@smartinwriter People Mastery is a great summary of the ENFJ (from an INFJ's perspective).

I'm a contradictory, paradoxical chameleon forever. How fitting that I'm an actor?!

@clearlykrystle @smartinwriter I always compared teaching to being an actor—outside of the classroom I was quiet and withdrawn but in front of the class I became someone entirely different, The Teacher. It drew out my inner self because I was purposefully playing a specific role. It just kind of stuck after a while :)

@badsqwerl @smartinwriter Don't hurt me, but I think you may still be an INFJ - just more balanced out.

I've purposefully started doing things opposite what I would usually do, emulating an ESTP, to balance myself out a bit early (and it's greatly helped so much!) but I am still an INFJ.

@clearlykrystle @smartinwriter I would never hurt you! 🥰 Lately, though, I’ve sought out people and found myself reaching out to talk to strangers. My hermit husband (engineer) prefers to work from home in his comfy shorts and hoodie, but me? I look for social opportunities now. I quit journalism in large part because it was primarily WFH and I was lonely. I can handle being on my own but I love a good crowd.
@clearlykrystle @smartinwriter Oops, you weren’t addressing me personally 😝

@badsqwerl Lol that sounds like... Me! Except for the specific details.

It helps that I have a lot of personalities in my family and have observed them in their natural states in both good and bad moods: ENFP, ISFP, ENTJ, ENTP, ESFJ, and ESFP. And some kind of IXTP I'm almost certain is INTP but not 100%.
