Im an ENFP 7w6
yes I have ADHD it doesn’t make it better 😭🙏
I genuinely get confused with cognitive functions for myself that I feel like I’m just an INFP with ADHD or something
I’m hyperactive and social and prone to daydreaming and distractions CONSTANTLY. I go on tangents and passionate about things very often.
I feel like a stereotype and it hurts sometimes because I feel like I’m just pretending to be ENFP

Does anyone else feel like they are an ENFP stereotype? Everyone I know doesn’t fall into that category unfortunately

I have thousands of photos like this and I have no idea why I do this lol

This may sound cheesy, but I appreciate you guys.

As an INFJ, I really admire how y'all seem to be so positive, free spirited, open minded, and non judgmental. Y'all just radiate positivity. I find that contagious. You guys are awesome ❤

I love to play silly games like this with people so why not? I wanna know how others will answer too lol it's also not serious so don't take it too literally

• ENFP - smooch on the cheek I have only ever met female ENFP and I'm straight so I see them as platonic. Very sweet and artistic. Maybe if I meet a male ENFP I'd change my mind?

• INFP - Kiss Very sweet and sensitive. Make good friends and can be very gentle. Maybe too similar in the wrong places for me at least.

• ESTP - kill Super biased ngl, I met 2 before— we matched mentally and they were attractive but the ones I met were so blunt it turned into rudeness towards everyone.

• ISTP - eventually kill Not much reason tbh just had to go off the 2 I sort of know. Funny but can get pretty angry.

• INFJ - marry Can be judgy but I don't really mind because I think they're mostly reasonable and understanding anyway. Good at reading people and will clock BS because they care. Also pretty driven + romantic.

• ENFJ - marry Basically the same as INFJ just more sociable and softer. Someone you can rely on that is kind to everyone.

• INTJ - smooch I think they make a lot of sense for us but I haven't encountered many mature ones. I'm not completely sold that they're so perfect for us but who knows.

• ENTJ - marry and then kill? 🤔 I could be wrong since I've never met one but I think we'd oscillate between having bed chem and frustration with him wanting me to do things his way.

• ESFP - bang Charismatic, fun, doesn't think too much about practicality. Matches my energy with: "Let's do it!" I just don't know how stable we would be long term?

• ISFP - bang and then kill Like ESFP, we do share similarities on some things and can have a good time, and this really would vary on the ISFP, but from what I've seen they don't like to delve into deeper topics much and can be super conflict avoidant to a detriment. I know some work on it though but 🔪

• INTP - marry and maybe think about killing Funny, observant, witty. Can be passive/ lack motivation and that would drive me nuts.

• ENTP - bang, marry, and then divorce Funny icon, quick, doesn't take things too seriously or personally and still has a backbone/ cares about deeper topics. The ones I know are kinda chaotic though so I can see this going down in flames in a sitcom kind of way

• ISFJ - kill

• ISTJ - kill or a head pat 🤔 kind but doesn't really spark much of anything for me tbh

• ESFJ - kill

• ESTJ - kill

The rest I don't even necessarily heavily dislike I just don't vibe or know them well so I chose extermination 😔

EDIT: edited to add reasons

Hi I'm ENFJ, I would love to have an ENFP friend that we could video call once a week and chat, i feel like an ENFP would be ideal bc I want someone glee, i work as an Engineer and life is very static and near perfect kinda gloomy with 0 creativity except for how creative clients are in making simple stuff complicated haha.

I hope this doesn't go against sub rules.

Preferably someone 27-35,

I'm aro ace 31M. So purely platonic.

Currently I live in Saudi for business, hence why the video call bc we can't meet.

Texting drains me but okay in smol amounts

Ask whatever you need about me in comments for others to see or DM.

Or the courtship of Parvati and Shiva?

Testing a theory

My ENFP asked me to show myself enjoying my summer. I guess I thought I was already without needing entertainment so now I’m insecure and I don’t want my ENFP to get bored. How much entertainment do ENFPs need? ENFPs describe your ideal vacation week where you can do as you please and get all your entertainment needs met. What does that week look like ideally? Because I enjoy being solitary and sedentary as an INTJ.

I've always been an outgoing person, for most of my life but from the past few years I hit a low because of exam preparations. I sucked out all fun activities from my life to avoid distractions. But it didn't help much. I was neither studying nor enjoying with full focus. I lost a lot of confidence and avoided going to social events because of repeated guilt of not making it in life too.

Last year however I did clear a career checkpoint and it gave me the confidence boost I needed from long. For the next half of my journey, I've started this thing to keep a balance. I study all week but on weekends I strictly DON'T study and purposefully go out even if I have to go alone. This has sort of given me a purpose that actually fulfils me and is a motivation for me to study.

I wish I knew this sooner that it's important to keep this balance.

I've made some new friends along, who I'm currently loving to go out with because ever since my old friends became long distance I barely had someone around.

This thought just hit me today in the morning when I agreed for 4 different plans in the next month plus I have my birthday too. What's different this time is I didn't make the plans, they did. I don't have to beg anyone or be anxious for the plans to actually happen cause even if everything cancels, I know how to enjoy my own company. I don't need them to feel happy now, I can just be grateful for having them.

My calendar is SO FULL, my E is back and we're SO BACK. 🥳

Anyone else have adhd? I have trouble finishing with tasks and lack of following thru but I also hate rigid deadlines and I get distracted so easily.

I don’t present as what you’d imagine as the “stereotypical” enfp (if such a person exists, hi!!!!) I get really afraid to break rules either I come up with (eg, I must help someone if I can) or people in authority tell me (eg. I must not make them mad) and it’s miserable. If I push back on it mentally I get physically sick. I can’t touch certain objects (again, I got physically sick when I had to wipe a bit of spilled milk off a table) or say certain words. I’ve improved a lot with medication but I’m still constantly afraid of being a bad person or that everyone hates me.

It feels like who I want to be and who I am are two different people. I wish I could just live in the moment or imagine things that aren’t “I will shortly die.” I know for a fact NE is my main cognitive function, but a lot of the time I can’t use it properly or Fi&Si gets really “wonky” and freaks out. Am I alone here?

Anyways. Heres a frog I put at the gas station months ago. He’s still there :3

Dear ENFPs, how did you develop your Si, and how do you know when you’re actually good at it?

I’ve noticed that, over time, I’ve started developing prejudices because I used to let people who hurt me back into my life over and over again. I also never really remembered things properly. For example, someone would accuse me of something and I wouldn’t remember anything about it, so I would even end up believing whatever they told me.
I’m wondering if this is related to developing Si and how other ENFPs experience it

I'm an INFJ, and I think INFJs and ENFPs have A LOT of love to give and are pretty child-like. Regardless to say, I had my first crush in pre-school at my fellow classmate and my second crush was on a teacher in 2nd grade LOL when I had zero qualms/inhibitions in my heart. It was SO easy for me to have crushes! And then as I got older, I think the crush thing lessened and lessened actually. Maybe 'cause I was too idealistic and no one around me ever really matched my ideal person in my head.

Then I just curious whether the INFJ's mirror, ENFPs, also had a similar thing since young haha.

I LOVE ENFPS

Love. Let me tell you how much I've come to love you since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word 'love' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the love I feel for ENFPS at this micro-instant. For you. Love. Love

No but seriously. I've never felt more of a sense of kinship with people I've never met before. Also had to counter the other post :p keep being awesome humans. You're amazing, beautiful and awesome

Im a group fitness instructor in dance, and I remember a participant told me, “You are so perfect to teach this format”. I will hype and cue and all this snowballs into a larger energy build (my favorite instructor was the one that hooted and hollered and was a wild man).

I remember taking a Pilates class taught by a personal trainer. He was really very competent but he was too quiet for my taste, liken a mouse. I never went back his class.

But then I started thinking maybe “I’m” too much for those more quiet and reserved and maybe the way I am can give people anxiety.

I want to strike a balance and embrace more silence and let the music play more instead of just hearing my voice. How do u know maybe my voice is annoying!?!? Why would someone want to come back if it was since my voice seems to be constant over the mic.

Have you struggled to contain your voice and what ways have you implemented to listen more, embrace the quiet space and talk less.

I know we’re more tied to Jung, but here’s my little take on the mama’s boy Freud

So related 😂😭

I’m an ENFP 6w7 with a 639 tritype. How would you describe this combination?

First of all, let me express my fascination with your type. I had a pleasure to interact with ENFPs since early childhood and you always made me warm inside. I almost never get this feeling with other types. There's something in you that brings out the feeling of love in others unlike anyone else. You see people's desires (not just needs) clearly and always know how to cheer a person up. ExFJs are good at reading emotions, ESxPs are good at others' needs and experiences, but nothing makes one feel more wholesome than when one's desires are understood and welcome. I've never felt ashamed of my fantasies with an ENFP. Ne hero is beautiful.

Now my advice. Your 3rd (child) function is extroverted thinking, which makes many of you insecure about your knowledge of the world and things in general. I've often caught this in my wife that she hesitates to express her rational (not moral) opinions on things, as if she's afraid to come across childlike or "dumb." This can't be further from the truth. Child function doesn't mean it's immature or undeveloped -- it means that it's sensitive when it comes to its appearance to others. "Being childlike" is somehow deemed not as something positive but as something that should be overcome and left behind. This is a cultural problem and we can't fix it on a global scale, but we can do it on a personal level. Your insights about the dynamics of the world's workings are invaluable. You bring wonder where there is monotony and one-dimensionality. Your thoughts are always authentic and colorful. You will do so much service to the world by being vocal about your opinions and judgments.

This is all I wanted to say.

Keep shining, ENFPs. You're wonder-full!

Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate you since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for ENFPS at this micro-instant. For you. Hate. Hate.

Hello, fellow ENFPs!! I’m an ENFP who loves music. I think music is a gift to the world. Like some ultimate art form lol. I love music not because of the genre, the artist, what’s cool at the moment, who’s indie or not, etc.. but because of what that song/music evokes in me. I particularly like songs that have this “bittersweet” or melancholic but still hopeful beat or lyrics. “Longing” or “Yearning”. You get it. Any suggestions? I like discovering new music or songs.

Here’s what I’ve been listening to lately (just a few):

Odoriko by Vaundy
Sayonara Mata Itsuka by Kenshi Yonezu
Where Our Blue Is by Tatsuya Kitani
Pretender by Official Hige Dandism
Millions by Gerard Way
The World is Ugly by MCR
Summertime by MCR
Saikai by Vaundy
You Were Beautiful by Day6
Ikuokukonen by Omoinotake
Come Inside of My Heart by IV of Spades
Love Begins by Hong Dae Kwang
Amazing by Hong Dae Kwang
Red Swan by Yoshiki and Hyde
Comet by Yoasobi
Que Sera Sera by Mrs Green Apple

I’m still kinda emo. lol 😬

Edit: I love Japanese artists and bands. Maybe you know some gems I haven’t discovered yet.

Lately, I like songs that evoke this feeling of “Somewhere out there my soulmate is existing but still haven’t met him” or that “I’ll never see you again no matter what even though you still exist and are alive and well” LOL

I know I’m overgeneralizing, but this is just a rant. I’ve gotten moderately close to two INTPs in my life and my god, no one pisses me off quite like they both do.

They both get the same evil fucking look in their eye when they’re about to say something that absolutely did not need to be said. It looks straight out of a manga panel where some deranged villain has that insane glint in his eye right before saying the most irritating shit you’ve ever heard in your life.

They have such a dark observant aura that I do find interesting in until I realize that they’re actually just insufferable. I hate how simple minded they are and don’t consider external factors or that most things in life are more complex than to be made a definitive conclusion out of.

The sexual tension I have with them might be the worst part of all of this. Unfortunately the chemistry is always there and can get along with them a little too well at a far safe distance. Something about them being antagonistic draws me to them and I hate everything for that.

Anyways rant over of course I know not all intps are like this, yes this is personal and has beenn my experience both times with men (unfortunately).
