Another ENFP moment of clarity! Freedom is so important and my mother was right! LOL..
Commitment adverse is what I am. That it can become a handicap is an eyeopener. Thanks for that!
I thought this was really interesting. As an INFP, I don’t know if I have a fixation on being right per se, but certainly I could relate to wanting people to acknowledge my ideas.
In some ways, it seems like I don’t want to be vulnerable, but I think it is more like you said, and just a giving up with trying to explain myself. Between the intricacy of Fi, and the disjointedness of Ne, it makes explaining my thoughts/feelings really difficult, and it is easy to just give up on trying.
Any advice on how to better explain yourself in such a way so people can at least somewhat understand where you are coming from?
Keep up the good work!
This was a brilliant episode. I am an EP and it really helps me understand why i’ve Always felt trapped in jobs.
I have a question though. How does someone overcome an unhealthy level of fixation? I know another EP who is struggling as they have freedom but now don’t feel they can settle in a relationship and start a family because they might miss out on other opportunities. They are trapped in a cycle.
This episode was so good!! Best episode yet for me personally. Thank you so much. I’m an infj and you were spot on for issues ive been noticing in my life recently. This was really enlightening and helpful :)
This is another great podcast! I’ve been waiting for one on the FIRM model for some time now. I totally agree that it really helps triangulate someone’s type. I also strongly resonated with the example Joel explained about an IJ being in a relationship with an EP. This material has helped me become more understanding of why some people want to drink up every experience without fear or trepidation (which is totally opposite to my experience as an INFJ). Any new situation I encounter makes me feel really vulnerable. It takes me, I would say, roughly 5 encounters with the same circumstance for the anxiety to go down. Then, I am ready to open up with trusted persons. I wonder if other IJs can related to this?
If I could offer any recommendation (for IJs) on how to work with your fixation of invuneravility instead of resisting it, I would say lean into that discomfort. It is scary. It is challenging, But, it reaps massive reward in the long run. Let the fear of vulnerability be, and remember that it will pass. You’re strong enough to endure the initial shock of vulnerability. :)
P.S., I feel like your copilot’s healthy fixation for control/management will naturally come out, and you can work on it once you embrace your driver process’s fixation in a positive way.
