'Cute!|||Sensational  I'm the same way.  I prefer to take relationships one day at a time and go with the flow.  I don't much care for a lot of planning.  I think it comes with the territory of being a P...|||So true.  I despise being the recipient of unsolicited advice.  If I want someone's advice I will ask for it.  Otherwise, just leave me alone.  Chances are, I've already thought of the solution you...|||I've noticed that the only emotions I express readily are anger, annoyance, frustration, etc.  I've been that way my whole life.  I don't notice myself intentionally repressing my other emotions, I...|||What do you mean by this?  Inflamed in what way?|||I can relate to this very much.|||Maybe she just wasn't interested.  Her loss, right? :wink:|||Well, we would talk, but I don't think we communicated very well.  Lots of misunderstandings.  There was an age difference too.  He's almost nine years younger.|||I want my avatar back.  :sad:|||Yep.  He sums up the dynamic nicely.  I commented on that video about my experience with my INFJ ex-boyfriend.  INFJs are the only personality type that can intimidate me.  They're hard to figure...|||I guess for me it would be about maintaining a positive view of the future.|||Ni.  I don't trust it.|||I'm going to sidestep your question and say that just because you behave like an introvert doesn't mean that you are one.  I assumed for years that I was an introvert because I'm not particularly...|||Ha!  For sure.  I even hate carrying a purse when I go out.  If I have pockets I leave the purse in the car and bring the debit/credit card, keys and phone.|||Is this the guy you thought was ISTJ or someone else?|||I mostly post in the ISTJ sub-forum and here.|||I'm curious.  Does anyone else hate talking on the phone? I don't mind texting and I don't mind talking in person, but I hate talking on the phone. I've pinpointed that I hate it because it doesn't...|||Edited:  I decided to move this remark to its own thread.|||I'm sorry to hear that.  I hope you get a new job soon.  As a fellow ESTP I know how hard it can be, but try to zip the lip at the next job, 'kay? :wink:|||You have a very good eye.  My iPhone takes lousy photos.  You must have a better one than I do.|||I wanted to see if ESTPs truly lean toward entrepreneurship as so many of the type descriptions I've read say that they do.  I've always had an entrepreneurial spirit, but no mentors in my immediate...|||I'm working on starting a web development business.  It'll be saas, subscription based.  If it's successful it will be something I can eventually outsource and be totally hands-off.  Location...|||A random question for my fellow ESTPs:  Start and grow a business that can eventually be hands-off or work for someone else and save for retirement?|||LOL  I would have done the same.  Who designs a washing machine for personal use that requires a code just to open the door?  I could see it for a commercial machine, but one intended for home use? ...|||Yes, I did get good grades in school.  I'm not a fan of school though.  I did enough to get by and get good grades.  I looked for shortcuts.  I would glean just enough from the reading material to be...|||Oh, okay.  Thank you for clarifying.  Socionics is interesting.  I could see how the duality relationship has the potential to be strong.  My mom was an INFJ, I think, and she and I had a close...|||Nope.  I commented on it.  See above.    Likewise.|||I'm not sure how my statement is a logical fallacy, but if you say so...  https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/anecdotal  Anecdotal Fallacy | Truly Fallacious  Anecdotal Fallacy | All The Tropes...|||Yeah it requires too much Te.  I can't be bothered to be that organized.|||I'm not sure what you're saying here.|||I first read about it here: Natural Type Partners  The theory goes that we are best paired with a partner who shares our dominant function but who use it in a different direction.  Therefore,...|||I would like to meet an ISTJ or ISFJ also.  They are supposedly plentiful in the wild, but I don't seem to meet them.  Maybe I should start hanging out at the library.  :-/  I tend to attract NF...|||Your experience is irrelevant to this situation though.  You can't know that it will happen again for the OP based on your experience with your wife who happens to also be an ISTJ.  Every person is...|||Well, then a couple of question you can ask yourself are:  When I consider feelings, do I make my decisions based on my own personal value system and how I personally feel about them?  If so, you...|||Dear ENFJ,  Thanks for the validation, and I haven't even told you half of the story.  Cheers,  ESTP|||The function stack for one thing.  ESFP:  Se Fi Te Ni ESTP:  Se Ti Fe Ni  The two types use totally different judging functions and in a different order.  That answer may be vague but if you...|||Interesting read.  From these descriptions I can definitely see where I come in as an ESTP.  For one, I despise reading the manual when I get a new gadget.  I think a Ti dom person would be more...|||Aaaand this thread has now turned into an NT circle jerk.  :wink:|||Not really.  I always prefer Se over Ti whether people are around or not.|||I think in my mind I'm thinking that I'm being some sort of cleaning dynamo and that I can get it all done, when in reality I'm just creating more work for myself and nothing is getting done.|||Aw :sad:  I'm so sorry!  Gorgeous pup.  I'm sure he/she had a great life with you and your family.|||SP here.  I just saw this thread.  Yep.  All of the time.  Not so much lonely, but I do often feel misunderstood.  Especially being female and ESTP.  I don't come across as Ms. Lonelyheart so I...|||Are any other ESTPs non-productive multi-taskers?  I notice this in myself especially when I'm cleaning the house.  I will be in the middle of a task and then notice something else that needs to be...|||I used to play wrestle with my INFJ ex-bf until I hurt him and had to stop.  He has an old injury from a serious car accident years ago.|||That would be awesome.  First thought after typing that:  I am one weird chick.|||I have posted something similar on FB.  No one has taken me up on it.  So far.|||Do we not have this thread in here?  I can't find it if we do.  Anyhow...  Dear INFJ,  Yo, stop trying to act like an ESTP.  You can't pull it off.  You say you want to be friends with...|||Take this for what it's worth, but if you're into Socionics, your relationship with your hubby is one of supervisor-supervisee, where you are the supervisor and he is the supervisee.
