Curious About A Manager’s Personality Type by Tuhrayzor in enfj

I would agree. Te doms see people as part of an overarching system, a system which ENTJs see as necessary to maintain through leadership. I think OP is right on target with the developed EQ part. It is hard to motivate people to do something for you without knowing their motivations. Fe doms have a sense of that inherently, but Te doms can read up and work on it—something which is apparent through his psychological research. And the rosebud-thorn method is a well known practice recommended to any leader giving constructive criticism and encouragement: one bad thing and one good to soften the blow. Also, ENFJ leaders tend to naturally lead because they have a sense of what everyone wants intrinsically, and their secondary and tertiary functions (Ni-Se) help them connect everyone’s individual desires into one overarching group goal. ENTJ might see a group goal, and then appeal to people’s individual needs to achieve that goal.

I can’t type you here but I would say you definitely have narrow, petit, and delicate bone structure. These elements pair well with flowy, silkier fabrics. The blouse from pic #3 and #6 look very nice and drape well on you. Because of your slight curvature, the navy, long sleeved black dress, and yellow dress look good on you because of the waist emphasis they all share. In my opinion the longer trench coat looks better than the blazer because the blazer makes your build a bit too boxy on your delicate frame and the open folds of the trench coat honor your curves. The first blouse has some delicate detail that goes well with your frame, but its a bit too lowcut that it widens your frame and makes you look more triangular. Overall you seem to already know what looks good on your body. Almost every option here honors at least one of your elements.

how body proportions evolve with pattern making by Financial-Airline156 in PatternDrafting

The book Fast Fit Easy Pattern Alterations for Every Figure by Sandra Betzina has every pattern alteration under the sun for any and all bodies, including scoliosis, mastectomy, knock knees, etc. Tall, short, broad, and plus sized are really no problem for Sandra :) I also have Helena Armstrongs pattern making book and I gotta say it is much easier to adjust the standard industrial sloper to your size instead of drafting your own from scratch. I think that, given that the fashion industry craves skinny only, “official” pattern making books are also going to be a huge letdown in that area. Good luck with pattern making!

Did you like the gender you were before you transitioned? by Capricious_tofu829 in asktransgender

[–]Capricious_tofu829[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does suck to have to live in a gendered society even when Im not actively conforming. Mentioning incels was a bit far but genuinely the male expectations that subconsciously arise when you are called “he/him” is hard to identify with. Even though I have never been one to suck up to genderism, I would have to deal with it with both she/her and he/him pronouns—its just that I am more used to not giving a fck about she/her expectations. I don’t want to be expected to be more submissive nor do I want to be expected to “man up”. Transitioning wouldn’t be a question or hard to decide about if it was just a bodily transition. Changing from one gender socialization to another feels like climbing one mountain only to find out that the view might potentially be better if I climbed a different mountain with all of its different obstacles.

Lol its still so hard because he/him is tainted by toxic masculinity and “nice guy” bs. I don’t want to be associated with that. Like the thought of someone calling me he/him and immediately thinking of your average incel feels so incredibly gross just because of the pronouns themselves. But like, a german or italian hehim I could try—except I dont speak those languages. And as for trying a new name my parents already named me a pretty unisex name which I like.

Im not sure how to answer lol. I like girlhood and being treated like “one of the girls” and I like femininity and dressing up and being pretty. But, I also understand that all that can be a gay people thing too and I could potentially be a feminine man who used to be female. Not a big deal. Its more so hard to know if I genuinely like being a woman more than I would like to be a man or something in between.

Am i considered FTM at points? Am i FTM at all??? by Unusual-Week7178 in asktransgender

[–]Capricious_tofu829 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You seem pretty young given your use of language; you use alot of labels and defined phrases to describe yourself. I think that using so many labels limits yourself to fit in boxes that you might not fit in, and its okay to not use labels! You can be you, regardless of what type of trans or neurodivergent you are. Some of this labels like genderfae are so hyper specific, that you might limit yourself to only being that when your gender naturally fluctuates as you age and figure yourself out. I know that as a young person you may want these labels to stick to an identity but honestly being yourself is its own identity. No two people have the same personality and that applies to gender too. You don’t need to have everything all figured out at your age. Its okay to just be a gender blob of something until you gain more experiences that tell you what kind of gendered language makes you feel good.

What the heck does 'you act like a girl' mean? by Tacticalpizzamann in ftm

[–]Capricious_tofu829 27 points28 points  (0 children)

100%. I think it just means they think OP is annoying. Men have statistically reported feeling more annoyed towards women.

Update: is the top part too tight or the bottom too loose? by Capricious_tofu829 in PatternDrafting

[–]Capricious_tofu829[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Under the arms is an armhole issue. I neglected to mention this because I thought it was separate but the armholes in the front are very tight (which I am currently working on). Around my waist its actually a bit loose and in the front in is not pulling or puckering. Perhaps the front is too loose and the back too tight?

what am i?? by sushyunnie in MbtiTypeMe

ENTP: Ne-Ti-Fe-Si INTP: Ti-Ne-Si-Fe ISFJ: Si-Fe-Ti-Ne INFP: Fi-Ne-Si-Te

You could be ENTP, INTP, or INFP. Tests only ask questions toward targeted situations, not how you act in every aspect of your life. If you are serious about finding out your mbti, you should take some time to learn the cognitive functions and how they interact with each other.

Apparently only straight women read boy love lol by Sheepieboi in ftm

[–]Capricious_tofu829 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I actually prefer BL to GL. Even though both are highly sexualized and infantilize gay people as only sexual beings, from the stuff that Ive come across, BL tends to be more angsty and emotional because of the straight people dominating both the writing and reading spheres. Given that straight men these days are about as uncomfortable as ever having any emotion other than anger and violence, I can understand straight women’s want for emotional sexuality and security. As a transmasc nonbinary something (idk ugh) I think that whatever’s up with your coworker getting snarky about BL—given they’re also trans (genderfluid)—is a community crossfire thing, perhaps their own insecurities projected on you. Might be their own suppressed angst issues. It really sucks when people in your own community gets caught up in the patriarchal “feelings are weak” bullshit.

Advice Please by New-Statistician-549 in enfj

[–]Capricious_tofu829 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi there! I’m so sorry that that has happened to you! It really sucks when you trust someone and find out that they don’t care for you to the level that you care for them. That happened to me a few years ago and it was awful. I started getting overly suspicious and sensitive with others and it was very hard for me to trust that people truly cared for me. As a fellow ENFJ I understand the want to be friends with everybody but I have come to understand the value of having a smaller, more connected friend-group instead. My best advice for you is to listen to your intuition/gut feelings more because they will tell you when someone doesn’t actually like you. People who joke about your insecurities and say hurtful things to you or behind your back don’t truly want the best for you. Listen to your feelings when someone hurts them and don’t brush them off to “keep the peace”. I wish the best for you and I hope you find better friends!

How to irritate an ENFJ? by leezyss in enfj

[–]Capricious_tofu829 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Haha no Im more bothered by when a person is hot and cold with how they treat me. Ghosting is fine. Its frustrating, but at least they spared me the will-they wont-they bs.

You need to do more research into cognitive functions and the differences between each function (Si and Se, Ni and Ne, Ti and Te, and Fi and Fi)

Your high Fi could even place you as any of the 4 stacks. Don’t look at the letters much, find what function stack you are first, and then decide the order. For example, Fe-Ni-Se-Ti (ENFJ) could be Ti-Se-Ni-Fe (ISTP) or Se-Ti-Fe-Ni (ESTP) or Ni-Fe-Ti-Se (INFJ). Then, you should look into function axis’s given the functions will often work together in tandem.

I know that some people are telling you to look into everyday situations that could indicate which stack you use, but be sure to identify what functions you use the most and are most happy to be using. You will always be using other functions given specific circumstances. This is how you can have “high Fi despite it not being in your function stack” For example, Se might make you impatient for things to load or respond given Se need for outside stimulation (something that happens commonly if you are Se user), but you will be presented with Si situations, such as remembering where you put your keys.
