    How do ENFPs present themselves when meeting others for the first time?

    If someone met you for the first time, what is the first thing they would notice about you after the first 30 seconds of talking to you?

    I'm just thinking of how ENFPs present yourselves when meeting people for the first time.

    Rather refer to meeting someone in a social context, than formal like work.

    It really depends on the vibe I get from the person? I'm different with different people (hence my nickname, "Chameleon")

    With some people they think of hilarious off the bat.

    With others they think I'm really serious and quiet.

    Others think I'm interesting

    Some find me boring.

    Some think I'm introverted

    Others extroverted.

    Some think I'm non stereotypical.

    Others think I'm stuck up.

    At the end of the day though, I think I try to present myself as "nice". And generally, that's what people tell me.

    They would notice that i laugh a lot. how eager i am to help them with their problems. how much i move my hands when i talk. how i have good eye contact. beyond that i wouldn't know, i don't pay too much attention to my behavior when i am meeting people for the first time. but i will say i'm little stand-offish when talking to a person for the first time because i'm trying to figure them out. but i'm basically always very giggly when talking to people whether it's 30 seconds conversation or hours .

    Yes, I'm very much a "Chameleon" but not nearly to the extent of truevitality. Since typically I like meeting introverted others, more than anything else, I tend to appear very INFP-like. Calm, gentle, kind, listens a lot, gives out compliments and smiles easily. If the person is an intellectual though, I'll look very INTP.

    Probably confidence of body language (I don't slouch or drag my feet), direct eye contact when introduced with a genuine smile and interest, friendliness, and total acceptance (for those 30 seconds anyway).

    Some people are very cold when you meet them ... it sucks!! They look and feel fake as hell, but of course, that just makes me want to poke them with a friendly-stick until they loosen up, lol

    People keep thinking I'm persian.... >.>

    I think it's because when introduced to new people I slip into some sort of weird accent to try and brush past the "awkward introduction" stage and just go straight to hanging out and relaxing.

    My nerd background def. shows up in first impressions a lot, I come off as somewhat shy and I tend to keep to myself. If I'm surrounded by more friends than strangers though I come off as zany and cheerful, also depending on how much alcohol is in my system, more alcohol = more likely zany fun cheerful, up to critical mass when I rival an artisan in their natural environment as the center stage center of attention.

    if I'm not loosened up though, I definitely come off as much more reserved, or just relaxed. I don't try to force anyone to like me, and I don't really seek attention at all, I just lean against a wall by a friend or two and people watch.

    It's pretty weird, I can come off as anything in the range from very shy to very out there social.

    I'm friendly...I'll look straight at them and initiate a conversation where some people wouldn't...I'll laugh and talk very easily. I consider myself easy to talk to and quite warm I think I give those impressions...besides that, I'm extremely silly and/or outrageous

    They'll notice that I'm very nice and friendly.. that I am mature and humble.

    When I'm "on" a good proportion of my first time meetings see me put on an exaggerated Brooklyn/Joisey accent. I'm not sure if I can explain that one.

    Ha...yeah like mentioned already, a variable of different people will have a variable of different first impressions about us. It depends on the situation, as to how we will present ourselves when meeting others for the first time. Usually I am quite and curious in the beginning, then finding people of interest to talk, and if we click then it's magic and it's fun. We can talk about anything and everything and sit in the boat stationed on the lawn and gaze at the stars. Other people get so many different impressions, I think, that if you got them together at the same time and asked them individually, what was their first impression of us? what did we seem like? you'd come away with a heap of different stories and different views. Some would say, oh she came across as shy. The next person would say, that one was wild and didn't stop laughing. Someone else might add, they were dirty dancing!
