INFJ

When considering a romantic partner do you care about learning about their past so you can better empathize with and understand them? I have had people reprimand me for trying to share my painful past with them. Maybe it is just an INFJ thing, but we want to be understood and accepted for who we truly are. We hate wearing masks. I don't think INFJs have had 'normal' upbringings. So we find it very difficult to relate to and connect with others. But we are not trying to cause pain (edited)

It is important to share your past with your (potential) partner for them to be aware and understand your situation, but telling them all the details? Not necessarily in my opinion. You can say you've been through this and that without full disclosure. Having war flashbacks is not going to help. If your potential partner cannot empathize with you without saying all the details find another one. The connection is not as strong as you think. Also, those people claim you make them sad by not telling them your painful past, cut them off. You do not have to adjust for their sake. Like I always say, we always consider other people's feelings but what about our own? Be kind to yourself, ma'am.

One of the closest people to me is an INFJ and she has been there for me when I need it and I for her. She goes through the same thing with the masks, but I believe, the person that u wanna be with should love u even when u don't have that mask on and there is going to be someone out there that does, I know it.
