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.

NTs: I'm having feelings again. Like some kind of fourteen year old kid. You remember feelings, right?
Person: Yeah, I have feelings every single day of my life.
NTs: Do you?
Person: Are you saying you don’t have feelings?
MY LIFE
Just read a few blog titles and watched half a youtube video and now I’m an expert on this subject nbd
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.

ENTPs are great masters of tricks and deceits, often more than ESTPs, and what’s more they do it in a very skilful manner. ENTPs are masters of arrangement and sharp psychoanalysts, able to foresee exactly how others can react to a situation. They can turn the whole world against you, if you are not careful. ENTPs also have the unique ability to make a deal with their conscience. They can successfully justify almost any wrong doing, thus ensuring that they will sleep well at night.
