Hey guys it's Melissa. Welcome back to Melissa Talks. Today we're going to be going over the five
ENTPs weaknesses. These are weaknesses you need to keep in mind. I've discussed our weaknesses in
the past, but I'm just adding on to it because um they're multiplying. I don't know what's going on.
Um let's just get into the video. Okay weakness number one. Sensing is how you perceive the
world. There's two ways you perceive the world. Through your intuition and through your five
senses. Everyone perceives the world through both of these. So Si internal sensing is your
weak function. That is your inferior function. It's the fourth function within your stack. It's
the function that gets overlooked constantly. I've always explained this as implementation.
It is how a system keeps running. Si is also your subconscious. Si which is our subconscious
is our dom function in our subconscious. So technically ENTPs arguably have the most,
how do you say this, dense subconscious. Your subconscious is your collective experiences
compiled together to give you internal insight. Your mind is constantly making memories of what
it deems important. If it thinks that you might actually be able to benefit from this
later on in your life it's going to store that information for you to be able to recall
on it later. Now have you ever been in a situation where all of a sudden you acted on impulse? You
knew what to do without you actually thinking about what to do? You just knew what to do.
That's your subconscious. Okay your subconscious is always working. It's always keeping track
of your past in order to help your present. So normally ENTPs suck with this. Normally with Si
is our weak function we're not good at staying focused, we're not known for being consistent,
we're not known for being detail-oriented. We struggle with all three of those things.
Normally Si users are actually incredibly good at these things because those things are needed
in order to keep a system running. It is how they are applied in order to solve the problem.
Application. Implementation. Does that make sense? Just like you acted on impulse, do you actually
know how to finish a project? Do you actually know what to do can you actually stay consistent? Can
you actually keep track of all the details? Can you actually stay focused? All of this requires
implementation. All of this involves something internally telling you just to get it done.
Just do it. As an ENTP it sucks to know what we are capable of. I can write a detailed to-do list
on every single thing I need to do in order to complete my goal xyz you know what I mean. I
know as an ENTP what to do to solve my problem. I know how to solve the problem. Will I solve this
problem before getting distracted by something new or be sidetracked by another problem?
I don't know. How do you stay focused ENTP? This is the information everyone seeks. It's
torture to know what to do but struggle to do it. Staying focused on one singular thing is
simply not an ENTP strength. So what is going to motivate you ENTP? What will shift your focus?
So in my personal opinion I believe Fe. Your humanity and the people around you is going to
be what motivates you. People is what is going to motivate you in the long run ENTP. People is going
to keep you focused. ENTPs are not bystanders in any type of situation. We will solve problems
handle situations and get [ __ ] done. I've always said this. When push comes to shove who actually
does the work required? Who actually keeps moving forward? Who actually keeps creating change?
ENTPs. People always motivate ENTPs. We like people. I've said this so many times. Despite how
annoying and frustrating people can actually be. Yeah other people create a lot of problems. But
you know what ENTP? You're good at solving them. So help out. ENTPs you are an extrovert. Even
though you're 50 50 you like to be around people. Yeah you can be alone. Go down your rabbit hole.
Go down your rabbit hole. We all do it. But guess what? Every single time you get out of a rabbit
hole what are you seeking? Who are you seeking? You're seeking people. And what what do you want
from the people? You want to converse, you want to debate, you want to explore, and you want to
socialize. You seek to have your ideas challenged and you find others to go on new adventures with.
Despite every scary and lonely stereotype we may have, what do we always seek out? People. Who will
we always defend? People. So you like people ENTP. Despite how annoying and frustrating they may be,
they are your greatest motivation in life. Your most productive time periods you have probably
been surrounded by people. hHave you not? Yeah you can totally go work alone and go work on your own
things. But guess what, how many times did you get distracted while trying to stay focused? How many
times did you just forget what was supposed to happen? Even though people create their own set
of distractions you're pretty good at actually solving whatever you need to solve or accomplish
whatever you need to accomplish or complete whatever you need to complete when you're around
people. You're incredibly good at utilizing Si. When you're alone though, yeah and Ne runs your
world. You're gonna get distracted, you're gonna totally forget to actually finish your to-do list,
you're just gonna create another one because why not. But when you're actually around people and
other people need stuff from you and need things completed or they just need your help, guess what,
you're going to do it. You always do it. You are a team player despite how isolated you prefer to be.
How many times have I told you ENTP that you are out of touch with your reality? Se is extroverted
sensing that is our very last function within our stacking. ENTP meaning there are so many
other things for us to consider think about and actually do before we actually consider using Se.
Which in a sense is our current reality. Normally we're run by Ne which is extroverted intuition.
So we're thinking about all of the possibilities, so we're in our heads a lot. We're not necessarily
in the real world. With Se you're reacting to all of the possibilities right now, right in front of
you, in real time. High Se users utilize all five senses to understand their world. They're focused
on the what versus the why in all regards of life. What is happening? What are the facts?
What needs to get done? And what are they feeling right now? When you go into entertaining and
performing mode ENTP you're actually quite good at utilizing your Se. Please note every single time
I have stated that you utilize Se in a very good way you're stimulated by people. I've stated that
Se gets triggered when you're going into a high stimulating environment which includes parties,
clubs, and your school setting. When you're around a lot of people and around a stimulating situation
you're able to utilize and strengthen Se. But here's the thing, ENTPs do not always want to be
around people. We don't always want to be stimulated by people. There's a lot of times where
we want to be alone and this is where Se becomes our worst nightmare. When you're not around people
and you go back to using Ne as your dom perceiving function you go into your head. You're focused on
all of the possibilities. You're not thinking about your reality. So dishes stack up within
your sink, your room gets extremely messy, and you simply forget to be a human to other humans.
You're probably alone in these situations. You're not stimulated with other people
therefore you're not reminded to think about your current reality. You're in your head. When you're
too much into your head ENTP you totally forget Se. You totally forget your reality. It is your
last function like I said. There's a lot of things for ENTPs to consider before we consider do we
need to clean our room. Like let's be real. That's the last thing on our to-do list okay. We know
where everything is in our room. By looking at a room you might consider it messy, but trust me we
know where every single thing is. It just doesn't look like we know where everything is. Another
example for how ENTPs forget to utilize Se is also when we're young in social situations. We might
not have fully honed into all of our skills. Let's say you're in school, I'm going to give an example
from my past, and let's say you're having a great conversation and you're talking talking talking
you think everything is fine. You're talking with all of your friends and then awkwardly you realize
the whole entire classroom is looking at you. And then you realize you have been the only one
awkwardly talking when everyone else is trying to do something else. Yeah, when you're young you're
not the best at knowing maybe when you cross the line, maybe when you've gone too far, maybe when
a joke is maybe not appropriate for the current situation, and maybe you're just not aware of when
to shut up. When I was young I will let everyone be well aware I was quite annoying. It took me a
while to figure out the proper social balance to entertain properly without being annoying. To put
on a show and perform in the best possible way. There's a lot of learning involved in this. You
have to learn how to look up and look around. You have to learn how to utilize all five senses. You
have to know how to actually be in touch with your reality. What is actually happening around you,
how are people actually reacting to you, there's a lot to it. But as you train yourself to actually
look up and look around, look into your own reality, what is actually happening around you,
how are you actually feeling, what are you actually doing, are you actually accomplishing
anything. When you change how you perceive your world, you enhance your world ENTP. It is not
all in your head. There are so many things to consider right now. So stop fixating on what if
and actually start considering what is. What is happening around you right now? Start reacting
to your current reality. Today we're going to be talking about the values and morals of the ENTPs
other known as the blind spot of the ENTPs aka Fi aka internal feeling. How do we feel about things
ENTPs? As an ENTP you need to constantly remind yourself that our behaviors and decisions will
always shock the masses. Of course there always be ones that agree and understand our decisions,
but they are few and far between. Why why do all of our decisions and behaviors shock the masses?
Fi is your blind spot. It's the second from the last. Fi is internal feeling. ENTP I touched on
internal feeling on our greatest weakness. I said our greatest weakness is our relationship to you.
Do you remember why I said that? Fi is difficult to explain because it is how you internally feel
about something. Essentially your moral code. But ENTP we struggle with this greatly mainly
because we simply do not know how we actually feel about said relationship. ENTPs are always going
back and forth literally on everything in life. Because we're always absorbing new information,
taking in new perspective, bringing in new logical information, and connecting the dots from there.
If a new perspective or new idea makes sense we will disregard or discredit our previous thought
process. We're constantly evolving and seeking more knowledge. We are quick to change our stance
on things. This is what scares a lot of people because ENTPs are not consistent in our behaviors.
ENTPs are not consistent in our decisions. ENTPs are not consistent with what comes out
of our mouth. Because our greatest weakness is our greatest superpower. Why do you think there are so
many ENTPs and ESTPs that do YouTube? Think about the biggest players in the game right now. I'm not
saying I'm one of them, but I want you to actually think about the longest lasting YouTubers in the
game right now. Which ones are the controversial ones? Which ones are always in the drama? Which
ones are always on the headlines? Which ones does everyone by chance know their names? How
many YouTubers are on YouTube? Answer that. Now how many can you actually name off? Now the ones
you name off in your head right now how many are ENTPs and ESTP? Probably 99% of them. Do you know
why ENTPs you last the longest or ESTPs you last the longest on the internet? Normally the internet
scares a lot of people because of the comments, of the concerns of others, other people's opinions,
how people view them, their perspective. Does that phase you ENTP? Does that? We're
all human so of course words do have an effect on us. But in accordance to the other 16 types,
we don't necessarily care about your opinions. Therefore it's going to take a lot to hurt us.
It's going to take a lot to deter us from our goal. And it's gonna take a lot to stop an ENTP
in their tracks. ENTP spends little time deciding how we actually feel about something. Of course
we are in touch with our emotions. Everyone always talks about ENTPs have no emotions,
they're morally corrupt, oh my gosh they're so scary, don't ever get mixed up with them.
No. No. We just make the tough decisions that you just do not want to make. We can make the quick
decisions and eliminate the noisy distractions. By noisy destructions I'm talking about emotional
input when making a decision. When you are making an important decision,
is it known to really actually use emotions while making that decision? Normally people say
keep your emotions in check when making a decision yes. Yes yes. So depending on the situation,
do you not actually see that as a superpower for the ENTP? The thing that scares everyone is that
when the tough decisions need to be made we always make them. And that scares people because we do
not hesitate to make said decision. We will do it incredibly quick despite the repercussions.
And that scares people. The fact that we are so quick to just disregard people's emotions
and values to actually get something done. Yes. When we're young we need to take significant time
to actually figure out what do we actually value in this world. What are our morals?
What are our boundaries? What lines will we actually not cross? As a young ENTP you actually
needed to find that for yourself. Like you need to take a couple days and self-reflect because if you
don't actually have a rough overview understanding of your own values and morals that's when it gets
kind of scary and I don't suggest it. So ENTP what is important in your life? Can you answer that
question? Our actions after we define our values will be more efficient and effective at reaching
our goals. And ever so often update them, tweak them, but never forget them. Today we're going
to be talking about the unconscious mind of the ENTP other known as our shadow functions. ENTP
when you are in a very stressed and let's say unstable situation you will inherently play by
different rules. Because your previous rules that you were abiding by obviously were not working,
so you kind of shift how you do things. The last four functions within our stack ENTP
those are the four main functions of the INTJ. When an ENTP is unhealthy and they don't know how
to deal with the situation they will automatically default into the INTJ personality. When you are
threatened or you are unsafe or you are just unhappy with what is going on around you ENTP
you will change your behaviors. You will not come across as an ENTP. Now when we are threatened we
go from seeing all the possibilities to simply just one. To an ENTP that's not our norm. That
is not our typical everyday behavior. That is unproductive for an ENTP and it's kind of the
start of our downward spiral. Normally we go from Ne to Ti. All the possibilities and then analyzing
them and actually thinking through all of the possibilities. When we are in a very bad mindset
and when we are neglecting our own personality we fixate on Te. This is the part that's going
to make the people around you cry. This is where we are ruthless with the people around us.
Think about how you feel when you go to your parent with a new idea or I new anything and
you just brought your parent with something and that parent just rips apart whatever idea you
brought to them. They highlight every missing part of that idea that you neglected to think through.
They highlight your incompetence to actually think through a proper idea. They possibly belittle you
and make fun of you and say this is why you're not an adult child. They are kind of critical of your
behavior. Therefore what do you do you lash out. You hurt everyone around you. If you're hurting,
I've said this many times in many videos that when an ENTP is upset when an ENTP is an emotional
state you leave that ENTP alone you leave an ENTP alone when they're an emotional state.
This is why. Because when they are unhealthy and they feel threatened and they don't understand why
they're dealing with a problem and they're just pissed off and they're impatient with dealing with
said problem that is causing this problem they can identify who caused it who's contributing to it
who overlooked it who is just ignoring the problem who possibly is dealing with the problem but maybe
they're not dealing with the problem fast enough. They can highlight every single thing wrong. If
you cause the problem and they can figure out how you contributed to the problem they will go
through said problem and identify every mistake you made. They might say that in front of a ton
of people. They will embarrass you. They don't care about the repercussions. They don't care
if they hurt you in the process. They're trying to figure out the problem and if you and your
feelings are getting in the way with it we will get rid of you because you are contributing to our
problem that we don't want to deal with anymore. So really quick if you're a subscriber and you
watch all my videos in order you might have seen this. Yes this is a good example. Don't worry
I caught it in time, but this is why we need to keep our weaknesses in the forefront of our mind.
When we're actually in a healthy mindset and we actually use Te we actually highlight the possible
problems in a very nice sympathetic humanitarian way. We can do the same things in a healthy way.
The whole concept of understanding your shadow ENTP is understanding unhealthy behaviors. A lot
of ENTPs will use the strategy of hurting their loved one beyond repair. They need to get to
the next step of just getting rid of the person they've identified they're causing the problem
they're not happy they need to be rid of this person. So a lot of ENTPs will hurt that person
beyond repair. They can identify all of the weak spots within that person. We know what will cut
deep. We know what hurts. We know which buttons to push. Do you get what I'm saying? We can already
identify all of your faults. We knew them all throughout a relationship. We just didn't mess
with them because we loved you and we didn't why would we do that. And they decide just kidding,
I just want to be rid of this person. This problem I just don't want to deal with anymore, yeah a lot
of ENTPs will default to hurting that person beyond repair. We know exactly which buttons
to push to completely make you hate us. Weakness number five might only apply to me but I'm going
to give my perspective on the matter. Ne rules are mind, so we're a bit scatterbrained. We go
off on a lot of tangents and we ramble. We ramble a lot. So I am sorry that you all had to endure
that. I will do better with my storytelling in the future. But um I think I got all the data I need
and summary I've avoided tapping into this for a long time. And I didn't realize obviously before I
did all this research why I was avoiding it. Now I actually fully realize why I'm avoiding this.
So here are the five weaknesses and here are my suggested solutions.
It's a new year ENTP. Go make the best of it. I will talk to you all soon. Bye.
