    1. Victim Mode/Creative mode:
    Live creatively, think outside the box, seek CREATIVE solutions to problems, take charge, making things happen yourself
    Victim Mode: Focussing on how different we are, feeling bad, accepting what u don't like without tryna actively change it.
    2. Avoiding discomfort and Pursuing Purpose: (P.s as ENFPs, u probably have many "purposes")
    -Enfps very optimistic but may become compulsively avoidant, chasing highs. Dont do that. Carefully cultivate the areas which seem difficult (relationships, jobs etc)
    -sometime ENFPs have intensee emotions, which can cause them to go into avoidance, such as mindless scrolling on social media, rather than actually pursuing your passion.
    -Enfps great at observing,sitting with their emotional experiences and helping inspire others to persevere.
    -if you feel that u are meant to something, dont give up during the tiny "difficulties"/discomfort along the journey. go forward anyways with self compassion
    3. Selectively honest and radically transparent:
    -dont be selectively honest just about some partss to try to get validation, do not put on a mask, do not people please etc.
    -be more transparent bc it is healing for mental health as "we are sick as our secrets". bc the more we hide our secrets, the more we suffer. be honest about yourselves.
    -communicate more authentically, dont be harsh though.
    4. compartmentalized well being and holistic health:
    -To not have sooo much structure, rigidness, honor your natural energy
    -be spontaneous, fun but not irresponsible
    -having a good balance between routines, structure while alsoo exploring, seeking new possibilities
    -be accepting with all parts of youu

    It seems to all come down to the dramatic, passionate ENFPs having to learn how to manage their moods. They need to express their emotions in order to understand them. They need to act them out, but in an observing, reflective way. This is part of their charisma - they have better access to the unconscious than most. They strive for deeper meaning, always exploring their depths - unless they are caught up in self-avoidance and self-numbing, which occurs when the ENFP, after a creative burst, an emotional upset, or because they’ve adopted a mask / role that is a poor fit.
    ENFPs keep having to relearn that with some loose structure and regular novelty - people, places, subjects - they thrive.
    Being happy in your work? ENFP Nirvana! How do we learn to live in a way that is sustainable? We need to find a cause we are so passionate about that we will persist through all the sustained effort it will take to achieve that objective, to be The Champion.
    Its a heavy weight, burning to change the world and bring out the best in others, when so much is recalcitrant to change. Only by learning to be authentic and transparent can you ever hope to light the spark in others that sets a movement ablaze.

    I just want to share something about compartmentalising your health, because I didn’t know I have grown so much there in the last few years, and perhaps it will inspire some creativity in other ENFPs:
    I feel completely free as I am living in a different country than I am originally from, learning a new language, new culture and experiencing actual seasons. I can also explore and train for novel sports (that are not possible in my country of origin) and set goals for those, my supervisor at work lets me do stuff my way and is not micromanaging me. At the same time: I wake up early every day and start with a workout routine, I have a steady job at the university (that will also require me to go abroad once in a while) and I devote 1 day a week for household stuff. I don’t have a spouse or kids, which makes things easier for me, but I am sure I could slowly work towards that as well when the opportunity arises!

    I've not seen one of your videos before but insomnia brought me here and i'm glad it did. I've been uncertain about my ENFP result for a while, but spent most of this video laughing at the accuracy. 100% in victim mode but it genuinely is out of my control at the moment and 100% struggling with the lack of understanding, community and adventure. If I could change my circumstances right now, I would; but just 12 months and I'll be quite literally moving into a different life 👍 I'll be bingeing a few more of your vids I think!

I have been compulsively studying hollistic health...without having open space for other things i enjoy,so all extroversion and little feeling. I do feel comforted by familiarity and routine but have been driving myself mad trying to find the right balance of fluidity/flow and being consistent in healthy patterns of living. The comfort i feel in Si things felt like i would be INFP but i know this is not the case anymore.

    Recently I've been running in the mornings, i'm really proud of myself when i do, and although i had to change up my routine a little in the evening and at night i feel healthier during the day because of it. I know it's important for me to do so, but i also teared up a little at hearing the part about how i feel like i have to choose between healthy routines to keep me 'healthy' and wild spontaneity and friends. I know that ideally, I can balance between the two but i'm still learning how to :') I realize i merge into my ideal self (i feel like i can describe my ideal self as a ghost that i can tap into and see exactly what it's doing at any give moment, and sometimes i forget to tap into it but have been trying to get better at doing so) when i run, which right now in my life is rare.

    Wow, this was really great! I will definitely subscribe! I'm an INFJ who has been through a lot, faced a lot and overcome a lot. I would consider myself fairly mature and healthy even though I'm hard on myself and beat myself up a lot. I was recently close to someone I suspect was an ENFP, I really felt connected to this person, I feel I was my authentic self maybe a bit off-putting. I guess they were not in a healthy place. I tried to be very supportive, uplifting and I wish them the best! This brought in a lot of perspective with general psychology attributes perfectly articulated into the context!

    This victom mode / creator mode thing sounds like me. Unfortunately, as the youngest child of an abusive family with a narcissist literally spreading rumors behind my back to everyone, ill of health and with about zero financial resources, I don't know how to get out of victim mode. I suggest things that are reasonable and they get shot down. I seek help and the narcissist swoops in with lies. I take steps on my own and someone comes and destroys what I am hoping to write, sell, work at, save. Ugh! After a while, it is just safer to sit and be a lump.

    I just finished this video and found it revelatory. While I know un/healthy types isn't exact psychology, looking at my type through this lens really helped me understand me now, and surprisingly, my "old self".
    I grew up in a traumatic environment, even into my early twenties. I really prided myself on being one of the "quirky and unique" INFJs because by the quiz and my perception of things, that's what I thought I was.
    But looking back and even in the present with the early years of my healing journey, I can totally see that I was living as a "false type" because of my environment and belief system. Now that I'm growing and forgiving myself and meeting my true self for the first time, I see that I'm closer to an ENFP than I thought. And regardless of whatever type I am, it's just nice to know that I am making progress in life and there is a version of me that is happening to life instead of the other way around.
    Thank you so much for your content. You're so awesome!

    I'm an INTJ 4W5 and "anxious/preoccupied". I'm a 53-year-old male American-born Irish Jew (yes, it's relevant). My ... friend? best friend? is a 27-year-old female, Mainland China-born ENFP, Avoidant/dismissive who's grown up here and is an American citizen. Those aren't irrelevant details: They describe our really weird, platonic (not my choice) friendship. Literally, she asks me for advice on her latest attempt at getting a bf and I DO try to give good advice! The thing is that I SEE how she sabotages herself. I see why. I'm combat-related PTSD that had to be dragged, kicking and screaming into therapy. Once I got it, though, I just adopted it as a framework; a way of understanding and talking about things.
    I'm a INTJ and I get systems. When there's a problem, I either have a solution or find a solution. I found YOU and your videos are the answer to the problem.
    Damned if I can grab her by the scruff of the neck and make her spend 20 minutes listening to anything you have to say. Not ENFP, Not Avoidant. Not why she's not happy and not getting what she wants, but always gets what she asks for.
    We talk every day, but listening to you (and my therapist) I realize I'm out of my league. How do I ask questions that will lead her to looking for help? I am an INTJ Combat-related PTSD guy (LEAST likely to accept help) but she confounds me.

      Normal for ENFPs to talk to people of all ages; the situation you describe sounds normal. The ENFP will discover - there are many ways to learn. Please don't expect you'll find "all" the answers, especially not for another - a lesson many learn painfully. Keep encouraging learning, small habit changes.

    I never comment but now I have to... woaw. This resonates so much. Especially number 2. I got layed off a job 3 months ago and since, I am asking what I should do next instead of just taking another sales job in another startup... I have some opportunities / ideas coming up and I feel like I have to go through / experiment them fully - especially since I have unemployment benefits for 18 months that allow me to support myself no matter what! But often, these feelings of wanting to seek out the security of salaried employment again, so that I can be proud and as exhausted/dejected as the others in the evening when we drinking our beer, come rushing back. I'm planning to become a stop-smoking coach. I know how to do it. I have the skills and the deep desire to do it, to help other, to pursue my goal (yeah ! number 2 I told you). I'm off!

    THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I needed this so much, I’ve been acting different them myself all the time around other people, and I’m so unhappy, and I’ve been looking for a solution, and I’ve finally found it! I’m doing all these bad things, and some of the good things I’ve been working toward! Some of them, though, are new and I realize I need to go after them!
    Can you give advice on what to do instead of chasing the dopamine? I don’t really have friends to talk to often, and when I do, I don’t know what to talk about. I’ve been in victim mode all my life, and I’m always thinking about how no one else is like me and understands me. How do I not?

    For me, I take a constant creator mode, but sometimes it’s recording a new song, making a new painting. Kind of mini-creator mode as I look for new opportunities to pick up something bigger. I’m raising a son, whose 12, so since I haven’t started my big organic farm plan yet, I’ve taken him to farms to volunteer all over the world. It’s hard to know when to go all in on a plan, because I’m aware at some level my life has been all over from a pH.D chemistry, research, then tutoring at risk kids, then painting studio Beijing, then raising my son, it’s never settled. I want to start my farm and have a yoga studio but it feels really scary to commit to a plan with what I perceive to be little flexibility.

    I have an ex who is an ENFP that I just had to cut off from my life because of her unhealthy state. At its worst, it's a sad sight to see because I know what she's capable of and just how wonderful she can be as a person. But she struggles with facing the harsh truths of reality and runs from discomfort like her life depends on it. She plays victim to life and refuses to take on her own life path in order to reach her full potential. She has become manipulative in a way that's endangered a few people's lives a few times, and mine too one day. Which is why I've had to cut her off. I've done quite a lot of work on my own mental well-being as an INFJ, and one thing I've learnt from that path is that you can't save people who don't wanna be saved. It's better to rescue yourself from them before they drag you down with them. But, considering how much she meant to me once upon a time, it's not easy to accept that I just have to watch her lead herself to ruin and not be able to do anything about it. I want to hold on to the hope that she will finally find her way to her best self and do the work towards self-improvement, but it's hard when I consider just how dangerously she's been living lately. By the time she wakes up, it might even be too late for her to actually save herself. Given she's got a daughter (not mine, of course) -I fear the child is going to be the biggest victim to this state of hers than anyone else. Which I've already seen happen before she finally decided to send the child off to her mother. How does one help in a situation like this without putting yourself up for ruin in the process?

      Dear fellow INFJ, I resonated so much with your message as an INFJ surrounded by ENFP family members. I've spent a lifetime's worth of energy trying to help them, and you are right, some people just do not want to be saved because the victim mode is easier at the moment for them. It's a struggle to let them lead their own lives, especially when you don't want them to harm their children.... but ultimately they must make their own choice in life. Sending love and light on your journey x

    Hey Heidi! Super valuable info as always!! Ι absolutely have to share this with the ENFPs of my life!!! I have an idea to offer and a (irrelevant to this video) question.
    1. I've read about Levels of Development in "The Shadows of Type, Psychological Type Through Seven Levels of Development" by Angelina Bennet. Check it out, maybe you could make a video out of this model.
    2. I've read on the MBTI manual that the Person-Centered approach seems more fitting for ENFPs while the Cognitive-Behavioral approach seems more fitting for INTJs. So, what's the therapeutic approach of your current therapist and how satisfied are you? What's your experience regarding the various therapeutic approaches?

    I would like to see a video on when an ENFP is confronted with chronic health issues that have no hope of getting better. (I put this at the top because long video reply) I have chronic health challenges and don't have the physical energy I did to seemlessly go from one activity/social encounter to another. I need to rest more and to manage my time more, which is a "wah, I don't wanna!" I know at some point, I'm going to have to let some things slide, and I'm just delaying that and getting more exhausted.
    In relation to this video...
    I'm an ENFP who daily has been running the gauntlet of rules and regulations (taxes, insurance things, contracts...). I have to stop any creative flow because I have to i.e. do various paperwork, learn new software systems instead of getting my actual work done on the old ones which worked perfectly well. I feel as though my creativity is being stifled at every turn. It's wearing me down, and as a result I'm doubting my ability to make good decisions. And I'm definitely starting to exhibit ISTJ traits.
    Simultaneously, I'm at the point where I am living many things that I want and, mostly, with people I like. This is so awesome, but has also become somewhat of a "may you get what you want" curse. I feel trapped by the wonderful things now, and the juggling I'm doing to maintain all of them is draining me instead of feeding me (chronic health issues are a big factor too), as I'm often forgetting about things until a deadline approaches and panic sets in. And I want time to explore new things instead, and there doesn't seem to be time.
    If only there weren't so much arbitrary paperwork at every turn, I would have more energy to enjoy my life more, and do them better because I won't be rushing through them so much. I'm missing the deep dive that illuminates all, as such.
    Thanks for your video!

    Ok, the masking got to me. I am a chameleon. Usually this is okay because I can read the room pretty quickly and know "my audience", but I have realized I do this because I don't feel up to par with others and that most people are just inherently better than me. I understand intellectually that this is not the case, but years of being miss understood and told I think differently than most has really affected most of my interactions.

    As a mom of three and a married woman- I feel like my life is obligated toward my family and the needs of keeping things running and everyone alive. In doing so, I can't seem to find balance within myself or my life for the adventurous, spontaneous, fun me. My husband is an INFJ. We are a great match, but for sure I've adapted a lot of my routine to what I think works for him. He's constantly pushing me to do what I need but I'm often stuck. I can't even imagine what I need and when I do- I still feel guilty for having my family do what I want to do. Lol it's insanity and I'm driving myself crazy! 😅

    Hey Heidi, I have a question
    As an ENFP, what do you do when you are forced to live in a place that makes you feel like you haft to block out, and change who you are as an ENFP with no choice at all. Like say your discovering your an ENFP, you figure out that where you are doesn't help your cognitive functions, or helps you be able to really express yourself, and do things the way you would be more comfortable to, but you right now can't leave, your stuck and you don't have a current way to get away from whats putting you in an unhealthy spot as an ENFP
