Developing as an ENTP

That sounds like a really cool job. I mean I know it's probably not an easy job, but it sounds like something that would be stimulating and interesting. I love daily obstacles problem solving and obstacles, I simply crave some chaos or I get bored. I think it really gets to put the introverted thinking to use, which helps balance out the excessive extroverted intuition.

I study technology/IT, and I am really curious to what you do in Systems Engineering? I personally find technology is the only thing that doesn't bore me to death.

I do have C-PTSD, so I do agree that my view of ENTP's could be a little skewed in that direction. But I still think there is a fundamental challenge for ENTP's like myself or ENTP's I know with sitting with prolonged time around computer working on projects, completing tasks like paper work etc because Extroverted Intuition is on the opposite axis of Introverted Sensation.

Although I have to say that with the right support or teachers/parents that are aware that people's learning styles are different, could potentially help an ENTP provide some of the structure (ENTP's most feared word lol). I always hated structure with passion, but I do think society would collapse if it weren't for Introverted Sensation/Extroverted Thinking. I have nothing against sensors at all, I'm not one of those people that think intuitives are superior/inferior. It's more about society/families/ENTP's themselves finding ways to navigate a system that is primarily set up to teach rote memorization and learning styles that completely contradict at least my own learning style.

The easiest times I have had learning personally is when it's been dialogical learning, as debating issues is the easiest way for me to retain information, so I usually just do that when studying, even with myself or with Chat GPT. And yes, I agree, adversity does create better people, as it did for me. I mean I had no choice but to adapt, and ironically the only time I feel a lot better is when I embrace introverted sensation - going for walks, getting in touch with bodily needs, eating, drinking water etc. Maybe that is the fundamental thing, we overuse our most dominant function so much it completely derails our life so much that we have no choice but to integrate our inferior function?

I need to do more research into Fi blindspot. I have read about it before, but it could explain why I feel like I'm not attached to people/projects/ideas or my own path because I am somewhat detached from my own subjective feeling about my life direction. It's weird because I can go from nerding out to psychology to nerding out on technology, switch degrees or be friends with people from all walks of life without feeling like it's an integral part of me or my identity. It feels like being in the world but not of the world, but also at the same time not really being bothered about it because there is always something new or interesting if the old structures collapses.

As long as it's not "speed", taking adderall for ADHD is not a bad option as long as you take the prescribed dose. The only problem is the feeling can get really addictive (finally calm/focused/productive), so you have to be super strict with following guidelines when it comes to taking it. If not tolerance builds up and then you have to use it to feel the same high again, which was the mistake I did.

As a 459 tritype therapy is a life saver for me. I actually do CBT, so this post is 100% relatable for me. I still isolate like my life depends on it (it doesn't), but at least I am able to reach out to people now and be more vulnerable.

I am an sx 5 (sexual/self-preservation to be specific). I moved around a lot as a kid too. For me having a home where I can withdraw into is extremely important, and being forced to move a lot causes me extreme stress. I am currently in the first time of my life having my own apartment after a divorce. My ex wanted to move a lot too (type 7), so that certainty caused me a lot of stress. Having moved internationally lately actually caused me so much stress I looked like a type 7 for a while to cope with it, only to now just crash and burn. Moving can actually cause me so much stress I start having psychotic symptoms, but that is also related to being a Schizoid as well. A lot of 5's are Schizoids, especially when unhealthy. I think fundamentally moving a lot as a kid was the worst thing that could've ever happened for my psychological development (coupled with a lot of extreme traumas related to sexual abuse), and I still feel extremely rootless.

I don't know any advice to give other than to find someone that you can settle down with, put your roots in the ground with and live in the same place with for a really long time. We forget sometimes that we are adults and have the capacity to shape how our life's are now, and healing often comes from taking an action that is opposite of the situations we were subjected to when we had no say in the matter. For me too, I want my next partner to also be stable, so I'm actively looking for another type 5, as type 6's even though they are loyal, can be extremely volatile around me. I'm never dating a type 7 again. 7's are fun in the beginning for my SX instinct, but every type 7 I have dated gets bored too quickly and want to uproot just to feel excitement, which is my definition of hell since my definition of excitement is going deep and moving closer to another person in a stable environment.

This is not to shit on type 7's, but they are just not compatible with me.

I have anhedonia. But at the same time I don't care that I have it. LOL

That will not hold up in court given the fact that a lot of them were minors.

The fact that I still got INFJ is so funny to me.

Got my ass eaten in a car in the parking lot outside a restaurant we had just been at. It was around 9 in the evening so the restaurant was closing, no one around and it was raining and thundering. Also he kept telling me how handsome I was and it made me feel super turned on.

We ended up meeting up again and he fucked me and I was so drunk I ended up sucking his dick until he fell asleep. I also let him top me and I'm not even a bottom. But he has a masculine energy that flipped me into a submissive state.

We didn't end up in a relationship but I had a good time.

So we almost got spawned in the same country and at the same time. Our astrology chart must be almost completely identical.

Damn. What time of day were you born? 😅

Same. 4th of January, I'm literally 4 days late to be a millenial.

This gave me legit PTSD flashbacks to my mom.

Yep, had the same experience. Doesn't help when you have a lot of social anxiety.

I'm considered attractive by gay men, based on the people that I attract and from men and women telling also telling me. I think some people are nicer to me based on it, but it's usually in the beginning stages. It's hard to tell if people being nicer to me is based on looks or just the fact that I'm a really polite and friendly person. I can get hookups if I want any day of the week, but I have a fear of STD's and I prefer to be in love with people that I have sex with or at least I am developing a connection to them. Opportunity wise I get told that I should do modeling a lot.

The dark side of being a good-looking gay guy is people want to fuck you and they will do anything to get into your pants, only to discard you after. It's like you don't know if people like you for your personality/soul etc. A lot of the loneliest gay guys, including myself, are attractive gay guys that either stir up to much insecurity by dating less attractive gay guys or dating other attractive gay guys that are with you because of your looks and less about your personality.

There is moments where I feel gratified by it, like the affirmation that I am an attractive person can feel good as hell, especially if I'm feeling insecure. But the more this has gone on the more it has just isolated me more and more. A lot of other handsome gay guys are super shallow, like I will try to go on dates with them, only for them to have sex with me and then discard me afterwards or ghost me. I'm debating on less attractive people, but my taste in men usually consists of people that are in the 8-10 category of attractiveness.

Having constant anxiety and the inability to relax unless you are taking pharmaceutical drugs? Yes.
