But but do you feeeeel like an enfp or an intj

'Feeling' like has nothing to do with being that type.

They're so totally different. It can't simply be a fault of not understanding functions... Can it?

In my opinion, it can and is.

INFJ/ISFJ in my experience are the most "shy", but that's entirely subjective and based upon no study or systematic evidence.

Well our type is generally more quiet, but yes there are lots of shy IXFJs. There's even shy extroverts like ENFPs or ENTPs.

INTP or INTJ because they're type 5. They have high anxiety.

Introverted /= shy. Introverts can be shy, but one does not guarantee the other. I'm definitely an introvert, but I have no problem with public speaking, or talking to strangers. Most of the INTxs I know are the same way. They just need alone time to recharge afterward.

As for the high anxiety thing, I don't know where you would get that idea.

IxFx types would probably be the most likely to appear shy or meek; whether they actually are more likely to be shy I can't say.

I don't know if I am shy, but if you give me anti-anxiety meds I am pretty outgoing. It's highly probable that I am not neurotypical though, so being INTP may not have much to do with it.

No. I'm not a type 5 and I'm not shy. I have a people and socializing limit every day and I need time to recharge.

I'm as introverted as you can get, but anxiety is absolutely a limiting factor.

I'm painfully shy if I find myself in a social situation unwillingly, though I'm quite quiet even among friends. I'm not bothered too much by public speaking if it's on a subject of which I'm knowledgeable.
