INFJ’s first instinct is to run from emotions?

That was what my friend said about me (and observation about few other INFJ’s he knows). I don’t disagree for me, when my emotions are too overwhelming, which they most often are, I run. Meaning, I hide, I move away from people or situations that upset me. I can’t make sense of the emotions at the moment. However, that gives another issue - the problems accumulate until I explode.

Is that the same with you? How can we not to run from emotions or problems :( sometimes it just feels really too much, especially when it’s related to relationships.

Recently I am learning about Emotion Regulation, it has been really really helpful to recognize, detach and regulate my emotions, especially for HSP. Anyone who is interested in Emotion Regulation/Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and wanna be my learning buddy?
