Not fulfilling type ideals to the max

[Ghost of the dead horse]

Here I am, ENTJ who's not leading anything, who's success is low, trying so hard.. I own my clothes and debt. I'll probably work everything out just okay in the end, in few years.. perhaps everything will even be great. I'm just a far cry from some power-figure, rich oligarch or something like that.

So, how does it go for ENFJ who don't melt faces with their social prowess?
INTP who isn't the shining light of knowledge?
ESTP who's really not that high with street smarts?

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy my life - love, even. I'm happy. I think about success a lot and I wish for it. I speak about it a lot, too, and I strive for it. Just that, objectively speaking, my life story just isn't incredible enough to celebrate right now.

Perhaps I'm not an average ENTJ either. Perhaps I'm this and that, perhaps a below-average ENTJ when ENTJ qualities are concerned

So, what's it like not to fulfill the real, or imagined type ideals? Stories, please.

I'll forever be looking for a portal into my own fantasy world, I'll say that much.

 

[Quinlan]

I'm not an artist or musician.

...yet.

Thing is... My stereotype is so easy to follow that I do it with ease... basicaly screw up life... I think that if you stereotype requires more work it is easier to contradict it... Mine is like a default setting

One thing about me that does go against the grain though is the emotional stuff. Contrary to the stereotype... I'm not all hallmark cards and kleenex tissues at the ready... In fact I am probably less emotional than your average NT

I'm still working on developing that flux capacitor.

I really don't get all this crap about motivating others or being inventive. I'm as lazy as they come.

Geez I forgot about the whole motivating thing Sy... I can barely motivate myself

 

[Orangey]

Yeah, I certainly don't measure up to the INTP genius stereotype. I'm not secretly brilliant. And I haven't done any real math for at least 3 years.

I'm very lazy and extremely messy.

Most ENTJs are really pizza boys who obsessivly fantasize over being rich(Although to be fair they did make it to manager in only 3 months).

Most INTJs are pasty faced nerds who spend their nights planing world domination om their heads.

Most INTPs are pasty faced nerds.

Most ENTPs are Cosmo Kramer esque weirdos.

I have never invented a goddamned thing.

We're analysts, silly.

Something you've just proved by your analysis of your own failures.
