I don’t just extravert my Feeling, quite often I gush. This leaves me self-conscious, embarrassed, feeling like I’ve said or done too much, or strangely, that my intensity/enthusiasm made me sound insincere.

I'm an INFJ joe amid extroverts, sensors, thinkers, and perceivers, and still trying to come to terms with it on a daily basis.
you hit the nail on the proverbial head
because the majority of folks don’t emote like we do, they may not believe we are genuine, when in fact, we are almost incapable of being inauthentic 🙂

I experience this too,,,and have had people give me that weird look on their face. Now i have learned to only gush around people that really know me. It’s hard being inauthentic as an INFJ and it’s such a skill to moderate ourselves, a still like a bit of gush though as i think it’s a special quality 🙂

I do this a lot too! I gush and everything is lovely or magical or oh my gosh! And then I wonder if my friends or family think I’m trying out for the role of a new Disney character. And yetthis trait is amazing. We’re sincerely easily touched people 🙂
