ESFPs how do you deal with loneliness and emptiness when you find nothing in your enviroenmnt stimulating and kept you engaged and you feel depressed

I'm wondering if this is an ESFP thing, or if it's just a "me" thing, but when I get rejected by those I want to emotionally connect with the most, I become upset/angry for not being taken seriously, and I get full of pride/resentment.

And my natural tendency is to burn bridges and walk away to take back control and move on.

If I encounter the person who rejected me in a social setting/hobby/club/activity where we run into each other, I ignore them, but act like the life or the party with everyone else to show they/them that I am well loved and liked by everyone else, and they missed out on me.

I know all this is unhealthy, but I wonder if this is common among ESFPs to act out in anger/pride vs typically confusion/sadness.

So I am trying to figure out Fi. I think it's very hard for me to figure out and more often than not I just dismiss it or mis-judge it.

So how does it even look like in thoughts? I mean...when you see the world alot with Fi how does it feel like to \*\*you\*\*? If its very natural in your thought process then do you feel like its something that is a judging function?

What I mean by "if it's a judging function or not" is that to me...judging functions are functions through which you make the final decision about anything. Even though you may take intuition and sensation into consideration. The final decision always is in either thinking or feelings hand.

So if we are taking feeling and thinking as same judging functions. Do you think you actively pause in every moment to think,here by thinking I mean actual reasoning of a rational function and actively working the situation out in thoughts.

So is it "Okay this is my value or this is something that will emotionally affect me and what I care about so I will take a decision keeping that in mind as the first priority" (at least something like that) or is it not like that and its something like an immediate spontaneous emotion you feel about something which is related to your values and its so fast that you never pause in the moment even if you do afterwards.(I am not saying emotion is Fi but you understand Fi through emotions right?)

In the moment of making decisions you kind of just know which one is the "right" one to you and you make the decision.

Or...is it a mixture of both examples given above? Please think if it's just thinking or if its feeling. I mean if its both then there could be a possibility that you are mistaking thinking as feeling in answering this question as both can give emotions as a result to the person. (I mean...I fail to distinguish the two so...yeah)

It would really help if you would tell me what Fi is to you and how it's like in your thoughts with real life examples.

I don't like dismissing it as it's bad for me and other people around me.

Still in uni,

Been doing my research on sales engineering for a while

Always had an idea in my mind (before I found out I’m ESFP-T) that sales would be good but was worried about stability

Until I learned about sales engineering,

Would love your opinions on it if you know a good bunch about it

And if this career would especially work well for an ESFP

How can the adhd disorder change (if at all) an Se Dom or aux? Could it make them less stereotypically sensors or Se-ish?

Hey everyone! I'm currently doing a research proposal about personality theory and would love to hear from the people in this community. What is it like being your personality type? It can range from your work/school life balance, romantic life, everyday decision making, and maybe something nobody really thinks about when it comes to your type that you may know. Anything is both helpful and interesting to me so don't be shy! :)

Mainly when I was younger I’d be judgmental over who I am around or become friends with bc I didn’t want ppl to think I’m weird or the people who I hang around, that I’d write off as “strange”, make me look weird. This applied mainly to first impressions of people, where I’d put more effort into bonding with certain people dependent on how they came across to me. So essentially I’d care a lot about social status.

However, in a lot of cases I’d end up talking to the person I thought was “weird” initially, and end up bonding with them. I recognize this may have been an unhealthy habit of mine, but could this be considered Fe Critic?

Heyaa !! okay so I mean I don't actually take this stuff seriously and just love to do it all for funsies c:, but honestly I'm genuinely curious now because I've been typed as like 4 different personality types- ENFP, ENTP, ESTP, and ESFP.

Like I relate to E(N)FP partly because I DO like thinking about my future and planning future possibilities cause it's fun to do, though I'd say for the most part like in everyday life I much rather just live in the moment. I've always been a very adventurous and thrill-seeking person and I just need to get out and experience the outside world as much as possible.

I do love talking and exploring all kindsa theories like an ENTP, but I wouldn't really consider myself much of a "debater", I feel I'm more like just a person who loves to have fun for the hell of it, and I definitely resonate more with the "performer/entertainer" label for ESFP than the ENTP "debater", I'm just a drama queen LOL !

ESTP is where I'm kinda most conflicted. I relate to both ESTP and ESFP kinda, however the one part that makes me more unsure is that people say that ESFPs always try to avoid conflict​ and are too nice to hurt people's feelings, which is NOT me at all. Yes, I AM a very empathetic person and am one of the most emotionally receptive people I know, though I do NOT back down when there's a conflict, I WILL state my facts and put someone on their place when it's deserved LMAO.

So I dunno!! What would you ESFP peeps say?? X/

Hello, ISFP here! I see a lot of questions along the lines of “what is the best mbti type?” or “if you could be any other mbti type which one would you be?”, and after studying cognitive functions for a while, I feel like the gamma types have the best cognitive functions. Maybe I’m being biased but I couldn’t imagine not having Fi, Se, Ni, or Te in my main stack.

That being said, out of the four types that share these functions, I really admire ESFPs the most. I always say that if I could be another type, I’d be an ENTJ because I get frustrated about having inferior Te and wish mine could be a lot better. However realistically, I think if I had to pick another type to be other than ISFP, I’d actually much rather be an ESFP.

I think ESFPs are so underestimated especially when it comes to your guys’ Te. Y’all have such a wonderful balance of feeling/thinking and such a magnetic energy. You guys are a force, yet emotionally intelligent and authentic. I admire and appreciate ESFPs so much not only from a theoretical perspective but also from knowing some amazing ones in my life. Thanks for being you 💛
