More type confusion! Yay
Post Body

Ok so I think Iā€™ve made a lot of progress trying to find my type and itā€™s essentially boiled down to ENFP or INFP, and I donā€™t really think thereā€™s really anywhere else it can go. I realized that I realistically canā€™t be ESFP, it just doesnā€™t sit right. Iā€™m too out of tune with my environment to be an Se-dom, Iā€™m not very assertive at all, and I donā€™t relate to always trying to be on the spotlight all the time. I donā€™t mind it, but Iā€™m not constantly putting myself out there like ESFPs do. Also In previous posts, I was told that I write too much, care too much, and put too much time into MBTI, and question my type too much to really be ESFP or ISFP, and thinking about it, the nature of xNFP fits me way more than the Se nature if that makes sense lol. If needed, feel free to check my previous posts, they have way more information about me.

The main thing I relate to about ENFP is being extremely passionate/obsessed about anything and then getting utterly ATTACHED to it to the point where I canā€™t let it go. Thatā€™s my position with MBTI right now. Also I donā€™t know if yā€™all really believe in the ā€œenergized by people/aloneā€ indicator but Iā€™d definitely say Iā€™m more energized by people. If you donā€™t subscribe to that feel free to disregard. But those are the main things that make me strongly lean more toward ENFP. I also relate to having this really enthusiastic additude in conversation if itā€™s something Iā€™m passionate about, but much less so if weā€™re just doing mundane stuff.

But my problem is, I really donā€™t relate to constantly having ā€œabstract thoughtsā€ all the time or going on tangents in conversation. I usually stay on track and if I change the subject, itā€™s to steer the conversation to something I really want to talk about (like mbti or something). Yeah but I donā€™t really go on ā€œwhat is the meaning of lifeā€ kind of tangents, I think my thoughts are almost completely just focused on what Iā€™m currently obsessed with at the time, and less so with random ā€œabstract connections.ā€

So idk.. do you think Iā€™m just overthinking again or do you think I could actually be a completely different type? Please let me know what you think Iā€™d really like some input on this. Everything about ENFP is fine except for this one part and itā€™s driving me crazy, it may or may not be a big enough sign of me being a different type and I canā€™t tell so Iā€™m turning to yā€™all. Thank you for reading this and sorry if this was kind of a waste of time lol.
