    Oh my gosh so many similarities! I’m INFJ too. I am the same way about clothing. I simply cannot wear anything uncomfortable or it uses up so much of my energy and attention that I have none left over for the regular goings on. I can’t wear bras anymore either, I wear those little adhesive nipple covers and loose tops. When I find something that feels very comfortable I try to buy several. I take all my showers and use the bathroom in the dark, I never turn on the lights for that. It feels very safe and calming and soothing to shower in the dark. I’m sorry you’re in an overwhelmed state right now, I feel for you. I hate when I get to that state. I’m sensitive to sound too if there’s too many different ones at once. There was a zoom meeting i was at recently and everyone was talking at once over each other and in just 4 minutes I went from feeling perfectly fine to feeling like I was having an anxiety attack and started crying and all the energy had drained from my body - I had to go outside and get away from all sound and just do something slow with my hands (feed my chickens) to calm my nervous system down- after about an hour I felt better. I really am the same way as you with clothing! I kid you not, I am so aware and uncomfortable if I feel any lines attached to my body (ie bra straps and lines around my torso). I have 6 pairs of the same lululemon shorts that are loose and still flattering that feels so comfortable. One day I was at a 2 day event- the first day I wore this dress, it had a ruched type bodice- that day I was feeling pretty good and the dress felt fine- by the next day, after being around a crowd the previous afternoon, I was feeling very poorly/no energy/overwhelmed, and the 2nd day, wearing the exact same dress, I couldn’t stand the feel of that ruching on the bodice of the dress touching my skin, it felt horrible and constricting. Yep I put on a smile and no one knows how much I’m actually suffering or just how bad my symptoms are when I finally collapse at home.

    This posting of yours is the raw honesty that drew me to your site ; ) I have had episodes when seated, maybe once a year, where I'm anxious, for no dramatic reason, and tight fitting/restrictive cloths seem be a noticeable combo giving me a tingling, clamminess and becoming light headed. I get up move around and it subsides. No medical expansion....I blame my INFJ/HSP and life on this blue marble. Peace and health

    Yes all of them. Once I quit a yoga class because I could listen to the music that was playing in the next room, a rihannas song. I could not focus on yoga and "rude boy " at the same time. Clothes have to feel right as well. Every time my sister visits me she laughs with the clothes that I keep to wear inside the house. Many of them are since we were little but I don't care. I don't mind the holes and everything I want to feel comfortable . There was a time that I took all the online tests that exist on autism because I thought I must be on the spectrum. It turns out I'm not. Color looks good on you Joys! ♡

      Off topic. What about friends joys? having a friend it's something almost impossible. our high standards can't count everybody we are close to as a friend. Friends are glorified in our perfectionist mind so we can't see almost nobody as a real friend. I hope I make sense.

    I just had to stop this video to say this to you Joy....I can not believe you went to the gym...I got stressed just hearing about it! I always have worked out alone...biking, walking, lifting weights, tapes at home - without knowing why OR understanding how I could be alone all day on my bike - then this year at 57 found out WHY I am the way I am!! INFJ-T, HSP, and empath who can go super nova empath once I have been wronged! Unbelievable to finally know what I am made up of....I thought I was crazy!
    Joy, I can feel the exact way you do....it's very hard that I know! I now have no TV or wifi SO if I need lazy quiet time I watch TH-cam on my phone!
    Freedom from TV and ipad!! Feels fantastic!!

    I relate to what you talked about here on a CELLULAR LEVEL ha!
    Thank God I don't suffer from chronic pain tho ❤️ my sense of overstimulation of the body kicks in during times of great mental fatigue/anxiety....when I HAVE to be fully present & deal with problems that either can't be solved or have a million steps to solve (with no clear way forward)....a time when I can't deploy that balloon-mode that I spoke of in another vid of yours (where most of my consciousness seems to float outside & above my physical body...I am truly at ease when I can feel this way, but some issues that crop up won't allow for this peaceful state)
    The worst time of all for this "condition" is when I have to watch a close loved one suffer & struggle with something I can't alleviate....those are the times when I feel like a skinless woman trying to stay afloat in a rubbing alcohol lake..... everything comes in, nothing flows back out. Love your vids as always.

    Thank you for sharing. Yes I've been feeling that way with wanting to isolate wanting to curl up in a ball and not feel anything. I've felt that way about certain clothes like I hate wearing dress clothes bc they feel so uncomfortable ans stiff and refuse to wear them I used to hate having to get dressed up to go to church or go to a funeral and the clothes add to that uncomfortable state that I'm in. I have to make myself get up and go grocery shopping and get some stuff fkrntjr house and just really not feeling like doing it. But I have to. Thank you for everything Joy

    Pre-marriage I didn`t care, but post-marriage I try to wear nice fitting clothes. The ones that are tight fitting actually look best on me but unless I am in good shape when I put them on, I feel like they are slipping upwards and it gives me a bad feeling that I cannot shirk, so I relate to your words about being hyper-sensitive to touch.
    I watch some other INFJ`s channels - you seem to me more typically INFJ than the others though with the way you put words together and the sensory overload that you experience so much. Sensory overload is a constant battle for me. The struggle is real.

    I also get the hypersensitivity to touch when stressed. Like when wearing dress socks that have a pronounced end seam , and so I have to take my shoes off several times and have to adjust and then re-adjust the socks because the end seam of the sock is so distracting.

It feels so weird strange odd bizarre, I can't figure it out. Maybe I'm nothing of my body maybe what i feel are some links to my trapped spirit inside my body.
