INFJ: The Loop of Torment

We are the architects of our own cognitive prisons until we learn to inhabit the silence between the words

We exist in a state of inherent dichotomy, cut from a different cloth and often mislabeled even by ourselves. We use our secondary functions to slot into a world that doesn't share our architecture, creating a perfect disguise that hides the true degree of our neurodivergence. Yet beneath the mask, there is a recurring experience of feeling unmoored, caught between the gravity of a past we cannot change and a future we cannot yet see.

The core mechanism of this distress is the Ni-Ti loop—a feedback circuit between our dominant intuition and our inward-facing logic. Because this loop exists entirely within our introverted world, it offers no resolution; it is a hall of mirrors where we attempt to think our way out of thinking. We are often tormented not by reality itself, but by the egoic self—that smaller, fearful part of us that takes on responsibilities it was never qualified to manage.

The breakthrough comes when we recognize that the "Now" is the only space where consciousness actually resides. The past and the future are merely relics, constructs used by the ego to maintain a sense of protection that eventually feels like a cage. When we extend the horizon of the present, we find that the universe communicates through the spaces—the restful silences between the words and the symbols. It is in these moments, while creating art or simply being, that our plan finally slots in with the larger movement of existence.

We are visionaries who have survived the slings and arrows of venomous fate, and we are still here. I acknowledge the strength it takes to choose what we entertain in our minds and to lay down the heavy burden of the ego. We are the ones who sing like the birds, arising in the moment, and doing the work we were sent here to do.
