Each of the Artisan personality types processes breakups a little differently – but there are undeniable similarities in the ways that ESTPs, ISTPs, ESFPs and ISFPs all grieve when they’re brokenhearted.

“I literally work it out of my system.”

“I have a very complicated two-step-process.”

“Get angry in order to fully complete Kubler-Ross’ stages of grieving (DABDA). I think that’s one of the things INFJs couldn’t make themselves do.”

“My advice to other INTJs: Be as intentional with your heart as you are with your brain.”

“Take pride in being a good girlfriend or boyfriend but an even better ex.”

“I’m terrible at recognizing my own emotions, so I have to talk to myself like a child and label how I feel rather than rationalize it all away.”

Each type needs something a little different when it comes to preparing for the school year! Find the item your type direly needs below – you’ll spend the entire school year thanking yourself for the investment.

“Go all in with the sadness like you went all in with the love.”

“I decide I love being single because life is way more efficient without dependents or co-pilots.”

“I remind myself that life is just experience and it’s only my perception that makes it a good or bad experience. And then I try to convince myself that this was a good experience.”

You are not the story you used to tell yourself.

It only counts if you can stare down the shittiest, most despicable parts of yourself and go, ‘Okay. I am going to own these things. I am going to accept that they’re a part of me.’

I don’t want the kind of love that’s so encompassing you forget how to exist outside of it.

Luckily, creating the illusion that you have your life together is now easier than ever.

Guards are there to keep people out because the person behind them isn’t done healing yet. Because they are not done working on themselves. Because they are not ready to dole out love in a healthy and genuine way.

You no longer identify as ‘guarded.’
