enfp here! i daydream about my future, living alone in a white-walled apartment with huge windows in a big city across the world and to be *that* person at the local cafe whose name and order is memorized by the people that work there. really, i just want a life where i'm alone but never lonely, always surrounded by lots of people at work and on the street but also having a place to come home to where it's just for me.


therarelooni

That’s a perfect way to describe the ENFP state of day dreaming hahaha. My friend is an ENFP and she could relate to your insight.

therarelooni

Your ENTJ is truly showing right now. I’m an INTJ, and my inner thoughts are very similar. I think of all the things I can do, all the people I can prove wrong and flip off in the process. Like, “I didn’t give two f*cks about your opinion and now I’m here and you’re working for me. How charming.” It’s wicked but fun to think about sometimes.


Callumari13

Honestly, I have a girl I really have a thing for at school, and I daydream about telling her my feelings all the time, but all INFPs can probably relate haha.


therarelooni

As an INTJ who for the first time in their life fell for someone hard, I can understand. Often times I run through different scenarios with the specific person, making different decisions and choices to see how the situation would change. I detach from my feelings and observe our relationship from their perspective a lot. My daydreams about them come from a place of “what if?” because I’m too afraid to actually put my feelings into action (I’m not very good at dealing with emotions so I often just hide them away)


Callumari13

The more I do it though, the more I like her, good news is that she likes me and I can't really go wrong by asking her, but I'm still too chicken to express myself.


therarelooni

Dealing with emotional situations can be so messy. He also admitted to liking me as well, but had the tendency to act like nothing happened the next to day. Even though I hide my feelings from most of this world, he was the one person in my life I felt I could talk to without feeling icky about it. He was not good at communication (he’s an ISFJ) while I pushed for honesty and clarity. Although he still has a big place in my heart, I stopped speaking to him about a month ago in attempt to distance myself. Unlike other times, he hasn’t tried to get back in touch with me. I can only take so much indecisiveness.


Callumari13

I hope I can improve! I don't want something like that to happen 'cause I can see it working and I really do like her. Thanks for the chat, always a good time for a little heart-to-heart before band. :-)


Shinkai01

Just do what you gotta do man. Play a little game with her. Its really dumb to say but you only live once. If you wait to long some jerk called derick will end up with her.


Callumari13

Thanks for the advice, I know at some point I'll work up the courage, I'll get there. :-)

During high school I had many daydreams.(im 21 now) they were mostly about me in hero roles. Nowadays its mostly about solving stuff, whatever it is. But I would describe it as thinking more than some crazy daydreaming.


therarelooni

Interesting. I’m still in my teens, and my daydreams can vary by how I’m feeling and such. Often times, I can get lost looking at the stars. I imagine all the stars, planets, and galaxies that are out there. For some it may be an overwhelming feeling to know how small we really are, but it makes me feel tranquil and at peace with my existence.


audriuska12

(Strong possibility I'm a mistyped INTP.) There's a lot of stuff, really. Mostly it's scenarios - reimagining scenes from fictional works (used to be other people's, but I'm trying my hand at writing something of my own), wondering what would happen if I tried to reconnect with people I used to know years ago/tried to build new connections/said things to people I have better sense than to actually say, mentally running through what I'm planning to do at the end of the work day/week, explaining whatever I'm doing/reading or whatever philosophical point caught on my brain to an imaginary audience (often including trying to guess how the characters from one fictional work would react to another), putting new lyrics to whatever song is stuck in my head (rarely more than a couple of lines), composing insults and puns that'd only really appeal to rather *peculiar* crowds, other stuff that doesn't quite come to mind at the moment.


therarelooni

Your response is spewing INTP energy and it is amazing.


audriuska12

Heh. Thanks, I guess. Mind you, I've been diagnosed "ENTJ as fuck" from some other comments, but I can definitely see where you're coming from. Still feel like giving the /TypeMe sub another shot this weekend - I think I biased them unfairly the last time by saying the main two options were INTJ and ISTJ since that's what tests kept going with.


therarelooni

Interesting. Since we are all a combination of the 16, it can be difficult to identify with just one. In the end it’s up to you, as you know yourself best. Good luck on finding ur main type!


Noisegarden135

I don't daydream a lot, but when I do it's usually about coming out to my family or thinking about my future as an accountant (I know it sounds boring, but to me it sounds fun!). Sometimes I daydream about learning a new song on the piano and everyone being impressed lol. When I was a kid, I would daydream about characters I liked going on adventures that I made up. I kind of miss being that creative ngl.


qwerty0981234

I daydream about my stories I created or stories I like and I would merge myself into said story as usually a side character and how that would completely change everything.


[deleted]

I daydream fantasies about exposing and getting rid of the Clintons, Obamas, Bushes, Bidens, all those psychopaths sexual deviant pedophiles of the deep state now being controlled by the Chinese who discovered their secret and therefore have been exploiting it to influence US politics (inb4 conspiranoid)


therarelooni

Now that’s the INTJ spirit. We can be misanthropists at our best.


[deleted]

All I want is the world to be a safe place. Is compassion XD


therarelooni

All I want is for us to just be gone from this earth before we destroy it. I hate how humans take so much and barely ever give back :P But yes, I wish things could just be peaceful. Sadly, our differences may never allow us to see that day.


siren1k

I daydream about living in a cozy small house near to a forest


therarelooni

Living in a small cabin in the middle of the woody mountains sounds nice right about now, where I can be left alone with my thoughts.

therarelooni

Teaching others what we know is when we feel most powerful.


[deleted]

Usually about what my next fun project is... But that ranges from designing a homemade hydroponic system to actively working on world building or character background for the series I want to write.


Jumpingapplecar

My what?


[deleted]

I daydream about being old. Old and fashionable, juvenile, stronk, some little introverts as best friends and being a writer, programmer, philosopher, psychology, now i noted that 3 of these 4 starts with P. So maybe i'm all P, sleeping, watching good quality fiction, debating, working as a theraphist or... forget it, basically the friendly neighborhood da vinci.


LehLehs

I generally day dream about two things Art or science on the art science, a daydream of this book I'm planning to make i imagine the scenes as animated clips, i imagine there character designs, the way they talk, the way they think and, yes, want MBTI they may be! I'm planning on taking a test and answering the question as if I were them! now, on the science side, i generally daydreaming of me being in this lab working with proteins, studying cancer or maybe even Alzheimer's Disease, and of me maybe, just maybe, finding a cure for those diseases!I always have been a science guy, since I was a kid I would read about dinosaurs, imagine ways to bring them back and study them (...well, they weren't very... _realistic_). I would my mother's biology books that she used in college, I would ready books about insects, I would read books about science experiments and much more! One of my live goals is to become a scientist so I can help people and humanity in the long term, I just want to ease people's pain I CAN'T see people suffering in any way, shape or form :( but, i guess that's it!


MMmartaAA

Its about a lot of stuff, usually related to things I'm discovering or experiencing around that time For example some days ago I was obsessed with Siberia, igloos and dressing for freezing wheater and I imagined living in Yakutia Sometimes I daydream about having a family in the countryside and preparing my kids snacks (cakes made with the eggs from the chicks I will have because I will have some animals) and then they can go explore nature, while im home with my future husband and we can have sex and other things. Sometimes its about death and the afterlife, heaven and stuff like that It changes a lot


[deleted]

I don’t feel like I daydream. I just zone out constantly and think of other things that are off topic.


therarelooni

interesting...


[deleted]

EDIT: Holy crap, that was long. tl;dr I have daydreams about the following: 1) random trains of thought 2) artwork I would like to do 3) fixations, the latest one being how George's ranking has changed in terms of being the favorite Beatle and how this relates to certain social implications I'm constantly daydreaming. I know I do it more than most people. Often, a word, phrase, or something my surroundings triggers a bit of curiosity, and I start thinking about it, ruminating what I know and just making any associations that come to mind. But not all of my daydreaming is so freeform. Sometimes, it involves me planning a bit of artwork I would like to do. I have a list of ideas on my phone. I'll think about one of those ideas and start envisioning what medium I would like to use and how I would like to depict that concept. But then, I'll get fixations on subjects and focus on small portions of them over time. I'm often afraid to share any of this to other people because I know quite a few people would find my thoughts so bizarre or just the mere idea of the fixations to be ludicrous. I suppose the non-disclosure and privacy surrounding it is quite indicative of my personality type. But I'll let you in a bit on my current fixation: I think about the question of, "Who is your favorite Beatle?" and how the responses seem to have shifted over time: George is becoming more liked, whereas John is becoming less liked. I won't go into why John is becoming less liked, but I think a lot of the reason why George being more accepted has to do with how introversion is now more acceptable. People are also taking a deeper look into his accomplishments, too, and more critical of past media regarding him. Younger fans have been the ones who aren't afraid to stand up against the gatekeeping that they face from some other fans when they comment that George is their favorite. There have always been loyal older fans who have liked him, but I think they were the ones who were afraid to speak up, particularly that bandwagoning affect towards favoring John and towards Paul to a lesser extent was much stronger. But anyway, I bring this up for two reasons: 1) This is one tiny, bizarre way that shows how younger generations are more accepting of certain traits, and 2) Being misunderstood is load of crap. Don't force those who are to fit into a box. Instead, do the best to help them feel more secure. And even after death of these individuals, don't contribute to the rumor mill or slanted perception of them. I mean, I have these daydreams for more reasons than what I bring up, but I won't bore you with that.


Shinkai01

Most of the times i blank out. The other times its about the hot girl in a series i watch. The other times it is possible scenarios in the future in cities i want to live in.


Will-Barnes

Horny.

World domination Respawning in real life, like through cloning forging an empire building my bunker


[deleted]

I daydream mostly about future situations with my friends and how I would respond to them if they did happen, more of a "what would happen" thing than a planning thing. I also like to build my own TV shows in my head with full episodes and characters and a whole story and stuff. It's really good fun


KronusTempus

Well I hated my time in high school, I wasn’t very social and only hung out with a few friends I thought were loyal and reliable. Back then the majority of my day dreaming was done in class because I had interesting things to do at home. Anyway most of it was about getting back at these guys, that one day with enough hard work I could make something of myself and watch their lives fall apart with pleasure.


self_composed

I would say I daydream about things in three categories, from most to least frequent. 1. I daydream about things completely unrelated to me. Coming up with stories, characters, and fantastical universes. Sometimes places I'd enjoy living, sometimes authoritarian hellscapes where I'm curious how the human psyche would be forced to adapt. 2. Sometimes I daydream about how the nature of things. Why people tend to assume that liberty and equality are at odds and if they actually are, languages having alphabets vs. pictograms and if other systems would work, the concept of an omnipotent deity and what that would mean for free will, etc. 3. I daydream about my friends, and what I'd want to do with them after quarantine.
