i prefer to let others have more control over the things they care about and let me control the things i care about or go neutral and leave each other alone about it.

Its amusing when people try to control me when they don't have the slightest modicum of discipline, concerning themselves. With that said, I like it when someone feels slightly superior than me, because my love his evoked and my interest is held when this occurs. I'm a lot to handle, and if someone can handle it, I find it arousing.

Are you sure you're ENFJ? You write very Ne-ish.

I am live and let live. There are times you need to try and control though, it is either control or be controlled. What I mean is, a big part of making live and let live work is taking control of your part. And that is going to mean you need to control others to a certain degree in some circumstances. As far as being controlled myself, if I trust the person and can see the value I will let someone control me.

There have been two people in Vent who have said ENTP. What is your reasoning?

Def not ENTP. They don't have the sort of aptitude and sentimentality you do in your writing. I guess I've just never come across an ENFJ who writes authentically the way you do. There's usually a lot of chuzpah and uplift as opposed to your somber and poetic analysis.

To be free is the greatest pleasure. And the more freedom the greater the pleasure.

To be free from religion is a relief. To be free from work is exhilerating. To be free from family is a gift.

Yet we are born free but everywhere we are in chains.

Many people say that, ya. Me not think it for true. Me avatars no matchup wit da INFPs. (patois rant)

Are you a people pleasing masochist or are you a self-absorbed masochist? Pick your poison.

people hate the idea of INFP, because of the stereotypes, which are wrong %90 of the time.

It's natural for me to be in control. It's not something I actively seek, it just happens because of some subconscious drive I guess. My boyfriend is the same way. How I feel if someone else tries to control me? All I have to say about that is, good luck. ;)
