ENFP's get depressed? I never knew. -YOUR SARCASM METER NOW NEEDS REPLACEMENT-

Do the opposite of what I do when I get into that despairing lonely pit. Don't go on a forum rampage while you're locked away in your bedroom at two in the morning, while reading anti-feminist literature. It makes everything 1000 times worse.

I was absolutely the social organizer growing up.

I was never a social organizer, but once something is organized, I love to implement it. Give me a set event to organize and I'll go crazy making it a success; thank you Grandma for instilling a sense of proper hosting in me.

 

This is genius:  Come up with the idea and then delegate the implementation to an INTJ!  I'm not really good at organizing much of anything more complicated than calling up a few friends and inviting them to come over to watch sci-fi movies "and pick up a pizza on the way, will you?"  God, I miss my INTJ minion!

Like, I remember when I was really young (3 or 4 probably) I used to have imaginary friends (I had imaginary friends well into elementary school)

I had imaginary friends into my 20s.  I had moved to a new city, working in a new job, no roommate and no friends nearby.  I would go on walks in the neighborhood having imaginary conversations with one or more of my old friends or someone I thought might be interesting to know.  (Do you think it's wrong?)  This was before the days of facebook, IM, and cell phones.  It's much easier to be an ENFP when you can have instant contact with lots of people.  If I'm having an attack of insomnia at 3:00 in the morning here in California, I can go on line and chat with a friend in England or one of my cousins in Denmark. 

Hi i am in/coming out of one of these funks now i saw a few people mentioning it being worse in the winter, i find that as well.I am probably most definitly affected by sad. i find taking vitamin d helps me alot, i'm not back up to 100% but alot closer my husband will actually ask me if he thinks i am being grumpy if i have remembered to take it lately. (as i often will forget after taking it for a while and feeling more normal)

on another note i completely agree with you fleetwell i comstanly organized people but i did it in an very unbossy way as i would hate to control people also i was a natural leader. But in highschool It Changed i had serveral groups of friends to bounce around to i did not like the responsibility of having others follow me and being tied down i just wanted to be where the action was.

anyways looking forward to other responses, i feel somedays lately like i have pulled myself out of the loneliness but then i find my self back at square one my husband is an INTP so he doesn't really understand how to help me out of this funk he is content to let me withdraw.
