Kinda like an oxymoron if you think about it, but an ENFP told me once....
"If you hate the conventional ideas of leadership, e.g., corporate, or militaristic, you can always have leadership through advocacy of a certain cause"
She made a nice point there, but I wonder if that's easier for her to say because being NFP gives her a good idea about the nation of her passions, which may not come off quite easily for an NTP, even if we may also consider ourselves "passionate", depending on how much we like what we're doing.
For example, she's a lesbian, and it's so easy for her to get involved in gay rights movements or any human rights movement for that matter.
I wish I can involve myself in such similar matters (more identifiable to me, as a male NTP) even if the set-up may appear small.
But I never have so much of that NF humanitarian inclination that NFs normally possess, but I guess the desire to help someone legitimately is there.
Do any of you NTPs here support certain causes and have joined a tangible community for it?
Normally, I do things on much a much smaller scale, like helping NFP friends rationalize their feelings (easy for me to do, with my Ti and all), whenever their Fi consumes them, but that's more of a one on one help than anything.
