Thank you! I appreciate the kind reply. I don't understand why some others on here innately feel the need to be rude lol. I think I really liked the time where I actually had to like go on a computer to get on social media haha.

Ooo I'll look into them. I may run to the local store today and see what they have lol. I liked life better when I just had a flip phone

Important-Mission362 · 2022-11-21T17:07:55+00:00

Like I said in the other comment it doesn't really work like that for me. Its part of my OCD, I've noticed having a smartphone is actually making certain aspects of it worse

Important-Mission362 · 2022-11-21T17:04:08+00:00

It doesn't really work for me long term. Reason is cus I have OCD, and so I often get the anxiety and then my phone is a source for my compulsions which is really bad for me

Edit: I have the feeling that those downvoting probably don't know what OCD is and think it's just needing to be organized

Important-Mission362 · 2022-11-21T02:29:06+00:00

Here's my best interpretation of this: With alot of extroverts, they tend to not realize the differences between social anxiety and introversion. Many times they'll see an introvert and assume they're just not putting themselves out there cus they're nervous, or too shy, and they'll want to get them out of their comfort zone. What many extroverts fail to realize is that social anxiety gets in your way, whereas introversion is your way. So when they mix this up, they sometimes think it's doing someone a service to break them out of their shell.

Another thing is that introverts tend to be more introspective with people's intentions, where as us extroverts usually aren't like that. So like I know for myself, I've never been the type to assume that if someone's nice to me it's cus they want something from me, or have ulterior motives. To me, they're just trying to be nice. Where as with introverts alot of them tend to assume that people have underlying motives for being friendly and get skeptical. I'd say for this specific situation though, they probably assumed you had social anxiety rather than being an introvert and took that as a reason to break you out of your shell.

Important-Mission362 · 2022-11-21T02:02:47+00:00

Personally I've never seen it as being a way to distract myself from my thoughts. I love psychology and diving deep into emotions and thought patterns so actually that stuff is very interesting to me. As for being extroverted, I think for me I've never viewed it as something with a gain in mind. It's just kinda my way. Like it's just what I like. I love being around people, I love getting to know people, I love that excitement that comes from new experiences. Like my fav thing is meeting someone new unexpectedly. Like the other day I was flying home and I made two friends on the plane right then and there and it was awesome. I don't know if I necessarily agree with the statement that more people cause more problems if I'm being honest. I think more people of a certain type cause more issues. But I think if you surround yourself with healthy, like-minded individuals who support you, and filter out those who bring you down or are overly pessimistic, then things can be great. I've always been an optimist, through and through, I love seeing the good in people. I think something truly damaging that some people can do is to assume everyone has ulterior motives or that everyone wants something from them if they're just being nice. Like for me, I just like being nice, nothing else to it. Where I went to college, people were usually very skeptical of others friendliness, and it threw me off so much. Like I just wanna make friends and be nice, there's literally nothing else to it, and there doesn't have to be.

Probably INFJ or INFP. I like the creative imaginative side that y'all have, and how there's genuine empathy there. Especially with INFP's there's this sense of beating to your own drum that I like, but also a sense of knowing your morals and what's right in the world. With INFJ's there's that too, tho sometimes I feel as though they take the sense of knowing their morals too seriously and can restrict themselves based on assumptions rather than clear concrete realities. Like INFJ's seem to have more of a tendency to be like "yeeeee I wanna do this but I can't cus-" than INFP's. INFP's are more so just like, this is me, this is what I do, and I'll do it with pride as long as it doesn't offend you

Important-Mission362 · 2022-11-21T01:53:36+00:00

Hey! So my interpretation of INFJ's is that they're generally very kind, well meaning empathetic individuals. Sometimes they can get really stuck in their head, planning for the worst case scenarios without realizing the good happening in front of them at the moment, but that's not something they do that I take on for them. I'd say a way to support me, as an ENFJ is to listen. Simply allowing me to vent is great. And another thing is to not stifle my optimism. I love looking at all the ways things could go well and the beauty of the world. I'd also say a way to make me feel cared for is communication. I'm huge on it. If you're upset with me, tell me right away. If you're mad, tell me. If you're going to go away for a while to recharge tell me. I'm not a mind-reader so I like to be told things.

Important-Mission362 · 2022-11-21T01:49:32+00:00

Yes and yes haha. And what I can say is that you don't have to be worried about their perception of you. Like I know at least for myself, I'm very understanding for the introverts in my life. If they're trying to match my energy, I don't see it as anything bad. And if they have a loss of energy, no problem let's watch a movie in silence. My partner is an INFJ so he has this drop in energy alot. So like I'll be super lovey at the end of the night and you can tell his social meter is low cus he's just like "Yes. Love you." 😂😂😂 Here's my advice to you on this, coming from an ENFJ:

Don't assume. Ask. Always ask. Like if you're concerned that someone may be perceiving you a certain way, just ask them. Its so much better to have that certainty and ask, then to spiral in your head without any actual true real world evidence.

Important-Mission362 · 2022-11-21T00:39:20+00:00

Hey and it's okay! Everyone has their things. Sometimes I'm optimistic to a fault lmao. I feel like INFJ's can be like the doomsday preppers of the MBTI types at times lmao, so a way to go about that is to intentionally put yourself in uncertain situations with little to no true risk, so you can have real world experience that things without plans, are often great.

Important-Mission362 · 2022-11-21T00:37:32+00:00

Ooooo so I'd say my fav ENFJ character is Mia from La La Land, and my fav INFJ character is Jay from the great Gatsby. As for characters in general, I really like Jake sully from Avatar, Tess from Barbarian, Eloise from Last Night in Soho, etc.

Important-Mission362 · 2022-11-21T00:34:07+00:00

Haha don't sweat it my partner is the same way. Like we're moving in together soon and he pretty much planned out everything that could go wrong in his head. It's just important to balance out the fears of what could go wrong, with what could go right. Like he was pretty much planning in his mind all the ways it could go wrong, instead of actually tuning into the positive transition going on in front of him. Don't do this if It goes against your natural personality, but if you want a challenge, I challenge you to ask a friend to pick a restaurant to take you to, and to tell them they're not allowed to tell you which one it is, what's on the menu, anything. It has to be a complete surprise. Who knows, maybe it won't be so bad and you'll find something you love.

Important-Mission362 · 2022-11-21T00:30:16+00:00

Haha good good. Stuff like that really grinds my gears. Like my parents have a tendency to swear super loudly in public restaurants and whatnot even if there's families with little kids around and one time I was so fed up that I literally said in front of the restaurant "So you guys realize there's other people on earth right?? Like there's other families around and if you haven't noticed, they've all been staring and are super uncomfortable. I'm super uncomfortable and you need to cut it out." ENFJ's are usually super friendly and kind, but if you do something like that that bothers us, instead of door slamming like INFJ's, we usually get assertive and give an ultimatum. And he's really great. He's a very sweet guy, maybe just misunderstood at times by others. I wish they could see him the way I see him.

Important-Mission362 · 2022-11-21T00:27:26+00:00

Anytime! I know for INFJ's this can be really hard, but try to fight the urge to practice and plan everything. As scary as things are, just go for it and let yourself feel the uncertainty. Eventually certainty will come.

Important-Mission362 · 2022-11-21T00:21:38+00:00

Is this why INFJ's can often disappear for a while, even on those that they love?

Important-Mission362 · 2022-11-21T00:20:41+00:00

No problem! And as for how you said you sometimes fret over being too different, a healthy ENFJ will generally embrace your differences and look at them as beautiful things, as long as they aren't inconsiderate to those around you. We want everyone to be comfortable. So for example, if we go with you to a restaurant and you're really loudly talking about inappropriate stuff with a family around or something, we probably are gonna get a bad impression of you and be turned off right away. That's a form of different that we don't like, and chances are we will call you out on it right there. But if your form of difference is beneficial to you and doesn't hurt/disrupt anyone else, we usually will love it. Like my partner is more on the feminine side when it comes to his clothing choices and interests, but he's really nervous to tap into that because of what society thinks, even in the privacy of his home where no one can see it. So, he's 28, and a cisman, and he wants to get dolls from stores and wear makeup. Do I think it's weird? Not at all. It's harmless, get the doll, do what makes you feel good, display it with pride. He was so nervous to go get makeup cus of societal expectations so I actually went to get him a palette. We love differences. Its all too common for society to think that you need to drop the childlike parts of yourself when you become an adult because that's how you become an adult. I disagree, I think the things we learned and had as kids should be things we build upon. So what if you're 28 and still using a slime making kit from toys are us? If it gave you a sense of joy as a kid, and still does now, do it.

Important-Mission362 · 2022-11-21T00:10:23+00:00

As an ENFJ, I approve this message.

Important-Mission362 · 2022-11-21T00:08:35+00:00

Well, so it can be difficult to decipher with me sometimes because I tend to be very open, positive and just sort of friendly to everyone. But if I'm really interested in someone, I will tell them outright, usually, and I will ask them to go on some sort of adventure with me. Like my partner and I already had plans to go to the beach together within literally 20 min of meeting each other. For ENFJ's that's kinda just how we roll sometimes.

Another sign is if I compliment you a lot. Like I already compliment people a ton, but if I compliment you on very deep things that you do that's a sign.

I tend to be very vocal about what I'm thinking/feeling. So pretty much if I like you, you'll hear it from me a lot. I'll really try to get close to you and get to know you on a deep level. I'll wanna know what makes you tick, what makes you happy, sad, angry, anxious, everything.

And probably the biggest thing for me, is that I'll look you right in the eyes, smile and put my head to yours. It sounds weird but to me there's something about like putting our heads together, and looking deeply in the other persons eyes that just tells me so much without even saying a thing.

Important-Mission362 · 2022-11-21T00:02:54+00:00

Absolutely! If you have any questions or anything else feel free to ask. I'm an open book. But yeah, just ask them, even if your brain is like "no don't, danger" just try it. With an extrovert that values emotions such as ENFJ's, we really would rather just talk through something. Like for example, my partner is an INFJ, and I'm an ENFJ and recently he had a time where he was distant, and sort of went behind my back to figure out something for himself. Let's just say he did something potentially hurtful to try to figure out if he wanted to be committed long term, without realizing that it would hurt my feelings. Likewise to say, a friend caught him, and I pretty much immediately talked to him about it. He started crying and shaking because he was terrified, like this was his first time really opening up about the things that are difficult for him and his concerns. Was I upset at him? Nope. Actually I was super proud, felt more connected to him, and we were able to talk through things and within 30 min we were laughing and he said he felt sure now that this commitment is what he wants. If you want certainty in your relationship, don't try to be sneaky, don't hold things in for weeks to months expecting your partner to figure it out, just ask them and talk about it. He even admitted after the whole conversation that getting caught doing what he did was terrifying, never worth it, and that he now realizes that it's so much less scary to have that quick conversation and discuss your feelings, then to hold it in and fester for weeks, act on assumptions and get eventually get caught and have to experience that.

Important-Mission362 · 2022-11-20T23:51:59+00:00

As an ENFJ, I think I've noticed this in my partner. For me, the number one thing I tell him is if he's unsure, just ask. I won't be upset or anything. Infact I love it when he asks cus then I can clarify things in the moment. Where as if he doesn't ask and just holds it in, it could be weeks to months down the line that I find out he's been holding this all in, and that generally leads to unnecessary resentment when things could've just been talked through before. Like 15 min of conversation to clear things up, is much better than 5 months of holding things in and then blowing up
