If any of you wonderful ENFPs could help me out, I'd appreciate it. I suspect my protagonist may be an ENFP, but it's hard to tell because of her circumstances, as she is forced to be alone.
Explanation:
All her life, she has had an unfortunate "superpower" type effect on people when they are near her. If anyone comes within a few meters of her, they immediately become afraid/disturbed and want to get away as soon as possible. Her greatest desire is to neutralize this effect. She has never had a friend.
My question is this:
If you, as an ENFP, always repelled people no matter what you did, if you were always forced to be alone, what would you do to cope? And then how would you react if suddenly people no longer hated you and instead began to adore you?
Maybe you have some examples of similar experiences, though maybe less extreme. Maybe you went through times of having no friends? Times where a majority of a group disliked you? Suddenly you became popular? What did you do to cope, and how did you behave? Or maybe you just know yourself well enough to get a good idea of how you'd cope. Either way, let me know your thoughts. They will help me decide whether my protagonist is realistic as an ENFP or if she is another type altogether. Thanks.
P.S. My protagonist also has a very strong faith in a higher power. If you're religious at all, feel free to use that in your explanation.
