Hey guys so I'm having an identity crisis..please help if you can.
Not really, but you get what i mean.
So... I typed as an ENFP and I'm having doubts.
I read about and meet ENFPs in my life and always start doubting who I type as from that.
They talk much faster and process things in general much faster than I do. I am not an "immediate person" and find myself having EXTREMELY slow reaction time to everything. I'm always taking in what people say slower than others and find myself always having to play catch-up. I find myself getting overwhelmed being around those who act stereotypically ENFP-like and get a bit sad because I cannot give them the verbal-sparring or immediacy in my reactions that I know they want. I like to talk about one solid thing for a long while and I quickly get frustrated when people change subjects or talk about something in a shallow manner when I always want to delve in further. I could literally talk about something for hours if I find it engaging enough.
In addition, the self-importance that ENFPs have (not in a negative way) I do not possess. I don't identify with having a vivid personality myself and am usually a chameleon with people. On my own, I am very analytical until I sense that someone is more playful and am able to be charming. But generally I like to talk about theoretical subjects and I like to learn from people and always find it fun to find out a lot of information about people (how they are, where they are from, why they act the way they do).
With theoretical subjects, I find myself not Ne oriented. I've realized that, being a Philosophy major, I am so interested in learning about the essence of what each person said/their ideas but I find it extremely annoying and pointless when people challenge the beliefs, because they are already established and I think that everybody has their own beliefs and they shouldn't view it as something they follow but only as intellectual. (I hope that made sense). I don't enjoy sitting in class hearing people try to prove the theories as incorrect or not valid, I find it much more interesting to just learn about them without putting a direct judgement on the theory. Maybe I'm mixing up what Ne is but wouldn't I not be bothered from that?
I also enjoy things that make me think differently. I enjoy the Twilight Zone/Black Mirror/Forensic Files (basically shows that contribute to my paranoia lol) because they change my outlook on things and make me think. I do not enjoy sci-fi so much on its own if it's not making me think.
I feel like I am definitely not what I think I am. If you need me to answer a questionnaire let me know, I would rather not post a video.
Thanks for the help if anyone decides to answer!
Cheers
