I just finished reading another thread here on this forum with another ENFP using two words/phrases I think should never be a description of ENFPs: "depressed" and "lack of confidence" but I see them on posts way, way too much here.
I don't get it. We got the luck of the draw as far as personalities are concerned! We can be who we want, we can dominate the social arena and come home to our quiet couch and book. We are the colour and humor to any social engagement.
Empathy, creativity, and most of all: people WANT us. They get entranced by our presence as if they took a hit of ecstasy and stare into our eyes in conversation as if we are just plain awesome.
So why are so many of us depressed here? Do more of us need to unleash our 'Ne' at full power and see where it takes us? Do we feel like our 'Ne' is ONLY fake (like I once did) and that our 'Fi' is our only true self?
I'm not being overly arrogant about our type...We can really have it! The research by the MBTI psychologists states it over and over about ENFPs and our huge potential. The book right besides me says "...can have an extraordinarily positive contribution to all other types."
I don't have an answer. I just hope the day comes when everyone on this thread is confidant in their potential and striving for it. I feel for you depressed ENFPs.
