The Darkside of the ESTP

[@avocadoperson]

My best friend is an ESTP and everyone seems to remember her (sometimes for bad, sometimes for good things) yet she forgets about them quicker than one's running speed when they notice a cockroach in their bed.. Also she pretends the future doesn't exist and avoids planning at all costs, oh inferior Ni.

[@Reikisimo]

ESTPs have an INFJ very hidden inside their heart, you will probably not see this to come out very often. One day, I was sad and my ESTP came out with a piece of advice that was so beautiful he made me cry, I was crying I could not believe I was hearing this words from an ESTP. I think I felt a little bit jealous not having come up with such a beautiful sentence. He couldn't believe he made me cry for real, he barely achieves that with his daily realistic pure observations.

[@coolamericano]

ESTP actually have the best life advice, how do I know? My big brother is an ESTP. Imaging all the experience they been through with their Se Dom followed by their auxiliary Ti, The know tons of stuff. i would take the advice on an ESTP over any other MBTI type. INFP

As a strong INTP (who unsurprisingly enjoys role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons), ESTP's are some of my favorite sorts of characters to role-play. Playing a high Se and Ti user with a dash of fuck-it-all is a great way to vary my personality style while still playing an analytical character. I don't think I could enjoy playing an idiot. So Bards, Sorcerers, and Rogues (or Slides in Blades-in-the-Dark) are great ways for geeky INTP's to indulge an alternative version of themselves as ESTP's.

He doesn't like debating or conflict tho. He loved to work out on his Boflex machine. He bullied me too by saying that some stranger was drunk to think I was beautiful. He was sarcastic with his son telling his son that he had a ugly face and his son sarcastically told his dad that he got his ugly looks from him. Then they wrestled together.
