My tentative theory is that based on the comment sections of our videos, lot's of the people here would benefit from the ability to chat to each other in real-time. I've met people who have had/still have a huge impact on me and who I have developed close and collaborative relationships with online first, that I've also gone on to meet in person. We live in interesting times where that is no longer a strange thing. Hopefully this discord will be somewhere where all of you can do the same - interesting chats, find new and useful connections etc.

Also my assumption is that this community will grow organically and become self sustaining if it's going to exist at all. So think of me as an intermittently present creator who often totally forgets about a planet he's made then quickly rushes to make sure they haven't turned on each other.

Finally, an ENTP is running the server... god help us.

One of the reasons for ENFPs to go on a dark moment of their lives or turn insensitive, is when we realize the contrast between our idealized world and the real one. It's like some sort of recoil, when we have so much optimism, it's destroyed by realism, and we end up being very pessimistic. The happiness we give is proportional to the sadness we get.

As an ENFP I have always seen through the corrupt political, social, education and diplomatic systems. Sometimes I feel nothing will change unless it does all come crashing down 😭

ENFPs seem like extremely fun people to be around with, death and destruction notwithstanding.

I am an ENFP and since discovering that I learned a lot about myself...but one thing is that I disagree with is "logic-less-ness". I found out about myself that in stressful situations or in dangerous situations I switch to cold logic. I went to medical high school, and I am a trained nurse (even though I am currently doing my Master's degree in Science) when someone is hurt - my emotions turn off and I act completely logical. And I have come to rely on that. In a lot of situations, I rely on my knowledge that is in fact very science-based.

My wife who is an ENFP sometimes shows her inner chaotic fire. Usually the nicest person you've ever met. But get her riled up about any injustice and she is inches away from killing someone in a fit of righteous anger.

The ENFPs I encountered usually have dark or offensive sense of humour. Which kinda reminds me of Ricky Gervais who is apparently an ENFP.

as an ENFP… here’s some more bad things about us: when we spend too much time alone we can become extremely disconnected from reality and run from it! or we can start to think too deeply about reality and get upset or depressed with a lot of frustrations. we are pros when it comes to hide our feelings even though we’re dying to talk about. we can easily cross the line on jokes to hide our weaknesses! when we get discouraged we just tend to give up and make fun out of it assuming the place of the sputid worthless clown and it can be really hard to make us feel better about ourselves and believe on that dream again… we’re moody and it’s not personal! most of the time it’s about ourselves and we don’t need exactly someone who will fix it but someone to just listen and give us support.
EXTRA: we just wanna be loved and feel that we’re important

EDIT: I figured out I’m actually an ENTP but all I said still checks 😅

The accuracy in this video scares me. I often feel agitated and annoyed when those around me are not optimistic, I guess it comes from me forcing myself to feel optimistic even though I know cruel things can be. I hate the system and want change but then struggle with how to go about this. Every time something wrong happens I feel my heart break because I held onto hope that it would or wouldn’t happen

[fierybookworm]

We accept that people are flawed, and will talk about it, but still ignore it for the sake of optimism. We know that humankind has always been one way, but that hasn't stopped us from having fun before... So why should it now?

INFP here, (I think lol) my ENFP friend has definitely been one of the best things in my life. Her weird extravagant quirkiness embodies what I love to see most in people and our conversations often feel more like a deep understanding. While it's painful to see her dark thoughts come out, I often can't agree more when she voices them.

It's true because sometimes when negativity around me(I'M AN ENFP 🎉🎊🎊 ) .I just become a hermit crab ..hiding myself and processing things but when I can't do that I become someone who knows how to destroy it all ... Sometimes it scares me ..because I know when rainbow goes down darkness takes over ... Don't think that ENFPs are always unicorns ... When we go for hunting ..darkness is everything you'll have

[КатеринаБарановська-нф]

For INFP the dark side of ENFP looks amazingly cool))

[Nqobile_Eland]

It actually bothers me that someone can actually know me this deep

[yllerenav]

I am definitely optimistic but when I got depressed, it was really hard to get out of it. Still healing rn tbh. Things you said resonate with me a lot.

[TheElenaNumb]

Yes !!! A discord!! I am ENFP going through my dark side a lot

[jessmulligan]

As an ENFP, it’s so true that the dark side possibilities exist so closely and easily flipped with the light side. As someone who won’t even kill spiders, I could easily see myself as Liam Neeson’s character in Taken. Not kidding 😂

[imfacejacked]

Cool vid dude. I'm an ENFP and mostly agree with you. We are so full of rage and passion that we don't always stop and make sure we are facilitating it correctly. And when are expectations aren't met then we feel ineffective and lose it. After that point we just go hung hoe on everything that bothers us because we are not satisfied. It's not logical, but we are aware that in the back of our minds that doesn't matter, because logic is a boring box to live in and you'd have to be complacent to live there. Don't underestimate a dark ENFP just call the infjs to deal with it it's your only hope lol.

Pretty great analysis! As an ENFP I know that I can get very discouraged that SJs have built the systems of the world and have put all these annoying "rules" in place. Not only must the rules be followed, but you have to do paperwork! Lots of paperwork. What's an ENFP to do? Follow your dreams only to discover how hard it can be to go against the grain. Sometimes really fun! as you point out. The adventure, sometimes recklessness, and freedom is probably worth it. If you can't break through and earn a living while remaining free the depression that comes realizing you have to do the paperwork, and maybe even work for the man, can lead to becoming like the Joker sometimes. Usually though it's self destruction through Nihilism and selfishness. Best to keep smiling, be thankful, and do some of that SI work to be a more well rounded person who then can be a force for good! Then you can follow your dreams and be very happy succeeding at what you love to do! Entertaining those around you as you do... :)
