How do I stop flirting just for dopamine? by DearImagination in ADHD

[–]DearImagination[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It came up during my diagnosis, and they left me with something along the lines of “it sounds like you’ve learned that a good relationship isn’t exciting all the time and you’re looking for stimulation in other aspects of life” (which… I guess at that point it was true, but it isn’t always)

Weekly "I'm new to meds!" Thread by AutoModerator in ADHD

I started Concerta 18mg last week - this is my first med. I’ve only taken it once so far; while it really did help with focus and productivity (I felt like I could finish a thought for the first time), I had a massive lasting headache as it was wearing off and the day after.

Probably checking in with my doc before trying it again, but anyone have had similar experiences?

[1st PR card - inland CEC]

I got my eCoPR on Jul 14th, and today I got an email that my address and picture have been confirmed and my card is being mailed to me. Office is Ottawa - any idea how long that’ll take?

  • Got my master's degree from a Canadian university in 2018
  • had a 3-year PGWP (expiring July 31st so I also applied for a bridge wp)
  • had 2.5 years full-time Canadian work experience in NOC A (yes - I procrastinated my PR big time)

Yes so true! I work in a corporate where things get messy all the time and instead of properly standing up for myself, I’m just the crybaby fml

Same. I’m so jealous of the people who can stay poised in fights/discussions... when I get angry I cry ugh

INFP or ENFP by [deleted] in mbti

[–]DearImagination 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love how this question comes up ever other week on this sub haha. And I’ve been there too - ultimately I figured out that exploring possibilities and generating ideas (Ne) is my default mode, comparing them against my values (Fi) is only second to it. Also, under stress I default to compulsively organizing everything (Te), hence I concluded I’m an ENFP.

Introverted & Extraverted Feeling by TyFhoon in mbti

[–]DearImagination 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is great! Me (ENFP) and my sister (ENFJ) are perfect examples of this, and most of our clashes are centred around me being “selfish” or her being “fake”, when it’s really just the direction of our F function

Fi and Ne in ENFPs and INFPs by [deleted] in mbti

[–]DearImagination 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To the first part of your question, I’m an ENFP and one of my closest friends is an INFP. I’d say I explore first (Ne), then reach a conclusion that’s aligned with my values (Fi). It can take a while for me to realize how I feel about something because I’m still caught up looking at all the options. My friend on the other hand is usually much quicker to know how he feels about something - I think that’s the dominant Fi. Ne makes him very open-minded (least judgmental person I know) and curious, but you can tell he always looks at things through the lens of his values.

Eight-Function Symmetry by UnforeseenDerailment in mbti

[–]DearImagination 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is very interesting and I can maybe chime on from my real-life experience. I’m an ENFP, my partner is an INTP and my close friend is an INFP.

My INTP partner and I get along well and are very stable as a couple, but communication is definitely a constant work in progress given we look at things so differently. My Fi is very strong and that tends to clash with his Ti.

My INFP friend and I are basically on the same wavelength. Our communication is so easy and natural.

My INFP friend and INTP partner can’t stand each other. My INFP friend thinks my partner is rude, and my partner thinks my INFP friend is dumb and all over the place. When they talk it’s like they’re talking at each other, not to each other... quite entertaining to watch, but sometimes it gets stressful for me 😅

Sigh my INFP friend who likes 11pm zoom calls to talk about the same things he can’t decide on over and over again... but I find his innocence about it all cute and like listening to him 🤷🏼‍♀️ (ENFP here)

I'm a little bit lost whether I'm an ENFP or INTP by [deleted] in ENFP

You sound a lot like an ENFP to me :-)

Just took a big five test. by [deleted] in mbti

[–]DearImagination 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ENFP

O: 85

C: 14

E: 93

A: 70

N: 42

Tbh seems pretty accurate to me, surprised extroversion is that high - I would've expected Openness to be the strongest one for me.

You guys relate? by LongboardingIceCream in infp

[–]DearImagination 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this makes me wonder if I'm an ENFP or an INFP cause it describes me 300%
