Both my brother and mom are ESTJ. They push me SO BADLY, I'm not even close to my family, honestly.

I'm not sure what my dad is. I know he is an E for sure, and I'm pretty sure a S, but I could be wrong because he is always asking "Why?", but I know his mine is in a "here & now" type of deal, so I'm going to go with S. I know hes a feeler, my dad is not a thinker at all, he TRIES to think, but he gets too anger, too fast and doesnt rationalize anything. Im somewhat split on J or P. He always say "You need to plan things out, Kaylene." but then he doesn't do it himself. He gets made if we dont plan it out, but he never does. I might as well go with P.

My dad is an ESFP, Im guessing, and I probably get along with him way better than anyone else my family, even though Im not close to anyone in my family. My dad is way more understanding and can see where I coming from. (Im guessing thats the feeling side of it.)

Haha, I know the personality types of all my family members. ^^ My mother is an ESFJ, my sister an ESTJ, my dad an ISTJ, and my brother an INTP.

Now, I get along with my brother very, very well. We work pretty well together. He's completely oblivious to how others' feel and doesn't read peoples' body language well, but he's such a passionate, enthusiastic guy. Get him talking about something he likes and be prepared for an in-depth explanation about WHY the thing he's into is the most amazing thing in the universe. The only thing that can get on my nerves is how he can be very arrogant at times. There's no debating with him - he is always right, no matter what. And he's very critical of anything and everything - even the things he likes. He has all sorts of ideas to improve upon things. All. The. Time. He's very easy for me to read - he's like an open book. Though I can't say I can read him all the time. He's just transparent most of the time. He's very much like a puppy, actually.

Now, I probably have more conflicts with my mom, sister, and dad than my brother. You can imagine that being in a house full of J's and being an ENFP can be pretty difficult. Sometimes I wish they could see just how often I try and self-reflect, how I honestly try to fix mistakes I've made and how I generally do know, before them MOST of the time (not all the time), when I've been lying to myself or something like that. When I say I honestly care about something when it comes to school or grades, they get skeptical - I do, and I don't make awful grades. I've had mess ups, but I always fix them and come through in the end. But they always demand to see improvement, and they demand me to schedule my life. Oh yes, being an ENFP in a family of J's is very tough. But then I tell myself to be thankful, because now I am able to work hard at the things I don't like.

I'm usually best friends with all of my family members. My sister really is my best friend - I share practically everything with her. The only thing that saddens me is how I can't rant about psychology, sociology, or my newest findings about people to her without her beginning to get bored. I can tell my mother, and she'll be willing to listen and will be genuinely interested - but I can't rant for too long.

Oh yes. One thing that definitely gets on me is how my sister says she thinks it okay to seriously dislike someone. Sometimes it seems to me that she can be a bit insensitive at times. She'll jokingly make fun of a person, and that will make me feel sad. She judges people too quickly for my liking, and sometimes I feel she reads people wrong. When I try to talk to her about how I felt that person might have been feeling, she'll tell me that I'm being too prideful about my so called "emotional intelligence". Usually my mom will be in the near vicinity and agree with her. And that I AM wrong sometimes. I know I am. Generally, I'll just drop all of these conflicts and say that I might have been wrong. I hate conflict and I am okay with letting people "win". Most of the time, the things that cause me to get flared up aren't hills to die on.

Might I add that my mother, unlike some ESFJ's, doesn't use guilt manipulation. She comes from a pretty unfortunate family background, and her mother used to use guilt manipulation on her as a child. Therefore, my mom says that she never wanted to do that to her children because she knew it was hurtful. My mom is wonderful and I didn't mean to say that she wasn't. She can definitely be pushy and demanding at times, but she is also very much "on my side" and only wants the best for me. So does my dad, too. We just don't see eye to eye all the time.

I forgot to mention something about my dad. My dad, true to his personality type, takes on a lot of work. He's very dependable when it comes to work. He's very loving. The problem is, he works so much he is often too tired to go and do fun things when he's done with work. We live in the country, and everything is usually a good 30 minutes to 45 minutes away. It may be only 15-20 minutes to the grocery store and some other shopping centers. Since my dad already does a lot of driving, that means he does not drive us anywhere - unless he absolutely has to. Plus he's introverted. VERY introverted. Sunday is the one day of the week I really look forward to. I get to see my strongest, best friends. The problem is if my mom happens to be working on Sunday (and sometimes she has to because she's a nurse), we can't stay very long at church. We stay long enough for sunday school (after service) and then we leave. This leaves me about 15-20 minutes to talk with my friends. So we go home. While my dad recharges, I find myself slowly wilting. I don't get socialization anywhere else because I go to an online school. I don't keep contact with my friends online very well. D; So I'm at home very often, and I don't get a ton of time with my friends each week.

So I oftentimes find myself getting lonely. Recently we've been trying to get more involved with church. Just yesterday I got a lot of time with my friends, and that made me completely 100% happy.
