๐ Question: As a Muslimah whose MBTI personality type is INTJ, how do you usually react when a user removes you from a Facebook group chat or bans you from an online forum?
๐ Answer: Not surprised, not offended and not bothered at all (Alhamdulillah), especially if I never even checked the messages at that group chat and I don't have the slightest care and curiosity regarding what its members were discussing.
If I were an active participant, regularly posting messages at that group chat, I'd guess I was either deleted by mistake or the admin removed me as a member because I wasn't participating enough or they couldn't stand the kind of posts I was frequently sharing etc. Regardless of what the reason behind my expulsion was, I'd understand they have every right to select which members stay in the group and which ones need to be discharged to abide by the group's guidelines, because that's something I myself may do if I managed my own group chat and found the presence of certain users unnecessary.
Once I discover that a user deleted me from a group chat which I was never genuinely interested in joining, I'd delete the whole message thread so I don't have to bother with frequently noticing the group's name each time I check the inbox and recalling trifles which are completely irrelevant to me. If ever I encounter somebody online or offline who's part of that group chat, I would obstinately desist from asking them any question related to topics discussed in the group I was deleted from. Why bother attempting to gain more information on something which fails to inspire you to become a better Muslim and chattering about it won't do anything to improve the quality of your overall lifestyle?
As long as we strive to maintain strong connection with our Creator Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala, being rejected or despised by any of His servants, particularly those whose values are massively different from ours, isn't a big deal.

The Muslim is one from whose tongue and hand the Muslims are safe (not guilty of backbiting, telling lies, and deliberately committing injustice). The emigrant (muhaajir) is one who emigrates away from evil. By the One (Allah the Almighty) in Whose Hand is my soul, a servant will not enter Paradise if his neighbor is not secure from his harm."

๐ Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The strong believer is more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, but there is goodness in both of them. Be eager for what benefits you, seek help from Allah, and do not be frustrated. If something befalls you, then do not say: 'If only I had done something else.' Rather say: 'Allah has decreed what He wills.' Verily, the phrase ‘if only’ opens the way for the work of shaytan."
