But Karen, like you, there are different sides to who I am. I can come across as rather reserved until I am comfortable at least with one or two people. I can also come across like an ESFP party child---and then I open my mouth and talk about the deeper things about people, life, passion, religion, etc.



I suppose to some of the more logic oriented individuals I guess we can come across as flighty or flakey, but like you were saying Arioche (again), its that whole "first impression" thing. If you get to know them, sometimes that impression may change.

Spot on!! I agree that I come off in very different ways depending on the crowd that I am around. I often come off as slightly reserved with big groups of people at first, but have also often been known as a wild party child!

Not to come off as cocky, but I also think that we are one of the most liked personalities. I am friends with everyone and always find something in common with everyone I meet, no matter where they are from or what they are like. Not to mention we have great intuition and can pick out the bad apples really quickly. My rule: If we don't get along and you don't like me, something is wrong with you, not me

[One Dreamboat]

Hahahah it's not cocky at all I just think it's the truth, based on the fact that whenever I meet someone new they take to me really quickly. Hehehe yeah if they don't like us, it's because something is undeniably wrong with them, not us

Most people initially label me profound, grounded and mature (and never believe I'm only 23). The better they get to know me, the more warm, eccentric and fun-loving I become.

BUT, I think at my worst I come off as Arrogant, Defensive and Distant (often when I feel perfectly modest, accepting and tuned-in), which ironically forms the acronym ADD. But I definately never have an issue losing my focus on a person or a conversation---just on my writing.

weird

I'm noticing it more now that I'm working and not in the bubble of high school anymore, but people tend to think that I'm much more innocent than I really am, and that I'm not that aware of things. They think I'm really niave and often take me for granted and treat me because I'm the youngest working there that they can bulldoze over me. This generally happens with people that are closer to my age and I get a long a lot better with people a lot older than me.

Dude are you sure you are not an INFP ? it's like that for me too :p

I'm not an ENFP.
They usually think I'm quiet, sweet, warm, meek, deep, talented and eccentric. They are usually a bit cautious and uncomfortable despite a general positive impression because they assume I'm a fragile good girl, and tend to avoid telling dirty jokes around me until I say something that specifically reveals my darker side. Then they think I'm interesting and mysterious. It brings me back down to earth and makes me seem approachable, flawed and human. At that point, they either love me or hate me, depending on type, maturity and values.

My brother is an ENFP.
They think he is fun, amusing, and friendly. Their opinion of him does not tend to change much over time.

Most of my first impressions for the early part of my life were "Annoying." Introverted judging types generally can't stand me XD.

Nowadays though, I make tremendous efforts to be well liked by everyone I meet, and am usually successful.
It's strange, at parties I will generally take a back seat as I scope out the scene and sort of let my presence blend in with the rest of the people, especially if I don't know most of the people there. I go for the kind of impression a more introverted person would get, just fading into the background without needing or wanting to stand out. The last party I went to though I ended up playing three rounds of beer pong in a row, one of which I was the designated drinker for, and I've been told that I was the life of the party! ^^

I can't really relate to most of these things.

I think when someone meets me, they think I'm pretty quiet, reserved, (shy?) etc...until I unleash my personality. :) And open up a little. Then people think I'm annoying yet they already like me so they can't strangle me. (lol someone said something like that to me once...recently)

But I am definitly not liked by everyone, especially by very judging people (who seem to be evreywhere these days!).

Does anyone else have low confidence? Because I think this effects it but: It often takes me awhile to give up on a person and realize...ok this person is just not going to like me and I can't change that. That takes me awhile to realize sometimes (often because I dont want to!) Anyway, if they don't like me, then whatever, there's nothing I can do about it. (heh maybe there is something wrong with them! ya...)

but other people probably think I'm a bit nutty, but quirky, fun... outgoing, interesting...etc. I also think that (ironically) some people *may* have thought of me as arrogent...even though thats very very far from the truth...

It depends on who those people see me interacting with. If I'm being introduced to someone new who I want to impress, I'm very friendly, open, and polite. If someone sees me interacting with my friends at lunch, they usually think I'm wild, outrageous, and playful. If someone sees me in the classroom, they tend to think I'm calm, hardworking, and supportive. It seriously depends! I adapt my behavior to the individual person that I'm talking with and to the situation that I'm in, so most people get different impressions of me.

In general, I think people think that I'm fun, bright, really outgoing, and that I'm the kind of person who likes to stand out.
