Diplomats ENFP

Enthusiastic, creative and sociable free spirits, who can always find a reason to smile.

'An ESFP pulled this move on me and I never forgot him! He was always so much fun to be around, going on crazy adventures and trying to invite me along. When I didn't reciprocate his interest right...

Make yourself scarce and she'll start to develop the hots for you.

I'm always a bit surprised to hear you rave about INFJs, @Tridentus. :happy: My hunch is that they get along better with a certain Enneatype of ENFP. To me, they've always become grating eventually...

Okay, sure! Opposite functions create a lot of conflict. We have the same functions, but their order in our functional stack is flipped, so we both look at each other and think they're doing it...

Any type combination is possible... ...except ENFPs and ISTJs. Sorry, I had to. :crazy:

You're overthinking it! :tongue: People do things for all sorts of strange reasons. Best to take them at face value until you know the person better.

I don't like texting. You lose so much of your personality and risk being misunderstood when you're writing your thoughts down. Hard to convey that goofy charm that we have as clearly in written...

You sound pretty self aware re: your confidence issues. Thanks for sharing your insights here. What you said about how one's family influences development of self-esteem makes a lot of sense. I hope...

If I'm super comfortable around a guy, we're definitely just friends. Some other ENFP women seem to be okay with best buddy types of relationships with guys, and she might be one of them, so maybe...

This, exactly.

There are plenty of coldly realistic ENFPs. Welcome to the club. :happy:

We are so similar! I love what you said about being self-critical. It's so, so, SO true, and definitely something I'm working on. Having Fi-Ne can be pretty torturous sometimes. It gets tiring! You...

You're welcome. Hm, well, it doesn't matter what I think. :wink: The opinions of a bunch of strangers about this woman's feelings aren't going to make a difference as to the outcome of you asking...

ENFPs aren't typically big texters (well, maybe younger ENFPs are - I'm in my 20s) so the fact that she texts you back at all is a good sign. Frankly, I don't initiate with people I'm not interested...

I'm the same way. :happy: The vibe of a place is so important! However, people are an equally important factor for me. Hmm, you are bringing up more to chew on...

I think people prize loyalty because during relationships, there can be highs and lows, and it's not worth investing your time and emotional energy in someone who's gonna bail on you when you hit a...

Very interesting! Ne and Se could not be more different, although they look very similar on the surface. I'm guessing you're an ENFP!

I like the ISTP in my life. He's super independent just like I am. He doesn't overwhelm me with his emotions, which is a relief since I'm frequently just trying to deal with my own! I think...

Many xNFPs are artistic, so we are we are very sensitive to stimuli - shapes, colors, aromas, tastes... just because we lead with Ne doesn't mean we can't tap into Se. :happy: I engage with Se often...

Good for you! What a great field. Getting your PhD is definitely as challenging as med school. Your Te must be on point! If you ever decide to teach, you might be like that cool ENFP psych...

Same. I think the NFP smile is the kind of smile where you're not smiling too much with your eyes or the rest of your face - it's more limited to just your mouth area. I have to work to make my eye...

I've missed the ENFP forum. Such a positive place! Been hanging out on Student Doctor Network this past year and as interesting as it is, there's a serious lack of ENFPs. Place is overrun with TJs...

You can't share your awesomeness with the world without Te. An ENFP without Te with picks up projects and leaves them half finished, never profiting from their efforts or feeling the satisfaction...

[i carry your heart with me(i carry it in] BY E. E. CUMMINGS i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart) i am never without it(anywhere i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done by...

I attract quite a few ISTPs (they love us ENFPs! :happy:) and the one thing I try to get them to understand is that I don't do well with social signals that point to rejection. If I sense you don't...

Draw up a daily schedule and loosely stick to it. Become best friends with your planner book. You will accomplish many more of your goals during the day and consequently, will feel much more...

Don't forget ISTPs and ESFJs. ;)

Medicine certainly needs more ENFPs. We are one of the ideal doctor types because of our critical thinking ability and strong interpersonal skills. Medicine is full of ISTJs and ESFJs, so ENFPs...

You write very eloquently. Clearly you have highly developed organizational skills for an ENFP! Congrats on your career success. I like what you said about people-oriented work being so...

Ne is totally geared towards Physics. My xNFJ friends loved Chemistry. I rocked at Physics, so we'd help eachother out.

Sounds healthier than an ice cream addiction. :tongue: I suppose it's not good to work out to the point of experiencing pain. Do you still do that?

BFFs with an ISTJ? Interesting! It's great you have adapted to eachother's differences. I suppose if you find the right ISTJ you can get through anything together. :)

What makes you think ENFPs can't become engineers? Any type can become an engineer. MBTI doesn't determine aptitude and talent. I know a few ENTPs who love engineering; they prioritize Sensing in the...

I looked up that flavor, and it sounds amazing! The crunchy texture mixed in with the gooey, sweetness... ::drools:: Haha, I miss Ben and Jerry's, but I don't miss being chubby and unhealthy. I'll...

Oh man, Ben and Jerry's is totally addictive. I was eating a whole pint for breakfast at my lowest point. That's 1,400 calories. And yeah, it is expensive! Something like $6/pint now.

This post brought back a lot of memories for me. Your description of never feeling quite full and always wanting 10 more candy bars after the first one is heartbreakingly accurate. It's not a fun way...

You and I are quite similar with our love of foods. Sweets, in particular, are my crack. What you said about pizza and ice cream resonates with me as well. The unfortunate thing about binge eating...

^^Great tips for ENFPs, too. It's a Ne thing! Ne-somnia.

Update: The ENTP male who made me want to start this thread is apparently into polyamory. He basically wants to have sexual and romantic relationships with multiple women, and his gf is apparently...

Love tall guys who appreciate tall women! We may not be cute, but we can be elegant. :wink:Fortunately it seems like at age 25+ a lot more men start appreciating tall (5'11, specifically!)...

Big biceps, blue eyes, muscle shirts, chiseled abs, and a strong jaw line. Extra points if he asks me to twerk for him. He must have every single quality on this list, plus be a millionaire and a...

I love how you phrased that. It's a very Fi way of viewing the issue. Fi embraces the shades of gray and eschews labels. Label almost seem trite. They can also trivialize the issue by simplifying it...

ISTPs are sexy! The one ISTP I made out with was by far the best. kisser. EVER. :proud:

INFJ's can be really cool and insanely attractive! Y'all are so analytical and deep. Your eyes are usually pale in color and super piercing. The sexiest eyes I've seen have been INFJ eyes. One...

It's good to be picky. I'm picky, too. Gotta have that emotional connection. :happy: How do you think demisexuals should be treated?

Lol'ing right now. I feel so old reading about all of those labels and whatnot.

Isn't that pretty normal? :tongue: I can't be attracted without liking a dude's personality, so I'm demisexual now? Hm. Seems like there's a category (pansexual, asexual, demisexual... ::head...

This explanation exactly what I was looking for. Thanks! ::hands you a gold star:: :happy:

Married to an ENFP? You don't see that combination talked about too often. I bet you two have loads of fun together.

It's fun to see you guys in action. Some of my favorite professors were ENTPs! I may have had a tiny crush on one or two of them... Humble, too. :wink:'
