[@infinitysconcinnity2418]

You actually could 'think' that you are spending lots of time alone, but in reality, you could be twiddling your thumbs, thinking about the next strategy to focus on, the next person to help, or the next way to make an impact. You could be doing that alone for hours (days/months/years) on end.....but that alone will NOT engage your Fi. What it takes is literally a ton of self-care. A ton of putting yourself and your needs as #1. Anything less than that will lead you, over and over again, to the identical unresolved outcome.

Thanks for clarifying this. As an ENTJ I been mad to figure my self out to make the most of it and I hate struggling with things so I’ve found clever ways sound them. But if I were better balanced they can be better handled and get even better results and not me feeling like wtf. I have found everything out the hard way till I found MBTI this comment helped me straighten out my train of thought. Appreciate the help!

[@xuanius]

...so there is a reason for the monthly bouts of “I should just kill myself because no one needs me anyways” I always feel like the best way to solve that problem is to become so objectively useful that it’s an undeniable fact that I am not in fact worthless. But the downside is that anytime you make a mistake, all your self worth comes crumbling down.

[@hirumakazeko]

I feel you. Here's my Fi rant for all you care. I know that 90% percent of my 'friends' befriended me because I am smarter than everyone there, and they want only my knowledge and time. I do care about them, especially their future and their goal. However, what if I weren't a smart guy? Of course I will have nothing. They will leave me eventually. And that's why I strive to be the smartest or even intellectual, so I can have place where I belong to in society. But thank God I have matured. The only solution is to be selfish for a while, and know my limit on others so I won't force them any further. They will leave, but I am relieved to know that I can't please everyone. PS : ENTJs also have feeling. ENTJs also human who need loves.

I love that you revealed this aspect about the ENTJ. Finally, someone needed to say it. I have ENTJ and ESTJ uncles who are always trying to fix something for me, running off to do something else for someone else, or hosting get togethers. The amount of EFFORT they put into other people gives this ENFJ a run for her money. I rarely get off my ass to drive across town for someone else but I might text are call “omgggg are you ok?? How can I help” but Te dominants actually DO something (if they do care, that is)

[@arlettasloan6453]

I had a similar experience. I saw the descriptions of ENTJs as power hungry, non-caring, workaholics who freaked if they went off schedule and that is basically 100% not me. Though, I do tend to work a lot and I would love to HAVE a schedule.

[@WienantoTanuwidjaja]

I’m an ENTJ. This is true. I’ve been doing things for myself, improving my self, working and loving my self, do things you love for you. It will change your life. Stop doing things for other for the sake for the “likes”, do things for others when others need and ask for it. The best is to do things for the world where people needed it and ask for it from you.

I thought it was a mental health condition but also concerned it's just my personality. Turns out it's my personality. But learning to strengthen the opposite muscle is a hopeful idea. The idea of having to do more self care makes me gag a little, frankly. Took me years to realize self love is not 100% a joke, that people actually feel that. I'm moving towards that slowly, because desire to survive. But fuck me if it isn't painful. No idea if I'll figure this out. Trying.

[@BIGGELATO]

It's crazy, it's like you're describing me. I could help someone achieve greatness and/or see so many work on themselves rather than others, and that's where I go, "wtf, why don't I love myself and take care of myself and my health like they do, just like the rest of these people?" People take such good care of themselves, their body for example, and I don't give 2 craps about my body but care about my future and knowing and planning out a future with a wife and kids and building a legacy, a conglomerate company, all sorts of things but when it really comes to me, I'm like settled in my mind, i don't care nor need anything really, I don't truly see the purpose behind it all. Then I start doubting myself, and when that happens with time it pressurizes into fears of failure and then depression comes knocking the door down with suicidal thoughts, 24 hours later I'd pat my shoulder telling myself "good job you passed the darkness tsunami phase, see you again in 2 weeks..."

[@BIGGELATO]

7 months later and only now realize i want to take more care of myself because I started having physical illnesses that scare the living shit out of me...

I just feel really sad that ExxJ ik they spend so much time trying to do a lot for others and are so harsh on themselves to the point that they're neglecting themselves and not sleeping enough. They also take on a lot of burden more than they can handle. I agree with spending more time on themselves. Helping others is great ofc but not to the point neglecting themselves. It's ok to pamper yourselves once in a while. Self care is important. You need to take care of yourselves. Also make a judgment to choose help others or refuse helping others. It's not a bad thing to refuse them if choosing others would cost your own health. Chances if they can do it themselves, just give them instructions or advice and they do the physical work. Sometimes people ask for help bc they're lazy doing it themselves. All of these are not just applied to ExxJ. I'm not sure if I'm putting this whole thing in the right words.

I'm an ENTJ-T At school, I constantly seek the opportunities to help my friends or entertain them in anyway possible, whether it is lending something, helping them with academic subjects they can't understand, be their venting partner, be their shitposting partner, or just do pda like tracing lines on their back, keep my palm on their shoulder, touch their hair, fix their appearances. When I'm not with them, I watch anime and KZbin, I read novels, mangas, manhwas, manhuas, draw stuff, creating plots for my novels that I won't be publishing lol, and listen to narrated stories. But even though I have this much activities at home, I just feel empty somehow. I know, acknowledge and admit that I conditioned my happiness to flare up if I am with them and if I can make them feel happy. I mean, I don't really see any point for me to be happy, most of the time my feelings don't really bother my work. When I feel like shit, I'll usually just be in a daze and think "I feel like shit... I feel shitty.... Ugh what the shit.... I feel like shit... AH SHIT MY WORK" then I'd spring up in to action and continue my work and completely forget my feelings. If I ignore it enough, I'll eventually forget what I was feeling and what it felt like.

[@Skeetopunk01]

Test same as you. ENTJ-T For comparison: I love to study and research as much as be around people. Probably more fulfilling because I can stimulate my mind more than most conversations with people. - High standards and have already thought out every possible solution. And come to the best one. - internal locus of control. - I do not doubt myself or my abilities. I know I’ve done the work and have a solid plan in all areas of life. - I do not Exert power over others, no desire to. Just myself. Why? Getting others to come up to my standard is a futile effort. - As an ENTJ man, I typically do not get along with the strong independent female types. Or ENTJ/ESTJ women. This has been a problem with females trying to control a relationship or me.

[@BlueHazyDreams]

Starting to think I might be tribe above self but I don't help people, like at all, not unless it's convenient. But I do care about tribe validation, I try to live up to the tribe's expectations (or what I think their expectations are) and that's more what burns me out rather than helping everyone and putting them before me. It's trying so desperately to push myself into a mold I just can't fit. I'm a mess that needs a lot of help lol so I tend to focus on helping myself and I fucking hate people. But I don't have the self-confidence (for lack of a better word) of a self type either. I have no self-authority but I instead ping off the tribe for social norms.

[@scottsanett]

As a self-identified ENTJ I personally do not identify with the "not good enough" syndrome. This sounds more like a self-esteem issue than Fi demon. My interpretation of Fi demon is more on the lines of I do not give enough credit to what I want and my personal like and dislikes, because to me they are not important and should give way to objective facts and logic. Even if I feel strongly about a certain thing, if it is not what is considered objectively good, I will give priority to the latter. This does not necessarily mean that I feel like crap about myself the whole time. In fact I don't think about it much at all (I'm generally confident person and I wouldn't call my self-esteem fragile) unless I have nothing to do and have to sit there, be with myself and finding in horror that there's not much there inside.

[@Mr.Raccooon]

To be honest, i was didnt care much about people during ny childhood.

This is truly intriguing. As an INTP, I feel like my issues are similar, yet different. I have two reoccurring concerns that I struggle with the most. The first is that I'm not contributing enough to mankind, the animals, and the planet. I haven't quite honed in on my purpose and the sense that I am truly making a monumental impact. I feel like I need to find it. The second issue is that I've always felt like an outsider, an alien observing the events of Earth from my spaceship. I've always been eccentric and detached in my thinking. This has resulted in many strange looks, dismissive comments, and the tendency of others to consider many of my ideas as too unrealistic or theoretical.

I then realized that no matter how productive of a person I was, People would still not value me because I didn't value myself. To me this sounds like the ENTJ's struggle.

Your entire reason for living has just become smashed. I became an alcoholic for three years because of that. Then I started shedding bullshit beliefs and exercising, and working hard, and eating healthy. Now i own my own business and i never get discouraged any more. My sensing characteristic has fully developed and im an incredibly observant. more than supposed observant types. I base everything i do on what i have proven to be true with only my personal experiences. Which, people do not like very much. But i focus on my goals and get there every time.

Odd, I literally never felt this way... ya gotta help yourself first before you're capable of helping the world... and if you aint investing in yourself as you build something (whatever it is you're building), if you're not insuring that you are evolving and growing, then of course nothing is going to work out. Work on your health, work on your mind, work on you emotional fulfillment as you work in the world...

Thank you

[@fruitblossomblue1133]

I am floored. I've recently come to the conclusion that I don't do certain things I'd like to do because I feel like I should get permission from the world, from society, other people or life itself... in order to be me, the real me. So I have started telling myself I don't need permission. I am good enough. I am worthy. And now I see this video. Synchronicity.

[@gopal1035]

Thank you sir 🤗

[@relentless_animal4127]

I like to get far away from people so I won’t have to deal with them taking all the time I need for myself

[@ayakowalsky2807]

I did this, I literally put myself now on the to do list. First I had this guilt but now Im just annoyed both at myself and at my surroundings. If everything goes well I need one more week to come back to myself, I have no idea if this is harder on me or those around me as they cant depend as much on me now. Either way I still think very bad of myself now because of this crisis, but I just know that if I dont work on it now it will get worse later. This is the only solution.

[@Carolina-cm6nu]

1:30 as a former ENFJ and current ENTJ, this is so real. Wow, it definitely feels like I need permission to take care of myself. It seems like I'm doing wrong even when I take time away for myself. This was a helpful perspective to help me realize this

[@enzoliefer6767]

Why I saw in this video my life in 4 minutes...

[@RebekahParkhurst]

Soo this can be applied in reverse for IxxP’s? In spending all our time feeding ourselves (Fi/Ti), feelings of worthlessness come from not feeling accepted by the tribe because we neglect the Fe/Te? Hmmm....

[@kiwichi4488]

Rebekah Parkhurst That is quite interesting it might very well be true

[@hectorandem2944]

Until you realise that it's this so-called tribe that needs to get on your level. 🤔

[@user-jb2dd2hd8i]

YES!!!!

[@gregsander8439]

@confidence no. Lol.

[@Chatoyancify]

INTP here. I have to agree with what the tribe values or it has little to no effect on my sense of self worth. For example, it's easy to reason out of using makeup or wearing high heels without harm to self worth because I don't value them, but it's difficult to do that with school grades. Fe/Te has to match my Ti/Fi? Classic self over tribe, I think.

[@defnegcl3940]

thank you

[@Abdulrahman65440]

thank that's very helpful

[@JacksTestimony]

If abusive people are abusing you it’s your responsibility to give them boundaries until they apologize to hold them accountable so you don’t enable them. Tough love is still love. If they love you they’ll apologize (SINCERELY) and if they don’t then you just wait until they do before reconciling again.

[@palinsu4935]

I always get my things done. Still, I can’t help asking myself ‘Am I being less productive than expected?’ Guess that’s what keeps pushing me further.

[@mila9162]

I really think I'm an ENTJ, having been scored as one on the test and connecting with the type, but the issue is that I wouldn't quite describe myself as "assertive" 100% of the time and didn't really connect with this video. I have learned to take a more selfish approach to life and focus on my own improvement instead of wasting too much time on others, and I've always been more of a loner unless I see an opportunity to take charge (which I live for). I also feel like I have a deep understanding of my own emotions, even if I feel some of them less than others seem to. Am I just a well developed ENTJ or not one at all?

[@abcd6304]

Kinda asking the same thing

[@ellahawk6427]

As I was listening and thinking to myself about when I take time to myself, I thought guiltily “I do take long showers”, just seconds before you give the example of “well I have a little time in the shower” hahahahahaha

[@ballcenter8217]

Would be nice to, at some point, get a video guiding us on how to find exactly what our demon is

[@mothersruin9058]

Great video

[@keyboardcollections3989]

I love it

[@Terry_Irvin]

My family used to always tell me that I needed to focus on me and not others. They kept using the plane crash scenario and it never really worked as a child and I'm still in the process of fighting for myself...

[@Abdulrahman65440]

me too

[@unintelligentsupport4721]

I don't even know if I can do that. I have so much work to do. I'm scared.

[@msmilehi]

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the one!

[@5ONFSHRI]

This is so fucking real

[@ddtphoenix1265]

I think this has a lot to do with enneagram 3s

[@sabrinaclift1180]

For sure. As far as I can tell, ENTJs seem to be either Type 3 or Type 8. One of my ENTJ friends is a Type 3. I am a Type 8 ENTJ, but Type 3 is a high second in my type stack. And there are a fair bit of similarities between 3s and 8s, one of them being that 3s refuse to lose/fail and 8s refuse to give up. Both are heavily goal-oriented. It can be downright painful trying to step away from my goals to allow myself to fully relax or reflect on how I feel, and I think the same is true for my friend.

[@carmensandiego211]

omg thank you

[@halcyonn_wave]

This video made me tear up, nobody ever talks about this. Everyone always talks about how we are always confident and organized and efficient. People always say the outside factors of 'ENTJs would rather die than procrastinate or be unorganized' which is true. That's why internal battles are so hard to get out of since we are already at a low point and still keep beating ourselves up automatically with 'I'm stupid' 'I'm useless' etc. because we're not being productive. It's like trying to get up and being punched to the ground over and over again, except it's by ourselves. An endless loop of not doing anything for the fear of failing and being useless and then feeling horrible and beating ourselves up for not doing anything.. Any tips on how to get out of this?

[@milkyshakes]

((waiting for the Si vs Se and double decision function order video so I can put type videos in better perspective ))

[@dkorwood]

Wow! Good word

[@jarrodyuki7081]

yep.

[@evaanjos]

the anxiety this video is giving me

[@frogjackethuman781]

ENTJ here, I'm wondering if instead of saying stop helping people and start taking care of yourself more, which is hard for an ExxJ to hear, instead if we aim to pierce it through the middle, so cultivate your internal feelings and know what those are, and then find something where you like it and also it's helping the tribe. The tricky distinction is to like it because you like it, as opposed to liking it because the tribe needs it, but if you can find something you genuinely like for its own sake and it just so happens it valuable to the tribe, then you get best of both worlds. I'm just mentioning this because the thought of stopping helping other people and caring more for myself makes me think of this scale where one goes up the other goes down as if I can't have both, but I think I can, I think one can be balanced, and so it's feels better for me thinking out loud to aim for what both I like and the tribe likes at the same time

[@punchface3000]

make more on ENTJs pls!!

[@entersandmanlml]

So feeling worthless is not exclusive to my type the INFP but the all mighty ENTJ feels like this too? huh...

[@MarcPagan]

The Myers-Briggs type indicator's efficacy? On par with Astrology's "What's your sign?"

[@zenitahendrasavitri9570]

Wow i used to be like that, until i just focus on myself a year ago

[@augustuscaeser8939]

damm i fucking love you!

[@thefaith9442]

Thats true

[@bennaustin6632]

Ok I watched this to make sure I wasn’t mistyping myself by peacocking my shadow. Nope. Pretty sure this isn’t me. I am the opposite. If you guys break down, you can’t help anyone else. Maybe you need to take a break to meditate or journal or scrapbook or pintrest or something
