I'm INTP but have work that forces me to be in effect ESFJ -- how do I change?

I took the test and it says I'm INTP; plus I'm pretty smart (standard IQ somewhere north of 140), bookish & word-oriented. I'm also prone to mild depression, self-doubt and have a disastrous family background -- borderline mother, runaway father, etc. I work in a retail environment that I find constantly draining -- I finish each day so tired I can barely interact with my co-workers. I don't think the pragmatic types I worth with understand me or appreciate what I bring to the job, so they want me to be what I don't think I can be. Frankly I hate 90% of the work I do. And I have money problems. I know there's no magic bullet to set all this straight ("is there?" he asks hopefully but stupidly), but where do I begin, and how?

Is there any possible way you could quit that job and find one that fits your personality type better?

It is hard to change your personality, especially just for your career. ESFJ is the inferior function of INTP; so ESFJ is like the inner, unconscious you. Sort of like the "feminine" side of a man and "masculine" side of a woman. You'll have to sort of switch the two to cope with your job better, like become ESFJ on the outside, and INTP inside; get in touch with your unsconscious self and let it out.
