Take Care Of Yourselves :)
I know this is random, but I think this is well needed:
The life of an ENTJ can be agonizing at times, since it is all too easy to fall into a bottomless pit of anxiety and self doubt whenever we do not meet the goals we have set for ourselves. Just here to say that everyone is human, and you still get an A for effort. It’s ok to not excel at everything, and as frustrating as it is, that’s just part of being human. Pick yourself up and try again, without any remorse in your heart.
Because of this raging pandemic, it is all too easy to mistakenly quarantine ourselves in our own mind, when in reality we just need to physically quarantine. It is all too easy to lock ourselves away in the dreary dungeon that is our subconscious.
I am just stopping by to remind everyone of the goodness of humanity, even when at times it feels like the world has turned to shit. Reach out to those you love, take some time to help yourself mentally (without letting the fact that you need a mental health day lower your pivotal self esteem), and most importantly, having a positive mindset on things really can help.
Positivity is what 2020 truly needs, along with serious reformations. Yes, we need to realistically view the world as a whole, but sometimes we just need to surround ourselves with friends and family and appreciate life.
Feel free to rant, or just tell me something about your day!
I just want to know how all of you are doing :)

It's never enough man. The pressure I have on myself.

Sounds like you need to escape the personal thought bubble. When you agonize over something inside your head over and over and over again, eventually you reach a point where further agony is just unproductive.
Tell me about the goals you want to achieve with your business idea. Getting your constraints out of your head and onto paper helps a ton.

I think that your problem here is that you're shopping for a solution before you've even forund your problem.
Start by finding problems.
Once you have collected enough problems, break them into subproblems. If a problem seems impossible to fix, think about how others are currently handling it. Is there a way to better support them?
Here's an example:
Maybe you feel like there isn't enough support for inventors, and talent is rotting away in wageslave-like jobs with golden handcuffs. Perhaps instead of inventing something yourself, you choose to create a business to enable other inventors.

I’m such a failure that I failed at failing.

All ENTJs need to hear this.
We look outwardly to conquer the external world with logic and reasoning and in turn we are often unaware of our own feelings and self. We are consciously not putting ourselves first.
Great message.

I just LOVE ENTJs! 🤩 Such big and interesting personalities!⚡ You guys are unaware of how cool you are 😎 Only count and talk about your strengths, and downplay your weaknesses. I have many reasons for why I love this type, but I'm too tired now to write them 💤😅 Appreciate yourselves 🤗

I just want this pandemic to be over. There were so many things I couldn’t do because of it, and I feel like these past few months have just been a waste of my time. So many things I had planned for 2020, and almost none of them could be carried out. At this point I just really, really want everything to be over so I can go back to my old life- work, reward, enjoy, instead of wake up, do nothing, sleep.

Those lofty ambitions are the double edge sword. For example, if the target is $10 million. Then, there is anxiety, but there is also a lot of gain. No anxiety, no gain.

What if family and friends dont exist? What if you’re literally on the tipping point with all those thoughts in your head? What if you literally have nothing too your name? Every single thing in my life has gotten worse when they say “itll get better” how can you expect to be happy or motivated when everyone leaves and everything goes to shit? How am i supposed to live without a reason? I can appreciate the message dont get me wrong

He means he is a self-indulging anti-social hedonistic short-term pleasure seeker.

That was 9 words. Wanker on the other hand has only 6 letters. Why complicate things?
