    I do that sometimes. I just observe the group from the outside. I observe what people say and how others react. When I'm having a high-energy moment, I influence the group dynamics so much that I start wondering if I should just stay quiet and not interfere.

    Cool ILI hubbys are better than LSIs any time!

    This thread and your posts suprised me very much. I was thinking that only introverts can isolate him self in a group of people, even friends :]
    I just like you isolate myself but I dont know why :] I think it's just our dramatic nature.

    Yeah that's what I thought at the beginning but now I realize that I guess its more related to a disconnection with the world and my friends. I guess its that ENFj depression phase...

    good observations about the two sides of enfj. enfjs are dramatic its true. even if its something we might have difficulty comprehending about ourselves.

    We don't isolate ourselves for the same reasons.

    For example :

    You may isolate yourself because they don't naturally feel the need to relate to people.
    You may isolate yourself because they want to avoid potentially harmful people, especially if you're an extrovert.

    Social isolation itself isn't a reliable indicator for typing. But the reasons to do so may be.
