I'm working as a caregiver while I finish school. I've never felt connected to my patients and sometimes they complain that I act like I don't care. The truth is I didn't care, it was just a job. I did what I needed to do but I didn't meet there emotional needs, it was always a job.
Well, a few months ago I made the decision I would try to develop my feeling side, become more sociable, and to give a little more.
As a consequence I've developed emotions with such intensity that it actually scares me. Its like I'm turning into an INFP. I want to adopt starving children and save the world. Things make me extremely happy, they make me extremely sad, I overreact and last week I actually cried looking at a movie. Is this what the feeling type women go through? I don't think I can live like this, it's exhausting.
I guess I expected to gain emotional intelligence without actually feeling them.
As anyone else been through this?
