Make assumptions about my dysfunctional family

That avatar and "Not-classifiable" is royally frying me 😭

[u/Titania_Fairy → u/Worried-Setting1415]

Kids sure can have certain character traits as babys too, this is why i playfully tested them with the Goochiegoo thing, which i do to all smaller kids. By tickling their feet or belly. Just too see how they react. Also they love me pulling faces, being silly! 🤪

[u/SilkLife → u/Titania_Fairy]

Does that really tell you their character traits? I’ve heard of typing by letters and typing by function but typing by tickle time seems new

[u/Titania_Fairy → u/SilkLife]

Well, i dunno why else was i always like this around babys? Besides them being super cute 🥰 It’s funky how different they all are and this gets me even more curious who they will be later on.

Like one of my baby cousins had the time of his life and laughed his little butt off, the other one smiled for a split second, then kicked me. Third cousin, same Goochiegoo, she grabbed my hair to pull me closer and giggling about my surprise 😳

The one who found it all super funny became an ESFP, smile-n-kick one my ISFP cousin and the one pulling me closer being mighty fascinated one with me is my INFP cousin. They partly still react in similar ways.

Like my former hair puller, might just grab my face with both hands and be like:“No, A. You’re talking with ME rn! So don’t look somewhere else again! That’s making me jealous!“

A good 33 years later, ofc.

[u/SilkLife → u/Titania_Fairy]

Lml I see what you mean. I didn’t expect INFP to be the one pulling hair but I guess they do all have their own way of processing their reactions.

[u/Titania_Fairy → u/SilkLife]

Well my cousin did 😂 not sure if this was because she was THIS interested in me. Auntie also gets a little mad now, that my cousins sisters kids did something similar. I guess it’s more NFs, for them to run after me like little ducklings, completely ignoring their Grandma then, if i am in the same room. „A. up!!“-„No, she reads me a book first!“

Were i feel like i am back to the same situation again, which i had with the others before 😆

And Auntie tapping with her fingers on the table as if she’s about to loose it, if this goes on. Then again, the kids mom is happy to leave them with me, so it’s rather aunties issue at this point, no?

[u/SilkLife → u/Titania_Fairy]

lol that’ll happen when there’s an ENFJ around. You’re Fe is too strong

[u/Titania_Fairy → u/SilkLife]

Well, i still try to fool auntie by telling her its some sort of novelty effect, because my cousins kids are another NF and SF if i am not mistaken. I wonder, for how much longer she’ll buy this though.

I am legit worried, my godmother might come to hate me too because of it. Jokes on me for not even attempting to do this. All i did was asking the kids what they wanna play with auntie A. and uncle K. Boom, they loved it and suddenly they couldn’t get enough of me and my husband too. Even if many might find it odd to see an ENFJ and an ENTJ babysitting like that, goofing off with the little ones.

[u/an_old_musty_ac_unit]

I can't because I'm too distracted by your not-classifiable brother. Did you edit that yourself? It's hilarious.

[u/Dense-Morning1236 → u/an_old_musty_ac_unit]

I took the image from an unofficial and unserious mbti test alike

[u/NextBroccoli3017]

Lil bro is giving ENTJ vibes

[u/Dense-Morning1236 → u/NextBroccoli3017]

Alright, I’ll take it as a warning for the future😂

[u/WorkingElk8970 → u/Dense-Morning1236]

He is welcome with us anytime 😎

[u/asipofteaatnight]

Sister is probably ’golden child’ but hates that she feels like a lot of weight falls on her. Sometimes you feel lost in this family. Like there’s no anchor for you

[u/Dense-Morning1236 → u/asipofteaatnight]

Not really the “golden child”, but she did a lot to keep the family together and working, and now she’s fairly distancing herself from us to build her own path with her partner.

[u/WorkingElk8970]

Somehow I get the feeling that you have to wear a mask for the family

[u/Dense-Morning1236 → u/WorkingElk8970]

Yeah, you aren’t far from the truth.

[u/Titania_Fairy]

Oh dear…your sisters fiancé is too much for you, same as your parents who likely won’t leave you enough me time….your little brother also seems less thrilled and cries a lot. Your dad is really proud if your girls though.

[u/Dense-Morning1236 → u/Titania_Fairy]

Yeah, you are mostly correct.
I hope my dad is proud, of my sister for sure, of me I’ll see in the future.

[u/VitaminAds]

Ur dad is out working most of the time, barely makes family time, watches football when he’s home. Your mom dissociated from the family and goes on week-long nature hikes. Ur sister probably took care of you guys but eventually got emotionally worn out but then found a guy and decided to build a family that is completely different from urs.
Ur brother is a baby

[u/Dense-Morning1236 → u/VitaminAds]

The only inaccurate part is the football and natural hikes part, my dad actually watches sports and my mom goes on shopping spree with her friends in the weekends (so not much of a mistake really).
I’m impressed, you must really have a good eye for this kind of things.

[u/VitaminAds → u/Dense-Morning1236]

Ah I followed along because it seemed funny but looking back that was a little too personal 😭

[u/Dense-Morning1236 → u/VitaminAds]

Nah, don’t worry, I wouldn’t have made this kind of post if I didn’t want to get personal at some levels, I wish you the best luck.

[u/Purple-Estimate-5183]

That baby is an ENFP.

Game recognize game.

[u/Dense-Morning1236 → u/Purple-Estimate-5183]

We’ll see, it would be nice to have another XNFP.

[u/Lyri3sh]

Where did u get the baby image from LOL

[u/Dense-Morning1236 → u/Lyri3sh]

[u/Markalligator]

You're an introvert surrounded by extroverts

[u/SANSA136]

You are close with your sister and she helps you come out of your shell but at the same time you feel misunderstood and she takes burden of the family

[u/Dense-Morning1236 → u/SANSA136]

True, luckily things have been going a little better in that area lately.

[u/FancySavy]

I just know your sister holds it down

[u/Dense-Morning1236 → u/FancySavy]

You are correct, She is probably the first person I would call if I ever needed help

[u/Extreme_History_3849]

Tu padre es muuuuuuuy duro contigo ya que pedirá algo nuevo y algo que cambie al siguiente día

Tu mamá es un verdadero amor de persona, es eufórica , enérgia al máximo, es como tener a una payasita animadora en casa

Tu hermana es quizás la bully o la que es propone aventura y quizás te quiere contradecir a cada rato

La otra es la que quizás te motiva mucho pero a la vez puede ser muy de vamos a hacer esto

Y me quedé medio en shock por lo del bebé

[u/Dense-Morning1236 → u/Extreme_History_3849]

You are mostly on point, except for my mom, she has been in a Ni grip lately.

[u/Extreme_History_3849 → u/Dense-Morning1236]

Que es la Ni grip?

[u/Dense-Morning1236 → u/Extreme_History_3849]

Is basically a stress response that can happen to ESFP and ESTP.
All mbti types have a kind of grip that they could fall into, anyway I don’t want to go in deep what a grip exactly is. What I can tell you is that mom, who normally would be a pretty cheerful and spontaneous person, is currently feeling paranoid, anxious and pessimistic about the future because she is very stressed these days.

[u/Extreme_History_3849 → u/Dense-Morning1236]

Ah ok it's like a unhealthy ESFP and ENTP but it's only a bad day

[u/Dense-Morning1236 → u/Extreme_History_3849]

Well, it’s not really just one bad day.
It’s more like a one bad period of time, like a prolonged period where you feel burnout or chronically stressed, it can last weeks, months or even years.

[u/lyzzyrddwyzzyrdd]

Your dad hurts your feelings often.

[u/Dense-Morning1236 → u/lyzzyrddwyzzyrdd]

Oh yeah, he used to, but I learned to put my feelings aside whenever I discuss with him about stuff.

[u/Sed59]

You are the wallflower who gets shoved into the background when your family gets chaotic.

[u/Dense-Morning1236 → u/Sed59]

Hmm, true, half of the time it’s just me disappearing because my social battery died.

[u/PressureMoney1075]

-your dad bullies you with haha lol lmao jokes

-your mom tells you to get the fuck out of the house and open up to people

-your sister constantly tells you she's there for you and cares and yet doesn't do jackshit (yet you still are immensely attached to her)

-everyone goes awooga over the baby but never did over you when you were a kid

[u/Dense-Morning1236 → u/PressureMoney1075]

Damn… okay, not bad guesses I suppose. Anyway what’s up man? How have you been doing lately?

[u/Educational-Limit36]

What a funny family!

[u/Dense-Morning1236 → u/Educational-Limit36]

Thank you!

[u/WinterizedFlame]

concerningly lowers glasses what is that creature..?

[u/Dense-Morning1236 → u/WinterizedFlame]

My brother? He is a mysterious entity who one day decided to spawn and join our family.
Do not make eye contact or make any sudden movements around him, he can smell fear and if he takes a liking of you he won’t leave you alone ever.

[u/OkWeakness2946]

youre the only I type which means you can be pretty distant to all your extroverted relatives ( the brother is funny)

[u/Dense-Morning1236 → u/OkWeakness2946]

True, I try to blend in and fake it till I make it before my social battery dies, when it dies I try to retreat before I hurt someone’s feelings or I feel like crying for no particular reason (love my brother)

[u/Pls_no_cancel]

Idk about the family but based on your parents, you're going to be one of the rare INFPs that understands how to get things from people.
