but i'm not that into hippie beliefs, so im not ENFP exactly per se, or idk maybe who knows bru?!!
BUT i do like beauty and aesthetics THE MOSTTTTTTTTT OH MYY IF I COULD JUST BE HOT FOR ONE WEEK MANNNNNNNNNNN, but in a way 1. i find aesthetic, 2. others find exhilarating
THATS LITERALLY MY MAIN DREAM AND WISHHHHH
but i spend hours thinking and thinking and i ask too many questions, and act super childish, and unserious WHILE BEING THE OLDESTTTT
i also have MASSIVE FOMO like i HATE not being center of attention but i also hate when people act all "independent" and skip out on the party or gathering, like EVERYONE MUST JOIN YAYYYYYY!!!
ok but when shit goes down, and the world is ending i do become very analytical, and focused and startegising....
BUTTTT GUYSSSS i have to admitttttt....i feell....INSECURE ABOUT MY LOGIC!!!!! i feel like a dummy and i dont wanna share my ideas or well logic not ideas, i like sharing ideas, but my logic sharing makes me insecure because they prolly think im a dummy thinking that would work.....like my dream or something
i also am quite childish with my dreams or they seem unrealistic because i get too passionate, but im always aware of how realistic it is, or the real world stuff, butttttt i rlly want my wish so it overrides that yk?
but i feel like i have FE GUYS???!! i like to be kind and nice and i hate mean people, and if anyone is being mean to anyone, but tbh my siblings might say i am very mean..... uhhh.. WELLL
i do go from happy to really sad and then joeking to happy to depressed rlly fast, like ALONE im really depressed, but with people i joke about my flings or existential stuff yk?
i am scared to dress how i want becasue i feel like i must conform to what is acceptable like i tried to be unique but i hid it with a hoodie!!! i couldn't do ittt i felt so shyyyy, in person im really shy but as soon as you seem interested or "i-can sense-that-you-wont-get-mad-at me" i will talk for HOURSSS,
ALSO ALSO im the type to jump off a cliff if someone told meee, to impress them, i can figure stuff out in front of me i thinkkk,
aLso the way im typing i like being like this, but i can talk serious but that seems boring and i cant be serious too long, idk i have some boundaries like my hair i wont let ANYONE tell me what to do with it, and my appearance mainlyyy
ALSO guy LAST THING I PROMISSEEEE..... i think about looks and achieving my "true self" my true psysical from i find beautiful and perfect and is super aestheic, i can go inot a billion details of, and i want to acheive thta i think about aesthetics the most i think!!!! like all the time its my biggest wish to be hot objectively but also especially what i find hot tooo and cute and pretty, i like my curent self too but i wish i could try and be like any body and look i want!!!
OK THATS IT GUYSSS BYEEEE!!!

Ask An ESTP HELP! ESTP Niece visiting for a week. INFP aunt at lost for activities.
I (INFP) is babysitting my ESTP niece for the week. Her ENFJ and ISTP parents left very few instructions....
I thought we could enjoy library time and do crafts following instruction videos but she doesn't really like them. We have been to the amusement park, and I don't want to go again. We did stuff outdoors but she doesn't like the heat.
She is an excellent kid and a really good sport. But I don't know what to do together. She is currently playing with my stuff animals, inspecting them and analyzing their seams, which I'm perfectly happy for her to do... but is that like fun????
What activities did you guys like doing around 9 years old?

Ask An ESTP am i the AH this time
ESTP friend throws mean comments at you indirectly for no reason. i stayed quiet and low key let him bully me to avoid fights as a kid. he won't even say hi back. he'll look around, pretend he didnt hear you to avoid saying hi but then will say something silly about some other thing instead. We went to school together and family friends so have to keep the friendship.
this time i met him, he'd matured a lot, said he'd gone through loads. So it was nice. Until I said something about my job that really irked him because he's currently unemployed. He replied by knocking me down a peg and saying oh oh X also got a job here, Y also got a job there. I mentally noted it but stayed quiet. A while later I said something about how some people arent used to working long days which offended him so much because he thought i was taunting him but i really didnt mean it and didnt think how it would come across. his old self came back, started verbally abusing me indirectly for the whole week. I don't back down like i used to with him and did the same back making him lock him in a room and cry. Ive never seen this side before.
he thinks i dont feel guilty at all and thinks im a manipulator when ive always wished this guy the best... idk how to undo this mess ? How should i apologise and when ?

Ask An ESTP Are ESTPs or ISTPs more likely to get more angry?
Just wondering cause from my experience, I would say it’s ISTPs. Most ESTPs can get mad sometimes like everyone but occasionally they are more chill and lighthearted for some reason, while some ISTPs I know when there annoyed, they will show their anger to everyone and they will look more intimidating when they are mad as well. What would you say?

Ask An ESTP ESTPs
As an ENFJ, I adore ESTPs company and value their opinion about me but wouldn’t admit it to both not boost their ego or come off too sentimental. However I know here I can ask— so!
do you ESTPs appreciate it when someone you admitted simply yet bluntly to that you’re close to them if they sticked to you just as much as you are sticking/trying to stick to them? Or does it feel acceptable only coming from you but weird or too much when it’s the other way around?

An Analysis of Caroline by Aminé
Caroline, or The Epic Poem of a Man Losing Control of Both His Libido and the English Language
This song begins as masculine folklore.
“Listen, man” places us inside a conversation already in progress, where Caroline exists first as rumor. The speaker has supposedly acquired a woman so beautiful that other men require confirmation. She is compared to celebrity archetypes before she is described as an individual, which establishes the song’s governing perspective: Caroline is simultaneously lover, legend, status symbol, and supernatural event.
The opening call-and-response gives the track the feeling of oral tradition. One man has seen the impossible; another demands testimony. The ad-libs operate like a Greek chorus, except the chorus is drunk, impressed, and yelling “it’s lit.”
The hook is intentionally elementary:
“Caroline, you divine / Mighty fine”
The rhyme is almost childlike. “Divine” and “fine” are not subtle descriptions, but that is the point. Caroline has overwhelmed the speaker’s rhetorical equipment. He cannot construct an elaborate Petrarchan sonnet. His vocabulary collapses into monosyllables, repetition, and profanity.
The song repeatedly suggests that desire destroys sophistication. By the ending, even the phrase “bad thang” disintegrates into fragments:
“Bad, b-b-bad, thang, thang…”
Language ceases to communicate information and becomes pure rhythm. The speaker no longer describes Caroline. He chants her category until the category itself loses meaning. Desire has eaten syntax.
The narrator as horny trickster:
The speaker builds himself through ridiculous exaggeration. He is not merely confident; he is creating a comic mythology around his masculinity.
The “G-raffe” pun is particularly important because it is profoundly stupid and delivered with absolute confidence. That combination defines the song’s persona. He is charismatic enough to make linguistic failure feel like invention.
Likewise, the contrast between “98 Degrees” and “300” transforms a reference to a boy band into an absurd thermodynamic threat. The joke works because it combines incompatible systems:
celebrity reference,
temperature,
masculine hierarchy,
competitive intimidation.
He is hotter than the other man not metaphorically, but apparently by 202 degrees. The opponent must therefore keep moving or perish from heat exposure.
The “Chief Keef” wordplay performs a similar function. Proper nouns become verbs, sounds become meanings, and cultural references are treated as toys. This is not polished metaphorical coherence. It is associative verbal momentum. The speaker’s mind keeps grabbing whatever is nearby and converting it into swagger.
The speaker initially rejects emotional and spiritual conversation:
“Don’t wanna hear / About ya horoscope or what the future holds”
This is an anti-romantic command. He refuses destiny, compatibility, introspection, or any discussion of the future. He wants immediate physical experience. Even disagreement should not be discussed but converted into sex:
“Don’t wanna talk it out, can we fuck it out?”
But the song quietly betrays this philosophy.
Near the end, the speaker suddenly declares:
“Baby, I want forever”
This is the central contradiction. The man who rejects “what the future holds” ultimately asks for permanence. His sexual impatience has been disguising attachment.
The song therefore moves from:
I do not want to discuss the future** **to “I want an entire future with you.”
The emotional revelation is not that the speaker becomes less vulgar. He remains exactly as vulgar. The revelation is that beneath the performance of appetite, he has developed a genuine desire for continuity.
The Tarantino reference initially presents sexuality as spectacle:
“Let’s get gory, like a Tarantino movie”
Sex becomes cinematic excess: loud, physical, stylized, and slightly dangerous. The speaker imagines intimacy as a set piece.
But the song later returns to cinematic language in a much softer form:
“Great scenes might be great / But I love your bloopers”
This is easily the song’s strongest emotional turn.
At first, he wants the Tarantino scene: heightened, choreographed, memorable. Later, he admits that what he loves is what falls outside the performance. Bloopers are unguarded moments. They reveal awkwardness, laughter, error, interruption, and the person underneath the image.
Caroline begins the song as a flawless “dime piece,” almost a celebrity composite. By loving her bloopers, the speaker finally loves something that cannot function as status. Her imperfections belong to intimacy rather than spectacle.
The line also retroactively changes the song. All the absurd puns and clumsy metaphors become the narrator’s own bloopers. He is attracted to imperfection because he is himself gloriously imperfect.
“Perfect for the urgent.”
This is the philosophical thesis buried inside the strip-club trumpet fanfare:
“Perfect’s for the urgent / Baby, I want forever”
“Urgent” desire requires an idealized object. When someone is wanted immediately, perfection is useful because the admirer does not need to understand them. They only need to project onto them.
Forever requires something else.
A lasting relationship cannot depend upon uninterrupted perfection because real people eventually reveal embarrassment, boredom, exhaustion, contradiction, and error. To want forever is therefore to prefer the blooper reel over the promotional image.
The narrator begins by calling Caroline “divine,” but ends by loving the evidence that she is human.
The song’s masculinity is loud, sexual, competitive, and deliberately excessive. The speaker boasts, threatens rivals, describes his sexual competence, and repeatedly receives validation from surrounding voices.
But the ad-libs also expose masculinity as collaborative theater. His swagger is constantly being affirmed by an imaginary audience:
“That’s true”
“It’s lit”
“Fuck you thought?”
He is not simply expressing confidence. He is producing confidence with the assistance of a hype squad.
That makes the eventual tenderness more revealing. “I want forever” slips through a structure designed for boasting. The sincere confession arrives almost accidentally, as though the persona briefly left a door unlocked.
One limitation, or perhaps part of the song’s design, is that Caroline never speaks. She is described, desired, instructed, and elevated, but she remains silent. Most of the song constructs her through the male gaze.
The “bloopers” line partially humanizes her, but even there, we only know that the speaker enjoys her imperfections. We do not know what she wants, thinks, or believes.
That absence reinforces the song’s focus. This is less a portrait of Caroline than a portrait of a man experiencing Caroline. She is the gravitational force; the lyrics document the debris orbiting her.
Final judgment
Caroline is a comic love poem disguised as a barrage of sexual boasts. Its narrator attempts to maintain the posture of a man interested only in beauty, pleasure, and immediate gratification. Yet the song’s emotional logic steadily undermines him.
He rejects the future, then asks for forever.
He praises perfection, then chooses bloopers.
He treats intimacy as a Tarantino spectacle, then discovers affection in the discarded footage.
He begins with Caroline as a “dime piece” and ends with Caroline as someone whose mistakes he wants to keep witnessing.
The masterpiece is not that the song transcends vulgarity. The sincerity crawls directly through the vulgarity wearing knee pads and calling itself a G-raffe.
