Legit spoke this opinion in class and my professor looked at me like I'd admitted to sacrificing puppies. Seriously haven't made my bed in years. And even then, someone else probably did it.
ENFP here and I am getting crazy if I don't clean my house. :) My P is the mess in my head, a lot of ideas, procratination and no planning and I find cleaning as the way to escape from other duties that is why my house is always clean. :D
Connecting everything is really an ENFP thing, my friends hates me whenever we watch movies together because I could already guest the twist and possible ending by connecting everything. Unintentional spoiler lol The defining moment for me to say that the movie is good is when I didn't predict what will happen next.
I am also ENFP and 51 and it feels horribly relatable - basically I want to do it all. Start my own educational company, become a manatee guide, become a teacher, start a restaurant or a bakery etc. etc. - cause I just love it all :-)
@@LottePotte1234 this feels like me haha I remember when I was 18 chatting with friends about what we wanted to do when we were older and I was like.... if I could host a tv show where I was surrounded by dogs but had chefs come on and teach me how to cook new dishes each week while discussing the philosophy of religion, with a live audience present, I’d be happy.... but that didn’t quite come to fruition so here I am 10 years later and still none the wiser on what on earth im gonna do with my life.

I laughed my butt off at “How dare this little detail stand in the way of my grand vision!” That sums up every one of my projects that haven’t been completed yet.
this video confirmed to me once again that I am indeed an ENFP. I have countless ideas about many different subjects, can make detailed plans around them but just as you said, that's the part where it all ends. After expressing the ideas out loud or fantasizing about them for a while, I suddenly lose interest and jump onto a new grand idea. I dive deep into the topic, learn a lot, form a plan, enthuse about possible outcomes and... the moment is gone, the magic is gone and I rarely follow through
Yes! The struggle is real! The thinking is the easy part hahaha 😅 My ISFJ mom (I think) always complains that I'm all talk, and no execution. A dreamer, always fantasizing about faraway ideas. oh, how difficult it is for an N-type dom to exist in a family full of Sensers. 🥲🥲😓😓
ENFPs are so intriguing to INTJs because of their ability to think big. It can be frustrating to see them not follow through, but when an INTJ works together with an ENFP these grand ideas can be refined and accomplished
I am an enfp, working with an intj and let me tell you we're a perfect duo. I make business plans, drive sales, and close deals with clients nonstop while he creates the systems to follow through. The intj understands how crazy my mind can be, and he does his best to keep up with rational thinking. Enfps, find your intj and start making businesses!!!
INTJs and ENFPs do make great duos because they both value grand ideas and visions. Their Ni-Ne dom are perfect complement for each other, and can entertain each other immensely in intellectual discussions and pursuits. Their second and third functions (Te-Fi in INTJs and Fi-Te in ENFPs) serve as satisfying loop of validation and support that the two types need. The tragic part is, Nathan was right when he speculates that INTJs can be pretty cynical, annihilistic in one of his videos. With ENFPs being natural optimists (all positive, seeing only the best in everyone), the two types can come to a head and be involved in pretty unhealthy situations (where detachment is not a choice). Because both are stubborn and pretty much an idealist at heart. Just something to be mindful about. -Speaking from an ENFP account in that duo -
ngl that happend to me too after the first half and mind you i was playing animal crossing at the same time and zoned out on both while thinking of a new plot for a wattpad story i´m writing xD
"it's really a double edge thing" I'm also an ENFP always use this line 😂 Always looking at the two sides of a coin and understanding different perspectives like everything can be right and wrong depending on the situation and given reasons.
@@toni4157 maybe that's why we are stereotyped as vulnerable. Hence, we are just that very understanding and seeing their point over what the majority think is right. Sometime it's really hard to be us lol Critical thinking pipz
people don´t get my devil´s advocate at all.. they seem so judgemental with a thing they don´t understand and want differentlx thinking people to just go away. I sometimes despise these peasants and people find me arrogant for that reason.. while my initial reaction was to bring understanding and create fairness for the last underdog.
I’m married to an ENFP musician (I’m an ISTP). The amount of recording ideas and lists of things filling up filing cabinets, space on hard drives, and voice memos on his phone is staggering. I get so stressed when I don’t finish my to-do list, he says he just refers to it as ideas, suggestions, or possibilities
Being an ENFP is immediately comming up with a single word or expression to summarize an entire thought process your friend has just presented you with and we are so sorry for that but also so proud
TERRIFYINGLY accurate, especially the part about the small details interrupting grand plans and it not being a case where they're unfixable, but more so being offended that they exist in the first place. I was hysterical because it was SO ACCURATE.
Exactly haha I've never heard our disdain for details described so accurately. When I need to for a job, I'm very capable of all the detailed planning, but when I'm brainstorming "grand solutions" to things lol... I just want to be left to the creation aspect. Details are such a waste of time, how dare anyone expect me to actually sift through them. That's not the point! 😛
That really is a problem though, I'm halway through my bachelor and I'm like yeahh it's all kind of the same... I need by entusiasm back .. makes it hard to choose an occupation as well.
When you said that when we tell our ideas to people and feel like they're good. We don't work on the idea because "the idea is the drug". I stopped the video and I was like..UGHHHHHHH!!! This happens to me and in order to prevent it I tell no one about my ideas but I try to do my best to tell them BY ACTUALLY MAKING THIS IDEA COME TO LIFE. And this is actually very difficult hahaha
YES! SO ME! I finally was able to go through with writing a book, though, and I'm working with a INFP friend to edit it because I certainly couldn't do it by myself :) It was hard, but I was able to break the disinterest I had in it after I told people my ideas. It still happens in other creative projects, though, but I think that's what makes us ENFP's special.
I cant stop laughing at how accurately you roasted all of our functions in the most helpful way possible hahaha - "HOW DARE THESE TINY SI DETAILS SUFFOCATE and prevent me from reaching MY GRAND PLANS" 😂👌✨
As an ENFP, this was pretty difficult to pay atention to, I'm trying my best to see the full video, but at the same time I hear birds outside and I'm wondering how diffucult would it be to have a bird pet.
I really appreciate the way you tie your piano skills into these videos! Also, please don’t cut those eyebrows. You have the best eyebrows on YT. Interesting video! I need more ENFPs in my life, I think.
duuuude i connect EVERYTHING!!! in conversation with my friends i’m always like “so this thing happened the other day, which ironically is what i was thinking about last week when i was watching this one movie, and that’s how i realized the thing that happened when i was 5 is the reason i’m the way i am now!! anyway just thought of that because of that thing you said”
I relate so much! I kept going through INFP and ENFP and after peoples comments, videos, and research, I’d like to confirm I am indeed an ENFP. I love relating to other people! It makes me feel not so misunderstood!
I'm not sure if I've commented on this video before or not, but I just came back to say (again?) that I really appreciate your explanation!! I rewatch this video a lot. It's refreshing to be taken seriously (maybe this sounds dramatic lol, sorry if that's the case). So many ENFP explanations are along the lines of: "fairy" "rainbows everywhere" "helping everyone stay positive" "sunshine only" "can't really do anything or contribute much, they just smile and never finish things" "manic pixie" etc. All of that is fine, and sometimes fun, and does accurately capture some parts of many (but not all) ENFPS (I DO feel full of rainbows and sunshine when I'm very happy! I can take on too much and drop the ball sometimes...), but I think those descriptions miss some of the important things that I value about our type. This feels like a much more comprehensive and fair (maybe fair is a weird word to use, but that's what comes to mind!) explanation. Also, you give off teacher vibes (and from other vids it seems like you are, in fact, a music teacher?), and I love an engaging lecturer =D! I can feel my loyalty energy getting activated hahaha!! I'm going to go on a video sharing spree!!
Do one about the unfulfillment of being everybody’s friend and always seen smiling yet feeling empty as a nightsky without stars when ending the day alone, please? :)
As an auxiliary Ne user, I sometimes think any more Ne would make me crazy. Ne doms have functionally harnessed pure chaos as an energy source and it's scary.
I like that you mention things that have not been said before about types. Watching/reading type descriptions can very much be like hearing the same thing over and over, you make it feel not so repetitive.
Nathan you are great at making this content! You have brilliant logic to deduce what people are interested in hearing, extraverted intuition to make new connections to produce fresh content, you can keep it up because you are so good at maintenance and you clearly feel the importance of people enjoying your channel and approving your content. Perfect combination! I am fascinated ✨
I like that you used a chord progression as part of the example of forming connections between unrelated things. 🤔 I'm an Ne-dom, and I've been playing around with a video idea involving using chords as a way of demonstrating certain metaphysical theories. I'm called out. 😅
Actually @Juanita F. , that's pretty good. I'm old enough to remember when the Japanese recognized that they had an issue with creativity in their culture. They were masters of taking a great idea and fully developing it, but they were fully aware that it wasn't their idea to begin with. For example, Sony bought the transistor from RCA and built from that. Another was the SLR camera. Exacta, a German company, had developed the flip up mirror so that you could focus through the same lens that delivered the image to the film. The problem was that you had to cock the film for the mirror to drop back in place. I guess they figured ' what's the point of focusing the camera if you're not ready to shoot?' I dunno. A small company at the time in Japan, Pentax, recognized that people might want to do that and developed the Single (focus) Lens with a mirror that Reflexively flipped back into place after the photo was taken. This issue with creativity and innovation concerned them enough that they started trying to find ways to teach it. I think it was Noam Chomsky who tied the structure of a culture's language to the way it collectively thought and dreamed. Japanese (at the time) was a very rigid language that required a new symbol for each new concept putting them in a horse pushing the cart situation. By comparison, English is said to be a brutal language to try to learn if you're new to it because the very many ground rules seem (are actually) so chaotic and full of exceptions and contradictions. But once you've got a grip on them, their are no constraints. As my father, an English teacher, used to tell me "Yes you have to learn them, but the reality is that if you're using English and can be understood, it's good English." We make conceptual connections based on observation and worry about naming it later. "Haiku of sorts" is a good description. I think it bends the strict definition of one a little but I also feel that adding a bit of flexibility to anything so rigid is a good thing. Otherwise it risks being left behind and forgotten by evolution. Well, that and the three lines that you wrote accurately described how I sometimes feel about being ENFP and made me laugh about it. Nice!!!
ENFP here. Honestly... I’ve never once been bored. Even if I’m waiting at the DMV, waiting in line at the grocery store, or in bumper to bumper traffic... I’m having a good ol time. I will think of ideas.. daydream... reminisce.. My inner world is my favorite place to be.
KFizzleDizzle i am ESFP/ENFP(IDK. What i’d say ESFP cause i am kind of materialistic put a lot of emphasis on how i look i am very much into fashion,love sensations and i am a performer:-i sing) but i’d also go for ENFP cause i am idealistic,daydreamer chaotic,flighty:-i easily jump from one topic to topic unrelated,i am clumsy messy and disorganized and got that “crackhead energy”. I am also a Gemini
Wow, very very insightful. Yeah, everything is a metaphor for everything else in my eyes. I notice I loose people in conversations a lot because I'm already 5 steps down the rabbit hole and they are still on the edge trying to figure out where it's going. I don't plan, I just aim an go for it and adapt along the way and yes small hurdles instill extreme frustration in me. I rarely get mad at people directly but will blow up at the "situation," like it's the situations fault I can't keep my momentum. Thanks for the video.
Both Champaign and series of chords involves the interaction between the producer and consumer. In other words, a Champaign maker carefully selects a variety of grapes used in the fermenting process to create a distinct taste and aroma that are tailored to individual preferences. Similarly, a music composer carefully select each chord/note to fine-tune a unique sound that stimulates a person’s mood/emotion. Both Champaign and series of chords are very delicate. Even adding a small percentage of a varietal grape blended in Champaign alters the aroma and flavor. Similarly, by changing a single chord alters the overall sound and interpretation of the final end piece. The aroma/taste produced by specific types of Champaign, and the unique sound generated by series of chords have the ability to stimulate our memory - recalling familiar senses associated with a specific time, people, place, or thing. “The champaign’s acidity level reminds me of my grandmother’s organic lemons grown in her backyard. She used to add them in my tea whenever I visited her in the summer.” Or... “the sound of these chords reminds me of a similar tune used in Sesame Street’s audio books that I listened to as a child every night before I sleep.” LOLOL Totally BS this.
Amen! Generating ideas is the goal in itself. Not implementing them, for sure. I loved this video, thanks from an ENFP. Every single word you say is true.
Thank you very much! There is a link to our Discord server in the description of the video, feel free to check it out. There are lots of people on there that you might enjoy interacting with - including myself! ~ Nathan
The connections fact made me SO happy, because I used to feel like I was crazy cause no-one would notice the relations between those things, I even thought I was kinda crazy or something. The fact that I'm not alone is so relieving
This vid was me all over, I love creating new things in my head, the excitement of it, the initial planning, the fantasising of its possibilities is such a high for me, but I equally lose interest of it so quickly. But I have seen the blessing of this part of me also, it's given me a "I don't give a crap, I'm going to try it" attitude to life, I'm not not going to try something because I'm scared I will fail, I get frustrated when I am not an expert straight away but it never stops me from trying in the first place. Through it I have picked up multiple random but amazing hobbies throughout my life. It's even allowed me to transition into a different career that I never thought I'd be able to get into. Channelling this trait with discipline I think will make loads of ENFPs unstoppable in life, and that's what I hope to do.
My sister is an ENFP, I would describe her as kind of a kentaur that is part rainbow-Unicorn and part bulldozer. But that is from an ISFJ perspective and we are certainly neither unicorns nor bulldozers.
As an INFJ, ENFP Shadow can be quite Nefarious. Also that champagne bottle and music chord analogy can be indicative of someone who is of high class, or of extravagant wealth. Classy, brilliant mysterious obscure but intellectual. An immediate image of someone of this character came to mind.
You are so insightful it’s getting scary. Great job! Given your deep understanding, you would be doing the ENFPs a life changing favor if you did a piece on practical tips (e.g. staying disciplined, being more assertive rather than prioritizing harmony etc.). There is abundant advice that tells you what to work on, but most if not all fail to use MBTI types’ strengths to ensure the change can stick. Thanks for all that you do!
(ENFP) There's just not enough lifetimes to follow our every Ne business plan or idea. We have so many people inside our minds, yet only one body. Unless we have a team of people at our disposal, our Fi is going to be constantly concerned over whether we're following the "most" important things. Si 'boring details' annoy us because they are eat away at our limited time & resources. We need to hire worker-bee's for all that...
I don’t think INTJs would like that, it would be far to inefficient for them. Anyway their Ni genius is far too intangible and subconscious to be put into meer words
Brilliant, Love Who and leave your eyebrows alone. They have a personality of their own. and if Frank James who is Cool and Attractive has his Hair, your signature may well be your eyebrows. wink and a nod. My observation of the ENFP relationship to my type as an INTJ is similar to most people's and creatures reaction. I like them. They are fun and open and easy-going, in my experience and smart and they present themselves a bit like a happy go lucky puppy and or golden retriever. If you read Dean Koontz, you understand the preternatural intelligence they keep hidden. They are Bouncing, and have abright eyes, are eager and enthusiastic and loyal. Popular. The kid most likely to be Voted, "Most Popular". Everyone village needs their ENFP's and Winnie the Pooh who has a Tao of his own. However, it is the ENTP's type and their odd, quirky creativity that resonates the most with me and who I would want on a desert island with me. Love Who has terrific content. I like your videos because of their pace, information and, presentation. And the content creator is charming, aye a fine bonny lad or do I mishear a hint of an Outlander accent?
and a side note reference to the word, furry. A group of Ferrets is called a Business. Never refer to your Ferrets as your Fursuits or a polite and inquisitive Furry will want to know more...
Thank you for giving me a head start on going back to College. I get really bored easily too. Quarentine has been so difficult for me, so thank you. Plus, I am learning to think before I talk. Lol
"Inside the mind of the ENFP" Oh my I hope you've bring a map because it's a little chaotic in here. I mean, it's a good and organized mess, but still (cordially -ENFP)
as an INTP I can relate to the ENFPs connecting seemingly random things through my second function Ne, though I think there still must be some kind of difference between the two ways in which we do it as I've heard that the secondary function is simply our way of applying our first function to the real world
ENFP and fellow welshie here! I love your videos if you couldn’t tell as I’ve been searching all the way back for anything ENFP related which I think is a super enfp thing to do hahah
I always talk to myself.. like this whole video is js me in my room, js walking around. Or maybe talking to my cat. Or even doing the dishes. My mom literally thinks I’m crazy. And also I get off topic way too much. My mom js rolls her eyes when I tell her that I have to tell her a story, it usually last like 20000 years lmao. Anyways, idk bye
You speak of all types very highly (and very very well, I learn a lot from your vids which I'm really grateful for and the way you speak is so insightful and almost poetic) but this makes me curious about if you have a favourite type? I know they all have their pros and cons and every individual will be unique but is there a particular type you just enjoy meeting or learning about the most?
Yeah, a lot of times I'll follow the connections I make to a conclusion, ,but then even I am unable to fully grasp how it is I arrived at the conclusion. Extremely frustrating when explaining things to people who can't intuit the steps in between. With other strong Ne's I'm able to just give them an answer and they get it, but I dont want to be limited to only properly communicating with a fraction of the population. Any advice?
Thanks Nathan. Sometimes my ideas are so abstract they only have very subtle or niche applications, or they may even be incomplete, and discussing an incomplete idea is important to me, but others can become very confused or uninterested in following the path i'm taking, claiming it to be pointless or not worth their time. this causes me to feel very isolated from others, as this world in my head is where I am, but I can't bring anyone in there with me. I only get recognition for the result of my process and not for the process itself. But still, thank you for the advice, I'll keep that in mind. Love the videos! keep up the great work :)
While I'm watching this video I'm reading The Metamorphosis (Kafka) and i can I swear I got scared when your eyes just pump up when you was explaining the eyebrows stuff.
I am an ENFP and I have tone of Business ideas but never do them BUT I found a friend who I still don't know what she is but she is more the type to do thing so we are working on building a business together every time I found details that might not work I want to give up but she is like still let's do it ahha
Oh my god. I met an intj guy while ago. A very randomn awesome date but we do not live in the same country...nevermind...we were there having great debates and all and he was like "you could put those things into the world" and I was like "ohhh no its ok I already know in my head and the idea now is making me bored already" 😂😢
alright 4:20 - 4:54 just ABSOLUTLY had my number. i cannot believe how accurate that entire bit is, as I quite literally aspire to be an IDEA GENERATOR and then have other people execute the project. (direct quote i often share when speaking about my career goals). just - wow.
can someone help me with knowing the difference between enfp, and esfp? Im like 95% sure im enfp but like i did 4 tests (3 on the same website) and the last one i did said i was esfp. The first 3 were on the 16 personalities website sooooo...
Both are very outgoing and like to have fun! But the ESFP is likely to be more stable and less ADHD because their S is only dealing with reality and what they take in by their senses. Whereas with an ENFP, their N is more abstract thinking and not necessarily reality. Hope that helps. Its all on a spectrum so you are likely close to the middle and have some ESFP qualities.
Is anybody here an ENFP mom I’m an ISTP and my mom and I don’t always get along great. And it’s not just common mother-daughter tensions, I’m fairly certain that it’s as a result of our minds working so differently. I’m pretty sure she’s an ENFP and I’m trying to understand the inner workings of her mind bc observing from the outside has done nothing😂
Kaila Y I can relate to you although I’m the ENFP daughter of an ISTJ mom (lol) we contradict in almost any kind of way I can think of and our way of seeing things are very different. But this is what makes us so compatible at the same time. We are complementary.
i´m not a mom but as an enfp i often hearr people say i´m like a different person every day, hour, minute and second. So i think observing doesn´t do much and trying to understand us doesn´t do the thing. I´ve known my best friend since i was 4 years old and after so many years she also tells me thaat i´m always different it´s just a thing of accepting whatever when it comes to "understanding" enfp´s if that makes any sense to you. Don´t try to understand eachother but rather accept eachother and worrk from there. ^^
Yes, always coming up with an idea or plan and then get bored with it. For example, I spent 4 months converting a cargo trailer into an RV. I got done with it and then sold it because after I finished, I lost interest. 😢
ENFP here. As soon as I saw the champagne and heard those minor chords, I thought of Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca, for some reason.
I am ENFP and agree with the boredom for sure! It even made me question my type, but I think the questioning of my type is an indication of my Ne getting bored with being the same type and wanting to try on another type (ESFP) for size. Haha.
I am writing a book I have a tiny bit of it on paper because I can’t type it I have to write it it’s only the 25th one I’ve started so it seems I may have a completion problem thanks for letting me know what a loser I am....But I’m completely fabulous LOL when I am on top of my game which is at least 1/10 of 1% of my life
1:43 I am intp and my friend is enfp, ive never laughed like that. My friend make a mess my doing anything and his sense of cleaning his house is something he dont feel, even when he already cleaned there is a mess, going out for work can be difucult proces and when something went wrong i see a big emocional impact but there is fast comeback, i realy like his relaxed cognitive feeling state of mind but that fixing on idea is a lot of pain
It's the width of the sides *&* contrast of color to skin on the sides, in conjunction with the volume & height on top.....Consider taking the sides down all the way while maintaining moderate [1:20], defined volume on top (mousse, & let it shift toward your left ear on top), & I think you'll enjoy the look. The brows will frame your face, and shift in volume will bring good attention to your mouth.
Tell me about it and the amazing business idea i create every other week, my favourite is matching new people I know with my business ideas…as a present in a way? It’s so cool to see my ideas become a reality… when I don’t have to actually do them
ENTP here. Watching this video at 5:36 AM having not yet gone to sleep. My current thought is "I like this video...but I really wish I could have a setting that allows me to watch multiple youtube vids at once..bummer" Hahaha Ne is one hell of a trip
I am very much am still looking into what I am - I've done a 16 personality test back in the winter 2017 - with an ESFJ-A result, then winter of 2019 I got an ISFP-T and winter 2021 an ENFP-T... I feel like a hybrid cross of all
