[MBTI General] Easy, calm down, easy easy

Getting in touch with your inner consistancy.

Is this an E P N T thing?

I have found that I am not consistantly anything. Except in thought.

But i have this tendency to rush into things guns ablazing, soaking up everything I possibly could, then walking away. Unfortantly this extreme nature can be a bit of a burden sometimes. It confuses other for one. It makes impossible demands on you like, "I know your capable of this and this and this, do it now" When people assume that in the off times your being lazy. No one can run at such a quick rate all the time, but when I am all consumed I am more intrigued and comfortable. But yes then you need to stop and take stock of everything that you need to analyze that you didn't while you were running with it.

How do you learn to be slow and steady?


Any of you have this problem?



Good description of what I am talking about

you'll incubate your thoughts for a long time and then, out of nowhere, want to apply them directly. The benefit is that your thoughts are original and when applied correctly, they can be very successful. The problem is that others around you have not been clued into your thoughts until you're ready to run with them. They have not been prepared to assist you.

Wow, that's an awesome description. This is pretty much the story of my life .

 

[Darjur]

That's a P thing.

 

[INA]

Yeah, i can relate. I try to fix it by imagining how it comes across to the person on the other side of the nuttiness, because otherwise I assume they know where I'm coming from/going with something . . . usually incorrectly. Often the "come again?" will help to clue me in that I need to slow it down and lay the groundwork/context more before jumping in using my own incubated ideas/language.

 

[ygolo]

I can relate to this and I am about as Introverted as it gets.

 

[Frank]

That's a P thing.

Its an N thing. More often than not intuitives work in bursts of energy.

 

[Eldanen]

It's an N thing! It's a P thing! Maybe it's an NP thing? Let's spin the wheel!

 

[G-Virus]

Snip

Count me in . . .

 

[Frank]

It's an N thing! It's a P thing! Maybe it's an NP thing? Let's spin the wheel!

Or maybe it is just an N thing. I know many NJs who do the same thing.

 

[Darjur]

Could be, I probably made a mistake here.

 

[runvardh]

I guess I'll raise a hand on the "me too". I find I have to recognise when I'm getting into that mode and stop myself to think about it first. I have to make sure I have the time for it as well as the energy and then I do my best to pace myself. Doing this I actually managed to get my room clean yesterday with out the burn out in the middle.

 

[yenom]

Its a TJ thing not a P thing. TJ's are prone to overworking themselves to achieve some impossible goal. I gnerally piut play before work, and i onlt work only when i see some enormous beneift and personal gain out of it. Work that involves wasting energy is not worth my time. such as gaining the approval fo authority.

 

[simulatedworld]

Awww I've found my home. I can totally relate to all of that. The inconsistency comes from the NTP need to constantly analyze every angle of everything to death, and the accompanying realization that it's really damn difficult to find ways to rationalize all of one's beliefs and behaviors into one cohesive and all-consistent whole and still have time to live life and entertain everyone with our brilliance!

21/m ENTP here, by the way, who would love to meet some interesting ENTP females. I've dated ENTJ, ENFJ, ENFP, INTJ and even INTP, but I just can't find myself a sweet, smart ass ENTP lady! Where are you?

 

[Simplexity]

I don't know about sweet but I think ThatGirl would qualify for the smart ass requirement.

 

[ThatGirl]

I don't know about sweet but I think ThatGirl would qualify for the smart ass requirement.

I could be fuckin sweet Damnit!

 

[runvardh]

I could be fuckin sweet Damnit!

Care to provide examples?
