ENTP Growth Stressors & Loops

[@carlosvoices966]

I'm an ENTP, and that last part about us choosing a path outside our comfort zone even though it's difficult (and knowing our loop is there to lean on if we fail) was encouraging. More ENTP videos please! :)

[@AthenaCole]

It's absolutely amazing how you step into other people's shoes so well. You're like a Professor X or something. Great videos.

[@frnkr-ze2db]

The thing why i dont commit to an idea is cause im not satisfied with it. I know i can come up with something better. I hold a very high Standard to myself. If i have an idea i think what can happen if i finish it. If im not satisfied with where it leads me i dont wanna waste energie on it. This is why i generally dont finish them.

[@getout7133]

why is this my feelings literally

[@simplyshama]

lol i think this is why I'm single.

[@ashleelmb]

This is definitely one of the reasons why I don't finish things too. But other reasons include either that I can't be arsed or that I feel I have something better or more interesting to do with my time. Usually to me, an unfinished project is a task thats gotten monotonous and I'm dreading picking it up again.

[@anothercath]

Exactly this, I don't commit to an idea NOT because I always seek novelty. I don't commit to it because I seek perfection. But when I finally succeed at finishing something. Boy, I will admire my creation by looking and relieving it for days feeling proud of myself.

[@iincisif8599]

Otherwise u cannot realize your idea . That's another option .

[@Bpuffbpuff]

Every sentence you pronounced made me feel my anxiety rise a little bit. But darn it, you are right. You got yourself a new subscribers!

[@mirandademontmollin6081]

I’m an ENTP but I think one of my strengths is long term vision. My favorite quote is a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. I Don’t change plans often but when I do it’s after I’ve played out every possible scenario in my head in order to make the best decision or what I think would be the best decision.

[@freeze010203]

I literally stopped over 20 times you video and made a word document for answering the questions as they were coming. Thank you, I really needed it.

[@moonkookie1505]

"you can always return to your anchor" THIS IS SO OBVIOUS THAT IT'S HARD TO SEE, I'm a person who steps out of my comfort zones quite a lot, but this sentence alone gave me so much motivation to ease the anxiety in the situations to come, I'll drill this into my head and remind myself everytime, great video, thank you!

[@fedorilitchev5092]

the best ENTP analysis/advice I've seen

[@Layniacsofficial]

My gathering as an ENTP is that when we are utilizing our NeTi in strength, we are less likely to become stressed or anxious. The moment when we are surrounded by introverted sensing, it falls apart. Once we begin to try new ideas because we want to experience way too many things at once, that's when we become scatterbrained and the procrastination starts because we struggle with which idea is more fun at the moment. Should I do the boring thing to get it out of the way or should I do the fun thing that will keep me occupied all night? It's a struggle between sensing that we cannot seem to understand. Then it gets worse when we are drowned with our FeSi because when friends come around and they convince us to just take a break, that break can go on for weeks and we end up kicking ourselves. We won't regret it but we kick ourselves anyways LOL

[@Prometheus7272]

I agree with you i think the stressed aspect comes from Ti Si loops but we're at our best utilizing Ne Ti and Ne Fe

[@ranjitpillai9946]

@S0ULxDECiPHER hey you seem to be accurate about the NeTi thing. Can you suggest how do you avoid that or work a way so that one doesn't remain scatter brained and procrastine? Please reply.

[@Prometheus7272]

Ranjit Pillai Pick a long term goal, or multiple goals if you can’t decide on one 😂. Work towards that goal and develop why you want to achieve that goal. Don’t worry too much about set backs or being in a rut usually you learn something from it that that is invaluable to you. It’s all part of the process. Also work out, it keeps you grounded. Another strange tip getting haircuts, generally grooming and cleaning your room helps to keep that inferior Si at bay.

[@ranjitpillai9946]

@@Prometheus7272 thank you for replying. I do have long term goals but in the long term i lose steam and find another one much interesting🤣 Ability to stick to it is concerning. But thanks a lot for your kind reply.

[@Meezyb33]

One of the best if not the best video I have seen over ENTPs. I didn’t believe I was an ENTP for the longest time but everything ties me to it. The only thing is I feel like I am very emotional but it’s an intelligence- only certain things will get me emotional and I’m not sure how to explain it. Anyway, I feel like my emotional side prevents me from pursuing my goals, like you said, we’re mostly scared of not having any return if we stress and work ourselves a lot; I constantly yearn for validation

[@franz5998]

I can relate to some things you say, but I cannot relate to the stress part. My struggle is that I do not stick to a project because at some point I can see how it will develop and I know I can do it, but from that point forward it gets just boring. After a few years, I sometimes regret that I did not finish so many projects because I imagine it would have felt nice to have this sense of achievement. And anxiety.. mostly I feel anxiety when I think about my achievements and think that I did not yet found „the project“ that is worth my full dedication, that I long to give.

[@captainnatalie6937]

Hi, I am a female entp. Your channel has made me understand myself better. Thank you. Can you do more videos about entp? Like unhealthy and healthy entp. How to become more healthy entp? I am developing my si, which makes me feel stressed. Can you do videos about how to develop si? And how to keep balanced as an entp? How to time management as entp?

[@ashleelmb]

4:19 - This is why I'm tempted to start my own business but I choose not too because I can't be arsed putting the time, energy and patience into it long term. And it's also the unpredictability of it. It makes it too risky. I like predictability and guarentees. You don't get predictability and guarentees with starting a business whereas being employeed, you can predict your income. Also, I'm not confident enough in myself that I can make a success of a business. I'm always worried about failure. I can't stand the idea of failing. I have to spend the time needed to investigate all angles and possibilities and the success of a business relies on quick calculated decisions - which I find a difficult thing to do. So by the time I've investigated all angles on each situation that presents itself to me, my business would have folded because my strategy is too time consuming for the business to excel. Also, the majority of my employment life is that I picked up a bit of experience in lots of different things but never truely mastered anything so I was never recognised as a specialist in anything in particular. So getting someone to give me a job was also difficult. I also had a tendancy to give up on a specific role because it was either too monotonous, didn't pay enough to what I believed I should be getting for the job or that I didn't progress into something bigger and more respectable and rewarding quick enough for my liking. This has made the first 10 years of my adult life particularly difficult because I was never seen as employable until in the last few years where my job experience in something in particular has excelled into something that I now how have recruitment agencies contacting me for work over, which has boosted my ego lately.

[@onlyme0349]

Hello, I'm in a similar situation. Could you elaborate on what got you out of it? How did you eventually become employable like that?

Hi, what is it ? What is the thing that became specialized in it ؟؟؟ ؟؟ technology

Ok so. When you talked about ENTP getting restless and jumping around. . . I had concluded not 10 minutes beforehand that I was frustrated with my weight. I needed to exercise IMMEDIATELY. And I was, at that moment you said something, doing jumpingjacks. 🤣🤣🤣

[@cloudsofsunset7323]

this is a real life experience of an ENTP with the long term goal. Four years ago I set a goal and this goal I have seing it being so near yet so far in the past year. Of course four years ago I knew it would take me this long but now I am here I sometimes suffer from not having it yet. What do I do? simply I tell myself at some point I will get there and now i take the best chances I have now for the medium term goal. Because rn I am so near I cannot talk long term, now is medium term distance. But it's still so far that I cannot enjoy the road because the choice I am going to have to do for this goal is not the best I would like to be doing.

[@sodesunee]

Im so happy that I was born a wimp! If I wasn´t, I would weight at least 140Kilos with my 1,70m and died in my early 20´s cuz of heart attack. Ironically I went with 15 years to the gym to gain some bodyweight, then I had a bit structure in my life and my whole life went better. I nearly surrendered to make school until highshool, simply too less endurance. But due to sports with my INTJ - friend, endurance was getting a thing. At least I am student and hardly can imagine to do a vanilla job anymore. I couldn´t even at 20, that was my downfall and stand up/ growing age. But: is there anyone who had the same experience? Do you know how to progress after university? I landed in a loop for the past 3 years T-T. I think too often to do something other again. And I don´t want to think so. Actually I like my Job and my studying, I know I would regret to leave that behind. But I struggle so hard by losing focus all the time: my Si, or inner feeling betrays me all the time.

Nice. How can INFJ learn to compassionately relate without interfering? How can the ENTP's relational community help? Thank you for your expertise and insight, Erik. I recognize your Fe harmonizing function and the use of an inner stored volume of theory. INFJ: "They study people with an intensity that’s rarely matched by any other type." "The higher self can look down at us or look up at us." Thank you for guiding the community to recognize and relate to their Philemon!

[@billbutton7669]

The last thing you said, that "I chose my stress, I chose my anxieties", had me feeling as strong as I used to after listening to Skyrim. I feel proud to have the anxiety I've had. I feel proud to have been worked up by people complaining about how evil and racist republicans are and how Charlton Heston killed that kid. Micheal Moore is a real ENTJ prick. Knowing that he and Trump are the same type makes me dislike Trump, and besides that I'm practically a republican. That's how much Micheal Moore proved himself to be a prick.

[@hekikoka5792]

a lot of misinformation here my friend! ENTPs lacking vision?!?! you clearly haven't done your homework! among the many names ENTPs are also called "The Visionaries"! an ENTPs lacks diplomacy? Where need be ENTPs make superb diplomats in fact I myself am highly diplomatic. You also imply that ENTPs would struggle with a business and this I think varies with the individual as Ben Franklin, Mark Cuban and Thomas Edison were all excellent businessmen. There's godly ENTPs like Alexander of Macedon and beady eyed Joes ENTPs who couldn't carry a stick, just like theres Napoleon like ENTJs and dead beat ENTJs somewhere so place! There's a spectrum of opposites and everything else in between so It all depends on the individual🤷🏻‍♂️

[@ashleelmb]

I don't think he was clear enough here but I think he meant that ENTP's lack the long term vision in order to see something through. ENTP's are called visionaries because their visionary tendancies are short term before they/we want to move onto something new for whatever reason. Also, starting a business needs that long term vision and commitment and I can truely say that as an ENTP, I have considered starting a business but I've chose not to because I can't be arsed putting the time and the energy into it in case it fails. This is where ENTP's such as myself, lack vision long term because having the business idea is easy enough for an ENTP but it's the unpredictability of having a business, not knowing how much income you'll have from week to week that makes me feel disatisfied with the idea and puts me off.
