[ENFJ] Enfjs and their chameleonic side

[Riverfairy]

Before I typed myself properly - I typed as various other types. Aaand they were my friend and family's types.....

Mine I found digging deeper. And I'm definitely ENFJ.



Sooo, what are your thoughts on the change-abillity of the social output of enfjs? Do you think aids or challenges them socially?



...I know for some it can feel like it's inauthentic.. But, I think there's a difference between not knowing who you are and not acting like who you are all the time.

Because 'who you are' is a superficial construct when thinking of the 'act of being alive' which isn't conditioned by a 'personality' really.

I agree, I act different around different people but that is nothing I even think about or try to do on purpose. I guess that I just pick up the other persons style/vibe and then I go along but I´m always still me.

Well ok...sometimes if i´m having a few drinks with people I just met or getting to know (friends of friends) I can find myself starting to imitate their hand gestures, accent and facial expressions-then it´s time to stop and go home LOL.

I hate inauthenticity, I really do. But I don't think that my chameleon-like ways make me inauthentic. I don't reveal all of myself to everyone, even though I am probably much more prone to share personal experiences with random people than others are. So, I don't see it as really changing, I look at what I do as limited revelation.
