MBTI with a major in "Rational"

(Disclaimer: Not all of my advice will apply to all of the people of whatever type I’m speaking to at the moment, it’s just a trend I’ve noticed in my intuitive friends.)

INFJ: You guys have a very fine line between being completely self absorbed, or caring for others so much that your own health suffers. You gotta learn how to be balanced, my dudes.

ENFJ: You’re um… A bit bad when it comes to dealing with your own feelings. I know you hate to hear this, but try to think about things objectively before acting on your emotions. Or, have your favorite NT do it for you!

ENFP: You need a little bit of help putting things in perspective for yourselves when things start going bad. You tend to get caught up in an attitude of self pity, and while this can be healthy in regards to venting, it’s bad when that’s all you can think about. Just remember that things could always be worse, and not everyone is purposely going out of their way to make you miserable. Sometimes people are really just that ignorant of the effect they might have in your life.

INFP: Similar to ENFPs, you guys tend to get caught up in your own feelings when things happen. I’ve also noticed that you tend to take things very personally, and then just bottle it all up inside, and it’s just not healthy (I know that’s rich coming from the type that are easily the champions of bottling up emotions, but hear me out). Just try to remember that 9 times out of 10, someone isn’t trying to offend you. Try to think of things from different perspectives before getting upset about something.

ENTJ: Even if you don’t agree with someone’s opinion, try to hear them out. Even if you maintain your own opinion, sometimes seeing things from someone else’s point of view can be useful and help improve your own opinion.

INTJ: What can I say? We’re perfect. Totally don’t have any problems that we have to deal with, we’re completely emotionless robots and okay by this time the other types have stopped reading so now I get to say that it’s okay if you open up to someone every once in a while. I know it’s difficult, and letting someone actually hear how you feel is almost like just opening your chest and inviting someone to stab you in the heart, but it’s okay, and it’s not always going to end badly.

ENTP: If you guys keep procrastinating like you do, it’s eventually going to catch up with you. I’m just saying. Like, honestly I admire your ability to completely fake your way through your entire academic life, but just be careful because if you don’t keep it in check, it could seriously be bad for you guys.
