Okay lately (maybe because I am single at the moment?), I am overpowered by the need to nurture and care for someone. I keep looking enviously at mothers with their babies, but I am only 18! I just want to love and take care of someone right now.
I don't necessarily mean in a childbearing capacity, but something meaningful. I thought maybe it's because I am so self-absorbed and want something bigger than myself. First of all I doubt I am that mature yet anyway. Secondly, I have close friendships, I volunteer and I am close to my family, so it's not like I engage in mindless self-indulgence all the time.
I have this INFP friend (who thinks he is an INTP, but that's another story) and lately I have just been trying to be the best friend to him and probably smothering the poor guy. I have been constantly hugging him, speaking to him even more kindly, trying to be a better confidante, etc. He looks confused but hasn't directly said anything. I kissed my mom the other day (I never kiss my mom) because I was so happy to see her!
My overwhelming desire to love those close to me lately is making me engulf them in a tidal wave of attention.
I know it sounds funny to be worried about a surge of love, but I feel different!
Am I not an ENFP anymore? Was I ever?
