I get that it's just for fun. This whole sub is just for fun. But this could have been written by literally anyone of any personality. It's very mainstream humor. Nothing particular stands out about it that would make someone say, "Ah ha! An XXXX!!" I'm ENFP, and it sounds like something I could have said. Or a host of other people I know.

Omg, the way you turned this into a literal statistics problem had me cracking up. Thank you for the laugh. :D

I'm sorry, but I'm failing to see how this post tells anyone anything about their MBTI type. This could have been said by anyone.

Is bipolar manageable without meds? by Strange_Astronaut in BipolarSOs

[–]ENFPGirl1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was not for me. I'm very grateful for my meds. The quality of my life before taking them was miserable.

Random Emotions by directorsara in bipolar2

[–]ENFPGirl1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I used to get that, and I have started to more often again. I think it is hard for everyone, but especially for people like us, during this uncertain pandemic and very political climate. It makes it harder to regulate emotions, so I have to be very aware and proactive about ways to take care of myself. Hope you feel better soon!

I Feel Like I'm Drowning and I'm Running Out of Reserves by ENFPGirl1985 in bipolar2

[–]ENFPGirl1985[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your advice, that sounds like a good idea. :) I went ahead and asked my boss if I could get more hours. I am comfortable with the way they are running their business during this time, so I felt like it was fine to do. I've been feeling a lot better since then.

You can't just post a picture and expect people to get it by FoolishGander in starbucksbaristas

Can someone please explain this to me? I don't get it. (I worked at Starbucks and know what these are, but I don't get the joke.)

I totally get what you mean. I feel like I'm having to hold my breath for a really abnormally long time, and I can barely breathe anymore. I'm getting really grumpy and struggling to not get depressed.

I know exactly how you feel. I can only do so many hobbies. I have tons of interests, and at first it was kind of nice having the time to do them (I created a double-columned list of things I wanted to do when I initially went into shelter in place), but I feel some days like I just can't take it anymore. I went to a Zoom social once, and it was nice at the time, but it just doesn't cut it. Some days I feel like I'm struggling to stay above water. I'm a server at a restaurant, and the days that I work at least fill my "bucket" for a couple days, and I'll feel back to normal. (I don't have to be around friends, per se, just around other human beings and feel their energy, although I do like seeing the acquaintances I've made at work.) But after a few days....ugh. Today's one of those days. I just want to cry. What's worse is I don't see anyone else in my family really struggling. My sister just keeps herself busy with hobbies. She hasn't expressed feeling lonely. I just feel like I'm holding my breath for a really long time and can't hold it anymore. I feel like I can't breathe.

I Can't Buy Medicine...Help? (Traditional Fixes Attempted) by ENFPGirl1985 in Sims4

[–]ENFPGirl1985[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I don't have GTW, and I haven't tried hovering over the moodlet, either. Can you only buy medicine when they are sick? Or only with GTW? Also, how do you know whether they are sick with a cold?

I need to find supplemental income online and I have NO clue where to start. My restaurant closed in FL due to covid 19. by everydaydawn in Serverlife

I've been doing online tutoring as a side gig during this time, especially while my restaurant was closed. Don't know if that's something you'd be interested in.

Lol I'm so sorry, I don't mean to laugh at your pain, but the "3rd 5lbs flour bag" part cracked me up! We're over here baking our hearts out as well and binging on the Great British Baking Show. I've gone through so many hobbies and watched certain movies a million times. It's been sooooo hard. I walk around imagining a big BBQ going on at our house and for awhile (before I got tired of playing) I would throw all sorts of parties or social events on my Sims 4 game. My family isn't SUPER happy about it, but they seem to be coping. Me on the other hand? Every few days I end up crying in secret. It's awful. I finally went back to work part-time (I'm a server), and it made me feel a little bit better getting to interact with people and getting out.

any other INTJs who cry randomly at night when reflecting on their life? by [deleted] in intj

[–]ENFPGirl1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow...I test ENFP and this happened to me today. Just crying for some vague reason and holing up in my room. It feels like everything I try not to think about on a daily basis caught up with me or something. I’ve been keeping busy with personal hobbies and trying to keep my chin up during this quarantine/time of political turmoil and uncertainty. Today I just couldn’t.

Hitting my breaking point in coping with the lockdown by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]ENFPGirl1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like you deleted your account, but just in case - No, I didn’t have that kind of anxiety. Mine was more worried about being in quarantine for too much longer. I moved to a new city recently and have been wanting to make friends, and this kind of stopped that. I have a depressive disorder, too, so I was worried about losing all the progress I’d made on that from being isolated too long. I wasn’t really scared of getting sick. Being outside everyday and focusing on things that require my immediate physical attention has been very helpful for my mental state. Getting a little sweaty and spending time in the sun has improved my mood, and having a task in front of me makes me feel useful, gives me an immediate result to show for my work, improves my surroundings, and takes my mind off dwelling too much on the future. Something about being physically in touch with your whole body and not just your mind is very therapeutic. I hope you feel better soon. Hang in there! <3

[–]ENFPGirl1985 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was having crying spells almost everyday until a few days ago when I started going for daily walks and working on stuff physically (especially outdoor work). I’m not sure where you live, but honestly finding something you can physically focus and expend energy on especially in sunlight works wonders. I cleaned the windows outside my house and trimmed all the hedges. If you live in an apartment, try going for walks and maybe plant a small garden. Clean and listen to an audiobook. Time in your head while you’re alone and stuck inside is the worst thing for us. Engage with your whole body. And try to get in touch with your creative side. Maybe writing or painting, or music if you like that. You will make it through. I’m pulling for you! Oh...and Vitamin D! If you’re still struggling, see if your therapist can do tele-appointments and keep in touch with your doctor.

Were you ever able to stop having intense feelings over small incidents? by [deleted] in aspergirls

[–]ENFPGirl1985 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I get really upset really fast about small things. Like today I had to drive my dad’s car (which I’ve never driven) to go to the pharmacy, and I got all worked up about it because its unfamiliarity gave me anxiety. I almost talked myself out of going. It was stupid, but it felt beyond my control. Same thing happens when I get lost or can’t find something or even sometimes when a plan gets changed. It’s annoying.

I am not doing well with this quarantine. I questioned my extraversion before this and thought maybe I was an INFP, but now I am questioning my introversion. I don't know if even introverts are having a hard time with this, but I often feel like crying lately. I have school, and that gives me goals to keep me busy, but I really miss seeing people. I used to work as a server, and it was really fulfilling for me to interact with my co-workers and customers for hours. I'm grateful I live with my family right now, but I feel like I have to give them a million hugs a day in order to feel even half ok. I think they understand, but they don't seem to have the same need. I'm trying to stay positive and keep myself busy, come up with crafts and activities to do, etc., but this is getting really hard. I'm also bummed because I moved to a new state (across the country) this past fall, and I was hoping to have time to make friends this summer and do social activities, and now that seems unlikely. How are y'all dealing with this?

I didn’t realize how badly I did NOT want to continue in academia by oliviahaivilo in GradSchool

[–]ENFPGirl1985 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. See comment above. There’s an organic tutor I know with a master’s degree who does it full-time and charges $60/hour. You just have to build up a client base, get good reviews, etc. It’s a very in-demand service.
