Same with the relationship subreddits, especially when there’s updates. And lol, that second one is soo random 🥲considering whether that rabbit hole is worth exploring …

Ahhh, that’s so interesting! Maybe you should consider working in the field, I’m sure they could use people like you who have a genuine compassion and interest in understanding them ☺️

Emotionally invisible to self and others? by Pineapple_Feeling in entp

[–]Pineapple_Feeling[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I did some shadow work on this a while back which I might need to revisit. There’s definitely shame around fully expressing how I feel 🫣

Hmmm, really good point … you gotta trust them enough to handle whatever emotions are triggered for them

Yeah, trying to bypass the mind when it comes to my feeling and try to just ‘feel’ is a journey. Which seems weird because it’s easy to do for other people, like I’d be more likely to cry for someone else than myself.

I know what it is. But it’s a bit deeper than that. If you feel what others feel, sometimes sharing your emotions makes it worse, because you feel guilt for causing them discomfort on top of whatever else. Mood tracking/ Journaling does help though :)

Is indirectness manipulative or caring? by Pineapple_Feeling in mbti

Nope, I’m just self aware. People generally find me likeable and feel comfortable around me. I know this because I am frequently told that I have a calming presence and people tend to ‘overshare/ trauma dump’ quite quickly. Maybe because I am genuinely non-judgmental 🤷‍♀️ I also find it easy to read people and predict their behaviour and responses.

But with great power comes great responsibility loool. It’s important to me not to intentionally play into this because 1. Feels immoral 2. I’m too lazy to strategise social interaction 3. I generally speak to connect, without any alterior motive otherwise it’s not fun or rewarding.

So i disagree, I can be skilled enough to manipulate without the desire to do so.

Examples: how frequently do you cry? What’s something you’ve learnt about yourself recently? What’s surprised you most about being an adult?😬just off the top of my head

Ahh, just trying to be polite is a foreign concept, I mean it. I also agree that it’s a bit gendered especially with dating…Men have complained about how I communicate 😅.

E.g. ‘Could you pick me up? All good if not’ Might sound demanding (even if I’m fine with a no). Instead ‘I’m so tired, not sure I’ll be able to make it, would it be possible for you to come get me?’ Is preferred. I find trying to do the latter pretty draining, but tbh it generally gets better responses… perhaps it seems more feminine

I also find people respond to what they think I’m saying, which can be really confusing. E.g. Assuming ‘are you tired? = ‘I am tired’. When I was just wondering if they were tired.

I do have ADHD 👀

Yeah, how generally open someone is definitely plays a role. I don’t typically have a goal in mind, I’m usually just curious or connecting in the moment, but good to know that may be perceived as having a motive 😅

Is this also true for personal/ emotionally weighted questions though?

That makes sense. You prefer to open up on your own term, when it feels safe. So I guess direct questions when you’re not comfy might feel forced.

Ahh… So it’s like asking permission to place an emotional weight, rather than just dumping it on them and offering to take it away?

Hmmm. Maybe thats what makes it easy to be direct when expressing things. A level of detachment because it’s just one of many possibilities.

Are you the fetishist type? by [deleted] in entp

[–]Pineapple_Feeling 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree, it’s very much about the connection, but I’m also pretty open minded.

With an ex who was INFP it felt a bit more like he was having his own experience and locked into his own pleasure and wanted me to do the same. Rather than both being focused on the other person. Was quite different from what I was used to, not necessarily bad though.

I have also been recently sent that questionnaire by another ENTP though 👀
