I am a 63 year old recently -discovered ENFP who worked in the engineering field for the last 40 years. Over this time, I always felt like I was in the wrong field, but making money and providing for my family was paramount. I always produced above average work and was rewarded accordingly, but I tended to always look towards greener pastures, generally looking towards new opportunities and positions at various companies that peaked my interest. It worked out well monetarily, but I always felt as if I were an imposter. This resulted in my retirement and subsequent major depression. I am on my way back, slowly but surely, acting as a mentor for graduate level engineering students. It allows me to watch these amazing minds at work and challenges me in a way that industry never could. Please follow your hearts in life, folks, it will lead you to some amazing places!

I almost cried watching this. I have watched many ENFP videos in the past but no one has described my life and feelings the way you did in this video. I finally feel like i'm not incompetent and alone. I'm just different like other ENFPs. I have tried many jobs that are extremely mundane and detailed oriented and it ate my soul up. Everyone around me thinks I'm lazy and problematic for not being able to hold a job. They think I'm whiny and maybe even weak. But I really tried to the point where I have so much anxiety when even thinking about a job. I finally quit my job to do a design certification and I had some doubts about it. I'm 27 and still have no "expertise" in a particular field. When you said we mentally try to go towards a route that society deems "correct/right" it really struck a chord. The problem is I need to stop thinking logically about potential road blocks (internships/jobs/job market) and just go for it. I think your video just stopped my procrastination. I will definitely be coming back to this video to motivate myself and check out your other videos. Thank you Heidi, I truly mean it from the bottom of my heart.

As a 43-year-old ENFP also working in the Civil Engineering field, for sanity sake, I find that the key is to first learn everything about the business, there are volumes of always-evolving standards in this practice. Once you feel confident in your knowledge, work towards management or teaching. The monotony of detailed repetitive work and manual data-entry and analysis is soul-sucking and leads to procrastination and potential depression. Keeping it personal and interacting with others creates a mental reward system that has allowed me to slug through some difficult days. I recently read that engineering was one of the top 5 BAD career choices for ENFP’s. I found that interesting to read as the rationale was due to technical and repetition-based tasks. The thing is, I love engineering and it helps me make sense of the world around me. I will likely shift career paths later on to teaching or management because I know that reading the room and working with people comes more naturally.

This rings true for INFPs as well. I am 28 years old and have studied 2 masters degrees in art and theology, and now feel like I want to learn more about sustainable agriculture. My well-meaning family and friends wonder things like "why can't you just focus". The truth is, I'm terrified of the idea of just being a pastor of a little church or doing another "safe and logical" job that "goes" with what I studied. I had a passion for development work in subsaharan Africa since I was a kid, dreaming about empowering people to use their own creative resources to build their own communities and lives. So even if my path looks random, it never actually was in my mind. I see all this learning in different areas as gathering different dimensions of one big picture. I have pursued the quest for a long time, yet felt occasionally guilty for doing so. But a few weeks ago I decided to fully embrace the quest rather than resist it: I want to get my intermediate French certificate, and work a few years so I can maybe save up for a 7-month course on development work. I even started watching videos about math and business, subjects I never liked but know you need to have a basic grasp of when in that field. This really does change my energy level completely. I noticed that a burst of "get yourself organized" is also a sign of stress for me, so I don't want to burn myself out in the other direction, but the freedom to learn really is a freedom to fly for me. Though I may get anxious because I hardly see anyone else doing it this way, I don't want to turn back. Hope you other free spirits find your balance between good structure and freedom too. Take care!

I've been unmotivated and sensing I need to take a break from studying TV and film production for now and go study another field maybe tied with math or a good teaching subject and make some money to finance my arts field then come back. I've been interested in fieldd that typically didn't interest me in the past like torture and now I'm itching dive in feeling it'll Equip me with necessary tools. My instincts are telling me to do so and my utmost desire is to Equip people the most too.

Its such a great personality type to be but also like a curse in this rigid mechanical system we live in. I can flourish at anything except keeping a routine oriented job...that I struggle with.....I have to feel free and flexible....its a must....I cant stand being told what to do, and being micromanaged. Sometimes I feel like i have to be self employed or it has to be something that is fun and exciting but has a limit to it. Like a seasonal thing, then moving on.....I just love change....My biggest fear is feeling stuck. I love photography, travel, humor, deep conversation, acting, and making/creating ideas and things. My worst enemy is being bored or feeling isolated from the world....or if I feel like I dont fit in....which is often...lol

This is so good. I work in a law firm as a receptionist. I used to be a journalist. It has been very soul sucking and hard to align myself with this world and it's been 10 months now. I need to go back into writing/creating/producing. You talking about energy is SO SPOT ON. I come home and I'm drained and un-energized and then I don't wanna do anythign else. Meanwhile, I could interview, write etc all day and then be so excited after the entire day is done. I need this again in my life -- the talk about energy is EVERYTHING. How can I go on and work, work, work in a field that doesn't inspire and create the way I'm used to for so many years. All for the sake of 'stability' - sometimes it's not worth that even, because as you said...you will have to accomodate your new lifestyle (one you don't want) with things you wouldn't have done/purchased had you been happy doing what you know you're meant to be doing. Anyone who reads this and is a person of faith - please say a prayer for me. I know what the Lord has me to do, but I've been conforming and losing steam quickly. Thank you for re-invigorating me by telling me what I needed to hear.

Uncanny as always, and timely. Three years of integrating self-care into my days, learning through MBTI how to better know self and other. ENFPs celebrate the gifts others bring. We seek, almost selflessly, to see others flourish. I can honestly say that I am at the peak of my skills with people and turning ideas into realities, much because I have learned the importance of tending my light. The journey just got so much more interesting!

I burnt out at 23 after years of almost no creative work at all. I lived in a charming community, with a huge garden, animals, children, a house to renovate, lots of events and a camping site where I met lots of interesting people. But I had no projects of my own, partly due to terrible self-esteem and health and partly due to not having enough money to be able to buy the tools and supplies I needed. I only ever helped others with their projects, took care of their children and household. Which was fine for a while, I got to know incredible people and loved the children and the animals, but then the pandemic hit, my health declined again and while the world was in lockdown, the farm was being renovated. 5 month of construction noise from 5 different directions by day and the workers being allowed to use the big event sound system at night. The owners did not want to enforce any kind of curfew and other insurmountable problems started to arise as well, so the community slowly crumbled. The day I got out of there, started to make music again and started to learn to draw, I came back to the land of the living. I learned that I cannot live without a creative outlet, something that is mine and mine only, and that it is vital that I take the time to look after my own needs. I have no idea what to do next career-wise, but at least I have hope and enough headspace to sort things through and make art.

I can just follow where my energy wants me to be which is like.....free? free to follow those sparks of inspiration and creativity.

Heidi, I’m turning 26 next month! And I’m trying to figure things out. I just separated from my husband back in January, it was so hard because he’s my best friend and I love him, but our life together was just not right and I had never been more drained, useless, and unhappy. He understood me pretty well, but he never UNDERSTOOD me. He’s an INTJ, so I hope that statement makes more sense now. Everything is so uncertain for me now that I’m on my own, but in all the best ways because now I’m free to create and live on my own terms. All this to say, I was in a deep dark place, more confused than I have ever been.

I have gone thru 3 failed friendships with INTJs. I feel it is the F part that is missing from the INTJs that makes connection very hard. That initial Ni Ne synergy is good but finding the F connection isn't something I have found INTJs can do with me. This feeling part I have discovered is hard to find with most people actually. I had to let go of the last INTJ friend when I said its good that I have found someone I can trust and they said, 'That is too much pressure." and their body language changed as well as they moved away from me clearly put off. This was after 4 years of knowing each other. I think most ENFPs are going to be too feeling oriented to do well without another feeler type to be vulnerable with. It is certainly true for me.

I did another ‘personality test’ with my organisation at the time. It was focused on workplace personality and was very comprehensive. It basically came up with a detailed breakdown. I remember saying to my boss, ‘I’m basically unemployable’. Now I realise that I have great strengths relating to people and connection. I am now a chaplain in public schools and I love my work. It couldn’t be more suited to me.

This is amazing; I had an extreme burnout in 2020 and had to quit a lucrative career. I am working again and still not even as close to the worker I was before. It is extremely disheartening. I feel restless and stressed, and am unable to remember or focus. I feel unanchored, and can’t figure out how to climb out of this. I am definitely checking out the boot camp! Thank you so much for all you do!

I'm 55 years old. I've worked as an attorney for most of my adult life. I absolutely HATE IT. Back in 2017 I found myself learning about personality types and coaching. So I became a coach, got a job in talent development, and soon after started a master's in Psychology. I was extremely happy, and then in 2020 I relocated and started a new job. Now I find myself doing something that pays really well, but I'm miserable again. 😭

Thank you for this. I struggle with all of my societal programming to be a certain optimal way but it's like having a constant battle with my shadow over what I think I need and what I actually need. I brick and mortared off my creativity to focus on money and spent all that money chasing happiness. Whole time hearing my heart beating on the other side of a cement wall. I'm trying to get back to myself, trying to not let the corporate bounds of society convince me to abandon who I am anymore. That all might sound really cryptic or dramatic to some but I know ENFP will understand😅 I'm still studying to find my type. I have to knock out some more options. I'm between all the intuitive mains at this point, childhood was really complicated with an a mass of influence from all different types. Being a people pleaser it is hard to pick out what I did for me and what I did for them. Main struggle is art... I have such a complex when I do art and I blame college courses for making me analyze the structure of art in an overly practical way. I love to analyze but losing the magical properties of creation turned my art mind palace into a conference room of all the opinions from other people of what I should be working on instead. I need some windows in there it's cold!

I relate to this so much right now - feel stuck, bored, procrastinating. I left my full time job in med device Aug 2020 to finish my MBA with hopes of getting into product management in med device. Covid resurged so I took a job at a CRO with financial issues I didn’t know about. Then a contract job as a medical device product manager at a toxic company and was let go. Now I’m a contractor, product advisor in the pharmacy insurance space. I took the job because I was unemployed and needed to provide for my family but each day I feel like my soul is dying more and more. I make decent money and they’ve mentioned converting me but I’m miserable. I’m not even sure what to do anymore since I had so many short stints, I feel I need to sit this one out at least to show recent long term job stability.

I literally have an interview lined up tomorrow to enter a company that would allow me to unleash my creative energy, allow me to take personal time off to feeding my mind body and soul, which seriously would allow me to be the best version of myself! You articulated this so well in the video! Probably because we are ENFP, but I locked in when you were breaking down the extroverted introspection. WOW! LET's HELP THE WORLD!!

This really resonated with me. I tested as ENFP when I first took the test. It was accurate for me when I took it (just came from living abroad, single, fun). Then, when I took the test again in a different phase of my life (married to someone who was unstable and lacked empathy…forced me to be the stable one and operate in logic to explain my feelings), I tested as ENTP. I appreciated the ENTP label more…maybe because it reflected the role that I was living in and made me feel tougher. But after watching this, I definitely know that my first score was correct, and I’ve been trying to change myself for years to accommodate expectations and limitations of those around me. I’ve had that square peg/round hole feeling for about a decade now. It’s time to shake things up! I’ve had my dark night of the soul, and I won’t go back to that way of life.

Do you have an update on what you ended up doing? It would really help my situation. I feel like it's my duty to provide for my wife and kids. But got the same no empathy, won't forgive, holds on to and brings up the past consistently. I am working 80 hours a week just to take care of them so I don't create or explore much. She holds grudges for 1 reason or another against my family and friends so I have backed away from the people who use to encourage me most. I feel guilty for sneaking text to my sister or old friend every once in a while just to say I miss ya bro, how are you? My love language is words and she thinks words are meaningless so she never says I love you or I miss you even though I say it all the time to her. I'm not trying to make her sound awful, she just has been hurt by someone or something or me at some point in the past and then remembers it forever and then says I can't have my sister or that friend in my life if she is going to be in it because I should be choosing my wife over my relatives and friends. She gives an ultimate, me or them. I'm having a hard time justifying "I want to make music and be creative and bla bla bla" is worth leaving my wife over. I'd rather provide and keep my commitment that marriage is a forever thing than pursue my own selfish desires to follow my dreams or "Hang out with my bros" every once in a while. (That's my thought process. But I feel like I'm not me anymore) I feel like I have to choose between my dreams or my wife and I feel selfish thinking about choosing my dreams when I can barely afford to take care of them now. She is an INTP but comes from a broken family growing up. She never uses words to encourage me and if I ever create something, she gets offended and it reminds her of the past when I use to record music early in our marriage which reminds her of me hanging out with my sister too much so she wont even listen to a song I created even If I create a new one now. She can't get over the past. She is never present and I cant have friends really so I only get harsh criticisms with no encouragement every day. I thrive off of encouraging and now I'm isolated and don't get any words of affirmation. I am drained and feel like I lost my life but I don't want to loose my wife either. I am always hoping if just keep going she will change and eventually forgive me. What can I possibly do in this situation. This video made me think my dreams might be important because I have no energy anymore.

@Calyb Williams I hope you're doing a bit better fellow ENFP. I realise that you posted this a couple of months ago, but thought I would deliver my insights since you were asking for advice. I believe from what you have written that you already know the answer to your problem deep down. It appears that your wife is incompatible with you and is a main energy drainer. Sorry if that's too direct but that was my takeaway, I'd advise meditating on it and trying to listen to your intuition about the situation if you need clarification :)

I had never heard of Meyers Briggs or attachment styles until recently I saw them alluded to on different women's dating profiles and they piqued my curiosity. Researching attachment theory really blew my mind and helped me make sense of my own feelings and actions, and what went wrong with a recent love affair I was very emotionally invested in. But there was something missing. Then I stumbled on your video ENFP and letting go. It was crazy because I had taken the test and it said I was ENFP but I don't usually put much stock in that sort of thing so it didn't mean anything to me. But when I watched that video I finally understood why I feel the way I do and that my feelings are valid even thought the people who are close to me can't understand. Now, watching this video is even more like coming home. Similar to my love life, my friends often don't understand my career decisions, and I've often wondered myself why I can't follow the same patterns as other people. Let me also add that a lot of this bewilderment has often led me to seek regulation with alcohol, and lately as I have been growing out of that, this self-awareness is so important to me as a way to feel comfortable with myself in my own skin without having to turn back to substance abuse. Thank you so much for the work you do. There are so many people in the mental health field who are either not very talented or don't try hard to be true professionals. Of course this is true of every profession, including my own. The world needs people like you, in every field, who are genuine and who are making the most of the gifts we have, and not just being lazy or greedy. The last couple months have been very hard for me. Thank you for giving me the motivation to reach towards giving my best again.
