12. “Deadlines” of ENTP

ENTP brain measures time by: ideas, energy spikes and moods.

  1. If it’s exciting? You’ll hyperfocus for hours.

  2. If it’s boring? Five minutes feels like five days.

  3. If it’s urgent and interesting? You’ll crush it at 2am.

  4. If it’s urgent but dull? You’ll reorganize your email folders instead.

You’re not lazy. You’re not irresponsible.

=> You just operate on momentum, not maintenance.

=> Work in short and high-intensity bursts with short tasks.

13. Time isn’t real - but your burnout is

  1. Schedule recovery time.

  2. You get bored doing nothing, start another things.

  3. Catch the burnout signal.

  4. Learning to say “not now” without guilt.

  5. You’re learning to work with cycles, not againist them.

14. Charm, chaos and oversharing

  • Layer 2: Idea explosion

  • Layer 3: Existential fears and childhood trauma.

=> Why you overshare ? Because you value truth over polish.

  • Charm: high-voltage form of sincerity.

  • Tips:

    • Pause before the punchline: say to connect or cover something up.
    • Match pace, not just envergy: some people open slowly, if you blow the doors too soon, they shut them again.
    • If you go to deep, too fast => reset the stone and disarm awkwardness.
    • Find a safe welcome, where the chaos are welcome.
    • Let silence happen
    • Learn where to shine, where to soften, and where to just be.

=> But not everyone deserves front-row seats to your inner world. And not every room is built for your full volume.

  • Connection happens first, calibration second, critique later.

How to do:

  • Ask before you dive.

  • Signal affirmation early.

  • Read their energy, pace, not just their words. - Deep dives later, after build trust.

  • Practice holding space without filling it, people want to be heard, not challenged.

=> Intimacy grows in soft light.

When someone feels emotionally safe with you, they’ll invite your questions.

  • They’ll ask what you think.

  • They’ll want to go deep.

But don’t forget:

  • Not every thought needs to be flipped.

  • Not every idea needs to be rebuilt.

In relationships, your brain is brilliant — but your heart is what earns the invitation to be fully seen.

16. Emotional Fluency for the Reluctantly Sensitive

  • Because it’s true. You are sensitive.

  • It’s not that you don’t feel deeply

=> It’s that you don’t pause long enough to process what those feelings mean.

  • You can control analysis — you can’t always control sadness, shame, or vulnerability

  • You can not ignore emotions => You are not bored, You’re emotionally clogged.

=> Allowing yourself to feel discomfort without immediately fixing it

  1. Pause the analysis, name the feeling.

  2. Use metaphors, not metrics.

  3. Let feeling finish its sentence.

  4. Practice emotional honesty.

=> Emotions Don’t Make You Less Rational — They Make You More Whole

You don’t have to choose between being sharp and being soft. You can be both.
