Are INFJs Highly Emotionally Sensitive?

An exploration of the emotional sensitivity of INFJs.

As an INFJ, I often find myself oscillating between two distinct states. In one state, I am highly sensitive. During these times, my emotions are on a hair-trigger. I can easily slip into extreme happiness or profound sadness. For example, a small act of kindness can send me soaring with joy, while a minor setback can plunge me into deep sorrow.

The other state is one of complete indifference. I understand what is happening around me, but I simply can't or don't want to feel empathy. It's as if I'm in a bubble, observing the world but not truly engaging with it.

Right now, I'm in a highly sensitive phase. Just today, I received the news that I didn't pass the third round of an interview for a club I like. Logically, I know I didn't have an overwhelming desire to be in this club. However, the senior members gave me such a great impression.

As a result, I'm filled with a sense of gratitude, contentment, and luck. The feeling of being respected and recognized is truly blissful.

This is my first time sharing such thoughts. If there's anything inappropriate, please let me know and I'll be happy to make corrections.
