I'm an ENFP and react the exact same way to stress, I totally understand what Angela is saying! I've actually described my stress meltdowns with almost the exact same wording!
Let the INFP talk for god's sake! I felt so bad for him because every time he would try to chime in they just kept talking over him:( Anyway, when people say I'm crazy or I overreact I usually think that they're boring, dry as the wall, and have no personality. I always hide it with a smile though :)
Wow this is great for studying. ENFP here. What she said about being depressed and tired really, really hit home for me. I've been like this for the last 10 years. It's pretty awful. I see why I am attracted to and annoyed of the NFJ types though. Both Josh and Nick are very goal oriented and action taking. This can be really thrilling or overwhelming for someone like myself. I really loved how when Tyler spoke I really wanted to listen to what he had to say because people who say few words usually have really insightful and thought provoking things to say.
Wow! I'm an ENFP. Do you guys know me or what ?! Very enlightening. Thanks for doing this Dr. Mike et al. As an ole theatre gal I know it's not easy putting these things together on a regular basis, I appreciate your efforts. It's a great help.
Could relate with Mike so much, especially when he talked about the difficulty of life transitions. I remember going from primary school to high school, it terrified me, took me a good two years to finally settle.
17:50 wow that's exactly how I felt in high school: are people really that lazy to not understand what I'm feeling? 29:20 definitely relate to that - my depression symptoms are always physical. I start to get pimples, I have no energy, I get headaches, I get a cold, my eyes hurt. And it's really weird because I'm usually not aware of any of those things so when it happens it's really.... ahh I can't think of the word. I guess it forces me to pay attention to my body - my body becomes prominent in my life when usually it's in the background. To combat it all I usually dye my hair or buy new clothes or go out into the world and then it's kind of like a mind reset and I'm all good again. Really enjoyed this discussion - could relate to almost everything they said.
yes!! that was absolutely spot on for me too. even if the journey through each year was relatively similar the chosen path was always different which was frustrating.
Both are good, but I recommend checking out the NFGeeks forum on Facebook. That's where the action is. You also can post and comment much longer things than here. However, this is of course the best place for direct comments about the video.
I so relate to the INFP almost not being able to get a single word in, and when he finally does he is so soft spoken I can hardly hear him, this is my default mode also, unless it's a situation I am SUPER comfortable with. PS! I find it kind of ironic when the word "like" is spoken so much during the conversation about being eloquent... :P
I often have iNFp meltdowns about my job and my life choices and my iStP doesn't understand. I really identify with the meltdown about the meltdown because sometimes I freak out about being misunderstood and not supported and it makes it nuclear. One thing that makes me NF meltdown hardcore, like lay in bed, under my covers, and cry until I can cry no more is this video narrated by Carl Sagan called Pale Blue Dot. If you somehow haven't seen it with your love of astronomy and ethics you should really give it a watch Mike. Carl Sagan - You Are Here (Pale Blue Dot) [Sagan Time]
You can also see some of the temperaments, the EJ quite foward upright posure and twitchiness, the EP's chaotic gesticulating maneuvering, the IJ being uptight and contained and the IP being relaxed go with the flow. Also I see some attraction between the IP and the EP...Too bad you didn't have one female J type too.
It just really bothers me how the guy to the far right doesn't get a word in... Why doesn't he speak up? Why don't the others realise that he doesn't and let him/make him participate?
interesting to see the introverts and extroverts grouped together. extroverts on the left are buzzing lol introverts on the right are just chilling even when they're contribution. the infj is really nice, you can see he's trying to pull the infp more into the group. im sure the infp has lots of thoughts on the topics, I bet an Ne storm is going on in his head, he's probably just keeping cool out of respect or maybe because his thoughts aren't collected sufficiently to clearly vocalise them.
And the weird thing is the enfps could do the exact same dumb thing the INFP did, but the enfp seems much more oblivious in a way, where as the INFP it always seems like they are deliberately trying to ruin their own lives. I don't know, maybe i'm insane.
Hey I seem to remember that there was a direct predecesor to MBTI, with 16 types but I can't find anything about it online. Does anyone know what this would be?
This was a pretty good discussion but it was SO ANNOYING, having to watch the other types go on and on without even giving the INFP a chance to speak up. I'm sure that he had something insightful to say, but the sheer lack of attention of the other types made sure that he wouldn't open up and he probably sat there feeling like his opinions and experiences don't matter and therefore, his overall existence doesn't matter because, as we all know, INFPs commonly feel like they have no place in this world, they have no use and that their existence doesn't serve any purpose.... And the sad thing is, while the other NFs are bellyaching about how they are misunderstood, they don't even give a crap about the fact that they're doing the same thing to the INFP. (That, ladies and gentlemen, is what an NF meltdown looks like)
I'm not sure what my type is, but INFP drive me up the wall. They are so 'loose' and yes, that does sometimes mean what you think it means. But in general they are hard to get through to. I know several who do stupid shit that could potentially ruin their lives, and they are like ''yeah'' calmly after you tell them about it. I preach a lot though.
Was DM someone claiming to be ENFP. Some stuff struck me as NT though. So was saying how I relate, and kept condescendingly disagreeing, and saying it was just one facet of her specific Enneagram type. Sent this video too. Then was critical of that saying other types have meltdowns. Was trying to be polite. Then I had a meltdown. Was all like “you’re hopelessly literal” and “you have shit social skills for being an NF”. She bas basically like “Only 7 disintegrating to 1 experience it”. Yet my 1 fix was on. Have made bad mistakes in nutrition. Will try hard to turn this around. Though honestly it’s looking rough. Basically when I’m not on the verge of a meltdown am in one. Am hoping the negative impact nutrition can have on emotions will get out there. IDK how this is happening. I should’ve known better.
Not long ago a dinner with some NT friends made me realize just how much I tend toward over-exaggeration. I assume that people will understand that I'm doing it for effect and that I'm not trying to be precise, but it kept coming up with these NT's, they made me feel a bit silly for doing it.
I'm an ENFP and that intro was way too long. Fortunately I started typing this comment. Otherwise I would've been bored and moved on. (This is a joke. Sort of.)
It's really hard being an INFP
Wemble Ton he's hott
i relate so completely to the INFP here lol. i wanna give him a hug
Infp's are awesome they have so much to contribute and are beautiful unique people.
As an INFP, I feel robbed. And of course he gets talked over when he finally gets the nerve to speak up!
He probably had something really deep and meaningful to say.

watched this just to see the INFP interaction...not disappointing, he does react.

I KNEW right away the guy on the right is an INFP. He has a distinct look :D and he's also the most soft-spoken

Yes. That is on the docket.
This scared me
-INTJ

Can you do an episode with Tyler, I think it'd be great to give him a chance to talk one on one.
I agree with you especially about the infp. My infp husband watched this with me and totally related to this infp and felt for him.
Totally relate!
I completely get this.
-ENFJ
i wish NFs were over populated. the world would be a really nice place to live in :)

Well sometimes INFP's have a hard time with humor...but you know this.
You can also see some of the temperaments, the EJ quite foward upright posure and twitchiness, the EP's chaotic gesticulating maneuvering, the IJ being uptight and contained and the IP being relaxed go with the flow. Also I see some attraction between the IP and the EP...Too bad you didn't have one female J type too.
It just really bothers me how the guy to the far right doesn't get a word in... Why doesn't he speak up? Why don't the others realise that he doesn't and let him/make him participate?

I can't find the website anymore that's the problem.
Hi Mike, I posted something on your facebook page... but this may be a better forum? Where is better to post ideas, etc.? Thanks!
And the weird thing is the enfps could do the exact same dumb thing the INFP did, but the enfp seems much more oblivious in a way, where as the INFP it always seems like they are deliberately trying to ruin their own lives. I don't know, maybe i'm insane.
Hey I seem to remember that there was a direct predecesor to MBTI, with 16 types but I can't find anything about it online. Does anyone know what this would be?
Where did you read this?
Carl Jung? He started this and is the foundation of the 16 types.
This was a pretty good discussion but it was SO ANNOYING, having to watch the other types go on and on without even giving the INFP a chance to speak up. I'm sure that he had something insightful to say, but the sheer lack of attention of the other types made sure that he wouldn't open up and he probably sat there feeling like his opinions and experiences don't matter and therefore, his overall existence doesn't matter because, as we all know, INFPs commonly feel like they have no place in this world, they have no use and that their existence doesn't serve any purpose.... And the sad thing is, while the other NFs are bellyaching about how they are misunderstood, they don't even give a crap about the fact that they're doing the same thing to the INFP. (That, ladies and gentlemen, is what an NF meltdown looks like)
Karl Jung's "Psychological Types" (written 1928) had EIGHT personality types. The MBTI has expanded it to 16 types. As far as I know...
There should be 5 categories in mbti: sj, sp, nt, nf, and infp :-)
I'm not sure what my type is, but INFP drive me up the wall. They are so 'loose' and yes, that does sometimes mean what you think it means. But in general they are hard to get through to. I know several who do stupid shit that could potentially ruin their lives, and they are like ''yeah'' calmly after you tell them about it. I preach a lot though.

I don't know...have you ever seen an NF meltdown?

Actually it was more like I was trying to be silly, but they took it in serious way and that made it awkward.
Are you possibly, by any chance, maybe talking about socionics? :D..
I'm an ENFP and that intro was way too long. Fortunately I started typing this comment. Otherwise I would've been bored and moved on. (This is a joke. Sort of.)
Totttaaallly feel ya on that one, Jasper! Currently writing this as the intro goes onnn and onnn! lol [I'm ENFP too. High fives!] :D
High Fives!
Blue shirt is sexy. ISTJ girl
lol, been there
Lolll :)
