ENTP Your Red Sun

**Quin Sabe** · 02-18-2010 05:06 PM

Ok, we all know we're supermen/women here. So I'm I wondering if there's a personality type, place or situation that you seemed to lose your ENTP powers; like superman under a red sun.

For me its being at home, and around my parents. My dads a ISTJ, hes not too bad about it; my mom I think is ISFJ and she especially seems to drain me. When I'm around them I become quiet, shy, stoic, and can't seem to communicate (talk) well, it sucks. But, most of time after about 12-24 hours away from them I completely regain my entpness. And, with the advent of college the time for my entp powers to return just keeps getting shorter.

So is this just limited to me or does anyone else have a red sun problem so to speak?

Nope it's not just limited to you, my Red Sun so to speak would be being around a bunch of Js. Not that I don't like being around Js, but when I am, I tend to become very rigid, quiet and generally very focused. It's probably interpreted as being mean or cold but when I leave that environment, I "take off the blinders" and return to my scatterbrained self.

Great topic name.

Mmmm... idk

I think my red sun is when I place loyalty in the wrong person. My guard goes down when I trust someone. When I get betrayed I become the dark side of ENTJ. Cold, harsh, forbidding, condescending. That's why I value it so much. I hate turning into pocket-hulk.

My Red Sun happens when I have to appease someone for the sake of things being harmonious.

This guy who thinks I'm his best friend.
My best friend's wife.

I don't want to be ANYWHERE near them. I feel like I'm being restrained, punished, etc.

Dogs.

I love my dogs, they are my babies and when I'm alone with them I cuddle and kiss and love them. If anyone were to see me doing this, they'd swear I was a much nicer twin.

And I need to hurry and make fifteen posts so that I can so that I can post on profiles/send messages. D:

My red sun would have to be when dealing with a certain type of INFP or even more rarely INTP. This stems from me trying to delve into what makes them work and for the INFP how they get along being able to run with the F function. this only happens with "I"s though. I don't see this as really loosing my ENTP but more-so me actually interpreting how they are and loosing myself in it. It's not a bad feeling, it's actually enjoyable sometimes. It allows me to see and understand more ways of seeing things. It makes for a confusing couple days after spending time with certain members of these types. I feel as is my internal F function is given a huge boost in awareness. This happen to anyone else?

Yep, it's "parents" for me, too.

Any time I'm around the people who raised me, I become docile and quiet, even uncomfortable to an extent.

Bosses, Sups, politicians, board members, cops, lawyers... I can ply my ENTP trade on all of them, show utmost confidence in myself and what I'm standing for. But next to my parents, I just feel like I'm a kid again. I can't even explain it; they're nice, open people who are very approving. But I'm just not myself around them; never have been.

Maybe it's just that... I aspire to so much; that I lose power when in contact with my "roots." It's not like I come from low station though, or am embarrassed by them, so it's still largely unexplained.
