I was out for a drink the other night with my ENTP and ENFP friends (ideal company for an INFJ). The ENTP said that she believed that if she thought a lot about what she really wanted in the future, it kind of ended up happening. She gave an example of when she was younger and used to live in a different town, she kept thinking of and imagining living in the city where we live. Then, she sort of ended up in this city, which is just where she always wanted to be (as if without trying).
I really could not relate to this. I told her that yes, like her, I would imagine what I wanted to do, but then I would start planning, making lists, taking all the necessary actions to achieve what I wanted, step by step. She said, "Oh no. That sounds too stressful". My ENFP friend said her approach was somewhere in between mine and the ENTP's.
So what I wanted to know was: Is this an ENTP thing, or is this just something that my crazy (yet lovable) friend believes in?
