I find that if I’m chemically obsessed with someone, yes. Meaning, I love the way they smell on an animalistic level.

Otherwise, still yes but not as much if I consider them back burner emotional material.

I know this sounds awful but, I never really go all in, on someone so, anyway. That’s how I am.

I really loathe the jealous parts of me and overall, I’m really not a jealous person but sometimes, it can spring up and it always surprises me tbh. Like what? This feeling? Oh this feeling is pathetic, I have to either work out how and why I’m jealous to be confident again OR I just completely ignore or leave the feeling. I never let it fester. Not worth it and not meaningful.

Best thing in this world is my imagination. Everything in reality no matter What you désiré have good/bad side. Even having children, be a milliardaire. If you think you will be happy once you reach a new goals, Forget about it. What you will meet is other problem.

Thank me later. ( made this conclusion after 30 years on earth)

Mine is ENTP EN(T) 7w8 sp/so 748 ILE SCUEI Sanguine-Melachonic. I’m not sure if that’s common, or if that’s the right order 💀 I do know that my moral alignment is Chaotic Neutral, which seems pretty typical ngl.

I think one of my old high school teachers was an ENTP, and I believe it's possible that being in a figure of intellectual authority caused him to become enamored and entrenched in his worldview. That got me thinking along the lines of "what happens to a debater who can't debate and is always told they are right and wields the Appeal To Authority fallacy?" Thoughts?

I want to read genuine observations that you have noticed. There are very stereotypical things for lower B (mine): bad memory, forgetting the lighter in your own hand, creative management skills but stressful on details. Do not believe in the classic and aim for your own style of doing things, etc. Even the NeSi axis seems to be noticeable in the fact of generalizing everything, making predictions of what would happen if... or hypothetical developments of or of fact in simple talk.

I dunno but I wonder why most people will see ENTPs as evil devils lol but the truth of the matter is that we are tuned to the real things that matter in life? This is why at first in life, it might seem like the ENTP is an unmotivated drifter and wanderer but then when we come back we manage to outpace everyone in our age group. The contrast is super clear. We even out earn the ENTJ and it’s not even close.

is it just me or is your inner monologue always insulting people?

because i'm too much of a nice person to voice these thoughts but i really really want to tell all the annoying asshats in my life to just go fuck themselves and come back when they can finally fucking think. It's so annoying because i come home super frustrated because i cant voice out what i actually think because people are too sensitive. i cant even argue civilly bc people dont like to be told that they are wrong, even in a polite way

am i just a shitty person or is this a common experience?

(also i can definitely handle people telling me im a pos..... mostly because i am lmao)

i’m an infj woman and u guys are my favorite. it’s almost a masochist-like love because u anger me to my core but i also can’t get enough of dissecting ur oh so interesting minds and what u truly are inside. where are u guys!!

So I’ve been US watching military stuff and it has got me thinking how lucky my country is that we are US allies atm. However, it also got me thinking. ENTP’s, at least for me tend to dislike physical conflict, or conflict in general. I’d probably be a cook, or something that requires as little conflict as possible. But if forced, I was thinking I’d wanna train to be a sniper or an engineer. But then I remembered it requires more physics than it does math. As an entp, I’d probably be an interpreter so, I can use my words to try to not cause a fight.

But, as cook i could also figure out new recipies emu based

MBTI - where I consider myself an ENTP. I have the cognitive functions I do, with Si as my soul or inferior function. I often notice this through my internal sensory impressions, which are diffuse and seem to only give me a sense of my body’s state. These impressions vary, come and go, and feel unreliable. If I try to bring an imaginative image of these sensory impressions, can that help develop this function?

The challenge of focusing on and developing the Si function as an ENTP is real, but it is possible. As you mentioned, attempting to create and recall detailed images of your internal sensory impressions could be a good way to improve this function. Try observing your body in the moment, paying attention to small details about how you feel physically, whether it’s tension, relaxation, temperature, or other sensations.

Another approach might be to connect sensory impressions with memories or details from the past. The Si function can be developed through conscious awareness of how different sensory experiences shape your understanding of the world and how these experiences build an inner archive of sensory-based information. Over time, this practice can make the Si function feel more reliable and natural to use.

You asked: Can’t these impressions be turned into imaginative images that offer a new perspective?

It’s definitely possible to transform these sensory impressions into imaginative images, and it can indeed provide a new perspective. Although Si primarily organizes and stores concrete, sensory-based memories, you can use it creatively to build a richer and more structured inner world.

By visualizing and processing these impressions as images or scenes, you can create a more comprehensive experience of them, strengthening both self-understanding and bodily awareness. This could also serve as a way to harmonize Si and Ne – Si gives you details and memories, while Ne can explore new perspectives and connections between them.

One way to approach this is by setting aside time for a kind of “inner meditation,” where you let your body express itself through imaginary images. For instance, if you feel tension in your shoulders, you could visualize that tension as a tight rope, a knot, or perhaps a heavy blanket resting on you. Then, you could use Ne (extraverted intuition) to explore how these images might shift or release, observing how bodily sensations and inner images influence each other.

This could be a pathway to developing a deeper, creative relationship with the Si function, one that’s not necessarily bound to memories of the past, but that provides an intuitive and sensory perspective on bodily states in the present.

You asked: If, for example, I feel tension in my shoulders, I could visualize it as a tight rope, a knot, or maybe a heavy blanket resting over me. But here, I intuitively feel that sensing what it is rather than visualizing something concrete that resembles it might give a more accurate picture of the relationship?

You make a great point! For many, directly tuning in to bodily sensations without visualizing them as specific images can indeed provide a more precise and immediate understanding of their state. This approach might yield a more accurate picture of the relationship between your internal sensory impressions and your awareness.

Focusing directly on the sensation—without transforming it into a symbol or image—can help you develop the Si function in a way that feels more authentic. This involves being present in the moment and noticing your body’s signals exactly as they are, without extra layers of interpretation.

Techniques like mindfulness or body scanning can be particularly helpful here. These practices encourage non-judgmental attention to bodily sensations, where you observe them without trying to change them or assign them a specific form. This can strengthen your connection to bodily signals and increase your awareness of how they impact you.

Integrating this approach might allow you to gain a deeper understanding of your internal sensory impressions, contributing to a more balanced development of your Si function. The key is to find a method that resonates with you and feels natural in your own process of personal growth.

Hit me with your funniest opening line.

Edit. Fr disappointed y'all boring asf. Would've had more fun on a infp/ intp page.

I don’t really know where I fit. Also how different are intps from entps. Aren’t entps just extroverted intps? How can i know for sure what I’m more inclined towards?

To give some details about my personality, I have nerdy interests and I like learning a lot(be that a skill or a hobby or studying). But im also very chaotic and have little discipline. I have extreme mood swings and identity crisis at times and I also feel extremely motivated some other times. I don’t have social anxiety or if I have, there’s not much of it. What makes me think I’m intp is that I don’t really have many friends. Mostly because I have been focusing on myself more and stayed at home studying a lot or doing sports or reading. But I don’t find it hard to start conversations with people. But from all the people I’ve talked with there are only a little I’ve really felt I’ve connected with and usually those people are much alike me or have similarities with myself. Maybe I like those people more because I’m also narcissistic but hey I’m trying to be honest. I do like to make myself herd though and I have a maybe unhealthy urge to force my opinion on other people and I have quite the love and hate relationship with my ego. What I found out I really like is lecture people or talk about deep and meaningful topics. Like I enjoy small talk but what I really love is talking to people that mirror some of my feelings(because it’s easier to understand and it’s more fun) and talking about either abstract philosophical or science topics or about personal stuff. I also have the tendency to overshare. I also have a weird tendency to joke a lot about things that bother me but I want to have someone to talk about them with. Also i do talk with myself at times but I swear I’m not crazy(not yet tho;)).

I also feel like my social life has only just begun so maybe it’s too early to judge based in that I’ve definitely became more social then I was like 4 years ago(Im 20 now).

Yeah so I find it annoying that I sometimes feel entp sometimes feel intp and sometimes i feel enfj. This may not be the most accurate typing but that’s where I’m hoping you’ll maybe help me figure it out:)))

I'm wondering how ENTP usually feel when they connect with the opposite sex

Seems kinda weird to me to make this the banner when it's stereotypical of 13 year old arrogant joker type 😈 😎🤓 entp thing.

Mine is pretty much humor and listening to music. What do you to cope with sadness, anxiety, etc?

Because I definitely have, and God, back to the depression loop I go BAHAH

I’m emotional. Like I cry at every family related plot, I cried my ass out for every single spider man. But I don’t make decisions listening to my feelings or gut bc the very few times I did that, I regretted it deeply. Most of my big decisions I’ve made were based on logic rather than what I actually wanted. For example, I got the chance to repeat the last year of high school(not forced to) and chose to take that opportunity to better my end grade even though my friends were pissed of and I wanted to graduate with them. Turns out, the best decision I’ve ever made. That was the biggest recent decision, that’s why I took it as an example. Now you might guess, I’m a teenage girl and I’m not gonna lie but I am victim of mood swings or anger outbursts or as said, shedding tears but that is simply because I just don’t feel like it’s necessary to hide emotions. Hiding my emotions are always things i regret and while I still do it sometimes, it’s not often. If someone pisses me off, I will tell them about it. I also got called dramatic bc they simply didn’t stand why I was so confrontational instead of just taking it. I even got “mistyped” and outright judged after saying I’m an entp bc of it too So my question is, do you guys show emotions too or do all ENTPs need to act like cocky jerks that don’t feel any emotions other than being a hot cocky jerk that likes to win arguments????? Bc I’m honestly losing my mind if I get judged by another person that only did ONE 16 personalities quiz and think they have it figured out 😭🙏

I would consider myself a hot cocky girl that wins arguments tho

It seems stupid and I don't even know if it's something general, it would be nice if it were hahaha, but I'm terrible at crafts, jobs that require patience or even precision. As if in my mind it was completely easy and in practice it destroys my good mood. Today I wanted to do drip irrigation hahaha, I woke up in the morning somewhat capricious about doing repairs in my house. It's as if I enjoy making plans or devising something and having someone else execute it more. Also it seems that I am completely rough with movements, my body is hard hahahaha

Do you notice any discrepancies in this regard? Maybe they should see it in the broad and abstract context

Infj answering random questions. why? Because I’m bored. Also I have never met an entp and I also don’t know much about them. there is no particular reason why I added that detail. Idk about the title I didn’t know how else to make it 10 characters

In one of my previous posts https://www.reddit.com/r/entp/comments/1ghzwyj/struggle_with_intimacy/, https://www.reddit.com/user/mrmaybach57s/ suggested "We should really write this up as a guide for like ENTP life maxxxing and sticky it. I suspect it would help a ton of us who haven't had the time or money to figure it out."

I thought it was was a great idea so I did some searching in past posts and found little information related to such topics.

Therefore, I am hoping that you guys could drop some advice for the rest of us tailored for ENTP.

Thanks

The Mac and Cheese Thinking Theory

Mac and Chess Thinking Theory

The mbti is a theory which is self described as subjective on an individual level.

Combined with the desire of human beings to create a ranking, which here implies social darwinism and the desire to be better.

We can clearly see that some types are better than others.

Introverted < Extroverted but extroverted can be a big pussy when faced with external threats. However, we are not looking for the types that would be stronger when faced with a downwards reality as we are looking for ambitious types, that would make it best in a successful reality. Because those types are the ones that expand upon that reality and end up bigger and bigger

Sensing < Intuitive While the average sensor may be better at picking up fights, the intuitive is a better story teller, better liar, better deceiver and Makes more Money.

While the sensor steals from your local walmart, the intuitive will steal old lady's purses and scam people on the internet, so we can see which one is better.

Thinking > Feeling. Feelers may be considered "good" as they are very attached to the things they value but ultimately a lack of attachment trives in the modern world.

The less attached you are, the better it is.

If you are not attached to the outcome, you are less likely to be frustrated by it, or to fail by fear. You'll just play your best cards and hope for the best.

You'll not be attached even to your life and personal well being. Which is clearly a benefit as we've all seen feelers make clowns out of themselves in the attempt of fulfilling their personal values.

Judging > Perspective. While the perspective types may become lazy entrepreneurs that make money that way, trying to find the easiest solution to a problem, the hard workers almost always get rewarded by the universe more.

Judgers are getting more fulfillment ultimately, making it a better life strategy.

The choice between judging and perspecting is ultimately yours.

Good luck

So who here has adhd, I really wanna know. Cause I'm trying to see if there is a correlation

Chat, I'm glowed up to be pretty decent looking and but still don't a girlfriend. IDK how people like cuddle for hours or how a relationship even advances to that stage. I'm allergic to the phrases such as "I love you" to say to anyone because it feels ingenuine and weird. Is my personality just cooked??? One day I feel like tony stark and the other day I start feeling like Dr.House. Is there a way to fix this(like how I started making eye contact with females)?? plz plz plz

ENTPs are known for being clever and quick thinking, and we certainly walk around like we are, but do any other ENTPs feel like they're not smart enough? I feel like the more I learn, the more questions I have, the less I actually know. I guess thats the curse of being one of the more curious personality types. Any other ENTPs relate?

Warning, more unrelated content. Not enough people talk about idea fomo and now I feel like I should monetize my personality. Like jesus christ y’all are being yourselves and making money off of that? It bugs me when I do shit anonymously or I talk to people and then people come out doing that for everyone to see and they got all these views and you know they’re getting paid. I could be getting paid for my addiction and trauma?? Sign me up please 🙏🙏 Why do I even bother with friends sometimes like I might as well just be a friend of the people atp. Friends disappoint but the people don’t. I should just fuck around and make everything a marketing scheme. Lolz my ex didn’t care for my weird interests but the internet does. Idk what I’m saying anymore y’all, I’m going to bed 😛

Good bad or meh. Would like to know. - fellow INFJ woman
