'STEM fields can get some great internships that are paid. Also, learn some basic web dev using a content-management system (Word press, joomla, etc) and then build websites for people and show them...
I only really troll in real life now. And even then, I make sure to spread the sarcasm around to everyone including myself frequently. Also try to avoid anyone who is obviously having a bad day...
By doing the opposite of what your rational mind tells you to do. Don't run away or suppress it, but explore it with an open-minded, compassionate curiosity. Of course, you may need some time...
Part of this has mentioned here, but make sure you are following proper sleep hygiene https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_hygiene#Recommendations Other than that, I would focus on finding a...
Thanks, I haven't thought of that last part before! That's clever! Another one I heard recently was: If you're in an elevator with small children, ask them to press the button for your floor...
What observations have my fellow ENTPs made about how to easily make someone's day better? Even if the person isn't necessarily sad or upset, but just the usual. The person in question can be...
I haven't taken the test, but I think this comment captures the two different ways ENTP's are social chameleons. First, take an ENTP with low Fe. This is the immature trollish asshole ENTP. The...
This. When I'm around all my introverted friends, I will slowly accidentally start to dominate the conversation, or at least definitely start/carry a lot of the conversation at first. But my...
Unless you go up and punch everybody in the face, I doubt everyone dislikes you. The trick is when you start having these thoughts you need to find a way to make them stop before you get stuck in a...
I think it is typical for ENTPs to feel that way. Especially if we are close to burning out or are burnt out. When burnt out, we're trapped in Si in the worse way, and nothing seems to excite the...
And how are you handling as of now? What do you believe brought you to this position?
Do you feel any responsibility to others in your life? If so, what is it? What is it directed towards( family, friends, society, humanity, etc)? If yes, do you think this is due to your Fe and Si,...
Idk. It would be situational, depending on who (if anyone) was around me. I would probably focus on comforting them - sharing the first memory that comes to mind that involves me and them, throw in a...
1) You leave the library with 20 books on 40 different subjects ;) 2) You have several downloaded pdfs, epub books, programs, etc 3) You no longer remember where you got the majority of those...
Well, shouldn't inferior Si help temper down Ne? Aren't they opposites in that regard? If through meditation one could strengthen and learn a little control of their Si, couldn't they then learn to...
Thanks everybody for all of the suggestions. I can temporarily distract myself with similar things Polemic, unfortunately however, one can't do these things when they are trying to sleep. Despite the...
Does anyone have any recommendations for a good resource on meditation that easily speaks to an ENTP's mind? I'm hoping to learn meditation so that I can quiet my brain sometimes, and also...
1. What is the best way to initially connect with you? I don't mind exchanging pleasantries at first. Or even a little small talk. But if you want to keep my interest/connect with me, then...

The best way I can describe it is using a computer science analogy. In computer science, we often use a thing called inheritance in order to avoid duplicating code and also easing code maintenance. ...
I hate talking about myself and used to suck at receiving compliments. Although I have been told that at times through humor I'll be both conceited but also self-effacing.
If I'm with a group of close friends and we are watching a movie, I'll crack jokes throughout it sometimes. They know they can tell me to stop though, or we can always rewind. When a movie...
I think it is this that then turns into anxiety. To me, ENTPs (and INTPs?) seem to be very present to future oriented people. I personally at least live very in the now. Whatever I am working on and...
Sometimes I can stop thinking for a very short term by focusing on a very simple repetitive motion such as cleaning out my electric shaver or washing dishes. I guess I think more of my sensations ...
I'm not sure I would. If I did, it could spawn an existentialist crisis. Did I just destroy time? Am I now still the same person? :p Basically, all of my mistakes - no matter how major or minor at...
This this this. I'm going through this now. I've always, for the most part, just intuitively conversed with people and it always seemed to work out. But once I start to analyze it or think about it...
I'm currently burnt-out in the fact that I overextend myself in order to keep my options open. I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do in life (currently in college) and so am hesitant to...
Whenever this starts happening to much to me, I am very quickly reminded in some situation that I myself don't know a lot about life or a skill. For instance, I would be helpless out in the forest...
A mentor who I connect with intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually. A direction. The ability to not have to sleep. Creativity. The right amount of unbalanced balance.
In high school I started identifying myself as a libertarian but I stopped that. Mostly because it carries an image of being Ron Paul or some other extreme position. I guess now I'm more of a...
The responsibility can help, but I think primarily you just need to change the way your thoughts process. Fake it until you become it Amy Cuddy: Your body language shapes who you are | Video...
Going to a new place can help one make a new start, but it isn't the cause for that new start. Any change - ultimately - won't be depending on where you are, it will depend on yourself. You...
I'm not sure how to describe it honestly. I guess the best description is it is a more raw emotion, which makes sense if this is a lesser function. But I'm starting to like that aspect of myself now...
When watching sitcoms/reality tv shows/etc, I can get very uncomfortable during embarrassing/awkward scenes. I am always drawn to whoever is being left out from a group activity and go talk to...
No, we need to develop newspeak. Why go through the pain and energy of censorship, when we can just build it right into the language? [shudders]

That's funny. I only like people who don't like me. I think we just became best friends Revenant. This is the beautiful beginning to a one-sided bestfriendship!
You're the reason I had to pick JD Salinger as an avatar and not Camus ;) Albert Camus is the only philosopher who I have actually read more than just an excerpt or summary of. Reading The Myth Of...
I can be impulsive. Not sure if that is more the fact of my age (19) or of cognitive functions per se. Also, sometimes my actions/thoughts appear impulsive to others because I don't always explain...
Take a public speaking course? I was required to in college. I was lucky to have a good class and good teacher that were supportive. But in the worse scenario, most people will probably zone out...
Short version: This is one of the names I use for non-official, non-real life business. Long-version: I had to come up with an email to sign up for some software program for my high school band...
I forgot my smartphone and I'm on the toilet, and all I got is this shitty book The last person to read this wins my money 365 Days - A once-per-day manual for your daily existentialist crisis...
I would research the perfect toilet architecture, so that dust doesn't collect, and that there will no longer be an argument between a man and a woman over how the seat should be left after use. ...
If you are taking summer classes, it will be harder to also fit in internships or research, which is more important for beefing up your resume. Also, at least at my school, summer classes are...
The one I'm trying to remember: Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle The other one that symbolizes my life philosophy is in my signature.
I'm sure this has been said but Age of Empires II and Age of Mythology I spent so much time just reading the history sections from those games, and then going to the local library to read more...

Assuming I've had enough sleep (big assumption), I don't really laugh at my own jokes. I might start laughing at others' laughter from the joke though. I do occasionally chuckle though from some...
If a spider, or almost any insect, is minding its own business, I won't kill it (else I feel guilty). However, if it is near a personal area (bathroom sink, bed, etc), then unfortunately it must be...'
