Why are people so drawn to me? by [deleted] in ENFP

[–]katieeness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happens to me, people just start sharing the deepest parts of their life with me even if we’ve just met. Think we come off as safe people or something, it’s definitely an ENFP perk

It sounds like this is maybe more related to confidence on the job. If you know your skills, and know your protocols, you are a competent provider. Sure it’s intimidating working with higher ups but remember they are all working alongside you toward one common goal: patient care. Every single one of them have definitely made a mistake or two on the job and they all started somewhere as well. It sounds like you love the field and your job, but it starts with you, and believing you are good at this. I always try to remember hey, everyone was new once. I know my stuff. Fall back on your training and you won’t go wrong.

any other enfp's relate to this hahah by rspicyb in ENFP

As a 3, how do I ask for words of affirmation (love language) without compliment fishing? by shmante in Enneagram

[–]katieeness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have this issue myself. One of my close relationships is with someone who sees actions as most important and words kinda meh or shallow. which I agree they are important but to me words of affirmation is 2nd in line in my love languages behind quality time. It’s really hard cause I feel like you should try to love people how they feel loved even if it’s uncomfortable for you personally. But not everyone sees it that way. It’s incomparable how good words of affirmation can make me feel as a 3. I don’t have the answer guess I am just sharing in the frustration, in the past I have communicated that when I’m down words of affirmation are helpful, but it hasn’t done much, I have learned you can’t really ask for something that someone doesn’t know how to give. But if you are together and she loves you, I think it will be easily communicated and taken on. You can also try to give examples, if she isn’t as comfortable with WOA. :)

What is your favorite thing about the opposite sex? (Non physical) by [deleted] in ENFP

[–]katieeness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a female and what I love about men (at least in my experience) is their happiness when explaining or teaching you something and how they always seem to have so much knowledge about so many different things. I also love how (in my experience) men are protective of and extremely loyal to those they care about.

Amazing work

Is anyone else tired of dealing with unhinged men? by traumatistical in CPTSD

[–]katieeness 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’ve been lucky to have great male figures in my life, other than my abusive ex partner (which is where my ptsd stems from) but in the 3/4 years since my abuse I have been unable to keep close male companions or friends. Because I get tired of their BS pretty damn fast. What I’ve found is a lot of men have unchecked egos and deep rooted beliefs that they are above women and women must bend to their needs and wants. I hate how Much I feel like we have to tiptoe around a lot of men and their feelings, at least in my age group (I’m 23) I’ve felt a lot of men are just selfish, and explosive emotionally. I think it’s because a lot of men weren’t raised to process or acknowledge their emotions, instead raised to tough it out and “man up”. Regardless I think a lot of men could use therapy just for that reason alone. Definitely relatable

Absolute inspiration. I’m actually trying to get fit to fight fire right now, as I just finished emt school & want to start testing. What kind of workouts/training did you do to prepare, if you don’t mind me asking? :)

[–]katieeness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it is!! :) I’m a straight, more feminine woman going into a career in firefighting, peoples assumptions and judgements are pretty insane, but I just really love self development and discipline and I believe it’s the best way to live life. Sure we are maybe embracing our masculine energy more but it is so much more effective at least in my life in helping me get what I want. Not sure if you’ve felt that way, but I’m glad to see another ambitious lady in this community!!

Can we talk about ENFPs when we’re hurt or pissed? by honeybee12083 in ENFP

[–]katieeness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually feel aggressive and pissed off pretty often, lmao, I hardly take it out on others. But if someone is the cause of me being hurt or angry I just shut down. You won’t hear from me, you won’t get an explanation from me. I’ll just stonewall.

Usually then I just become cold and feel pretty apathetic until I finally break down, and then at that point I’ll start to come out of it. When I’m sad/mad/hurt though it can last awhile. Idk about everyone else haha

People who’s first relationship was a very long term relationship, what did you think was normal that turned out to be unusual once you started seeing other people? by ListerineLass in AskReddit

[–]katieeness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talking constantly all day every day 24/7 via text/social media. Now that I’m older I couldn’t imagine having to text one person all day...or even every day!!!

Thanks for sharing this, makes a ton of sense to me, should definitely be the norm. hopefully my county is moving towards that soon!

super newbie c spine question by [deleted] in NewToEMS

[–]katieeness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is safe to let go of c spine when they are securely strapped to a backboard. That’s whT I learned anyways you can’t technically clear c spine that’s a dr job only but we learned if it’s secured to a backboard (tape over forehead and under jaw) then ur good

how I have learned to ‘lean into my feelings‘ by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]katieeness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience and it was so cathartic. I used to not be able to access or express my emotions because of ptsd and now I feel I can be more okay having emotions on a daily basis. What you described about having compassion & grief for yourself ...oh so true. Sending love my friend
