As an ENFP/INFP, I naturally have a strong imagination and if I navel gaze for too long that imagination wreaks all kinds of havoc and causes anxiety. It’s good to hear my intuition validated, that I have to just do. The thing you said about the hunt, totally makes sense.
Hiii fellow ENFP friend!!! Thank you for your openness and insight. I’ve been trying to figure my life out and all the what’s my purpose, what’s my WHY and related Introspective type questions for a few months… you hit the nail on the head as I completely resonate with all the thinking day after day just doesn’t feel good. It’s in the action that fulfillment and satisfaction live. Thank you again for your time and vulnerability. Love how you ended the video by not committing to a schedule of videos to post. Really healthy and wise enfp right there 🎉❤
Hey Dan, I remember you send me an audio message once after I emailed you three years ago, I’m still thankful for that, it really shows your Level of dedication! The funny thing is, I did exactly what you described yesterday, went into introspection, and as you described it was not very helpful. I had this weird dream that I was entrusting someone to sell some collectibles I worked hard for an used all my pocket money for as a teenager, stuff that meant a lot to me. In the end he didn’t not only didn’t sell anything, I got my stuff damaged and half of the stuff missing, and I felt sad and betrayed, but also stupid because I myself betrayed what was valuable to by giving it to someone else just to make money, and I was worse off in the end. I guess there are many was to interpret dreams, but this one in particular was so very reflective of my current employment situation that it’s almost funny 😂 Anyway I though about your message some years ago and just looked up your most recent video (the algorithm didn’t send me anything in months) and then your video was extremely relevant for me 😂 Thanks for inspiring the inspirators!
@@enfp I wonder who could doubt that you are a human beeing, but extrapolated into the future it could be that AI actually makes us more human, and that sharing, kindness and inspiration become the traits that keeps a creator relevant in a sea of ai generated content :-)
Oh shoot. Nailed it. I'm so stuck in this loop. I've spent the last few months going round in circles with exactly this, trying to work out exactly what I want to do! Thanks for the encouragement to just get doing and halt the introspection party!
But I also don't get why this is when extraverted intuition being our top function means I'm constantly stuck going over the possibilities... and thought that giving myself time to consider them all would help! Maybe it's because I'm trying this in an introverted way?
Wow, this is so so true. I just got back from a semester abroad in Singapore and I was meeting so many new people and exploring and it was so fun! Then I came back to US to finish last semester of uni and have been quite introspective and feeling the pressure of transition and job searching. I’ve noticed my mood and everything changing. Journaling while I was abroad was fun and exciting because I was making a new memory almost every day. But now, I feel myself dreading journaling because I feel I’m just drowning in my own mind. Thanks so much for sharing this video!
Wow this video is perfect timing!!! Spent this week to myself trying to figure out my life and get things done and I've been in a massive black hole. Kept wondering what was wrong with me as I crave time alone.
I think this is one of your finest and most honest videos... You came to us without masks and said "I'm not happy, I feeled f***ed up, or whatever" and then you asume your responsability and do what you need to do... I am an ENFP but also a máster procratinator, so this video got me right in the spot... thanks for helping me to do and insight without spending hours and days and feeling miserable. Gotta put myself in motion again
Hi Dan, I am in an expat Aussie surfer who has been living in Freiburg Germany since 2002. Mate- you have inspired me many times ie: I love your humour and your courage, be well Peace ,Craig.
It's so true! Definitely.. I wish it wasn't but yeah, more you think about the reason of unhappiness, more you become unhappy. Thank you for reminding and this interesting research result.. I really remember some moments and days of mine made by strangers but I didn't realize until now.. Thank you man 🌻
For those of us who are not of European descent, many of us are forced into introspection due to the lies that continue to be spewed by the Euro-Mercentile class. Thats why I’ve decided to do is to go to Atlantic African directly and interact with healers who deal with African spirituality instead of it being an abstract ass concept. Main point I wanted to make is that many of us in the world, especially the African one, have been robbed off that right to “not think”
I have a gap in my mind when it comes to spelling and pronunciation (makes learning new languages extra fun). So there is definitely a chance I did hear about it and didn't "save it"
This was good! The part about interactions with strangers really resonated with me. Those encounters often leave me on a high! I just just signed up for a painting class at a local college. Online learning just doesn't do it for me. Thank you!
Hey Dan! Awesome to see you back. I think you're talking about Solipsism... Totally agree with you. Here another B.Russell fan! You know, I'm into philosophy, BUT I always stress that these reflections need to lead to ACTION. You wouldn't believe how many people try to talk me out of things almost every day... But I know what works best for me and try not to pay too much attention. We're not islands, nor mushrooms. We're social beings, no matter how +-introverted we might be
Love your new approach too. If I restart my channel, I'll forget about algorithms too. Otherwise, it's hell. And everything starts to weigh like a slab...
I'm so confused as an ENFP right now. My Christianity on top of trying to figure out my life is confusing me. I don't know, given my current circumstances, how I can not introspect.
It's important to be introspective once a while, but as you say, don't make it long. In my case I was so introspective in my youth that I don't need to be so now, except when it's necessary, but even then, I try to be introspective... with a friend right beside me. I know sometimes my mind won't go far alone, in those cases is when I need to be around people the most. That thing about nothing being real... I don't know why some people just don't accept that our senses are just limited, not completely blind/deaf! We can't perceive everything, things can exist without us knowing about them at all, but that's OK, let's just stay with what we can perceive and act based on that. If you are questioning EVERYTHING, as you say, nothing is done (and not necessarily something related to productivity, it could be just even fun and chill things), and more importantly, you won't be happy. Good to see you here again, Dan, keep the entertaining content as always in one way or another :3
I think a lot of us were that way in our "youth". I absolutely think it is great to check in from time to time and to foster self awareness and personal growth, but not 24/7, and usually not by sitting alone :)
I am so glad you are saying this. I think… it might be an extremely, important thing to notice. I having been doing this so much. So when you expressed this in this way, I was like, oh! Well of course! This makes perfect sense! Sorry you had to go through it…. But super grateful that you’re sharing your discovery! ❤️❤️❤️
Sincere Hat, Potent Umbrella (it alliterates in Spanish and sound epic in Japanese). Just wear the hat you're confortable with and that show with no shame who you are, and accept other people's hats too; and even a damaged umbrella has the potential to do incredible things if you're willing to believe in it and work with it and accept to break some conventions.

Hey Amy, your comment inspired another video I've now filmed that will be published...eventually. Keep an eye out for it and your answer :)
The moment you said it - immediately resonated ❤

You're very welcome! Singapore must have been a blast!
Yes. Looking inside does make me really unhappy. - enfp 😢
What is wonderful is that sometimes by focusing on the outside and making changes, we also change what we see when we look inside :)
Wow this video is perfect timing!!! Spent this week to myself trying to figure out my life and get things done and I've been in a massive black hole. Kept wondering what was wrong with me as I crave time alone.
That'll do it! Get your ass outside and surrounded by people :)

Gotta put myself in motion again
I think that is the title of one of the first chapters in my book, "The ENFP Needs Motion!"
Agreed.👍🏻
The algorithm god 😂😂… thank you for keeping your posts genuine and authentic… love your videos (fellow ENFP)
Thank you for the kind words, and your support! The love I've received as I've started posted again is definitely encouraging :)
Glad to see you again Dan! Love your vids
Thank you! :)
I really needed to hear this, thank you Dan
You're really welcome!
Hi Dan, I am in an expat Aussie surfer who has been living in Freiburg Germany since 2002.

Right on Dan! Keep doing what makes you happy and also gives you energy. Keep creating! Looking forward for more epic adventures.
Thank you thank you! Appreciate the encouragement.
Even if I follow the philosophy "Nothing is real outside of my head", I can still engage in the outside world, no? Love your videos 😊
Nailed it, I get stuck in my head, I can't even move when it happens.

I'm so surprised that you're reading Bertrand Russell but haven't heard of sophists before, haha

Makes sense, all praise the algorithm!
I think it sensed I was mounting a rebellion and gave me a little love on this video.

Totally resonate, also taking inspiration from your approach to creating videos
Thank you for sharing your thought. Take care.
hey Dan, I am new, but I already love your channel!! your way of explaining is just brilliant, thx
Aww thank you! And welcome :)
Great video and helpful because we all can get in our own way.
Absolutely!

This is facts . I totally agree with this
Thanks :)

Ive been better through introspective
Wow
