This is me 100%. I miss the discipline to take care of myself, I don't exercise, don't have enough sleep,... so I'm mostly a huge mess and depressed. I also feel very lonely, especially when I'm in a group. My energy drains very fast because in a big group I get bored because the conversations are to superficial for me. But tnx for holding a mirror and giving tips. I need to work on my basic needs, like sleep, eat healthy and exercise. When I'm slipping again I will come back to this video so tnx very much.
I am just learning this about myself, I’m an enfp and highly sensitive and a thrill seeker, I am navigation my way through with trial and error I get super wiped out and learning how to recharge myself one step at a time. Thanks for sharing this was really helpful
ENFP here, and this hits home big time too. I from the moment I was diagnosed HSP my life struggles made so much sense. I now have compassion for myself and all of the years I suffered because of not being able to keep up with busy environments (including jobs, housing situations, social events) and I'm designing a life that is more suitable for me. Great video! I make videos myself too and have very recently uploaded something of ENFPs and HSP.
Yeah, busy environments are everywhere but drain us empty! Thanks 🙏 you have a pretty solid channel going, I subbed! Glad to find some more ENFP content
Let's remember we are gems - fun people who genuinely care. We are the champs of turning frowns upside down. We're great in emergency situations. We have superpowers. We have eased others' suffering. But we also need someone to be sensitive to our emotions. That's where people "fail" us, and we can't understand why they don't give what they get. Big resentment oftentimes, in work and personal relationships. But hey, somebody's got to give a damn in this crazy, Mean Girls world we're currently navigating. Y'all make me feel so heard! Y'all rock, sweet babies. 😘
Hi, if in addition to being a highly sensitive extrovert, you are also on the Autism spectrum, people unfortunately view your sensitivity as even more of a burden. Neurotypicals can be as highly sensitive AND extroverted as they want, but WE are often taught to suppress our emotions. We are taught that we can be non-highly sensitive and introverted, non-highly sensitive and extroverted, or highly sensitive and introverted, but being highly sensitive and extroverted is out of the question for us, even when it shouldn't be.
My discomfort or overstimulation have likely inhibited or restricted my socializing without knowing. I definitely am highly sensitive,and comfort is HUGE for me! I however,am also spontaneous and love talking about deep things but can be shy sometimes. Still identifying as an ENFP too,i have been pulled in both directions at times(repression confused how i liked things), needing excitement but also slowing to take care of myself. Thank you for this video!
Oh and how I navigate social interactions: I have less social life than before, once or twice a week socializing is enough. And I allow myself to take as much off time after the super fun evening or afternoon, even if it's 2 days of not talking on the sofa lol. I think not blaming yourself for it and being compassionate because of your own needs is key. At least for me.
Yeah that’s a good approach. I also struggle with getting easily bored and stuck in my head with negative thoughts during that downtime so it’s always a push and pull with social activities. I guess it’s about concentrating on socializing with your richest connections and knowing where to cut out other kinds of socializing where possible
I just discovered today I am a HSP and I am also an ENFP so this video was a godsend. I love new experiences and want to try new things, but I fear the unknown. For example, when I think about doing something new by myself, I get pretty anxious and I consider chickening out, but having someone else with me provides me with comfort in doing that activity as I know I’m not alone. I feel like previously whenever I’ve told people about my emotions they never understood, but now knowing I am an HSP and finding people I can relate to has helped me the past 2 hours.
ENFP HSP here. The pandemic has been torture for me. Between the overbearing restrictions (I'm in NY, one of the most strict states in the country) and closures of bars and restaurants. I'm just having faith in the universe and being mindful of life decisions
I’m right there with you James! It’s strict up here in Canada too and it’s been one of the most challenging periods of my life in terms of my zest for life and wellbeing
My thing as hsp extrovert is i was not picky at all regarding choosing people to be around with.Everyone were welcome,even ones i i thpught were not compatible.But i became very picky to whom i'being fond of or even asociate(at36), now i'm few years older.
Yeah, I’d imagine as you mature and your interests refine then who you choose to be friends with will also refine. I’m 25 and even now I’m quite picky about who I want to spend time with
@@kevinexperiences Good for you.👍🙂 I wish i was more picky before,i would choose more wisely and have less problems with ppl. Now it is how it is. I'm enjoying my own company most of the time and it's great.
I'm an ENFP HSP Empath (with a very high EQ). Many times I feel guilty for being too much (even for my own self). Thus, I just have two words for you: Thank you :))
@@kevinexperiences In a way, I can relate with that too. In professional contexts, when I work with Public Relations, I suddenly "appear" more as an ESFP and when I am teaching languages, I suddenly "seem" more as an ENFJ.
I'm scheduling a lot of video chats out of desperation to find friends that I need. Each time it doesn't pan out, I get more drained and discouraged. Ppl love me, but I'm still left so disappointed. This leads to poor sleep hygiene and crashing for a whole week. I'm NOT coping.
Video chats just aren’t the same for me, I notice I feel drained afterwards as you described. There’s no substitute to connecting with someone in person through a shared experience
I’ve started to watch a bit more TV as the pandemic rolls on, I really like true crime (I guess that’s somewhat similar to detective stories) and sitcoms
Hi! I’m an ANFP (i’m definitely an ambivert so I can’t say i’m an ENFP). Also, i’m a highly sensitive person who is high sensation speaking. How was college for you as an hsp who also seeks fun and new experiences?
In college I pushed myself to join a fraternity, became part of a social connection initiative on campus, and really dove into social opportunities but at the same time, I was pretty overwhelmed by my course workload, the number of students in each classroom, etc. It’s definitely challenging to balance both but it can be done
As an HSP extrovert or an ENFP, have you been able to balance your extraversion with proper self-care? Let me know below!

No problem! And I can certainly relate

I am also those who don't watch tv that much. Only sci-fi and detective stories and youtube ( maybe too much )
I’ve started to watch a bit more TV as the pandemic rolls on, I really like true crime (I guess that’s somewhat similar to detective stories) and sitcoms
Always go off of how I feel.
"introverted extraverts" jungian extraversion isn't social extraversion, you can be a jungian introvert but a social extrovert
I agree with you. I actually touch on that in this video: th-cam.com/video/1I8y8ysnY9o/w-d-xo.html
How can an intj handle that in an enfp boyfriend?
