Human connection.|||I don't find alcohol to be the answer to my emotions, but sometimes it does help to take the edge off the anxiety.|||Video games and reading are my bread and butter.  Don't worry about your MBTI defining your hobbies. The MBTI is how you go about doing something, not why or what. I love my hobbies and...|||I would say you'll find ENTJ's in many places, but it depends on their Enneagram. Type 5's are more likely to be at the networking events.

She's my anchor in the storm a lot of the time. However, the amicability of our...|||If you're looking for a book on the ENTJ processes, read Ender's Game. It's ENTJ crack.|||Usually that monster is right. I'm on the I need to be alone swing of the pendulum. The issue is that my INTJ isn't really fully aware of my hatred for anyone and everyone that dares require some...|||Yeah, I'm still stuck on the OP as well. Dating is hard and unfulfilling. Granted, I have the go big or go home philosophy, and I tend to jump straight from one serious relationship to the next. I...|||Yeah, I'm still stuck on the OP as well. Dating is hard and unfulfilling. Granted, I have the go big or go home philosophy, and I tend to jump straight from one serious relationship to the next. I...|||As for my feelings on birthdays, I like being the center of attention, so I love celebrating mine.  As for your situation, I think it's a nice way to start off a work week with a surprise party on...|||1. Both. It depends on the chemistry. 2. B.A. in English Ed. I teach sophomore English. 3.

I don't take it as gospel, as it's more a tool of how someone will do something rather than why. However, as a teacher, it's useful to be able to determine how my...|||1. Name the most amazing place you've ever traveled to. Where would you like to go that you haven't been to yet? - The UK. - Japan  2. Tell us one thing about yourself that doesn't fit the ENTJ...|||INTP, actually. But that's also for MBTI, not socionics. I know I personally am drained by F types, no matter SF or NF.|||My feelings about ISFPs are best summed up in the below photo, though admittedly my experience has been limited to a past abusive relationship:  188930|||I have the anxiety and self-esteem issues as well.

An INTJ and I are now circling each other, and it's...|||I would get that blunt if I hadn't been aware of the emotions at hand. Had it been a professional problem, I'd have hammered it out in public. Where emotions are involved, I'm significantly more...|||As one ENTJ to another, I'd find a time and place where we were in the same area, wait until he was staring, make the come here motion, pull him into a side room, and flat out ask him why he's...|||I would disagree with that. I hold grudges like a boss. You just might not see it.  I'm not sure if this is a trait common to ENTJs, although it was common to the other ENTJ I know personally. We...|||The conflict seems to happen primarily on the personal level. I can deal with just about any type on a professional level (I'm a teacher), but my issues with this ISFP came out during personal...|||For ENTJ: 1. Describe an  a.) ISFP. Broken.  b.) INTP. Internet troll. 2. How do you act around  a.) ISFP *grrhisspfft*  b.) INTP Amused banter usually takes place, although the few I know can...|||As an ENTJ, I definitely have a flash temper. However, I've learned to nurture my Fi over the years, so I generally have a much more controlled response. It allows me to be more human and have more...|||Speaking for myself, the only thing that really made me jump at a relationship in order to get out of a rut was the idea of someone providing resources, be that decent conversation, new experiences,...|||Alarmingly accurate. We've been on and off for six years now. I'm starting to realize that he's been keeping me (unintentionally) in a shadow form for some time now. I intend to discuss that with him...|||So here's the next question: How does an ENTJ deal with SFs when he/she/it is under an extreme amount of stress, almost or totally at the point of being in shadow form?  Teaching does this to me...|||That's usually what I try to do. However, in this situation, my buffer person failed me and I was left feeling jilted and floundering and, consequently, angry.|||So what would you suggest as an ISFP for me to interact with...it seems rude to say your kind, but that's all I'm coming up with. I don't want to starve either side of pleasure during the...|||This. This is what I'm going through.|||I don't suppose this is just my J function rearing its ugly head and deciding that these people are a waste of my time, huh? It's starting to seem that way the longer I have to calm down from this...|||I've been having a rather uncertain time in my life where I'm shrinking away from people I don't initially trust or feel like they're a waste of time, and this has almost taken the label of shy for...|||You make it sound so easy. *sigh* What's worse is that I'm sure you're right.

This is when my boyfriend decides to introduce me to someone new for the sake of integrating me into other parts of his life. These are the required...|||I can't seem to limit my contact with them. They're everywhere. It doesn't help that I'm a high school teacher and am inundated by the SFs.|||Yes, I have other NTs and NFs that I hang out with for balance, and they surround me at work and at home. As for why I'm dating the SF in the first place...that would be the million dollar question....|||Nevermind. I figured it out, I think. I have to be out of the ENTJ section before that shows up.|||I definitely feel the same way. I can socialize like a beast with anyone and anybody so long as I have an endgame. If I need something from these people or have to teach them something, I can talk to...|||I'll discuss this or that with them for a few minutes and then observe them interacting with others, as they're not usually so deep in conversation with me that they can't flit from person to person....|||What problems do you have the with SFs and FPs? I'm curious if we have the same kinds of issues.|||I...I'm not sure how to respond to that image, so I'll divert with a question:  How do I get my MBTI type underneath my username on the sidebar?|||*crickets*|||Either that or you've never played Pokemon...|||That doesn't change when you get older.
