How well do you as an ESFP handle stress? have you ever been in a crisis situation, and how'd you deal with it?

I usually let stress consume me and take over my life . I ignore my problems to the point of explosion. Smoke lots of weed. I also talk to someone, usually of the opposite sex. I can't talk to guys about my problem.

It helps a lot when I talk to a friend about my problems though. It usually gives me a chance to internalize and analyze the problem. It also helps to talk to someone who is level headed.

I have to jump in and solve the problem right away. The worst thing to do is let a problem fester. Though, it took me a lot of years to learn that lesson. I used to just avoid the entire problem and let it fester (not so much a great thing to do). Now, I just try to avoid thinking about the problem too much to save my sanity.

I'm at that learning stage. Knowing how bad it can get, I dont want to let the problem get out of hand... I'm a huge procrastinator but if i just shut down and do that one thing dilligently, it will get done.. I just hate that routine ... my P mind likes to wander different places and come back, etc.

I handle stress by doing the FUN STUFF FIRST. Get that kick, feel good, and THEN get busy to do the job. I work best when I feel ESPECIALLY good. The more compliments I get on my work I EXCEED THEIR EXPECTATIONS NExt time.

If a relationship has ended and its that kind of stress, I am eager to jump into new relationships, to laugh it off (fuck the pain away?), whatever it takes.

just have FUN!

My father is an ESFP and he knows this for a fact. When he is going through stress he watches something funny on television. When he is nervous he laughs. When someone is negative to him he does something funny to put them down in return.
