I don't know what type I am. (again). I've lost all vision.


I do more moping and sulking and spending time being emo than I would think most ENFPs would do.

I'm more social, expressive, talkative, and goofy than I would think most INFPs would be like.

I'm a strong type 4 Enneagram.

I feel better after I talk about some things, but only with those close to me. I keep a lot of stuff on the inside. I don't let myself get too passive agressive. I have mood swings. I'm a loner..but I do have quite a few friends. But none that I actually connect to on a philosophical/spiritual level.

I don't think I could ever express my deepest feelings and thoughts to anyone other than my dad, or a significant other.

Sorry to start this old drama up, I've been debating for a few months.

I'd like to think of myself as an ENFP.

:hug:

Well, there's the old question...are you primarily energized by being with others or by being alone?

YES.

I now that makes it seem clear, but it's still really confusing to me.

I guess what I'm saying is there are a lot of things I have in common with both types, and then equal amounts of traits I don't have in common. Then again, I may be perceiving ENFPs falsely, I don't think I know any other ones.

What do I come off more as?

I have a really close ENFP friend and while we were teenagers she was moody and wanted to be alone during her moodier moments. I don't know you but I get an ENFP vibe from your posts.

Ne dominant doesn't seem like a stretch at all for you, then again, your Fi is definitely very present.

It seems that a lot of NFPs have trouble figuring out which one they are. Maybe some of the ones that have been in that type-limbo would be able to help you.

Yeah. I thought I was an INFP for the longest time, then Lady X and Blackcat kind of guided me into what they thought I was, an ENFP, and it fit. Up until now.

Too true... You could be an INFP I suppose.

Being young doesn't make things any easier. But I wouldn't worry about it. Your type will probably be clearer once it's not obscured by the "joys" of being an teenager (especially one with a feeling preference, oy vey).

I think ultimately, this is probably what's going on.

FUCK ADOLESCENCE. EVERYTHING ABOUT IT SUCKS.

Relax and chill. You are an INFP.

Exactly. I think being younger is difficult in every way. I will also say that my same ENFP friend was much more comfortable around close friends as opposed to groups when she was younger. Now she has a very public job and she loves being around people most of the time. She just had to outgrow her teenage self.
