“Imaginary evil is romantic and varied; real evil is gloomy, monotonous, barren, boring. Imaginary good is boring; real good is always new, marvelous, intoxicating.”
— Simone Weil
My waking and sleeping seem mixed together. I’m walking in a dream half the time, and sleeping through reality the other half.

SO-blind pros and cons:
pros
- quality interactions are the norm
- healthier approach to relationships, being alone is always better than being with people who aren’t good for us
- generally loyal, genuine, and altruistic in our relationships
- less bullshit, people usually know where they stand with us
- less affected by others’ opinions, confidence is internally generated
- less superficial/materialistic, it’s about the way things are rather than how they look
- more critical of societal norms and unwilling to play along with stupid or toxic practices
- prioritize health, safety, and meaningful relationships above reputation
- actually mind our own damn business
cons
- sometimes too rigorous about our “screening” for friends/cutting people off because they don’t meet the bar we’ve set
- constantly feeling like a misfit/outcast
- actually might be an outcast. at least we seem to constantly leave behind groups and situations because we inevitably reach the disillusionment stage
- hard to impress
- can be cold, hurtful, bad at validating people and insensitive of others’ feelings unless they’re somehow important to us (read: meet our nearly impossible standards)
- overly rebellious or non-compliant, needlessly critical of society and rules
- may talk to people but have no intention of bonding, which confuses people when they realize the SO-blind in question never considered them a friend
- do not understand why people care if we wear pajamas in public (I think this is a con because I actually don’t get why it matters?)
- *forcibly self-isolates* *doesn’t talk to people* *is constantly rude and blunt* “why am I alone”
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
You know you’re an ENTP when life is just one existential crisis after another for you.
Don’t become who hurt you.
Unknown (via wordsnquotes)
The ENTP awkward phase is a time, normally in the teen years, where the naturally goofy and loveable ENTP, represses themselves in order to fit in.
The problem with this is that ENTPs are well… naturally unique. Not everyone is like them which is why they’re one of the rarer personalities. Yet they want to fit in somewhat and to do this, they start repressing their naturally unique personality. It could be their weirdness, their loudness, their talkative nature, their annoyingness or anything really. But repressing it feels awful and it can lead the ENTP to feeling really upset.
When in this phase, ENTPs may fit in, but can still come across as rather introverted or just awkward. Yet this frustrates the ENTP because they know that that isn’t themselves at their best, and it feels like barely anyone knows what they’re actually like.
It can be hard to break out of this phase and be your happy ENTP self again, but the key is to not care about others. Their expectations shouldn’t be stopping you from being yourself. It doesn’t matter if they think you’re kind or not, what matters is your happiness and if being yourself upsets them, then that’s too bad.
As an ENTP, your charm comes from your weird and loveable personality and by repressing it, you’re no longer special.
Once you can accept your personality you won’t be acting or repressing yourself. Instead you’ll enjoy being yourself and find that everyone else is naturally drawn to you when you can do that sincerely.
My family has shown me everything that I want my own little family to not be like.
yep pretty much
You’re all going to kill me but I don’t specially like summer. Let me explain. I like not having to study, good weather and being able to do whatever I want. But if I stay in my city I get extremely bored. I need to be continuously doing new things, talking to different people, I need excitement. I don’t even like going out with my friends because it’s all the time the same thing. I mean, I love them but I’d like to meet new people or at least have different plans with the ones I know instead of just hanging out in the street. I feel like this city suffocates me, it’s too small, I feel trapped. I kinda prefer when I have class because I have more things to do and I get distracted. It’s okay to have free time but too much is really tiring if you don’t know to spend it.
