I do this thing of making random connections between things that at first don't seem to have much to do with each other quite a lot. It's not uncommon for me to suddenly have a random perception during a conversation, like "OMG, my cell phone's camera lens looks like a vinyl record." I find it easy to create metaphors, allegories, and examples. If my goal is to explain a concept to someone, I like to use my creativity to adapt my examples and metaphors according to the person's experience, so they can understand it better. I write and compose, and I really enjoy using figures of speech and wordplay in my works.

I like to feel pleasure. I do anything that gives me pleasure. I don't have a preference for physical or intellectual activities, only activities that give me pleasure. Composing, writing reflections, and having philosophical or political conversations are intellectual activities that give me pleasure, so I do them. Cycling, artistic gymnastics, and extreme activities are physical activities that give me pleasure, so I do them.

I really enjoy enjoying sensory pleasures and exploring my 5 senses. Eating foods that I like and trying new foods, listening to good music and combining them with my current vibe, feeling the wind blowing on my face and the morning sun warming my skin, smelling the flowers and admiring beautiful landscapes or scenes, such as the sunset, for example, while I reflect, but without losing a second of perception of what is outside of me.

During a relaxed conversation, it is likely that, before I finish the first subject, I will jump from one topic to another, which leads to another, and arrives at another completely different one until I stop and ask myself “wait, what were we talking about again?”. The more excited I am, the more likely this will happen.

I know how to be direct when necessary. If I need to get a certain piece of information or if I need to tell someone that they were being a jerk, I will do it bluntly, and I will not deviate from what I need to say, not because of the other person's attempts, not for anything in the world.

I can have some “poetic” views on things in life. I call this seeing the poetry that exists between the lines of life. It’s being able to understand how moments and things that seem small are actually big, if you look beyond what your eyes can see. But I don’t think this distorts realism. I consider myself a realist, and I often try to give a reality check to people who are denying the facts or committing self-deception. I think this habit of always looking only at the good side of things is very harmful. I mean, you become so naive and manipulable… You have to face reality as it is, even if it’s harsh. This is the only way to REALLY try to change reality. Embellishing it in your head, or imagining that it’s better than it is, only makes everything perpetuate itself.

I’m always looking for change, always looking to improve a situation, I always want more. I’ve already accepted that I’ll never be satisfied, and I’ve decided that dissatisfied doesn’t have to be synonymous with unhappy. Since perfection does not exist in the sensible world, there will always be some imperfection, so there will always be something better to seek. Even if I am very happy with everything I have, I will still want something more. Forever. My hunger is insatiable.

I despise the comfort of conformism, and I completely disagree with those who say that “this is what it is, and so it will be like this forever” or “The world is an unfair place and there is nothing we can do about it”. The world has changed many times and will continue to change, and all we can do is do everything we can to direct it in the right direction.

It takes me ages to choose something from the menu because I simply want to try everything. When I go to an ice cream shop, I get about 10 small scoops of different flavors, instead of getting 2 or 3 normal-sized ones.

I live in the present. I try not to predict the future too much, because I know it is uncertain and the variables are infinite. I am not much of a planner or a fervent worker towards a long-term goal, to the point of giving up on living in the moment, and I also don't take many precautions thinking about things that might happen. I also try not to regret too much about what has already happened, because these are things that cannot be changed, there is no point in crying over spilt milk. I let go so as not to live trapped in the past. What is past is past, and it is by looking forward that we move forward.

Ambivert, not as a middle ground, but as both extremes. I need to have time to get in touch with my inner world, connect with my feelings and my true nature, reflect, enjoy my own company, clarify my ideas, etc. If I spend too much time without being able to do this, I feel like I'm distancing myself from my essence. At these times, I'm very focused on my inner world and can be a little inattentive to what's happening outside of me. But I also need to experience things in the outside world. Get in touch with other people, give myself over to external stimuli, and feel the good things that life has to offer. If I spend too much time without being able to do this, I feel like I'm wasting time. I need to enjoy life fully. At these times, I make myself very present, I let the moment invade me, I'm there body and soul. Without thinking about anything else, living in the present, without worrying about tomorrow or regretting the day before. I'm completely focused on the outside world and very attentive to everything that happens in it, I wouldn't miss a thing.

I'm always trying to extract something interesting or fun from the outside world. But when an external environment (in which I'm forced to be present) seems so boring and monotonous to the point that I come to the conclusion that there's nothing interesting to be extracted from it, I tend to focus more on my inner world, my thoughts and reflections. In this case, I can be a little inattentive compared to when I'm really involved with the environment.

I don't like trying to predict the future or make long-term plans. I prefer to leave my path free to go wherever I want. I don't like to stick to plans and goals. And if by chance, along the way, I find something more fun? I change my course, calmly. I think that too much planning spoils the fun of living life. I prefer spontaneity. Letting things happen naturally, and dealing with whatever comes my way, just improvising. I've always been better at improvising than at following patterns and plans.

I'm fickle in every sense of the word. I need change, I don't stay in one job, I've had all kinds of random hobbies and changed to another, I start a lot of things and projects and rarely finish them, "I changed my mind" has become my jargon, I like to make changes in my appearance, my mood is not only unstable and extreme but also completely unpredictable because of cyclothymia, I can't maintain routines, repetitions tire me, the common and familiar bore me, I like variety and breaking habits, I always want to go after something new, I have an open mind and it's okay for me to change my opinion or my thoughts about things, I always add something to my ideas. Basically, I'm in a constant inconstant movement.

There's some information about intuition that is not being told in mbti community. God gave everyone intuition for a reason. It's hidden knowledge and creativity that God gives us. Intuition is also given us aso a guide to our higher self's and spirituality. Our intuition is a guidance to what's right or what's wrong, to give us warning signals when something is off, to give us information from God, to guide us to higher levels of awareness, to help our spirit to become awaken, and to connect more into the spiritual realm than physical realm.

The mbti website makes being a sensor (not listening to your intuition) sound normal. It's not normal to be a sensor. Sensing forcus on physical realm with our five senses rather than going spiritual by listening to our intuition(our six sense) . The physical realm is really just a illusion we are really spirits in a school to learn life lessons and to become like God.

(Se) which is Sensing Extrovert being overly attached to physical realm and physical pleasures like sports, games, inappropriate behavior is the lower self. The Adventurers types ESFP, ESTP, ISFP, and ISTP are too attached to physical realm and physical pleasures with low (Ni) which is to help us go to our higher self's and spirituality.

(Si) which is Sensing Introvert with low (Ne) is being less acceptable to new ways of thinking , change for God's kingdom and new things. The Sentinels types ESFJ, ESTJ, ISFJ, and ISTJ are closed minded for newer ways of thinking and doing things with low (Ne) which is to help us be opened minded for new things and change God wants

(Ni) is intuition that is inside of us as a guidance to higher self, spiritual awakening and God.

(Ne) is open-mindeness so we'll be accepting to new ways of thinking and change so we'll be opened to God's new kingdom

The Adventurers with high (Se) and low (Ni) is the lower self. God didn't put us on this earth to be overly attached to physicality and play all day. This world and universe is a school for our spirits to learn and go higher levels of awakenings and consciousness. When we forcus to much on physical realm we are ignoring our real reason why we are here. We are here to become like our father (God) .

The Sentinels with high (Si) and low (Ne) is rejecting newer ways of thinking. When God brings in his kingdom we can't stay in our old ways. Our minds have to be renewed and opened to new things and new ways of thinking. When God brings in his kingdom he's going to make everything new and want people to be renewed in our thinking so we become new creatures.

One thing is wrong about mbti when it says our personality types cannot change. Listening to our Intuition is a option not permanent. God gave everyone intuition. Intuition is not only available for a few or some group people. Everyone has intuition. If a sensor finally decides to listen to their intuition then their intuition gets stronger the more they listen to it. When we ignore our intuition it gets weaker. Sensors can become intuitives the more they start listening to their intuition. Being a sensor(choosing not to listen to their intuition) is a option but can change anything if the person decides to listen to it.

Killing our intuition is a crime towards God and we can get into trouble. If we become darker and eventually end up killing our intuition we are setting up ourselves for death spirituality. Try keeping your intuition alive as it helps keeps you alive spirituality.

In the mbti community they took God out of the meaning of intuition and made it like a mysterious magical thing that pops out of nowhere. God gave everyone intuition as a guide to awaken the spirit. Introvert intuition(Ni) is the self-accusing spirit that is inside of all of us in hopes we listen to it to awaken the spirit. The more we listen to it the stronger the voice becomes and the more awakened we become spirituality.

The mbti community made it seem like it's normal for us to ignore our (Ni) so we can stay asleep and be dead spirituality. It's not normal for us to ignore our (Ni) it's the inner guidance for spiritual awakening, God, and higher self. (Ni) is not only just a gut feeling that warns us when to stay away from trouble it's also our self-accusing spirit that tells us what's right and what's wrong and gives us guilt when we do something bad.

When we do evil and feel guilty about it that's our (Ni) talking to us and it shows we are spiritually awake but when you can do evil and feel nothing that's a sign of lack of (Ni) and spiritual blindness/death.

I noticed there are a lot of fake intuitives in the mbti community. People think being a "intuitive" makes them special because they "choose" to listen to their intuition. Everyone has intuition. Intuition is not only for a few people or small group of people. Everyone has it. Intuition is listening to our nature we were created/self-accusing spirit in hopes we come back to our nature which is obedience to God. Our nature is to be righteous and submission to God. Listening to your intuition doesn't make you better than other people.

Some fake intuitives only want to listen to their intuition so they can feel special and smarter than others. That's not what intuition was made for. Intuition was made to awaken the spirit so we can become God and reach higher levels of awareness. It seems like most "intuitives" only wanted to listen to their intuition for negative purposes and to make themselves feel special. Being a "intuitive" doesn't mean being interested/studying in science, computer programming, abstract conversations, meaningful conversations and etc.

A real "intuitive" is someone who is in complete submission to God. When you submit yourself to God your self-accusing spirit/intuition becomes stronger and your spirit will be wide awake.

Intuitives can also lose their intuition and become sensors. When we become dark and evil our intuition gets weaker and we lose our creative powers. The darker we become our intuition gets weaker and if dark enough we could end up also killing our intuition. God doesn't give intuition to the wicked and the rebellious . Intuition is for the righteous and was made to keep us spiritually awake. When someone ignores their intuition or becomes dark they go into sensor mode which is spiritual blindness.

When we become evil and in rebellion towards God we lose

1. (Ni) which is to help keep us spiritually awake. Losing (Ni) causes spiritual blindness and keeps our spirits asleep and dead
2. (Ne) which is to help us be opened-minded to God's new ways of thinking. Losing (Ne) causes us to lose our creative powers and become rejectful of God's new thinking

There are a lot of fake INFJs, INTJs, ENTPs, ENFPs, etc. INFJs/INTJs with (Ni) as their dominate function means they should have a strong self-accusing spirit and should be spirituality awake. If you see a INFJ/ENFJ/ENTJ/INTJ that can do evil and feel nothing or in rebellion towards God that's a sign they completely lost their (Ni) and they are no longer an INFJ they are a sensor(spiritual blindness). When we disconnect ourselves from God or in rebellion we lose (Ni) or it gets weaken. Listening to (Ni) Is listening to the nature of ourselves (self-accusing spirit) which is obedience to God

Same thing that there are a lot of fake ENTPs, INTPs, INFPs and ENFPs claiming they have (Ne) as their dominate function. When we are in rebellion towards God we lose our creative powers.

There are a lot of fake intuitives that would act like the type, so called claim they are "trying" to listen to their intuition for negative purposes, and study abstract ideas just so they have feel special and have a title of being smart. The one's who think just because they "choose" to listen to their intuition that they are better than other people are really sensors and fake. God does not like proud and arrogant people. When we become arrogant we shut off knowledge and lose (Ne) and (Ni) . If we want a strong intuition we must be humble and submit to God . God doesn't give intuition to the proud, arrogant, and rebellious people

The N > S is better is really silly and foolish. Intuitives think just because they have more knowledge and so called "trying" to listen to their intituion are better. Sensors can gain strong intuition too and become intuitives too if they choose to submit to God and finally listen to their intuition. One thing is wrong about mbti when it says our personality types cannot change. Not listening to our Intuition is a option not permanent. God gave everyone intuition. Intuition is not only available for a few or some group people. Everyone has intuition. If a sensor finally decides to listen to their intuition then their intuition gets stronger the more they listen to it. When we ignore our intuition it gets weaker. Sensors can become intuitives the more they start listening to their intuition. Being a sensor(choosing not to listen to their intuition) is a option but can change anything if the person decides to listen to it.

Anyone can become great and smart when they choose to listen to their intuition. God wouldn't make only a few people "special" and leave the rest out. Then it would make God unfair and unjust. Anybody can become smart, great, have creative powers, and do great things because everyone has intuition. God gave everyone intuition not only a small group of people. Any sensor can become great and intuitive if they choose to listen to their intuition. God wants all of his children to become great and intuitive. He wouldn't favor only a few people and leave rest of his children out

We are not supposed to listen to our intuition just to get a special title type, to feel superior, to feel smater than others, to feel special, and for many other negative purposes. We listen to our intuition to become one with God, come back to him and become spirituality awaken. The Inuitives that are arrogant, proud, rebellious towards God, evil and dark are not inuitives they are fake. They just want a title(N type) to feel special and superior to others. Intuition comes from God. The creative ideas, the gut feeling, the hidden knowledge all comes from God. When we disconnect ourselves from God and in rebellion towards him we lose our powers/intuition. The "real" intuitives are the righteous and ones who are in submission to the will of God.

There are a lot of fake physics, fake coming up with ideas, and fake "i have a strong intuition" in the mbti community. People think being good at science, history, computer programming = having a strong intuition. That's not intuition it's just you being good at a topic or subject. And fake physics that are evil and in rebellion towards God are not physics they are just using witchcraft. Using witchcraft and casting spells is not intuition it's satantic. There's a lot of so-called "i found the hidden meanings" in the community. Their so called "getting hIdden information" are coming from fallen angels/demons they are not getting it from God nor their intuition. The so-called "I'm coming up with all these ideas " If they are evil and in rebellion towards God those "ideas" did not came from their intuition it was stolen. When we are evil and in rebellion towards God we lose our creative powers.

Using witchcraft and casting spells is not intuition. Studying science/abstract stuff and being good at a scientific subjects is not intuition. Stealing other people ideas and claiming it as yours is not intuition. Being spiritual, growing in stages of spiritual growth and being in submission to God is intuition.

It seems like everyone want a strong intuition but you can't have a strong intuition if you are evil or in rebellion towards God. To get a strong intuition we have to connect ourselves with God and go up levels of self spiritual development. The more we connect ourselves with God and develop our spirits the stronger our intuition becomes. The more we disconnect ourselves from God and not develop our spirits the weaker our intuition becomes.

Do not try to listen to your intuition for the purpose of wanting to feel superior to others or feel special. God wouldn't only make a few people special and leave the rest of his children out. God is just and treats all of his children equal. People in the mbti only want a strong intuition only so they can brag about it and feel special. God does not give people a strong intuition if they are proud, arrogant and only want to listen to it for selfish/negative intentions.

The definition of intuition had been oversimplified to just "gut feeling" and "coming up with idea's". Intuition is more than just " gut feeling " and "coming up with idea's" . Intuition is the self-accusing spirit that tells us what's right and what's wrong, it's our key to spiritual awakening, to help us see things clearer(coming out of spiritual blindness), and to help connect ourselves to God. God had been completely taken out of the definition of intuition and been limited to just listening to your gut and coming up with ideas. Listening to your gut and coming up with new ideas is just the basic levels of intuition. There are higher levels of intuition. The more our spirit is developed and more we connect ourselves to God our intuition gets stronger and we grow into higher levels of intuition. When we go into higher levels of intuition we start seeing things brigher, clearer and grow into more self-awarness. The more when we don't develop our spirit and disconnect from God the more our intuition gets weaker and we come into spiritual blindness and don't see things clearly.

There are a couple of agents and fake intuitives in the mbti community. The ones that would say "it's okay to be a sensor" , "being a sensor is fine" or "everyone is just different. When someone chooses to ignore their intuition" are agents and snakes that what you to stay into spiritual blindness. They don't want you to wake up to what's really going on and want to keep you in the dark.

The mbti community took God out of intuition and made it a "how we see the world" or intuition is a "cognitive function". I could tell the people who made the mbti website are atheism because they are deceiving a lot of people and don't want people to wake up on what's really going on. They hide the true meaning of intuition because they want everyone to stay asleep and be dead spirituality. The post is not a religion thing it's to get people to wake up spirituality. Submitting to God is not a religion it's a way of life and our nature

Hi im an INFJ male and recently met, im quite confident, an ENFP girl. I have only seen her twice. This second time she visited for thanksgiving. She doesnt live here. She doesnt celebrate thanksgiving in her culture. For a bit of background, she and her family are friends with some of my family. At first, my family was trying to set me up with her and i pushed back bcs of feeling pressured and awkward. But now, its like, wait a minute, she is amazing and beautiful and her values and personality and goals is like wow.

Anyway, during her time here she was very friendly towards me. During dinner she asked me if i wanted to get more food with her and touched my arm. Its really cold and later we were sitting by each other on the couch and they passed her a blanket, she asked me if i wanted to share the blanket. Then she told me her hands were cold and showed me by grabbing my hands (they were indeed cold). She was dancing at one point and asked me to dance with her. I felt there was something there when we made eye contact. I was carrying my cat down the stairs, and she held on to my cats paw the whole time as we were walking down the stairs.

I havent dated in a long time and im feeling things and not sure if im imagening things. Am i dumb or what? So far I have been respectful and kind but havent sought her with intention of affection and such. This is all quite new. Trying to be cautious with my heart as I got hurt quite bad in the past. She added me on instagram just when i was thinking of adding her. Is she flirting with me or just being nice? Anyways, I cant stop thinking about her and have been meditating on us together and pursuing her and what that would look like since she lives far away.

ENFP girls, am i overthinking or oblivious or what. I havent felt this way in a very long time.

Mbti was so difficult when i first tried to understand it with my best friend (INFJ) but we automatically fell in love with it and instantly started studying it. we made fun of each other when our character shared our mbti in movies and shows. "primarily using the personality data base, which i we do realize is incorrect sometimes"

i always understood why INFJ was a wizard, but we were never sure why ENFP only represented a backpack and a tie. A campaigner is a person who campaigns for social or political change.

we both knew that wasn't me. ive never protested, been actively involved in any kind of community change for the better. we both agreed i was hardly ever serious and joked around (way too much)

BUT THEN I WATCHED ONE PEICE. (don't roll your eyes- im freakin serious)
the moment i finally understood why an ENFP is a campaigner was because of the character Bon Clay.

i wont spoil it but this was the moment:

One Piece E440 - Believe in Miracles! Bon Clay's Cries from the Heart

So us ENFPs are pretty dang good at coming up with weird solutions to every day problems. I have a 5 month old who is so attached to his blanket,but now that he can roll over I’m terrified of him suffocating! So I thought of tying it up over his bed like a mobile so he can still put it in his mouth but can’t roll over with it. It stays stationary. I was so upset at the thought of taking it away from him that I couldn’t sleep last night lol! I actually used the Ferber method last night to let him scream because, you know, a loud baby is at least an alive baby! But then I thought of this while watching him play so he’s in the clear for now! lol! What other solutions have you guys thought of that really helped you out?? I’m curious! 👀

Hi, ENFPs! I’m hoping to get your thoughts and maybe some advice. Here’s the situation: my guy friend set me up on a blind date with one of his coworkers, who he says is an ENTJ. But after a bit of (harmless!) stalking, I found out he once identified as an ENFP-A, and I think that might still be the case.

The guy is younger than me, and neither of us knew anything about each other before the date. Funny thing is, he apparently found me online and checked me out beforehand. I imagined he’d be the cute, bubbly type, but when we met, he was actually assertive and quite manly, which caught me off guard. As an INFP, I ended up turning into a shy cinnamon roll who could barely talk to him. We played some board games (which I love), but I felt so pressured that I messed up and looked pretty clueless.

After the date, he added me on Facebook and sent me a casual message: “Enjoy the rest of the day.” I replied around 2 a.m., saying something like, “Just got home, blah blah, goodnight.” But he never responded after that. 😔

A few days later, my friend told me the ENFP guy admitted he felt pressured because I’m at a marrying age, and he prefers to take at least two years to get to know someone before considering a serious relationship. My friend also mentioned that the guy is shy and awkward around girls, but from my stalking, I can see he has a lot of female friends and seems really at ease with them. He even hangs out with them often. I also found out his last relationship lasted seven years, so he seems like a loyal type.

The problem is, I genuinely like him and want to get to know him better, but he hasn’t messaged me since. He doesn’t even view my stories sometimes. If he’s not interested in me, I at least expected us to stay friends since my guy friend said we really clicked and have a lot in common. I’m sure the ENFP must have noticed that too when he stalked me or saw my Facebook stories. I thought he’d at least send a friendly message, but he ended up ghosting me so quickly.

Does he dislike me that much? Why is he friendly with other girls but distant with me?

My intuition (and maybe my slightly delusional side) makes me think that he wasn’t that interested at first but started to become intrigued after checking out my Facebook stories and maybe stalking my profile. Now, he might be feeling shy or unsure about how to message me again, especially since he’s already ghosted me and it’s been a while since his last message (my friend mentioned that the ENFP admitted something similar). But I don’t want to overthink or assume too much, so I’d love to hear your perspectives!

Thank you so much! Omgeee it's so lengthy, I'm sorryyy.

I feel like this is p common among ENFPs but I'm a p expressive emotional person and I like to be understood and validated and I do the same for others. I have friends who are like me and I have a great time with them, but it feels like it's rare to find people like that. I more often than not end up befriending emotionally detached people who act like they don't care about anything and I always end up feeling so dumb and silly for getting to know them and investing my time and energy on them. I don't know why but I also feel some shame regarding that like I somehow lost and they won when that happens. I hate feeling this way. It's not wrong to be vulnerable and care about things.

Seriously?!

INFJ: Wizard

INFP: Princess

ENFJ: Knight

ENFP: Backpack and a tie.

What gives? We should have at least gotten a bard. Discuss.

Hi!

I'm a male ENFP starting a chat with an INTP girl; it's my first time with this type and I'm finding some comfortably points and some challenges:

👍Indipendence: we strongly high value the concept of individual independence and the need to self-expression as a life goal 👍willpower: she seems to be very determinadeterminate on her life goals and the plan to reach them 👍deep discussion and ability to analyse situations

❓️differences on life issue approach and other people: emphatic and supportive mine, maybe too rude and direct her

Did you live this situation? How did you feel?

Thanks! 😊

I'm a 30 year old male and live in Southern California. I'm interested in meeting ENFP friends. I just learned about MBTI and find it super interesting though I'm skeptical in general about these kind of things. However I'm open to It having merit. I play games and love books and movies. If you have suggestions for how or where to meet you folks please let me know. It would be cool to find buddies to play games with or chat about stuff in general.

(Sorry if I didn’t flair it right. It was the closest I figured would go). I feel like some people refresh some and some people drain me. I am as opinionated as was described in a recent post. I am shy and socially awkward and socially anxious and socially confused at times (mostly due to my most likely undiagnosed autism which I researched a ton and I relate to late diagnosed autistics). I am also ADHD and can be quite impulsive too. Once someone gets to know me I can be talkative. As long as the circumstances are right I am extroverted too. I have to not be experiencing sensory issues, not be too tired, be comfortable around someone and they have to be extroverted too. I relate to traits from both personality types.

I ask bc I've made a recent realizations about life.. I spent a lot of time sort of getting hung up on how I feel about everything, almost to an obsessive & paralyzing level. It'd be hard to simply be in the moment at all without hardcore analyzing my current situation and what it says about my life, my past, my future, etc, I've been a perpetually in-my-own head type of person.

That is until recently, when I realized that you don't NEED to figure out all this stuff all the time. Life can be fun without having the need to figure out EVERYTHING about my own heart. I can laugh off things and leave figuring out my own feelings till later. For some reason it just took me a longgggg time to realize that?

It reminds me of when I was a teen. College is when I started to get in my own head about EVERYTHING, but prior to that I was actually pretty good at truly living in the moment and I'm starting to finally get back to that at 27.

Oh, r/ENFP—where every post feels like a caffeine-fueled TED Talk no one asked for. It’s basically therapy, but with more memes and less self-awareness.

“Why do people think I’m chaotic?” — Maybe because you guys can’t decide whether to save the world or take a 4-hour nap after overthinking a text from three days ago. Every thread is either, “I’m so spontaneous and quirky!” or “I just cried because my plant looked sad.”

And let’s not forget the constant, “I just realized I’m an ENFP and now everything makes sense!” as if a personality test just solved their quarter-life crisis. Honestly, the subreddit is like a never-ending group project where everyone has ideas but no one wants to follow through.

All I can say for sure is xNxP. I use lots of Ne, but lately have presented more like a Ti-dom (depression'll do that).

I'm thinking ENFP is right, on most tests I get INFP, or sometimes ENTP. My first result was INTP. If I asked people who know me to type me their answers would be all over the place.

Although, I'm not exactly "extroverted" in the traditional sense; I'm talkative, and can talk for hours about a variety of things and am good at public speaking, but I don't get "energized" by social situations, and I definitely don't seek them out. I've never been to a party. I appear extroverted at school but would rather be at home.

I also relate more to a relative/subjective Ti deductive reasoning/formal logic than a Te inductive analysis. I relate more to Fi than Fe though.

Also I know it's only stereotypes but I'm not a big fan of INTJs

Seeing more and more posts that are just personal issues, without any specific relation to or tying in with ENFPs. Also just random experiences that aren't specifically ENFP.

Why dump all these random posts on here? I'm trying to find help with stuff and give help specific to the ENFP experience, but with the amount of off topic posts here it's getting quite hard to do so.

Does anyone else agree?

So fast food restaurant are expensive nowadays. I got these coupons which are amazing. I went to spot near me and used the coupons. I have so many and I tried to give it to others in line about to order but all of them refused and paid original price. It has me so confused and mind f'd that why would they do that. It was not just one person. It was alot. No one took the coupons. It was such an odd experience for me. Why not have few extra money in your pocket. I dont know what to say.

Hi folks!

I'm an ENFP myself, but I also suffer from AuDHD.
It's a pretty weird place to be as all the normal ENFP traits are kind of amplified. Especially the burnouts :(

I joined a few communities centered around neurodiversity, but felt they lacked the cross-over with typology that had really helped me gain more understanding of myself.
So, to that end, I've created a little group for people with interests in typology who may (or not) suffer from some form of neurodiversity.

The community is geared toward being as neutrally political as possible. I found other groups really had agendas to push and I never really felt comfortable with that. I'm not a fan of victim-mentality, but I do look for like-minds, friends and mutual-support from others.

We're only a small group at the moment, some more interested in exploring their relationships to mental health, others with interest in typology, sometimes both.

If this sounds interesting to you, please feel free to join in!

Here's the link to the Discord Community:

THIS IS AN OVER 18s GROUP

Well hello my fellow ENFPs or any other types. Have you ever had hard time connecting to people???? Or just communicating??? That’s me EVERY FUCKINH DAY 😭😭😭

The thing is that I don’t know what to talk about. Or how to talk. The thing is that I’m a huge nerd. I have many interest and shows/movies I watch. And tell the name of my fav show/hobby, you are my friend automatically. But other than this I have nothing to talk about. I’m more confused on people who have no interest and talk about their daily basis. Wtf do you want me to tell about my daily basis. That cleaned and doom scrolled reels? Or my family drama?? I could tell about that but why? Are we close? I want to know your character. Your flaws and weaknesses. You likes and dislikes or even just having good time with each other.

But I can’t talk with anyone. Deeply. Well with most them. It’s really hard to talk to people. I can just get to know them surface level really quickly. But maybe it’s just me wants deep connection with every person I like😭😭 I just don’t wanna stand awkwardly with each other. Sometimes these situations make want to make an emote 🫲😩🫱and evaporate 😭😭😭😭cause it’s so fucking awkward

Do you guys ever feel/felt like you're too werid for girls? Even then do you feel/felt like you're too emotional, thus driving girls away. I think I'm just stuck inside my own head.

If you do , please share which one , I don't know if it is called a commentary channel but I really like Lana Blakely's youtube videos and podcast.

Or however tf you spell it.

Anyone else get an uncomfortable amount of Deja vu?

Even though I think we are not a good match in essence, I like extroverted intuitive types. You are charming, positive, and have many good qualities that I like. The only thing that doesn't suit me is the inconsistency.

I am an introverted sensation type. I don't have much self-confidence. I've noticed that I'm most attracted to your type, but I feel that I am your opposite and don't know what could be so attractive about me to you. I give up quickly because I think I could be boring and tiring to you.

What do you think about my type? Do you find it attractive, and what specifically?

I'm writing this post after coming across comments in another thread of ENFPs being left hurt by INFJs in prior relationships.

I wanted to contribute my perspective as someone who used to type as INFJ and who used to kinda date an ENFP, like, 9 years ago, and I now I currently type ENFP.

I think all of the points made had some truth to them. INFJs can at times be narcissistic, and they can be hurtful when they need to be, but in my case, I saw my ENFP as fickle and ignoring of my emotions when I had made clear attempts to communicate how I felt. I'm not saying it was all her fault, and that all INFJ/ENFP relationships won't work, but we were both not ready for a relationship with each other at the time, and by the time we realized this, the damage had been done.

When I typed as INFJ, I had gotten in to a pretty decent grad school, and I was really trying to keep my grades up because I had been a terrible student in undergrad. A few months in, I realized that I had so few friends, and I was in a bad emotional place. The ENFP was in the same program as I was, and after meeting up for the first time, it was this honeymoon period of infatuation. However, she was always non-committal to a relationship. The thing as an INFJ was that I saw her as the perfect relationship, and all other alternatives were out. However, by the end of grad school, she had gone on to dating others, and I was alone in misery in this dark emotional pit. Everyone else in my program had graduated that spring, but I had failed 2 classes, and had to take another fall semester to graduate. I was not in a healthy emotional state.

So, emotionally, I had cut her off. It was a "doorslam" in every sense that an INFJ would mean it. In order to move on, I had gone on to other relationships, and in all honesty, I really didn't care what she was up to even though we worked at the same university. I never let her understand that I had moved on from my feelings for her. I justified it by telling myself, "She had moved on to other relationships, so she'll be fine without me."

She was still there 2 years later. She said hello, and I said a couple of quick words and kept on my way. I admit that I was being very immature and toxic by intent. I found out that she moved out of the city a few months after that.

I'm not writing this to justify my actions. Instead, I'm saying that we were great when it worked and toxic when it didn't. It didn't have to be that way, but if we were to pursue a relationship at the time, we would have had to do a lot of maturing to get to a healthy place with each other.

I don't know if this resonates with anyone, but I wanted to contribute my perspective from 9 years ago. Also, I wanted to say I'm sorry to anyone I might have hurt.

Hello my lovely fellow ENFPs, I hope yall are thriving as fuck and spreading round joy like hot cakes!

I am in a bit of a funk (I hate that terminology but imma roll with it haha). Imma try and keep this short as I can due to my yapping tendencies (don’t we all 🥲)

So I have accepted a job (first “big boy” job out of uni) as a Planner and Environmental Consultant. I really wanted to get into the field of social research (I did human geography and it was my bread n butter) as I do believe I have a desire to give voice to marginalised communities. However, after applying to some jobs (applying to many different types of job, was just desperate to get something) I just threw 💩 at the wall to see what sticked and it was environmental related jobs that responded mostly to me (perhaps because the social research related jobs require volunteering experience??).

Ok so my predicament is I’ve moved to a new city, got this job lined up but I am absolutely bricking it because I’m scared I’m going to find it boring and monotonous. I’ve told myself that if I don’t like it I will get a social research related job, go back to bartending (which I have done for 5 years and love, but don’t love the minimum wage) or do a social research masters or travel—> point being I will definitely find a suitable backup plan if it don’t work out.

I really do want to see if this job works out but I’m thinking so god Dayum negatively about it. The company is relatively small and seems cool, but I start in two weeks and keep having existential crisis’ about whether I’ll actually like it (also going from bartending shift work to 9-5 seems not cool, but then again I’ve never done a 9-5 so who knows). I just want a job that I enjoy/ find fulfilling, I feel like humanitarian stuff would’ve suit me better or creative stuff (I have a creative mind I just don’t tap into it too much). BUT I also do enjoy the idea of sustainable development, the job primarily focuses on renewables.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! 😊

(Sorry about the rant my thoughts just rambled, not sure if I’ve articulated as well as my brain is thinking but got them main gist)

For test one, it says I am ENFP, INFP, ESFP (In that order) For the second test, I got INFP (81 points), ENFP (72 points), INFJ (68 points). It seems like I am more of an IP, and I feel like more of "Let me do my own thing" than an "I want to explore" EP, but what do you guys think?

I'm not a doctor yet, I'm just at the mere medical school level. But I've noticed it has been incredibly difficult to become friends with most people in my class. Part of this is the cliques; the first group of people I was with were just not my clique but I realized too late and at this point (4 months into the school year) cliques are set, sacred groupchats made delineating who is friend and foe.

I didn't have much trouble in college, largely because I do put myself out there, am positive most of the time, and I try to keep the atmosphere light. That's not to say I'm not good at handling deep situations, after all I am training to be a doctor and medicine is frequently quite sad.

However in medical school, seems like these qualities are avoided. Putting yourself out there in talking to other students is seen as "weird". Talking to people outside of your clique is "weird". Not judging other students is "weird". I just don't like gossiping about others in a hurtful way. However I know gossip about just about everyone in my class because people tell me too much. Glad I'm at least perceived as trustworthy I guess. The worst though is being positive. The amount of pushback I got for having even a semblance of a smile or positivity or energy at any time of the day. Yes I complain, but I can still be in a good mood if something irks me. My positivity and energy came across as ditzy and unintelligent, which I do know because the first group of people I was with would laugh about my academic "stupidity" frequently. Mind you, we are all in medical school so by default we are nerdy and neurotic, and I frequently score well above the class average in exams. Sure I am not living in the books but not studying myself into the ground in misery is what allows me to perform well.

Medicine breeds miserable types, and misery loves company. I get that I should maybe keep more of my positive energy to myself but even after doing that I still struggle to form any friendships with my classmates, other than the basic level

TLDR; Anyway, point of my post is that is there anyone else who is in medical school or is a doctor who is an ENFP and struggles with forming connections with peers in the medical field? My personality had always been helpful in building relationships with patients, however has received a lot of pushback from my peers in the friendship sense. Medicine breeds miserable types and misery loves company.
