#extraverted

When I was younger, I used to look out for the little guy

Give him the last dodgeball, hang out with him at recess

Now I care more about my reputation than about others

When I was younger, my teachers used to praise my intelligent brain

I used to read books, study hard, be eager to learn

Now I sit in class, daydreaming, wishing I was anywhere else but in the classroom

When I was younger, I begged my mom for more playdates with friends

For them to come over to my house, for us to meet at playground; anything

Now I ignore every text and call that goes through my phone because I don’t want to interact

When I was younger, I used to take such pride in my extra curricular activities

My acting and writing was everything to me

Now I doubt everything I do

When I was younger, I used to look into the mirror and think “Wow, I look amazing!”

I loved my hair, my skin, my clothes

Now I look into the mirror and say “How did I let myself become this ugly?”

Somewhere along the way I lost the heart that told me to help others

I lost the ambition to be amazing at school

I lost my extraverted talkative soul

I lost my pride and joy

I lost my beauty

So where did it all go?

And why can’t I find it? Because the only thing I can feel or think of right now is emptiness and deep depression

When I was younger, my smile used to light up a room

I used to entertain and talk for hours

Now I sit alone in the darkness

EJs are both dynamic and rational, so they see reality as in continuous, gradual, often imperceptible change. At the same time, an EJ has his own views of what reality "should" be. This inclines him to be quick to take action, normally using his leading function, in order to make sure things will remain, or become, as they should be, before change can get too far.

As extroverts, EJs tend to feel that it is up to them to initiate contacts with other people, whether in the context of establishing or maintaining a relationship. They will not necessarily act on that, though, and sometimes wish others would take over this role.

Perception of other temperaments

EP: EJs see EPs as unpredictable and moody, and therefore a bit irritating, but also as extremely energetic once they do focus on doing something, as well as the source of initiatives that may be worthwhile.

IP: EJs see IP as unpredictable, moody, as well as too passive and unreliable, especially if they are required to show initiative or even reciprocity.

Extraversion: denoting an outgoing, overtly expressive and sociable person predominantly concerned with external things or objective considerations, with a more talkative, enthusiastic, assertive, gregarious and energetic behavior, an attitude-type characterised by concentration of interest on the external object or gratification and mental outside oneself.
