I'm An ENFP. I WANT TO SAVE THE WORLD. I am in constant pain from taking people's problems on myself. I do try and help the people around me as would any of you. It's to the point where my istj thinks it's unhealthy how much I want to help people and make their lives better.
I mean I dunno. Things are great but in worried I will miss having to work so hard for something unattainable. I'm not saying I don't have to work hard to find another movie because believe me I do. It's just that my big picture outlook is gone and that scares me.
So no enfp can relate??
here we go. yes, i can totally relate to the bolded. a similar sceanario of "finishing" the big picture happened to me and i basically fell into low grade depression for a year!
i'm just on the upswing out of that... the solution for me really has been to make new dreams. i've realized through my life that unless i'm working towards some large scale future plans, the ENFP sparkle just isn't there.
recently i've taken on sort of "updating" my life... trying to recenter around who i am and what is really important to me. you and me as 3 and 6 probably share some similar tendencies to not always act on our very own individual concepts of who we can be, because we're concerned about who we should be... i think trying to differentiate those and risking losing others' favor has been part of this for me at least... and just littler active things like cleaning out my whole place, working on getting a new job, totally reforming my eating and exercise, planning on moving in the next year or so, starting journaling, starting painting again, and going to a new church. i'm privately thinking of it as a little personal renaissance
i'm thinking, could you maybe start getting involved in a humanitarian group? i don't know if you'd be able to channel that into your job, but you could do it in addition. and maybe eventually figure out a way to combine the two? i'm happiest when i'm pulling everything together, hence that thought...
though i think especially with e3 you should give yourself some extra leeway in terms of letting yourself just relax and be happy from time to time!
i'm sorry you're going through this. for me it was a really unpleasant time... but i think i came out of it much the better. i don't know that i would have had this new energy if i hadn't "stagnated" for a while first.
