If you’re new to Geek Psychology, my name is Matt Sherman. People call me Sherman. I'm a personality type expert, life coach, hypnotist, author, podcaster, and course creator. I help mainly INFPs embrace their unique strengths and navigate life's challenges. Through practical strategies and deep insights, I aim to help people like you live a more fulfilling and authentic live where you can wake up and feel good about who you are and your impact on the world. ENTJs are the masterminds behind many successful ventures, but they aren't without their struggles. There are 2 specific ENTJ struggles that come from ignoring the needs and desires surfaced by the dynamics of their most influential personality functions: the push and pull of introverted iNtuition (Ni) and extraverted Sensing (Se), and inferior introverted Feeling (Fi).

I hope it helps!

I am an ENTJ and growing up with narcissistic parents was hell on earth. I am glad I took my power back.

omg “took my power back” resonates with me 10/10 -fellow ENTJ

I tried journaling like you suggested in a previous video and it helped a lot more than I'd expected. I actually feel "trapped" these days but didn't mind it much and things are starting to make sense now. So, thank you. I needed this.

[@GeekPsychology]

You're welcome. Journaling is sooo beneficial... and yet... we don't always do what we know is good for us :P ... just like me and cleaning my workspace or making plans.

Gosh, like every line you said hit me. Even the parts when you said, "maybe you already do that" hahaha. Seriously, thank you. I can see myself rushing to do more things because I see lack of progress but what happens is I stumble more and get more frustrated due to the situation not changing. I'll take your advice on doubling down on meditation, journaling and making some art to get in touch with that whatever I need to get in touch with. Very impressive. New subscriber here.

[@fv7430]

I'm an ENTJ and it's so hard for me to be in a relationship. I always point out flaws in my loved one but it's so they can improve themselves. Sadly they take it offensive though that's not my intention. It's also very difficult for me to answer when they talk about their mental health. I barely look at mine and I grew up in a family where it's not talked about. I can't show compassion easily, I often say "Don't look to the past but to the future. Life goes on". But my gf (infp) takes it very offensive while I'm just trying to help. She also has a lot of moodswings and as an entj, i can't really deal with that. I always think positively and look ahead while she is always preoccupied with the past, after a while that really starts to annoy me. She is also very stubborn, i give her advice but she doesn't listen and that is pretty disrespectful to me bcz again I'm an ENTJ. I truly love her and don't want to hurt her. My last relationships all went bad bcz of me. They began to push me away bcz i was always trying to improve them. Sometimes i love to be an ENTJ but now i really hate being one.

[@theloniusmonk1263]

From one ENTJ to another, my brother is an INFP, I also shared a flat with an INFP for several years and I've had friendships with quite a few other INFPs for years. I dont think the dynamics would ever work in a romantic relationship with a woman. Maybe you should just face facts and move on.

[@lililaaaaa]

From your story, I think she is unhealty or unmature INFP. What you did was right, so don't blame yourself because everyone have different way of showing their love. Just be you and love yourself. You're a great person 👍 (INFP)

[@fv7430]

@@lililaaaaa Now she says that I'm too commanding when i give advice. She also said that I'm controlling her life which is not true, i give her all the freedom and own decisions. Now she said that she didn't mean like controlling but just commanding but ofcourse I'm an ENTJ, the commander (but not in that way) again, when she asks for help for something, i truly want to help her but sometimes she doesn't listen so that's why i can be a bit commanding i think, but she asked for my help so then she needs to listen too. I always tell her when i give her advice for something that it's her choice if she wants to follow it or not. I always tell her that i support every single decision she makes. She said that it's mostly via text that i seem commanding but via text you can interput things in a whole different way then i mean to say it (if you know what i try to explain, like irl i'd say it calm and with a relaxed posture but ofcourse in text it's just words and not non-verbal communication)

[@lililaaaaa]

@@fv7430I have INFP friend and she is in FI-SI loop. She always tell me all her problems and I always try to not giving advice or solution, just hear her story and then give support (from my experience, some feeler tell their problem to looking for empathy and support, including me 😅 but when they had been calm, they will need and accept advice, solution) but one day ... I couldn't take it anymore because she wasn't trying to solve the problem. I was saying to her that her mindset was the problem. And yap, she didn't talk to me 2 year 🥲 I've apologized so many times and she said "yes, it's ok" but she was still cold to me. I know it's hard dealing with unhealthy INFP (although I'm INFP too) be patient with her. If she tell you her problem, just hear it and give her your support. Learn about mental health, especially her mental illness (if she has). If you want to chat via massage, you can use emoticon, it's really helpful. My friends told me that I was so scary if I didn't use emoticon in my chat 🤣 The relationship between ENTJ and INFP is really difficult if they don't healthy and mature. But if you two can get through this, your self-improvement will be on the next level and you can find your missing piece. You help her to improve her TE and she help you to improve your FI. I wish you two all the best ✊

[@lililaaaaa]

@@fv7430 I understand why you want to help her problems, because you want them to be happy and doesn't sad again because of it. You can say about it to her ^^ You can googling or watch youtube about how to break FI-SI loop in INFP and how to make INFP healthy. Hope it help you. Fighting! 🔥

[@VoldraLightningfrost]

Thank you so much. This video finally explained to me why I have such a strong substance abuse & smoking addiction. Three years ago, someone close to me thwarted one of my most essential goals, because she, as a family member, vetoed over the procurement of my most basic need at the time because my actions did not fit her cultural brainwashing (The conflict started in the first place after she breached my privacy). I still have limited control because they are dependent on me, and dealing with the situation by acting immediately, for me, means to 420blazeit 360Noscope every day. No amount of meditation, breathwork, or drawing helps calm the ticking rage, and the only way out of the situation is to get rich. To get rich, I need to slow down, and shift my priorities to actions that can get me rich as opposed to actions that get me sedative pleasure and kill my pain in the short term.

[@sash8099]

If you think about it most people are in pain because of something or another. All you can do is the best you can in that situation so don't lose hope. Hardship teaches valuable lessons and ease isn't far off.

[@sabrinas.8034]

Become the best version of yourself and then get into a relationship with someone who did the same (I guess your are attracted to her very feminine soft loving and caring slightly shy and grounded side). I’ve been working myself for last 6 years, and doubled down on it as we entjs do it. I developed everything in myself which I wanted from others - and more. 2 months ago, i entered into a relationship with a well-developed male entp which. U met in a spiritual retreat. It’s perfect, almost magical. and we develop and heal together further and build a fun and successful life.

[@annaf9821]

As an entj I totally agree. I often feel frustrated and trapped in the here and now war. Usually it works fine to have an evening for my self and journaling in my bed. I point out my overall goals in life and reevaluate my path to achieve it. Feeling like self care.

[@GeekPsychology]

That’s awesome that you do that. I think it’s really important for everyone, but especially for your personality type. It can create a lot long-term benefits.

Te and Se: How dare you say you're "going" through a hard time you're not even trying enough. You're not even moving. Delete youtube, throw your phone away! Ni and Fi: *that's my emotional support Geek Psychology*

[@carnagecookie]

@@Solarqueenthesoverign I think I didn't explain myself well. I'm not talking about getting a healthy break and discontinuing what wastes time and energy. I'm talking about the excessive response to (mostly emotional) problems that can make one not allow themself to "chill" and enjoy things. That's exactly because of the drive you spoke about. An underdeveloped ENTJ might make an obsession out of it and overwork themself. I don't care that much for MBTI in general. But it helped me understand the Fi in me and how I actually neglect it sometimes. I am seventeen, after all. Also thank you for explaining the delta.

[@GeekPsychology]

Thanks for the input! My ENTJ friend/boss works his butt off. As does my ESTJ friend. As for Fi being not as significant... I feel the same about Te until I get into the situations in life where I know what I want but have no structure or system built to achieve it or measure progress. Quite the pickle.
