ENTPs will see all the possible outcomes of a situation before you can even finish processing one

They’ll have you second-guessing yourself in seconds

While you may be lulled into thinking that ENTPs are socially and emotionally inept, they’re looking to turn the tables on the people making them look awkward

Have uncrackable poker face

Masters of subtle sarcasm –Are they joking? Are they serious? Are they making fun of you? You’ll never know and therefore never have the upper hand

Nothing is ever enough, they always need more, they need to know more, they need to see more, they’re black holes

The ENTP awkward phase is a time, normally in the teen years, where the naturally goofy and loveable ENTP, represses themselves in order to fit in. 

The problem with this is that ENTPs are well… naturally unique. Not everyone is like them which is why they’re one of the rarer personalities. Yet they want to fit in somewhat and to do this, they start repressing their naturally unique personality. It could be their weirdness, their loudness, their talkative nature, their annoyingness or anything really. But repressing it feels awful and it can lead the ENTP to feeling really upset.

When in this phase, ENTPs may fit in, but can still come across as rather introverted or just awkward. Yet this frustrates the ENTP because they know that that isn’t themselves at their best, and it feels like barely anyone knows what they’re actually like.

It can be hard to break out of this phase and be your happy ENTP self again, but the key is to not care about others. Their expectations shouldn’t be stopping you from being yourself. It doesn’t matter if they think you’re kind or not, what matters is your happiness and if being yourself upsets them, then that’s too bad.

Everyone has their own criteria to approve and disapprove of others, and, depending on the kind of relationships they expect to have, they may be more or less selective. While some judgments may be quite reasonable for the sake of fruitful relations, some may be too extreme (imposing needless or unreachable standards). In any case, we choose who we get along with or tolerate to invest ourselves in. Yet, it is important to recognize that what we personally value does not always (if ever) determine what another is ultimately worth. You can be as picky as you like, but, if you are, know it is more about you and your preferences and aspirations (which may or may not be fair) than about how worthwhile another can be.

Through the Enneagram, we can explore a few common motives to disapprove of people, with needs and wants that may, for better or for worse, vary in degree.

Type 1. “You behave as though nothing matters and barely bother to listen to your conscience - if you even have one. I disapprove.”

Type 2. “You are selfish and, worse, wouldn’t even accept help when you clearly need it. I disapprove.”

Type 3. “Not only are you a loser, but you’re a sore loser who doesn’t do anything to improve and blames others for own failures. I disapprove.”

Type 4. “You have no sense of self and try too hard to be just like everybody else. I can’t be myself around you. I disapprove.”

Type 5. “You don’t care to truly understand issues and believe whatever is most convenient or appealing to you. I disapprove.”

Type 6. “You ignore the potential implications and consequences of your actions and cannot be trusted. I disapprove.”

Type 7. “You refuse to venture out of your comfort zone or show enthusiasm for novel things and experiences. I disapprove.”

Type 8. “You don’t stand up for yourself and break or give in too easily. You back down and away from most or all challenges. I disapprove.”

at least, a dominant variant is like that. We’re constantly prioritizing it above everything else. Which is why we become so neurotic about it when we can’t fullfill it. Cuz it’s impossible to ignore

like, if an Sp-dom feels unsafe, even hypothetically, or sees a way they can become More Safe, they will prioritize that need above anything else

if an  Sx-dom feels understimulated, even hypothetically, or sees a way they can become More Stimulated, they will proritize that need above anything else

Don’t tell me what to do, I’m going to do it anyway.

1. We have no idea what’s going on. Like, ever. Not even one time.

2. We’re damn good at making you think that we know what’s going on, and that it was our plan all along.

3. We’re so frickin loyal it’s not even funny. We play it off like we don’t care about anyone, but we would legit do absolutely ANYTHING for those we care about.

4. If we’re trying to be extra funny, you know something’s up. We’re most likely covering up our emotions with a good ole unhealthy dose of sarcasm and depreciating humor.

5. Our secrets have secrets. We may seem like open books, but believe me. There’s sooo much more going on under the surface.

6. We absolutely need time for ourselves to think. We’re the kind of extroverts that you may have to drag to a party, but we’ll be the life of the party when we get there.

7. We. Need. Attention. For everything we do. Even though we give off this sort of “I don’t care what you think” vibe, we need constant validation, even just someone saying “oh cool”. We thrive to impress people, no matter how hard to believe that is.

8. We feel stress just the same as any other type. We just choose to bury it deep deep down where no one can see it, and let it blow up in our faces later.

9. I didn’t talk enough about validation. We have this hunger to do something and to be someone. We need to make a difference, somehow, somewhere.

10. We hate it when people have us figured out. We hate it even more when people only think that they have us figured out, but they’ve got us all wrong.

11. We hate to be ignored. Like, seriously. If we ask you for something, which is something we very rarely do, we expect you to take the time to listen to us.

12. We are the most caring assholes you’ll ever meet. We love to make people happy, but we’ll grumble about it the whole time.

13. We hate being overestimated. Underestimate us, please. We get strength from being the underdog. If we feel like you’re putting too much on us, we’ll just give up because we don’t see that it’s worth it to fail.

14. Challenge us. For the love of God, give us something to argue about. Complacency is a danger to us ENTPs, and it can lead us to very bad habits. We need someone or something that’ll spark our interest, or we’ll go insane.

15. We’re really full of mushy gushy stuff on the inside. No one’s supposed to know that.

16. We feel overwhelmed a lot, and when we do, you need to give us space to sort things out. Like, two minutes. Please.

17. We lie. Constantly. About everything. Watch your back.

18. We deserve respect. With everything that we do for the people around us, we deserve at least a little bit.
