ESFJ Diaries

Practical, sympathetic, curious, loving, sometimes a little too set in our ways.

Socially anxious ESFJ problem:

Walking/existing reaaaaalllyyy quietly and unintentionally scaring the bejeezus out of housemates. And, by extension, yourself, from the screaming.

[ESFJ Diaries @ESFJDiaries]

@QuirkyViolinist Thank you. I appreciate that ❤️

[ESFJ Diaries @ESFJDiaries]

My parents go into court tomorrow. This has been a long, messy, painful summer. And I’m scared even though I’m a Big Strong Adult™. Any love/encouragement/kind words/cute animal gifs you want to send this way would be welcome.

[ESFJ Diaries @ESFJDiaries]

@annaliviag RIGHT?

[ESFJ Diaries @ESFJDiaries]

My love language is acts of service.

But, like, more specific than that.

My love language is when other people allow me to do acts of service for them. That’s it. That’s all I need.

Me leaving a text unanswered overnight: completely chill about it.

Me not receiveing a reply within 5 minutes of sending a text: ABSOLUTELY ZERO CHILL.

Clearly, I am a child 🧐

Going through old journals (a truly mortifying experience) and finding that my preteen ESFJ self was constantly indignant about my peers being disrespectful to adults. The level of my indignant reactions is HILARIOUS.

[ESFJ Diaries @ESFJDiaries]

Hello, I’m an ESFJ and I just felt guilty upon realizing my door was open because I was crying and afraid I might have disturbed other members of the household by neglecting to close the door. This is a problem.

[ESFJ Diaries @ESFJDiaries]

I get such a rush of joy from simply having and taking the opportunity to show anyone genuine kindness, warmth, and respect. It’s so simple but so, so fulfilling.

[ESFJ Diaries @ESFJDiaries]

Forever worried someone will find me frozen around a corner or on the steps just gathering the courage to ask someone something.

Sincerely, the weirdo standing with feet on different steps and half hanging off the banister by the arm, unmoving.

@butteredglitter Heyo! Welcome to the club. It’s a weird place to be sometimes, but I love it.

[ESFJ Diaries @ESFJDiaries]

“Why is there no MBTI dating app yet?”

Because that would be TERRIBLE. You can use type to help understand your partner, but don’t use it to find them.

Sincerely, an ESFJ in a longstanding happy relationship with an INTJ. (The biggest no-no in the book)

[ESFJ Diaries @ESFJDiaries]

If your house suddenly seems cleaner, go find the ESFJ living there who is afraid they irritated/upset you in some way.

[ESFJ Diaries @ESFJDiaries]

"If you clean their kitchen they can't be mad at you for anything": the ESFJ conflict resolution/prevention mentality.

[ESFJ Diaries @ESFJDiaries]

LOVE being the mom friend the vast majority of the time.

But, you know, sometimes the mom friend needs a mom friend.

[ESFJ Diaries @ESFJDiaries]

I get an unreasonable amount of joy from coming to a complete stop at a stop sign 🛑

[ESFJ Diaries @ESFJDiaries]

@INTJ_girl19 Ah, it just has people’s names on it, so I don’t want to put the actual spreadsheet on here. Just the knowledge it’s something that I’ve kept up for years now 😅

[ESFJ Diaries @ESFJDiaries]

“Is the fact you have a spreadsheet of all your friends’ types something you’re going to put on your ESFJ Twitter?”

Yes, yes that’s something that should be known.

[ESFJ Diaries @ESFJDiaries]

@greaterknowledg Absolutely! There’s so much nuance and complexity to what makes us who we are that it can’t be narrowed into such rigid boxes of extrovert=outgoing.

[ESFJ Diaries @ESFJDiaries]

I think it says a lot about me as a person and as an ESFJ that I was more nervous the other day sending a message asking someone I’m very close to if I could stay with them for a while than emailing my dad to tell him I wouldn’t attend his hearing. Life’s hard these days, folks😅
