ok the issue is i keep reading about psychology or anything else say history or someones autobiography and experimenting on close friends. for example complimenting them outside of any need, or analyzing them/their friend loudly in front of them... anything at all. Why cant i stop this? i just want o get along have fun and stop experimenting analyzing which alienates people . is this common with ENTJs? If it is do we need to stay hidden till something beckons us out of our hiding..generally confused
Well I'm new here and this will be my first post on this forum, but I couldn't resist. I have a friend that enjoys running his own social experiments as well. He enjoyed it so much growing up that he decided to become a psyche major and that's basically all he does now.
It's curious that you experiment on your close friends though. Why not limit that to strangers or acquaintances? I can't speak for everyone, but it has been my experience that when you are in a close friendship with someone there is a certain level of trust that is expected. Getting "experimented" on might feel a little bit like getting toyed with or lied to if someone views you as a "close friend". You might have better luck including them in the social experiments on strangers as fellow investigators rather than using them as test subjects. Good luck.
