As an INFP, I just don't always see why that stuff about oneself is relevant. It doesn't seem as real as thoughts and feelings. It's funny, because I acknowledge that I can learn a lot about a person when they self-disclose around me. Yet when it comes to me self-disclosing, I just can't see the relevance.
What makes it even harder (and makes me feel even more invisible) is the reality that even when it comes to my thoughts and feelings, I am nervous about sharing them. I don't want to override someone else's thoughts and feelings with my own. I never ever want someone to substitute my judgment for their own, so I am very careful. The informing style also makes it difficult to share thoughts and feelings if they could be misinterpreted as prescriptive rather than descriptive.
So I just end up pretty quiet (what can I say?) and when I do speak, I often don't feel authentic. Unless I am ranting or raving, and then I feel exposed and inept.
