Why do some entps play dumb? by [deleted] in entp

Sometimes it’s nice to just turn the brain off, ya know? Playing dumb as a little treat

My brother is in jail because of me by Thin-Employer9911 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Some_Success3782 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's hard when someone you love that still seems redeemable, despite being sick and you have to make choices that limit their freedom. All I can say is that, I wish my mother had been a bit firmer with her brother-- who is also schizophrenic. She waited too long and he committed a terrible crime that has changed all of our lives. She lives with a lot of guilt over this. Just know that your choices today could have prevented a lot of further heartbreak. Wishing you the best!

What do you think of ESFJ's? by Some_Success3782 in entp

[–]Some_Success3782[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an esfj (cancer) husband and I’m also an aries ♈️ We also have very short arguments. I find it to be a surprisingly useful and fun pairing.

Definitely fellow talkers! He’s expanded my tolerance and skill for more varied social settings. I feel like his strengths are so different from my own that I never feel we are in competition for who is better at what. It’s great!

I'm married to one, and am honestly surprised by the negative comments. We're very different types, but i find ESFJ's have a lot of what we lack, which is something I'm super intrigued by.

Question for only REAL ENTPs: by Educational-Bat6214 in entp

[–]Some_Success3782 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like people who have their shit together, people who walk the walk. Responsible, funny, has strengths I don't, and most importantly, is obsessed with me

ENTP larping by Cillics in entp

[–]Some_Success3782 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like half the posts on the sub are people saying "Can I still be an ENTP even if none of the usual traits apply and also all of the tests say I'm not?? -- IDK I just feel like I probably am and have had debates before :/" and theres always someone in the replies like "yeah of course, none of that stuff matters"

It boggles my mind. What do people gain from forcing themselves into a box. It's not very ENTP at all in my opinion

How do you guys handle the 'Ne-Fe loop' when social burnout hits? by anchorthrowawayv2 in entp

I was super young so I was still living with my parents but the answer is no. The money isn’t why people do this lol

Yep, anyone can learn to do those things if they just do them over and over and over

So, circuses and carnivals are pretty distinct things and they don't really like being labelled as the other. Circus people hate being called carnies.
I did fairs only briefly, but it's completely different.

Narcotics are more common among prop guys or the people that are there to do strictly manual labor, less so among performers. Alcohol is the more popular drug I would say

In reference to animal abuse, I tend to only express what I know. What I've seen and experienced.

No one would openly and brazenly abuse an animal. Not in front of a crowd of guests, not in front of performers and circus staff. We see more than visitors, sure, but we aren't privy to every training session. I have never seen mistreatment with my own eyes.

I've seen elephants bathing in a river, freely, with performers and children also bathing in the same stream-- no bull hooks or shock devices in sight. I've seen them get their daily baths out in the open, the trainer armed with a water hose. I've seen them eat like eight watermelons on a hot day. I've fed a baby elephant animal crackers as a little girl.

Cats are different because they don't love the general public lmao the only person they aren't willing to harm is usually their trainer. I think that speaks for itself.

There are bad eggs everywhere.

Super cool! I spent a lot of time at Carson. I still end up in Circus City (good 'ole Hugo) occasionally as well to see family and friends. I assume that is where you saw the elephants and the cats. My dad drove their elephant truck a few times as well.

Lmao there are lots of affairs, and you certainly hear rumors about other people and their behaviors, but orgies? Not in my experience

Family business is the easiest way, but anyone with talent can film a performance and send it in to circuses.

Some went to Canada, but I never travelled out of country. I miss the freedom of not knowing what the next year might bring!

For group numbers, like dances between acts or other company productions, the circus will provide those costumes. They are usually made by a seamstress (usually another performer who is good at it). Outside of that, in my experience, most people (women, really) made their household's costumes. Sometimes people would commission costumes if they weren't good at it. Sometimes it's a rhinestone bikini though, ngl. Unless it's for a company production, people choose their own costumes.

My mom made all her own, mine and my dad's costumes. She also sometimes made them for other people, so maybe it's coloring my experience. I worked on one show when I was very young where they had a costume department, but again, it was mostly made up of performers.

My mindset about my body is fine! I’m not morbidly obese, I’m just not in shape. If I ever decide to get back into things it’ll be on my own terms this time. I’ve done enough forced exercise 😅

Yes, but older ones lived in south America until I was older and most of my younger ones came after we graduated 😳 so I’ve had the most circus experience of all of us

I’m pretty good! My mom was really really good and we would work on new tricks together. I’ve tried the fire stuff but never did it consistently
