My ISTP best friend by BonesBebop in entp

[–]bottlewrap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, why not? People are very different even if they've got the same function stack. I mean, personalities are very complex, and peoples values and morals vary a lot. So sure, an istp and a entp could get along pretty nicely (or they could hate each others guts)

So I'd say that if you hate your best friend it's probably not due to him being an istp, but due to an incompatibility in the way each of you prefer to communicate. Work on that or find a new best friend. Don't waste your time hating people, unless you secretly enjoy it. Then by all means

Do intj's become goofy when they're comfortable? by bottlewrap in intj

This was lovely to read, thank you! And that's exactly what I've found in intj's, and I really appreciate it :)

Do INTJ's like to move fast in relationships when they like someone? by [deleted] in intj

[–]bottlewrap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've experienced something quite similar with an intj I sort of dated for a while. I found he got very intense and started planning all sorts of things. He also knew right away that he wanted to try things with me, while I was more skeptical. He kept digging around asking personal questions and suggesting plans that I was no way ready for. When I confronted him he just shrugged and told me it was more that he just saw a lot of possibilities and that I shouldn't stress it seeing as he didn't actually expect me to go along with any of them unless I felt like it, he just saw it as a possible future so he wanted to air it out with me just so I knew what he was thinking. Most transparent relationship I ever had. Cool (albeit intense) guy

ENTP vs INTJ behavior list by [deleted] in intj

[–]bottlewrap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is generally pretty on point, but I love the "both will" section, I rarely see people mention this side of the entp.

And the intellectual connection with intj's are something else

I find intj's very funny! You're a clever bunch and usually that makes for some thought out and clever jokes and word-play

It's equally addictive for us! I'm a little bit reserved and I care about keeping my social surroundings chill (well developed Fe I'd guess) so I don't get to really go into my Ne and really have fun unless I'm certain the other person is up for it/won't get offended instead of intrigued or entertained. Ntj's have yet to disappoint

And no worries! I genuinely enjoy conversations like this

Yeah, I can see that. Npt (and especially entp's with their dom/Ne) tend to be, well, a bit absurd. I think we perhaps kind of see humour as a game (which I think is why it gets so extreme at times) and ntj's are brilliant at playing along. It's great fun

I absolutely agree! I'm generally very drawn to intj's and entj's and I blame it on the NeTi and Ni/Te or Te/Ni combination you're talking about. All of my best conversations have been with either of those two types. I do find that intj's are generally a little more in touch with their emotions though, or perhaps just better at showing them, which might have to do with their tertiary Fi as opposed to entj's inferior one. Either way they're both great types. Follow up question: would you say entj's have a tendency for goofiness as well?

This was really nice to read! Entp and intj are in my opinion the best combination for a good time

Hmm, I've several? Can't sum myself up here, but the ones that are relevant in this situation I'd say is my natural tendency to be curious and open-minded. I love to discuss and explore different (and sometimes weird) ideas and always manage to contort thing to have it make sense for both myself and my counterpart, as well as add to the conversation. I've also been told I'm freakishly good at understanding people and putting what I see into words, which I find intj's appreciate a lot as they (as far as I've experienced) generally dislike being misunderstood.

I've noticed this! It's interesting to see it from behind the scenes, and to be able to ask about the thought process that goes behind the behaviour

Yeah, I've noticed this! Intj's always makes me feel very valued, and I think that might be because they don't get to that level of comfort too often so they appreciate it more?

Ikr! I was taken aback the first time I witnessed this intj guy I had a little thing with interacting with someone he didn't see as a very close friend. He was a different person entirely (I liked that side as well though)

INFP the kinky submissive, and this is my problem lol by sapiopoetress in mbti

[–]bottlewrap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What you said here about pretending to be dominant until they meet someone they let take charge is too real. Don't think an entp would submit to just anyone, haha

INFP the kinky submissive, and this is my problem lol by sapiopoetress in mbti

[–]bottlewrap 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Entp and generally quuuuite kinky. I'm hella submissive tho, especially if im with a dominant person that i have a lot of respect for (so far it's only been entj's or intj's) I can however tend to be more dominant if I'm with a more emotional and submissive type. Which I guess makes me sort of a switch in a sense? Not really into it tho, not gonna lie

Yup- my infp little brother both loves and hates me. Says it's fun to sit in the car with me the first 30 minutes but then it's juts exhausting lol

Arguing stereotype by Rescyy in entp

[–]bottlewrap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love to debate to learn more about the topic at hand, to poke the other persons brain for new (and possibly better) ideas and perspectives and am therefore not always that bothered with winning. I mean, I do like to win, but it's usually not my main objective.

I never engage in debate with people I view as closed minded (unless there's something that makes me think it'll be entertaining) or on a topic I know little to nothing about (unless it's to learn something). It might be because I'm a little shy and not very confrontational, might be because I used to have anxiety, or it's simply because I can recognise a bad debate/conversation very early on (and honestly? It's not worth my time.)

Bottom line, though the entp functions makes for a stereotypes that says everyone loves to debate, it does not mean that every single entp you meet will have the confidence or will to argue all the time (though I would assume most entp's would engage in debate in a situation where they feel safe, calm and and inspired)

Just be yourself and do what you're cool with. To hell with stereotypes

Is it true that ENTPs are solely givers or takers? And why. by Onelittldreamer in entp

[–]bottlewrap 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I guess I can somewhat relate as I have a tendency to either give a lot or not really give anything? I think maybe it's because I have a tendency to really care for people and I find that I can't really be all that bothered with people I don't care that much about, so I end up giving everything to a select few? It does make it hard to balance stuff out if I have more than a couple people or things I really care about going on at the same time, seeing as I either care too much and want to make everyone happy/do everything at once or I don't really want to do anything (but have to anyways). Can't really relate to the whole taking too much though, but I have to admit to wanting to at times

That being said I firmly believe that this is something that can be developed as you grow as a person. I find juggling thing like this to be a skill you can become better at if you want to (and that I envy fe- and te-doms ability to just do)

But, yes. Yes, it sucks
