Do you honestly like who you are. think about how you treat yourself, and the people around you. Do you like the person you have become.
Speaking of lucidity, this is incoherent to me. How does having a lucid sense of self relate to not being static? In fact, if you believe you're so dynamic and inconsistent to the point where you can't even say whether or not you like yourself, it sounds like your sense of self has no lucidity at all.The classic ENTP duality is that there is always a lucid sense of self. For that reason, I guess I can't say I really like who I am, because who I am is not static.
My bad. I thought lucid meant the exact opposite of what it actually means. Thanks for pointing it out. I'll edit.Speaking of lucidity, this is incoherent to me.

Go procreate with yourself!Let's just say that, if there were some way for me to legally marry myself and then procreate, I'd be on it in a heartbeat.
The various mental images I got after reading that was fascinating.Go procreate with yourself!
No, seriously, I believe I speak for the group when I say that we would all like to see that. Even the women.
Are you sure you are ENTP?The classic ENTP duality is that there is always a fluid sense of self. For that reason, I guess I can't say I really like who I am, because who I am is not static. One thing that I am sure of is that I am happiest when I can loose myself in my passions. When I find something that "takes me out of my head" for a bit, I find myself most fulfilled.
When I am dissatisfied with my performance or I am having multiple simultaneous failed attempts at something, I crash hard. We ENTPs are on a constant optimism high, and when we are forced out of that world i think we get tunnel vision on the negative. It is a vicious cycle.
Get knocked off your pedestal > cry and have someone kiss your booboo > let the booboo heal > drum up the courage to climb the pedestal again > get knocked off your pedestal
I don't know about the other ENTPs here, but when I've been floored I tend to get very defensive, too. Like any earthbound mammal, I get very aggressive when I'm backed into a corner. I tend to project my own shortcomings onto other people and become very critical of people who disappoint me.
And yet... there's something almost surreal about all of those messy emotions. There's something that makes you feel human. I can honestly say that in a way, I rejoice in despair and see the beauty of disaster.
