I'm an ENTP as well. When you talked about where we live, pointing to the head or the heart.... if you asked me, I'd point to the world around me. It's what created me. My mind is simply the part of me that allows me to understand it. But the world around me is what programmed me. It is the source of my inspiration. It is the game in which I exist. All of my actions and understanding are born of the experience given to me by the world around me. You mentioned playing chess. Even in chess, the moves are just a choice of the options given to us by the game environment. The rules and the opponent and the strategy create the move. We don't. Being a successful ENTP requires surrendering to the fact that we exist and flow at the mercy and inspiration of the world around us. This is why we aren't motivated when we are alone. We need to have a flow to carry us. We need a game to play. The hardest part of being an ENTP is surrendering to the fact that we are not in control. The game is in control. The flow is in control. The secret is surrender. Have you read "the subtle art of not giving a f&$^" it's a game changer I feel you so deeply brother. Thank you for sharing this video.
@@the.wandering.fool1981 Very well put, deeply appreciate it 🌌 I keep thinking I need to isolate myself to learn how to be alone and get waay too much water over my head.
I’m an XNTP leaning ENTP and the untreated ADHD is an issue. I also get you with the not knowing WHO YOU ARE. I never know what I want or like in any aspect of my life. I think I want a family someday(so like wife and kids), but that’s about it. There are some things I know I like. Other people get extremely attached to things they like…I don’t at all. I will immediately and easily abandon passions, interests, and hobbies as soon as it becomes less interesting or I realize it is logically incorrect. I generally like Jazz music, certain video games, philosophy, psychology, and sometimes science. I’m really smart and good at A LOT of stuff too, as I can be a natural because I learn fast. My value system is a little whack and sometimes I wonder if I’m a psychopath. It seems like many topics and ideas that would traumatize people…I seem to feel nothing around. If anything I find them fascinating. The most horrible, degenerate, and wrong things in society I have no problem casually discussing with strangers. It frequently makes others uncomfortable, but Its not my intention and it makes me feel bad. My curiosity is intense and 100% uncensored. When I learned what having Fi in the 7th spot or having PoLR Fi and dominant Ne it started to make a lot of sense.
I mean, you're not a psychopath unless you manipulate people and control them to get money or control. They also have insanely fragile tweeny egoes that needs to be incredibly grandiose to feel adequate. It's just that we look at things in the abstract in a detached maner, logically. The Fi/Te axis is a completely different way of understanding that really can be shocking to us. IxFPs in particular you really need to understand that they "think" with their emotions, veery deeply. So it is very easy for a disturbance to happen. Entps are in general some of the most empathetic people you'll ever come across, so the psychopath stereotype is very unfair imo. For the rest of it, try to learn how to stop seeing what is possible in the external and look into the internal sub-conscious landscape. It's an infinate plane and really all you are trying to find is lying there up for grabs. We have an incredibly strong intuition so we can go so deep in our subconcious that it's almost frightening. But it is really that we are not used to deep rest.
@@AdamPratar I definitely hate being a disturbance and bothering others. I would prefer to never get in peoples way because I know I wouldn’t want someone in my way either. I do think I’m a lot more empathetic than some cruel and commanding people. I really do worry about others emotions. The problem is that I’m so detached from my own, I’m not always aware of what will rub people the wrong way. That is because NOTHING rubs me the wrong way. Every single topic is free game to me. I hate seeing certain topics not being talked about or not having the logical side argued for. The problem is those topics typically go unspoken for a reason. It doesn’t matter. My emotionally detached and overly curious mind will research it and I’ll talk about it anyway even with complete strangers sometimes. 😅
A 47 year old ENTP here, living in Sweden (based on your accent I assume you do to). I took me over 30 years to get in touch with my emotions (shut of because of a narcissistic parent) so I feel for you. They are sometimes overwhelming, but I still love them. And my personality is a goldmine for my profession, working in support (fixer) for a tech company.
As a result of playing Overwatch I learned I make diamond in everything then quit. The goal is to be the best but I get bored when I reach above average competency
Yeah, that is my experience aswell. You could say it is a weakness of our personality or you could say it is a strength. As the saying continues... "A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one."
That’s funny you say that. As a gamer I’ve consistently peaked around Masters level in FPS games. I’m also trying to curb my OW addiction of 8 years cause no other game peaks my interest to learn. Deadlock is sorta filling that OW gap atm.
Im a INTJ here, 8w7, my cousin actually is ENTP n he is my roomate, he has so much passion for Soccer but I always question him why dont him apply all this knowledge by actually apply to a Soccer team, but he always just day dream and then say fuck it
As an ENTP with ADHD, Ne/ENTP and ADHD are synonymous to me. In the ADHD community, there is a popular quote, "follow the dopamine," which suggests that people with ADHD (and Ne) who try to brute force and master one thing are likely to fail, struggle, and experience negative consequences. Therefore, the best approach for us is to do what our brain naturally leads us to do: jump from one thing to another. This may result in not finishing tasks or projects, but it will enable us to learn and achieve many things that would be impossible if we focused on mastering just one thing. Additionally, it is unique to us that we can learn about so many things so quickly. Other types can't do this as well. So, it's always a plus if we can utilize this ability.
Does anyone else still have this lingering sense of dread when other people get close to you that at one point they’ll realize there’s no one really there inside behind all the performative behaviors?
I think its not surprising that in fiction the ENTP characters are very often the ones with ultimate powers and with speech level 100 (like Q in Star Trek and Bill Cipher in Gravity Falls) or they're some kind of very smart crazy scientists.These kinds of characters are often very likeable (at least in my and my friends' opinion) while being the ENTPs at their best. Unfortunately the real world oftentimes doesn't have slots like that for the ENTPs, the societies want stable beings with clear specific goals. I'm an INTP with adhd and I can relate to these struggles also quite deeply, I feel that my interests and passions are always towards something the society doesn't need or value, something like what mbti for example is :D
Don't worry, to the rare Introverted Intuitives, ENTPs don't have their shit together because we notice lack of consistency and clear routine in actions. We just understand this could never be healthy in the long run because it connects to your personal interests. I came to realize just through understanding of cognitive functions that ENTPs don't really have a driving force in life, something to be passionate about but I never wanted to say it out loud cause I felt I understood something too personal about ENTPs to share without their approval. It's not my role to share such things when it's not even my type. That's why ENTPS can usually make fun of others, because they have something to cherish on the contrary, which makes them vulnerable and hurts them on the flip side when you play on it. That's why ENTPs feel so untouchable. And yet it paradoxically hurts to not have it when you're still a sentient being. INTJs they have the opposite problem. They go through tough times too cause they'll always have difficult relationships with others for lacking the respect and understanding of the other and the community spirit even if they'll usually pretend others are the problem. Something ENTPs can surely point out. I perfectly see what you mean with people saying ENTPs love to go into the unknown cause yes you do. ENTPs all say that but they don't get it's Extroverted Intuition, not comparable to how Introverted Intuition goes into the unknown so as soon as it appears functional, it's enough for you. Introverted Intuition on the contrary people with it don't always like going into the unknown, but when they do they don't to a certain extant but as deep as you possibly can to point out every potential problem that could arise later in your system cause they know it's not perfect precisely. So they won't stay into the unknown. They want it to be the closest to perfection. Even when they reasonably know something, they don't stop and want to become masters at it so the unknown will no longer exist. They'll constantly improve at something. Dedication is the key. When you push yourself into something, that's how you can develop interests. Introverted Intuitives contrary to Extroverted Intuitives are exactly that, specialists. They won't try everything but only few things because they know if they do they'll never master anything and they're not fine with that because they want to succeed. In order to be successful you have to improve at what you do so you have to keep working on it. Or else you could do multiple jobs without qualifications and that will be fine. To dedicate yourself to one path is exactly what Introverted Intuition does. It helps you to choose among multiple options by evaluating them according to multiple factors. Sometimes it makes you close too many doors for yourself but you always know where you're going. To my perspective, what you need is just to be with people to logically understand why what you do matters, so to connect to your emotions through Extroverted Feeling to make it justified for your Introverted Thinking that will want to work hard for it and you will actually enjoy it I suppose. An INTJ friend is a good support in life but maybe try to get closer to an Extroverted Feeler instead, and more specifically an ENFJ or INFJ because they'll not only really understand how you feel inside with your sense of identity in your mind, but they'll most likely have most of the answers for you, particularly about dedicating yourself to one path with Introverted Intuition. You seem to just need to bloom emotionally and to talk to someone who can relate to how you feel inside but also bring you new perspectives and I'm sure it will be fine for you. Just try to stay focused on this objective and to think about the positive impact it will have on your life in the long run even if it's not immediate satisfaction. ENTPs are so wise when they can stay a bit more serious and there is still great aspects about being an ENTP. You guys worth as much as anybody else, you just have to show it more sometimes. Find your way and stay strong.
Mmm, interesting you feel you must you must go deep into something? I don’t think that society is not built for specialists. That’s only seeing it in a narrow angle. A ‘know how ‘in one field when applied to another field can be a groundbreaking innovation or open up possibilities. That perhaps is the power and potential of ENTPs. When you know how everything works, you can apply them across different things and innovate. And then you find specialists to work with to do what you as an ENTP will eventually see as boring and mind numbing. You don’t succeed alone.
I thank you wholeheartedly for making this video, for baring your feelings and thoughts so honestly about the struggles of an entp. It was cathartic listening to you. Current society does not favour the way an entp brain functions. I've always been in awe of the idea of a polymath and seen myself as a true Renaissance woman, but these deep-seated inclinations, even the talent, seem to be more of a curse than a blessing most of the time. Looking forward to more content from you!
I can talk about anything like a nerd...but I'm quite guessing sometimes. And u can clearly see this when I talk to an intp/intj about the same things, I totally agree with everything...this made me think that im definitely an entp... cause i couldn't relate more
@@futurecatlady3399 You can debate about it but I understand man, without proper context entp can be categorize the same as those with brain damage sometimes
since u explain how shit my life is .... and explaining my gf intj how shit can be ... i gave u subscribe... well as an entp to an entp ... dont try for other to understand u ... that is never going to happen u will always painted as villian and will be given " he is fine ... he is just need attention.... so i did shitted my life ... i screwed pretty well lot of entp or entp lovers try to clear the name ... i like it raw... and play the game of villian... life suck let it...
dude, I'm ENFP. I can relate to a lot, mainly the not fitting society part. I think I may be more tunned with my emotions and feelings, but this doesn't help me a lot, bc this leads me to paths that are not what society expects yk? I won't make a great amount of money with what I genuinely would like to pursuit, and I may change idea in a second... It's very annoying. Also, I'm a little tired of just giving ppl a lot of ideas so they can work on, bu me myself, I never work rlly hard in any idea bc I hust find sth more interesting in the way oof
Train your attention span and just keep trying, my fellow ENFP, you will find something to capture your attention for longer for some reason also try to tune your mind to keeping your attention beforehand! Best of luck!
I'm an ENTP and recently feel like I found myself. First time in my life I've been able to truly focus on something for prolongued periods of time. I really enjoy what I'm doing.
Congratulations @Aldo-Hugo for being the only one here who has an en-basis understanding of MBTI. Whether you are a bot or not is absolutely irrelevant to myself. Adam Pratar it does NOT suck to be an ENTP, but it does indeed suck to be you and create this dreadful piece of "Sorry Me Click Bait Content". Before you even consider proceeding to reading the myersbriggs legacy, that is if you have the actual factual capacity to do so. Deal with yourself, and furthermore your mental health. Mind over your matter, you cannot handle the banter - Nothing more than a mere attention seeker. Shame on you, hope you take heed from this, and wish you all the very best in your life. One step at a time for after the rain comes the sunshine 🌧🌞 UwU - Much Love and Coconuts 💞🥥
Är också en svensk ENTP ska börja Juristprogrammet till höst har studerat psykologi och utforskat en hel del kring dessa ämnen med . Vore kul att prata med en annan ENTP och utbyta lite erfarenheter ✌️
You should learn your cognitive functions better. If you were ENTP all you’d need is ISTP and INFJ friends as they are your beta and alpha types. What the ENTP is dismissive of is their sense of self worth. Only when engaging with their alpha and beta types does the ENTP gain that comprehension. ENTP exist for INFJ and ISTP. Stop going off stereotypes and refine your identity by being part of a collective. If you are ENTP you need to be a part of a collective conscience that includes INFJ, ESFJ, ENTP, and ISTP. Together one should be able to find purpose and advocacy for the values they build together. Until the ENTP finds their collective they should avoid dealing with other types as they will lack a foundation for them to stand on and command respect. Yes, the world is stacked against the ENTP because they belong to a collective that exists to oppose and balance another collective. This is the collective that consists of ENTJ, ISTJ, INFP, and ESFP. Together they comprise a collective that under the command of the ENTJ insure that their values and identity are insured. This means oppressing the ENTP collective to the point where no such collective can potentially exist and subjugation of all others. You can only fight this oppression by knowing. Insight others to form their own collective and identity in spite of their attachments to nationality, religion, doctrine, etc. Live for yourself by building that collective which should ensure that you are motivated and have a sense of direction.
Don't go off sterotypes but follow sterotypes? Learn to engage with people by engaging with no one? Live for yourself by living for your collective? What are you talking about? Lol
