This is the nature of Ne and other external functions (denoted by the lowercase “e”) - they need interaction with the world to function optimally. This is a double-edged sword, as the outside world can also be highly distracting. Because of this, they tend to need alternating stages of input and output.
When evaluating job offers, take into account your preferences for extroversion (E) and perceiving (P). Since you get energy from outside sources, look for a work environment where you can surround yourself with people. Don't forget your preference for perceiving, which means you enjoy flexibility and spontaneity. Look for jobs that don't emphasize strict deadlines.

Control
Many of us are stressed from obsessively trying to control what we can't control, while ignoring what we can. We are exhausted from living like a person who demands sunshine, while neglecting to bring an umbrella.
This is more common than you think.
There are many things we con't control such as the weather, the stock market, and most importantly, other people, but we do have the ability to control our attitudes, beliefs, choices, expectations, and behaviours. So, when facing any difficult situation remember to ask yourself: "What can I control, and what can't I control?"
It might help to write your answers down on a piece of paper with 2 columns, one for the things you cannot control, and the other for the things you can control. Then try to focus your energies on what you can control. This how we transform powerlessness into empowerment by focusing on what we can control.
Responsibility
Many people are stressed out from trying to fix the problems of others, for which they are not responsible, while ignoring their own self-care.
So, what am I actually responsible for?
I am responsible for myself; I am not responsible for others.
Does this mean I do not care about others. Of course not. It simply means I give others the respect of being responsible for their lives, and I give myself that same respect of being responsible for my life.
The difference between mature and immature decisions is whether or not one considers long-term consequences.
So, if you're struggling with a decision where part of your brain is telling you to do one thing and another part is telling you to do another, here is what you can do.
Write down each option and list the likely long-term consequence of each. Then choose the option that truly represents your true long-term best interests.
You must try to be honest with yourself or you can ask a trusted friend to help you see the bigger picture.
When Someone Cheats or Mistreats You, It’s About Them, Not You
I can now see my value just is, it’s innate. We are all born worthy—worthy of love and good enough. Even if no one in the world can see it, it’s the truth. I am enough exactly as I am. I don’t need to be anything other than who I am. I have nothing to prove to anyone anymore.
I’ve realized that I am more than loveable. When someone doesn’t or can’t treat me the way I want and deserve to be treated, it’s not a reflection of me.
I’ve learned that it’s my job to put my best interests at heart and love myself enough to walk away from anything that doesn’t serve me or build me up.
We humans move toward things we like and away from things we don't like with our feeling playing a major role in what guides us.
We tend to think of feelings that guide us toward pleasure as "good" and those that guide us away from pain as "bad", but even "bad" feelings can be helpful.
Here is the really big question: What turns helpful feelings into unhelpful feelings?
Understanding this process is a key skill for emotional intelligence.
It's our own thinking.
If you want to change the way you feel, you must learn to change the stories you tell yourself, which is the essence of cognitive behavioural therapy.
