'I think one of the weakest points for ENFPs is their hyper-emotionality, and this has been a major problem for me in the past. But I think an awesome thing is that if we are able to mature in a...
I have another embarrassing question to ask: When you guys write a consequential letter, is it common for you re-read it multiple times before sending it, and then read it multiple times even after...
That seriously cracked me up. :) I think it was Sarah Arminell who also said she's in love with Disney tunes? Is it true that we now have 3 members here who enjoy singing Disney tunes that are...
I added that one to the list too! I had never heard of it before. Are you familiar with Thinking, Fast and Slow? https://smile.amazon.com/Thinking-Fast-Slow-Daniel-Kahneman/dp/0374533555/ That...
Thanks for sharing! I've never heard of those books before, but I added it to my todo list to look them up. :) My old INFJ friend that I mentioned in the other thread used to work with children too.
I love love love love LOVE singing! I sing everywhere, and at any time. I sing shamelessly in the car, such that when anyone peeks into my window they have a concerned look on their face (as if I'm...
It's fun to share music! I had never heard of this guy before, but it sounds cool. I usually like trippy/spacey music, but I'm not familiar with the current electronic/trance stuff. Isn't it too...
That's all really interesting! I'm not educated on the topic, so I don't have much to add. It's interesting though how much a society's culture affects how the kids are raised, which in turn ends up...
That sounds very stressful to have to move like that! Are you handling it well? Are you happy to be done with university? College was fun for me, but I don't feel like I learned very much. It...
That's some really interesting stuff. I've never heard before that men are only allowed to show pride and anger, and I've never heard that as a reason why there are way more men in prison. Very...
I think I would agree with you about the harming-image vs cheating thing! I don't think I've ever thought of that before. Yeah, I think all my life I've felt pressure about hiding my emotions...
Thanks for the answers about the love thing! That's nice to know that you guys can relate, and also that many other types can have such strong feelings for their friends. Also it's nice to know that...
Do you ever think you feel so much love for your non-romantic friends, that it's very similar to how romantic love feels? Do you think that would be considered normal for ENFPs, since we're usually...
I think I would only do that if someone is too dangerous, too annoying, or if they waste my time too much.
I can relate with your story, and I thank you for sharing it, and thanks for your kind words. I think I just realized that the reason I'm feeling cautious around my other friends isn't because the 1...
You ever get stabbed in the back by a close friend, and then it makes you feel cautious around all your other friends? I wonder how long it takes to lose that feeling of vulnerability.
It's interesting, because it's like you're going through the same stages that I went through when I was younger, including the mix of both period. I wonder if there's a correlation with...
I just always need someone to tease, and so far you've been the best candidate. When another candidate comes along, I'll split it in half. :) Speaking of which, here's another question: Are you...
Out of curiosity... is it implied that when you specify Female in the thread title, that less-appropriate sex-related stuff would be discussed here? Is that how it would be different than the...
My ENTJ friend likes hugs too! I was surprised about that, and I wouldn't have expected that from them. He's married and we're not gay. It's especially funny that he likes hugs because he reminds...
Spirituality stuff was definitely one of her favorite topics too, and as I understand it that's common for INFJs. It's interesting that your first post on this thread (if I'm remembering correctly)...
I had a really good INFJ friend that I had met online on a random science/health forum a few years ago. She was a sweetheart. We used to write long emails to each other every day, and sometimes we...
That's really interesting! That sounds like a good lesson for me to remember. I'm kinda in limbo now, so I'm not sure what's going on. But when my story becomes more clear, I'll come back to...
I know I already hit Thanks and all, but I just wanted to say that I'm impressed by how mature you sound. :)
O Music... where would I be without you? <3 <3 <3
Please allow me to give you a friendly suggestion, since you seem to be bent up over something: If your purpose is to proselytize for your religion, then you're free to start a new thread, and you...
Have you had experience with starting your life over from scratch, leaving your life behind and starting a new beginning? How does it make you feel? Could you discern certain stages throughout the...
I agree! True love definitely requires sacrifice, and without sacrifice there can't be true love. If you don't mind me asking, what is your native language?
If I was ashamed, I wouldn't have said that I am a Christian.
I will answer your question, though. I have a pet peeve against some atheist religious fanatics (you know the type...), some of which I've seen on this forum, and I find responding to them to be a...
Did you seriously just ask someone why they feel uncomfortable discussing a certain topic in public? Lol! That didn't happen, right? :laughing:
You tryin' to give me tendonitis? You want me to wear braces on my index finger for the rest of my life?! :laughing:
Does anyone else here have an ENTJ best friend? I'm ecstatically happy about how much this guy is helping me get out of an extremely difficult situation, and it's like he never gets tired of...
Where's the Any option? IMO the best partner is the one you love and the one who loves you.
AdroElectro: I would've loved to respond to your wonderful and thoughtful post, and it includes some of my favorite topics, but I haven't been feeling well enough lately to do a lot of thinking. ...
Well, if you like ENFPs, you should hang out more on this forum/thread. :) You sound like a warm person, and it's fun to have warm people around.
I would say I'm open-minded to everything, and I never outright dismiss something as crazy unless I study about it in-depth, and perhaps unless I even practice it myself. I have changed my mind...
I still have some posts I wanted to respond to, but I'll have to get to that when I have more energy. I just had a simple question which seems to be a major issue in my life. It's a series of...
Your writings are definitely above average here. I think as long as someone is average or above, they have nothing to worry about. :) Yeah, it sounds like you're a super good kid. Your parents...
I'm glad it sounds like you're having a good time with it! I bet it makes a lot of difference in stress levels if the kids are healthy vs sick. I know that even if I have a sick cat it stresses me...
I wouldn't want a completely different world. I would love to go back in time about 2,000-3,000 years, and live somewhere in seclusion (somewhere where the temperatures are moderate), where it feels...
AdroElectro: I frequently contemplate those things too (especially when I was younger). The thing I could never get out of my mind was that if I was born with a different face (let's say I instead...
I am, and it has been extremely helpful for me. But it's not something I feel comfortable discussing on a public forum.
If you don't mind me asking (since there doesn't seem to be a lot of parents on here, and I'm usually interested in the topic): Do you find it difficult/stressful to take care of kids, or is it...
Do you guys get super emotional when you don't sleep enough? Do you think all types are like that, or do you think that ENFPs are more likely to get overly emotional when tired?
Do you guys ever wonder how many lurkers might be reading a thread like this? Yesterday I was curious about it, so I noted the number of page views on this thread after my last post. Now, 16 hours...
I always wanted to read Oliver Sacks' stuff, but never got to it. A few years ago I was very interested in studying about mental illness cases like that, but I think I've had my fill for now. I think...
Keep the Aspidistra Flying sounds interesting! The next Orwell book on my list was Down and Out in Paris and London, but also I'd love to read Animal Farm some day. No, I haven't read The...
This cracked me up too much! The real question is: Did she do it on purpose, or are you just seeing private parts everywhere? :laughing:'
