Do you know how functions work? Functions are a lot different between ENFP and ENFJ even though there’s only a one letter difference.
ENFJ
Extroverted Feeling (empathy, etc)
Introverted Intuition (one right solution, connections between things that are hard to explain to others but make sense to you)
Extroverted Sensing (weak; awareness of your physical surroundings and liking to do outdoors-y things)
Introverted Thinking (weak; working with statistics/data)
ENFP
Extroverted Intuition (brainstorming. all the brainstorming.)
Introverted Feeling (very connected with poetry, art etc…awareness of your own feelings)
Extroverted Thinking (weak; organizing things, making decisions based on logic)
Introverted Sensing (weak; traditions, memories)
Having control issues sounds a lot more like ENFJ to me. Also, you can’t really rely on your friends to type you — they might not know much about MBTI, maybe they just took a test once. As for fighting with your ENFJ friend, people often dislike people with similar qualities to them.
Also, depression really affects your personality. So I’d more rely on how you feel when you’re NOT depressed.
Hope this helped?
