Obsessions, MBTI, and Ballet alter ego, therapist

[Ali Renee]

So, I don't know if any of you are into MBTI (the 16 personalities test) but I discovered it about a year ago. Now I am Obsessed with it- at first it was fun and not harmful to look it up.

Now it is just pissing me off- every time I am bored. I look it up, it is getting to be over-kill in my mind thinking about it. I feel like I cant stop though. Its just frustrating, and those that are into MBTI- if you go on forums, its the same shit said over and over again.

I also have always been interested in ballet, my alter-ego, MDD mind is a ballerina. It is just frustrating at this point. I want to find peace with me not a character.

Instead of going out and meeting people- I just have me alter-ego do it, in my mind.

I just want to escape this.

Should I go see a therapist?.....probably, yes. Lol.

I obsess about the MBTI, too. Then I learned about the Enneagram, and it's a whole different thing. Combine them together and it's a very compelling theory. I type as INFJ on the MBTI, and 6w5 on the enneagram.

I am an INFP- 4w5, I just started learning about the Enneagram. I do not like it as much than MBTI (probably because it focuses more towards weaknesses).

Oh Jesus the MBTI - I'm fucking obsessed with it haha. I'm an ENFP :^) And 3w4 on the Enneagram I think. I prefer MBTI to Enneagram myself though

Hey, sorry for replying almost a month later, I keep meaning to use this site more.  Its interesting that an INFJ, ENFP, INFP are all on a MDD site- I have been wondering for a while if there is a correlation between type and excessive daydreaming.  I'm obsessed with it too! I have a question for you, since you are an ENFP: Do you feel that Fi is being constantly judged? I joined a MBTI facebook group and there was an argument between an ENFJ and ENFP, and some pretty harsh words were said about Fi, mainly that it is not empathetic but selfish. How do you feel about that?

I am an INFJ also, I have not looked into the Enneagram though. I will check it out!

My MBTI is INTJ (The Mastermind). What is yours? Also, why do you obsess about it?
