I usually get a 50-50 score on ENFP or INFP and I'm not really sure which I am. I've looked into the dominant functions, and both ring very clearly to me. Like an INFP, I spend most of my free time thinking about who I am, my place in the world, what my feelings mean and what others feelings may mean. It's a very important thing to me, feelings lol. But like an ENFP who uses Ne I am...well zany. I love to discover and apply...or take things I view and transform them into something usable such as old photographs I took of animals...then turning it into an eye makeup look! (if that even is Ne). I am very much a different angle kind of person...I'm not rebellious...I just think everything can be taken a step further and in a completely different course :tongue:
Now to the comparing myself to other INFPs and ENFPs I know...
Like INFPs...social situations kind of scare me...but it is not necessarily because of the reasons they scare most. I have been around people who have constantly put me down for years and told me I have no social skills (an INTJ who honestly just didn't like how...umm...I guess you could call it intimate and open I was with people...and didn't understand how I wanted people to pour out their emotions to me). My own father who is an INFJ has commented on how over the years my zany nature has faded away and has been replaced my an insecure jumpy nature...afraid to take risks. I'm afraid I may just be a highly insecure E now...because when I was little I definitely talked everyones head off I liked.
Now like ENFPs...I get really sad when I'm not around people...when I have to look at my weaknesses. Unlike most ENFPs though I feel the need to recharge. Not very often of course...but say if I'm around a group of people for a week I need a day to just have some book time :happy:. Because sometimes I just like to have some space. Do ENFPs need space?
Next I guess I just list off some personality traits and things about me to aid.
- I love to think about feelings and what they might mean, and I love to apply these to imaginary characters once I have a theory and see how people feel about these characters.
- I believe I have a lot of friends, but I always fear that they only view me as an aquaintance...so I always refer to them as that when I'm asked on our status...but always feel guilty.
- I am definitely not afraid to explain my emotions to others and I can explain them well if asked. However, I get very irritated when I go to other people for help after I give them tons and they refuse haha :angry:
- I have a new interest almost every day lol...writing today, makeup tomorrow, skin care the next, and maybe outer space for a week or two...and I visit the old ones left behind every once in a while...things come and go easily for me which really irritates some people. But I get SO BORED...so easily... :tongue:
- I am not nervous when speaking in front of a large group of people and I am very good at making people smile...I take a lot of time to research people so I can find specific things that make them smile. However, after all that is said and done and I'm sitting at home...I worry my poor head off that I may have insulted someone...that they were really laughing at me in a bad way etc.
- Ohh...unlike a lot of ENFPs...I am not agressive when it comes to love and am...suddenly unable to talk to someone once I discover I have feelings for them (I can be ugh...very dense about those feelings sometimes :crazy
. And...I've never been confessed to that someone has loved me like a lot of ENFPs...I know I'm actually fairly nice looking...maybe it's just the pixie cut though
.
- I talk with my hands and eyes majorly...eyebrows raise up and down...I get excited easily.
- I have really scary moodswings. I can be ecstatic one moment and very depressed the next...It's either very high or very low...nothing in between.
- If I don't know anyone in a group of people and they don't interest me...I usually wont talk to them unless they speak first because I'm scared. I'm trying to get better.
- I either dress very theatrically...or very sloppily.
Sorry it was long, but I was just trying to give as much helpful info as possible...I hope it's helpful at least!
