I'm bumping this thread because I am curious as heck.

I seem to have this habit of getting involved in sticky emotional affairs with INFPs and I want to get to the bottom of it!!!

Me three. :rofl1:

You guys are (in my eyes) what I would be if I wasn't carrying so much baggage around, I see alot of my good points magnified in you and it has the effect of capturing my interest pretty quickly.

My brother who lives with me is an ENFP, and I adore having him around me.

It has less to do with you than with them. Fi by its nature gravitates towards intense emotion which already places one in a potentially sticky position. It is also the function that tends to be divorced from reality the most. (Unlike Fe, out of tune with the real world and that of social sensibilities) For such reasons, a complicated mess is often resultant.

Me too. I wish I was an ENFP sometimes.

I'm another one who wishes I was a ENFP at times. Actually, I swear I become one when I get drunk (mildly drunk that is - when appallingly drunk I'm something else entirely). I start displaying a lot of ENFP characteristics - its very weird. Then I wake up the next day and feel embarrased because I'm absolutely certain I made an idiot of myself. Then I know I'm back to INFP :D

Exactly. We're just too ADD to be overly concerned with the fact that we make idiots of ourselves. All the time.

I don't think you're idiots. :) What I meant was that as a INFP my natural state is to feel like an idiot most of the time. And its a rather unrealistic view of myself - I'm pretty sure no one else notices. When I go ENFP I don't care. I talk to people that normally scare me, I dance like a maniac, I ask deep and probing questions of the people around me with intense interest, I want to hug everyone I care about and I tell people what I really think of them (only the good stuff though - compliments etc). It's like living without all the paralysing inhibitions of being an INFP. And what a fantastic way to live it is.

And BTW foot-in-mouth syndrome is also such a INFP thing to do :D

The ENFPs I've known online have been fantastic. As far as I know I've only known one ENFP in real life. He says he's an ENFP. I don't like him. That hardly works as a fair jugement of all ENFPs and I think he's weird anyway. I'm going to say that overall I like ENFPs. ^-^

You must have known some pretty unhealthy INFP's, SW. Plus I think you secretly like us and are fascinated by us. :hug:
