I've noticed a few things while here in various forms of typism and for the most part there seems to be a lot of hate towards various Ps like INTPs, ISFPs, INFPs, ESFPs (I noticed this for a good while now) to name a few. I'm just wondering what is up with all the beefs? Actually I could have sworn before I realized I was ESFP or somewhere shortly after, that like in other sections that there was an ESFP version of the "What do you hate the most about xxxx's?" or it could be any of the others that among the most hated here. I just remember going trough a few threads seeing some of the most malicious things about other types as if whomever the type was about, were all homogeneous and exactly as described in the more common stereotypes. And a lot of what they were saying wasn't true of me so why were these people saying these things as if they were? I don't know if it's because I'm an ESFP or not, but when people think badly of me thinking they know anything about me without asking me directly or even bothering to talk to me at all, just casting judgement from afar in the safe company of many. The only difference between this and school is, it all comes from behind a screen now. All I know is I've never done anything to deserve all the hate and I know a lot of other people have to feel that way when you are generalized and them marginalized. Or am I the only one who feels this way and why? Feel free to give examples on how you feel you've been maligned. Anyone is free to contribute, there are no restrictions on any types around me.

NOTE: I only joined this forum in the late summer of this year and I have posted over 1500 posts, read many more and I've been around pretty much each section thanking people 1800+ times. I'd apparently have twice the posts and a shiny new name colour (thought I'd prefer just about any other colour I guess I'll just have to be super motivated to get to the 6000 posts point.) if I said anything in lieu of being my lazy self-conscious self and just thanking people at large who's post I agree with, who made me lol or said things way better than I could have so there's no point in adding anything, other things of that nature Maybe by spring...*sigh*. Anyhoo I'm rambling here...tired and quite buzzed at the moment, sorry, please continue...*thinks that could be considered my catchphrase*.

Everybody gets hate. Even beloved ENFPs, who I think might be the most widely liked type, are called scatterbrained and illogical. Don't get too fixated on these malicious comments; usually they come from people who are new to the Myers Brigg system. They use stereotypes because it helps them get a generelized idea of each type, gaining understanding of the most superficial level of the theory. Usually, they cast these biases aside, once they start seeing a bit of themselves in each type.

LOL @ title.

I love the P's... my brother is one, my bf... I get along with them very well. They calm me down when I'm all J-stressed. :)

I joined a month before you and this was all the posts I could manage

on another note, Idk I'm good around mostly everyone personally. I do notice when some people don't get along, not p's specifically but sometimes it just happens. Usually uncommon a little though

Thanks Coke I thought it might grab attention lol. I'm glad there have been some Js joining in so far, I was afraid they might feel excluded by the title, but I just couldn't resist the pun

I was gonna list all the ones I've noticed getting hate but there's just so many it seems everyone has a beef with someone. At first I thought Fs but then I remembered when I thought I was INTP that being in the "Things you hate about INTPs" thread and it was disturbing how much hate they get as well. I also noticed INTJs getting their fair share. So I just made it about everyone who felt excluded or maligned in any way by prejudice. I would have put this in the Rant section but I thought it would get more attention here since rants are fine but I also would like serious personal experiences without naming names or specific types of course.

Have any of you felt any hate towards you through stereotypes? I'm sure you're all familiar with them more than I am, but since I realized I was ESFP and doing the research in this thread and also looking for funny motivational posters, I was rather unhappy at the idea that I could be ever thought of in those ways: slutty, stupid, never serious, the typical ditzy blonde, etc. that I started questioning again what type I fit into the best but I finally said screw it, I know what I am and people are just gonna have to deal with the fact that stereotypes are just that and not everyone fits neatly into the same box. It seems like people who have had bad experiences with someone of certain types are the biggest offenders, as I remember a thread which I am sure existed but I'm not positive about ESFPs. I imagine those people are mostly focused on the descriptions and less on the functions, but I can't say for sure, I just know what I see. I guess I'm just too sensitive that any kind of negativity doesn't go down well with me.

Null, most days I have nothing to do and I procrastinate a whole hell of a lot around home, so it seems I have a distinct advantage lol.

I do not envy any type.
I'm not pride of my type.
I do not care if others hate my type.
I'm more than my type, I'm not interested in talking nor listening to people who can't act accordingly.

[Neon Knight]

Very well put, now for me to just remember that and act accordingly.

NOTE: Was there something wrong with the thread name or something? It seriously loses it's oomph or appeal this way
