I Wish It Were Possible To Skip The Beginning Stages Of Friendship And Just Become Best Friends Immediately.

Me, sipping a lemonade and watching my life go to shit: hoo boy I'm gonna have to deal with that some day

- 8w9s are take a more diplomatic “take you under my wing” approach to control. they are more likely to want to control their intimates on an interpersonal level and are more into maintaining than pushing outward. despite their more gentle demeanor (externally at least) the 8w9 is often more intrusive than the 8w7 in this way and is intent on keeping his post as the head of whichever organization/group he is overseeing. - 8w7s on the other hand are more openly aggressive, but they are less into/don’t really care about interpersonal control. if the 8w9 is the Patriarch maintaining his realm, the 8w7 is the conqueror, expanding outward and trying to grow his territory. as such, the interpersonal control of the 8w7 is more limited to “you there! do this for me!” after which point they really won’t think of you because their desire for power is turned more towards tangible ambition, such as financial success, personal/career goals, skills acquisition or resource acquisition. - 7w8 is the bad boy of the enneagram. the 8 wing gives them a more visceral feel, more drive, more focus, and more ability to stomach the unpleasant aspects of pursuing their goals. 7w8s are impulsive, action oriented people and are usually more thrill seeking and competitive than their 7w6 cousins. 7w8s like to play rough and often enjoy pranks or practical jokes that cause the “victim” a little bit of pain. overall, the 7w8 has an energy like a race car, zooming toward the object of it’s desire. Examples: Jack Nicholson, Joan Rivers, Steve Jobs, Scarlett O'Hara 7w6: for comparison, 7w6 is typically more imaginative, fantastical and has an energy more like a fox (7w8 typically comes off more like a wolf, hyena or chimpanzee). they typically have a slightly nervous energy about them and a more childlike charm to their personalities. being 7s, they are still core assertive types (3, 7 and 8), but the 6 wing softens 7’s narcissistic tendencies (in contrast to the 8 wing, which magnifies them), adds a touch of caution and often results in a stronger tendency to second guess oneself. 

You know you're an NTP when #117

it’s Friday night and you’re on the Internet.

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

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.

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say the only types that deserve type aesthetics are sensors and some ENxJs because most intuitives are fucking messes and only have some kind of “aesthetic” by virtue of being obsessed with one kind of thing 

INTJ; ENTJ; ENTP; INTP: But I was trying to be nice!

INFJ; ENFJ; ENFP; INFP: Breaking news: you failed. Try harder. 

i deal with my personal problems the same way i study for tests

i don’t
