What MBTI Personality are you?

[eternity]

ideally, social life means more than just going out with people. it incorporates the desire an ability to strike up a random conversation with someone in line at the fast food joint. it's the ability to notice when someone you see is not feeling too happy and talking to them and making them smile. I used to have above average social skills a few years ago, and I would be able to chat with any random person just for the fun of it, but I really did a number on that by isolating myself.

I'm ENFP too and this was similar to my story. Did the above average social skills cause the isolation?

I have taken two different tests since this thread and found that I am either 1%E (twice) or 1%I so I am fairly close to neutral. I have also read up on my type and found it to be incredibly close on topics that never even had questions relating in the quizes. I have not had the time to look at the other ones though to see if I have traits of all. Funnily I am very much my star sign.

Also pretty sure that I was always this type now and just isolating myself and answering from there got me th I**J score years back.

from my understanding I consider ENFP as "ambivert", although I hate that term because it blurs the line between extrovert and introvert. ENFP is known to be extroverted in social settings, but requires time to recharge very similarly to the introvert. so getting sucked into isolation is a very real possibility, especially when "i need some alone time" becomes the standard modus operandum.

In my experience, there's a lot of guilt and shame for the way I was living the past few years, so that has a lot to do with why I isolated myself. Fear of judgment by others crept its way in, and deeming myself as unfit for life in society didn't help either.

I do have reservations about getting intimate with anyone, however. I'm not sure if it's related to being ENFP or not, but I definitely have a fear of getting close to anyone either romantically or friendly. Either because I don't want to be hurt or because I don't want to hurt anyone.

I've been told that people appreciate the fact they can be around me but not have to be interacting with me, and not feel awkward at all. ENFP trait?
