Are you a esfp catholic?

Just to let you know, I tried Ur my type app and found it rife with scammers. If they ask you to go to a different messaging app, REFUSE! They try to get you to go to Google chat, telegram, whatsapp, etc. I had higher hopes for this site, but was contacted by only scammers.

Why do you think I want to meet more people? Is there an app for making the other humans in your life disappear?

There's a few ones I legitimately laughed out loud. ENTP, ISTJ... even mine: INTP.

This message is INTJ approved. ;)

Middle aged INTP here. I WISH I could believe people's feelings weren't relevant. The best I can come up with is that their feelings aren't germane to the topic at hand and it shouldn't be my responsibility to dance around to avoid hurting their feelings... but other than NTs, few other types seem capable of debating under those guidelines, so I'm stuck in a world of feelers and have to keep myself restrained. I can't help but care about their feelings, even when I find them absurd and inconvenient. I often wish I was an INTJ...

Can confirm my ISTJ mums catch phrase is exactly that… I’m an enfp- and that explains a lot

@@Meg_intheclouds I'm sorry on the ISTJ mom ---> Also has an ISTJ mom and grandma. I may, as an INTJ, not believe feelings are important to finishing a project or facing a crisis, but they are important some times.

@@jenniferhanses7064 yeah I get that! My grandma is an ISFJ but tends to be of the belief that individuals feelings should be put on the back burner for the general feelings of the group. She would say things like “but they feel sad so that should make you feel sad”- or “that should make you angry” or “you should be happy for them” and I’m there like “I can be happy for them and acknowledge their success but it doesn’t change how I am feeling in this situation which is jealous and ashamed that I couldn’t do the same, both feelings can exist at the same time” which Is such an fi thing but the fact they are feeling a certain way doesn’t change because I’m feeling something and vica Versa. And then my mum is just straight up “your feelings are irrelevant” when to me my feelings are the most real and tangible thing to me more so than fact

Middle aged INTP here. I never thought I was any "smarter" than my instructors, being acutely aware that my knowledge of any particular subject was incomplete. It just became increasingly clear that they didn't know as much as they thought or pretended to know. Their knowledge was often as limited as my own, and sometimes even MORE limited. Back before the internet caught on, I spent a VERY brief time in community college before dropping out. One of my teachers tried explaining the Monty Hall Problem (although he didn't use that name), as it had always fascinated him and he didn't quite understand the math behind it (and he was teaching a math class). I wasn't familiar with it at that time, but I was able to solve it in a few seconds in my head. I stayed after class and walked him through it as politely as I was able. We're all ignorant. It's just that some of us are ignorant in areas where we have no business being ignorant and still expect other people to respect us for having silly letters after our names or having a high paying job.

@@jimclayson NERRRRRRD! But seriously, you're right, I was exaggerating XNTP impressions for humor. Your deep dive here highlights what I was lightly touching on: XNTPs don't respect titles, they respect knowledge.

@@PeterJohnson-rh5hi "NERRRRRRD!" Me: Guilty as charged. 🥸👍 Totally right, though, about knowledge versus titles. Seeing the Peter Principle in effect for decades can leave one disillusioned toward established hierarchies.

So true.

@@jimclayson people are teachers because they care about students, not because they care about the subject. I mean... that's a generalization though. Lol

Also I'm loving your screen name in combination with this story 🤣

@@hauenluu wouldn’t be surprised if it happened to them at some point lmao

how did you get down? or did your parent/teacher found you?

This is a really epic story though 🤣 I tended to wander, too. But quietly, like an oblivious ninja, inducing panic to to all the adults around. Once they had to shut the entire zoo down because I disappeared, turned out I was just alone feeding the peacocks 🤷🏼‍♀️ My mom made me wear a kid leash 🤣 (INFJ)

@@ceceliam9014 Okay Cecelia, how in THE WORLD did you get in with the peacocks!!? (I want to feed the peacocks, I'm taking notes.)

How lovely! (the second bit!)

Reading that, I must say I felt both relating from the side of your sister, but at the same time bad because the teachers shouldn't compare you two. Each on of you have your powers and strengths. ENFPs are the most likely to travel around the globe without second thought and experience things we never will. Your interaction sounds exactly as mine (ISFJ) and my ENFP's cousin and also ENFP university best friend. And I must admit creating nostalgia to them is my superpower, especially with songs and my drawings which they keep over the years.

@@CineShinya I often find myself falling into the trap of unhealthy comparisons when I should simply appreciate. Thanks for the reminder. I cherish my sister precisely because they provide a link to my past that I usually can't maintain without help. It truly is a superpower.

Your sister sounds really lovely and I'm also like that with my twin brother. At home he would mess around and play jokes and I would be sitting in the leaving, quietly watching RU-vid or Netflix. I'm more quieter than him but sometimes I like to take part of his silliness. I'm also into art and want to become a Fine artist and maybe travel.

this is soo heartwarming to read! if there's one thing I can say, it's that you're a great older brother!

I don't get it. The entire thing...

@@exnihilonihilfit6316 The definition of "screw the rules, I have money"

As another ENTJ I literally found myself thinking the same things she would go on to say as the ENTJ even watching it. When she even said irrelevant details I was done for. Why does she understand us so well. She consistently calls us out so well, she must be silenced.

@@T.E.Twilight Maybe its for the best we have someone that understands our neurological pathways, in which we can have someone convey our flaws to better our own insight.

@@casperv3600 it definitely is, especially considering how often we get demonized by others. Good to have someone who understands we're human too, but I *was* joking. Kristin is a comedic genius being able to mix actual understanding into the stereotype comedy.

Showed this to my parents. Even their reaction matched the ENTJ's parent from the sketch

Haha I do concur entp has the power to materialize. You could be an introvert, working behind a locked steel door and suddenly "hello! What are you doing now? :)"... the entp somehow made it in! - intj

Yes! Loved his immediate defense of his daydreaming ENFP daughter ❤️ Throwback to my own ISTP dad fighting off all predators for me -- a grateful ENFP daughter

How about the INTJ kindergarten child that can break the 4th wall

Ew

Everyone: Goes to the bathroom to go to the bathroom. INFPs: Goes to the bathroom to stave off existential crises.

My daughter invented the term “power cry.” This is a good 2 minute cry mid-class to clear the IXFP head. I assumed that Geraldine was in on the practice.

I Think Geraldine has Aspergers Syndrome

My kindergarten/preschool teachers told my parents that I needed play therapy because I spent too much time playing by myself 😢

As an INFP here, I was also always on my own in all school years. I was always day dreaming and it was kind of a problem for teachers too.

being an INFP can be so difficult, those kinda "unfair" social things always end up happenings with us. Why? Idk, it just does, and it hurts.

Sorry that happened to you, I get your parents wanting you to try to be more social but to me personally school was not the best place to make friends anyway. And I don't know why it's so conforming and doesn't allow for individuality. Like, the "class clown" gets in trouble for being funny, the smart kid gets called a teacher's pet or is taught stuff they already know, and people worry about the quiet kid who is just fine.

Holy smokes same for me. My best friends were teachers. And I hated recess because it was loud with all the kids screaming. All I wanted was to be alone and read a book quietly under a tree. But the teacher wouldn't let me have a book so that I'd be encouraged to play with the other kids. It never worked out well. I would just find a place to hide until recess was over.

Yeah bro... Why being infj is so hard 😭

Tf ... i just sensed a huge difference in mentality from other kids, both in kindergarden and school and therefore spend most of the time being by my own daydreaming and giving a helping hand when someone needed, but other than that i was inexistent, like a ghost, couldn't wait to return home and contiune the story i had with my action figurine toys XD. Also there wasnt a single conference where the teacher wouldnt not say that i can be amongst the top class if i wanted to but choose to be laid back yet she never could have pressed more on this subject because i was a "matured kid" who never bothered her, except later when i would skip classes in school, not do homework and raise my head when something was way off and given my neutral silent state of being would take everybody by surprise and raised some eyebrows. Furthermore dispite this overshyness i see in others i remember a time when i had to attend a piano lesson over the last class i had. In that day the other kids made my teacher reach her human limits and when i approached her to ask if i can leave an hour earlier, she frowned at me and turn her head. So i grabed my phone and handed over my piano teacher with whom she spoke and eventually let me leave as scheduled XD. I remeber smiling at her through the whole phone call XD. Like: "B*t*h, just because others made your day worse doesn't mean you have to make mine too" Even in college, i dont know how it happpend really, so - i would if not skip classes, i would be there always on time. But somehow was late for a sport class where we had to arrive at a different location, 5 bus station away from the main campus. Imagine myself getting there half an hour late seeing my colleagues waiting in snow for ... for nothing because they expected the intructor to come and begin the class. So i walked to the first human being i imagined was a teacher told who i am and asked for some guidance. Cant really wrap my head around that moment because i remember between my colleagues was the most evident entp, allways bragging, allways being pedantic and ready to disaprove that the sky is blue (methaphorical speaking) just because it happend to be said by anyone other than him :))) i cant stop from laughting right now, allways loveing to hear himself talk, a smart and unconventional guy who also was very sincere, would talk about every taboo subject as if he was prsenting the weather, funniest and one of the smarted guys i've ever met, so i remember him and couldnt understand why he didnt do anything XD, someone so extroverted, :))))) they were all switching their wieght from one foot on the other because of the freezing XD. Was even more wierd because they hardly knew me. Shit, i better send this beore i delete it XD

Can't relate more to a comment so far. Ty for expressing my thoughts.

💯 correct. ENFP here and you say it in a way that I can’t. I was the same as you: I listened to everything the teachers and parents said and I was extremely in tune with politics. I also used it to my advantage by saying what they wanted to hear as well! I’m sure you were much more detailed and critical than I was, though. 😅 It HAS helped me be more critical of current trends and the news cycle as I remember historical events and their cultural significance more than the average person.

i totally agree, although i usually challenge teachers more and do things my own way, while being incredibly good at arguing against them, either winning or compromising, i never loose, because i use the information of their true work and connection against them showing them how they could logically work better with my ideas. Thank you for expressing your thoughts :)

Schools are designed to be agents of socialisation. What else do you expect when 25 or so kids of the same age are taught the same thing at the same time by one person? It starts with sitting 4 yr olds on a mat and making them stay quiet for 10 minutes, and then goes through handwashing, eating lunch at a set time and playing only with kids their own age. At higher levels it indictrinates kids by offering one set text (To kill a mockingbird) but cautions against reading Mein Kampff. After 12 years of this, if the socialisation has succeeded, the child can be clean, quiet, thoughtful and finally able to do calculus.

Indeed.

INFP/INFJ here too and absolutely the same was the case with me.

why r u guys saying infp/infj? if u don’t know what u r u gotta figure that out.

@@Brickwilliams It's most likely because of the fact that they aren't sure about which type they are. They are looking for outside validation to see which type they truly are. What I recommend for them is to look into a reddit post on the description of the Socionics of each type, because it acknowledges the shadow functions, and they feel that they use their shadow functions often, which is the case in Socionics. In Socionics, shadow functions are basically "aware of them", but they don't use them that often, and can be quite good at it.

Same.

School can be awful. Kids aren't perfect or all exactly the same, I don't know why they'd expect them to be. I had really nice teachers it's just a faulty system imo.

Yes me too, though when I grew older I found that a little dissapointing because I actually wanted some feedback.

Count of Monte Cristo was my favorite book that I read in school hands down. I had read it before being assigned to read it in English class. -ENFP

You can use those same principles to lead people back to the path. Instead of astray. If they are betraying innocents, they are already astray. What they need is healing. You can use manipulation to help people as well. - infj

@@zzzcocopepe Oh, I have. But when I was an angry kid, vengeance was way more fun a prospect. Today, it depends on what they did. I have no pity for people who betray me. And sometimes I got people who wanted to gloat over me, and, well, if you're going to get caught up in doing that, I have no shame in letting you and using it to set up your downfall. Sometimes, you need to fall to the bottom to really learn a lesson, anyway. Long term, it may be good for you.

I read The Count of Monte Cristo on my own a year or two ago and I'm waiting to forget enough about it to be able to read it again (ISTJ, INFP or just some introvert really)

Oooooh I liked the movie a lot, I'll have to check out the book. Minimal effort for B's was my game in.... all school until grad school. -ENTJ

You are correct...but what is happening is much deeper and far more vast then the human mind can grasp. You have to watch Century of the Self...to even reach stage 1 of understanding our current reality.

@@richardmartin7904 Thank for sharing !

Pretty sure it was just a 4th wall break lol

​@@williestroker3404 Most definitely, but in-universe it fits with what the guy says and is very in-character of an INTJ to say nonchalantly and dismissively.

Haha I got a job once... this one lady wouldn't hire me but her boss liked me and I got hired there anyway in a diff department. The first lady who wouldn't hire me would avoid eye contact and would dissappear if she saw me coming down the hall. To this day I don't understand. -intj

Likewise. 👍 I don’t mind people playing on those stereotypes some for humor, but really if you get to know different people of the same types, you get more nuance in how they manifest their functions differently (sometimes very differently)…and as a result, you actually get more material for your jokes. You don’t just keep repeating the same joke, you come up with something new that people can still relate to and laugh at. Kristin seems to have caught onto this, and it’s made her mbti skits my favorite on RU-vid.

@@Cybrogue1 what makes her different is she is an esfp. So her humor comes from data she has collected from her Extroverted sensing function. She has truly made me appreciate that function more.

asocial*

​@@Moreso_fly Yep... probably mistyped. An INTP would know the difference between "asocial" and "antisocial".

Unfortunately, there are still stereotypes here. My mom is an ISTJ and I can't seem to find any relatable skit to show her because ISTJs are portrayed as if they don't care about feelings and stuff :(

When the children tell the story they’ll tell the story of tonight (because that’s how long it lasted)

I was thinking the same

"That's modalism Patrick!"

Don't you mean... three hour long?

@@lyrakawashita I see you're an optimist in life.

Yes

Hysterical re the handwriting. My ISFJ mother had the clearest AND most beautiful cursive script, which she was regularly complimented on. I (her ENFP daughter) also get compliments for mine, but as Mom always said, "Yours is too busy being pretty to be legible." I regularly find it impossible to decipher half of my old journals due to this truth.

@@MelanieHooks Agh...I feel you...my mum had been telling me the same...

I am also an INFP, sorry to Interrupt but do u know which one is the INFP one???

Hi Meg! A* for your comments as always! Love your idea this is set in the future and the parents are actually Brad and Becky! In the ISFJ scene they refer to each other as Gerald and Gertie and right at the start the teacher calls them Mr and Mrs Jones so this has strong witness protection vibes to me. To become a "man with feelings" Brad must have had a ton of counselling so he must have witnessed something pretty bad! 😆

@@edwright4892 omg yeah my Ti blindspot failed to notice they mention their names. But Omg the witness protection think I am totally here for! I also didn’t notice the man with feelings. Also the fact that one of the mums (the ENFP’s to be specific) is defiantly an ISTJ (might just be projecting because that part was inspired by mine at least I think, maybe multiple ENFP’s have had similar experiences)

Love the quote from your wife; it's incredibly endearing. Hope I can get similarly "adopted" one of these days lol. Wishing you many more long years together!

im a female entp, plus a teacher's child. so i have to be on low profile everytime. but my mouth ALWAYS moves on its own (i swear) and says something disrespectful to teachers. im always accidentally rude 😔

@@yesmaam3399 oh man! Sometimes the brain & mouth move so fast they skip over the filter…lol 🤦‍♀️ it can be sooo awkward. Helps to lean into that tension occasionally. I’ve literally said “oops I think I may have just offended you. I’m sorry.” The other person seemed to appreciate it & actually laughed at the blunt acknowledgment & we resumed conversation. Humor is one of the best ways to diffuse the sticky situations we may find ourselves in from time to time. Chin up, my friend!

My mom told me that for upcoming interviews that if I MUST dye my hair again, the purple should only be on the top of my head instead of all over and have the rest be black (since i have very short hair) and since silver is really a pale black, she can't be mad when I come back from the hairdresser with lavender and silver hair. I technically still did what she said, but she wasn't counting on me seeing black as a shade and not a color. Because it's not 😈 not in art class it's not

Same for me regarding homework and tests. Sometimes the opposite would be the case and I'd ace the homework, but fail the tests. The daydreaming took care of the rest. I still have this issue in college unless the material is genuinely interesting to me. -ENFP

DUDE I DID THE SAME THING, except I paid attention in class at all times/days because I like learning. But I never did the homework. I'd ace the tests tho, because I was paying attention, and I understood the concepts. The reason I didn't do the homework was because I saw no point in it if I already understood everything, it was just a waste of my time and giving more work and effort I could be putting into different areas of my life. Work smarter, not harder is my motto, basically.

I am an ENFP and I was super passionate about doing well in school. I had been homeschooled until 9th grade, so I was excited to do well. I learned like crazy, but there would be times I would forget a thing or two like not singing randomly in class. My teacher had no clue if I was retarded or not especially with how well I did on tests.

In the USA normally homework counts as a significant part of the grade. I'm jealous because I hated homework but liked tests and did well at them. School can be hard even if you're excellent at it because then it moves at a slower pace and you're taught things you already know.

Might be an xNxP thing, I noticed these types frustrate others with their ability to get high marks and still get away with doing minimal homework

Please tell me more :)

@@cerebrummaximus3762 I don’t know if I can get into specifics, but there were a few photoshop situations that went too far (nothing explicit, but a little too edgy for our crowd) and got the initiator of our group called to the president‘s office. A lot of the administrative and teaching staff secretly found it hilarious, though. But word travelled and apparently, the president got asked about the thing by some of his peers. It kinda just blew out of proportion … we just did it for fun, so that a handful of people could have a laugh 😅

@@janaretlow8699 Lol reminds me of when I found a photoshopped image of some overly wrinkled old lady smoking a splif and somehow managed to convince my friends to leave it on the teacher's desk

Can confirm that I did something very similar as well. Also INTP. To me, satirical humour seems to flow naturally from the way my mind works.

I don't relate to any of her infj skits, although I understand why the character would want to get away as far away as possible.

Well, usually I relate to most but sometimes not at all. And this one is among the ones I don't relate to. I don't get the character's reaction at all. That's not something I could see myself doing. I could be embarrassed about it but I would NEVER stop coming in class because of that.

As a student, I was very much like the ISFJ and the ENFJ. We're perfectionists, like to help with people solutions, and love learning...just not the way "learning," is done in school. Booorrriing!

As an INFJ I'm quite ok with it since I'm more of a theory guy compared to my cousins ENFJ and ISFJ (even though I recognize that the way studies are made obviously doesn't fit for everyone and there is definitely some room for improvement). I usually like or I'm at least ok with what most people generally find "boring". I've always been a bit embarassed about this since it makes me tell to myself I might actually be boring. Maybe I should just embrace being a nerd lol. I need extreme calm and not too much sensory stimulation so practice and too concrete things is sometimes what I find the most stressful and boring. I definitely relate to the perfectionist, liking to help with people solutions and love learning aspects though.

As an INFJ, I relate to it, but not in such radical way, ofc. I took being corrected personally, so I wouldn't try to answer teacher's questions to whole class for some time.

The “I will literally pay you” has been said at every parents evening ever and now it’s “every teacher has always said that. She’s like that at home too. We will literally pay you if you can make them stop” I think a joke was made once about how duct taping a child’s mouth shut is unfortunately illegal 😂 I showed my English teacher one of my year 3 reports today and she laughed because it said like “very vibrant and interesting writing. she needs to organise her ideas before she writes, and check over her writing as she has a tendency to miss out words” which I am still exactly the same. Also confuse words in my head because I process things in a very abstract way and make all these links that is then what Si stores and links back to practical details. And because of that sometimes the storage gets crosssed

@@Meg_intheclouds I relate to all of this VERY WELL. My English teacher also almost said THE SAME FOR REAL. I mean our mind is constantly going all over and is not organized (which probably our Si is disappointed on- Idk, I'm still new to cognitive function) And the missed out some words is probably the aftermath of continuous-contagious imagination going in the way of what are we doing- Also the way Ne (?) is all over our comment is incredible too 🤣 We would be UNSTOPPABLE if we can control our sudden go imagination mode tendency, set in place our emotional boundaries, not going all over the place and THE MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL IS PROCRASTINATION. But yeah.. that doesn't sound an ENFP tho 👏🏻👏🏻 I bet I missed more ENFP traits. 💀💀

@@sharondaniel8516 omg yes! The thing is because of the environment I grew up in I learnt to be organised and hold back my emotions and logicize them in order to keep emotionally safe. (ISTJ mum as the dominant figure and an XSTX family, my dad is INFP but was away with work a lot). But yeah hyper organisation was very much me overcompensating. School and studying is always something I just can hone in and focus on and turn my thoughts off for however long- and again is a bit of a coping mechanism. Because of both these things my natural messiness and scattered Brain was hid behind gold stars and A’s and B’s (I’m an enneagram 3 too so achievement is everything) - but there was clearly something holding me back from my full potential- which I’ve had to learn to manage. I have devised so many systems that only make sense to me and yet they are not fool proof I still mess up. While I am true to myself and how I’m feeling there is this me I can see myself being and I do mirror other people in social situations (think that’s a situational thing rather than mbti). But internally and naturally I am not organised, but I can be, I have learnt to be again to overcompensate for everything else and so I plan and schedule (then get annoyed when I don’t stick to it- working on that too) but it gets draining (which I think is the clear difference between a high Te user, and an Tert/inferior Te user). But my bubbliness and enthusiasm has always been endearing and I’ve always been considered weird- but I found a way to lean into the quirky side, hide the messy side and boom social validation. (Like a fool In a Shakespeare play- or a jester I entertain and I amaze. And “When they send home The circus, burn them rodeo down. When they send home the horses and the rodeo clowns I’m still on that tight-rope I’m still trying everything to get you laughing at me! I’m still a believer but I don’t know why I’ve never been a natural all I do is try try try” -Mirrorball by Taylor swift (which I relate to so hard)

@@Meg_intheclouds OMG WE KIND OF HAVE THE SAME SITUATION (Currently trying to type my family's MBTI, my mom as a XSTX / XSFX probably, my dad is probably an XNTX because he is the only one who pretty much could keep up with my whole shenanigans, I only have 2 sisters but I haven't typed them yet because I'm still learning MBTI and such with extra side tracked imagination/project going on) But yeah! I also grew up to be organised and holdin' em emotion back, and such but yeah at some point I broke through the planned stereotype of the family plus me relating to the song Runaway by Aurora so much. Also SAMEEEE my dad also was always away with work a lot for real. Also since we grew up like you know, kind of being shaped by our surroundings to be what we are now I'm now kind of see my family to be kind of serious as I grow up. No joke is going on around the house unless my dad is in to do puns left and right in our first language. I'm feel like my personality is the aftermath of trying to search for true exploration of the world with a lot of fun and somehow accepted the dark reality of the world. Though I'm kind of scared I might change. Also yeah I relate to the coping mechanism part. Also somehow a bit more looking responsible ENFP? Oh how I wish to be like that- (As an ENFP with an enneagram 7, I would be wayyy too bored and desperate to search for things that makes me... un-bored to do achievements so much) (except if im on Si grip) But I do feel proud so much if I got an achievement! About the mirror, I find EXFP especially ENFP (idk if this applies to any other MBTI personalities) is like a chameleon, like we tend to mirror other people that in some case we would lose ourselves while being our true self (Does that make sense? Wait we are intuitive.) Also the draining part. UGH so relateable. I'm in verge of doing a new project when I have an unfinished project to do. (The Te part fr) Yesss the weird part but yeah thats how we are un-/fortunately. For me I think it's fortunate. Yes. Boom social validation. Also are you the class clown in your class perhaps in the past? Talking about amaze people and entertains 😉

@@sharondaniel8516 omg yes! And no I was not the class clown, I was way too much of a goody two shoes and way too scared to ever break any rule (intentionally). I have a 7 fix, I’m a 371- but yeah, to me studying is fun! And again I can just switch off. But yeah I get the social chameleon thing so much! In my house growing up I was always the positive and bubbly one that brought the fun because someone had to be, because the ESTP and ISTJ weren’t gonna do that, and my dad was too much of a peacemaker and passive to actually bring the fun- but us together is chaos. In class I tried to keep everyone happy too which sometimes made waves with teachers who found my enthusiasm and bubbliness annoying, but most teachers love that. Part of me sometimes worries it’s all an act and I’m just faking everything, especially when I do everything to avoid emotional pain and push those emotions away! I had a break up about 10 weeks ago, and the minute it happened I was making a Taylor swift breakup playlist about 5 hours long.Taking me from initial pain to acceptance and then moving on. By the time New Romantics and begin again came around I was convinced I was over it. I had 1 week till exams so I threw myself into them and revision (and it so paid off)- and then summer hit and it hit me, but then I went on holiday- thought about what was to come, I went to every party, disco and social event I could find on the ship- had the best week and then I came home with dreams to become the best version of myself… I also went to “I never even liked them to begin with I confused platonic with romantic feelings” (which was a lie I did like them, it was my first real relationship and yeah) then I started to really do some soul searching because something happened where I was like no I need to deal with this, and so I tried to- then I found out that my ex was using me the whole time and I realised they never really cared about me or how I was feeling after the first couple weeks, old wounds that I didn’t even realise were there and then I saw that they had moved on- that they got to cut me off and I was the only one bleeding. I also realised I had actually never confronted the emotions and I was still using distraction subconsciously. But now I’m truly over the feelings, and now she’s ignoring me so… but I am Talking to this guy and moving on and idk what the point of this was I think to demonstrate how I distract myself and people think I’m this happy bubbly person all the time- and I am, I just can also be sad and reserved at times and I’m learning that that’s ok too- I don’t always need to make everyone happy, and be everyone’s sunshine girl magic pixie dream girl. But part of me is terrified eventually people will leave me once I show the messy side and I become too much.

What was or is your MBTI?

@@lovetobe6118 ENFP!

Same! For me it was like very similar to this video. Especially the parent part. But yeah it was very much like “very bubbly and enthusiastic, one of the most inquisitive students I’ve taught, eager to participate in all class activities and discussion. But she has a tendency to go on tangents, get easily distracted and can be very chatty- and she needs to slow down in order to access the top grades” I’m in year 13 now and teachers are still saying the exact same thing. Found an old school report the other day that said “Megan's writing is always lively and interesting and she can write at length. She need to improve at organising her ideas before she starts to write as well as reading through erwards as she is inclined to leave out words” I showed it to my English teacher and she found it funny because she said similar to me at the last parents evening.

Spot on! Same comments from teachers from kindergarten through my own Masters in Teaching program ;) -- fellow ENFP

I am an ENFP. I didn't talk to people that much in school because I didn't go to public school until I moved states and changed cultures. But randomly humming in class by accident happened all the time.

This is so fun haha

That's why it's a stereotype, this is closer to what we actually experience. Grades are arbitrary if you're inside a broken system.

Very relatable. What’s your personality type? (Infj here)

Dude, read his books. They're really good

You see it’s not necessarily out of selfishness or inflated ego. The world is just inefficient and could use my ideas to get on the right track. - most INTJs

@@dambeoshunsalam8033 it absolutely does

The funny thing is it’s based on one of my suggestions on the Patreon based on one of my own parents evenings- like the mum part especially (like every parents evening without fail she says something like that) - and I did in fact need to be assessed for adhd- did anyone ever assess me? No. I get straight grades, i was a teachers pet, I seem super organised due to an ISTJ mum so as a coping mechanism I devised my own systems early on, I function out of anxiety and a fear of failure. I am also an enneagram 3. And because of that I was dismissed or they decided that I didn’t need to be tested (my mum has told me several times that). Like I’m bubbly, enthusiastic, come across as scattered, quirky and very socially unaware, blurting out and getting very over excited and would not stay in my seat, very easily side tracked and went on so many tangents and still do . But all the messy stuff I hide and have curated this image for myself for social validation where I play a sort of fool while also wanting to prove I am more. Like the idea that I want to be accepted for my most authentic self and want to be that but I am being held back by the fear people won’t love it unless I prove I am lovable? You know? Like the Fe critic comes out
