Life as an ENTP.

By TMC – November 7th, 2024

To be an ENTP is to live as a bundle of contradictions. You’re the personality type that can charm a room one minute and crave solitude the next. You fit in everywhere yet feel at home nowhere. You’re capable of almost anything but held back by a fickle sense of motivation. Often, it feels like life is a string of opposing forces, always tugging at you from both directions. 

Let me expand on this…

Fitting in Everywhere… Yet Nowhere

As an ENTP, I can engage with anyone, adapt to any situation, and blend in where needed. But while I fit in, I don’t always feel like I belong. I can connect deeply, yet there’s a nagging sense of detachment a part of me watching from the sidelines, analysing and adjusting.

Arrogant, Yet Painfully Aware

The confidence that comes with being an ENTP often walks a fine line with arrogance. I know my strengths, yet my faults are always in clear view, as if a quiet voice keeps reminding me not to get too comfortable. Self-assured, yes, but self-critical to an extreme.

Capable of Anything, Motivated for Nothing

ENTPs have endless potential, but that can feel like a burden. I’ve learned I can master anything I set my mind to, but my mind doesn’t stay in one place long. It craves novelty, shunning routine. This push and pull between capability and motivation creates endless frustration an itch that can’t be scratched.

Witty and Charismatic, With a Low Tolerance for People

ENTPs are often the life of the party, quick witted and charismatic. But there's a limit. As much as I love discussing world events, I need space. The paradox of an extrovert who fiercely guards their solitude makes it hard to explain to others why I disappear after a great night out or dodge social calls.  I am the most introverted extrovert. 

Great Advice, Rarely Followed

Here’s an irony: ENTPs are fountains of wisdom. I’ll give you advice that could turn your life around, yet when it comes to my own, I stumble. Knowing what to do and feeling motivated to do it are miles apart.

The Sleepless Nights of an ENTP

Since I was about nine years old I knew I was a night person. Doesn’t help that I have insomnia. With a mind that’s never still, sleepless nights are almost inevitable. Every idea, observation, and emotion collides in a constant, restless churn. The very traits that make us engaging, insightful, and dynamic are the same ones that keep us from peace. I mean take right now the time I am wring this blog is 3,22am.

In the end, the paradox is a unique struggle. It’s the price we pay for living life on a different wavelength seeing patterns, ideas, and opportunities others may miss but often feeling like we’re adrift. As much as it frustrates those around us, the sleepless nights and endless contradictions are nothing compared to the quiet battles within..

Being an introvert

Being an introvert is something, that many go through and I wonder why this is such an extroverted world?

- asking mum to call the dentist, because otherwise you would need a few minutes to practice what you want to say with a sheet of paper in your hand, reading it off with a shaky voice 

- being awkward when it comes to first meetings, too many questions in our heads “What should I say???”, and nothing seems good enough and the longer the silence is, the more likely you are to not say anything at all because THAT would be even more awkward 

- having almost panic attacks when only just raising the hand in class, teachers being more than glad to use the rare opportunity of listening to your voice 

- sometimes knowing things, but not sure enough to say them and then the extroverted guy from your left reads it from your lips and says it. He is getting all the praise and you feel like the world is not treating you right. 

- often told that we seem cold and stiff when we talk in front of many people, well, it just stresses us out, how are we supposed to smilllleeeee.

- feeling awkward most of the time when interacting with people we don´t know (customer service, people on the street, neighbours)

Well, the list could go and on, but people... Please don´t see introverted people as the “silent”/”shy” ones, we don´t have to be and we also don´t always want to be alone (even if we also enjoy that). We are not always shy and quiet, it is just that some situations really go against everything we are. We just don´t feel like it and sometimes thats why it does not come automatically, but more like a rule we are supposed to follow. Thats why we are also afraid to make mistakes in acting like extroverts. Maybe it is time, that society changes for the better of both.

When we dine out alone, we rather go casual and always eat at the bar instead of getting a table. So much more fun, people watching, chatting with the bartender or who ever are sitting next to us. I used to hardly say a word unless questioned (major introvert 🐢🐚). My husband is just the opposite. He can talk about anything with anyone. It seems that going grey, getting healthy and fit, has also transformed my shyness ie., got me out of my shell and helped build up my social skills. I seem to enjoy interacting more with not only friends but strangers too. Yes, I still feel the uneasiness and I guess some stress but am slowing working past that.
