Thankfully, I’m no longer living in stress-tension. It sometimes took me longer than a week to be able to relax. To just be without a driving goal. I’m much more comfortable with objectives in mind, whether or not they’re arbitrary.
Normally I can get by without getting introvert time for a while. But, when I’m stressed I need more and find people extravert’ing at me to be more stressful
While getting my degree I cycled between these two. The work stress was a lot harder for me to recognize. I didn’t feel stressed—as I had known stress. I had gotten great at dealing with emotional stress, seeing it and working through it. I can piece myself back together again. Work stress sneaks up on me and I want to just.keep.working.
Work stress is completely different for me than emotional stress… I’m a fair bit better at acknowledging and coping with emotional stress. Work stress creeps up on me and I want to work more and more.
Harder to communicate how you deal with stress when you’re both stressed out. Ps not needing resolution always blows my J mind.
Just noticed a huge difference in myself, I’ve been stressed for…the last several years. I had untangled some other stuff, but getting this job was the final step in having some security for a while. And suddenly I’m like “can we make plans?” Not having things on the calendar is bugging me. For the last couple years it was planning anything not work related might interfere with my ability to react and would therefore be terrible. Erm, wanting to be fully SP I guess is a rather clear in the grip sign for an NJ.
It’s interesting how much stress can change people’s behavior. See also: http://www.newdirectionsconsulting.com/2010/04/mbti-in-the-grip/
