TBH ENTP #118

Just read a few blog titles and watched half a youtube video and now I’m an expert on this subject nbd

Enneagram eyes

I’ve seen this kind of observational post done for functions and MBTI types, but not for Enneagram I don’t think?? Disclaimer: based off personal observation.

Feel free to contribute :)

One: (Note: I don’t know many of this type) Least relaxed, gaze can become fixated on one thing in the environment esp. when talking/trying to explain something, bright, slightly strained.

Two: Expressive, attentive, anticipating, reactive, open (but can also look very closed-off if unhealthy - focus overwhelmingly on the other person); often cheerful, ‘alight’.

Three: (Note: I don’t know many of this type) Level, straightforward, superficially expressive, confident, shiny, can look very inexpressive/serious when not interacting with people.

Four: Tired, often compassionate, self-absorbed, self-deprecating, can look cynical; soft, starry, ‘piercing’ but in that you are drawn to look into their eyes not necessarily that they’re invading your soul.

Five: Quiet but not absent, observing, piercing, detached but only purposely, from withholding (compared to 9’s typical ‘floatiness’), direct-facing but not so challenging (as 8) more matter of fact.

Six: Searching and responsive, like they’re waiting for you/the world to make the first move; petitioning, checking, may make a lot of sideways glances in person and in photos.

Seven: Lively, outwardly-focused, often flitting between things in the environment (more so if Ne, more acting-on if Se). When they make direct eye contact and speak, you may feel like they’re using you as an anchor as they run along with their thoughts.

Eight: Very outwardly-focused, intense, direct and challenging like laser beams are coming from their eyes; can look cold, kind of lizard-like but if warm, purposeful.

Nine: Relaxed around eyes, not showing much strong emotion, staring into the distance slightly glazed over, eye contact can be genuine but generally doesn’t emphasise strong ‘alliances’ as such; can look enigmatic.

I think if I had gotten an amazon echo for Christmas I would have interpreted it as a threat

Enneagram and instinctual variants

These are very nice imo

going from “today is a good day” to “i hate my life” takes me approximately 2.6 seconds

Ask away

If you’re an MBTI blog willing to take asks reblog this.

The darkest minds tend to hide behind the most unlikely faces.

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”

me: puts forth minimal effort in an attempt to solve a problem

me: ive tried EVERYTHING

there are four types of people:

neon signs, biting your lip, adrenalin, late night talks, vintage vinyls, raspberries

journals and stationery, whispers, feeling sleepy, browsing wikipedia for 2 hours, streets in foreign cities, sculptures

daisies, the sound of laughter, pressed flowers, genuine compliments, oversized sweaters

marble, sarcasm, old books, lightning, skyscrapers, crystals, proving them wrong

*crushes my emotions with my bare hands* as I was saying,

The justification of art is the internal combustion it ignites in the hearts of men and not its shallow, externalized, public manifestations. The purpose of art is not the release of a momentary ejection of adrenaline but is, rather, the gradual, lifelong construction of a state of wonder and serenity.

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 

ENTP? More like

extrovert with no friends

me while i’m just living my life: yeah.. i don’t get it. just don’t understand any of this. like i just………………………………… don’t get it

This might come as a shock to some of you but saying “I’m not informed enough on this particular topic to have an opinion” is about 100 times more respectable than being misinformed

Why u gotta be so hateful

i am full of love you dumb son of a bitch

enneagram & unconscious beliefs that are holding them back

type 1: "I have the moral high ground. I need to make sure all of my actions are justifiable."

type 2: "If I am loving, I will be loved back. If I don't go the extra mile to meet others' needs, I won't be."

type 3: "I am the most competent and impressive because others don't work as hard to succeed as I do."

type 4: "I deserve to be victimized. Others reject me because there is something wrong with me."

type 5: "Withdrawing until I arrive at a complete understanding will compensate for my vulnerabilities."

type 6: "If I stay vigilant and observe who is the most trustworthy, I can stave off danger and loss."

type 7: "I'll stay positive and keep my mind stimulated, because dwelling on pain and fear is pointless."

type 8: "I have the most strength and grit; I need to make sure nothing poses a threat to me or those I protect."

type 9: "Whether or not I am okay with what's happening, I need to avoid provoking conflict and unease in others."

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.

ENTP Paradox

The most stubborn open-minded people you’ll find.

mbti - who they need in their life.

INTJ, INTP - Someone who can bring warmth to their coldness, light to their darkness, happiness to their depression, but also someone who understands how important the cold, the dark, and the depression is to them.

ENTJ, ESTJ - Someone who can challenge them, keep them entertained and interested yet keep them in their place.

INFP, ISFP - Someone who understands how complicated and simple they are, someone who doesn’t try to fix them or makes sense of them but just embraces them. 

ENFP - Someone who takes everything they aspire to be and help them make it a reality, someone who makes them understand that dreams are great but accomplishments are better. Someone who acts like a mirror to them, makes sure they don’t go off the tracks yet, enjoys getting lost within them.

INFJ, ENFJ - Someone who makes them smile without hiding a frown within, someone who brings out the real them no matter how difficult

ESTP, ISTP, , ESFP - Someone who can ride with them to no place in specific yet always knows where to go when things get too overwhelming

ISTJ - Someone who makes them read beyond the words and helps them see beyond the facts and the rules, someone who adds paint to their canvas

ENTP - Someone who takes all the hate and highlights all the positives, someone who is able to truly talk to them and challenge them

ISFJ, ESFJ - Someone who doesn’t need help from them, someone who helps them find what they want for themselves
