[ENFP] ENFP-ENTP friendships

[Rachelinpa]

ENTPs where arreee yooouu?! I like what I know. I find that we operate on similar tracks and jump around together. It's super fun and CRAZY!

 

[Xellotath]

I love my ENTP's.
They can totally keep up with us!

entp + entp tends to quiet us down.
It's like two intps a bit on the crazy side.

About enfp and entp it really depends on
1. How much the entp is willing to invest and understand the enfp's emotional approach and needs.
2. How much the enfp is willing to let the entp be and feel independant.

 

[Amargith]

Oh..that's odd. Do ENFP's make you feel constricted? Considering our own need for freedom, it would be odd to restrict someone elses freedom.

 

[Mondo]

I don't know many ENFP's (however, I'm willing to concede that some of the people I've typed as ESFP could be ENFP, but I doubt it).. however, the ones on Typology Central are awesome-

What I'd like to understand is the difference between the enfp that often feel like hitting me with a stick (no hard feelings at all amarg: P )
and those who like me kinda more. This isn't an issue at all for me by the way, I mean, I don't need to be liked but rather to be the center of attention for lack of a better 'word'. In a 'bounces ideas back and forth dynamic.

I think it's centered about the way I act all crazy, because on a forum i'll go for crazy ideas far more, while irl I'd focus on what's going on or at least associate my crazy ideas to something a bit more relevant, ... in theory.

well...just discovered miss amargith has a much stronger f than me...so...that may be something...spectrum ??

my f/t is balanced and have tested enxp before so i don't think i'm easily offended but i can be.... i am an an enfp...and there's certain things that'll flip my switch, for sure.

 

[Amargith]

Oh but it's fun to prod, poke and hit you with a stick

You're overestimating how much I wanna beat you with a stick, though, Eck. I have no problem with you. The diff is that Erin enjoys your type of humor more than I do. I can appreciate it, but it's not my thing. I have plenty of friends just like you though on this area that I'm very fond of

 

[Lady_X]

^^ yeah...and there is that.

Who says you're the only one who enjoys some free poking

I'm just exploiting every occasion to make people 'react'. The entp trick seems to be learning to balance how much we actually want to see pretty things bounce all over the place and how much we're willing to see people back away because of that

I'm posting this here for an ENFP perspective, since I'm an ENTP.
I feel these two types work very well together as friends. I seem to balance the feeling of my ENFP friends with a bit of rationality, along with offering a plotting mind for our crazy schemes, and the ENFPs seem to instill me with the zesty enthusiasm that they ooze. The issue I see is that we can both be manic, and end up going way overboard in our endeavors(not that it's not fun while it lasts!). I love the whimsy of ENFP's, and I often get behind it with all my enthusiasm.
Another dynamic I've noticed is our mutual love of interesting experiences/stories, which ENTP/ENFP people all seem to be loaded with.
ENFP's also keep in check my tendency to be overly annoyed by irrationality, and keep things fun and light, which ends up being more fun for all involved. They make me less uptight.
Feel free to share thoughts, experiences, whatever crosses your mind.

Makes sense..

When Targo (ENFP) and Oberon (ENTP) would get together here on the forum, things just got... out of control...


(... it's always a little dizzying when you put together two types that have no sense whatsoever of boundaries. )

There are exceptions..If everyone was typed exactly the same things would get so boring I think and not very refreshing.

I really like my ENTP friend (I forgot she was ENTP heh!) but sometimes it's hard to feel "close" to her. She is a blast and fun and I love how things roll off her back. But I really haven't figured out what makes her tick. It takes so much longer for me to get to know a T even though I love the interaction.

 

[Lady_X]

^^ me too...love them but yeah.

You can't "see" us.

 

[Tiny Army]

My ENTP and I are great friends because we leave each other alone for extended periods of time. We have deep conversations and intensive hangouts. Then I go back to my thing and he goes back to his. Weeks pass. We do it again.

 

[Ardea]

fo real

 

[dga]

my ex is an enfp. we dated for a couple years and remain the best of friends. lotsa fun, but we always talk around each other if it gets too intense.

 

[maerzhase]

This couple might be a bit impractical in the long run. Both of them hate details and routines.
