Okay, now let's hear today's question.

Hey guys, my name is William and I live in Harrisburg area, Pennsylvania.

I've been following your content for a while now and thanks to you guys, I went from

believing my mistype of ISFJ to my discovery of my ENTP preferences.

So here's my question.

I've realized that I have difficulty fully exploring my extroverted intuition function

because of traumas living in my backseat functions.

When I think someone I respect is disappointed in me, especially if it's because me and

my NETI bliss misses a super important SI detail.

I've fallen to a super unhealthy pattern of either wild depression or self-deprecation.

This both stops me dead in my tracks and also temporarily makes me hesitant to continue

optimism, having fun and messing with my environment.

While I'm not going to trouble you with the source of this trauma, I would like to know

if you have any tips on just letting yourself be you without letting backseat function

trauma get in the way of your happiness.
