Question #1248869293Wednesday, 29-Jul-2009
Category: ENFp
For ENFps it says on the site http://wikisocion.org/en/index.php?title=IEE that "He is usually genuinely concerned, but refuses to let the negative energy affect him." Even when "He can be very empathetic and will frequently comfort his friends and acquaintances, mostly letting them vent to him, offering suggestions as to what to do about it. These are usually practical." How do you lucky ENFps manage that? -- butterfly

A1 It's odd, and kind of hard to explain. When listening to a friend's (or anyone's) problems, my focus is solely on them and the issue at hand. And, although very empathetic, I do not let the person's negativity affect me, because although I can feel the negativity greatly, I don't have time to pay attention to it. Instead I work my hardest to help solve the problem, and when I can finally pay attention to the negativity i've channelled, it is when the problem is solved, and therefore irrelevant at that point... WOW. I'm not sure if this will make any sense. It's two in the morning here, and I've had a crazy night. Haha, I hope this has helped atleast a little. :3 -- ENFP
A2 A1 said it pretty well, we ENFP's are pretty well disconnected from the world to some degree.... When people tell me what's wrong, i can't explain it very well but every situation I've ever seen someone else in that relates passes through my head, and I can "see" really nice solutions, that would probably work to help the person I'm talking to. It actually suprises me how much people like my suggestions, and they say, "dang, never thought about it that way..." flip side of that coin though, is the fact that I can't usually think of rational solutions for every day problems, simple tasks and stuff - largely not seen by me - because I'm always processing situations and people on a different level, more a "solutions provider" level. People's problems do begin to weigh me down if no solutions seem to be the right fit when I'm running the idea database. Especially people who choose not to work on the solutions, and wish to remain in their problems.. I almost have no patience or desire to spend time with them any more, as I don't feel they want anything I have to offer them. The reason ENFP's have a hard time making deeper friendships with others is probably the same reason why I can never take a day off... basically, the solutions idea machine is always running, so life is like a "fun job" everyday... gets exhausting, but that's why we like to have new experiences all the time. Hell, if you gotta be at work, you might as well make it fun as possible, and learn something new every day. boring stuff becomes boring X 10000 because processing new ideas and information doesn't stop... so in the same routine, you start to process boring crap over and over and over until your whole life feels so "over processed" you're ready to toss it out for something new. Routine and boring is more depressing that any number of horrible things that could possibly happen.... probably sounds wierd, but hey... -- ENFP
