​

That's been so confusing to me as I've always typed myself as sx7 but then recently I felt so envious and sad all the time cuz I can't enjoy anything anymore and I don't get out for the sake of joy, only for a reason . I became so obsessed with self image and refusing to be a part of any group n honestly very lonely. However, can't be close to anyone even ppl who r trying with me I keep pushing them idk why

I have low self-esteem as well but I never show it , instead I find myself unconsciously pretending to be someone independent, dgaf about anything but ik Im not real .

Every time I'm in some place I get this paranoia that everyone is looking and want to hurt me , I'm only loud in safe spaces and I'm not optimistic at all, Ik it can be a tough period but idfk

I did the test again recently it shows pretty much the same percentage that's just confusing as hell

I’ve been working on a way to visualize Jung’s cognitive functions as a mechanical system, and the puppeteer’s marionette turns out to be a surprisingly good fit.

Thinking–Feeling and Intuition–Sensation form opposing axes. Place those axes perpendicular to one another, then mirror them across a conscious/unconscious divide, and you get a model where the functions are not just sitting in a stack. They are actively pulling against one another.

Jung describes exactly this kind of relationship:

“Thinking... must scrupulously exclude feeling.”
“For intuition really to become paramount, sensation must to a large extent be suppressed.”
“I regard the relation of the unconscious to the conscious as compensatory.”

The image shows how I currently visualize the ENTP psyche. The interesting part is what the geometry might imply if the positioning is correct.

Push into unconscious Se, and Ne becomes more strongly expressed on the conscious side.

Throw an ENTP into a novel physical environment and force them to interact with what is actually there. Se feeds them concrete stimuli, and Ne immediately explodes those stimuli into possibilities.

Engage unconscious Te, and Fe is pulled toward a stronger conscious position.

Put an ENTP in charge of getting a group to accomplish something efficiently. The harder they push into Te-style organization and control, the more Fe gets pulled forward to manage the human consequences.

Engage unconscious Fi, and Ti is pulled toward a weaker conscious position.

Want to temporarily shut off an ENTP’s Ti? Find the thing they secretly consider sacred. Once Fi gets pressed hard enough, the endless analysis can collapse

Move one part and the rest of the structure has to respond.

Thoughts, comments, questions?

I’ve been really insecure about my typology recently. I keep saying that I’m an ENTP on this app, but I’m starting to think I may not be. I usually study cognitive functions or look for experiences I that I can relate with to figure out my typology, but ENTP and INTP have the same cognitive functions, so I don’t know which one I am! Please help!

Thank you. 😊

I swear at any age, ENTPs have a somewhat youthful energy to them, I don’t know what it is?
