Things the Types Need to Hear

ESFP: Look, I get it, you leave people in the dust because you know how crazy and all over the place your life can be and you’re also crazy scared to let somebody in just to have it end up with you accidentally leaving them and both of you getting hurt, but emotional intimacy and real depth in friendships are 100% worth it in the end and it’s the struggle and fight of a lifetime to keep them in your life, but it’s also the greatest gift and you can’t keep denying yourself that intimacy and friendship. 

ISFP: I know you have a lot of great desires and wonderful dreams and they might seem too far off and too crazy and too beautiful to come true, but you have them for a reason, and you gotta stop paralyzing yourself with fear and take that first step and throw yourself into the unknown, and that’s the scariest part, I know, but we both know you’re braver than you look, and that your passion can make it happen. 

ENFP: I know that the moment you hit an obstacle or two when you first start working towards that far off dream, it’s scary and it makes you want to crumble and run away to a new thing like you think you always do, but don’t! You’re miles more tenacious and capable than you give yourself credit for and you’ve got to discipline yourself and trust that your talents and optimism can and will propel you through whatever is keeping you from your goals. 

INFP: I know it’s hard to feel understood and it’s easy to let yourself become bitter by the ways of the world or whatever’s happening, but closing yourself off to others isn’t going to save you the pain. You have a natural capacity to understand others that’s hard for the other types to grasp and when you stop yourself from using that talent, or use it for selfish reasons, you’re doing yourself a massive injustice. 

ESTP: Listen, I totally get that the world is full of fun and interesting things and you want to experience them all, but you’ve got to remember that for a lot of the people that come along with you, they’re there to experience YOU as much as they’re there for the thing itself. Don’t let yourself forget that half the fun of anything is who you’re doing it with. 

ISTP: I know you generally don’t mean to yell or be rude when your irritated and that it’s really just a passing thing and you don’t generally care all that much, but just apologize to people after you’ve calmed down! Explain it to them and that you don’t mean it! Admit to yourself that you care enough about them to try to make amends, even when you’re just being a little crotchety; it means a lot to the feelers lol. 

ENTP: You’re a genuinely fun person to be around and you usually rack up a reputation for that, but just because you’re funny and witty and damn smart doesn’t mean you don’t have feelings and problems that need to be externalized, and trust me, the right people will be more than willing to talk about what’s really happening in your life one minute and go back to elaborate jokes the next without a problem. Don’t stunt your emotional growth for the sake of brevity. 

INTP: It’s okay to not know what to do in an emotional situation. Like, it’s genuinely okay. If somebody’s opening up to you, half the time your presence and you listening is 95% of what they need in that moment. Don’t avoid the situations just because it causes writer’s block emotionally. Emotional availability comes with experience. You’ll learn. Just, be your goofy self and the rest will come with time. 

ENFJ: You’ve got to realize that although holding yourself to such a high standard is noble and praiseworthy, that it sometimes eclipses your ability to be a good friend when that was the goal in the first place. You’re human and can’t do everything for your friends that you’d want to be able to do when they need help, and profusely apologizing and beating yourself up for it just shifts the focus off of helping your friend and turns it to you. Accept your humanity, and just do what you can. They appreciate the help, I promise. 

INFJ: I know you have a tendency to feel misunderstood and want people to show you that they love you and care about you, but you don’t get to say you’re fine AND disappear on people. Either say you’re not okay and pull back, or say you’re okay and stick around long enough for somebody to see through the BS. In my experience, y'all have a habit of making things a self-fulfilling prophecy, and that doesn’t do you any good! Be forward, be honest, and just be vulnerable; they care more than you convince yourself they do. 

ESFJ: I need to be straight with y'all. Learn how to talk about something other than your 4-5 current fixations. In my experience, N’s have a crazy hard time being close with you because you keep bringing the topic back to one of your current Favorite Things™, whether it be the semester abroad you just got back from or the first date that’s scheduled for two weeks from now. Expand your area of interest and you’ll find people will be much more authentic with you. 

ISFJ: You have this really amazing ability to notice the small things about people and that helps you show them you care about them in these really great and meaningful ways, but you can’t let yourself overthink the small things you notice about people. One of my good ISFJ friends started poking around trying to see if alcoholism ran in my family after noticing I’d been drinking wine a lot recently. You might have an intention to help, but overthinking/overanalyzing like that and trying to involve yourself in helping can hurt your friendships. 

ESTJ: Your presence is powerful and intense and that’s great at times, but you’ve got to let out your goofy fun side more, and hoe we’ve all seen it before, you’re a damn riot after a beer or two. People, in general, care more about fun than having every plan go right during the night/event. Be willing to be fun more, you’re so good at it. 

ISTJ: I know you get frustrated with yourself because you want to do new things and get out there and be a fun person, but the thing is, you’re so much better at being a responsible, caring person. Befriend the chaotic, crazy, lovable rascals and let them bring the fun to you (or more often than not, drag you kicking and screaming to where the fun is). 

ENTJ: Look, I’m an INTJ, so I know how hard this is to swallow, but showing you care about a person sometimes isn’t so much giving them solutions to their problems or trying to correct an issue; a lot of the other types literally just want you to listen and hear them out. And you gotta do that sometimes, babe. And shut your damn mouth while they’re telling you everything, okay? Just. Let them finish. 

INTJ: For the love of all that is holy, just cry already. Cry alone if you have to, or better yet, just go to the person you’d literally murder a thousand people for and freakin’ cry about all the crap you’ve been bottling up for the past two months and accept that you can have razor-sharp rationale and be a damn human at the same time. And just admit that you’re insecure about your relationship with that person because you care about them so much and you’re not the best at trusting people.

Musings of an ENTP ( how insightful! ) YOU KNOW YOU'RE ENTP WHEN:

You know you’re ENTP when (compilation through the years ):

Exploiting loopholes and thinking outside the box are your specialty

At least once or twice in your childhood, you had an attempt in sports because you think you’re extreeeeeme and got sent to the hospital for it. “I don’t think I’m going to be athlete when I grow up.” 10 year old you said to yourself.

You argue for the sake of arguing.

You question everything.

Verbal-sparring and debates interests you. Funny thing is, during a debate, you’re quite aware your opponent is right but you still defend your wrong answer for the sake of it. In the end, you still win and its hilarious.

Your anecdotes have a few details exaggerated and are usually self-aggrandizing to emphasize on how awesome you are. True story.

No mess, no progress has to be one of your life codes.

You struggle picking an ice cream flavor and ask if you could taste each of the ice cream flavors your friends ordered to get clarity.

Others think you’re stalling whenever you banter and quip witty remarks before doing an extremely difficult task. In truth, you’re formulating and orchestrating your grand scheme in your head without looking like it. Strangers find you charming and adorkable af but your closest friends think you’re evil and still love you anyway. Even though your feats aren’t of malicious intent but merely for the lolz and giggles.

Somebody states “It can’t be done!” and on impulse, you go “Challenge Accepted!” despite being well aware of the imminent danger.

Your habit of procrastination worsens through the years. And yet, you always get away with it at the last minute. Good for you, you clever brilliant thing.

Conversations with you often involve hovering from one topic to another at breakneck speed.

You can’t engage in a normal humanly conversation without provoking someone and starting an argument. But NOT all the time, geez

You’re labeled to be awkward, confident, awesome witty and dorky depending on the audience, sometimes, all at the at same time.

On the first day of grade school, the teacher asks the students to give one adjective to describe them. All the other kids say shit like “Kind, funny, smart, pretty.” but you ended up saying “Impeccable, legendary, bombastic, gangsta, thug-life. ”

Giving respective names to inanimate objects is normal to you

All the cats on your street have their own respective names and complicated backstories. Someday, you think the cats will accept you as one of their own.

You indulge in watching other people’s reactions, especially when they freak out after you troll them.

You wonder what happens when you mix this with that.

You muse about what’s gonna happen if you do this and even if everyone told you not to. But you do it anyway.

You’re the smartest, most stimulating and most intriguing person in the room. Well, you think are.

You’re overly self-critical, narcissistic and egotistical all at the same time.

People say you have an over-inflated ego that can be sensed a few feet away.

You don’t even know whats normal or mundane anymore. Or maybe you do, you simply just have a different definition for what’s mundane and normal.

You have a long list of friends and acquiantances yet you feel lonely and misunderstood, wishing people truly knew you better. *starts brooding in bedroom only to wake up in your usually hyperactive awesome self as if brooding never happened*

You love asking the opinion and criticism of others. You ask your ISTP best friend for criticism on your latest creation, and your ISTP buddy points out every flaw, while being brutally honest about it. Instead of being offended, you exclaim “Now, I know whats wrong! Why haven’t I seen that before?! ”

You’re gifted with speech, eloquent enough to convince any crowd , regardless of what you said is false or not. Yet you end up rambling on and on just to get the gist of what the fuck you’re trying to point out.

There are scenarios when you’re smooth af at flirting, intentional or not, but when it comes to your crush or actual feelings for someone, you’re a mumbling idiot whose words don’t match up their feelings.

Either you’re a complete asshole or the friendliest most empathetic person in the room, depends on the mood. 

People say you have an extremely high IQ but have the mental age of five. To be honest, you never really acted your age all your life. Its just either you’re too wise beyond your years or just really really immature.

You’re talented at making dumb things sound smart, like the Sophists of ancient times.

The musical library in your MP3 player ranges from bubblegum pop to heavy metal to classical music to gangsta rap music to musicals and Movie OSTs to mountain meditation music.

Your reaction to love is: WTF is love?

You want people to know you but you keep your distance, resulting you into being misunderstood. Huhuhu nobody understands me!!

You’re stuck in an internal debate with youself on whether you’re really an ENTP or not right after taking the Myer Briggs test. You even went as far as taking other Myer Briggs tests.

An ENTP's Late Night Thoughts

Existential crisis, self-discovery, whatever you wanna call it, here’s my thing:

ENTPs are like motivated hippies. We wanna go with the flow–with every single thing–but at the same time we want to try NEW things everyday and all the time, so we PUSH ourselves to do those things. We break rules, break records, blow minds…we have to always be doing and thinking up something new.

ENTPs don’t have Fi, but our suuuuperbly HIDDEN values mean the world to us. We may not give a damn about a single thing on this planet but oNE and that ONE THING can destroy us SOOO easily. For some of us its religion, for some it’s a lover, for some it’s self-image/ego…whatever it is, it keeps us secretly grounded amidst our ever-changing persona. Without it, we are no one (because we try to be everything.)

ENTPs, although it’s antithetical, feel insecure about how other people see them. It’s tertiary Fe. You’ll hear us say things like, “I don’t care what they think! F*ck them!” But deep, deep down, it’s a lie. You have to think of it like this: truly smart people don’t have to say they’re smart, truly gifted people don’t have to say they’re gifted; SO people who truly aren’t worried about what people think of them don’t say they’re not worried about what people think of them.

And this leads me to… ENTPs are actually pretty antithetical people overall. I mean, other types say they’re living contradictions, but we really ARE. While we parade around saying we live in the moment, bad hair don’t care, say we’re smart and we know it…simultaneously we have well-thought out futures, we do care what you think of us (as aforementioned), and we struggle to be seen as smart by everyone since we, like INTPs, DO second guess ourselves a lot. We just don’t show it, and that in itself creates the contradiction. We ARE the ultimate devil’s advocate for this reason.

All in all: ENTPs live through the “masks” that we wear to the world, except the “masks” are hardly masks at all; each one is a part of our identity. Whoever we decide to be today is a part of who we are and a part of our growth as a human being, because seeing the world through different perspectives is a GREAT learning process.

And all that is what you have to deal with when you’re close to an ENTP, or are one for that matter.

We mistakenly assume people who choose to live alone are lonely when actually they have rich lives that are calm, reflective and productive. Connecting with someone for whom you have no feelings just for the sake of not being alone is more lonely than being by yourself.

Why do we love the people that rejects us and reject the people that loves us?
