But then, the ENFP is involved in an activity, I said alone, means without doing any activity and even without talking for hours. (not sure how true is this for all of us).

Nope, it's ISTJ.

Does this mean sitting in a corner doing absolutely nothing? By this, I mean they aren't reading, using a computer, watching TV, listening to music, writing, or anything like that. If this is what you mean, that kind of behavior is a pretty good indication of depression in anyone regardless of type.

Stress can bring out inferior Si too. Depression isn't the only probable cause.

By alone I meant not doing anything but just reflecting on one's own thoughts. If you count it as absolutely nothing, then that's it. And that's why I mentioned that I'm not sure whether it happens to everyone or not, but being an extrovert, it's quite unusual and makes me feel uneasy when I'm not depressed.

Thanks for pointing that out, I didn't know that.

The ENFP who usually texts like crazy doesn't respond to them anymore, and if she does, it's very short answers. Just the thought of responding feels draining.

Reflection doesn't mean you're depressed, i reflect all the time regardless of my mood. Actually i would say reflection is done more when i'm happy =)) because i want to sort out my thoughts and validate them with my Fi. This is what reflection means to me, sorting, filtering, thinking, observing everything internally, you don't have to be depressed to enjoy it.

I can relate with this too, when i'm deep in thought about something that is happening inside i don't want to be disturbed from those thoughts, almost like i focus completely on what's bothering me, so talking interrupts this line of thought, so feels draining.

They don't create crazy scenarios with you anymore

It's funny, I reflect as well, but it's not like quiet meditation the way I imagine when I hear the word "reflect"....It's more like I'm investigating. I will think of something and then I start my research. I start reading everything I can about whatever issue I'm having or thinking about. Then, as pieces of the puzzle start coming together, it seems to branch off into other areas and I end up learning a ton of new stuff. Sometimes I will do this for long stretches at a time for several days. At the end of it, I want to talk it through in order to really finalize it and process it. So this means I will tell my Husband all about what I've learned and what I plan on doing. This usually leads into a new interest that I am highly involved in for months.

For example...I think "why do I have so many interests that I can obsess over?" this will lead me to discovering I do it to avoid boredom, which might lead me to MBTI and enneagram and basically a whole new realm of self realization, and so on.

Is it like that for you as well, or is it more like quiet reflection?
