That's interesting - you'd never told me that things were that difficult for you when you first moved to Ecuador. This also better explains our very different responses to the street dogs.
The larger issue, though, is one I struggle with - as you know. How do deal with my thrice-accursed INFJ emotions? I've gotten better at putting on a Stoic face - but it only goes so far. There doesn't seem to really be any great way to deal with the damned things; repressing them doesn't work, they won't be ignored, and one can only get so much distance from them. If you do figure it out, let me know.

You've gotten a lot better at channeling them over the last 6 years, that's for sure. I do believe that it's important to find an outlet as well, but that isn't easy. As I always say, I wish I had the answer for you. If I figure it out, you'll be the first to get a 10min voice message.
Well, I'll look forward to the message! That said, the best way to deal with emotions is something every human philosophy and civilization has struggled with. The Vulcan approach has a heck of a lot for it, though I suppose, even were it possible, it would seem pretty dry. It's as though one had two natures, a human nature and the nature of wolf of the steppe. Ok. I know. Not relevant at all. Just throwing it in.
