Hello, my fellow ENFPs of ENFP land! <3
I'm curious if guys ever wished of not being your type. I know two ENFPs irl who seem to really feel displeased about their personalities and I'm just strolling by to see if any of you guys feel/felt the same way.

Sometimes, its not particularly masculine.

Ummm...sometimes? I sometimes wish I were an ESFP so that i can always be into the latest styles, fashions, people, things, events,etc. Just be all into the new all of the time and actually enjoy it. I sometimes wish that I could be all about the fun fun fun without feeling this strong tug towards the spiritual, towards values and principles, towards the abstract and ideas and emotions, and away from going with the flow if it means taking me off of "my path" or detracting from my individuality. I can be very self-conscious when in a group. I always want to make sure that I am not becoming a mimic. With ESFPs, they just go with the flow and relax. For me, going with the flow and just relaxing can make me tired. Why? Because I have to work at it. I have to stay conscious and make sure that I am going with the flow and relaxing yet maintaining a balance of personal authenticity instead of doing the mimic thing which then leaves me feeling lost and confused once I realize how far into the other person's world I've gone or cut off and distant from being too authentic.

Nope, I'm perfectly happy with being an ENFP

Sometimes I don't~ typically when I need to get something done, or take control of a situation in an aggressive manner. I tend to care too much over certain things that I leave things unfinished or tend to not have the confidence to push through a difficult situation for fear of hurting someone. Sometimes, I really would like to be that 'asshole' that accomplishes the mission.

As much as I hate them sometimes, I find myself respecting them as well. You see a lot of that in the military, and it makes me sad that if I were put into the same situation, I know I would have handled it poorly for fear of offense or causing someone pain~ and in the end, that can just get people killed. I wish I could turn off how receptive I was to people, or really~ that little voice in my head that convinces me that I am, because quite honestly sometimes I'm not. Intuition isn't a psychic super power. It fails me sometimes.

I don't care about not being particularly 'masculine'~ the more androgynous I am, the better. I hate gender roles~ but I do hate having a rather dominating mentality for pleasure (enjoying control, leadership, etc~) and not always having the capacity to execute. This does not assist me socially, professionally and at times sensually~ it is most likely a problem with me as a person and less to do with my type. I doubt this is an issue with all ENFP's, but it's definitely aspects of my personality that I'd like to take control of. Issues I need to work with someone over time, I'm sure. Being a slave to my feelings is the key to many happy times in my life, but it does not always serve me as I'm expected to serve it.

Wish I knew more about the roles themselves in MBTI, maybe I'm completely off with my assumptions of it. Need more reading! <3

Only when someone is stupid enough to see me through a stereotype (expected to be happy/nice, automatically not being taken seriously because I'm not an NT, etc.), but that's only when I'm on an MBTI forum like this, I usually do like my personality, and really wouldn't want anything else.
Except...having more Se/Si might be nice. My excessive N preference at times makes communication a bitch.

This right here is by what I mean I wish I knew more about. <3

Generally I'm pretty happy with who I am with people~ I honestly wish I could meet every ENFP on the planet. It's rare that I focus on the negatives, since the positives are so much greater than anything else. I like feeling that people are beautiful amongst all the ugliness the world can provide. I like loving people before I know their name~ <3 I wouldn't trade this euphoria for the world, regardless of what other names this bliss would go by.

[Linnifae]

I sometimes wish I could be an ESFP for reasons Truvitality touched upon. Other times I wish I could be INTP because I've known a lot of them and they're so content on their own. Being an E makes me feel clingy and co dependant at times. I thought I was a I before because I can be socially awkward but I feel drained and depressed on my own. Also, I'm often envious of Ts because they just seem to get hurt less than Fs. I'd like to be able to experience life from a more objective standpoint.

[Essay]

I sometime daydream about INTJ-oriented careers, but, honestly, there's no type I'd rather be
than ENFP.

OMG, my first post on this site was "Tired of Being an ENFP". Oh yeah, I get sick of wanting harmony all the time and taken advantage of. I also get tired of people. I also don't like how deep I get into relationships. I also get frustrated over how easily I get distracted from them, too. But that is both a blessing and a curse.

Anyway. I am just who I am despite the 4 letters. I just don't like the fluffy stuff.
