This article was written by someone, it seems, who has not delved too deeply into INFP-ness or people who are empathic [ie, the "Sponge" that is referenced.]
Being empathic [ie, absorbent] is not a reason - or *the* reason one is "a victim." Stone people, also, may be impervious to their surroundings but I have seen more victims of the "Stone typology" than "Sponge's."
I'm glad this person is blogging but this is just a fine example of everything on the internet cannot be taken as truth or a good assessment.
Many HSP's [Highly Sensitive People by way of Highly Sensory Perceptions] cannot help but absorb. They *sponge* electricity, moods, feelings, etc but how this makes them a "victim" in society is not explained in this article. "Victim mentality" is an attitude, not a condition and I think this is just one way this article falls extremely short.
