I'm an INTJ and I'm curious about how ENTJs actually think and experience the world?
I relate to being strategic, independent, future-oriented, and always looking for patterns. I usually think things through before acting, so I'm wondering where ENTJs differ beyond just being more outgoing?
Thanks.
how should i act when an ENTJ gets angry, sad ? please help me guys it s really important for me to know that! : my bf is ENTJ and when he s angry he s being a little bit rude (one day i started a conversation and he wasn t in a good mood, he just looked at me in a bad way and answered coldly: and what ?) also when he gets sad he just avoid talking to me because i think that he doesn t want to show his weakness, as an INFJ i feel really guilty when he doesn t show me his emotions, like he doesn t trust me and i feel like i can t help him because he doesn t even give me the chance to do it. idk if i m doing something wrong; should i insist so he can express more ? what ENTJs want their partner to do when they re feeling that way ? i just want him to feel good !
I think a person's favorite quote can say a lot about how they operate and their world view, so I was curious what other ENTJs' favorite quote (or quotes) are.
Since I remember I felt different from the rest and most of the time I have NOTHING in common with your normal human being. Because of that I learned very easily to not value human connection at all because what is even the point if I gonna be misunderstood most of the time. I learned how to talk with normal people, how to keep shallow conversations but in reality both parties feel no chemistry at all. I don't even keep talking to my family because they are just like the rest and will never trully get me.
I know business is mostly about connections and as long as I focus on another person I'll be safe because there is nothing people love more then answering about themselfs but in everyday life I feel this very heavy weight to find alternative way of life because anything "normal" just isn't for me.
Because I never trully wanted to fit in I developed some traits that helped me become the way I am. I am very "brave" (as I heard) and I stand my ground, I am the first person to help you if you get attacked in public, I felt no shame in public speaking, I am a huge dreamer but also very action oriented person, I always seem to stand out with my outfits, I always loved checking reaserches about anything starting from chemistry to ending up on religion.
I just seem to have this huge resentment towards sheep mentality and how everyone thinks "this is the way it is, you cannot change it", how everyone seem alike in dressing, thinking or even feeling. How nobody does any reseach before making a decision, how everything is mostly based on vibes and instincts, how it is all a specticle of making exacly the same decisions and ending up in exacly the same dead end.
Hi guys, I'm an ISFP and would like to hear how you guys frame + maintain discipline. Specifically, I feel like I'm entering a summer slump as a college student; I have lofty goals of what I want to achieve this summer (such as self-studying a required course so I can test out of it) but am having trouble staying consistent with the schedule I made. I know an obvious piece of advice would be to "just stick to your plan", but I want to hear how you guys approach your work and goals. so instead, can you share some of your mindsets in being so driven and disciplined? ex: pressures you put on yourself, mental cues?
Btw to my own credit I'm not totally bumming out; I'm making progress with my course and working out etc, just at a much slower pace than I wish. Mostly it's because I'm just not feeling a huge pressure in the present - I'm staying home and don't have people around me to study with, compete with, or be inspired by, which is what usually gets me going (plus spontaneous bursts of motivation)
Also feel free to also be like "lock tf in"; that will probably also help (pls not too harsh tho)
Also why are there 9 shares already 😭 are these bots
Hi everyone🌸,
I’m writing a novel, and my protagonist is an ENTJ. I’m not looking for stereotypes or textbook MBTI descriptions, I want real details from your actual life. The little things that make a character feel human.
He’s forced to work closely with someone who’s almost his complete opposite, quiet, emotional, introspective, and stubborn in completely different ways. They challenge each other constantly, and I’d love to write their dynamic as authentically as possible.
I’d love to hear your personal experiences on any of these:
How do you handle it when someone you care about is visibly upset?
How do you show you care without saying “I love you”?
What made you genuinely admire someone you didn’t expect to admire?
What makes you lose respect for someone almost instantly?
How do you react when someone challenges your decisions or authority?
What’s a fear or insecurity you rarely show?
How do you recharge after a draining day?
What’s something people constantly misunderstand about you?
What’s a small habit or quirk you have that almost nobody notices?
What is something you would never say out loud, but wish the people you care about simply understood?
If you read a novel with an ENTJ character, what one detail would instantly make you think, “yep… that’s one of us”?
Feel free to answer just one question or tell me a story that you think captures what it’s actually like to be you. Even small stories or random moments are incredibly helpful. I’m much more interested in real experiences than personality theory.
Thank you! :)🌸
So ive been considering myself an ENTJ for a while now but recently i learned the difference between being someone who is good at social skills and being an extrovert and i seem to fall in the socially skilled category
I want you guys to ask me questions so i can determine weather am an INTJ or ENTJ
I had people including an infp say that a particular entj is scary and intimidating. I think for this reason people give in to their wishes easily. As an intp I never felt this way and also didn’t feel pressure even though they were trying hard to pressure me and intimidate me! The entjs actually look like little balls of fluff and adorable!
I’m making a oc story I need ur guys opinions ENTJ ET(N) LIE-Ni VLFE sx/sp 8w7 853 (sx8, so5, so3) SLOEI Lawful Evil , Chloeric-Melancholic
Wanna listen to ur journey in medicine and whether u have side jobs or thinking about career shifting.
I am at the crossroad and would like to have some advices!!
Personally I think that being a physician is satisfying but not financially satisfying that’s the whole dilemma!! And no problem for someone to seek money to make happiness!!!
Lmk what do u think!
I got my first job ever this summer. And it's so fun? I feel like I was born for climbing the corporate ladder. I just get the game in such a level. (Or so i like to think)
My boss also complimented me a ton. The good kind, not the kind of compliments they say just to get u to do more work.
Like, I just get it.
Anyone else?
Each pill grants you a package of 3 distinct abilities sorted by tiers (T1 > T2 > T3$).You will be fighting Superman in a Death Arena that is about the size of a football field. You have no prep time.
*Each Use of Kryptonite Emission gives you a 5% chance of a fatal heart attack. The emitted kryptonite will nerf Superman for approximately 40 seconds.
Hey ENTJS of reddit, INFP here. I just wanted to say that you're aweful (in the older sense of the word, that I am in awe of you) and very, very scary <3
The Catch for Each Pill:
Pill 1: Staying transformed for over 2 hours permanently overwrites your own mind with theirs. You have to constantly revert to yourself, meaning you can never permanently live a fake life
Pill 2: You must hold your breath to stay invisible. The exact millisecond you take even the tiniest inhale or exhale, you only have 5 seconds until you pop back into plain sight
Pill 3: Triggers an analog/thermal flash revealing your approximate location (100-150 meters off), and leaves you exposed to radiation. The more uses, the more your health begins to deteriorate.
Pill 4: Every jump causes physical exhaustion, requiring a short cooldown. Worse, there is a chance your quantum particles fail to realign, causing you to instantly blip out of existence and die. Your first teleport carries a 0.01% chance of death, and the risk increases by 0.05% with every subsequent use
Which Pill are you Taking?
Need some advice, got an ENTJ that likes to eat one food (currently watermelon) a lot. As in making it 1/4 of a meal every meal. Then gets burn out on it and then goes to the next “healthy” food after may be a year. This has happened with papaya, mucilage (puts it in every dish), banana, okra, and .. too long to list. lol. Is there anything I can say so that meals are more normal?
I’m not sure if you’d call it a formal confession, but I messaged her saying: "Honestly, this is the first time I’ve ever said something like this to a female friend. To be open with you, I’m interested in you; if the feeling is mutual, let’s get to know each other better. But if not, that’s totally fine - I don’t want to put you in an awkward position." She said she felt the same way. We kept chatting after that, but now I don’t know what to do next. We’re both 20 and in the same third-year medical school class. I have no clue... she’s shy, and I’m clueless when it comes to romance. Do you have any advice?
Már egy ideje az Entj (M) párom nincs jól. Igazából ez ilyen életközepi válság, a kapcsolatunkkal nem volt probléma, leginkább a munkájával van/volt, és a céltalansággal, főleg hogy eddig mindig mindent eltervezett. Egyre inkább depressziv állapotba került, próbáltam támogatni, meghallgatni, most elkezdett pszichológushoz járni. Azt hiszem hogy sok ideje én tartottam kettőnk helyett a biztonságot, a teendőket, és már azt érzem nincsenek érzelmeim. Ő viszont egyre érzelmesebb, inkonzisztensebb dolgokban, és folyamatosan az érzelmeivel van elfoglalva, miközben én úgy érzem túlterhelődöm , és már nem tudok az érzelmeimmel foglalkozni, mert erősnek kell tűnnöm, és nem tud támogatni engem ezekben az időkben, mert ő sincs jól. Szóval mindketten átmentünk abba a funkcióba ami a másiknak egy erős területe volt. Más tapasztalt már ilyet?
Just want to let everyone know that i decided to move forward with therapy. Had my first session last weekend. It was very uncomfortable and weird. She said some things that made sense and some things that didn’t. We’re going to try somatic emdr.
Just wanted to say thank you for everyone that’s offered me their support and would like to encourage my fellow ENTJs to get the therapy you need. Invest in yourself. We already know how capable we are. Can you image how much more elite we could be if we didn’t have inner turmoil holding us back? Take care of yourself guys.
