yeah I think I have anxiety issues.... I don't think I would classify it as a disorder just yet. My enfp daughter on the other hand has it bad.

Why do you think she does?

I tend to live more in the future, thinking about what could be, dreaming, and such. they don't tend to be pessemistic thoughts though, more optimistic ones.
I think enfp personality's worries are more about their insecurities than thinking about meeting ends. But that's just my personal penny.

No, not here. The most anxious I get is yeah, like Shen said, more about insecurities than anything serious.

:hug: to Targo and Gretch, though.

I'm prone to mild panic attacks, but I've learned to deal with it. Since it might (and often does) hit at work I have no other option than to suck it up and get over myself even when I'm clawing at my own throat because I can't breathe. I also manage to get nervous to the point of not functioning properly, but I don't think I have any real disorders.

My aunt, ENFP, may have this disorder. I never really thought about it. But the more I do, I think it's possible. She is a bit on that side, but i'm not so sure...i'm not her, so I can't really say.

I had an ENFP roommate who used to wake up with panic attacks in the middle of the night. We chalked it up to too much Starbucks late in the day.

I think I have one, I can not talk in front of people, I have to give a presentation and it's complete. Yet I'm thinking of skipping class I'm so terrified. I don't know of what, and when I try to bring this up people are like don't be. Which makes it worse ugh! I really can't get in front of people without freaking out, I can't relax.

are you sure you're enfp? I go out of my way to be center attention sometimes!

No issues here apart from the occasional muscle spasms... those are the worst! Nothing mentally that I know of anyway!

I've always thought so... I guess there is a chance I could be an I, but I'm really uncertain about it. I've always felt that E fit me 'better', but I like to approach society from the side if that makes sense. The way I gain my energy is by being in a crowd of people who don't know I'm really there. Like an amusement park, or a coffee shop or somewhere like that.

I'm going to chase the theory that it may be insecurities.

I've always thought of you ENFPs as being wild and crazy. But the more I meet more of you ENFPs, you remind me of perpetual preteen girls who are incredibly paranoid and anxious about things. I thought you guys were confident types too until I really get to know you and see how fragile you are. I don't know but there's a big place in my heart that protects fragile types like furry animals and stuff. Like if someone kicked my dog, I smash out his car windows and I fire my gun into their family house as a returned favor.

Aww, man!

Most people get to grow out of that awkward stage, but we have the unique talent of getting STUCK. :doh:
