i think your an infp with low introversion and high extraversion
That makes sense to me...
i think your an infp with low introversion and high extraversion
i said the same thing after i joined. i thought i was infp and then asked if i could just be both haha
i still sometimes wonder way down in there if i'm wrong...no clue why.
I'm beginning to think I'm simply a mix or something! I don't like being social most of the time and I feel awkward in social situations, in groups especially. I am more comfortable with strangers funny enough! I have no problem speaking to someone I don't know...but put me in a group of people (whether I know them or not!) and I need a time out! I don't like spending too much time with people...but I do yap about my day or other things on my mind if I feel comfortable with someone. I have to have time to myself or I get cranky and out of sorts. But when hubby needs time to himself, I often wonder if he's mad at me?? *wondering out loud* is it possible to be a mix of INFP and ENFP?
Try not to confuse shyness & introversion. Shyness is social anxiety that may cause someone to find it difficult to speak to strangers or to new people. It's involves a fear or feeling of inadequacy; it's not an energy/stimulation issue.
Being such an expressed introvert, I tend to see "confused" people as extroverts, because introversion seems so obvious to me, especially the contrast of myself with other people. Everyone can get tired after talking awhile or annoyed with crowds, but where is the focus of your mind?
because i question evvverrrything haha
but because i realized that i actually do get high on an energy buzz being around people...have we already had this conversation tho? i feel like i've just said this but anyway...because i write like that ^^^ unfiltered thoughts...i talk like that...think while speaking or writing...and...several people here on my help me figure out my type thread helped....heart said wearing what ought to be on the inside on the outside...haha
really just learning about it more and seeing myself more accurately.
I have finally settled with INFP after being everything else and sometimes I try to describe why I do seem extroverted at times. After some thinking I believe I'm extroverted only when I feel like my parents, or friend thinks I'm sad because I don't want them to worry about me. So I say I'm an Introvert that has learned to deal with people.
I think, if I understand correctly, that the focus of my mind is probably outward. I need the approval of others, so I seek it out. If that makes someone an extrovert, then I know now that I am. (If I'm misunderstanding you, please let me know I'm on the wrong track!)

oh no that wasn't me saying weren't you listening! haha i was really wondering if it was you i just said this to or someone else in some other thread with the same question.
I do have a tendency to miss things that are right in front of me...so I assumed that's what happened lol
let's get all systematic about haha...that doesn't sound like fun but i was going to suggest you tell us what parts of the profile you relate to from each...but that sounds like a lot of work.
i did that in another thread...if I can find it, I will paste it
maybe you should read the other threads on here that talk more about it too?
yeah i don't feel like i need others approval but i need more information and value outside perspectives...i like to ask for advice and then process it alone and decide...but everyone does that i guess...i'm confused about what my point was but i don't think i seek out approval...it's more like you will accept me you punk! cuz...see i so nice n shit or somethin haha
This thread has helped me to decide I am ENFP
this doesent mean that you would be an enfp.
It doesn't? *confused* I would think that INFP's would seek approval from themselves while ENFP's would seek it from others? Isn't that a more extroverted behavior?
