I’m a SP/SX 4 , and professionally typed as ENFP...I really feel like a weird hybrid of ENFP and INFP. I relate so much with the INFP because he’s also a 4, but also relate to pretty much everything about ENFP except I’m not that social. Complicated!
Joyce is glowing in this lighting! Fun how Alexa puts a spin on the quotidian. Intuitives are stuck making magic out of the mundane until they find platform 9 & 3/4 or the wardrobe to Narnia.
Finding another NF is always a joy. I am an INFP and my best friends have been INFJ (primary school). ENFP (high school) and ENFJ (now😀). I enjoyed this interview a lot. My sister is an ENFP and we really get each other well when we aren't driving each other crazy that is.
OMG I LOVE THIS!! 3 of my 4 favorite types in the same video, and both Cristian and Alexa are wonderful. God damn it though, gotta admit. That ENFP energy and also being pretty is... my type of cookie!
I so relate to Alexa about favorites! I have a hard time choosing my favorites,they change all the time! Talk about eye opening! So much evidence is piling up about my being ENFP. Awesome ♥
I don't think I'd recommend people of the same type be romantically involved with each other. I get why people are initially attracted to their own type because they are the easiest to understand and relate to (especially the rarer types who feel less understood by others), but I think that's confusing a superficial crush or infatuation with true, substantial compatability. It might also be what leads to bad matchmaking. They seem like they would be good together because they seem so alike, and they probably would get along, but to develop that special, lasting connection, they need someone with compatible functions; not identical ones (Fi + Fe for emotional compatibility, Ti + Te for intellectual compatibility, etc.)
I identify unofficially with ENFP and appreciate this format- the authentic ideas expressed side by side. I feel valued and understood even though I am not present in the group. Thank you. Joyce, you are brilliant in organizing the groups. Thank you all for the true participation.
I was doubting if I am Infp lol silly me. After 30 mins in the video that I am sure I am Enfp 🤣 Related to a lot of what Alexa and Cristian said in the video! Love the NF talk ❤️🔥 NF gang~~~ I don't know I feel like I get into Fi-Si really often and my Si is not that bad (if I say so myself lol) Or maybe I just don't notice when I get into Ne-Te because it's so natural? And sometimes I wish my Te is stronger... I feel like Te is weaker than Si? Maybe enneagram 9 (love routine) and/or 4 (love introspection) play a part? But Ne definitely is my savior which always brings tons of happiness and weird jokes into my life ✨ I think I switch from time to time. Maybe just insanities in me haha (hope saying this is not offensive) 😬 Kinda guilty with strong Te when feeling something doesn't make sense lol > (I say it out loud. Most of the time. But I say it nicely, gently, and jokingly 😉. at least that's what I think lol. I hope so... I do feel bad afterward though... come off too strong. But I just cannot hold back lol) > Only notice some Si when triggered > (It always somehow links with Fi... without connection with Fi, I won't care lol and won't be in my si at all?) I go to fi-si like Joyce said when all the Ne possibilities are not working, not by default fi-si. It's really sad and frustrating to see hopes being crushed by reality and it's not the fact that I fail or make mistakes that upsets me, but the fact that I cannot do anything about it upsets me. > When talking with others tend to focus on others (sometimes focus on things) > Act > reflect (experimenting) Not selective with friends but only a really few close to heart > Not seeing things as definitely good and bad (seeing the good in bad and seeing the bad in good too) > Seeing how rambling I am all the time ->>>>>>> Conclusion: 99.999999% Enfp lol with 0.0000001% deviation for other components like me being sexy and mysterious Scorpio lol incorrigible. 🤭
One thing I feel I should add about NFs (or at least me as INFP) just wanting people to be their real, authentic selves. We're not always going to be that accepting. We like to think we are, but there are some times when something about a person just doesn't jive with us. We aren't going to automatically like someone just because they are real with us. Every INFP comes with its own set of Fi (or maybe Si) triggers. There have been a few cases where I felt guilty about not liking someone who was just being themselves. Sometimes someone's personality just rubs us the wrong way.
I think part of authenticity is that everybody don't need to like everybody. I always respect people who are authentic but I don't always like them. (But of course you should never be mean etc.) And even if I don't like them I don't want to change them.
Christian: "INFPs attach their Fi to EVERYTHING." That's why I used to think I was an INTP. Whenever I was asked to describe my feelings, I couldn't, because there aren't enough words to accurately describe and distinguish between the multitude of "feelings". Anything I say would only give people the wrong (or at least an inaccurate) impression.
I'm hooked on your videos lol love you so much!! Te has a blunter voice meaning deeper or what? I'm a bit confused about that. I think I get it, maybe it's a blunter weight/feeling to it, but not sure if that comes with being deeper as well.
I could tell Christian was probably a type 4 by 2 minutes in. I'm INTJ 5w4. I feel deeply.. I just don't impulsively act on them. 51:40 The problem I have with that is... I don't want everyone to know me on that level. Being genuine and emotionally vulnerable with people you love and trust is fine and healthy. Being that emotionally vulnerable to the world...is asking to get hurt or manipulated, is way to much work and emotional investment and is at best risky and worst foolish. I have different people in my life that understand different pieces of me, but so far no one person has earned my trust and gotten to know me well enough for me to completely open up. And if I'm being honest, probably the only person I'd ever open up to on that level would be whoever I marry. I get that Fi dom's desire that level of connection, but for many other types it's emotionally irresponsible to be that exposed.
Hello I really like your comment. I'm actually trying to battle with this myself as an infp being too emotionally open. Unhealthy infp here though. I honestly try to not expose my emotions but I sometimes feel like too much of an open book when it comes to feelings and struggle with the whole clash of Fi authenticity which is literally driving me into a hole now. My emotions are extremely visible and I feel really exposed so I tend to hide away from people because I know the damage they can do if let's say I tried to make friends. Definetly stuck battling my Fi. Have trust issues and can't be myself around anyone. Too scared. Feel very exposed emotionally but I can't seem to find a way to please my emotions without being authentic! Emotions are such a struggle and having dominant Fi really sucks sometimes and it's so easy to be unhealthy! But I will think about what you said because being too emotionally exposed or too Feely is something that does beckon for evils to come our way for easy prey. Thanks for this!
@@Pippinlakewood Yea Fi is... wow. It's only 3rd slot for me and it's still a handful. I've learned pretty quick how to watch people. Ones that don't show red flags I put out feelers and get to know a bit. If they show they're worth getting to know I invest more. If they don't I don't. Life is too short to waste on people that are just going to let you down. Or worse.
As an INFP 4w5 I feel very well represented by Cristian
“NF power hour” . . . love it 🥰
~INFP here❤️
Hahahah my listening face is so serious *tries not to get distracted by the birds flying outside* 👀👀
Hahahha! You are awesome, though! Your mind is flying it awaaaay like the birds :)
haha loved talking with you Alexa!! :) you're a sweetie
we have the same birth date.. and you look like Emma Stone!

Very much relate to this! Everything you said is true for me too.

That's great!! What's your fourth favourite type? 🙂

Yay!! Glad it clarified your ENFPness. :) Happy to see you in the comments, Melissa.
Cristian's talk on Huxley and Orwell - Y E S!
What they were "talking about" is so, utterly, insanely relevant TODAY!
INTJ here observing everything from my deep solitude.
I'm an INTP, I think, and Christian both felt a lot like a friend I had and also very relatable for me.
That's great; I'm happy you felt that bond with Cristian! :)
Yay! Alexa's doing another video! Can't wait :)
“INFPs are like children, we have these little FI crushes on people” 🤦🏻♀️
INFP: looks out the window, sees an interesting looking person
: 🧐🤨🤔😍
Great discussion, as usual!
Much appreciated, Thomas! :)
Joyce I want to see a cranky jaded ENFP on your show. Just once maybe, a complete train wreck. Not me though 😛
😄✌✌❤
Also: same😆😁
Enfp 4w5 sp/sx and that’s kinda me lol
Interesting about the Te voice and background!
This was fun to watch Joyce! I hope there’s gonna be a video for NF family :) and golden pair discussions. -INFP
Great idea!! NF family discussion coming up :) golden pairs too.

Wow, confidence in trusting the environment!
Strong Te is ENFP 😅
Fi/Si looping as nostalgia!
ENFP focuses on you
Fi crushes
Alexa looks like Olivia Wild
I swear I'm a perfect blend between ENFP and INFP. Maybe I'm ANFP 😂
Lmao so relatable
@Entfernter Verwandter Depends on your definition of friends. Acquaintances I definitely have more than 5. Real, close friends I would say about 4.
I am, too!

Thanks so much, @I Can Relate. Yes! I didn't mean that it was deeper! I meant that it sounds blunter, more in charge & authoritative. :)
@@JoyceMeng22 Ohhh okay. Thank you for the clarification! I get it now.
My sons are isfp, infp,and enfp and both nfps are really close..
What if your a ambievert? I can be both depending on how well I know you. INFP here
After Ne exhausts possibilities, it will become Fi depressed...
People just want to be accepted for who they are.

@@JoyceMeng22 thanks😆, your mbti videos have helped me alot in identifying my type and understanding other types. i really appreciate your efforts😊
Yeah this just confirmed that I’m an INFP lol
