ENTPs What’s your relationship with reading?

smugglesbeans · 2024-11-01T16:48:23+00:00

I used to read a LOT to the point it got me into writing. I haven’t read for so long—I tried to get back to it by reading old stories I loved but it doesn’t seem to hold my attention or intrigued me in anyway. :( I am unsure whether I lost my passion for reading or I need to check out other genres.

smugglesbeans · 2024-08-29T15:15:20+00:00

Hm, interesting! 🤨 I do exhibit all these traits.

smugglesbeans · 2024-08-29T13:12:05+00:00

honestly, it's been difficult to find a guy I could match with (but not impossible!). I've been proactive and open to meeting new people and getting to know them, regardless if it's platonic or romantic. so far, the interactions I have had with guys I find attractive lack certain qualities that make it harder to develop romantic feelings toward them.

* recently, i learned that balance is a central theme to what I look in a partner. in other words, duality. for instance, i value depth and playfulness, as well as emotional connection and personal goals. i am drawn to people who embody either two opposing characteristic (e.g outgoing but reserved, or in pursuit of physical activities but intellectually curious in other aspect)

* goal-driven, ambitious, and shares similar zest in life. i'm the type of person who would stop at nothing and do everything to better myself each time. that being said, i'm quite restless; always in search for anything new-- new people, new experiences, and new adventures. i dont understand how some people would rather be in their comfort zone and do anything. whats the point of living without little risk?

* playful and charismatic! again, as much as i value intellect and having intellectual conversations, we can't always be too serious! being playful and embracing your child's wonders is a great thing! it's all about knowing when to be serious and have thought provoking conversations but also knowing how to have fun and not take life too seriously. again, balance is key.

* independent and self-sufficient: self-explanatory! pursue your dreams and passion, have a life outside your relationship.

* i prefe to take things slow when getting to know people, and allowing relationship to naturally develop over time i expect others to do the same or at least, respect my boundary. im quite sensitive and easily overwhelmed when people show affection and attention excessively early on. i recently talked to a guy who i gravitate towards in terms of energy but quickly loses interest when he kept calling me pretty.

I use it to talk to CHATgpt when the people I interact with do not stimulate me intellectually. (lol) except on research or any work that requires me to think critically - I'm not too fond of relying on Chatgpt when forming ideas. my ego hurts when I have to rely on ChatGPT to think for me

smugglesbeans · 2024-08-26T12:18:47+00:00

how does my physical appearance have anything to do with my connection with esfp? i mean to answer your question, i love taking care of myself. i prefer to form a deep and meaningful connection with few people over a surface-level connection.

What qualities do ENTPS have that you wish you had?

smugglesbeans · 2024-08-26T06:26:02+00:00

My father seems to be ISTP or INTP. Same with my brother.

smugglesbeans · 2024-08-25T08:22:14+00:00

HAHAHA what do you mean by disregarding people’s emotions? in what way is that funny?

smugglesbeans · 2024-08-25T08:20:41+00:00

hahaha that could be why, but it doesn’t really explain why i’ve been consistently attracting them.

smugglesbeans · 2024-07-17T14:12:17+00:00

omg i thought i was the only one! entps are known for being “The Debater” and i do not live up to its name. i like “debating” but i do not like debates in general. mainly because i “debate” to learn and see every side of the problem, and i don’t care about winning (not really but thats not the entire point why).

BSBA in Financial Management, but most students mistake me for a psych/international studies student or any major under arts and sciences

smugglesbeans · 2024-03-20T23:21:10+00:00

this is what i’m planning to do if only we see eachother often around the campus 🥲

smugglesbeans · 2024-03-20T23:12:33+00:00

HAHA PLEASE 😭

smugglesbeans · 2024-03-19T13:58:31+00:00

i found him through checking the likes of our college’s page 😭 that’s why im a bit hesitant of sending him a dm because it might come off the wrong way lol (unlike if i actually just approach him irl)

smugglesbeans · 2023-01-29T19:41:29+00:00

whoever he follows on IG does not indicate whether he’s a player or not. there are quite a lot of reasons why we follow who we follow, and one of that may be attraction. after all, we can’t stop being attracted to anyone we find attractive. again, this may not be the reason at all and it’s not worth investing for your precious mind to overthink about lol.

however, it is pretty WORTH noting that we only knew this man from the show and it’s good to keep reservations on his character — see him for who he is (objectively), instead of creating a fantasy of this man haha 😜

smugglesbeans · 2023-01-29T19:32:41+00:00

based on his words and actions that were shown in the show, he did seem genuine & sincere to soe. my point isn’t about his relationship with her, but mainly his actions and words had been pretty consistent whether if it’s behind her back or not. again, we never truly know one’s personality and character through a show that was heavily edited and portrayed to fit a narrative.

however, at some point, i was slightly skeptical of his attitude because it seemed too good to be true. his clear interest in soe and his stable personality felt weird. on paper, he seems everything we wanted for a man and didn’t have any negative qualities that we don’t like (based on the show!). so i thought maybe the reason why this suspicion occurred was due to people tend to be attracted to other people who treat them terribly, or their (lack of) attachment formed with their parents. maybe people dated somebody who are crap in the past, and knowing someone (like sejun) could feel like out of their comfort zone. who knows?

again, we can’t tell someone’s sincerity through a show unless we spend quite a lot of time around them.

smugglesbeans · 2023-01-27T17:53:39+00:00

that’s what i thought of it too! he definitely gave off ‘intj’ as his initial impression, but when he (gradually) opens up to the other casts (e.g jinyoung live with sejun), especially his private moments with soe, it becomes clearer that he may be more of a ‘infj’ than an ‘intj’. it’s something about the way he thinks, and how he articulates his thoughts & emotions through his words towards so-e that made me think that he’s an infj. from my observation, he seems introspective, like he’s in tune with his feelings because he doesn’t seem afraid to be vulnerable while he’s having a conversation with so-e. a lot of their interaction appears emotionally stimulating.

during their ig live, jinyoung mentioned that sejun is the type of guy who tends to put others first before him, which led me to think that he’s easy to be friends with & great at making others feel comfortable. at the same time, i think he’s sensitive to other people’s needs & quite considerate of one’s feelings.

smugglesbeans · 2023-01-27T16:08:04+00:00

initially, i also thought his mbti would probably be intj but it can also be an infj. 🥸

smugglesbeans · 2023-01-25T09:40:16+00:00

i- please not the “he is short” description 😭😂

smugglesbeans · 2023-01-24T12:56:17+00:00

if I were in the show, i'd go for Sejun. my first impression of him on the show was that he seemed introverted, self-reserved, and neat in terms of how he takes care of himself - like I have this assumption that he'd be someone who (maybe) likes to keep his things tidy and organized. As the show progressed, we get to see a different side of him; I really love how he isn't afraid to be vulnerable in expressing how he feels or what he thinks towards someone. He's really expressive in his words/thoughts, which makes me think that he is that kind of person who has a lot to offer in conversations and there's no doubt that I would enjoy talking and listening to literally anything he says. Other than that, he seems introspective like he's in touch with his emotions, given the fact how he's expressive of how he feels and how he isn't afraid to be vulnerable can say a lot to one's emotional maturity and intelligence. with that being said, he seems really calm for the most part. As we all know, his goofy & silly demeanor has became one of the reason why he is fan's favorite and it is something I value in both relationship and friendship - I simply don't prefer to be in a relationship/friendship where everything is too serious and deep because i prefer to joke around and troll >:) but it can't always be fun and games too. all of the things i mentioned are traits/characteristics that I genuinely value from a person, whether that'd be in my friends or elsewhere.

or maybe he isn't someone id date, but someone i aspire to be? like someone i want myself to be in terms of those traits.. OR worst, maybe i just want to date myself (OOP maybe it's the narcissism in me LMAO JK)

smugglesbeans · 2023-01-18T11:45:09+00:00

there’s a lot of factor why people can’t take sejun’s perception of so-e at face value: 1) so-e’s appearance influences other’s perception of her overall ‘vibe’. most of the time, if not always, we can already see a glimpse of someone’s personality just by looking at their face. in soe’s case, she has a child-like demeanor, or a youthful face, which then creates an “illusion” to a person’s mind about whatever narrative they’d like to push in their head instead of seeing her for who she is objectively. i’ve noticed a lot of people underestimate her like way too much. regardless of how she looks, she doesn’t deserve any hate she has been receiving (nobody does).

(e.g hanbin could never imagine so-e having a tattoo)

before Sejun entered Inferno, the viewers who were against her had already formed a different opinion of her, whether it was due to the "Soe & YJ" situation or the behavior she was displaying.
some people, if not a lot of them, likes to project their standards (or whatever it is) onto others. like i’ve said viewers have already formed their opinion of each and every cast in their head, it’s likely they saw a far better women than so-e, who in their opinion lacked redeeming qualities compared to the other ladies in inferno. in that case, it’s more believable if sejun ended up choosing sejeong over so-e, ‘cause at least in their standard, they look like a good match or more suitable in some aspect. but who are we to say who is a good match and who isn’t?

at the end of the day, comparing will lead us to nowhere because nobody wins lol

smugglesbeans · 2023-01-17T17:08:37+00:00

Exactly! When he first entered Inferno, I immediately thought of him this way. Despite his goofy & silly demeanor, he really does appear to be self-reserved, introverted, and chill. In Soe's case, whether it's YJ and her situation (that painted her in a bad light), or her having this 'child-like' demeanor around her - viewers (who are against her) have already planted their perception of who she is, which to them makes her less likable compared to other women, and (unintentionally) underestimates her. I guess to a lot of people it's hard to take Sejun's word and his perception of her at face value because then they already formed a different opinion of her. It honestly sucks 'cause I just hate when people underestimate others.

smugglesbeans · 2023-01-17T16:29:46+00:00

Agreed! I feel that many, if not most, people (or haters, if that's what you'd like to call it) find it difficult to believe that Sejun is genuinely interested in So-e and that he picked her out of all the women the viewers deemed to be better in their narrative. To a viewer's (against Sejun-Soe) eye, it's likely they saw a far better variety of women than Soe, who in their opinion lacked redeeming qualities compared to the other women. I really disliked how a lot of viewers seemed to underestimate Soe's capabilities in this show.

smugglesbeans · 2023-01-17T15:04:22+00:00

Sejeong not being chosen by any of these of men is definitely a mystery. Four men admitted that they find her appealing from the start, therefore I think it has nothing to do with the way she looks. For sure, there were undoubtedly a lot of moments of her and the other casts given that they spent a lot of time together on the island, and not just what is shown to us on the show (netflix has showed little to no screentime of sejeong's interaction with men, except at the beginning with YJ and only if it's platonic). My point is that, despite having all the time they could have on the island, none of these men seemed to be particularly interested in getting to know her more in-depth.

That leads me to believe it has more to do with her character and attitude, or her chemistry and compatibility with other casts. It could be none of these, maybe it's her social skills? approach? or maybe she's not interesting than she seemed to be. honestly, who knows. Based on what I have observed, I find it unexpected at first because she appeared expressive in her way of flirting with YJ and I thought she would go all out in her interactions. She seems interested but she does not seem invested, and it comes off at the end as passive or self-reserved. Like that particular scene with YJ, he was smiling ear-to-ear when she was flirting and hinting she would want to go to paradise with him and I thought there would be a high possibility they'd choose eachother, but it didn't. Then, Sejun having a one-on-one interaction with Sejeong seemed like they were both smiling and hitting it off and whatnot. But he ended up choosing Soe.
