:laughing:Caraez, I feel like there are a few things that could be wrong with this. How certain are you that your friend is an ENTP, possibly that is his shadow/in-the-grip type because of thier immense stress? Maybe he is INTJ? or ISFJ? Is his unhappiness coming from stress or the over exposure to people?
So that vacation idea might work, not for the same reasons as it did for the ENTP, But for his own Introverted reasons.
Now if he is ENTP and is dealing with Fi. . . then ouch hes got some bad times ahead, Fi is the last function the ENTP naturally develops, So if he let this girl inside his defensive shell and she is just taking jabs and he things he loves her, That needs to stop.
I have been in a nasty relationship where i thought i loved this girl and she would not stop throwing me down or taking jabs at my self confidence, Anytime she could she would. And because i let her inside my shell, it hurt. . . I was miserable and am still recovering from it, We still dont talk she says its my fault because i was too headstrong and always thought i was right, i think its her fault because she was a b****, whos fault? probably both but it depends on who you ask!
Now on the other hand maybe he just needs a good friend who he can debate or theorize with. Do something like ask him. . . if he thinks black holes are 1) a star with so much gravity that not even light can escape it, thus being percived as a hole. or 2) an actual tear in space and possibly time also. If 2, where does it go? let him do the rest. Just stick with him.
Ok this post is getting too long. . .
If anything, just be there as alfreda said, he will eventually get sick of it and find the source after some introspection, If he is an ENTP he will then cut that out of his life and carry on being happy!
Keep us up to date im curious if anything we have said works!!! Good luck to you and your friend!:laughing:
