I seem to consistently cycle through feeling that everything has meaning, everything has a lesson to be learned and to grow from, everything seems to go right - it's like suddenly you see all the opportunities you should take in order to grow or progress in life, you know in your very core that things will work out, and they always do when I feel that way, no matter how shitty the situation could be.. then, suddenly, I'm completely without motivation and... not even necessarily depressed, just sort of numb to life and what is happening around me. It sort of sends me into a bit of a self destructive spiral and even though I know what could get me out of it, it's like I just don't have the energy to do what is required.
Sorry if this makes no sense. I'm in a bit of a spiral and a bit drunk on a Wednesday, just contemplating what the hell I'm doing when I know if I made the effort, I could probably get that invincible feeling back. And I'm wondering if this is a 'me' thing or an INFJ thing where someone might be able to shed some insight or advice.

nope. if apathy hits, it means your intuition is wrong, and you need to go experience more of reality action !

This might sound stupid so I apologise if it does! But could you explain what you mean further?

intuition is your subconscious part that has a ton of data and sends hormones and feeligns accordingly. and most of the time is our of sync with your reason, the conscious mind. intuition grows through action. hit reality more , and learn more of it. thats the equation. and by hitting reality im not saying, go travel, or go bungee jump. (although they do offer benefits) im saying express yourself more, share your feelings, your values, and learn to receive criticism, learn to let them go when new concepts appear. intuition + reason = convictions. when reality contradicts these convictions, all hell breaks loose. thats the skill to learn, keep acting, and once conflicted, be open to change and give up those convictions. keep training those scenarios . this might sound stupid, but did that make better sense? theres a ton of information to constrict , concepts tied to other concepts. here, this scenario, you made an intro, you deprecated yourself a bit, you are waaaay to careful with other peoples feelings. ) this blocks a big chuck of expressing yourself. you dont have to be afraid that you bother me, because wanting to understasnd is a virtue and shouldnt bother anyone. ure confusing someone saying with no interest in understanding, just wanting to contradict you or argument his own mental comfort, with the default curiosity and need to understand. dont do that. as i said, this is an example of inaccurate intuition, it tells you that what you are doing is not clear clean or virtuous, when it actually is. did i throw too much at you ?

That's certainly a lot to take in, but thank you - this does make more sense to me.
What you said about depreciating myself and caring too much about other people's feelings - kind of made me tear up at work a little bit haha. I didn't even realise I'd done it! And I do it all the bloody time now I think about it. The caring about others feelings too much though - I know that all too well in my day to day life. It's exhausting and I'm trying to work on being more selfish in that regard.
Thank you for your insight - you've just given me a new perspective on myself and something to work on.
Just gotta say, I love ENFJs for precisely this kind of advice! I've got an ENFJ in my life whom I am very close to, she's very similar in her advice and whenever I see her, I'm always energised by her positivity and attitude. Thanks again:) x

you can add me on fb, message me, keep me as close as you want. im here for you . can even send u books _^ im so glad you got my concepts. we have a ton of intuitive mechanisms that need to be revised, they are keeping us from taking care of our virtues.. we even act contrary tothem, and are getting drained in the process
