The real glo up is when you stop waiting to turn into some perfect hypothetical version of yourself and consciously enjoy being who you are in the present moment.
Craving passion and yet terrified of commitment.

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.
you’re not afraid to walk in on any situation because you know you can bullshit your way out of anything.
You find so many flaws in even your closest friends that people are often surprised that you actually like them. When, indeed, the fact that you’re so critical of everything and everybody (including yourself) doesn’t affect your overall impression of a person

Here are some theory-grounded descriptions of So-blindness that we relate to:
“ Soc blind spot
It’s hard to concern self with another’s agenda. Don’t want to deal with ‘their stuff’
Dismissive
Cynicism around idealism—connecting socially will cost me something. Interactions are draining
Fear of being emotionally crippled
Can’t connect with people
You’re ‘broken’
A self-knowledge of being ungracious
It’s hard to take in the gifts and generosity of others
One doesn’t let oneself try to interact or find out
Projected fear - if I ignore others, they will ignore me
There’s an expectation of humiliation
A desire not to impose self on people in fear of not being wanted, or being klutzy
And you can’t repair the social blind spot in isolation. You need others. Ask for help ”
“ So blind spot
Neglect of social groups, detrimental withdrawing tendency or socially antagonistic streak, overemphasis on self or a partnership, lack or altruism, overindulgence, preference of a private setting, pessimism
Self-importance
Obsession/addiction, impoliteness, unrealistic views, misanthropy (!)
Snarky, desperate lone wolf. (You and) me against the world
Hatred for social gatherings
Rejecting everyone but expecting help/ pitying oneself when all hell breaks loose
Clingy
Assuming everyone´s out there to get them
Isolating self-image from societal context
Too rebellious for their own good ”
“ More on SO blind spot
When the social instinct is least developed, the individual [finds] it difficult to see why it is important to form social connections or to cultivate multiple relationships
This [leads to] a certain amount of social isolation
And, as we all must find a niche in the larger whole, those whose social instinct is least developed, can find it difficult to negotiate the needs of the social realm which make this possible
[They] find interdependence difficult and dependence on others barely tolerable
But all human beings are interdependent, and sometimes, dependent [for instance when they are] young, weak, sick, old, or dying
Those whose social instinct remains undeveloped are trying to attain a type of independence and self-sufficiency which is not possible for human beings
This ‘false independence’ almost certainly leads to unnecessary suffering and impoverishment of experience ”
From these three descriptions it can be seen that the most negative aspects of So-blindness is not necessarily how one comes off to others (as in rudeness or creating an anti-social image, though that may be a by-product), but rather the problem that is created for the so-blind themselves when they over-isolate and try to be impossibly independent. These are key qualities of So-blindness, the rest is up to how the individual manages those qualities.
