Teyvat Survival Guide

After wasting two months, Chen Jie finally picked up his pen and continued writing.

Because of my own perfectionism, I always thought about “how to write well and how to write perfectly”. I kept thinking about it but never took any action.

The result is that time drags on and patience gradually wears out.

I thought I had lost my passion.

Today I saw a video about MBTI personality advice for myself, and I was enlightened by a stranger.

I would like to express my gratitude here, even though the other party may not be able to see it.

I would like to pass on these suggestions to you here.

Original video: "Advice from a 25-year-old INFJ to an 18-year-old INFJ" by "Growing Little Bean Sprouts", an up-host at Bilibili.

“1. Completion is more important than perfection.

“When INFJ faces a new task, perfectionism often starts to take over, and they want to start preparing early and complete the task beautifully.

"But procrastination makes INFJ always in a state of "thinking", and these beautiful fantasies can never be put into practice.

“The longer you wait, the less desire there is to act.

"Finally, I fell into self-blame and powerlessness for not being able to complete the task.

“Suggestion: Kill procrastination as soon as possible, get on the road first, and then slowly adjust your posture.

“For example, if you want to write a novel.

"Don't think about it anymore, just turn on your computer and start writing now."

“2. Learn to accept failure.

“Failure is the norm in life. The key is to calm down and find the reason for failure.

“Sometimes the more serious you are, the more likely it is that things will go against your will.

“Just do things with a normal mindset, and maybe you’ll succeed unexpectedly.

“Don’t be afraid to fail.

“Don’t be afraid of losing face.

"Don't take face too seriously."

“3. Keep the habit of reading.

“You’ve read books, done things, and over time you’ve forgotten all the details.

“What remains becomes your cultivation.

“You may not remember the books you read, but they will remain in your heart.

“It will make you speak with reason, act with leeway, speak with measure, and play with propriety.

"Your words and actions are the result of your reading.

“It will change your whole life before you know it.”

“4. Don’t anticipate difficulties and the future.

“Stop setting yourself up for hardship and pain. What is going to happen will happen.

“Don’t worry or suffer in advance instead of taking the time to solve the problem now.

“Do your best and leave the rest to fate.

“Just do your best in the present moment and try it openly.

"As for what happened in the end...

"Whatever you want, go ahead.

“It was like when I was a kid and forgot to wear my red scarf and stood at the school gate, I thought the sky was falling.

“Looking back now, it wasn’t a big deal.

“There is nothing that is insurmountable.

"Every difficulty can be overcome."

“5. Develop your hobbies.

"INFJs can cultivate their own hobbies to better balance their inner emotions and external social pressures.

“Such as writing, painting, hiking, skiing, baking, etc.

“As time goes by, I become more and more confident.

“Go out more and find things that interest you.”

“6. Don’t care what other people think.

“I’ve learned two new ways to avoid internal friction.

"As long as you don't say it directly, I will pretend that I don't understand.

“I’ll be frank with you. If I don’t want to hear it, then I’ll just pretend I can’t hear it and just cover my ears and run forward.

“No matter what, I will always love me.

"I love my tangled and mottled years.

"I love my slowly rising courage."

……

Because of my obsessive-compulsive disorder, I want to finish the previous "occupied chapter" first, and I have to resume the updating status before modifying the previous chapter, so I'm just posting this one chapter.

I also hope that what I said in this video can help other people with the same personality as me.
