Maybe the aggression shown in this video does help you on your quest:

They're like turtles in my terrarium and I'm the nasty God dictating their joy and pain. Ugh. How neurotic. :doh:

Hmmm. Could they be more like elaborate and well-crafted puppets who serve to tell a story? It is a bit neurotic in the sense that it is one way to see things that you have latched onto with alacrity. But, surely there is another way to see things that is more helpful?

Reality is consensual.

You know, the ENTP girl I'm friends with is absolutely gorgeous. Doesn't give a crap about fashion or beauty, but is still really pretty and could be a model if she wanted to.

So... jealous... :mad:

Pics please! :alttongue:

But seriously, I think ENTP's are quite aware of how they look all the time. I sometimes find myself consciously trying not to care too much about how I look.

That said, I score a 2 on a scale from 1 to 10 when it comes to fashion sense.

Just a few more polygons to work with and that would look real.

But does that make Wyst and Neptune Set's observation any less valid? I think for them that wouldn't change their assessment, merely fortify it - i.e. you can't rely on a "person with a million friend's whose personal investment I can't gauge nor whose loyalty I can rely on"

I think it's a common charge from introverts to extraverts that extraverts seem to have too much on their plate to focus on their particular friendship/relationship. In particular that ENXPs are 'flaky' or hard to gauge 'true' interest.

But see, there is an assumption in that assessment- which is that an ENTP has millions of friends. If you asked me how many friends I have, I'm not going to say "oh, millions", I'm going to say "about ten." That makes a big difference. I would take a bullet for those people, and I am extremely loyal to them.

If you can't gauge my personal investment or rely on my loyalty, it means that you haven't earned enough of my respect and trust and/or shared enough experiences with me. We aren't quite friends yet. It has nothing to do with how widely I socialize. I can assure you that I always make time for the people who deserve it. ;)

That said, I do call a lot of people my friend. And I reckon they actually are, I'd sure as hell be there as a friend for every one of those millions of people. The difference lies in who I would call if I needed a friend.

how do you determine who YOU would call? what is the criteria?

And yeah, most all the younger entps I know have tons of friends in like a big loose network and then a few very close friends. It's just how they are.

+1, it is an emotional and convenience thing rather then a thought through decision.
