I know i am an extraverted intuitive for sure and i have a weakness for Fe.I thought i was ENTP all along but recently i am starting to challenge that.First of all i have something like social anxiety,Where i start focusing on my body if i am feeling anxious.I focus on a part of my body or an outward detail(For example i tend to focus on someone's eyes , having trouble concentrating and making the other person feel threatened and i can't do anything to stop it except look away.and then i can't talk to that person because i know i am going to make him uneasy .)
I don't know if this is inferior Si or Fe.
I had what i perceive them to be inferior Fe episodes in the past (like feeling paranoid ,and too emotional and angry because someone didn't give me the attention i wanted.Also the part where i felt insulted when there was no insult at me )but i dont havethem anymore.
Anyway, as a person i am somehow introverted socially(don't know if that's because of introversion of SA)
Although i am pretty outgoing , i don't like talking to people , but i like searching for new posibilities in the environment ,and when i have new interesting stuff going on then i go into Ne overdrive and i become extroverted.But if nothing interesting is going on around me , i dont get energized from people (my friends for example) but drained and bored from them , (except if i drink coffee) and i desire to be alone.(My friends are sensors)

I don't know if i am intp or entp , for you that want to help me decide,if you need any other information tell.

Quite a bit more information would be helpful. There's some fill-out doodads stickied at the top of the What's my Personality Type forum. Filling out one of those would be pretty helpful. From what you're saying though, it sounds like you think you're an introvert.

Well I think one thing is clear you are definitely Ne and get energy and stimulation from new interesting ideas. I would expect primary Ne and tertiary Fe to have a bit more of a connection and drive for socialization in an ENTP. The social anxiety and the Si focus on a specific body part sounds like Si could possibly be tertiary. What you described about Fe also sounds very much like it could be inferior. For an Fe user... the internal feelings are still there but they need to be externalized to be fully processed and dealt with. That can pose a significant issue for an introvert... especially one with inferior Fe... otherwise they tend to build and boil over. Try extroverting your feelings in a non-social way such as journaling. It may help in processing through them.

Anyway, I would lean more towards INTP from the information you gave here.

The eternal inferior Si / dominant Ne struggle. All of this points toward ENTP and none of it points towards introversion, so I don't know what the dilemma here is.
