ENTP AF #19

So apparently I’m really, REALLY bad at reading ENFPs…

I’ll chime in re: ppl mistyping as so blind recently

Are you ready for some grade a 8 core 4 fix so blind edge? Here we go.

I get it, I really do. On the internet, when we aren’t being cringey Reddit anime-villain-monologuong types, we ALMOST appear cool. Right? Not caring about followers, not caring about pissing people off, valuing the truth and saying the truth over being well liked or being comforting or being professional (wtf is being professional on the internet anyway… you know the types of people in this community I’m talking about)

But please remember that being so blind is actually extremely negative. It leads us to being really edgy irl too. It leads us to pointlessly driving people away; writing people off just because we “didn’t click”; disappearing without a trace; anime-villain-monolguing irl; did I mention being really fucking edgy; purposely starting problems; being “that guy” at parties whether it’s the person making negative comments unnecessarily, the person starting an argument with everyone, the person that leaves early and upset the person who threw the party… the list goes on.

it leads to being hated.

It leads to less employment opportunity because we hate networking regardless of our skill at it. It leads to being a social outcast. It leads to forming bad, codependent relationships or abusive ones because the people you “clicked with” were horrible but the chemistry was just too good to pass up when you go through life hating everyone and everything. It’s constant negativity (at least to people with so).

And most people aren’t comfortable with being hated and being an outcast. And that’s a good thing, because while so blinds are needed in a lot of areas requiring impartiality, being “ok” with being disliked, and cloistering oneself off from society (academia, the government, etc) most jobs, most opportunities, most LIVES do not revolve around that.

Take that attitude you see from us online and begin to apply it to irl circumstances. Think about how many people we drive away. Think about all the opportunities we miss, usually on purpose. Think about the generally rather crushing sense of loneliness any social variant might feel in our circumstances.

This isn’t something to pretend to be or to aspire to be. This is a special kind of personal hell– one that so blinds don’t mind, or even LIKE, but hell all the same.

There are prices to be paid for being so blind constantly, for saying what people don’t want to hear, for challenging convention or simply just not going along with it… why would you want that when it doesn’t have to be that way for you?

So blinds are, yeah, that istp antivillain in the trenchcoat sitting in the corner at a party reading philosophy. Or your really cool eccentric professor that wears weird ties and likes his job way too much. But so blinds are also the type to become terrorists, school shooters, and cult leaders.

Don’t just look at the positives. Realize that each positive of every blindspot comes with many negatives, so blind included.

good news!!! ive successfully replaced all of my emotions with jokes

My waking and sleeping seem mixed together. I’m walking in a dream half the time, and sleeping through reality the other half.

Person: Yeah, I have feelings every single day of my life.
