That goes into another...|||My father does not talk about his feeling or thoughts unless he is directly asked and he is sure he will be listened to. Otherwise he will give a short answer (that goes back to my previous post)....|||No..... That is just.... No.|||Believe so.   Godzilla unleashed.|||That is very similar to what I went through when I was 19.  Confidence is a bid deal.|||I am in University, and I struggle with motivation and procrastination. I love school, I just hate doing homework when I could be doing something far more entertaining.   Does anyone else have or...|||I  went back and forth between thinking I was INFP and ENFP because of my quiet tendencies. I am shy in new environments, especially a new job or class. I am reserved and stand-offish. I am like...|||When I first started dating my SO, I tried taking care of him by cooking, cleaning, etc. I was terrible at it and was not consistent.

I am interested in reading it and maybe I will understand more! :D|||Well, I love the Ennegram and MBTI; however, we are always more than our type. We are not bound by the stereotypes or even what you read on ENFP 4s.   However, I can see where you are coming from...|||Well, why can't your ideal self be attained?  Why does that get in the way of knowing who you are?   I am only asking to understand what is going on exactly.   I am also an ENFP 4(w5).|||I love to write short stories and create stories in my head (that I often do not write down), photography, and drawing (portraits).|||I could be wrong, but I really want to say Dr. Horrible is an NF (INFP).|||Love that movie!|||Hahah!

They never respond well and usually go down fighting or spouting off everything they can to beat you down....|||My friend of 10 years was similar to that.
