Personality At the end of my high school career, I had taken multiple personality tests. Myers Briggs personality test stated that I am an INFJ.

This has honestly made me fearful of relationships or as if all relationships end in unhappiness. When I was growing up my dad had anger issues so he raised his voice a lot and as a child it scared me. This may be why I try to avoid conflict because I’m afraid the end result will end badly or fear it may lead into an unhappy relationship. After discussing and writing about all these topics I have developed a greater understanding of relationships and have become more aware on areas I need to work on. After working on these areas, I’m surely to have better and more positive relationships in my
