I'd be curious for the input of ENFPs who are older than me (30 - 40 somethings and up) but also for ENFPs in their mid-to-late twenties...
On one hand, there is a part of me who felt like I had to explore the world and try everything to discover "who I am" and what I really want from life, but there's another part of me who is disgusted by some of the things I did and behaviors I exhibited when I was younger...like I feel I was "too open" in that phase of my life, and that I have a stronger sense of ethics now that I'm older, and I'm using those ethics to judge my younger self. This is strange to me because I once said "no regrets, everything I've done makes me who I am today" and now I want to distance myself somewhat from who I was as a younger person.
On the other hand, I feel like I was more gentle, spiritual, and tolerant in other ways...like maybe I've hardened a little too much (Te?) as I've aged, and it would do me good to be a little more in touch with my Fi in that way again, or was I just being naive?
I guess everyone changes as they grow up, and I'm not even sure where I'm going with this, honestly. The form of a med I take has been recently slightly changed and I feel a bit cloudy headed...
