ENTP quote I quite like: "Uncertainty is an uncomfortable position. But certainty is an absurd one." -Voltaire

[@dominoot2652]

I love this, ENFP. It's kind of like peace isn't really peace, because peace implies stability, stagnance. Stagnance is a lack of change, and a lack of change is going to cause restlessness, conflict, and eventual violence. Peace=violence. Peace in reality is a slight lack of peace.

[@gotchathespider7850]

@@dominoot2652 That reminds me of something I had a conversation about a while back. The synopsis is: "Out of order comes chaos, and out of chaos comes order". Not sure how much that statement stands true, but it can be an interesting thing to think about.

[@dominoot2652]

@@gotchathespider7850 sounds like something from that rick riordan series about egypt. Though that's almost definitely not where the sentiment originated, I think that was just part of the theming of those books. Or maybe the legend of korra? Season 2 maybe?

[@gotchathespider7850]

@@dominoot2652 We were talking about Conformal Cyclic Cosmology, how it seems that inside a blackhole would have to be very orderly underthat pressure, but how under the CCC theory that out of that order would come the eventual start of a universe and the chaos of entropy, and there was a little talk of the quote "As above so below" discussing what we see at smaller scales as something of a microchosm of the order breeding chaos breeding order that you'd see under CCC. Like I said, not really too sure how true the statement is, but it can be an interesting thing to think about.

[@dominoot2652]

@@gotchathespider7850 so, you’re saying that black holes are a paradox, because for them to exist, they need to be very structured, but with the immense power of a black hole, that’s unlikely to stay that way. So it’s a case to look at the chaos-order loop?

ENTP here and yeah, the number of times I've embarrassed myself it's HUGE but that's ok I think I'm funny too

[@julyol119]

Yepp. It's like "I failed. Ooooh, noooo! Big deal! Hahaha... Okay, what's next?" I mean, it does hurt to fail, but it's on us how long we dwell on it and how much we allow it to weigh us down. (That excludes anything to do with depression or deep rooted anxieties and stuff, of course. There's no shame in neeeing help!) What weirds me out to no end is how sometimes others seem to be unable to accept how easily we can just accept failure or embarrassment and move on. They then make a bigger deal out of it, then we do and think we must be arrogant or emotionless for it, when we're just okay with the consequences of our actions. At least that's what I see in healthy, developed ENTPs.

[@richsackett3423]

But be honest. You had to learn how to do that. That isn’t a tool that comes with the set.

[@julyol119]

@@richsackett3423 I think it's more like we can't not try, we're super curious after all. And thus we fail a lot and embarrassment just loses it's horror somewhere on the way. We didn't die, the world didn't end, most people have forgotten about it as soon as they stopped looking at us. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@onhan3803]

@@julyol119 I agree !! I also think we don't care about the embarrassment that much because eventually it gets easier to realize that people probably won't remember it in the future, just like us. We don't remember all the times someone did something embarrassing in front of us in the past or we just don't mind anymore, right? The same goes for them, they'll probably forget too, so... there's many other things to worry and think about rather than get stuck in the embarrassment (of course there could be exceptions) but i would say that's part our Ne, acting unconsciously again.

[@VYMQGSOH]

That's not a good way to live if people can't handle the way you would like to be treated and don't do to others what they wouldn't like. I live by, seek, and hold myself to such greater, intense, complex and sometimes even contradicting ways that requires myself to go through uncommon experiences, having the complete opposite perspective and beliefs than others, i want life to be difficult and full of suffering for what it produces and much more. Most people don't want to be treated or go through what i do. Most people love what i hate and hate what i love. Most people want what i see as garbage and they see as something to cherish. Honestly, i haven't met anyone who would even agree with even a quarter of what i want, believe, value, don't want, etc. So actually, there was a time i did what you say you go by, and that caused many problems. I thought as a child we're all humans, we all eat and do many similar activities, so surely we must think and feel the same, but no. I realized they need to be treated the way i don't want to be and they need to not be treated the way i do. This has helped me keep peace and get along with others. They're only going to come to even one of the ways i want to be treated once they experience a difficult life full of intense suffering that they would even be capable of truly understanding why i have such an uncommon way of living and being. For example, something as simple as saying you had a female manager who commanded you to clean the floor in the store and you say, "yes, ma'am!" But there's actually women out there who hate being treated that way. There are some who demand you call them by their name or just not even treat them with high respect. There's some who will become furious if you even clean the floor and respond saying "yes" but you don't say "ma'am." So if you were someone who wanted that respect, some others would dislike it much that you treat them the way you want to be treated. My spouse is an INFP, and she's realized i don't like to be treated the way she does, and what helps her actually damages myself most the time. If we treat everyone based on ourselves, we clearly don't get that not everyone lived, grew up or went through the same things. Experiences do take a high impact on how we will think, feel, want, hate, believe, etc. If one person has loving parents and lives in a rich house with a successful family who highly respects each other, but another person has hateful abusive parents doing meth and has nothing else going for them, these 2 people as children arent going to grow up wanting the same thing, at least not for quite awhile. In fact it could be the opposite. After all, there's 16 personalities here, do we all want the same thing and feel the same way and want to be treated the same? No. Like i remember a meme, ESFP: How can you be okay always being alone? INFP: How can you be okay always being with a lot of people?

ENFP quote that I think captures our wonder and our darkness: "Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let the pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness.

INFP here - as I get older, the more willing I am to take paths that deviate from the norm. I used to be highly conscious about how my actions would be perceived; now I just live life for myself and don't seek to be understood by everyone. My current motto as of 2020 is "it is what it is". It helps me stay grounded to the current reality and make the most of it instead of drifting off to Narnia haha. So many of these quotes are so fitting! I can hear my ISTJ dad basically saying your words (learn from your mistakes, don't repeat them, use "common" sense, etc). And the ESTJ quotes were basically my former workaholic ESTJ boss in a nutshell (streamlined efficiency, doing the work that other people don't want to do).

9:01 is so incredibly accurate for me as an INTJ. I tend to make others angry all the time without ever expecting it. I just don't understand how people can get so furious. I've also recognized that a lot of people care so much about revenge, sometimes even going out of their way to mess with others. When you think about it though, what does revenge do? I'm pretty sure it's just what people do to cope with their anger. So yeah this quote is pretty accurate to me because I've never cared about revenge or that kind of stuff.

[@Slayer3264]

What revenge does is provide satisfaction, and sometimes you also get to give an asshole what they deserve. Sometimes you're the asshole. It doesn't matter in either case, there's no karma. People only get what they deserve in the sense of how well they play the game. So, revenge is as valid a goal as any. How far you take it is entirely up to you. For me (also INTJ) it usually dissipates pretty quickly. But there are a few cases where eroding someone's happiness, even if your only option is to do it bit by tiny bit, just becomes part of your everyday routine. Is it the most productive use of one's time? No, of course not. So what?

[@dominoot2652]

An ENFP quote I love to live by is "It is important to draw wisdom from many different places." I found many of the other's types quotes infinitely more interesting than the one for ENFP, because I love to see the wisdom of others. Combine them. Use them as lenses. Look at the world through each one, see what cool effects there are. Look at the world and overlap the lenses, and see how those effects compound on each other. In other words, meta analysis in every facet of life. Edit: quote is by Iroh from ATLA.

As an INTJ, this quote from Batman Begins is one that I live by because it resonates with me extremely deeply: "A vigilante is only a man lost in the scramble for his own gratification, he can be destroyed or locked up.

[@leagueaddict8357]

@Ryan KHENAK If you tell me you are going to do something and then you don't I see that as weakness, we tend to not say that we are going to do something unless we already thought it through a lot and made that decision, I don't just do it because I want to, I have a strong sense of morality and we ISTP's are confident in our abilities, and what you are refering to isn't something that really applies to ISTP's, just you telling us that you don't think it's a good idea holds very little to no value, you can't invade our thinking process you are outside of it and if you want to know something just ask.

[@leagueaddict8357]

​@Ryan KHENAK ​ @Ryan KHENAK You can't disagree with a fact, the grass is green it only has 2 exceptions which are when emotionally immature or under influence of substances. If you do not follow that rule every ISTP you will ever meet is going to think of you as unworthy of respect. My definition of immoral is cp/burglary/theft/bestiality/neglect/cybertheft/rape/violence/holding people at gunpoint/depriving someone of sleep/lying. Basically, most of those things are crimes and there are exceptions such as self-defense or saving someone's life. I may have forgotten some, but do not assume because I don't take kindly to that if you have to do any of those things to save someone's life you are in a pretty bad scenario.

[@JokerCrowe]

I'm INFJ and I agree with your assessment of the INFJ empathy; I think Introverted Intuition is good at imagining abstract things like thought patterns, and with Fe we can extrapolate the feelings and thoughts of others through the thought process. Also I really like the quote "a ship in port is safe; but that's not what ships are built for". Not because it represents me, but maybe my ESTP mirror/shadow; the person I wish I could be sometimes.

[@ZNIR777]

Definitely resonate with "the person I could be sometimes".

[@theultimatedisciple7974]

You have ESTP subconscious.....train it. Put yourself in situations where the ESTP will shine and the INFJ won’t. You’ve gotta realise that INxJs have the easiest 4th function to develop. It’s literally just being aware/being able to act of the environment in a more timely fashion. When you go into these modes you’ll notice when you’re heavily focused on something in the physical and you get that little whisper that guides you and you just do it without hesitation....that’s Ni inferior slot setting the small target for the extraverted sensing hero.

[@ZNIR777]

As an infj, personally life motto means a quote that motivates me instead of something true about myself, so while the quotes here are something I can resonate a lot to, I wouldn't say it's my life motto. I've seen other infjs commenting similar life mottos of theirs to mine, and they are something along the line of "if they can do it, I can too." / "fake it til you make it." I find it funny how our life motto is to just go out there and do it because we know that our grand scheme won't succeed otherwise lol.

[@theminors2]

As an INTP, my favorite quote is this one from Hegel; "Everything depends on grasping and expressing the ultimate truth not as Substance but as Subject as well."

[@whitneyd6827]

I'm in full agreement with these quotes for ENFJs. We're always thinking that way but we don't often say it since our intuition is introverted. My personal life motto that I live by is "it will work out because it has to." I find it strangely comforting to know that I simply won't allow things to not work out, and if they don't it just means that the story isn't over yet.

I simply prefer to stay on my own and do the stuff that I must do alone. But don't misunderstand, that's not a narcisistic tendency I care of people's feelings, but just of the ones of my family and close friends. Isaac Newton actually was an INTJ, considering that he literally didn't have Extraverted Feeling, but that's not an excuse for toxic INTJ behavoir, such as arrogance.

[@BuizelCream]

As an INTJ, I have been treating people's emotions as something interesting to study lately, but also lately I have come to realize the methods I have of understanding other's emotions better is flawed. If an emotion doesn't like up with a particular predictable pattern of reasoning, it confuses the heck out of me. xD I often have to come up with "theory patterns" of how emotions play out by treating emotional problems through emotional reassurances. Then I test these theories through trial and error.

Well, as an ISTJ, who stuck in Si-Fi loop and Ne grip in years and figured it out how to get up, "Mistakes are often the greatest teachers" is true for my past mistakes, faults, flaws that teaches me, grow me up. And now I healed, "The grass is greener where you water it" is about my future, my engineering major, how i have to start from scratch my own, to work restlessly, I want to be in that state of work and flow, where I can see results and meaning of my work.

[@broadbandtogod]

INFJ: Minimize movement through a correct understanding Sure, we are empaths, but the group often stresses us out, just as much as it stimulates. Empathy is worthless if the resources are scarce. Therefore managing and mastering the reality becomes a much higher priority than "just" feeling with others, which is where we are weak. If there is no problem, there is no problem to feel bad about.

[@A5H_01]

Autistic INFP here. The quote is so relatable to me! Not many people can understand where I'm coming from most of the time, as if my thought process or things I like to do are alien to them. It's refreshing to know that just because something isn't understood, it doesn't mean it's got lesser validity. I think it was Marie Curie who quoted (roughly) "Nothing is to be feared, it is only to be understood.". Any other INFPs or Autists related to this quote too?

[@NoOne-wt6om]

I'm INFP but I agree with the ISFP's the most.

Quote for INFPs that I love, “All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Me An INTP: “No one knows the universe be like it is.. but it do.”

[@PriHL]

I just loved listening to the ESTJ quotes. That's probably why I like working with them, they're absolutely no-nonsense people. However the first INFJ one doesn't ring so much true for me, I guess I'm just not that much of a super-empath, I very well empathise with someone else's feelings and thoughts but I also know which ones are mine and which are someone's. But the blurring of one's own and foreign feelings into one is something super-empaths are capable of. I agree with fear being the price of imagination - because we see the consequences far into the future, we can get scared of them, contrary to people who cannot foresee certain things (literally don't see it coming). But I don't think we're scared of our own thoughts, at least I am not. I think it has something to do with the detachment INFJs can display. We're scared of the negative things we foresee for the future (and unfortunately we're mostly right), not of that we have thought about it.

I relate so much as an ENTP to being "philosophically attached to uncertainty." As well as having the overwhelming urge to challenge anyone who states something with absolute certainty. I view open ended and/or paradoxical philosophical questions and paradigms as incredibly stimulating and part of what makes life so enjoyable for me.

[@mirriyastia7041]

INTJ here (maybe a bit INTP, but still). Strongly agreed with the Nietzshe's quote - emptiness inside really demotivates, and the problem is how to fill this hole, how to find something proper, something worth dedicating your life to, when the life has so many occupations, with some of them beneficial and some of them not really. But the Newton's quote resonates with me weaker, as I presume THERE ARE methods to understand people and even to predict their behaviour, BUT that's not what I, as INTJ, would count as worth wasting my time for. People are dirty species, you know. Best to get rid of them. (That's a joke, ofc, but every joke has a part of joke.)

Hello Nathan, I just wanted to point out that the "Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future" quote was originally penned by St. Augustine long before Oscar Wilde. Common misquote! Now, on to the rest of the video... Edit: great one! Loved the Tolkien quote :)

INFP here. I always say to myself “If you understand yourself, don’t worry if others don’t understand you.” Being misunderstood by yourself is the worst thing that can happen to you.

[@blank_uta7174]

Mine is kinda similar. "No one cares about me and i don't care about anyone." This have a negative sad lonely sound to it but that's not it. It just means, for example: no one cares about the way i dress myself and i don't care about the way other dress themselves. Everyone is so busy thinking about what others think of them, that no one is actually thinking about anyone but themselves.

[@Agnes-ql1xh]

As an INTP, something that I taught myself when I was feeling out of control was "life isn't an algorithm. We can't predict our future actions based on our past actions BECAUSE humans are unpredictable. We can and do change. We decide the outcome." And in the end we feel out of control because we can see ourselves doing the worst. We're all afraid of ourselves because we've given ourselves reason to be. But we aren't on loop.

[@BL00DYR0S31]

The thought of it just gives me more anxiety. I just try to distract myself long enough for me to actually forget otherwise I’d go into a depressive cycle and I’d rather not go down that hole. I realize that’s not healthy but I’ve never been a very optimistic person and pessimism is my default state.I’m just trying not to go off the deep end here.😅

[@swahamchakraborty7990]

I do think that life has an algorithm. But as Alan Turing demonstrated, a machine within a machine cannot predict the total outcome. We are participants in the cosmic play, not detached observers (and indeed when you observe something you immediately have a relation to that thing), and so our actions do shape the development of the play. But that does not mean that the play does not have a script or variations of scripts - an INTP

I enjoy your videos more than any other Myers-Briggs personality-focused channel. You have a great grasp on the essential qualities of each personality and their cognitive functions... After watching many of your videos, I am convinced I am more of an ENTJ, rather than the type I usually test as, which is INTJ... I just enjoy your in-depth, logical, yet sensitive approach. You seem to have great insights into all types and present it in a way that is concise, understandable, and useful.

If you know Stray Kids, you’d agree that its whole discography is highly ENFJ, ENFP, and a heavy dose of ISTPish word play. The leader Bang Chan is imo 100% positive ENFJ as a person and as a leader/creative mastermind in the group. Dark rapper/producer Changbin’s lyricism and life outlook is so very ENFP. Lyrical rapper/producer Han’s quick mind reflex is the best manifestation of an ISTP (who is also surprisingly in tune with his inner emotional map that many ISTPs don’t show to the world). Other member that stood out very much like his MBTI is its dance leader Lee Know. What he often said in taping and in print is so ESFJ-like it’s like a textbook,

as infj a quote i live by is the one i got from my late father; "if you choose to do something or act a certain way, you are responsible to bear the consequences or see it through. you don't get to complain mid-way." this kinda switch-on my "went all-in or nothing at all" kind of mindset. sometimes it's not good to be that way and i still struggle to find balance. but idk, i still hold on to that words. at least on the social 'playground' it's useful in a way that i do not act or say stuff willy-nilly.

[@Takisan111]

As an INFP that did compromise my individuality to try to blend in with others, Nathans right, it was a mistake. Suffering from an identity crisis around the same time as my quarter life crisis was pure hell. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. It's no wonder I became extra sensitive to criticism or "helpful life advice". I also developed a deep routed hatred for the phrase "I'm sorry you feel that way." My feelings were perfectly valid considering where my head was and what certain people were trying to fill it with. I spent so much time pushing my feelings aside to please others, just once, it was my turn to feel what was best for me. Hey so whenever I think about this sort of stuff, I start crying. Should I be worried about that? It's seriously not fun and can be really embarrassing if it happens during the day.
