When you are ISFJ and they are ENFP
Pure sunshine, but the weather keeps changing
The ENFP Campaigner's bright energy makes you smile often. You're both warm and people-loving, but they use Ne to race toward new possibilities while you use Si to protect the familiar and move at a steadier pace. Their rapid changes can leave you feeling unsettled. Even so, an ENFP tends to be grateful for your constant kindness, and they can teach you to hold life a little more lightly.
