Do you dislike your personality?

[NewEra]

I personally love it.

 

[Ardea]

When I graduated, the orator told us that we should be hopeful, thoughtful, hungry for more knowledge, willing to bend, and strong. ENFPs embody these things. It was a eureka moment, and for a while I was beginning to think that such behavior was a downfall instead of a strength.

It took me a while to completely understand myself, but I like mine a lot. I'm always searching for balance and well-roundedness, though, so I recognize that there are things that I strive to improve about myself.

I seem to connect best to people who I feel can help me with those traits that I don't have, such as picking up social cues (ENFJ friend) and savoring the moment (ESTP friend). Likewise, I really want to help them find their place, recognize their strengths, and learn from me as well. That is the aspect of my personality that I like the most.. that I want to improve myself and help others at the same time.

(That's not to say that I'm completely utilitarian when it comes to other people--I just seem to connect to others "through the head" first, and the emotional bond comes next.)

Hm, interesting to see that INxJ and INxPs like their personality best.

Personally, I do. I guess it helps much when you try to make your weaknesses your strenghts and also when you change something about yourself whenever you are unhappy.

I'm curious to see how the poll will look in the "end".

 

[EcK]

I hate it with all my heart.

The things it makes me do
oh the terrible things !

Jury's still out on that one

Jury's still out on that one

I will tell you something.

Make sure that it turns out that you like your personality.
If you take much time to solve this one and in the end it turn out that you don't like yourself, you lose two battles at once.

I am not talking from experiance but from position of common sense.
If you don't like some part that much it is likely that others don't like it much either. Since you are people person after all. So it should not be that hard to get rid of that part.

Unless you don't know what you actually want.

I know you are. You are ENFP.

But I still think that developing more decisiveness would not hurt that much.

 

[Amargith]

I'll make you a deal:

I'll develop more J, if you develop more P

You are the one that is claiming that you have "problems", while I am satisfied with who I am.

 

[Amargith]

Ahh but you assumed it was tied in with decisiveness=> J
Hence, I suggest a barter: You get some of my P and I get some of your J

I was only talking about something that come infront of me not so long ago.

This to be exact

I am curious. Do you really want to change your P or you just think it is a good idea?

I'm trying to find a way to work out the kinks in my P, I guess *grin*
It's a project I enjoy..but never seem to succeed at

That is why I asked. In a way that was a trick question.


Yes, you are trying and trying and you enjoy it is way. But you are not trully interested in solving this one.

Also you have opened a thread about it exactly where no one can really help you, but where someone can relate to you.
This would not mean much if you have a thread just for NFs and a thread for everyone else. But you have only thread for NFs as far as I know.

Even the fact that you are posting winks and jokes to me here are also indicatior if this. I think you have some rethinking to do.


I was playing my cards in a way that I look more playful but I wasn't joking.
(to be honest)

 

[Tigerlily]

Today I can't stand my personality. Most days I am fine, it's others who don't get/like me.

The reason I did post that thread there, was because I'm not looking to change who I am, but actually working with what I have. And I figured that out of all the NFP's here, there are bound to be some people who understand what it is like and have somehow found a way to deal with it...which turned out to be right I wanted to hear from them, as it was a lot more likely that they would deal with it in a way that would be compatible for me as well. (we should stop derailing this thread, but feel free to PM me, if you wanna add something else )

I just wanted to show you the entire thing from a different angle.
I know exactly why you posted it there (I can read).
What I am tring to show you is that you don't want to change yourself and you want to balance your P. What is in a way impossible.
I am only trying to show you why you fail at this over and over again, at least that is what you claim.

My job here is done.
