Curious, curious, curious, curious (Interesting enough?)

Just wondering what other people think about my type.
Some things about me...

• I have a tendency to feel embarrassed for a person (whether that person was embarrassed or not) if in the same situation I would have felt embarrassed.
• I like helping people in a way that I'm sure will have a great, beneficial impact in their lives. Social conventions I will follow as to not cause myself embarrassment, but other than that conventions seem fake at times.
• Joining social groups is fine for me as long as there is not a strict commitment. I like it when I feel part of a group, but I feel stressed when they place high expectations onto me.
• I'm a pretty forgetful person. My mom usually gives me something to do and a few seconds later I forget almost everything what she said except for a few basic parts.
• When I hear a song, I usually remember how a song sounded like, but I have a hard time remembering what the lyrics said. I'm usually incredibly shocked that a person can actually remember lyrics.
• Nowadays, I find myself thinking what might happen in the future (Where am I going to live after college?, What kind of environment will I live in?, What kind of pets will I going to have?, What kind of job will I have? Will I be happy?). This and repeats of songs.
• I am rather a daydreamer, but I think more of the concrete kind although they can be fantastical as well.
• I lose my things easily. I lost my cellphone several times (One time, I found it in my mom's car and the other time I found it in my mom's purse). Also, I have a tendency of finding dollarbills in the washing machine. Maybe it's because I don't see much value in money by itself.
• When I wear clothes, I like to wear clothes that would not cause people to stare at me (I don't think of myself as a noncomformist), usually clothes that are dark or drab (like dark blue, forest green, black, grey, white, and brown).
• I don't like the idea of role models. I rather be my own individual person whoever that might be in the future. The idea of role models is just too confining and most real life people from the past have glaring flaws that I have a hard time accepting.
• I have a hard time telling my personal experiences and feelings to other people. It just leaves me to be way too vulnerable and too much open to attack.
• When I was little, I was rather gullible because I tended to freely give my lunch money to my friends.
• I don't have any favorite characters in fictional media, although I do have favorite plots. I just don't want to connect with any of them lest I see some flaw.
• When feeling depressed and lonely I have a tendency of getting very attached to my personal possessions.
• I remember when my language arts teacher gave our class a prose to read, I thought that the prose had a very interesting perspective on marriage (about the importance of practicality) that I have never thought of...until my teacher said the prose is a complete sarcasm against the practical nature in marriage. Then I felt rather stupid.
• I hate being rushed and have a tendency to have a hard time waking up in the morning (Just a few minutes more )
• I take rather long showers, which my parents complain about. I don't know. I guess I really like to reflect on myself in the shower.
• When I was a kid, I get lost very easily and ends up with me frantically trying to find my parents because I start looking at something else or follow someone who seems to look like my parents but ends up not being so.
• Usually I try to do my homework but ends up looking at some other topic.
• I have a tendency to first do my homework, but ends up daydreaming in the middle of it.

Whew! This is a quite alot. Hehe. Sorry for the long post.

I actually think you might be ISFP.

You seem like a pretty good Fi user. Especially since you described your dislike for other role models. How do you think you might use Se?

Well, at first I thought Se was connected explicitly with impulsiveness. I really didn't think I was really impulsive. However, I feel attracted towards movement like the movement of animals (This is also probably the reason why I liked calculus more than other math courses although I still don't really like math that much). I also like changing scenery, it stimulates my mind (I also love car and plane rides for that reason).

Does this sound like Se?

If you feel energized by getting out there, then yes. It takes me much longer to feel like I should go out and do something when I'm not on a schedule at all.... Like right now... Gosh I feel so lazy.

ISFPs might be seen as impulsive due to their desire to react to the world outside of them. I was once an impulsive kid, but I think it was due to an attention deficit that gave me sloppy tendencies and sidetracked me a lot from the task.

I wouldn't say I'm an impulsive kid, I'm more of the frightful one.

I looked at the thread above and I can definitely see Fi, but Se, I'm not completely sure. I like going out, but only when I'm by myself with no one around into a quiet forest or fishing with no one to interrupt me.

I relate to almost all of what you said, except:

Does this apply to people in your everyday life also? Is it possible that this is an idealist trait?

Well, I am not sure if it really apply to people in my everyday life. I never asked them, and I never told anybody about this either. Maybe they do since people don't seem to care too much about role models nowadays.

I really don't know if this is an idealist trait or not. Could it?

No, I meant you not wanting to connect with characters because you didn't want to find out their flaws and be disappointed. I was wondering if you think that way about real life people in your everyday life.

In real life, I don't connect with people for the fact that I believe that everyone is different. I don't want to emulate anybody else around me because I want to be myself and different from others (However, in a way that doesn't grab too much attention).

I actually relate to 90% of what you said...which might lead me to believe that much of what you said is unrelated to type But we are both enneagram 9, so that could have something to do with it.

That being said, I get an Fi-Ne impression from you rather than Fi-Se. I'd have to know you better to give you more solid explanations, but it's just a vibe I get. If it helps, here are some descriptions of Se and Ne so you can compare them:
