Yes, it certainly could be. I'm just saying these seem to be fewer and harder to identify as compared to the personal anecdotes. Help me with identifying more. Please?
From what I understand so far:
1. Can be very insensitive to other people's problems/issues.
I'm not sure what to make of the interpersonal issues (expressing this insensitivity inappropriately and hurting people in the process-- if this is more common or isolated. Unclear.
2. Does not listen to others carefully. I can see this being a problem. This is a problem I personally face with other extroverts too.
3. Defensive when criticized.
4. Intrusive.
This is what I have so far. What did I miss?
Seems about right to me. I see it as quite similar to the ENTP problems in that you've got Ne seeming to get along and fit in with anyone anywhere anytime, harmless, funny, zany old Ne that everyone chuckles affectionately at between occasional times when they marvel at how much they underestimated the silly ol' clown.
But then you've got the secondary which is an introverted judging function, meaning that the way we interpret things can be quite individual and not necessarily always chiming in with the way others see things, or see us. And forgetting often to put those judgements in the proper context of how they fit in with other people's points of view and needs.
I find that in my case, the funny, friendly Ne gets me into trouble, situations that require more attachment than Ti can give me, and then suddenly the easy-going, harmless clown turns into the asshole because there's something here he just can't budge on, and it means not being able to accommodate the expectations of me that Ne has created in other people.
Perhaps Fi functions in a similar way for the ENFP. It could be, I'm just speculating, that your friendly Ne clown has created an expectation of much greater awareness of others' feelings and concerns and/or a much greater need to adapt to them than your Fi can supply.
In this respect it could even be that ENTP, surprisingly, might have it easier with people than ENFP, because we've got "smooth it over, stroke the skittish horse and give it a nosebag" Fe bringing up the left flank, whilst all you've got is bullying and impersonal Te. Stick onto the end of that, that both of us are struggling to actually piece together what ACTUALLY happened because our Si is so appalling that we're lost in a sea of our own
interpretations of what happened, and it makes for a bit of a train wreck.
If that speculation's correct, then I don't know who's got it worse - the ENFP who's coming off as a bit of a brat/bully but not caring and considering it everyone else's problem, or the ENTP who's coming off as a bit overdramatic and more attached than they really are, but yet actually quite frustrated and upset by the whole thing.
Did I mention that I was just speculating?? LOL!
