Oh, yeah.. there's this too. There's no greater sense of belonging and understanding than that which comes from reading posts from other ENFPs.
So, so true
. I get a sense of belonging and deep understanding when I read other ENFPs posts about things and hear their responses to the things I say. I have had an ENFP male friend for years and was friends for awhile with another ENFP guy and I definitely think they are different in alot of ways than the girls. But I think it's more of a difference in external and action-oriented type stuff than inner processing and values...maybe I'm wrong? I just know that alot of times we will agree on something and use a similar thought process to get there but then we will take different actions as a result (although we both understand why the other decided to do what they do and can relate-just prefer to do things a little differently in execution I guess.)
My dad is an ENFP and I am totally my father's daughter. I absolutely adore him and we are so alike! Iit is so nice to have an older ENFP to talk to about life situations. Alot of the lessons I can tell I'm having to learn he will bring up (without knowing, as in he has already gone through learning whatever the topic is about himself) and give great advice on.
There was a girl in one of my classes that I could never decide if she was ENFP or ESFP and eventually was erring more on the ENFP side. However, she really got under my skin...but maybe that's because I felt in competition with her a little? She was also kind of crazy, too :rolli: (god knows I'm not saying someone wouldn't think the same of me haha
)
One of my best friends in the world who (oddly) tested originally at the end of high school as an ESTP recently took the test again (it's been 5-6 years since) and scored as an ENFP. It makes sense because I was always trying to figure out how she was an ESTP haha. And we do get along super well, are very similar (I feel she is much better at confrontation and standing up for herself, though and I am much more in tune with my emotions than she is) and I do feel a special 'connection' with her. Like previously discussed I feel like we talk so much but then can also just be silent and understand. We also crack each other up like crazy
Ending note, I have alot of best friends who are INFJs (including the girl I live with.) They seem to nuture me really well. Let me talk as much as I need, and then provide very good insight into things about myself I sometimes don't even realize. It's like i get so caught up in other people's emotional motives and why they feel things that sometimes I forget to step back and analyze my own-which they do expertly and unbiasedly but still with a big warm and fuzzy hug at the end
