There are scary 'obsessive fans' who go all in once they get hooked. What are their MBTI types? Today, we're picking the top 3. Watch out, you might be at risk of becoming a fool too.
3rd: ISTP - Looks cool, but once hooked, they go hard
ISTPs usually seem cool and logical, but once they get into an interest, they go absolutely wild. For example, if they get into cars, machines, or games, they analyze every part and go all in on upgrades. People around them think 'here they go again' but are amazed by their passion. However, ISTPs prefer solo fandom, so they're less active in communities. Still, they're ready to empty their wallets.
ISTP Obsession Tips
- Don't lose the boundary between reality and fantasy. Getting too deep can make real life frustrating.
- Set a spending limit. Going all in is fine, but debt is a no-go.
- Sometimes, diversify your dopamine with other hobbies.
2nd: INFP - Dives into ideals to the ends of the earth
When INFPs find something that matches their values and ideals, it's a huge win. For example, they deeply immerse themselves in specific characters, works, or social movements. Their empathy is so strong they might feel like they're living in that world. They shout 'actually, this is good!' and try to spread it to others. But the gap with reality can make them depressed, so be careful.
INFP Obsession Tips
- Turn your fandom into creativity. Expressing it through art, writing, or music makes you happier.
- Find like-minded people to interact with. Going solo can get lonely.
- Balance with meaningful real-life activities like volunteering or exercise.
1st: ENFP - Explodes with passion, drags everyone into fandom
Finally, number one is ENFP. When they get into a new hobby or interest, their energy is insane. They drag everyone around them into the fandom, create communities, and go all in on merch. They shout 'this is totally goat!' and consume related content all night. ENFP's fandom is contagious, making others join in. But their interests change often, so previous obsessions might cool off quickly.
ENFP Obsession Checklist
- When you get into a new fandom, wait 3 days first. Decide if it's real or fake.
- Make a spending plan. Impulse buys are a trap.
- Having multiple fandoms at once might actually be better for balance.
Common Tips for Obsessive Fans
Being obsessive isn't necessarily bad. It's great to get dopamine and passion in life. But don't ignore reality. Control it so health, relationships, and finances don't suffer. Especially, be careful about going all in. To avoid being called a 'fool,' you need planned fandom.
What Obsessive Fans Shouldn't Do
- Don't go into debt for fandom. That's a real trap.
- Don't force it on others. 'You have to do this too' is a no-go.
- Don't fall into self-hatred. Fandom should be fun.
