[ENFP] INFP vs. ENFP reasons for needing time alone

[briochick]

wait, what if, like, the pool party sounds fun, but you, like, just want to watch every one and participate every once in a while? *raises eyebrow* and who's bringing the booze?

...Who the hell needs booze when surrounded by fellow ENFPs?!
That's just crazy-talk.

(But alcohol...can be fun )

 

[prplchknz]

boozw I can bring booze tell me what yu want.

 

[briochick]

*counts off on fingers* I have sake, soju, vodka, wiskey, and rum. You want beer some'un else will haf'ta bring it.

(the alcohol is so us i/xNFPs can shuck off that last bit of shyness and act like ENFPs)

 

[scattershot]

(No one answered my plea for me to allow our crazy 'S' cousins along, so you know what? Screw you guys, I'm bringin' my ESFPs in the trunk!)

Whoops...I was too busy stripping and jumping in the pool to answer your question. Hell yes you can bring some ESFPs. You don't even have to stick 'em in the trunk.

wait, what if, like, the pool party sounds fun, but you, like, just want to watch every one and participate every once in a while? *raises eyebrow* and who's bringing the booze?

Umm...so you want to sit there and watch everyone else getting naked in the pool?

*counts off on fingers* I have sake, soju, vodka, wiskey, and rum. You want beer some'un else will haf'ta bring it.

Well, I usually bring at least a 6-pack of my own 'cause I'm a beer snob. I don't drink that much, so I don't want some crappy Bud Light/Coors Light when I do. I'll take care of some of the other..umm...party favors too.

Lol - you guys will need it. I just let the ESFPs in the party too, so we're gonna drive you introverts crazy with all that noise and energy.

whoohoo scattershot...i think we'll get along just fine.

Well, this thread confirms my being an ENFP, even though some people have suggested otherwise *grin*

- To just be flat-out weird and hyper and not have to deal with anyone's reaction to it. This is the one I'm most curious about because it isn't talked about very much. Do any other ENFPs do this? Seems like "alone time" is associated with sitting quietly in your room, but my alone time can be driving fast and singly badly along with my radio or taking an impulsive weekend trip to Vegas.

Couldn't have put it better. This is actually the reason I'm sometimes perceived as an INFP. I try to behave so much in social situations that I appear timid apparently. Then I retreat, go home, and have my boyfriend roll his eyes at me while I bounce of the walls and talk his ears off, tossing out one crazy idea at the time, singing loudly, having a mreow-contest with my cats and what not. The only social event where I feel completely ok with letting out my E fully is when we go to a dance club or karaoke-bar and I can scream along to the music and dance my heart out.

*takes top of head off takes out brain puts in on a table closes head pour drink downs it takes off clothes and jumps in the pool*

having a mreow-contest with my cats

Good to know I'm not the only one who does that.

Me too, especially at work. I had one boss who said I was too quiet and lacked confidence. I almost busted up laughing right in his face, then remembered I wasn't supposed to be a cocky badass at work and stopped myself.

BEST quote in regards to ENFPs:
(In answer to my questioning her blank stare after another one of my long, fast-paced tangents about absolutely everything)
'I'm sorry...I will always think you're wonderful. But sometimes I just DON'T SPEAK fluent insanity!'

--- How an ESTP dear to me occasionally perceives us.

+1

It's only when they push me too far that the E comes out, which then turns me into an incredibly intense emotional mess, basically everything I was trying to keep them from seeing

Alright folks, this is how it's done:

- everyone is feeling fine (not stupid, just fine)
- everyone gets in the pool (warm summer night, pool heated to 82F)
- turn patio and pool lights off
- strip underwater, throw suits on edge
- lights on! LMAO (oh, my A is nekkid tho)
- people who don't comply, get assimilated (you've been warned)

And remember, I've got at least 3 or 4 energetic hours before I need to take a breather, so don't sell us I's short.

And back to the thread:

As a reofficially declared INFP, I can categorically state that I do this too, only I sing well LOL!

I think that is just the crazy side of NFP there! It's always fun when someone pulls up beside you during these moments...when I was younger and shyer I would be SO embarrassed; now I just have a little fun with meself!

'I'm sorry...I will always think you're wonderful. But sometimes I just DON'T SPEAK fluent insanity!'

Lol - that's so awesome.

Not selling you guys short, just thinking about how obnoxious a pool full of drunk ExFPs would be.

It's always fun when someone pulls up beside you during these moments...when I was younger and shyer I would be SO embarrassed; now I just have a little fun with meself!

Yeah, I hate it when someone pulls up exactly even with me at a light. That's why I love driving a truck because I get to sit up higher and most people can't see right in my windows. I had to drive my mom's car for a few months while my truck was broken and it was seriously cramping my style.

 

[PeaceBaby]

Hmm yes, obnoxious ... good point. I would have to retire before that point in the party LOL!

 

[briochick]

1. I nearly fell backward in my chair 2. I have a headache and that sucks because I just woke up 3. Why exactly does my stomach hurt?

Me too, especially at work. I had one boss who said I was too quiet and lacked confidence. I almost busted up laughing right in his face, then remembered I wasn't supposed to be a cocky badass at work and stopped myself.

wait, you're not *supposed* to be an extrovert at work? *sigh* I wish there were more nfps around me. Had the *weirdest* dream last night.....but no one can appreciate it.

Umm...so you want to sit there and watch everyone else getting naked in the pool?

lol, Duh!
