Thoughts? (Like bad idea, good idea? Interesting idea? Or anything else that comes to mind.) I've heard that we're not very compatible, but I need more opinions.
I just recently hurt my sisters feelings unintentionally (by laughing at her rank in class(cpge mp ) , but she became really sad and triguered and unmotivated , i feel really bad abt it i came to realise im so rude and have no social skill and I make fun of people sometimes for fun As a joke , but i come up as a bully . I hope I stop enjoying that kind of joke or sarcasm ,and be more friendly and warm , im starting to hate my type as i have adhd im lazy and distracted i cant even exel in my studies nor in my social life , i hope i was xstj
Ok, lemme start off by saying, I don’t ever put other girls down for male validation. But I do have a lot of guy friends. The reason for that is I make friendships with my friends friends. They all choppped shit, and I don’t have crushes on any of them . I want some more girl friends
Hello,
I discovered recently that I belong to the ENTP-Family and want to reflect on my past relationships from this perspective.
My past 3 girlfriends where more introverted, kind, soft, feeling types.
I assume I subconsciously chose them, because they accepted my as who I am and didn't annoy me, but later in the relationships I got more and more bored with them, but this is another story.
I felt, that due to my strong attitude, rational reasoning and liking of intense discussions my past girlfriends felt somehow restricted by my presence in some ways. Of course I was never a control freak and granted them every freedom I would have liked to enjoy as well, but I assume they did not do several things because the guessed a reaction/discussion from my side.
My conclusion is, that for future girlfriends I will look for more confident woman who don't feel judged easily and don't take debating personal.
Does this makes sense to you?
Is this typical ENTP behaviour?
Do you ever work so hard to figure out other people, like they’re MBTI type, and laugh when you nail it?
Fellow ENTPs, I would like to share my accomplishments. I have been pulled over 8 times, 3 of which have been for super speeding, and I have not once received a ticket. not EVER!
I try so hard to develop my inferior si and follow a healthy routine but i fail evereytime and go always to my ne and everytime i ask my self how can i be such a genius
I’m looking to get to know muslim ENTPs preferably women since I haven’t met any. 😬
Some people think I could be played with and try to blame me for something.
I tell them to stop that now and go their way.
Direct and don't care
How about you all entp family
I've grown up in an ENTP family and am an ENTP myself. My siblings and my parents are one of the most interesting people I have ever known. They have an endless amount of interesting stories to tell, they have an amazing insight into not only other people, but the world. They find a solution to every problem, they make no mistakes in life, they are very, very rational people, and endless desire to learn, understand. They love talking with other people with the goal of "stimulating" each other with knowledge.
As I grew up, I expected other people, especially of same age, to be like my family. But I never found someone like them who was that talkative, yet not superficial. Someone with whom you talk about everything, and by that I mean everything. From physics, to medicine, philosophy, Maths, weather, movies, controversies, actors, other people, the world, everything. What I find so unique about the conversations with my family is that it's an endless amount of knowledge exchange and kind of learning "together" about any topic by interaction. My father isn't a Mathematician, but we can talk about Maths, even difficult Maths because of a desire to understand. My brother isn't studying Medicine but has no problem talking about anatomy because of pure interest.
In life I mostly found 2 kinds of people: People who do interesting things, Computer Science, Physics, but don't talk about this, at all. They do it by themselves, alone, or only talk about this with a very, very small circle of people. I tried interacting with those people out of genuine desire in what they do, and because I liked those things they did, too. But they never opened up, not even about the things they liked going. I perceived them as the stereotypical introvert who likes to sit at home and study Maths all day.
On the other hand I encountered people who liked talking all day, but with no proper desire to understand, to learn from each other, which left me disappointed.
Eventually I went to uni and though: "Now, I am studying something hundreds of other people are studying, too. Surely, there has to be someone who likes talking about what they love doing all day?" I still had no success. It was only in group works when I realised how interesting people can be when they are forced to expose themselves. There was this person I worked together with who did the most interesting coding side projects in his free time, and I was so fascinated. How can someone keep something like this to themselves, when what they do is so amazing?
I think the problem I encountered in life is that 99% of people have a very, very specialized circle of people with they like interacting with, sharing stuff. They talk with person X only about A, with person Y about B, they share with each person something differently. And with me they share... nothing. I don't understand this "limiting" most people do. I can see one person talk about 5 different things with 5 different people, which always weirds me out. Like, are you one person? Or do you only pretend to be a persona for each person? I don't like pretending I am someone else when interacting with other people because if I had to, I would need a different persona for each person. I like *listening* to what the other person is talking about, whatever it is, and then engaging in that to create a conversation. But if the other person is talking about nothing, the conversation ends instantly because what on earth am I supposed to talk about? Now, here is the E part in me: I can talk about stuff. Obviously. But I see no point about talking about stuff when the other person isn't engaging in the conversation. At all. They don't even have to listen to what I say, they just have to talk about anything maybe related to what I said. Anything. Please. I'm not someone who likes to listen to themselves talk all day because "Oh I'm so great my stories are so interesting listen to me please". No. That's not what a conversation is, and I know this which is why I don't do this: Just talking about random things if the other person isn't interacting.
I like high energy, smart people, people who are extremely extroverted yet extremely mindful. People who like to understand, who like to learn with other people, together. People who aren't egoistical and only use other people, knowledge for themselves. That type of people seems to be very rare. Very, very rare. I never had fun interacting with INTPs because they talk about nothing. Nothing. I am too extroverted for them, yet I know they are the kind of people I find interesting. I don't find other Exxx interesting, except ENTP obviously, although I prefer talking with an Exxx 100 times over any kind of Ixxx because they actually *talk*. About anything. My god.
Now, I used to believe the problem is me. I went so far as going to therapy because I thought I am wrong. I even went to a psychiatrist and begged her to make me "normal". Autism or whatever. They told me: "I am a normal person, not autistic or anything. What is your problem?". I realised: It's not me who is wrong. In fact no one is wrong. I didn't found the right people in my life who are on the same wavelength as me, who are on the same wavelength as my family. And this is so frustrating. Are ENTPs this rare?
Do you know how it feels like when you seek out stimulation from interesting conversations, from other people who like to share about themselves, who like to talk about anything, yet I find none of those people? none? Where are all the ENTPs? Where? I don't get it.
Sup. I’m going to bed and want to wake up to something weird.
Sent me your most cursed memes

Whatever.

Personally, I find it amusing to see some people act smart and, you know, be the know-it-all. It's almost as if they're trying too hard to prove themselves. I've learned that sometimes, it's more beneficial to feign ignorance or naivety, just to see how others react or to avoid unnecessary conflict. 🏃
I find it really hard to be in the present moment as I’m always thinking about something. Because of this I can come off as introverted even though I’m actually quite extroverted and enjoy being around people. This is especially true in big groups, it’s very hard for me to constantly focus on what is going on (I can use my Fe pretty well, but only in small groups). This also causes me to be extremely clumsy, to the point where it can be a problem sometimes haha. I constantly drop stuff on the floor, break things, forget and misplace objects…
Not that I think it’s a very bad thing, being an over-thinker has served me well throughout my life, but I do wish I was able to enjoy the present a bit more sometimes. And I wish I’d stop forgetting my things everywhere, I’ve lost a lot of money from forgetting to pick up rings, jackets, scarves, and even handbags before leaving a public space. Not to mention keys, wallets…
For those that have been stuck in shadow for a Very long time, or shorter.. how did you act. I'm very confused about something involving an entj friend.. there are some things that don't add up, They themself are in shadow ..but I don't know if they're a Very structured, hardworking entp. Or a funny joking entj in shadow rn.
This is for personal research, (mainly to see whether I might be an ENTP). But I would really appreciate it if anyone could describe how Me works for them and possible scenarios where it is used. (Not the basic scenarios though, like brainstorming in a group. I see that one pop up too much)
Many thanks !
Recently, for the first time in my life, I went to take a test to get into a school (one of the best where I live) and I had never studied for these external tests before... on the one hand, I knew I needed to start studying and I did which I did, but maintaining a study routine is very frustrating, because it seems like you don't make any progress. Either way, there will still be content that you didn't manage to cover. And that, for me, is discouraging. Even if I had a spark of will triggered by my brain, I thought: “Ah, that’s it now… there’s not much I can do”
I took the test (to enter school) and didn't pass. Eventually, I applied to another school (a little lower) and, with the results today, I didn't pass either. Now there's just one last test left to be taken (second chance to get into the school I mentioned, the first test) and it will take place in January, on the 12th. I don't have much idea what to do because there's a while before I don't study... for a few weeks... and this last test has the same level of difficulty as the first. Lastly, it's not worth paying for the course I was taking (to prepare) to only use it for a few days, considering that it's relatively expensive... and all of this only contributes to me continuing to procrastinate, and I can't find any logical solution. to overcome the procrastination that my brain programs for me. How do you overcome procrastination?
I’ve realised that I smile to make others like me and like being around me even when I don’t want to be around them. It’s a subconscious move that I didn’t know I did. I just kept wondering why these people I don’t like kept on talking to me and coming up to me. It’s also caused people who act like they like me to start annoying me because they think I’ll let it slide just cause I smile a lot. Now I’ve realised that I should learn to smile only when I’m actually happy or when I actually find something funny. So I was wondering has this happened to you guys before and if yes what was the way you overcame it?
When I was like 16-18, I was such an active social chameleon, group therapist, had friends pretty much everywhere. But now at 21, I don’t really care to go out of my way to socialise with people and wouldn’t say I have too many friends. And it doesn’t really bother me much but at the same time, I know I want to be surrounded by people? I’m so confused by myself. Like is this relatable to anyone else. And like, how can I make my social life exist again?
I have a love hate relationship with all the ENTJs in my life. How can I make our interactions less volatile?
Waiting to share your happiest moment.
Like here’s a scenario (trash scenario)
Imagine you have a friend that is called Taylor. They have been showing romantic interest towards you very obviously. Due to that, you notice some bits of the romantic interest However, you see it as a platonic way since you couldn’t tell if it was romantic. A few weeks later, they confess to you and do some speech. As soon as they do, you release the amount of hints they been hinting they been liking you and how you didn’t notice any of the details.
I DONT KNOW HOW TO LIKE EXPLAIN BUT THIS IS THE BEST I CAN DO
hi, hope this is a safe space, took some tests from a couple years ago and i found out i was entp.
but do you ever get that feeling that you're just, too different from other people? (granted im an immigrant so obviously my culture is so much more different from the country i live in)
like, you dont think in the same way others do? appreciate things others dont? find meaning in things that are just nonsensical drabble for others?
i might be having some form of seasonal depression or some sht akin to it, but i've been having such a hard time connecting and bonding with others, in that "getting that spark" type way, like something just isn't there in the friendship?
i'm just so done with feeling so alone but i fucking RELISH in the uniqueness of my own being, the different ways i think, perceive and act are of my own character, unique only to me, but its leading me to a feeling of being further and further and further away from people
waiting to share your happy moment with all entps.
I know as an entp 8w7 I clearly have my bias but when I look at the problem solving capacity and resilience and adaptability of the normal people around me I just don’t think that it wouldn’t all collapse without us here. And it would probably collapse if it was just us as well but it would make one cool treehouse adventure land when it imploded
I am typed by everyone I come across as an ENTP. But sometimes I think my behavioural patterns are more like ISTP or ENFP. Just wanted to ask if anyone has experienced this before.
Personally, I tell the person I need time away from them to cool my head, or I'm going to say things I don't mean.
What would you do? Would you say things in the spur of the moment?
And based on your experience, would you prefer to have a romantic relationship with an infj, intp or intj? Why would you choose them and only them?
Need a serrver without snowflakes and can handle criticism and strong opinions. Seems like the entirety of reddit and disco. rd is filled with easily offended bunch of snowflakes. Everybody has to tiptoe and adjust according to this lunatic fckg fragile snowflakes emotions and ego.
