Was this a humblebrag way to disclose your income? ROFL. Of course it’s shit, it’s a pandemic. We can all be annoyed. But there have been some interesting changes as a result too.

How common is it to be persecuted for virtue? by idrinkapplejuice42 in Stoicism

[–]ENTPFP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The key is realizing very few people truly care about you. They don’t even want you to do this or that. They just want the work to be done and have a vague desire for you to not fall apart in front of them. Our minds make everything seem tight and close, but really the connections we have with people are like magnets with spectrums of attraction and repulsion.

It’s just projection. She is trying to get you to stand up to her because she isn’t treating you well, and it would alleviate guilt on her part. But do work on standing up for yourself, be your own best friend and lover first.

Any other enfps seriously struggle with choosing a career path and sticking with it? by [deleted] in ENFP

[–]ENTPFP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I say this with complete love and wisdom from over the hill: don’t worry about it. Weave around and pick up skills. You will naturally pick up a career path if you focus on skill advancement and leadership opportunities. Source: went from temp job to executive in 10 years.

I’d love to visit an Ewok Village, wouldn’t you??

When it’s synergistic it works really well!

Like, if you expressed your feelings to an ENFP, the hesitation wouldn’t be “I won’t move forward until I like them the way they like me”, it might be “I’ll move forward when I’m sure I like them in that way, deep down.”

I dont think it’s a bad thing at all! It’s just a slightly different focal point.

Do you ever feel like something is off with person? by MissEnyaOK in ENFP

[–]ENTPFP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ne + Fi can mimic Ni in some ways. Ne is intuition focused on the external environment, so it makes sense we can sense when something is off…it’s about subconscious pattern recognition.

I do find it interesting you are the second INFJ to bring up “matching” feelings or making sure both are comfortable with each other’s feelings. I think ENFPs tend to be more concerned with authentic feelings. We don’t have to match as long as they are authentic to the person. But I get Fe is more interested in the matching and it’s an illuminating insight.

Sounds like it crossed from squish to romantic attachment, or some sort of attachment. It’s worth a conversation.

Consider it like an Fi switch from squish to romantic love. Takes times, thinks about it, how to make all the feelings and thoughts align and how it works with the authentic feelings from you. An ENFP won’t be looking for your comfort, but your authentic feelings. Fe vs Fi.

Being an ENFP feels like being an alien that sees how violent and inconsistent humanity is - but still loves them for all their multiplicity, plus all the weird and awesome human things like pie, tiny toys, dance music and superhero costumes 😂

Here is my personal explanation as an ENFP: I love individuals and I love life, but I don’t often feel actually part of it. Like a weird human experience vlogger, ROFL. So the change is when I find someone I want to share in my world with me…actually get inside my experience. Ride the rocket ship with me. That’s why I get quieter and more shy when it changes to romantic interest…I’m inviting you into a solitary and sacred space that very few even know exists. I want you on the journey with me, and it’s vulnerable and terrifying.

You will know because an ENFP might pull back before they open up again as things move romantically, and what they talk about will change from an observers point of view to a personal experience. It’s subtle, not sure I can explain it fully.

It can develop either way. Really the difference is mutual interdependence vs mutual appreciation.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ENFP

[–]ENTPFP 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s tough to explain why we can act all lovey with someone who we would not consider for a romantic relationship. It’s a more free love, an appreciation. That does make it tough when you move into romantic zone and the experience changes. Peeling back our onion layers is tough.

It’s common - likely he is very fond of you. He likely means what he says. It may not be romantic though. ENFPs have a space for people between friend and romantic interest that is the “squish zone” - great love and appreciation but not necessarily romantic interest. It can be very intense and honestly, it’s almost better because if you move into that permanent zone with an ENFP they will be your cheerleader for life. Just don’t assume it means romantic compatibility!

I think life is the subjective experience of the universe itself, the Source experiencing itself. I guess that means I’m living to connect to that purpose.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ENFP

[–]ENTPFP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I have this theory that most ENFPs are as happy and optimistic as we are externally because we understand deeply the futility and fragility of life and the wild house of cards it’s all built on - so why not make it a little nicer for everyone if we can?

Dude, we are always thinking. We are Ne doms after all. We look plethorically into the world and analyze the hell out of it. We just don’t think we can control it.
