I'm an ESFJ. Comment is a little late, but we're in the middle of the Coronavirus and I'm getting super depressed. I found this video to confirm that yeah, it's because I can't stand being alone. It's definitely a tough time to live alone, thanks for the video.
I'm an ENFP and I can say that my depression is definitely because of the stagnant life... like ... an ENFP lives by being creative and in my case is being free ... but having to work on a company that strict and doing monotone stuffs or work really drain my life energy ... I felt lost yes .. It's like my life has became so boring ... but that's why the little solution that I found for my weakness is ... to recharge my life energy by doing anything that I love where freedom and creative is not sealed away .. and that's what I have been doing on like weekends or holidays
Same for my brother. But in his case we also found it rather difficult to type him between ISFJ and ISTJ, because he has so many other overlaps with ISTJs.
Im ESFJ and for me, I really enjoy being alone As Long As I know that I have an OPTION to hang out with someone or to call someone(doesn't matter if i use the option or not). BUT if i'm alone and its not possible to meet with anyone (even if I don't really feel like seeing someone) then that really frustrates me. Going to an event or gathering where i'm not included or feel like an outsider is a nightmare. I also have this weird internal fight with going to parties - part of me really-really wants to go, meet new people, talk, laugh etc; and part of me wants to stay home coz im so scared of people not talking to me and being there alone. :D Most of the time everything turns out very positive but the fight never ends. On a more serious note, when i am really down then one of the worst things I could have is a conversation with a person I have nothing in common with or who just does not fit me at all. It is extremely draining and makes everything worse. Since ESFJ's are more of a caretakers and are the providers, they don't really have a lot of people who would take care of them. And they probably burnout or get depressed faster in a relationship rather then being single. Esfj's really want to take care of and give everything they can to their loved one, but if their significant other won't do anything to balance it and give something back, then ESFJ's might get depressed at one point, since they are not valued and feel empty with nothing more to give eventually.
Joko x for an esfj to admit that they don’t mind being alone (as long as they have the option to be included or see someone), and that they can get nervous sometimes when meeting people, is an amazing thing to do. This is one of the most accurate comments on how an esfj feels that I’ve read!!
ISTJ’s drive me nuts 🥜 but I find them so intriguing. I’m They know everything and say nothing and plan 10,000 years ahead of time and expect you to fit into some caricature of what they believe is “good.” Their structure and ability to remain calm can be a life saver though. But over time, I began to feel worthless, helpless, and completely incompetent from their routine, structure, and control. I can’t help but be drawn to them though. #enfp
ENFP: We don't show our depth in groups as much because we know a lot of ppl just won't go there with us so we keep things light and fun in a way to make everyone feel welcomed and included. BUT if someone in the group would bring up a deep/ intellectual topic we will be alllll for it. Btw I love INTPs 😭💕 you guys are a perfect balance because I can't handle others with my energy levels for too long 😂
Hi, I'm an ESFJ! We share a few things in that we really benifit from having close family and friends around and my mood is really zapped when I don't have this. However, as I have got older I have found socialising with people I don't know or care for extremely draining. When I was young I was life and soul of the party where as now you'll find me in the corner catching up with someone who I really care about. I definitely feel depressed at times and this is usually as a result of not feeling like I fit in and not feeling like people value or respect me. I started a new job and have found moving away from people harder than I imagined!
im istj christian (turning 20 this february 25 2020). Iwant purpose on life. I'm sick of staying home doing nothing (laying on bed or playing video games (my favorite hobby but too much drains me out) and now back to high school to finish and go to college and to pursue acting career.
I am an ESFJ. Extreme things kind of kick me out of depression. A 10-minute cold plunge. Bikram yoga (yoga at 105° for an hour and a half). 3 day fasts. It's all torture. I didn't want to do it. But when I force myself to do these things I feel better for a measure of time.
my best friend is some where between enfp and infp. now she is struggling with depression and i guess i'm just here to figure out how i can help her. thanks for the video.
I'm an ENFP and I also see my depression always revolving around lack of purpose and creative/social fulfillment. The first thought to introduce a new episode of depression and the last turning point before I cant work against it anymore is always "Why am I doing this? Nothing has meaning anyway" and of course that's not true, but when I'm not having enough new impulses in my day to day life I can start to think this way.
I would get depressed when I start distancing myself from people Reasons? - not realizing I gave someone a bad experience until back talk arises - wanting to pursue something but fear of the stigmatized label - burn out - being stuck with a subject I hate and gradually seeing my poor participation through grades - lack of exercise
:ISFJ when i don't feel needed i delve into subjects i deeply care about as solace and feel a sense of relief in seeing a piece of it play out in every day life also dancing off my troubles cures me as well
So.... ISTJ’s are basically like the people who need a set and stone plan, or a step by step process that will work. Interesting. Knowing that I can comfortably continue with my plans is a good thing. Lol added info: If for whatever reason any of you want to know what my plans are, here they are! One of my plans is to write a thesis on communication. Which is kind of funny since I suck when it comes to communication. Although I am doing this for both myself and others because while I've been in speech at my school, I noticed that many of the things that my speech therapist talks about things in communication that might not actually need to be said at all, or be taken into account. It's identifying what communication is really about and figuring out how to initiate that task is important. Don't get me wrong though, not everything he has said is wrong or unneeded. I'm just saying there were things that didn't and maybe identifying the things that do and do not need to be addressed can help teach communication in the future, in a potentially better way. The other is a bit bigger, and it's one I've mentioned along time ago on this channels comment section. It's to change the education system to be suit the students. This pretty self explanatory but one that many don't realize is that concept of numbers and mathematics as a whole, has always been ignored. Another problem is that grades never equal intelligence, and yet people take grades as if they are a guide to finding who is gonna be of great value. There is huge problem with the way the system evaluates people and gives unnecessary struggle. The last is even bigger, and less likely to happen. It's to change some laws to give growth to the amount of freedom that we have. This one is gonna take a lot longer to do than the two others combined but as long as there's a need, I can almost be sure that I'll succeed. I can't guarantee though, and it'll take a lot of effort on my part. Coming up with a good argument will be hard, especially since it's so big and involves the government and all that. Not only that, but there are also many people who are not always willing to admit when they're wrong. It'll be quite the adventure for me but it's one that will be worth taken no matter the outcome. There's an awesome video over on the channel 'big think' that talks about a way to reduce the amount of stereotypes in the future. There's also a TED talk that also talks about the reluctance of admitting your own false judgement and a place to search for an answer to how we can make the world a more logical place. Anyway, a good day, you all should have!
Eric The INTP thanks! Also, in case you didn’t recognize or weren’t sure of it. I am TheImpossibleQuestion. I changed the name, and might end up doing it again.
Eric The INTP probably my actual name since I use this account on so many other things. Otherwise it would be something that represents my channel, which was the idea of having the thinker since my channels just asking questions and doing my best to answer them. The questions can be about anything. Plus the name “the thinker” goes quite well with my current profile picture. Since the thinker is one of flash’s villains and was the main villain of season 4 on CW’s Flash.

An Esfj here, checking up on you!! Doing any better?
I'm an ISTJ with bipolar 2 disorder. Yeah, that's right - I am so screwed.
I am an I SFJ And can completely relate to the I STJ’s Need for predictability and structure
Same for my brother. But in his case we also found it rather difficult to type him between ISFJ and ISTJ, because he has so many other overlaps with ISTJs.
I am an ENFP and what you said is spot on
