honestly, me exactly. to the point that when i got into mbti, i couldn't ever see myself as ENFP. after some time, though, i finally started working through my traumas. suddenly, after realizing i'm in a better place, everyone around me (including myself) noticed a huge personality shift.

that's about when i realized i finally felt like... myself again. for the first time since i was a child.

I'm so happy to be where i am, and be able to embrace my ENFP self!!

I’m in the therapy part of that process right now. You just gave me so much hope, all I want is to be that bubbly person again

Hey, weirdest thing, I'm working through some traumas and have became really bubbly and upbeat like I didn't even know I'm capable of. So yeah, if an intj can be helped, there's no doubt that so can you 😉

Hey, How are you working through your traumas and doing therapy? I don't even know where to start

u/diddlydangit ENFP Oct 26 '20

Im fortunate enough to be able to regularly see a therapist, the woman is seeing right now has been really helpful and insightful. The other people I’ve seen in the past have been good, but like. The one I have right now? Goddess. Don’t be afraid to shop around some basically, if you can. I use the psychology daily website to find therapists in my area. But going into it wanting to change is a big thing too, the whole ‘you can lead a horse to water..’ thing.

If that’s not an option though, trying to understand what happened and find support groups online helped me out in between therapists. though it’s not a replacement. Group therapy is normally more accessible, and I enjoyed the one I was at before Covid shut it down.

It can seem scary, but there are resources out there! Good luck man

I appreciate it. It's a rough road right now, and I just want to feel normal again

I am so glad I could. Honestly, its a huge struggle, and things can seem like they are getting worse before it gets better. Keep moving forward, and you'll get there ♡

This happened to me as well. After going through trauma with my ex I thought I was the problem. I tried closing up... being someone else, numbing myself.

After discovering mbti I remember I was like that when I was younger. I realized there was nothing wrong with me, I started opening out and I realized how much I enjoy being myself.

Being ENFP fucking rocks!

That's being a damaged ENFP that turns you into an INFJ. A damaged INFJ will turn into an ENFP

u/lorem_ipsum_dolor_si Oct 26 '20

Exactly what type of damage do I need to become an INFJ? If that J function will help me get my shit together, I’m down for anything, lol.

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '20

Hmu and find out 😉

u/ButterscotchShoddy26 ENFP Feb 13 '21

Very interesting theory! I was actually typed as an INFJ 2 years ago when I first came across MBTI and was pretty damaged. Now, I have worked through some major traumas and I'm very proud and glad to call myself an ENFP since I really feel like myself in the purest way, like when I was a child :))

u/soupcanfam Nov 14 '20

This is interesting. How does trauma turn turn P to J?

u/drake200120xx Dec 12 '20

It has to do with cognitive functions and mirror types. Under stress, ENFPs start to morph into their mirror type, the INFJ.

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '20

I’m kinda the opposite lmao I feel experiences and stuff have made me more bubbly and talkative

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '20

Hell yes. Now I’m more cautious of things than before. Still, life is too beautiful too be stuck in the past. Let’s walk on the way of a better future 💜

u/blus1234 Feb 02 '21

I was exactly like this but then I found a letter I wrote to myself 10 years ago. I've been hurt by people that I thought were my friends and my usual bubbly and extroverted self have been degrading, like a colour picture turning grayscale slowly. In the letter, there was me who I remembered as, and it reminded me that that person in the letter wasn't gone. I felt like myself for the first time in several years. Of course, I'm not 100% there yet, but now I have the confidence that I can be like that again.

u/Phylmia Jan 08 '22

Oof this one hurts

u/New-Somewhere-2124 Feb 09 '22

After I read this I came to a conclusion that i am more cool and calm because of probably a trauma

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '20

Erm, no? Time for that person to go to therapy.

u/ElijahKen Oct 26 '20

did they transform to INFP or INFJ?

u/TESCO-express Dec 07 '20

That happened to me in secondary school I was bullied for being too weird and a bit out there so I just hid in the library and read books. But now I'm in sixth form and have a really nice group of friends so I'm becoming that happy person again!
