I think I am, I think I am

but I am not sure.

Here's my problem... It isn't the E or the N or the J, but the F. Sometimes, I am a big heart, but other times I am a big brain. Sometimes, I am more comfortable being that big brain, but I feel I am actually this big heart.

Of course, this DOES translate into the... whatever my life has become as of late... this schism between head and heart, but... when I read about ENFJ's, I feel I am reading about myself -- the self most people don't see, the self people see only in my closest relationships (which are all that I have at the moment at my own devising), the self at what I feel is it's most authentic.

But I do share things with ENTJ's... like the mind that won't shut up or slow down and runs circles around other people. However, I do repress a lot of what I think out of concern for other people -- they might not be able to take it or be ready and so I wait until it is ready to be said -- I trust myself not to forget. I do tend to think I know what the people around me need and I do hate being alone and tend to expend a lot of energy taking care of the people around me (and yes, to the detriment of my own health... a year ago, I found myself in crisis).

It's the thinking thing... does feeling mean you don't think? How does that work out anyway?

I am not as goal-oriented as ENTJs seem to be... I have a plan that I then worry and fret won't work because I am not certain I am doing enough because I am communicating with folks on-line, making sure of my long-distance friendships, etc.

So, I guess I am supposed to get out (hee!), but from where I was certain, I feel a degree of... what if...and I'd like some help, if you good folks don't mind.

Heart,

Quentin Ergane

    They say its the hardest 12 inches <wink>
    (between head and heart)
    But some of us live in the middle.

    Everytime I test, I score equal on T and F
    so they have this thing called ENXJ--
    But who knows what that is?

    Also, consider that one's personality can
    change over time-- we can grow and change.
    (One woud hope)

    I moved over time from an I to an E--
    just little by little became less fearful,
    more trusing, more friendly, had more fun...
