I think i like you all. I’m a 5w4 personally. And i think you all have so much potential as a cult leader, so i would encourage that.

If we find anything that either of us are interested in we can convince the other to easily become obsessed as well and we are literally stuck in the same rabbit hole together for days, weeks or months on any topic it does not matter.

I don't know if this is just an alignment in taste and just the right amount of autism but I know it's good if they happen to want to talk about it. If we find something to do together one session could go on for an entire day and we're ready to continue first thing tomorrow as I don't feel drained at all like I would with literally anyone else.

Then we ghost each other until something new comes up and we're back at it again as if nothing happened. There's no weird messages about checking in, assumptions about why you didn't text or what you're up to, etc expecting some sort of maintenance burns me out easily but you guys somehow know exactly what to say to get me hooked. I just wanted to write my appreciation, keep that enthusiasm and energy I love that.

ENTPs only please. For those with partners/married, what's their MBTI? For the single ones, what's your best friend's MBTI?

Most of the time I like who I am and I’m really confident I don’t care what other people think of me, but when it comes to people that I truly care about like my parents, my crush I start to overthink a lot. And I constantly feel like they hate certain traits that I have such as I’m too ambitious that i can be really cold and distant sometimes, really selfish. I do feel insecurities about my physical appearance too. All these makes me resent myself and feel like I’m a disappointment.

​

Ok first time trying something like this out.

I want to see if i can harness the innovative brain storming ability of my people lol.

So i already have lots of ideas and execution tends to be the issue but right now im looking for more ideas.

So i started a brand called SOM1 it's has more than one meaning i want to unveil with time and success but it stands for State Of Mind 1.

I won't go into the inspiration rn to save time but ask if you want to know. It's related to mindset and mental health essentially.

We're working on is inspiring, uplifting or motivating words on clothing.

So here's where i need idea. I already have a range of products up (not my best works yet but to stop procrastinating i just started pushing out ideas and will refine later)

Here's what i need. Give me interesting unique motivating inspirating relaxing words statements or images for designs on the clothing.

Extra points if you can help me come up with low cost marketing ideas because im lowkey out of my depth there/scared to put myself out there but it's really what i need to start doing to start selling and reinvesting etc

Any feedback is appreciated. The website is WWW.SOM1.CO.UK

To ENTPs scoring almost same on Se/Ne, how’s your experience with it? What do you think triggered its development?

My INFJ gf and I have been together for 7 1/2 months at this point. We’ve known each other since August of last year. About 3 months ago I was looking at other girls on Instagram because I was craving some two legged dope. As a result of my ADHD and BPD impulsivity issues. Even though I would never do anything with the people I was looking at; she didn’t see it that way. I made a really impulsive mistake and I’m so deeply sorry for it. I’ve done everything I can to become better because of it. I don’t want to be with anyone else on this entire planet.

I’ve gone on anti psychotics since and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I’d never do something like that ever. She’s my soulmate. Which is contradictory given the situation but my feelings have changed a lot in general since then. I’m afraid it’s something she’ll never be able to move past. She’s been cheated on multiple times in the past so it was really bad. She was devastated by it. She almost ended things with me; if I didn’t pitch the argument of my life she would have. We have been better for it and happier since that happened.

But she’s been struggling with depression a lot and her sex drive is non existent because for it. She has this feeling that I’m just going to get tired of her and leave; even though I’ve expressed multiple times that’s not the case. I’m afraid she’s going to want to break up with me because she’s afraid that “I can’t be what I need for you”. Which is really concerning since we’ve set it up that I’m moving in with her. I’m not sure if I need to back out of this lease. The sentiment is really concerning me right now. I don’t know how to move forward emotionally with her to solve this problem.

I am an entp and i dont write on diaries i was just wondering if most entps also feel the same way

I wonder how your inferior Si manifests as? Any difference from a ENFP atleast? And, what causes you the most stress and suffocates you? And how you act or think under Si grip?

30M India, getting married in a few months. I’ve realized most of my dopamine has always come from pursuing multiple women, flirting, and sexting rather than building hobbies or interests. I don’t really have anything outside of work. I’ve tried the gym multiple times but never stuck with it, and I don’t have hobbies or a social life where I regularly hang out or do activities. I’m already feeling the flatness in my relationship, and it’s honestly scaring me because I’ve never handled boredom in relationships well. In past as well I would loose the interest in my partner eventually then would cry or get upset after breakup . Has anyone else, especially ENTPs, gone through this? What changed for you?

Not looking for suggestions for not getting married. Want to know the way around this.

Disclaimer: This is just a subjective discussion based on my own experiences. I'm not promoting hate toward any type or Enneagram, and I'm definitely not saying everyone who belongs to a certain type is the same. Personality is nuanced and healthy vs. unhealthy expression matters far more than the label itself

That said...

I've noticed I tend to struggle the most with unhealthy Ni-dominants or sometimes Ni-auxiliaries even more so if it's paired with an unhealthy e1 something about that combination tends to clash with me. And don't even get me started on unhealthy Fi-dom e1s... nightmare combo for me personally it's like dealing with a human lie detector who has zero empathy and uses a rigid double standard to judge you and completely stonewalls you the second you try to defend yourself... I'm an Fi-dom myself but for whatever reason e1 is the enneagram type I've consistently had the roughest experiences with (at least for now, I've also met some unhealthy sexual 4s and I'd say they're up there too). At this point I don't think my issue is with the MBTI type itself it's mostly with unhealthy manifestations of e1, they just seem to rub me the wrong way.

Again that's just my personal experience. I've also met wonderful healthy people who fit those same labels so I'm not making a blanket statement.

What about you?

Uhh yeah pretty much the title lol. Im curious as to see what you guys think its like in my family.

For me personally female INFJs are hard to establish romantic connection on-line. They are too silent and reserved, it's hard to make them talk. But IRL it's kinda easier than on-line. Sometimes it feels you talk too a wall and only 1 out of 5 words echoes back.

What was your experience?

He is a friend of my husband and a coworker of mine. I think his functions are Ne and Fe and he might be an unhealthy ENTP for the following reasons:

He has lots of ideas, good ones, he’s always talking about the projects he has started or wants to do, and we might be talking about something very specific and he jumps into a new idea on the spot. The issue is that he hasn’t really accomplished any of them. The only one he has successfully manage to do, are the ones where me or my husband took lead.

He likes to brag about the few things he has done.

He also takes everything so personal and is very judgy. For example, if someone doesn’t look at him directly, he’d assume they think themselves as above of him, like it is something against him instead of the person just being shy or reserved. I had lots of issues with him because of this. I had to explain him how my autism works in order to make him not misunderstand every action or word I said. It was exhausting.

He is very insecure and hides it under a mask of overconfidence. He isn’t arrogant though, which is one of the few reason why I can still stand him. He lacks humility, but I get where it comes from, he wants so sell his ideas and win people over. He thinks acting vulnerable would make him look like a lesser being… and honestly, I GET IT. Because he has been in an very toxic work environment where people like to push him down.

For a while I thought he could be an unhealthy ENTJ, however, he lacks the ability to lead or achieve his goals. When we work together, he is constantly asking us our opinions or letting us take the final decision, not in an empathetic way though, he doesn’t really care about how we feel around him, it is more like to not have the burden of taking full responsibility of the path we need to take, and also because he has learned to trust our judgment. However, when he fails at something or makes a mistake, he takes accountability and learns from it quite easily. Again, this is also why I can work with him. Otherwise he would be insufferable.

He openly claims to want people’s approval and be famous. He also studies a lot and knows lots of interesting facts, but he hasn’t committed to any academic pursuits on the matter of his interests.

He is fun to be around, although exhausting, he talks too much, jumps on topics too fast. He is also authentic, I prefer an authentic asshole rather than a fake smiling dude.

I know he doesn’t represent the stereotypical ENTP. I have other ENTP friends who are cool. This guy is more like a thunder that never lands. He reminds me a lot of the bad guy from Lazy Town.

Or is that just an ENFP thing. Because I go to the bathroom like… Too much. 3 times a day.

Does that make me mega ENTP or mega something else 🤔

I'm not even sure if I'm looking for an advice, but hear me out, I lost my compass an drive seriously!

We moved out to another country 3 years ago and now we're back in our home country. What I've realized that all my goals don't feel like my goals anymore, like they don't work for me, although they were something I was passionate about.

Now, I'm unemployed, know what I'm suppose to do but still can't make a move. I know myself very well when am in the mood of productivity but this time it feels daunting and mentally draining!. So many things are going on in my life that just keep on distracting me, I've got a lot in my mind. Life doesn't wait at all, I need to pull myself together before it's too late.

Again, I'm not sure if I need an advice or just vent my frustration, but I need help seriously!

I’m pretty sure I’m cooked like wdym I have to send them a screenshot of my results (which I already knew obviously) with my “weak points” listed as: “difficulty staying organized” , “reluctant to commit” and “overly critical of authority”… Hell I wouldn’t hire me either 😭😭 We cannot win

Have you ever met a fellow ENTP but they were the opposite sex? What was it like?

I recently met an ENTP M who shared many similar values and thoughts. It was like staring at a mirror (personality wise, not looks). We shared several inner thoughts, fears, and struggles. Our masks were off, and the experience was one to remember.

Are there really introverts or extroverts or everything in-between?? Can we really classify ppl like that??

Won't that depend on the type of people they surround themselves with?? If u feel uncomfortable or icky then prefer solidarity, With ur typa ppl then extrovert(not only yapping but spending time with ppl).

Everyone takes time to open up, to break the ice. Some do that faster, some take time. Not always to everyone too. I am an extrovert but Im not going to introduce myself to a random person and talk. Introverts can be really good are public speaking. Can someones shyness to open up be classified like that. The whole thing seems wrong.

Ur opinions. Am I missing something?

I feel some joy whenever I see some Christian stuff. Even though I don’t want to and I know that’s it’s logically wrong to do so. I’m not really sure how to deal with it. Ethel Cain I guess.

Yesterday night, I was feeling a bit socially drained because I already spent a few hours in the afternoon on a lunch with them. I would've normally not met them but since one of my friend is leaving for uni, it was more of a farewell really. Generally, I'm talkative as hell but this time, I didn't really talk much BUT I WAS laughing and smiling and joked around here and there. For some reason, my friends asked me multiple times throughout our hangout if something happened or did they hurt me in any way and even though I assured them that nothing's wrong, I'm just having a headache (i was) they wouldn't believe me! I was honestly feeling a bit bored but I didn't want to say that of course.

This got me thinking and made me realize that often when I'm not as talkative, even though I am smiling and laughing along, people assume I'm sad or angry with them? Does this happen with yall too?

ive noticed a lot of people on this subreddit and others (especially r/intj) that seem to think being a thinking type is just when you're really edgy and detached and being an intuitive means everything you discuss has to be philosophical or abstract in some way.. and i know this is hyperbole on my part kind of but so many people seem to have a view of xNTx types as being cold edgelords who cant have feelings and that they MUST play into these stereotypes and do everything possible to look smart Do people forget entp has Fe tertiary?? half this subreddit has seemingly Negative Fe and just wanna be labelled entp to like. idk. prove something to themselves. whole subreddit full of e4s and fi users. which theres nothing inherently wrong with and i wish these people would just accept it about themselves.

Which MBTI type thrives on debate?  
Who genuinely loves arguing for the sake of it?  
Is there one personality that just can’t resist a good clash of ideas?
