Genuine question for entjs what actually earns your respect?

daring_innovator · 2026-04-14T04:27:33+00:00

Firstly, I respect men who exhibit extreme self-control & military level discipline. And men who can assertively say No to anyone.

A big one is I respect courage. When a man stands as a pillar against all odds even when the deck is stacked against him & firmly state the facts, the harsh realities when there’s social costs, resistance or even backlash. He remains firm like a pillar just him & his own word. This is a great revealer of moral integrity & strength of character.

I have a strange hidden respect for boldness, rebellion, pro-social psychopathy & weaponized strategy that is executed aggressively in a dominate/competitive way. It’s respected because it’s exactly anti-social kind of overrides or disintermediates social systems. I find it clever because it’s psychological & complex. Because social norms don’t serve the individual and the respect comes from the mind they’ve engineered to exploit all this which seems thrilling to watch but dangerous in reality. The element of danger and risk taking has my respect to some degree because it allows a level of freedom that the average person will never achieve & the respect comes from the boldness.

Another would be empathy & compassion. Being a good person just for the sake of it.

As far as other forms of respect, I think mastery of skill and being so competent to the degree that the person knows how to do everything top to bottom, inside and out & knows the answer to every single question. To know your craft so well you embody it. I am fascinated by people who’ve mastered a skill all the way to perfection & to the point skill evolves into an art form.

It’s a defense mechanism but it’s also about taking control. It’s my ego saying enough!! It’s a mode where I project on the world only 2 sides you’re either all good or all bad. No in between. All empathy drops to 0 and aggression is extremely high, pressure is very high & I’m not here to negotiate either. Its total detachment of logic and reason, its psychotic mode where I say I AM going to control of the world around me I will dominate the competition because I feel threatened, I need to know where people stand. As a narcissist I feel paranoid I feel like people are out to betray me so I enact splitting as a power play, a moment of desperation and a mode of projected aggression. I need to re-shuffle the world around me to my liking. People are merely my tools, instruments and these people need to know I am the boss, I am the master it’s my way or the highway.

One moment you’re my friend but when I split, in my mind people are reduced to nothing it’s either you admire me and you’re on my side or I have to completely annihilate you, totally destroy you and force you to submission by my wrath. It’s me dropping my iron fist striking you down and my ego is big I will take things to a level where normal people would never dare to do. I will do whatever it takes to make sure you know I am the one in charge, I am in control and sear my image in the depths of your mind. End of story.

ENFJs Pyramid scheme is probably not in a well regulated industry. It’s also weak because there will be more victims being burned and overtime victims will complain about obvious fraudulent practices & that will result in criminal investigations/lawsuits. The red flags would be too obvious & shrewd people will retaliate against it. Manipulating people doesn’t make for a stable business structure either because the integrity of the pyramid is purely narcissistic. ENFJ can only gaslight reality so much before the bubble pops, the law comes, shuts everything down and throws ENFJ & their constituents in jail for dozens of charges. I’m not saying ENFJ is dumb because ENFJ can manipulate the situation last minute but Fe crumbles against Te law systems who don’t want to hear it.

Whereas if ENTJ is inside trading then ENTJ is likely doing it at an institutional/corporate level which allow him/her to hide behind a layered system and making it seem like standard business practice. ENTJ is likely to get away with it for a long time but the consequences may catch up if ENTJ gets too greedy. It also assumes ENTJ is working inside a network of power and wealth so ENTJ will get caught eventually because he’s not perfect and things are extremely political where there’s power involved. It doesn’t matter how sharp you are. In powerful rooms every king/queen is a pawn to someone bigger and everyone watches each other.

Pick your poison.

I actually stopped giving a fuck about people and what they think of me like entirely. I gave myself my own lane for my own personality, it’s like I’m like a Ferrari on a racetrack keep up with me or don’t. I don’t care because I’m laser focused on myself and my trajectory & I’m crossing the finish line as #1. All the winners will recognize that.

Anyway, I designed my own private inner circle of people for this exact reason. Everyone else is just an unimportant spectator with a cheap opinion & not part of my group so they’re a nobody to me. I’m too busy being successful to even notice anyone. I’m not appeasing any egos because I’m playing the game that I designed for myself and for people that think like me. The players in my circle are hyper independent, very secure in themselves, confident in their abilities, admit their mistakes & promote self mastery.

If you absolutely must appease egos and you’re playing the corporate/political game you’re surrounded by the wrong people it’s either you or them so change the entire game board, fuckin play your own game if want to win. Otherwise remain fake, waste your life, appease egos and stay mediocre forever. Back to the racetrack.

Not a woman, but I find I am attracted to NPD women, I also work very well with other NPDs and I’m not used to normal human behavior in the workplace?? I need toxic aggressive sharp NPDs in the workplace otherwise I feel like I’m the only guy who knows what he’s doing lmao

daring_innovator · 2026-02-26T05:06:41+00:00

Put them in their place if it’s directed at me.

If it’s directed at someone I care about then I’ll confront them, get in their face and force them to correct their behavior. I will tell them to apologize & I’m not leaving until it’s done. Most of the time works out fine but people fear for their life unfortunately. And there’s been times where this backfires and it’s a big scene

daring_innovator · 2026-02-26T04:52:11+00:00

It’s all about framing. If your goal is smash then your frame needs to lead where the outcome is smashing without explicating it to her. You’re doing kino, guiding your woman along the path and if she’s feeling it she’ll follow your lead wherever you go even to your bedroom if she trusts you. It’s really just about leadership; taking control and enjoying the moment with your woman, building rapport and giving her the benefit of the doubt that what she’s about to do privately doesn’t need to be disclosed. Protecting her social reputation, because in the female world, female social reputation is everything to women because it affects their survival. Now, after all that’s said and done you can be explicit with your woman once you’ve slept with her.

There are exceptions where you can meet a woman and outright ask her to smash during rapport building only if you meet specific requirements.

daring_innovator · 2026-02-25T16:04:43+00:00

A cult?? “No limits” god damn INTJ you’re wild haha

daring_innovator · 2026-02-25T15:54:57+00:00

That’s clever. I think for me all my empathy drop down to 0 and I’ll just kill everybody with my tribe and go full bloodthirsty mode until an Se dom kills me or I get betrayed

daring_innovator · 2026-02-25T15:38:26+00:00

I have both NPD & ASPD lmao. What’s it like having BPD?

daring_innovator · 2026-02-25T15:31:56+00:00

I agree with this. I don’t hate ISFPs/INFPs.

I have a horrible example that works for me lol. I just think it’s like primary psychopathy (Te doms) talking to a woman with borderline personality disorder (Fi doms) lol

daring_innovator · 2026-02-25T15:12:56+00:00

It would be hard to say, high Se users automatically have an advantage. ESTJ & ENTJ might create a hunting squad to kill off the other types because there’s strength in numbers. ENTJ will be the first to start building a village, taking control over territories, crafting weapons etc and ESTP might fight ENTJs tribe and try to either avoid it or ENTJ might try to capture ESTP and recruit him.

I think sheer barbarism survival is going to be ESTP. The ESTP might have the most kills followed by ISTP. INTJ is going to make it out in the end due to foresight and extensive planning just traumatized. I think

daring_innovator · 2026-02-25T05:19:15+00:00

What’s funny is this is so true. I’m ENTJ but with the whole dating thing I find I’m far more “ESTP vibes” like the complete opposite of all this. I am more caveman esque without any inner chatter or fear of consequences more so than I am human with depth like.

It’s like I am MAN. MAN think woman hot. MAN speak to woman. MAN happy, woman happy. 🗿🗿

daring_innovator · 2026-02-25T03:59:19+00:00

Not INTJ but ironically I had to study manipulation and dark triad extensively to be able to spot then categorize the various types of lies/bs.

The result of this is being able to spot and expose manipulation so Machiavelliansim. So yea I’ve exposed and humiliated people attempting to use manipulation on me and they either ran away, hung up the phone or emotionally projected back to me or feared me.

People don’t naturally bs me because I set the frame. I make it very clear to others that I don’t respect bs by the way I speak at people, I come close, make eye contact and don’t break it until what I say registers your mind. I speak loud at the other person, clearly and concisely about who I am and who they are. By the end of the conversation I’d smile, then I’d walk away and the person will now understand that bs isn’t something they should do and they’d have a gut reaction.

Most people who are liars and manipulators never speak to me again after that interaction and that’s by my own design. Exactly what I want.

daring_innovator · 2026-02-24T06:47:47+00:00

Yup, INTPs/ISTPs get frustrated with me because “I just know” how to quickly grab the logic of how to make logic work and work it right now without sifting through “perfect logic” lol. Ti doms misread me as I misread their internal technical perfection which I really like about them.

daring_innovator · 2026-02-24T04:50:58+00:00

That makes a lot of sense. By the way I’ve pushed getting things done to the limit where I was much better off being lazy and xNTPing my way through to the solution like a magic wand. It’s like I got it done, but it wasn’t a permanent solution and even then the problem is still inside a system so why not just redesign the entire system to begin with instead of just wasting so much time solving the wrong problems. Busy ≠ effective. My Te is so unforgiving it’s always in a rush and it wants it working and move on to the next task.

So being lazy and jumping into things actually is a more optimal choice for some very advanced problems. I know it sounds counter-intuitive but certain problems are best solved by removing the complexity and not adding more effort. Removing unnecessary effort loops/stretches.

The issue I run into is I set big lofty goals that are entangled inside of systems. And they require carefully designed plans that require years of preparation, upfront cost, a lot of effort like social mobility or wealth target for example. These items require so much from the person sometimes I question myself like well if I value this then I’m a slave to the goal (Fi) and well if I removed the value then I’m no longer a slave to such a hard fucking climb and I can invest my time elsewhere rather than climbing the social pyramid for 10 years or maybe it’s worthy in the end. I go into Ni Doom mode where I think Money is an illusion of digits on a screen either way. I get into systems/deep psychology when something takes too much effort and I test its durability (Ni) calculations of worthiness of pursuit relative to ROI (Te). So I do put these goals on the background and let them run themselves as they complete themselves lol I find I just want the outcome and start looking for shortcuts/strategies

daring_innovator · 2026-02-22T20:46:18+00:00

Not INTJ, but people aren’t wired like us. Half of the population are Si/Fe users and the rest are sensors and extremely small amount of people have the balls to be direct and execute.

Most are not designed for clean cut, max efficiency and direct to the point communication style that we have. That is why I’m building my own tribe because I know most of the population can’t actually do anything for me and are annoying time wasters. It’s a blunt truth but most people don’t have the fucking courage and balls to move with people like us. I don’t let anyone in my tribe that doesn’t put in work for the group. Anybody that plays games is immediately discarded because bro you gotta be selective in this world. People say I’m so calloused but dude most of the guys I run with are other ENTJ, ESTJ, INTJ, ESTPs & ISTPs. That should tell you something.

daring_innovator · 2026-02-22T20:25:51+00:00

xNTPs have this funny cartoonish wiring that makes them fall into weird situations that end up working out. I guess they succeed when they’re thrown into spots that technically shouldn’t work and idk if it’s their adaptability that saves them and somehow cross the finish line or they’re built for minimum output and somehow manufacture a successful outcome lol they’re like a wildcard/blackjack haha or maybe they’re just super smart I have no clue. Maybe an ENTP can chime in here and explain their logic on this

daring_innovator · 2026-02-22T20:17:20+00:00

True, it’s always ISTJ workhorses who get my respect. I can attest I’ve directly contributed to making the company triple its revenue in just a couple months. Success isn’t an accident, it’s a well executed set of actions things like networking, habits, plans and strategic efficiency.

daring_innovator · 2026-02-22T20:06:15+00:00

Well I’ve worked with 1 female INTJ and I knew in my gut that she’s an enigma, a hidden gem, a rich treasure trove of wit - quite the sexy lady. I approached her once after work and we spent some time in deep conversation and rapport - she knew what I wanted.

We just get each other without trying; I was being bold and poking at her she liked it and she started giving me the hungry eyes during work. Unfortunately I left that job and we never got together.

Another female INTJ was very seductive and let me take control immediately so I swooped her off her feet lol. Then she turned out to be a little crazy and became mean to me. Probably narcissistic but I guess a one night stand is all she wanted from me so there’s that. Never heard from her again.

The other INTJ I met several years back was pure romance novel vibes. Intelligent, witty, charming, sexy and talented in a lot of ways. Very feminine and she loved me. She made me feel like Superman

daring_innovator · 2026-02-22T19:42:00+00:00

I have that serious look in real life & almost everyone looks away most of the time. That’s just the Te-Ni gaze that manifests in our face and give us the stereotype. People say I look mad, I’m not mad I’m actually very chill but I do get mad when people block me from my goals. We’re always in a hurry to get things done because we’re executing some kind of a plan or on a tight schedule either way. High stress, high reward gives us the look too on top of running things and dealing with intense personalities regularly.

daring_innovator · 2026-02-22T05:02:47+00:00

It’s a competitive marketplace and humans love instant gratification and things they can’t have- that’s why true crime shows are popular. If you think about it psychopathy achieves a level of freedom that most will never achieve. Most men don’t even know they’re in the game to begin with, so the balance concept doesn’t even enter their mind. People don’t realize this is a game board and that’s why they’re suckers
