Me: Walks Into Living Room Tv: Tonight On How Its Made Me: Stands In Same Spot For 30 Minutes Watching

You know you're an ENTP when #157

sometimes, your mind is too fast for your mind to realize that you have just made a complete circle in analyzing all the possible perspectives, and you are suddenly wondering why is this subject boring.

enneagram & unconscious beliefs that are holding them back

type 1: "I have the moral high ground. I need to make sure all of my actions are justifiable."

type 2: "If I am loving, I will be loved back. If I don't go the extra mile to meet others' needs, I won't be."

type 3: "I am the most competent and impressive because others don't work as hard to succeed as I do."

type 4: "I deserve to be victimized. Others reject me because there is something wrong with me."

type 5: "Withdrawing until I arrive at a complete understanding will compensate for my vulnerabilities."

type 6: "If I stay vigilant and observe who is the most trustworthy, I can stave off danger and loss."

type 7: "I'll stay positive and keep my mind stimulated, because dwelling on pain and fear is pointless."

type 8: "I have the most strength and grit; I need to make sure nothing poses a threat to me or those I protect."

type 9: "Whether or not I am okay with what's happening, I need to avoid provoking conflict and unease in others."

Temperament Classrooms...

A classroom 100% comprised of NTs. Complete anarchy.

A classroom 100% comprised of SPs. Straight up chaos.

A classroom 100% comprised of NFs. Crazy and Unproductive.

A classroom 100% comprised of SJs… This actually might work.

I’ll chime in re: ppl mistyping as so blind recently

Are you ready for some grade a 8 core 4 fix so blind edge? Here we go.

I get it, I really do. On the internet, when we aren’t being cringey Reddit anime-villain-monologuong types, we ALMOST appear cool. Right? Not caring about followers, not caring about pissing people off, valuing the truth and saying the truth over being well liked or being comforting or being professional (wtf is being professional on the internet anyway… you know the types of people in this community I’m talking about)

But please remember that being so blind is actually extremely negative. It leads us to being really edgy irl too. It leads us to pointlessly driving people away; writing people off just because we “didn’t click”; disappearing without a trace; anime-villain-monolguing irl; did I mention being really fucking edgy; purposely starting problems; being “that guy” at parties whether it’s the person making negative comments unnecessarily, the person starting an argument with everyone, the person that leaves early and upset the person who threw the party… the list goes on.

it leads to being hated.

It leads to less employment opportunity because we hate networking regardless of our skill at it. It leads to being a social outcast. It leads to forming bad, codependent relationships or abusive ones because the people you “clicked with” were horrible but the chemistry was just too good to pass up when you go through life hating everyone and everything. It’s constant negativity (at least to people with so).

And most people aren’t comfortable with being hated and being an outcast. And that’s a good thing, because while so blinds are needed in a lot of areas requiring impartiality, being “ok” with being disliked, and cloistering oneself off from society (academia, the government, etc) most jobs, most opportunities, most LIVES do not revolve around that.

Take that attitude you see from us online and begin to apply it to irl circumstances. Think about how many people we drive away. Think about all the opportunities we miss, usually on purpose. Think about the generally rather crushing sense of loneliness any social variant might feel in our circumstances.

This isn’t something to pretend to be or to aspire to be. This is a special kind of personal hell– one that so blinds don’t mind, or even LIKE, but hell all the same.

There are prices to be paid for being so blind constantly, for saying what people don’t want to hear, for challenging convention or simply just not going along with it… why would you want that when it doesn’t have to be that way for you?

So blinds are, yeah, that istp antivillain in the trenchcoat sitting in the corner at a party reading philosophy. Or your really cool eccentric professor that wears weird ties and likes his job way too much. But so blinds are also the type to become terrorists, school shooters, and cult leaders.

Don’t just look at the positives. Realize that each positive of every blindspot comes with many negatives, so blind included.
