If the directions were to submit the assignment in a .pdf file, and you did not do that, then the teacher had a reason to deduct points: you didn’t follow the directions. In my dozen years as a teacher, I’ve always tried to stress to my students the importance of simply following the directions on an assignment. That, and turning in assignments on time (which is part of the directions… the due date) are the secrets to doing well in school. Secrets which seem to elude a lot of students for some reason.

As far as I know the last time when a British monarch has given a citizen (or subject at this time) a direct order, was in 1944 by her father.He directly ordered Winston Churchill to stay in the UK, because the Prime Minister, pugnacious as usual and not caring for his physical safety, wanted to take part in the first wave of the Normandy invasions, with a battle bowler on his head and a submachine gun in his hands.The King had to tell him very directly that his place was in the headquarters in London and not with some infantry platoon on the beach and that he wasn’t a young lieutenant anymore.

What a wonderful question.“The wounded childhood” of the infj is difficult to take on but that’s why I am attempting it….Because we are - let me rephrase - I (not we) was very old as a child. I observed more than I participated and then when I started to participate it was with primo gusto. I observed and was pretty quiet until about 9….until I got a sense of the world and how it worked. And this is what by 9 I understood:I could feel the wounding nature of relationships in the world. I could feel what my parents were feeling but weren’t saying. I could feel the pain and confusion around me AS IF IT WERE MY OWN.Another type, may say “I am a victim of my circumstances” and have had the same childhood wounds and injuries as I suffered (molestation by relatives, taken advantage, neglected - we all know the ways children are injured).This may be me or it may be iNFJ, but I do not believe I can say that “I am a victim of a wounded childhood” because I have always had my first function - introverted intuition - in which I could resolve what remained unresolved in the real world that I was experinging around me.Basically introverted intuition, for me, means imagination. INFJs - The first function is introverted intuition - an irrational function (I just read Jung’s Psychological Types and he says that intuition is irrational - love that - it explains what makes us hard to understand)….I saw that those who “imposed” on me….had been imposed upon themselves….I saw my family and the kids around me with detachment and not with trust. It has taken me a long time to trust other people. But I have trusted myself - even when I was a child - I have sought and found the means to heal myself with the understanding that most people in this world are addicted to painful self-talk and spread it like wild fire…and so I couldn’t afford and still can’t afford - this is just my belief - to take on “wounded childhood” because there would be no help from this society or contemporary culture but a confirmation that yes, I was victimized….but who hasn’t been these days? We live in culture corrupted thru and thru with victim speak.SO - I would say that as an INFJ - but personally - I’ve been aware for most of my conscious life, say starting at 3, that “something smells rotten in Denmark” - and worked things out for myself intuitively - hours at a time in the basement making up stories and expressing the emotions that I felt but did not own because I gave them to the characters. The imagination is home for many INFJs.*****Another INFJ may have had to sacrifice their introverted intuition because its not understood by most people. So they could totally say they had a wounded childhood because everyone around them would be feeling pained and suffering and hurting - and they would have been forced to use their secondary functioning - extroverted empathy - without access to their first dominant function- introverted intuition. When INFJs are severed from their dominant function (and this did happen to me at one point before I knew the MBTI thing and in a toxic relationship), and are asked to be extroverted for extended periods of time, we do not honor what makes us healing forces in this world - unique, capable of tapping into original energy for the purposes of healing the suffering and pain we feel so prevails in this world.I don’t take the wounds I suffered in childhood personally. However, as soon as I was able to get away from the familial dynamic of hiding pain, masking it or what not or putting blame or shame on me for not buying into it - I did. And when this familial dynamic pops up in my current adult relationships - which it does because that’s what our culture, civilization condones or habituates us to conform with - I’m out.I can’t help thinking outside of the box. I think its the reason that there are few INFJs in the world - because the first function sets us apart from “the everyday norm” (and many born INFJ will become another type after being conditioned to suppress their introverted intuition - it scares parents - mine were like “woah this child knows something we don’t….” they compare notes with other parents and are like “nope my child is different….dont know how or why”….What parents do with our “difference” makes all the difference in how INFJs will answer the question of our wounded childhood.Thanks for a mind-bender!
