it's going to work. It's just not me.
It's a little frustrating since it seems that relationships, works, etc. all expect this of men.
I keep coming back to the Taoist stuff. But they are funny about leadership - you know, leading without leading, or without anyone realizing it. I gravitate to this.
Anyway, I don't think my studying leadership is likely to help much. Actually, I think I just need to let it go. I sort of like me the way I am and maybe a little rest and a good sense of humor will get me just as far.
