Going back to the part in your post that I bolded above, I have to say that yes, I have known ENFP's to have exactly that mindset as well, but they tend to be more covert about it - perhaps in denial about it to themselves, even. It's harder to detect it in ENFP's because whilst the ENTP is fairly obvious and up front about "this is my point and I'm right, just admit it", the ENFP's "point" isn't always an intellectual or verbal one, but a more subtle, personal one, that might not be easily recognized as a point at all, amongst all the empathy and stuff.

2 excerpts that I found particularly interesting from you.
I am so the complete opposite of that I roll over and play dead and concede EVERY time, never am I consistent except to say that i will always stop first and I will always let you (which ever opponent) railroad yourself over me. I will always admit to be wrong, even if I am not and I will always apologize, I will as a matter of fact do anything to return peace even at my expense. It's not healthy I know, but it's what I do to fit in and deal with life. *sigh*
as for the bolded part *ding ding ding* we have a winner here!
that is so me. In my mind and in my heart I have the passion for what I am trying to say and if you could just please see me you would understand what I am trying to argue but I can't put words to the emotions and I can't make you hear or see what i am trying to say. I then feel like a failure and back away from it all and go into hiding. *sigh* I am problematic at the other end of the spectrum I suppose *sigh*
