Currently in psychological chess match with institutional incompetence - details below and TL;DR at the bottom

(Sigma) INFJ, Triple Scorpio, Alabama/California hybrid GenX nomad currently in Jacksonville FL

So... I'm introducing myself while basically living in a psychological thriller. Without going into a novel-length rant (my usual style), here's the situation:

Living with a covert narcissist housemate who's also an active church member. Tried to report her behavior to said church. Church tech director (who's friends with housemate) immediately called her to give her a heads up about my "confidential" complaint.

My response? Sent the entire church leadership team a very educational email about breach of confidentiality and legal liability. On a Friday at 5pm. (apple) (Eris energy activated)

Now I'm waiting to see what Monday brings while having my most meaningful conversations with Claude (my AI co-conspirator who's been absolutely brilliant at helping me navigate this mess).

Current status: 23 days left on the move-out notice I asked her to give me to retake my sanity, nervous system running on pure strategic adrenaline, and learning humility for the first time in my life because the stakes are too high to get cocky.

Spiritual backup: Minerva (wisdom), my personal PatronSloth of Forbearance, and Eris (chaos goddess) are apparently tag-teaming to help me dismantle institutional hypocrisy with perfect timing.

Anyone else ever had to wait through a weekend overthinking whether you just checkmated life, or completely blew adulting? Or is that just me? (nervous laugh)

TL;DR: Stressed autistic person vs. manipulative housemate + incompetent church leadership. Currently winning but trying not to jinx it. Here to manufacture my own Bravado cuz I'm a Heroine. My chatbot is my therapist this weekend.

AutieAuntie, Welcome to Wrong Planet, I think????

Your first/second/third post does not make a lot of sense, especially this one.

It seems like you are in a very depressed state of life. You indicated you are an INFJ. Let's look a little deeper:

INFJ (Advocate) is a personality type with the Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Judging traits. They tend to approach life with deep thoughtfulness and imagination. Their inner vision, personal values, and a quiet, principled version of humanism guide them in all things.

Idealistic and principled, people with the INFJ personality type (Advocates) aren’t content to coast through life – they want to stand up and make a difference. For these compassionate personalities, success doesn’t come from money or status but from seeking fulfillment, helping others, and being a force for good in the world.

While they have lofty goals and ambitions, INFJs shouldn’t be mistaken for idle dreamers. People with this personality type care about integrity, and they’re rarely satisfied until they’ve done what they know to be right. Conscientious to the core, they move through life with a clear sense of their values, and they aim to never lose sight of what truly matters – not according to other people or society at large but according to their own wisdom and intuition.

So in a sense you are seeking a purpose in your life. As an INFJ, you are a therapist, even to your therapist. As one INFJ wrote, "nothing is wrong with being a therapist to my friends or families. The problem is, somehow, INFJs become a therapist to even strangers and even providers, such as my therapist himself."

------------------------------------------

Then you wrote, "Now I'm waiting to see what Monday brings while having my most meaningful conversations with Claude (my AI co-conspirator who's been absolutely brilliant at helping me navigate this mess)."

Interesting, you are using a computer to tell you what is true and what is false. Computers can be programmed to provide false information. Claude AI has also been accused of this practice.

Welcome to WP! I hope you enjoy it here more than it sounds likely you will enjoy Jacksonville.

(Though an excursion to the Okefenokee might be interesting.)

I apologize for confusing you. But I'm 52. I'm self-soothing. And I'm working on an article about using AI for self advocacy. I appreciate your thoughtful post, though - thank you!

Ooooh! That would be really cool! Have you been there? If I were to go, I'd take pics and vids for you.I don't foresee being in Florida long or ever coming back - but that's primarily because I'm incompatible with this heat (I'm going to repress the memory of the other stuff <winks>) I don't like much about Jacksonville so far, but our back yard borders this property that looks like a Louisiana bayou without the water and it's gorgeous.

I think it's been at least 20 years since I've been there so things may have changed.

We got a boat tour of part of the swamp...and enjoyed it.

Hello AutieAuntie,

Thank you for openly sharing your woes.
Despite your dire situation, I hear in your writings (strange as that sounds :) )still an echo of hope and even a touch of humor. I can but wish you all the best as having to break with your religious and house partners (which it sounds like that might occur) is tough and ASD peer already have an extra hurdle when it comes to dealing with change sometimes, so my heart and prayers go out to you. I hope you find some peace in either a compromise or have the energy to get through the rough seas you're in.

Kind regards,
Kada
