'I don't mean to bash on the theories regarding types (I do like them too), but I don't think they hold much weight in relationships. I think knowing differences between the types (perspective,...|||Hi everyone!  I've come across this problem I've always had with my parents, but it's just recently elevated since I've returned from my first year of college. First off, I just want to say, my...|||Wheww... I have one hell of a rough time with my family. I get along amazingly with my brother, despite a 6 year age difference, which is amplified, as he is 11 and I am 17. Of all the siblings with...|||I kind of like being the way I am (6w7), because I'm never caught unexpected. When events happen, or are about to happen, I get glimpses of what can go wrong, but also what can go well. For the most...|||For the what is your biggest weakness? question, I've always rehearsed an answer. When asked, I breathe deeply, pretend I'm thinking, and slowly answer it, while taking some breaks in the middle of...|||I rarely have dreams to start out with (or at least those that I remember), let alone a lucid dream. I'm dying to have one... so many things I'd love to be able to do (like fly xD)|||I want to say definitely the latter, because, currently, no one can take my silly side. But my opinion might change when I meet someone that can.|||Fuzzballs are nice and friendly, until they get ruffled? ;D|||I have a disproportionate number of female ESFJs in my life (or so I think they are). Some annoy the hell out of me, some are okay, some are great. I've had interest in a few of them, but it's always...|||Oh yea.... those nx cards really raped my wallet xD But I had a ton of fun while I played, so no regrets~ I hear it's like completely changed now o_o|||Can't say I know too many others that are really into MBTI, or enneagram, or anything of the like. However, I could see myself being mistaken for an ENTP at times...|||Well, I'm still a teen, but I've learned a lot over the years, especially in high school. There's a lot of academics I learned, what I should do, what I shouldn't do, what I should prepare myself...|||When I thought more about it, it made more sense; kudos to you for thinking of such an anology. :D I actually went ahead and tried to google it... came up with some weird things.... hahahaha|||Well, my dad has his PhD in Physics. He pursued it for three main reasons: he's a very math oriented person, but realized a math major is not as useful as a physics one; physics just makes sense to...|||No problemo! In response to your last message, I think you were a bit overboard. No doubt you were frustrated and puzzled, but some of those words are pretty harsh. I don't agree with her behavior,...|||That's what I would do. Start off like you just met her, and then step into it.|||o_o I, personally, would not get mad at that. I'd just clarify what I meant, but given her emotional state at the time, perhaps it would be different. However, when someone explains what they meant...|||^^ That's true. It is best to try something and just talk to her again. I would clear the air and ask for forgiveness (I have Wicked's For Good stuck in my head), just to make sure there aren't any...|||Ahhh, I guess I'd be pretty on par with that. I forgive super easily, but I just generally hate fake people (like those that act nice for a reason). I don't want to be a condescending prick, but I...|||OHMYGOD. I LOVED playing maple, but I've been clean for 2 years xD (god I sound like an addict...).|||I agree, but I think she should have been the one to say something.|||I care a lot about my appearance and looking like I'm well put together too, but not so much for an effect on others, it's mostly just for me to feel nice. But when someone expects me to do...|||I guess she might've gotten attached to you, but I still don't see why she wouldn't have said something after the fight. I personally don't see how having a rough life and clearing things up are...|||Hmmm. I agree with the acting nice to get something part. Can you clarify on I'll gladly take a friend who's hurt me with good intentions? I'm confused why good intentions would hurt you, unless it...|||Not to be a killjoy, but generally, when the parents are against you, the chances are kind of slim. But if you want, you can send her a nice email, just asking her how she's doing. Make sure it's...|||Huh...that's not something I would ever do. Friends > pretty much everything else I have. I pretty much never blow up as a result of taking something the wrong way as I prefer to figure out why you...|||Ahhhh, the way you explain it, it sure does look like I have the two switched. But I guess my realism was more of a no matter how hard I try, nothing will change, which seems more cynical than...|||Mixed messages? Nope, definitely not in this case. Imagine, I said, You'll do fine, don't worry. It's hard to take that in a wrong way (at least to me). But she's historically misunderstood a lot...|||I'm not exactly sure if the right word would be Realism or Cynicism, but here goes.   In most general descriptions, I've noticed that ENFPs tend to be described as idealistic. First off, I'm...|||Being alone and losing someone I care about. Gets me to be kind of clingy, and it really screws me over.|||With everyone saying teasing, I'd have to disagree. I tend to just tease anyone, physically and verbally, because I think it's fun. For me, if I talk to you on my own initiative A LOT, you're good....|||I've been called awkward a lot, but it's a completely different kind of awkward. More of the say-something-completely-unexpected awkward. I personally like it, it keeps people on their toes, and...|||Terribly selfish? No. Everyone has their agenda, and it is indeed nice to help people, but only when you have time / can make time. But what I think you have here is not being selfish, but being...|||Eh. I hate verbal affirmation. Never got it much as a kid, and I surely don't need it now as an adult (or almost adult :P). Empty, vague compliments generally make me distrust the person (especially...|||I always took the not-giving-a-damn-about-what-others-think part as learning to love yourself completely. I feel like it's a good way to live out your life, as it truly is *your* life. I care about...|||I do a lot of introspective thinking about who I am and how I can improve myself. The main reasons I change myself are:  1. It interferes with my lifestyle and interests. This generally doesn't...|||I mean, it's human to not like everyone you meet. I'm not sure if it's the same case for her, but I can say some dark/mean stuff about *people I don't like*. However, it's also pretty obvious I don't...|||^Totally agree. ------------------------------------------  I can't say I've met someone I'd actually want to date long term (and short term ones just aren't worth the breakup pain). I used to...|||I'm really touchy feely / huggy with my friends. But not so much with someone I like or am in a relationship with. It's kind of odd.|||Ahhh, I wish I could do that xD. It seems too harsh though =/. I think I've gotten the INFJ doorslam before. It's prettyyyyyyy bad|||Sorry for the double post as I'm not exactly sure how to mention someone in a post. I noticed you're a 6w7, just like me. How often do you get in this type of situation/ how easy is it for you to get...|||Thanks for all the responses guys! I actually forgot to give my own opinion xD. I notice I get really upset and hurt, but I have an immensely hard time pulling out. Especially if they contact you...|||I take it most ENFPs (and most people in general) are pretty good friends. What's your response when you realize that someone takes your time and attention for granted?|||Ahhh yes, I do do this, but I'm not exactly sure why. I guess it creates some sort of conversation (because waiters/waitresses are people too) and it's some form of guidance?   However, I'm more...|||That's rare. I've never said that to anyone as of date.|||I listen to sappy, romantic-ish songs for the first part. Usually turns out to be RnB or pop. It makes no sense, but it works amazingly well for me.  ...|||The idea of stress is pretty foreign to me. Might be because I'm kind of young, and there's not too much in my life other than school and friends. I don't get stressed before and after any sort of...|||Hmmm. I actually don't really go fish for compliments. At least not the empty ones from people that I don't know too well. For me, compliments can be broken down into two sections:  Those general...|||I read the article a bit ago, and my first impression was this is some bull. If presented with a picture, which is what the women in the survey were, I would also say men with a non-smiling face is...|||I could easily take pretty obvious lately as pretty friendly lately. At least as far as my girl-friends are concerned, some can get pretty touchy and gushy, but without any feelings (or so I...'
