#estp problems

INTJ, INTP - Someone who can bring warmth to their coldness, light to their darkness, happiness to their depression, but also someone who understands how important the cold, the dark, and the depression is to them and knows how to balance both of them.

ENFP - Someone who takes everything they aspire to be and help them make it a reality, someone who makes them understand that dreams are great but accomplishments are better. Someone who acts like a mirror to them, makes sure they don’t go off the tracks yet, enjoys getting lost within them.

ENTJ, ESTJ - Someone who can bring fun and entertainment to their life while at the same time being able to give them a challenge and lightheartedly compete with them. They need someone who is strong yet compassionate at the same time, someone they can relate to on a very personal level.

INFP, ISFP - Someone who understands how complicated and simple they are, someone who doesn’t try to fix them or makes sense of them but just embraces them.

ENTP - Someone who takes all the hate and highlights all the positives, someone who is able to truly talk to them and challenge them

INFJ, ENFJ - Someone who makes them smile without hiding a frown within, someone who brings out the real them no matter how difficult

ESTP, ISTP, , ESFP - Someone who can ride with them to no place in specific yet always knows where to go when things get too overwhelming

ISTJ - Someone who makes them read beyond the words and helps them see beyond the facts and the rules, someone who adds paint to their canvas

“The air you smell, the sights you see, the food you taste, the language you hear, and the feeling you get..nothing familiar. That is true freedom” - anonymous

You guys probably all have one stereotype in mind when you think about an ESTP :

The impulsive daredevil that dosen’t give a shit about you or anything at all. Sex, Drugs and Rock'n Roll.

And that’s it. Not much talk beyond that. And there aren’t many ESTPs here to counter these stereotypes.

I think a lot of the negativ stereotypes stems from people beeing inexperienced with us. You guys see us at school or at work “acting like assholes or jocks”. Most of you probably enjoy more calm and quiet surroundings and people even when you’re outside , so the loud and energized ESTP seems exhausting and sadly “like an asshole” to you. You see us, are overwhelmed by us and then share your experience online. Other people with similar types agree with you and the dislike goes on.

Which is really sad because we are so much more than that. When there is negativity about other types , there are usally people from that type that defend themselfes.

AND THAT’S WHY I’M HERE !!!

infp: yes it has.

*pause*

infp: a little too qu-

Today my ISFJ friend pointed out a very interesting difference she's noticed about ESTPs and ENTPs.

She said ESTPs can be surprisingly evil and come up with the most wicked plan to hurt you and make your life miserable if they want to. They will even openly admit it and be proud of it.

However, ENTPs won’t hurt you or do bad things as a purpose. They will have a certain goal and won’t care if they do something evil in order to achieve it. It’s a more like a “the end justifies the means attitude” and if you ask them they won’t think they’re doing anything wrong.
