This is the last time I will mention this I promise, but this Journal assumes some prior knowledge of the topics discussed. If you are confused by the following, please take some time to review the Section overview and do your own research in the area.

Yep. There it is. It's staring right at me. I get that this caption to the left is supposed to be a humorous over exaggeration of the "ESFJ" type.. yet If I was close enough to someone (say, a family member) I could see myself doing just that. While I will go on later to explain certain... grievances I have with two of the four letters on an individual basis. when you take the time and put them together like that, It's perfect. "Hits the nail on the head" to use metaphorical terms. I am the provider, and he is me.

There is a handout we were given in class which describes the ESFJ as the "Hosts and Hostesses of the world" and more often than not this is true. I do often find myself playing the role of host even at events I am not hosting, most recent of which comes to mind is a close friends birthday party, in which I felt that I had to ensure the safety and bedding arrangements of all those present before I myself could rest. despite the fact that it was not my home, not my party. I felt it my duty to ensure everyone had a good time and got home safe.

Even as a child I was the "goodie-two-shoes" the rule follower, and I yearned for structure and organization in my life. while I have learned in recent years to much better "roll with the punches" I still have an absurd amount of structure bordering on the OCD in my life (dresshirts arranged ROYGBIV, scheduled regular events such as dinnertime or garbage day.) even this secondary version of Journals is a good example of the lengths I will go to maintain structure. Even in my post secondary studies I aim for a typical ESFJ career. that of social work.
