Adam, Sorry I am blowing up your comments, etc today. Just had some time and necessity to try to get my thoughts/emotions tuned up. Regarding emotions, I have always been a proponent and preached that "emotions are neither right nor wrong, they just are" and that how we react/act on them is either right or wrong.. Maybe that is a little too simplistic, but if so, please let me know. As an ENTP, I always struggle with deep emotions that I dont' know how to interpret logically,. I easily help others deal with their difficulties and emotions but then afterwards, have to retreat into a state of confusion dealing with what just happened. I help others but cannot figure out my own stuff. I'm ok with that, since I think I am doing some good. Just gets tiring.

Hey Adam, wanted to comment on childhood being an ENTP, my childhood was very good actually, wonderful parents. But I was the oldest and the oldest grandchild so I was constantly called number one. It seemed to me that much was expected of me even as a young age. Nothing that could be considered oppressive but my father owned a construction company that was large and when he and his brother had issues with the company, I was asked to start a new company for everyone and start running it at the age of 22. I had not been to college or anything, but because I am an ENTP I actually did it and started a successful company that took care of 10 families. A reason for saying this is that it’s not necessarily an oppressive childhood, but what expectations are and sometimes what you’re asked to do. Keep doing what you’re doing, bro. It’s really helping a lot of us out here..

Thanks Adam. I was hitting some low points today and I decided to watch you again and you helped me figure out why my thinking mind is trapping me again. I really have never heard anyone describe how I think and perceive things better than you, buddy. Not to tell you what to do, even though that’s kinda easy for us, but hopefully you’ll keep doing these videos. Once in a while soon we can figure out how to deal with all the other folks and not totally condemn ourselves in the process . 😅

ENTP my ass. Speak faster, wtf is this, I'm tweaking over here

You were so helpful for me. My husband is an ENTP and I feel that he would never do what you just did. It’s important to him to appear content at all times. I’m just so I’m so grateful and relieved to hear these things. I am an INFJ and although my husband LOVES my depth and feeling, when I prod him for those things he comes off as aloof, prideful, debating, detached from any heart (this is specifically concerning spiritual issues because he’s very insightful otherwise with all other subjects). Well, thank you for being vulnerable✨

There’s a time and place. That is the only words I would tell myself those years ago. Thanks for sharing this. It is a gem in the mud. happy. Hyper Fast detailed planning = improvisation. Our phases are temporary and they repeat. We are moons. We just have to look to see the beauty.

Accepting Jesus Christ to my life helped me a lot and eating raw eggs and some times raw beef and steak makes me feel awesome and all a round health life.

Man this video was very relatable. as an ENTP myself i understood everything you said on a deep level

As an ENTP I can offer you my 2 cents that may help you in finding your true self. ENTPs, surely I for one, are rational Metaphysicists. You may understand the mechanics and science of physical/material world very well, may be too well, but your true calling is in the realm of unseen. On a philosophical level, Neo-Platonism would be a good start. On religious level, Pernnialism might surprise you if you haven't already explored this.

I finally understand the ENTP perspective. Well said.

I'm an INFP, who relates deeply to not feeling like I have a place in society. Being not yet fully developed on extraverted thinking myself, it's difficult for me to get out there and provide value to others, as the world has constantly "brainwashed" me on thinking I have to be someone I'm not to give something useful. Hearing you though has made me realize though how freakin important it is to have introverted feeling. To feel connected with God, yourself, and how you feel. It kinda makes me realize the value I've always had, but never really gave enough gratitude for having. You're doing great though. Like how I struggle with getting big things out into the real world, I find I need a lot of help to actually do that. It may even take decades to reach that place. No matter what "weakness" you may have, it's important to know that you have strengths to give! It's easy to forget because it becomes second-hand nature to us. As for those "weak points", we're all gonna have em. If we didn't, there would be no growth. Like how I'm trying to get better every day with getting my stuff more out there, I believe anyone is on the right path, so long as they're trying to get just a little bit better every day, especially on their weak points, and then using what you're strong with to provide value. Whether you realize it or not, you provided value to me today. Thank you! 🙏

Hi. I'm an INTJ, and I have a book recommendation that is written from an INTJ perspective: "Lucid Waking, The Answer To The Problem Of consciousness" by Jack Tanner. It's a 522 page book all about psychology and the nature of existence itself that all NT types should read. It's already helped me figure some things out and the more I re-read a few chapters here and there, the more things click together like puzzle pieces. On a second note, I struggle with my blind spot extroverted feeling due to just not paying attention to social norms or graces that others expect, making me seem cold and oblivious to the sensitivity of others. This causes issues from time to time, but I've been learning to integrate these considerations in my dealings with others. Trauma response can be a great teacher if harvested properly. Sometimes something good can come out of something bad, if you learn from mistakes and separate your actions from your total self. Learn not to hate yourself for your past, but to simply hate the behaviour that you mistakenly performed at the time. You might not have known better then, but you can know better now as a result. Your past doesn't define who you are. It just gives you the starting point to who you're going to be.

As an INFP, the more I observe and learn, I feel like an ENTP would be able to understand and accept the inner the chaos that we often have. (That most people are afraid of or find too messy.) And they seem to struggle with a lot of the same issues. I’m beginning to appreciate you guys more and more.🥹🙏🏻

I am supposedly an ENTP and when you mentioned that of identifying were one is. I did not point towards myself at all. First I thought in abstract, as if I was in all of the places I have been, then me being in earth, then the places I virtually see even in google street view. Finally here, my room inf front of my laptop, my personal space. But my own body? Last choice for some reason. If I had to point somewhere in my body, I would have to choose my hands.

I’m an ISTP in a relationship with an ENTP. I feel for you guys and girls. I can see how hard it is to be an ENTP in this physical reality. You are so valuable for our world. I like and appreciate and feel respect for ENTPs. I learn so much from you and have such great conversations with you all. I see how beautiful and pure your hearts are and how capable you are when you decide to take action. You are a gift to the Earth.

It sounds like complacency, and not a problem with being a particular type. I haven’t watched your other video yet, but you had the word “narcissist” in the title, so I see you’re aware of the root reason for this complacency. 🤨 If you’re bored, LEVEL UP. What is your bigger WHY? Why do you think you were born into this life? How can you be of service, using your gifts? Maybe your efforts have always been SELF-FOCUSED, and that’s why your world is so small. Create concrete goals towards using your efforts to CHANGE something in society…SOLVING societal problems. Identify other ENTPs in the wild, who are public figures, and look for healthy models. There are individuals of every single archetype that are content with life, and since we all, to a degree, differ in the way we define happiness, your own archetype is probably closest to how you experience the world. For me, I never had any guidance or role models to look to, but I did identify people whose sensibilities were similar to mine. Without knowing or being able to test or confirm anyone’s MBTI type, I was able to keep what I found useful in my observations, and discard the rest, paraphrasing the famous Bruce Lee quote. -an INTJ woman, 50 yrs old

As an ntj type i can confirm you don't have direct access to your soul / self. You can quantify some abstract "self" in your brain. But that is not it. One of the thing I used to develop these days is not thinking while I am interacting with the external world. [deal the world with your heart. And deal yourself with your brain] A man with an ego ca be crushed. A man with a stronger self cannot be destroyed. That is one thing.

Great video. I have never personally met another ENTP besides myself, at least not knowingly. The juxtaposition between analyzing other’s feelings but not knowing our own is very true for me. You are right western culture is not set up for us. People have been amazed with me my whole life on how I can excel at all my careers I’ve had, but the down side for us? Once we have felt we have tweaked or optimized processes or systems, or whatever the job you have is done we rapidly lose interest, time to move on. For me that meant changing careers 6 times in my life, not just jobs, completely different industries. I do so envy people that can hunker down and work a profession most of thier lives, we do not get that luxury, I mean we can of course, but we would be miserable. I agree with most all your points, but I try to be optimistic in the sense that I try not to dwell on our shortcomings, but celebrate our strengths. Thank you for the video, and keep looking for new horizons!

Being an Entp is like the character of the great american hero, we wear a superhero suit with superpowers, but we lost the instructions book, we can start flying just to end up crashing against rthe antennas of the roof. Its also like driving a ferrari without having a licence and being high on weed and ritalin at the same time

Entp adhd here.

may God bless yall

100% agree..

Don't hate being an ENTP my friend, idk how old you are (even if that's not really relevant) it can get better if you work on things ! I know I have gotten really better (just got 30) P.S. : even tho you could probably spot me as an ENTP from a distance 😂

Adam, I have never heard anyone as much as I’m research this describe my thinking and feelings like you just did when I watched this. Decades ago I thought I was crazy, but I kinda understand intellectually things a little better now. Thank you so much. I agree being an ENTP sucks. So easy to figure out stuff and know things and in a crisis no matter what it is figure out exactly what everyone should do. But at the same time not being able to follow through on anything or stick to anything or start anything, especially when working alone. Thanks again

6:00 - 7:39

Thank you, Adam! Even from an objective point of view, we’re pretty much perfect. (that people sometimes get jealous and misunderstanding us.) And yet, we are so incredibly critical of ourselves. Is this our mission or something? Meanwhile, those ESFPs are out there living it up like there’s no tomorrow. this may be overthinking, but here we go: sometimes, when I lose confidence in myself, I can’t help but wonder if someone else is benefiting from it. And when that thought hits me, it pisses me off just enough to get me moving.

Heyy Adam! Thanks this helped and was funny 😂 It's nice knowing you're not the only one going thru this all and some other person faces the same potato feeling too. Maybe we shouldn't think of ourselves too much (I was supposed to do that or I've wasted time etc etc) it's GONE. Gone gone. Better see what you can do now 🙂 nd what lies ahead, things aren't that bad, you aren't that bad ! Nd you know that Soo, despite the potatoness, work ! Do it! And be patient with yourself too :)

Imagine the world is a vast ocean, for me, it is like I can see the whole ocean, the entire surface of it, and I can see what is inside the ocean, but I never really submerge myself or dive deep into this ocean. I am always floating around on the surface, just dipping my feet.

Subtypes of entps (8w7) no matter what generally have very similar experiences, I resonate with a lot n many others do aswell

No, screw ups! Was placed in foster home, more wicked was they! Today I’m strong And everyone can F off according to me. And I give myself the love I deserve today! And I think you did a good take of the ENTP! Super authentic and real 👏🏼🔥♥️⚡️🫨😎😎😎😎

you took the words out of my mouth (or head ig). Being an ENTP is like knowing so, so, so much but not knowing how to deal with it because communicating our thoughts is never easy. I also noticed that when it comes to other people's emotions/behaviours/lives, we're so incredibly skilled at analyzing and understanding them, yet we can never understand our own. I don't know who I am. I don't know how to implement my ideas and i don't really have this grasp of myself the way it seems every other type does. ENTPs are living proof of "jack of all trades, master of none", and it's so frustrating, knowing so much about something but never enough to do anything with it, because that's what's valued in this world. I'm so disconnected with everything that I feel like I'm living on autopilot and not really experiencing anything. I have no routine, no sense of direction in life, nothing. I'm grateful I'm able to pursue higher education, but idk wth im gonna do with it. That was my entp ramble, anyways thanks so much for vocalizing this. Good to know I'm not going crazy.

i sat here an listened to you. I appreciate you for opening up your vulnerability to us in a video. Takes up courage to do something like that for me as an INFJ. To be honest i didn't know that much about ENTP until now, in this deep level. i am grateful that i get to learn more from this video to understand more about ENTP. i find how being an INFJ is also very painful for me, like a blessing and curse. Hard and surprising to find someone who struggles and feels this deeply about themselves, though it's beautiful. Many moments in life i live through pain to who i am, but to make it into a video like you? you admire you for that fr! Great video so far, and pls feel free to make more videos. I'd love to learn more about you. - INFJ

Bit entp are the funniest and witty people i know xD -Concerned infp

entp is adhd

Regarding the fear of being seen through; people can only see what you show in the context and not anything else although it could feel like it. I had this fear and this was a big one that my therapist told me. If one feel like they feel or think that something is true for an example it should not matter what others think about that in a way. People also see what you give out through their own psychological lens too. I mean it is inevitable. One could still hold something true and also accept the other ones reaction.

Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors⛵️

Suffering is preferable to the easy, normal way.

Lately im scared to look at myself at the mirror for toot long, it didn’t happen since 3 years. I know exactly what to do but there is sine kind of force that is countering myself and i end up going back to the old toxic habits instead of the healthy way that i know what to follow. It’s like the fear of harming others with the plain truth hold me back, however i can’t ignore it. It’s starting ti hurt me deeply however everyday i try to get back to the truth that i know even if it disadvantages my position in the eyes of others. We are a highly complicated and easy to misunderstood bunch. But, when we fund our inside strength and focus we are almost unstoppable to the point that it even scares ourselves Improvement is the only salvation. Also the hard step of self respect and value what we like instead pf sabotaging ourselves like it’s comfortable to do; i am writing that during hangover but i believe that I’m on the right path right now. Thanks for your advices and your channel.

Hope you get better and better. I can feel your pain, especially when you talked about watching the river and never being in the stream. Actually I think it's really what is really scary about depression. I personnally would compare the healing path as a roller coaster. Especially at the beginning but little by little everything becomes more calm. By hearing you, I'm sure you're going to get through this. I've been struggling with depression too. And it has been a wild ride. But now I'm considering I'm good even if not everything is figured out. But don't need to figure out everything to get better. I've also dealt with high perfectionism. But I've been burned out of it. What healed me of it is seeing the beauty in imperfection. Now, I really appreciate imperfection and see it as a part of the beauty of this world. Also I think it's reaaally easy to be perfectionist when we set high expectation to ourselves but it's a sort of self sabotaging process. I do agree when you talk about strength and weakness. As an infj I also have a sensing inferior function, which is quite difficult to deal with sometimes. I wasn't conscious about it but for years, I've been living constantly through my inferior function and it put me a lot of stress because I will never be an estp for example. I tried to be constantly aware of the world I lived in but I couldn't understand why I couldn't manage to see or understand things like the other persons. I was just fleeing from myself, by diminishing my strength. But now I've took this power back, I've recognized who I am and not over comparing with other people which is absurd when you start understanding cognitive functions etc. Sport is certainly an ally for people with low sensing. I personnally loved martial art. Well I'm stopping here because it will become too long perhaps. Take care 👍💪

I'm 27 intp and i feel like shit, hi

It's worse to be an infp take it from me.....

Hi, ENTP here. It was really beautiful to see you bare such raw emotions early in the video, and the way you describe the bond between you and your INTJ friend is truly precious. I can also notice your shift, and relate to it - that even when I have really strong emotions, like where I sob or even scream in anguish, I tend to calm myself down quite quickly - I assume by applying my cerebral capacities. It is a bit strange to see you show this; as it is so very relatable and recognizable in my own life. You talk about feelings running deeper, and I remember talking to my partner (an INFJ) about how despite being keenly aware of myself in a relational sense within a structure of people, cognitive functions, goals, perspectives et cetera - I have a real struggle seeing 'my role'. It took me a really, painfully long time to find my own role, my self. However, when we talk about Fi, and my individual (felt) sense of self, it has been much harder to get a grasp of. Writing poems, and also contact improv, has been ways to gently strengthen and lift 'who I am' as a felt sense out of the subconscious. But it is surprisingly hard to do. I could imagine that being with an INTJ helps with connecting with this, as they can understand this side of you, and give you useful feedback. I still imagine it must take a lot of courage and having done some inner balancing to show that which you showed in this video. But mastery and knowledge about oneself is a really great reward in itself, and it is the most precious gift I know. My main drive/motivation is related to relationships. To have truly mutually enhancing relationships, where we are seen to the depth of our being. And I have noticed how focused and "judging" I am in my Ti, that when facing my INFJ partner, I have seen my own adamantium rear its head. I would say the realization that I have my own dogmas has lessened the feeling of "not being useful" anywhere a lot, by this goal being a personal purpose that I want to realize. At the same time, I am not sure how long it would have taken me to become aware of it without someone to challenge me. Going forward, there is nothing I long for more than finding more people who share a similar vision. And even though I am aware of what I want, I am more aware of what I am lacking to achieve it. How instrumental and important people are for me to be my best self, is both a boon to know and also weirdly difficult to be aware of. Without a back and forth with someone, I really don't function, and without a back and forth with someone on my own level, I can't improve beyond a rather average point - and what I find 'interesting' are all those realization I can have beyond that average point. It is nice to see someone encapsulate the ENTP, and who brings the emotions. Take care.

That doesn t seem like an ENTP video title xD You talk about emotions sooo much. Are you not ENFP?

ENTp? Sure? 🤔

so,, anyone with any idea how much of a paradox world a high Fi entp live in,, like me? :(

wow, has to be one of the sincerest confessions I've come across from an ENTP, thank you so much for sharing your heart edit: you look so sad and defeated, I hope you can work out whatever you need working out :)))

4:23 interesting K maybe gonna finish watching l8r.

ENTPs start peaking at like 30 anyway chill out you'll be fine/ Keep doing what you're doing. Look into the DMN (default mode network) and stop activating that area. Or ignore me. lol.. This comment could change ur life.

no it doesn't

ok
