'Not sure if I was clear enough in the original post, but I solidly identify with ENTP, and 100% identify with Ne as a dominant function.  This was more a post to see if anyone else took the odd...|||Hey guys!  I was wondering if any of you bounced around from type to type while trying to figure out you're ENTP. Well, not if you bounced around. I know a lot of us did/still try not to do that.....|||ONES:  w2 Apdenoatis: 1w2 2w1 5w6 sx/so (probably) Giga Blender: 1w2 2w1 5w6 Zamyatin: 1w2 3w4 6w5 sp/sx Vaan: 1w2 3w4 7w6 sx/so Garbanzo: 1w2 4w3 5w4 sx proudtobeme: 1w2 4w5 5w6 sp/sx...|||You called it out yourself in the bolded bit. When an INFJ is stressed, there's a theory that we play the ESTP. So in turn, an ESTP may appear like an angry or stressed INFJ (though we're sloppy...|||So I see this thread has been pulled from the past. Well, since it's back I guess I'll tack on. :tongue:  I catch myself mirroring others in social situations a lot. It feels like I feed on the...|||Fe doesn't make me a conformist. In fact, I find I use it more to promote change against the norm.   I think this is because, as an INFJ, Fe is often used in service of Ni. Fe gives me the drive to...|||Hi, I know this is a bit off-topic, and I really don't mean to throw doubt on your identity or anything, but I'm a tad confused. You clearly state your identify as an INFP, but your signature...|||I think the similar ideations but different actions make sense from a functional standpoint. INFPs lead with Fi, an introverted judging function, how they feel, 'going with your passions' as you put...|||1. I want to see them all the time! Or at least, I want to have contact with them whenever. I do need alone time sometimes, but I'll usually still be available via text if needed. Also, companionable...|||Thank you. I have one friend in particular who I couldn't exactly label where she stood, but this got it. She thinks we're still good friends, and I care enough to still be polite or helpful when she...|||I think you need to be honest with him and talk about how you feel. You need to be direct, but gentle and not critical.  Going along with what he wants to do may likely be actually making him feel...|||Good: Fe makes me really good at empathizing. I can pick up the emotions of the room or of an individual and really get what's going on. In pairing with Ni, I can understand why and often what to do...|||Boston, MA. Nothing more than that. ;)|||If you catch him looking over at you repeatedly, you've at least interested him in something, whether its attraction I have no idea. You've managed to pull him out of his head enough to notice and...|||Oh yeah, I always notice. It can drive me a little crazy though, because I always wonder, Why? (Hello Ni.)   - Are they checking me out? - Is my shirt ruffled weirdly? -Am I doing something...|||1. Can you tell me about 'psychic' Ni moments and trust/lack of trust in them? Would being in the grip of Se make you stop trusting your intuitions? When you get these moments, are they like a voice...|||Wow. Thank you so much. This really resonates with me.|||When I read this, I got an overwhelming desire to both punch you and also hug you forever... so I think I'm proving your point?|||At first I would have divided people into two groups, but when I thought about it, there are 6 levels of possible being for me.   1. Me.  2. People I can open up to, if I want - My mother (ESFJ),...|||1. Being cool and disinterested when I don't feel there's potential there -- I don't want to make a ton of new friends when I'm dating, why would I waste anyone's time when I don't see it going...|||I'm not religious. I think fixating on higher powers or supernatural forces distracts from what's real -- the people and things around us (no, not in a Sensor way). I think we should all focus more...|||Nope. I've never been particularly interested. I don't have sex dreams, but dreams of walking through the streets laughing at the mannerisms of someone I care about, perhaps referring to them by a...|||Oh yeah, I door slam. I've done it many times throughout my life. I don't like to do it when I'm doing it. The guilt from slamming someone toxic out hits me hard, and my own emotions and the sense of...|||To preface: I just finished losing a massive amount of weight (>140lbs). I've been heavy my whole life, and now I've lost the weight I've been very surprised to find that apparently I'm attractive?...|||Okay. So I've kinda been going crazy. I know there are hella threads on the forum asking for help with identification, but I still need help, so here I am. :]  I've solidly identified as an INFP...|||Wow. I think you've had a horrid experience with INFPs, but I also think you're not giving them enough credit. It almost reads like you're underestimating our agency and actively made choices. The...|||Summery should be referring to this thread. http://personalitycafe.com/enfj-forum-givers/342442-enfj-inferior-eruption.html|||Seeker  Ugh. I'm so sorry, Seeker. To me, it seems like you put a lot of effort into helping people here on this forum, and you seem to be really considerate. I wish you the best. You deserve it!|||I'd like to chime in that I'd love some help with this too. I came off super interested at first, but I panicked a bit, and now I think we both feel kind of rejected and cold, but I think there's...|||See, I think the preoccupation with death is a trait of being a less healthy INFP. I used to think about it more in the past, when I wasn't in the best place. However, now I don't like to think about...|||Haha. I'll jump in with Summery, i can help. :tongue:|||Holy hell. These things drive me crazy. I know, percentage/spectrum-wise on tests, that I often border between J and P (My other letters, I, N, and F are 50%>, no debates there).  In this quiz, I...|||btetschner   I've really appreciated your input with my situation. It seems like you've got a lot of questions/curiousities about INFPs? If you'd like, you can PM me with more detailed questions,...|||Oh. I have an update on the situation.  Today we met up and went to a music festival in the city and then to lunch.   It was soooo bad. I think it was overwhelmingly clear that we were not...|||I'd say it's more that I slip into hermit mode more often than I choose to be a hermit. I'll just kind of be drawn to spending time alone without thinking about it, and the next thing I know it's...|||I'm not entirely sure (because I'm still figuring out functions, *especially* with sensing types (they're so confusing!! It's probably because they're foreign to me haha.)), but I think the...|||Aw.  No, thank you!   That little bit of advice and affirmation there made my day. :happy:|||Also, I wanted to add in -- I laughed out loud (literal lol, lol) when I read about your situation with your boyfriend. I've felt that way so many times!!! :laughing:|||When I get angry with people, it's usually over very quickly: I'm feeling guilty, like I may have over-reacted, and I worry about how I've made the other person feel. ^^^ With people I don't have...|||I'd have to say INFJ. Yeah, they'd drive me crazy, but I could have meaningful, N conversations with them. Also it would be interesting. ;)  ESTP would be so much more struggle. I'd probably be...|||Haha, yeah. That's Fi for you.  If we have positive feelings about you, they're strong and we'll go to great lengths for you, because you're super important. The people we care about can sometimes...|||Also, sorry if I sound like I'm taking over your thread or trying to steal attention!! -- I swear I just felt a strong empathy for what you're describing. Sorry!! :sad:|||BlackAmber  This situations sounds so much like one I'm currently dealing with! I confronted him with a big text about being honest and open and also included a very direct offer to end things if...|||See, to me the whole thing just seems stupid! If you don't want to hang out with me, why would you say yes? Especially after that long-ass text gave you a perfect chance to step out? I think I made...|||Hey guys! So I've been texting this really fun ENFJ. He introduced himself to me via a dating app, and we got along super well. He asked for my number and we started texting pretty quickly. Then he...|||Thank you guys so much!   I just have one more question tonight about you adorably charming ENFJs (adorable and downright cute). If someone you're interested in goes on radio silence, do you like...|||Hi Seeker!  As you suggested in the other thread, I took the survey, and my result was Preoccupied. I know from my past experience and multiple testings on attachment that I definitely fall into...|||We put a great deal of effort into our appearance, at least mentally. It's not *always* apparent that the appearance we have took effort, but they usually do.
