'I have found it easier to learn by actually conversing with people. Classes helped, but to a minimal extent.  Compared to my peers, I am better at holding a natural conversation with slang while...|||This|||Just entertaining my own curiosity.  Are any particular personality types more adept at picking up a new language? How would different types go about learning a new language? How would they use it...|||Haven't posted in a while. There's a doctor here who doesn't think this is so, forgot his name. I, however, am ESTP with an ADHD diagnosis. I can see how there might be misdiagnoses when personality...|||Warning an ESTP male to stay away from your [daughter, sister, cousin, etc] is pretty much a dare. Should have known better.|||I have a similar issue, I'll think blankly. I think your problem is you probably don't have a deadline approaching soon or perhaps nothing much is at stake. I can think in endless loops of arbitrary...|||You sound pretty much like us. Embrace it, we get a lot of heat from others, but they can't live without us. What you said about your study habits is exactly what's going on with me. I don't...|||I posted my experience here. HOLYSHIZZY is pretty spot on.|||I am a kinesthetic learner. I thought I was a visual learner, which is more or less true. But I didn't know about learning styles back then. I have to get my hands dirty to learn; I find trial and...|||Yes interested. Snapping into attention around a lot of people, you yourself are included in a lot of people. Being on your side, defending you, and affirmative responses (like laughing at your...|||I'm kind of bogged down because I decided to go to grad school. There's always the weekend. There are plenty of things to do nearby, I always find stuff to do. Maybe kill time with friends. I too...|||Any good reason. Convenience isn't really a good reason, and inconvenience is just bad.  Like what Cinnamon83 said, mentally and physically stimulating.   Even though I tend to have my guard up,...|||(I love seasons so much) So do I, that's why I live in a place that skips all the shitty ones. - Daniel Tosh  I like seasons. In summer is for surfing, winter is for snowboarding, fall is for...|||Oh let's not get started with THAT on the ESTP forum. :laughing: Too late!  No fireworks within city limits LOL, but you can get them the next city over. And yeah, ping pong balls are good for...|||Haven't really played electric violin. Played more classical (that video is a modern rendition of Adagio for Stings. But, when I decide to open my violin case, I'll bet that I can play that, but...|||I did the violin. The point is NOT to be a rockstar, but to be a musician!  Here's some violin porn. She also uses BOSS pedals for the violin, totally metal, lol.  ...|||Yeah, I jumped around, mimicked, broke toys, and reach for everything.  The last sentence,   I was referring to how I played with water all the time. Good thing too. Had I learned about fire any...|||So what makes emotional abuse different than hurting someone's feelings. Is it emotional abuse simply because it happens in a relationship? Or does it have to be a chronic situation in the...|||I didn't think to bring up electric drums, he seemed like an acoustic/analog type of guy. But it's true, he can even use headphones (drumming on headphones is probably such an alien concept to him)....|||Thanks, but I was kind of hoping for more context than a dictionary definition; as an ESTP I guess it's the best way to interpret everything according to the dictionary, either black or white.  I'm...|||Oh yeah. I walk with Johnny all the time.  Cohiba? Yes, and Romeo y Julieta, and Montecristo. The fact that US Customs is likely to give me shit for having a fucking cigar makes me enjoy it even...|||At least two of my past relationships have been described as toxic.  I don't know about abusive. I surely haven't been abusive, and I don't think I've been abused. I've been pissed the fuck off....|||Our family-friend hosted for thanksgiving, drum set belonged to his kid.

Here's my story.  I'm able to admit to having been depressed in the past. I wouldn't accept it. Not that I was in denial, I just couldn't even see it at first. Friends started...|||I keep hearing this thing about WXYZ and ABCD are a bad match. It doesn't matter what theory says, it's literally theoretical. What's more practical is getting along, attraction, understanding,...|||Never did online dating. Think it's lame. Don't think I ever would. Maybe if I was bored, just for fun and laughs (mean? bite me!), but still not likely. Maybe online dating, but still no. I like...|||My parents told me I never crawled, I went straight to walking, running, and falling. I didn't cry much but my facial expressions communicated pretty much everything. When I started to talk in...|||Welcome fellow musician.  Nice gear. I'm doing my thing with a Gibson SG, Line 6 amp, Fender Frontman Tube (from the 80s), Roland stomp effects (also from the 80s). Also play keyboard. Used to play...|||I guess it comes so easy to some that some of us fail to put ourselves in the other person's shoes. I guess I'm sorry for that.  I'm trying to help. I know it's easier said than done for some. It...|||Lesson 1: Just do it! Just go up to someone and strike up a conversation. Here's how.  Before class starts, listen in on what people are talking about, and just pop in as if their conversation...|||I think arrogant individuals who expect everyone to go by their rules to the bitter end, without any compromise, are assholes.  I don't think that applies to every single ENTJ out there does it?...|||Sure thing. Hope my response was helpful.  Just don't rely too much on this MBTI thing when it comes to dealing with real people and real relationships. What are the chances he really is ESTP? What...|||ESFPs are cool.  Too social and attention driven? That's like saying certain introverts are not social enough and lack the need for attention. I understand how some people are attention whores, but...|||Anyone can get jealous, but I would think ESTPs are either too confident to show it or good at hiding it. ESTPs value loyalty (doesn't everybody?), break loyalty and you've made their list.  It's a...|||I tend to go through phases.

Have you had a conversation with her as far as what her plans are (before this thing current...|||Wow, your issues sound like a bigger problem than other people taking drugs. Maybe no one accepts you or pays attention to you because you're an attention seeking hater. Sounds like the rationale a...|||First of all, I don't get drunk easily. I like craft beer, wine, and good whiskey as far as flavor is concerned; but I'll drink just about anything the party calls for. I'm always in control, except...|||So, is it his INTUITION that makes him FEEL annoyed that people openly do drugs against his JUDGMENT that drugs should be done ALONE?  If that's the case, am I on the right track to type him as...|||Doing drugs alone is a whole lot worse than doing drugs socially. Alone = despair, socially = fun; the same applies to drinking.

Increased participation might be a sign if they're trying to show off. Looking down might be an indicator of interest if it...'
