i have been going back and forth between the intj forum and here because i believe my ex gf was an intj (although some suggest infj) but not sure just guessing.
What's interesting is the intj's respond almost within hours of a a post or a reply while on this board it seems like days before other enfp's chime in on topics.
i wonder whether that is an indication of what types go online to date more? if enfp's don't spend much time on the computer i might keep runing into introverts.
I am wondering if i would be better matched with an extrovert but not sure. I would like to matched with someone who can communicate similar to me (or at least i think so now).
just an observation; any comments welcome

i think enfps are just scatterbrained enough that we don't always remember to get online to check things, or we can just get way too busy to have time too, also attention spans... I go through a couple weeks now and again where I'm on the forum alllll the time and then a month or two will pass without me even checking it. |

I don't know, I'm ENFP and greatly so, and I've found a lot of my relationships online. One guy was in a poetry IRC chatroom (a long time ago, those were the days...), one I found through a craigslist post I made searching for an emo boy for cuddles (so maybe find the odd and whimsical posts ridden with impulse), and the current one (an INTJ) I found on OKcupid. Find the post/profile by someone who is surprisingly good at giving an idea of who they are, even online. ENFPs have good sense of themselves and will speak (ramble?) from the heart. |

You are online. You are an ENFP. Therefore, ENFPs can be found online.  |

PG,
see that's what i like about intj's - right to the point. lol yes, i am but i am also in a fascination stage and i was just comparing the groups in general. As an enfp i'm starting to lose a little interest in checking all the time but i was happily distracting myself by doing so much online chatting lately.

Sometimes I'll read and just won't post, either because someone else has said essentially what I was going to....or because I can't think of anything suitably clever, witty, or memorable. It's one of those quirky moods where you focus on something you either really like or absolutely can't stand about yourself. For example, some days I love my eyes....I'll stare in the mirror for 10 minutes, fluttering my lashes and practicing flirtatious looks. Then the next day I'll decide that my nose is ENORMOUS, and it's a wonder anyone can *see* my eyes around it. Those days I'll make weird faces in the mirror for 5 minutes, then go about my day hoping I don't cause an accident with my hideously oversized facial features. XD |

very true, enfps can have a quiet presence if they dont feel that they have a valuable contribution to make. There are a lot of topics on here that I'm very interested in but have never commented on simply because I don't have anyhting new or valuable to say |

That's funny you should say that. I was often criticized at work for not speaking up more. I felt there wasn't much to add, so I didn't. I find this runs counter to the culture of some companies, where it's important that you say something periodically. I find I don't care so much for meetings with no defined agenda as the conversations seem to ramble without purpose. Is that an ENFP thing? I thought maybe I was just being submissive. |

Definitely! I feel exactly the same way very often. People will think I am "quiet", but it is only because I don't feel like I have a valuable contribution to make. Or, maybe I feel like I (and others) will learn more by listening. Or, I don't feel like I have an audience receptive enough to make the effort of speaking up worth it. |

This reminds me very much of something I grew up having to deal with at family gatherings, a phenomenon called "the minnesota goodbye." This phenomenon describes the hour it takes to get from talking in the living room or over dinner with family or friends to putting on your shoes to getting in the car, to talking through the open car window, to finally, finally driving away and waving goodbye. This is something that has infuriated me many times, because when I'm going to do something, I want to do it, not put it off and put it off with conversation that is, often times, meaningless and pointless. My habit of doing what I say I'm going to do immediately upon saying it seems to be considered rude though. |

Yes aevi, exactly!
I am known as the "stand up, go home" man (made this up in english^^). My friends say they don't know anyone who just says: "Ok, i think i am going home." and then goes within 5 minutes. I oftentimes am frustrated when people aren't fast enough, too... |

YESSSS!!!!! I have the same issue! I'll be on the phone with a friend that will say, "Well, I should go now.", but then they sound surprised when I answer, "Ok, goodbye!" Oh, this reminds me of another conversation problem I have. Hang on. |

Such posts as Nadette's are totally acceptable here. Such is the fun of ENFPland. Oh, and yeah, I just needed a change. Scowling lizard might come back when you least expect him. |
