Uhm, I think that's more of an individual characteristic. Besides, aren't all types control freaks in their field of expertise? I'm guessing you're INTP, it says so in your profile, so I'm guessing you're socially handicapped. Now imagine how it would feel for an ESFJ to watch you? It would be like watching a cripple dance, so painfully obvious you need help. So the ESFJ tries to help you be better and you perceive it as control as they are always correcting you on how to do things they are good at (Well, they think they are good at... let's say things they are confident in). I'm sure you do the same in your field of expertise. For example, do you try to correct the logic of F types? Because in my book that would be being a control freak.

We worked closely with each other a few years and build an odd friendship -- I was good at thinking and framing and creativity and understanding things, she was good at relating to others and getting things accomplished and being an active force in any situation. Her strengths were my weaknesses, and vice versa -- and we confused each other at first because neither of us could understand why the other one would do something a certain way.
We actually discussed all that, in snippets and chunks, as our friendship grew, and informally "took each other under wing." She would ask me questions when she was afraid she was getting off-course, getting my insights on a particular situation; meanwhile, she would give ME advice when she saw I was not being assertive, or letting people take advantage of me, or perhaps where I could have handled a social situation in a more positive way. We both benefited a lot from that friendship."Hey Capa -- We're only stardust." ~ "Sunshine"

I like how ENFJs are manipulative and ESFJs are loving and caring

Hmm, somehow I find it amusing to take 4 words to describe a type, tone then down to three, yet use 2/3 of the same words for different types. I don't know why... but it seems rather funny.
Mine?

04-27-2007, 01:36 PM #18Ok I saw that. what the heck!?But are ENFJs manipulative because they are trying to get you to what they think would be best for you out of a near-smothering desire to care for you?"At points of clarity, I realize that my life on earth is meaningless, and that I am merely a pawn in a bigger game.
