okay, i put this in the ENFP forum because A) i may or may not be an ENFP (but i could also possibly be an ENTP or even an introvert, i haven't properly decided) and b) this is a trait i've always read about being commonly applicable to the ENFP stereotype. so i thought you guys might know a thing or two.
every few months to a year, i get this really horrible craving for a radical change in my life. i just get so... bored. it's even a physical feeling, like something in my chest, sort of like anxiety that won't go away until i fuck shit up. sort of like a cigarette craving. anyway.
lately this feeling has been manifesting in the form of fantasizing about completely changing my relationships. i have been with my boyfriend for about six months now, and i love him to bits, but i keep just... wandering around in my mind, wondering what would happen if i left him, wondering what would happen if something else happened and i got together with somebody else, blah blah blah. i don't want to leave him, but it's still something i think about, to entertain that craving. i feel horribly guilty about it, but at the same time, i find it intriguing.
the problem arises when i think of actually acting on it. i'm a rather impulsive person, and i sort of have a history of, essentially, abandoning my friends in favor of something new. it's complicated, but it's happened before, and even though i'm not proud of it, it's part of my personality. i don't want to do that this time.
do you guys ever get this? if so, what do you do about it? what other ways are there to satisfy the urge to turn your life completely upside down?
i don't want to be a bad person. i wish i could make everyone happy. i wish i could do everything, but alas, you have to pick and choose sometimes.
sorry if i rambled. your thoughts are appreciated.
