Hi Mike,
thank you for your advice.
I added ‘On Desire’ to my Amazon Personality wishlist. That sounds like a good starting point.
My ESFP friend does well with my freakouts or verging on freakouts to keep me more balanced. And I find I return the favor for him. Go figure, we have different freakouts in each other’s strengths.
Thank you for replying,
Trev
I’m an INTJ, 5w4.
I wanted to thank you Mike for sharing your journey in personal development. I did resonate with a lot of what you said. I really discovered Personality Hacker almost a year ago. So I’m a few steps behind where you are. So I not only resonated but found your sharing helpful.
In terms of social interactions, I have always felt like I was the odd duck. I still haven’t felt like I learned to really develop the social networks that well. Mom has told me that when I was 7, I was having intelligent conversations with her friends. I don’t remember thinking I was that smart at 7 to do that. I just thought I was having a conversation with an adult. I actually don’t recall being told I was smart back then at all.
The Se was food for me, not alcohol. I don’t think it works as well as a social lubricant. I now have a healthier relationship with food.
I find what trips me up more is Fi. I’m learning to listen to it more as a gauge. I used just to try to shut negative emotions off or ignore them. Very bad habit. I’m slowly learning emotional intelligence and trying to manage Fi with Te.
Funny enough, my best friend since I was in my teens, is probably ESFP. I haven’t gone through the profiling training so I’m not sure. I find he has been my mentor in being cool. I don’t think he realizes this but I kind of back off my plans with him so he can exercise Te in a less stressful situation. But I take over with Te when he needs me to be. Truth be told I’m contingency planning on what he comes up with. I just keep quiet about it.
I get the To Do list and I habit stack.
Thank you for sharing,
Trevor
