as one myself i would relate to the intp but id rather try to do/say something, be as little embarassing as possible and wait for them to move on so i dont get horrible reputation among the group (and i only wish i could do what they did there without consequences)
Yes im an INFP and my sister is an ENFJ and she keeps asking personal questions and me just be like no you can keep asking but you're never gonna get the answer.
I'll do you one better, went in my first vacation in over 10 years the other day, to Ibiza. Was not worth it, but was free and my husband promised it would be fun, I was lied to by my soul mate. (I am intj, he's infj)
It’s like I am a plate spinner, from the circus. You know the ones that spin the plates on poles? I do my best to keep everything spinning, but the plates all fall eventually. 😂
"MY NAME IS TONY!" ESTJ here. I'm a Math professor... and I seriously do talk like that. I want the students to have no choice but to remember everything I say. No one has fallen asleep during lecture in years. I'm actually losing my voice right now, because we're 2 weeks into the semester. As always, mad props to Frank James for holding a mirror to society.
Oi ESTJ, é muito estranho como o Frank consegue nos descrever tanto, grito muito é sempre quero que todos se esforcem para aprender e fazer tudo o que eu digo.
INTP here and YES. Also, you know what? I completely agree that we need name tags! That way no one has to introduce themselves and I can actually remember someone's name. I suck at remembering names...
yes, the most embarrassing thing is when they tell you their name once and you forget it, and then know them for like a year without knowing their name and you can't just ask for it because you've known them for ages.......
As an INFJ, I'd probably be thinking and practicing how I'm going to present a quirky and succinct introduction but what comes out of my mouth would be something like; "Hi! My name is read and I like to Jennifer for fun." 😀
Just to avoid that kind of scenario, I actually had to write down the things I need to say when we had the "introduce yourself" portion this school year. Omg
Not sure the INTJ thing is why you're not leaving the house for years at a time. I leave my house all the time. I do have to eat and take care of my personal business. Even if I could buy everything online I would still need to leave my house at least once a month just for my sanity.
@@cjwillz When I get my own place, I'd actually like to check out certain events when I have the time. Oof, there'll be so much to do that's not necessarily work, like playing videogames, watching shows, reading articles or books, cooking for the week, or anything like that.
As an INFP, I would only introduce myself simply like the INTP did. The "Please move your attention from me" and "You can't truly know me both in a short group and one-on-one introduction" thing will go on simultaneously and sub-consciously in my mind
INFJ is soooo accurate. I remember a time when our professor asked us to introduced ourselves. and as an INFJ, I was just thinking of the things I should say. I was like an instant scriptwriter huhu
@Psykylogist 👍 I relate to INFJ in this one. The difference is that someone else will go before me, say what I was going to say, and leave me to scramble at the last minute to come up with a second-choice introductory sentence. Meanwhile, I’ll be low-grade panicking and chiding myself for being so anxious. The good thing is, since finding this channel, I now know I‘m not the only one.☺️
INTP here and damn this hit me like a truck. I hate introductions, I hate attention, matter of fact I hate existing in the same room with more than 2 people anyway so yeah 😂
16 personalities: At church In The Backrooms In a horror movie or watching a horror movie As emos Suggesting books, games, movies, or other media Listening to music Doing homework When they have computer problems When they're late When they're car breaks down Ordering a coffee Shopping Deciding what to wear
@@AlanaPostsCrap ENTJ: Damn, were locked in! How are we gonna get out? ISFJ: There's a room over there, but there's a table in the way. ISTP: Well, just go over it. ENTJ: Why would anyone put a table in the middle of the damn kitchen? INFP: Calm down, everyone! Let's think this through. ENFJ: INFP's right. Let's just take a moment to breathe in... *inhales* Come on, do it with me! ISFP: Uh, there's something behind you. ESTJ: She said "Breathe!", you du-holy shit, you're right. ENTP: ...ESFP? ESFP: Aww, dude! Why? I thought it would be funny. ENTP: Ghosts wait until we're alone. INFJ: Alone... alone! WHERE'S INTP? ESTP: He said he had to piss. INTJ: I'll go check. ENTP, ISTP, come with me. ISTP: Sure, whatever.
I went to a group therapy session where we sat in a circle and the leader had a "talking stick." This stick was passed around and when it was given to you, you had to introduce yourself and say why you were there. I was 9th in a circle of 12 people... That was one of the worst evenings of my life. It was over a year ago, I still think about it.
@@safim8217 I've never been to so I can't comment on that. Talking it out with friends feels safer if u trust em. Or get a personal therapist the communication is better
@@safim8217 I feel your pain. They did that to me once. A group therapy thing. Actually I had to go once a week for a while, which means I had to practice being proactively silent once a week. Silence skills ++
Frank James, here's a sick suggestion I have for you. Turn this 'meeting group' right here into some kind of series, and they can have conversations about all sorts of things within the room. You could use the same settings and just have different topics. Just a thought! Love your work :)
As an ISTP I can honestly say that that was a very long introduction compared to how I do it. I usually just say my name and move on. "I'm *my name, that's all" is a common one.
As an ENFP I feel both extremely well represented and increasingly uncomfortable remembering past conversations in which I may or may not have overshared and/or been overly honest about certain feelings... A lot. Like, way too much. Which surely leads to great connections at first cause "wow this person is so confident they open up really fast :D" but then turns awkward real quick cause I talk about shit I probably shouldn't talk about with almost-strangers and I'm quite convinced about 90%of them end up thinking "whoa whoa whoa okay calm down, a simple one-sentence-answer would've been enough I don't want to know everything about the identity crisis you had last night, but yeah that adventure you talked about 5 minutes ago was cool, can we get back to that? Okay cool, thanks" at some point
ENFP here and I am also embarrassed and very uncomfortable now looking at how uncomfortable I must’ve made others- like one time in fourth grade we had to write poetry and share it to a classmate and I always wrote the saddest one. Literally everybody’s reaction was “Uhm ok-“
Funnily enough, growing up that is all I would say to my INTJ mother--you just don't understand me. Now I wonder why I believe that when I am pretty sure I am not THAT hard to understand lol. #infp
I used to spend lots of time saying almost nothing about myself and then feeling shocked at not being understood. But I had a friend who was a bit like that as well; would not talk to me for months and then got mad at me for not knowing every updated detail about her life (like a stalker?) and why I can't read her mind.
People who know us can't even understand us! This was spot on. (Also, I always knew Trump was an ESTP, and he was clearly Frank's inspiration here. It explains so much to me as an INFP.)
@@unmitigatedgall8732 I resolve that no matter how many details about your life or personality people know, it doesn't mean they understand. But I've heard the phrase "air of msytery" and I think it's pretentious.
Yeah, totally agree. I feel like we're so non-judgmentally curious about all aspects of life and human existence that we don't have the same boundaries other types have, regarding extreme topics, like existential dread or trauma, birth, death or stuff like that. It's all part of life and inlcuded in the stuff we talk and think about.
very true.. I'm an INFJ and every time we we're asked to introduce ourselves, i often go last or near last, thinking what i should be saying, etc, and not listening and remembering anything
ISTJ: Greetings. My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.
As an INTP, the ISFJ is one of the few people there that doesn’t quietly terrify me. I feel like you can’t go wrong interacting with an ISFJ. Just so much warm fuzzy stuff in that vibe.
INTP here. It was such a comfort to hear ENTP defy the instructions, for ENTJ to suggest a non-interactive alternative, and for INTJ to speak out what's also in my mind. NT homies!
As an INTJ I relate to this 100%. at 3:05, that was me when I attended our college farewell party 2 days ago. Definitely not worth leaving my house at all!😬
INFJ is spot on as usual. And as an INFJ myself I‘d also feel instantly contected to the ENFJ, the ENFP and the INFP. Just saying. It’s all coming together #kronk
As an ISFJ, the INFJ one at the end was the most relatable. I get a bit anxious with these types of things, so thinking of my response the whole time is what I would do in a situation like this one in the video.
The INFJ one is very accurate. I remember everytime we introduced ourselves, I always think of what to say that would make a good impression and would not embarrassed me, forgetting almost everyone's self-introduction except for those that pique my interest.
1:03 This is what every introvert has in mind and wishes to say it loud during introductions. 2:45 This is so true, I always want to fade into the background so that there's no spotlight on me and I can be comfortable again. 3:10 This is how philosophical I get about things at times and end up oversharing (which I obviously regret later). 3:33 This is so relatable. Once I had to offer vote of thanks during an internship programme after the session and I was so worried about structuring everything that I wasn't able to focus on the session and at the end I had to struggle to frame everything appropriately. P.S. :- I'm an INFJ, still related to others, I don't know why, maybe we resonate with everyone's thoughts. 😂 But seriously, I don't comment on videos usually but yours are an exception because I love your channel. This is the only place where I feel understood. Thank you for making such relatable videos. ❤️
Wow I was also thinking to myself I relate to INTP because I don’t want people to look at me; INFP because I don’t think one introduction is enough ; INFJ because I’ll be trying to figure out what I’m going to say. And yes if I had guts, I’d say what the ENTP said……. INFP here
1:03 I thought to myself "this guy is saying exactly what I'm thinking lol" then a little later: baaam "ENTP". I'm ENTP, or at least I think I am. U welcome, for ENTP being the voice of introverts LOL
I think I'm ENTP - because this [1:04] is what I think during the group, but I don't because I just think it will probably cause too much trouble for what its worth and I just end up just saying something random like... "I'm ... , umm, I like ..." and moving on. I wish the teachers who usually do this stuff wouldn't target me for every thing afterwards if I said [1:04]. :/
I am an INFJ and it scares me a little how accurate you portray them in your videos. This one was spot on 100% for me. I guess it pays to be one yourself, FJ.
Yeah, he is finally relying less in stereotypes and it is great. As an ENTP, before even playing the video I said "I bet the ENTP would just say he loves to argue and that is it" .... and almost every single video that was the case... like the ENTP was not even arguing, just mentioned he was going to argue. So it is nice to finally see something an ENTP would actually say.
As an INFJ I relate 100%. I never listen to anyone whenever I want to say something about myself. I just replay my speech in my head over and over to sound like I didn't spend 3 hours figuring out what to say. LOL
the coolest thing is to get to the point where you know which personality is showing up, not only because of stereotypes but also because of language addictions (such as value transfer, definitions by examples, etc.) Fun and educational at the same time, nice job
I also like how he subtly chose to prompt some types to speak and not others. Like as soon as he said "I can just feel the energy" before inviting that person to speak, I knew I had arrived lol. Also the fact that he neglected to mention himself in favor of the group was insultingly accurate but that's besides the point - ENFJ
@@whitneyd6827 hahaha yes, the best are precisely those that we feel the stab because they are the ones that we feel most represented. And they also give insights that something needs to change.
I don’t entirely agree with ISFP (I think they would rather like to say it that way but then end up saying much less), but INTP was ON POINT, as well as INFP. 😂 Also I agree with ENTJ! Name tags would be so much better. I always focus so much at what I’m about to say that I don’t listen at all to the other introductions and thus don’t remember every single name. Which is sooo awkward afterwards.
INFP here, and totally relate. I wouldn't say it out loud though, i think. I usually introduce myself, but then regret it cause the way I presented myself is how everyone see me now and it almost never scratches the surface of who I am as a living being, well I don't really know myself too well but I can't help but feeling like I'm living in a lie after introductions like that.. and sorta fake. It's this loop I go through, I think of the perfect introduction that would make people like me and most of the times know exactly what I have to say to make people look at me in the way I want them to, but after all that.. I just end up with this 'empty husk' feeling. Anyways, I'm going too in dept- Thanks for reading!
Yay another INFP good thing I don't have to introduce myself much but even my friends don't know who I truly am heck I don't ego I truly am there is no way I can introduce myself without giving people the wrong impression about who I am or people thinking that I'm boring nobody has enough time in an introduction to introduce themselves properly which is likely why I don't pay attention in introductions so I get to know the person properly without explanations because I'll either think they are extremely awesome and fun when their not or think that their boring and not talk to them when they could of been a good friend
@@tikent-snulfwoer exactly. I'd think that, but never ever EVER would I say that. I'd just go with a friendly smile, my name and something about me that is obvious anyways.
I would have anxiety that people would think that I have a low attention span (I do) so I would memorise everything they say until I go home. Also here’s a hack for introducing yourself that is plainly obvious *insert troom troom intro here* just say your name and a random colour you like dummy.
I think not remembering names is an ENTJ thing, because we think of people as their function, not as people. As a teacher, it's something I work on so all the F types aren't offended. But of course, the name tags are exactly what they need, and I would have called them out on it...in a fake nice way that wouldn't fool anyone!
"So far not worth it" that's exactly what I'm thinking most of the time. Or what I'm afraid of thinking if I went, so I don't actually go in the first place.
OMG the ENFP part has me crying laughing. I'm actually going through a divorce and recently lost my job, but it has led to huge lifestyle changes and life has never been better. We're walking contradictions 😎
I'm INTP and I hate attention of anything. I don't like rounds of introductions and I react 1:1 like this. INFP have better sensitivity in this regard.
INFPs have high Fi, so they can generally tell something about themselves. For INTPs, introducing themselves may only consist of saying their name, but since the people started mentioning personal stuff in the beginning, the INTP's Fe is on a panic here
The ISFP was so accurate. When people ask me about myself I tend to rattle off my diverse interests, likes, hobbies and passions and they’re usually left starting at me like, “yeah ok that’s nice”. And I’m like, “oh right sorry that was too much 😅”
I liked how the ESFJ focuses more on the concrete and the ENFJ more on the abstract but both say something positive to get the group going 🥰 my type of people!
@@jueedhar5449 thank you! I thought I was ENFJ but now I am realizing I use a lot of Si, so I might be an ESFJ. I speak a lot like this ENFJ here, but I use Si much more than Ni 🤷🏽♂️😂🤣
Me as an INTP I totally relate to the ENTP and INTJ ones 😂 1- I really won't remember the names 2- I find it worthless to get out from home to go to a stubid meeting
I am an INFP and work as a social worker. My work usually goes really well as long as I can listen to and take care of others. But there are also situations where I have to introduce myself in groups or school classes, these are the worst situations in my life. You end up with a silly grin, a lot of sweat, a red face and a stutter.
Or maybe when sth is bothering them, they wanna talk about it but don't want to transfer the negativity to others, or even they might be afraid that others will misunderstand them so they joke about it while actually implying sth deeper (that might be obvious to the listener at times or hard to notice at all)... Talking from personal experience... That might not always go through the way you want so you should be clear too. That could in a way explain why ENFPs tend to be stereotypically indecisive now that I think of it
i relate to the ISFP a lot, srsly, when i introduce myself instead of thinking things like my life all i can think about telling is things i like and don’t like, there’s nothing else in my brain lol
very relatable! Fellow INFJ here, peferably I will not be going last, because too much attention since most people remember the last and the first, but somewhere near the end when I have collected enough information from previous spreakers to figure out what kind of details are approriate to share in this context so I can blend in. Of course I won't remember anything anyone else said because I was just too nervous waiting for my turn while planning out the perfectly ordinary introduction without any substance because sharing something meaningful would make me feel extremely vulnerable which is to be avoided around people I don't know intimitely. I do like to avoid introductions if possible.
The INFJ one was spot on!!! I always did this whenever I went to summer camp or school and had to introduce myself, and then I'd feel bad cause I didn't remember anything anyone said cause I spent 20 minutes anxiously stressing over and mentally rehearsing what I'd say 😭😂😭😂😭🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Frank - I genuinely believe the INFJ would be the guy in the moustache moderating everything. I literally just had to do an assignment with moderating as part of my masters of social work studies degree haha sidenote: I was analysing all the personalities as they were talking and trying to guess which one was which personality (before you gave the answer) and I got a fair few of them correct, especially ENFP, ENTJ, ISFP, ISFJ, ENFJ, INTJ & INFP I guessed those ones correctly. I'm getting better at this thanks to your videos haha
The INTJ one was very accurate to me. I acted similarly last time I had to introduce myself to a group, which was itself around 9 months ago as I haven't been out since.
INFP is soooo accurate! I literally said something along the lines like that when I starting this surfing club 😂 I still remember every single second of it.
I am INFP I overthink. Get attachted to people nice to me who dont want me. Pro procrastinator . Friendless but want friends. Very depressed. Help everyone, no one help me. Insecure. Will be happy only in our imagination. Can't say no to anyone. Sorry if i missed anything.
@@godabandonedmesoibecameaba8984 I can say that I am my brother is INTP however while being the most introverted of the types he's more extroverted than me an INFP
Yes, but what type is the moderator? From the glasses and moustache and from his genuine disinterest in anything other than moving through the program despite the absurdity before him, I'd guess he's another ISTJ.
Dude, Infp was awesome. Although, I say my name and which major that I'm studying on most of the time, they are unfortunately just my inner feelings. I would want to say those words louder.
Omg! You're so hilarious! I laugh so hard when the INFJ introduced himself! Your videos are so funny, I love your work, you're very talented! I can't stop myself to watch video after video! I'm so thankful for having discovered this channel!
