I have a shy streak and can be shy around some people, sometimes, but not most of the time. I do have to be comfortable with people before they see my downright crazy side though! |

It depends how I'm feeling that day. I am a low extrovert, so I need a lot of time to recharge. I remember once, after spending a lot of time with friends that I was not very close too, I felt like I WAS GOING TO DIE if i didn't get some time to myself, not to be over dramatic or anything  . I usually prefer smaller groups of one or two, but have been known to work a larger crowd from time to time. I am a bit "shy"-- though I honestly don't think it accurately describes how I am, contemplative would be a better fit-- when I am out of my element in a new group of people. I like to sit back and study the people-- their dynamics, relationships, personalities and connections to see what I can deduce about them and their character. When I find my element or am done enjoying my people studying, I will engage with them. When I want to/ need to be though, I can be very social and outgoing. However, when I am with my core group of friends, I could spend almost all my time with them and not feel drained. |

Ne - connections and possibilities....also that bubbling, overflowing energy that trips over itself to tell an interesting story or idea.
Fi - intrinsic values and harmony....also the part that gets overstimulated by Ne and turns into a cranky toddler who desperately needs a nap.
>.> Sometimes I think new people are like new ideas and possibilities....but too much is overwhelming. |

I hide it well so I dont appear shy, but I'm. But not too much.
I think it's better described in my case as being very emotionally guarded around some people, because I am afraid to open up and then be burned.... |

Interesting. I'm the opposite, not shy at all at business functions, even though I know everyone thinks I'm the youngest.
I'm shy when it seems like everyone already seems to know each other/are friends. |

I'm shy when it seems like everyone already seems to know each other/are friends. Yea I used to be like that, but I'm sitting at the table with CEOs of public companies and Investment bankers that are fucking brilliant and have 20 yr+ exp on me. They see right through me. ENFJs, INTJs, ENTJs ENTPs that have run half a billion dollar companies can make you look foolish real fast. I've had my head taken off way to many times. Now, I be quiet and listen. |

INTERESTING.
You are SO LUCKY to be around so many N's!
I'm in a heavily-male dominated industry as well, but I'm thinking the reaction is different since I'm female. The 'boys club' - they need to initiate you. When they look at me they might just think 'coffee'  |

When did you realize your dream of financial broadcasting? And how do you get all this done?? |

Well I'm painfully shy...well actually I'm more bashful than shy. Even my socks can make me blush. Actually just typing this has made me blush.
I actually look up to the ENFPs in my life and wish that I could be more like them. My ENFP sister especially seemed to be at such ease in social situations, well compared to me anyways. But I read a post from an ENFP I know on another forum and she couldn't understand why everyone thought ENFPs were mindlessly happy and that they actually feel like sociable loners. This made me stop idealizing them so much and thinking that they had things I didn't. I observed my sister more closely and I realised that she could be very shy sometimes and the whole mindlessly happy thing she had going on was a way to cover up that shyness. I'm not pretending I get you guys so if all of that was innaccurate I apologise *blushes harder* |

That was very sweet Holly -hug- And so true. Part of it is this need to *be* happy. A positive outlook is really all you have....you take care of what you can control, and if you can't, why stress over it? Not that it completely stops us from stressing over things we can't control; we're still human. I try to understand INFJs, but sometimes I think we're like reflections of each other - at first glance, we look alot alike, but a closer look shows that the images are completely flipped. ENFPs are social animals that still need time alone - INFJs are private beings who still need social contact. Shy is all a matter of context and personal description. |

I totally agree alysaria. And before I forget to mention this altogether, I think your posts are very insightful and beautifully written. But I am sure you ahve been told that before  I think we're like reflections of each other - at first glance, we look alot alike, but a closer look shows that the images are completely flipped. This is the situation with me and my sister. When we are together especially everyone thinks we are very similar because I suddenly act like more of an extravert (it's hard to be shy and retiring around ENFPs. Suddenly I feel like I have drunk too much lemonade ) and she looks up to me because I'm her big sister so sometimes copies my behaviours. But when you get to know us it's as if we are each other but turned inside-out. Completely different yet there are similarites that you can't quite put your finger on. |

hehe... "like each other but turned inside out." Ni/Fe/Ti/Se for one, Ne/Fi/Te/Si for the other. I'm not sure how deeply you read into mbti, or whether you knew the cognitive functions of INFJs and ENFPs lined up like that, but it did make me chuckle. |

When did you realize your dream of financial broadcasting? And how do you get all this done?? Its a long story. Lets just say I made some major scarifies. I'll talk about it on ENFP chat next time. Just remind me. hehe... "like each other but turned inside out." Ni/Fe/Ti/Se for one, Ne/Fi/Te/Si for the other. I'm not sure how deeply you read into mbti, or whether you knew the cognitive functions of INFJs and ENFPs lined up like that, but it did make me chuckle. ISFJs are Si Fe. But INFJs... I am very interested about your Fe and how it works, especially if you are introverted. It just doesn't make sense to me. |
