Guys ...
While these last 8 posts are so aren't exactly off topic, they really aren't ON topic, either. They are a bunch of complaints about things you don't like about certain types, how stupid certain types are, how unreasonable certain types are. This is getting perilously close to the "bashing of other types" that I said I didn't want to be part of the discussion.
That's dumb.
I've tried accounting for what I've seen as common patterns with ENFPs but my post was mostly about lies ENTPs - people of my own type tell themselves - largely inspired by legitimate complaints people who have been close to Ne doms have had, based on behavior's I've seen as well as self-examination.
If you feel they don't qualify because they don't work by the same operation of "being true from a certain perspective" (and sticking to it), then you are countering the point of your own thread - asking for how different types lie to themselves and then filtering it by how similar it is to when your own type lies to themselves is pretty counter productive.
You are correct that Ni doms lie to themselves by forming a perspective from which they appear to themselves as correct and then refusing to see any other perspective, but how long does any Ne dom sticks by any perspective? By that standards we'd be perfect vessels of honesty, except we are far from it because we have an entire collection of our own strategies that are reliant on that very indecisiveness, because the support beams holding our lies are "It could be true". The lie is always going to be a result of how the person interacts with reality at large.
But I did just call out what you are doing on being dumb, so you know, do your hobby/volunteerjob the way you guys usually do and let prplchknz & poki continue to bring the thread back to "topic". Shame - I was actually excited - it was a thread concept with a lot of potential.
