My new book, THE ENFP CALLING, is out now in Audiobook (I narrated), Print, and Digital. It's on Amazon (amzn.to/3Hn75Wv ), Audible ( www.audible.com/pd/The-ENFP-Calling-Audiobook/B0D79QMDCR? ), and most everywhere else you can get books books2read.com/enfp

[@enfp]

And before you think "Oh god, another KZbinr / Coach wrote some sh*tty book summarizing their videos...Scout's honor...this book is the furthest thing from regurgitation. It's 270 pages (or 8 hours on audiobook) of new ideas, stories, and insights. Check out the reviews on Amazon ( amzn.to/3Hn75Wv )

[@Jessica-pt7sn]

I'm an ENFP that struggles with anxiety & depression and has had a hellish 2020 with everything that's been going on. I so relate to finding "rest" in old movies. I actually often find myself having phases where I can't mentally keep up with all the new TV shows I want to watch and end up re-bingeing shows i've seen hundreds of times (The Office U.S., Parks & Rec, Friends, etc) and now I can fully understand why I do this. I give up so much of my mental space to thinking about the future (and mostly being anxious about it) so I bring myself back to the present by putting on something familiar with no surprises so I can stop thinking ahead and simply just "enjoy" that moment.

[@mawarusekai]

Omg so me Even tv shows

[@Blamzy]

Stop watching news every single day if it overwhelmes you. Try less social-media and it will drastically help. :)

[@davidmadison5582]

Rely on the best thing about you. Your close friends. Things will get better. The world is not ending. Money is nothing, you may go broke before you find your niche. If I were to give you advice I would say it's not what you know but who you know... Or in my case who you meet along the way. Follow your heart, never give up. You're an ENFP ... people love you. Keep moving forward!!!!!

[@Anna-vj5hp]

Yooooo I went thru that too. I have high risk health problems so I have been quarantined this entire time. I missed people so I found connections by watching shows and relating to the characters and their friendships. The way I handled anxiety was to do the best I could and keep myself safe and healthy. Just keep doing your best so you don’t feel guilty and let go of things that you can’t change (this is hard). After you come out of this time, life will be more vivid and you will have a sort of renaissance (for me it was an increased interest/skill in art and music). You got this, and if you need help, we got you!! 🥰🌸

[@CoddiMJ]

I've never related to someone so deeply aha, I'm also an ENFP who struggles with depression and anxiety and I'm always watching old episodes of the office and finding rest in classics that I love. I hope you find comfort in not feeling alone in who you are, as I know loneliness can be quite the killer.

[@andrewrojas1543]

You just made me realize why I’ve become so lazy and comfortable and why it bothers me. Lately I’ve been working on my Si (unknowingly) by trying to look deep into myself as to find some sort of answer as to what would make me more satisfied in life. I usually chase ideas but more recently I get too overwhelmed and discouraged opting towards sitting inside alone playing games or watch youtube. I have been relying on nostalgic activities to comfort myself instead of leaning into my impulses. I may be comfortable but I am not satisfied, now I see what needs to change.

[@caesar7951]

[@jordenjoonyan8666]

Did u find out how to overcome this?

[@sschwartz1488]

When you said we weren't analytical, I was like "Wait, but my job is highly analytical (Data Analytics)." But then I realized I enjoy the story telling, creating graphs way aspect more than the organizing of data. All of my decisions are usually based on my gut feelings.

[@RJO16]

This is super interesting! I am in the engineering field, but lately I've moved away from my primary outputs, instead opting for developing supporting systems (like data analytics) for my primary outputs.

[@WrenBird449]

You crack me up when you call us out on the lies we tell ourselves and others. XD "Shut up. We're not analytical."

[@smritisingh1586]

I feel every ENFP has knowingly or unknowingly developed their Si in this pandemic and are now trying to get out of it

[@piyushwalter9755]

Hello! As an ENFP yourself. Are you open to discuss about our personality type's attachment style yea? Would love to listen to female perspective on the topic. Thank You

[@sandralujan1199]

I think thats what happened with me too. I actually found out im a proper ENFP not the other personality i thought i had because i was answering the questions based on what i thought were right and true. Turns out im different and i get the wiggles lol

[@ellier2018]

Interesting theory

[@shreya4143]

You're so much right, infact I just feel like after pandemic my life has all become about dwelling in the past and it has made things way too difficult for me

Alright. I think I understand now why I love the 70s, 80s and 90s fashion and music culture.

[@JonathanLopez-lk8wo]

In order to be logical, meditate. This will allow you to see past your emotions in the moment. You don’t have to act on emotion always.

[@karolinatrojan936]

Oh my, this thing about old movies clicked so much for me, I just love rewatching Harry Potter movies. They’re my little comfort places, the only thing that put me to sleep after a tough breakup

As an ENFP, one of the things that has been huge with connecting to my past is meditation and plant medicine like psilocybin mushroom. The latter is mind blowing.

[@juliettespain7994]

I also think it's your development as a child, what you are exposed to. For me ENFP-A TWO parents from different nationalities, religion, and culture . Very diff. even the languages. We lived SaudiArabia, Europe. For my diplomatic dad's job Traveling was phenomenal for me developing my mind. So as an ENFP-A, I am a wiz in linguistic traits. Easy to fit in different cultures.

[@genevieve1252]

Yes 🙌🏼 dont question 🙋🏻‍♀️ that intuition!

Exactly!!

[@lizl1407]

NE -- I always seem to be on the forefront of every trend, the things I am into today are often trendy six months to a year from now. If I were able to develop my TE I might be able to monetize this "superpower" but so far it's just an interesting thing I've noticed

Lol quarantine got me dropping right in to WAYYY too much Si 😂. Tbh it's good to know though as I often find when I'm feeling anxious that watching old shows and movies calm me down SOO much. It's a great way to relax for us when life is getting to be too much!

[@ranyoungkim8106]

Hi!!! Thank you very much for sharing ENFP development insights. I'm a total ENFP having hard time at work(disciplined environment). When I see the videos depicting ENFP personality.. I feel a bit down because it seems like we are ppl who can never make work done. But your video is guiding how to develop mature and successful ENFP personality :) Helps alot

[@onehappygirl1553]

I’m still young(14) and I really should work on my introverted feeling and extroverted thinking... my introverted sensing is actually ok... I feel like my go back place are my friends I had since I was really little especially the one I’m closest to, I always feel safe with her and can relax but still have some fun times but like it’s also fun to just lay back and talk ^^

[@stubborndetermination6373]

My daughter is an ENFP and she hates talking about the past. She can’t say why but now it makes more sense to me and I understand. Thank you.

[@petrahorcicova6641]

Hello Dan, I really love your videos and all your wisdom. But could you please make a video about how to be a "healthy" ENFP? I feel stuck in my past (traumas etc) and I just feel like I lose myself. thank you Petra

[@enfp]

Hey Petra. Thanks for the suggestion! I added it to my list for new videos and articles!

[@ranyoungkim8106]

Omg... I was really like what you've described. In my early 20s, I liked too many things, I was attracted by most of the people.. I was so confused at that time.. I felt like my mind was like a messy room. So I tried all the things that's appealing, I met many many different types of people. Sometimes other friends thought that I need to concentrate on one thing and be professional at it. And I a lot of times hated myself why am I like this. I think l experienced like 3 times more than what normal people would. Now I'm in late 20s and I'm more and more satisfied of the decision I'm making. I now know that even though people have attractiveness, there are few people whom I can sustain deep relationship with. Now I know what I don't like, now I know among many values what is more priority for me. As you said, I know what I want faster, I know my life value priorities and I'm so satisfied of myself still continuously developing myself. 🙂🙂😊

[@emoore4501]

THATS AMAZING MAN HOW FAR YOU'VE COME AND YOUR STILL GOING!!! I managed to set up a little business, get organised and just smashed it for like a year but here comes the excuses lol.. covid lockdowns wasn't good and started doing pain killers and now I keep coming off them lasting a little while and going back on to them. I was expecting a fall after going realy high with setting up the business and my head in the clouds but not as bad as it has been. Its weird it's like I have 2 extreme personality's. 1 that realy wants to do well and achieve all my goals/dreams and the other which is self destructive and realy wants me dead I think! Anyways I'm starting to realy understand more about my personality now with finding all of this so hopfuly and in God's will it will help me to get back up and hopfuly level my extremes out a bit 🙏 All the best

@Karicat Watts he’s done quite a bit of infp videos as well. I know hes an enfp.

[@JeromePowerrr]

Exactly what I needed this Sunday, Dan!

[@Blamzy]

It makes a lot of sense. You can't go forward if you're stuck in the past, so that's why we process things so fast. I just need to learn that sometimes it's needed to reflect the past to go forward in the right direction. I'm in my early twenties and I still have a lot to learn. I somewhat have a clue of where I want to go in life, but it's only a few years in the future.. I'm still a mess but at least I know my personal values. Thanks for the insight. :)

[@enfp]

Thanks Claudia... And yes its on the list to come... Eventually :)

[@Bryce.W]

Thanks Dan! super helpful video. I might look into your group coaching session this coming week. :)

[@ES1077]

Thank you for this video...very helpful in intuiting my own situation and how to break through. ENFP...I find a major life event that upsets going forward as predicted puts Ne and Te on pause. Illness, loss, breakup, etc... Fi went into shock: I felt wrong personally...shame that I didn’t see it coming. I am the eternal optimist and don’t look for the external pattern of possible negative life impacts. Si wants things to go back to the way they were. Breaking thru this Fi/Si despair with the sudden passing of my husband of 42 years has been a learning experience these last 2 years. Ne/Te/FI kicked in: to do the “right thing”.even though it all felt so wrong that this was my life: rituals of memorials, burial, clearing, crying, yelling at God, etc...all predictable and normal, but my ENFP did not predict or consider it normal. The ENFP blind spot? The Fi is still challenged in accepting the new normal as me...single. I feel married which has been my external experience these many years. I am dating and have met some good people...which is helping to internalize my feeling identity as single. I know Te wise, I am single. Fi seems to require the external experience to feel it as my truth. Si is even slower to adjust. Extreme self care with meditation, journaling, daily bubble bath soaks, quiet in nature, etc...is unthawing the internal sense from ‘alone” to “being on my own.” An important distinction. Time and patience is easing Si into a positive experience of self. Ne and Te is restless to get on with it! Fi says I’m not ready for big ideas...go with the flow and love ourselves to build a solid foundation to support our life now and for the future. Ne responds, It is only year 2, the identity crisis of a major life change is normal, I’ll keep looking for patterns that will help; exercise is important, counseling? Te-keep it simple this year; stay focused on the most important...let go of the rest. Write down 3 things and do those...chunk it out, celebrate small successes. Overall, I do see and know there is a bright future for me. I’ve lived an extraordinary life for which I am grateful and love the journey of discovery and experiencing it all. I hope this helps someone out there that may be going thru a period of loss or confusion as an ENFP and respecting all of the functions to work it thru. With love for all of us! E

[@apetchell1]

Another great video full of insights. Thanks Dan

[@thesoundsofearth4454]

I’m an ENFP who is 18 years old and I gotta say my SI is pretty good, I’ve had a lot of trials so far and I’m sure there’s more to come so maybe that’s why I think is pretty good but idk, it could definitely get better as I age

[@susangrande8142]

As an old fart (I’m 62) ENFP, I can tell you that the extroverted intuition and introverted feeling will become great strengths and superpowers for you as they develop. For me, they’ve come out as knowing what to say to someone to help them think about a troubling situation in their life in a new and more freeing way. You will come to know deeply what your values are, and your intuitions about people/situations/other phenomena, and you’ll be able to act swiftly and decisively in ways that are consistent with your values. This is awesome for living a life of integrity! Cheers!

[@pomdigz9893]

I am an enfp female in my early 40’s- I started doing SI work at about 15yrs old

[@saritasarit]

Id love to see the video about developing quicker or slower. My mother has been telling me since day one that i always want to be 6 steps ahead on everything, like i want to master life and mature quickly. I am 28 and a mother of 3 and that has helped me developed my extraverted thinking as i need to be reliable and am responsible for many things and people, so now im quite organised. I think my SI is also very good as my family has a lot of traditions and we think and talk about the past and movies in a good way, so it’s very relaxing and comforting to go back to the same old things….that never fail. It was a great video, so helpful. Thanks you 😃

[@justanordinarydemigay5243]

I use my Si a lot to reminisce and learn, I actually look back a lot, not only to my experiences, but also to those of the people around me. I'm really anchored in the past and letting it go doesn't come naturally to me

[@kayiho5441]

Lately I’m really stress about something , stress about this and that and all the other things, but I always tried to move forward really fast and rarely dwell on the past and not sit in the feelings. But sometimes revisiting things are actually comforting , I didn’t know in the past but now I know, thanks for your explanation. I guess I’m developing a phase that’s coping with my stress and I think it’s better for me sometimes to slow done. Just an example of watching show, I’m always afraid of watching old shows, that I put time into watching old things and not on the new, while knowing that watching the old things are conforting but still have anxiety. Maybe sometimes I just need to slow down. When i get hurt from feelings, I always think of possibility and futures and not sit in the feelings for too long. It’s tiring to do that , also another thing that my INFP friend is always taking photos and videos of fun things and memory of life. I guess it’s nice to do that to allow us to revisit some moments in life to reflect. I never do those before meeting this friend, because I didn’t know the point of doing so. And if people come and go, why bother having pictures recorded. If they stick around, they do, if they don’t, we do something new. But I guess the value in saving those precious memories are valuable so we can revisit some happy time and time of frustration and where we at now. I didn’t like the idea before of revisiting the past and found out now we are missing our dear friends and things. But today I cleaned my closet and found some old birthday cards that my friend made for me, it’s heartwarming to me even thought we are not as close anymore, but in the things I saw, those heartfelt moment linger and marks what we felt in the past. It was beautiful and not sad, I was surprised.

[@christiangrady1291]

The stages of development you detailed are very interesting. I’m glad you prefaced it acknowledging the age scale is a broad generalization. As an ENFP-T who is only 33 I believe I’ve come to the last phase you described. I arrived there earlier than others due to the need to adapt and respond to constant turbulence early in life.

[@enfp]

Thank you for your videos on ENFP! I am a psychology student and took the Myers Briggs Personality test in one of my first psych classes a few years ago and came up as an ENFP. In addition, I am diagnosed Bipolar 2 disorder. How common is it to have Bipolar disorder and be an ENFP? There are so many correlations to me being both. I can impulsive, very outgoing but also can be a homebody, and constantly need to be learning or discovering something new and need stimulation.

This is great! No priority to "STEM" for this INFP!

[@enfp]

Glad you liked it :)

[@novaimperialis]

I think that I had found the difference between the ENFp, ENTp, and INTJ and INFJ. Since the first two have Si as their inferior or oppositional function, that means that besides the PoLR of socionics, this is one of the most weaker functions. However, in socionics, those types have Se as their role function. Meaning that they have easier access to it. As such, for an ENFp and an ENTp is easier to make decisions on the moment using their Se. However, because they have stronger access to Se, and less to Si, that means that those types have a harder time learning from their mistakes. On the other hand, INTJ and INFJs have Si as their role. Meaning that they will ruminate more on their past in order to see what mistakes they did, and how they can correct them in the future Ni. Since their Se is inferior or oppositional and is weaker than their Si, that means that they will be in a constant state of rejecting reality and reflecting. I wrote this because I was about to ask you based on some things that I wanted to say, if I'm an ENFp or INTJ. However, since I had discovered this difference, I think that the answer is pretty clear. You can still tell me if it is relatable to you as an ENFp. Is it?

[@ForeverCuriouser]

Woah.. 07:21 - 07:55.. I feel this so much (scatterbrained enfp here). I have so many ideas of what I could do in my head, but cant decide which one to do, and therefore don't act on any of them... and end up doing nothing instead 😅 MUST WORK ON Fi 😅🙏 and Te...

I would LOVE to hear more about ENFP / ENFJ relationships, cause I’ve come to find them really compatible, but would honestly appreciate some better informed feedback on the matter.

[@garretttringale436]

I'm an enfp male, my ex was enfj female. We were in a five year relationship and it was great, but ultimately it felt like we held each other back towards the end, maybe because we were a little too similar and played into eachothers worst impulses. I think I'm better suited with an INTX, I love the quiet confidence they have, and think they would be a good anchor for my far reaching self

[@candicecan1634]

@@garretttringale436 Thank you for sharing your experiences :) That’s very interesting, because my last relationship was ENFP/ENFP and while it was great in many ways, I felt like when it came to matters of organization and getting things done, I constantly had to take on all the responsibility or get comfortable with nothing getting done at all, as this wasn’t either of our strength. It left me feeling a bit more like a mother at times, rather than a partner. So I’ve really come to appreciate the “J” and find that I can connect naturally and share a lot with ENFJs. Plus, I think I can actually slip into being a bit more introverted than I think is natural for me, so I like how extroverts keep me more outgoing. That just kind of raised the interest in this particular combination of types 🤓🤷🏼‍♀️

I've always had people telling me that I should just focus on one thing, and not to lose time on other activities... But, thanks to you, I finally understand that it's my strong point and that It helped me figure out what was good for me :) so thank you for making me smile and feel better

[@susangrande8142]

They don’t understand ENFPs! They’re probably Sensers, not Intuiters, or Thinkers, not Feelers. It IS one of our superpowers to be super curious, and “cross pollinate” ideas/phenomena to come up with some new combination that the world hasn’t seen before. Besides, isn’t it boring to just study one thing at a time? 😁 You need a break every so often! Cheers!

Great video! I like the way you talk and explain things. I am new on this channel and on this whole mbti topic. Did I get that right: my last function is the weakest of all? So Si is even less developed than Se? (Which would totally be accurate in my case.) I got ENFP multiple times from taking tests but also by reading through the description of the functions and comparing. So I can definitely see myself there. But however: I got the impression by listening to different ENFPs on youtube, that ENFPs are very, very nice and considerate. And there are definitely times I am not. :D e.g. when I have to criticize someone, I can be brutally factual, and honest, and I don't sugar-coat it. Or if I am annoyed by the jabbering of people, I answer in the shortest way possible, almost ignoring them - I see myself as extremely unpolite in these situations but most people don't even notice. Does my "meanness" exclude me from the ENFP-club as you guys ALWAYS seem so friendly?

[@rupalism]

I also get “mean” at times but overall I am a good company so people tend to forget about it. I also feel coz I am usually considerate even slightest “mean” or “direct” conversation might seem big in my head, but might not be in reality to others! I try to relax during such times 😋

How to develop introverted feeling and the other fuctions? You could make video of all of them functions separatedlt in depth too.

[@susangrande8142]

If I may (I’m 62 and have some experience doing this), pay attention to your emotional reactions to things, starting with what you say or do in response to some stimulus. There are lists of words that describe feelings on the Web; I suggest finding one and keeping it handy to look at. With practice, you’ll start noticing that you feel differently about different things, and then notice the subtle differences among feelings. The feeling word list will help you differentiate among them. Then, you may come to notice that your body has different sensations in it with your different emotional reactions; they are strong clues to what you’re feeling, too. This was part of my process, and I’m still working on it. I hope this helps you. My wounded INTP mother tried to get me to shut down my feelings, and it took me a very long time to work into them. Keep trying; they’re important! Good luck!👍

[@AdamMansbridge]

What sucks in my current job is the danger of jumping into a different role Often to jump one needs to apply for a higher ranked job, and if you don't like it, you're stuck I'm lucky we adopted an agile development methodology, which let me try out different roles with no official oversight, and only commit after experiencing the job

[@rebeccajones6269]

I always feel so proud of being an ENFP after watching your videos ! .. looks like I need to develop my Fi a wee bit more.....so I can let go of things that are not meant for me.. quickly! .! 😉

That's the feeling I'm going for :) Thanks Rebecca!

[@dainsleif4824]

I was in a very bad position I ignored my gut my feelings of moving to another city and Starting to be independent, which it made me worse, my mental health was on the floor and everyday I was hurt mentally, like my job wasn't the best but was OK, but In exchange I would cry myself to sleep, so I decided to stop crying and knowing what is it bothering me, so I decided to listen my feelings, and had a conclusion that I wanted to move, again, but for that I have to go back where I came from, I felt trapped but I know if I go back I could take a lot of another options

[@bellaeastwood4292]

I’m an ENTJ (INTJs cousin we have the exact same functions just different order) who dated an ENFP for a very long time and have had many ENFP friends. I will say you guys are EXTREMELY likeable. I have Ni as my second function so I love your intuitive nature. You guys have good ideas too and it’s very fun to go on these abstract mental adventures with you guys. I do have some constructive criticism to give, (assuming you’re an ENFP) so maybe you can work on this. As a dominant Te user, logic is my way of life (same with INTJs btw). My problem with the ENFP is it’s not possible to reason with logic. You guys just don’t respond to it no matter how hard I try to break it down. You guys will just do whatever the hell you feel like doing, and then you find yourself at 35 years old and still having done nothing with your lives (sorry if that’s a rude wake up call). The problem is you don’t listen to peoples advice no matter how much sense it makes. You’re more concerned with having fun and socializing that you avoid taking on any responsibility or boring tasks that bring you closer to your goals. Fortunately you’re very likable so you can pretty much just get other people to help you with the hard stuff, but how far can you really go if you never feel like taking on the workload? Of course it’s uncomfortable working on the process and I understand that being a low Se user definitely doesn’t make it easier for you, but you NEED to focus and work on that. Your functions are like a muscle and they will become stronger the more you use them. There’s much more to life then just shooting the shit with your friends and wasting all your time accomplishing nothing. Pick out a ONE goal, and work on it RELENTLESSLY. I know you guys have a new goal every week but really try to pick the most important one (buying a house, building a business, finishing school, learning a language, starting a KZbin channel, etc). Quit chasing after fun all the time and go accomplish at least one thing and I promise you will feel so proud of yourself. You can start with working 10 minutes a day on your goal and slowly work your way up. The key is to be CONSISTENT and to do it every. Single. Day. With no excuses like oh I’m hungover, or oh I have to go to a party soon, or oh I actually my dog needs a bath. Just focus on your goal, and work until you’ve reached it. Quit fucking around.

[@mightyr9721]

I really appreciate your comment, I don't like to be this way, I do pay attention to friend's advice (mostly when I reach the bottom of some project failure). It is really hard to finish chores, it drains me and it's the gate of more unfinished duties/projects. Despite I all independent and don't like to others mess up with my unconventional lifestyle, I would love to have an assistant that push me to do my things. The very few times I have used an scheduled to do list, it has worked well for me. I will do my best to stick with it. Again, thank you for your words, it's the kind of punch in the face I need in order to be functional. I wish I could have more of those punches so I could train myself to be able to function properly in the world. Big hug and blessings for you 🤗 ✌️

As a newly discovered ENFP at 38 years old, who before 35 it would of looked like I achieved nothing, now knows why I lived a crazy ass life before. I have the memories of all my family and friends, all the pieces fell together, all the multiple paths I went on, I have pieced them together like a jig saw, this is now in motion as everyone still sits in the same misery repeating the same patterns, I can help navigate with more detail. I now have entered the age to back me up where people take me more seriously, so the wisdom I have gathered from every experience, the good and the bad can now be relayed as our Te takes time (still causing problems as covid has left some of us living introverted, so not enough people to exercise this function on, making those who love us mental lol and me to voice my shit online gah) and Fi needs listening to, like actual, not this spontaneous (F)uck (i)t thing we do and take on more distracting activities, Fi is a personal one but there is your ticket to helping your ENFP friends with personal growth. We need locking up sometimes then we are forced to hear our F function not our pain in the ass T one, this has taken a full global pandemic for me to stop long enough to really have this lesson sink in (T.M.I. warning: I time mine when Fe starts having issues, werewolf time, normally a hormone attack 2 days before my period, took my whole life to see a self-harming pattern then take action on this, this would of been helpful years ago, close myself in my caravan and introspect). I should of been kinder to myself then maybe I would of learned to love my body as a vehicle, and my mind as my child self, learning to fuel it, maintenance etc. Learning that ST is a child/toddler function so treat it as so, imaginative, creativity, curiousty but disobedient, ADD charged, oblivious asf until we figure it was never the crazy life that is the problem as everyone says, it is the communication we have with ourselves when we are alone that dictates our movements in "reality". Personally when I was living more for the extroversion, the only thing I regret now is the decisions I made when I wasn't listening to myself, and when the world is ok again, I am looking forward to the crazy, just a bit more solid in myself, the experiences will be healthier, so my S function will follow, like a good little toddler (this is a future experiment, I actually never know, I'm the only thing I can't predict which means I have to be aware of all paths, making no path concrete, see the issue?). Good things take time, stick with the ENFP's in your life one day they will make sense lol and now the ENFP apology for Te just doing what Te does... goes on and on and on
