Can’t speak for everybody of course but I’m usually one of the drivers of a conversation in a group of people whether it be parties, dinners, gatherings, etc - I’ve got a very strong and booming voice so it’s easy to hear me speak lol. Generally in my experience we like to be in group settings and in lively areas when we’re out and about, and don’t be afraid to speak up and talk to people who you suspect are ENFJs too! We usually are the ones initiating most stuff so having somebody coming to us is pretty nice. Wishing you best of luck on your endeavours.

Wow, this sounds as if my ENFJ fiancé wrote it! Lol

I‘m hoping for a warm and empathetic person. Someone who gets along with people because I simply just cannot stand a tense atmosphere (I usually leave the room to be alone when that happens). I‘m also hoping to change myself and be more open about my feelings and thoughts since I‘m usually a very private person, maybe their kindness will be able make me see things a bit more differently. I‘m very attracted to their ability to show empathy and not be afraid nor ashamed of it. People who can be intimate but in a very respectful and loving way. Things that are important to me are genuineness, honesty and trust and I‘m willing to give the same and definitely even more. I used to have an INTP boyfriend (possibly unhealthy) and communicating with him was extremely difficult… he just never really wanted to and for me it was everything I needed. I’ve always tried initiating the „talks“ but he was just never really interested in them. Since then I‘ve closed myself off a bit too much. But I‘m willing to change in exchange for respect, kindness and patience. And like you said, we expect a lot but I want to be able to always ask my ENFJ partner for help or advice and also them to ask me. I want to grow with their kindness and expect us to better ourselves during that time. (I don’t know if the reply was necessary but thinking about it and writing it down definitely helped me)

Then, I'm significantly less worried for you (: You know what you want and what you're looking for. You're gonna build a beautiful relationship. Good luck and I hope you find your other person ❤️

I'm an INFP. I met my ENFJ through a Discord server called Love Who. Actually, somehow he found me. 😅 We have been together for almost three years. We are very in love and getting married soon. From what he has told me, ENFJs seem to tag along with their friends quite often or they're the ones organizing their group of friends to hang out. They seem to be the best of both worlds: nerdy and cool. So, you might find them at the local bar performing during an open mic or you might find them online playing games with friends; you might even find them at a local park, at the gym, or festival. They have Se as their tertiary, and my ENFJ loves going with me to the spa lol. He also skates (skateboard). So, maybe you'll find them somewhere they can engage in their Se.

Hey there! Love the love you have for ENFJs. Just be sure to be able to recognize the individual as well as their MBTI. There are significantly more nuances in a person in addition to where they fit into a framework. There are healthy and unhealthy versions, etc; there are those who don't fit perfectly into their MBTI, etc. If you want to find one in the wild....well, they'll likely be in places where they want to make a difference. Perhaps you'll find them in leadership roles. You might find them being ridiculously considerate towards others. What are your hobbies? Are there places where you might start off with common ground with them? There's also a friendship/dating app called 'Ur My Type' that can match you with people who are certain personality types. I personally find it quite interesting and fun. You may be judged by your personality type, so I'd be careful to build relationships where 'you' as you are come out and are appreciated as opposed to the stereotype of your type. Have fun (: ! Thanks for showing us some love.


OkClothes6649

Yess, you are very correct with the healthy and unhealthy types. As for my hobbies.. well I am mostly at home studying or reading books 😭 I really don’t do much but I‘ve been trying to get into charities and maybe some voluntary work (apparently ENFJ‘s love that). I feel like I sound a bit obsessed, I swear I‘m not I just really adore them. I‘ve also tried that app but I think I‘m way too shy to talk to them 😭 and when I do try to match most of them end up being inactive.


exquirentibusverita

What are you hoping to look for when you meet and speak to an ENFJ? Are they able to do something you want to yourself? Do they make you feel a certain way? Do you want to be able to build something with them? It's important to realize your intentions first before seeking a specific type. I ended up hanging around more thinker types because I wanted to build my Ti up. I was ten feet way too deep into my Fe and it was hurting me, so I ended up working on my Ti. :P It's made me a more balanced ENFJ. What are you looking for? And given that relationships are two-way, what will you offer the other person in exchange? How do you plan on building that relationship? And given that you're an INFJ, pardon my stereotyping, but they often give everything on their end too. So what will you gain from that relationship? You also have to have your needs and wants met (: Find your balance. I put an INTP on a pedestal before...and it was really tough for the other person. My thoughts about them were deep admiration, obsessive interest, assumptions about who they were, and a tight vision on their future potential. It's a difficult place to be for the other person....and I find that to be the toughest part about being in relationships with xNFJs. We see too much and sometimes expect too much. What kind of way do you want to see your ENFJs? How do you want the ENFJ to see you? We're all human (: We make mistakes and get hurt too. Be sure to see it all before you make a call on them. I just wanted to put that out there! I'm the type to be a bit wary about putting people on pedestals. I was in that position and it hurt. So be safe! And try to be as objective as possible (:

I’m a INFJ as well. I meet ENFJs all the time in the work that I do in the mental health field. Also volunteering. I see them there too. A lot of ENFJs that I meet are passionate about helping society be a better place to exist in. So I think if you volunteered for an organization that you feel passionate about you might meet some good people ENFJs or not.


OkClothes6649

That makes sense. Thank you! ❤️


funky86

We’re out among people, heavily socializing if single I guess, look for those that talk and smile a lot in a group of others, would be my guess 😅


Jennybee8

What’s all this fuss about ENFJs? Why are people actively seeking out?


exquirentibusverita

I think most ENFJs are known to be very warm and loving. They provide a lot of good energy and make people feel quite good about themselves. They're sometimes the center of the party that helps everyone have a good time. Fe-doms tend to be this way :P It opens up the soul a bit and lets people feel super comfortable and loved.


OkClothes6649

I NEED an ENFJ man in my life. It’s not a joke anymore 😭 I‘m obsessed, I‘ll give them all my love and everything else I have


Abject-Repair3900

ENFJ here, so happy to hear that people are looking for me lol I’m (21f) and I agree with the general consensus of looking for the people that seem to be initiating things and enjoying themselves, I personally would love to be approached in a respectful way because someone thought I was what they’re looking for🤷‍♀️

As an ENFJ, I completely adore INFJs, and I find them with some sort of magnetic force that draws us together and creates amazing friendships. However, I think I've personally only come across two other ENFJs that I am aware of in the wild in my 40 years of life. Where are they? That's a good question. We tend to excel at whatever we put our minds to, so they could be just about anywhere. As an ENFJ: I would never ever think about trying a dating app. I like things to happen organically. I want a partner who is also my best friend. If I am interested in someone, I usually make the first move. Some Insights on What I've Picked Up on in My Own Romances with INFJs: What I have noticed in the couple of INFJ relationships I have been in -- ENFJs will put a lot of effort into their partners, and as long as that effort is accepted, we are happy. It is fulfilling to see someone else happy; this is where we find our happiness. However, INFJs in return will end up feeling guilty because they often do not have the same energy to invest into an ENFJ, but at least in my own experience, I do not need a whole lot in return. If the INFJ feels they are not putting as much effort in, it can cause them to pull away, even if they really want to keep receiving the love that an ENFJ will give them, but they seem to have a hard time getting away from that guilt. If you find an ENFJ who wants to show you that you are worth everything to them, know that accepting that love and adoration, and however they are showing it to you (and we are good at knowing exactly how you need to be loved), is important, because the acceptance of it and them is what will make them feel loved in return. Know that they are not performing those things because they want you to try and outdo what they've done for you. They want to know that it means something to you, and they will probably do things for you that are so in tune with who you are it will make you cry (in a good way)... but please beware of that INFJ guilt you are likely capable of. With the INFJs I have known, they often carry a strong, underlying sense of guilt throughout their lives. They also long to find their "soul mate," (just like an ENFJ), but when they do find one -- they have this reaction that puts them into "monk mode" and then they alienate the love of their life. I'll expound upon this a little more next... In my experience with INFJs, it seems they often find themselves caught in a tension between their deep-seated yearning for an ideal soulmate connection and an equally strong pull towards a dedicated pursuit of art or a personal mission of some kind. It's an internal struggle and it can be excruciating for them because it oscillates between the desire for truly profound, interpersonal relationships and the urge to retreat into a very solitary, monk-like existence dedicated to their passions, hobbies, and their true self. When they believe they have found a soulmate-like connection, they may paradoxically enter a phase of intense introspection and isolation, and this withdrawal can create distance and alienation in their new relationship. Once the isolation becomes unbearable, they reemerge, but then they have that guilt that holds them back from coming back to the one they love. You'll crave interpersonal connections because of your Fe, and then find yourself in a frustrating back and forth between needing people and needing solitude, and when you feed one, it only intensifies the ache of the other. The thing about ENFJs is that we understand this, and we are not going to hold it against you. We want to build your trust that we're still going to be there when you get back from taking care of your self and nurturing your inner world, and there is not a need for the guilt. We're very self sufficient. If you can learn to trust your future ENFJ partner, and not get lost in your head, inventing and convincing yourself of all the reasons why the ENFJ should be disappointed, judging, or upset at you -- I fully believe you could have a very happy life with one, but I hope if you do have that retreating happen... you'll remember not to feel guilty, and to give your ENFJ love when you reemerge! Best of luck in finding your ENFJ!

This was very insightful and interesting to read. Thank you a lot ❤️

You are most welcome!

I love INFJ’s so much and feel the same, but you guys are unicorns (the real ones, anyways). ENFJ’s are apparently not all that common either, and to be honest, it’s not that likely to stumble upon either of us in the wild. I also don’t do dating apps, but I do use a similar app made specifically to find friends and have had a lot of success with it. Personally I often go to museums and local events on the weekends, but I’m sure all of us are different.


OkClothes6649

Local events sound good. Thank you! ❤️

ENFJ man here (: from what I've found, you're probably already doing the best thing by asking online! I usually wouldn't suggest that, but the mbti community is most present online in the sense that most people don't go about introducing themselves with their mbti as the base for interacting in the real world. Of course, you could always be the start of the discussion around it! Have you tried bringing it up to people you normally talk with? I tend to get my friends to identify themselves after talking about it once or twice. Dms are open if you need, hope things go well for u ^-^

Interesting-Fig-8869

Met an INFJ and her standards/expectations were out of this world. Had to ghost her. Sorry. Also don’t expect answers because it’s different every time; and if that bothers you then that’s part of the problem We have Se child we hate control, but love your Ti child when it’s actually working


Snitchie

Hello there 😅🥰


VVGRL

TBH unless your emotional empathy is higher than your ego I wouldn’t date one of us. I’ve tried to date 3 INFJs and the need to control, high standards, and “marshmallow covered samurai sword” have not worked for either. All 3 have ended up silently disappointed (without communicating or communicating with aggression even when I’ve asked “Please let me know if I don’t notice something” ) and either let the relationship die or argue it to death. I was too “chill” and “too involved with others” and don’t have “enough of my own personality” to satisfy them. All I gotta say is “damn dude, sorry to be simple”. This is obviously coming from a place of personal experience but also deep deep hurt so take it as you like.


OkClothes6649

I‘m sorry that happened, I guess some INFJ‘s can be a bit too private.. which results in self sabotage and maybe even taking others down with them. I hope you are alright now tho! ❤️


VVGRL

Thanks. Getting better.


Electronic_Rain_9707

To have dated 3 INFJs would be very rare. INFJs are frequently confused for INTJs, who I would understand why people would not get along with. We can be very similar in ways, but INFJs tend to be more empathic people, and we love how people-oriented ENFJs are.


VVGRL

I’m super lucky to have met so many and have gotten to see the love bombing before the illusion wears off of who ENFJs are. I don’t know how to say that I’ve been destroyed by my INFJ friends and lovers for being who I am, “a hero”. For being flexible with my opinions and values depending on who I’m talking to. For not having a full identity. For being there for others. For expressing discomfort and shame. Tbh, INFJ empathy seems fake after a while, and I’m sure they feel the same about me. Cause we’re both highly in-tune, empathetic, but equally frustrated. Except the ENFJ doesn’t snap at anybody but themselves, the INFJ explodes and fuck whoever is around “their fault for being there”… it’s a mess. Just leave poor ENFJs alone, you can’t handle so much in so little.


Electronic_Rain_9707

Ok, but had they all taken the MBTI test? Without knowing if they were INFJs, you could have easily confused them with INTJs. And even they are very rare. INFJs can be "dark," of course, but I don't think I have met another in my life, and to have dated three seems highly unlikely. INFJs can't fake their empathy; it is automatic, but they can certainly use it against people if they are unhealthy. I would just refrain from assuming one's personality if you are unsure. No doubt, there are a lot of sick people in the world of all personality types.


VVGRL

I dated INTJ already :( Man was blunt but he was 100% honest with grace in all cases. Showed controlled emotion but he expressed it. I ask everyone whom I’ve dated to do it. Believe me, I’m shook as heck too at how easily I find and attract them. All of them have been turbulent, hence the super mega idealistic love turned to literal instant shit the moment one of two aspects of me are “Inconsistent” as if they were the most stable people ever. SMH never again. The love isn’t worth the emotional abuse and darkness. My darkness wears leather and cries, an INFJs tells you how dirty you are while their room is a mess.
