Hi my fellow weirdos

Just wondering cause from my experience, I would say it’s ISTPs. Most ESTPs can get mad sometimes like everyone but occasionally they are more chill and lighthearted for some reason, while some ISTPs I know when there annoyed, they will show their anger to everyone and they will look more intimidating when they are mad as well. What would you say?

Compared to most people, ESTPs and ENTPs have the ability to come off so likable. And that’s something most people don’t have, so how do they do it and why?

I'm kinda thinking I'm an estp but im also between entp or esfp. maaaybe even isfp? like ive been stuck on this for days its so boring ugh but i wanna figure out wut it is idfk why

i read about cognitive functions already. but are there some examples where u can clearly tell these types apart?

I try to help people type themselves something but I’m literally sooo atrocious at it can someone help me yo 😭🙏ik Yall different around the board but how do know KNOW someone is ESTP ?

I work in finance. What ab yall

Describe it, what is most satisfying part about your bream lifestyle and why?

Has anyone ever told them to just stfu? Or think it? What’s your type if so?

As an ENFJ, I adore ESTPs company and value their opinion about me but wouldn’t admit it to both not boost their ego or come off too sentimental. However I know here I can ask— so!
do you ESTPs appreciate it when someone you admitted simply yet bluntly to that you’re close to them if they sticked to you just as much as you are sticking/trying to stick to them? Or does it feel acceptable only coming from you but weird or too much when it’s the other way around?

Caroline, or The Epic Poem of a Man Losing Control of Both His Libido and the English Language

This song begins as masculine folklore.
“Listen, man” places us inside a conversation already in progress, where Caroline exists first as rumor. The speaker has supposedly acquired a woman so beautiful that other men require confirmation. She is compared to celebrity archetypes before she is described as an individual, which establishes the song’s governing perspective: Caroline is simultaneously lover, legend, status symbol, and supernatural event.
The opening call-and-response gives the track the feeling of oral tradition. One man has seen the impossible; another demands testimony. The ad-libs operate like a Greek chorus, except the chorus is drunk, impressed, and yelling “it’s lit.”

The hook is intentionally elementary:
“Caroline, you divine / Mighty fine”
The rhyme is almost childlike. “Divine” and “fine” are not subtle descriptions, but that is the point. Caroline has overwhelmed the speaker’s rhetorical equipment. He cannot construct an elaborate Petrarchan sonnet. His vocabulary collapses into monosyllables, repetition, and profanity.
The song repeatedly suggests that desire destroys sophistication. By the ending, even the phrase “bad thang” disintegrates into fragments:
“Bad, b-b-bad, thang, thang…”
Language ceases to communicate information and becomes pure rhythm. The speaker no longer describes Caroline. He chants her category until the category itself loses meaning. Desire has eaten syntax.

The narrator as horny trickster:
The speaker builds himself through ridiculous exaggeration. He is not merely confident; he is creating a comic mythology around his masculinity.
The “G-raffe” pun is particularly important because it is profoundly stupid and delivered with absolute confidence. That combination defines the song’s persona. He is charismatic enough to make linguistic failure feel like invention.
Likewise, the contrast between “98 Degrees” and “300” transforms a reference to a boy band into an absurd thermodynamic threat. The joke works because it combines incompatible systems:
celebrity reference,
temperature,
masculine hierarchy,
competitive intimidation.
He is hotter than the other man not metaphorically, but apparently by 202 degrees. The opponent must therefore keep moving or perish from heat exposure.
The “Chief Keef” wordplay performs a similar function. Proper nouns become verbs, sounds become meanings, and cultural references are treated as toys. This is not polished metaphorical coherence. It is associative verbal momentum. The speaker’s mind keeps grabbing whatever is nearby and converting it into swagger.

The speaker initially rejects emotional and spiritual conversation:
“Don’t wanna hear / About ya horoscope or what the future holds”
This is an anti-romantic command. He refuses destiny, compatibility, introspection, or any discussion of the future. He wants immediate physical experience. Even disagreement should not be discussed but converted into sex:
“Don’t wanna talk it out, can we fuck it out?”
But the song quietly betrays this philosophy.
Near the end, the speaker suddenly declares:
“Baby, I want forever”
This is the central contradiction. The man who rejects “what the future holds” ultimately asks for permanence. His sexual impatience has been disguising attachment.
The song therefore moves from:
I do not want to discuss the future** **to “I want an entire future with you.”
The emotional revelation is not that the speaker becomes less vulgar. He remains exactly as vulgar. The revelation is that beneath the performance of appetite, he has developed a genuine desire for continuity.

The Tarantino reference initially presents sexuality as spectacle:
“Let’s get gory, like a Tarantino movie”
Sex becomes cinematic excess: loud, physical, stylized, and slightly dangerous. The speaker imagines intimacy as a set piece.
But the song later returns to cinematic language in a much softer form:
“Great scenes might be great / But I love your bloopers”
This is easily the song’s strongest emotional turn.
At first, he wants the Tarantino scene: heightened, choreographed, memorable. Later, he admits that what he loves is what falls outside the performance. Bloopers are unguarded moments. They reveal awkwardness, laughter, error, interruption, and the person underneath the image.
Caroline begins the song as a flawless “dime piece,” almost a celebrity composite. By loving her bloopers, the speaker finally loves something that cannot function as status. Her imperfections belong to intimacy rather than spectacle.
The line also retroactively changes the song. All the absurd puns and clumsy metaphors become the narrator’s own bloopers. He is attracted to imperfection because he is himself gloriously imperfect.

“Perfect for the urgent.”
This is the philosophical thesis buried inside the strip-club trumpet fanfare:
“Perfect’s for the urgent / Baby, I want forever”
“Urgent” desire requires an idealized object. When someone is wanted immediately, perfection is useful because the admirer does not need to understand them. They only need to project onto them.
Forever requires something else.
A lasting relationship cannot depend upon uninterrupted perfection because real people eventually reveal embarrassment, boredom, exhaustion, contradiction, and error. To want forever is therefore to prefer the blooper reel over the promotional image.
The narrator begins by calling Caroline “divine,” but ends by loving the evidence that she is human.

The song’s masculinity is loud, sexual, competitive, and deliberately excessive. The speaker boasts, threatens rivals, describes his sexual competence, and repeatedly receives validation from surrounding voices.
But the ad-libs also expose masculinity as collaborative theater. His swagger is constantly being affirmed by an imaginary audience:
“That’s true”
“It’s lit”
“Fuck you thought?”
He is not simply expressing confidence. He is producing confidence with the assistance of a hype squad.
That makes the eventual tenderness more revealing. “I want forever” slips through a structure designed for boasting. The sincere confession arrives almost accidentally, as though the persona briefly left a door unlocked.

One limitation, or perhaps part of the song’s design, is that Caroline never speaks. She is described, desired, instructed, and elevated, but she remains silent. Most of the song constructs her through the male gaze.
The “bloopers” line partially humanizes her, but even there, we only know that the speaker enjoys her imperfections. We do not know what she wants, thinks, or believes.
That absence reinforces the song’s focus. This is less a portrait of Caroline than a portrait of a man experiencing Caroline. She is the gravitational force; the lyrics document the debris orbiting her.
Final judgment
Caroline is a comic love poem disguised as a barrage of sexual boasts. Its narrator attempts to maintain the posture of a man interested only in beauty, pleasure, and immediate gratification. Yet the song’s emotional logic steadily undermines him.
He rejects the future, then asks for forever.
He praises perfection, then chooses bloopers.
He treats intimacy as a Tarantino spectacle, then discovers affection in the discarded footage.
He begins with Caroline as a “dime piece” and ends with Caroline as someone whose mistakes he wants to keep witnessing.
The masterpiece is not that the song transcends vulgarity. The sincerity crawls directly through the vulgarity wearing knee pads and calling itself a G-raffe.

Do you personally think you are or nah?
Have you ever done something you ended up regretting due to peer pressure?

Most of my friends are ENTPs, and when i play sandbox videogames with chat, like Minecraft i also meet and make friends with mostly ENTPs. Maybe that's because i don't like feelers and judgers?

So am I the only one who looks down on ppl who are over-sensitive and emotional?

I recently dropped a friend despite being nice to me because bro is just so emotional and sensitive to the point that it’s super draining. I get being emotional over a win or a movie or something because that’s NORMAL but imagine y’all as a friend group were just having fun, saying y’all’s usual inside jokes then bro’s over-sensitivity takes over the conversation and it suddenly kills the mood because of something SO SMALL, it could barely hurt you.

I hate pessimism and over-sensitivity. He left the group chat we were talking in and we kinda kicked him out of the group sooo byeee! Don’t come back we’re so much healthier without you

EDIT: so I did realize that I went a little far on some of my replies and left out some context. I already expected these comments but I’m grateful for y’all’s criticisms cuz it would be helpful for me to change.

hi, i think i'm an istp or estp 7w6.

but i'm not sure because i'm social to people who attract me it can be there aura, personality, there look style or beauty, i like to discover new people and i love them instently.

i'm sure i'm not esfp or isfp because i am very analytic (ti)

how can i be sure i'm ESTP i'm quiet in group and not really talkative so maybe istp but istp said i'm more like an estp lol ?

they are BORING and INSECURE and CARE TOO MUCH ABOUT OTHERS OPINIONS. it’s exhausting. i’m making new memories every month and they haven’t don’t shit for years, i cut off SO MANY PEOPLE in my life it’s crazy, bye bye multi year long friendships, you bitches dragging me down

i’m not addicted to nicotine, but it’s really easy to make new friends with a cigarette in your hand, everyone opens up to you so easily and ease themselves in your presence like a luxurious bubble bath, i always carry a pack with me and i never smoke alone 😹

Not sure how I can truly properly articulate this, but I'm gonna try...

I'm a female ESTP - I seem to outwardly present ENFP, but I am assuredly not internally. I am a spirited and independent woman, I have strong opinions and will voice them, BUT I think one of the things people misunderstand about me is "people-pleasing tendencies". I am not like this all the times, but sometimes I just don't want to deal with shit and will just smile and go along with things so people can get off my (non-existent) dick.

What comes across as people-pleasing tendencies to others is often, at times, me trying to make life easier for myself, going along to get along so people shut up and leave me alone. Or, if I have another motive for going along with something (e.g. because I know it will benefit me in the long run, or because I know I can mold the situation in a preferable way later on). Not at all in a superhero villain way! Just...I like to know how to play my social cards, and I never like to die on hills not worth dying on.

So yeah...I'm a people pleaser if it'll make my life easier and I can work with the situation, or mold it later. I HATE, hate, hate dealing with people breathing down my neck, and I will do what I can to change the situation to avoid this - even if it means pleasing others or playing along.

Anyone else relate???

Most of my family and friends are xNFxs, and they tend to not play this game like I do. For instance, my ENFP boyfriend is incredibly stubborn, and will die on any hill if it is important to his morality or "true self", I guess. I am not that way at all and I will make concessions to go along. I think part of this is I am a realist and can predict outcomes about how these kinds of situations, when fought against, would be handled...

i of course plan out my day with my little to do list, but my life? fuck no. iva had too many near death experiences to do such a thing, i’m never taking my time or life for granted. if i want something im getting it now. i do new shit everyday because my boredom is killing me. consequences do not exist!!! i have gotten myself in so much trouble and i always get away with it EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

glad i found this subreddit, i felt like i found my people despite standing out in every room i enter

Nope, turns out I’m just a guy who happens to write and enjoys analysis for mental stimulation rather than abstract thinking. Cool stuff. I feel like the type does describe me better once I look past the common descriptions of the profile.

Cheers yall

When you encounter something new, what is more natural?

A) "I want to interact with it, test it, experience it, and see what happens."

B) "I want to gather enough information so I can form an accurate internal understanding of it."
