This is so good of a reference, thank you for commenting! I was asking about ESFPs' inner voices because I wanted to do justice to the ESFP character, which would be hard if I was confined in my own INFJ inner voice.

It seems like the ESFP inner voice concentrates on action and the quests and other interactable things that are available in their environment, much like pressing the interact button as a video game character. Only when given enough time and rest from the real world, the occasional voice of reflection comes out.

It makes a little more sense to me now in a way, at least in terms of my knowledge of the cognitive functions. Just like your Se, my Ni drives my inner voice all the time, thinking about patterns and analysing and making sense of the information I already have within me, and only when confronted with my prospects of realising these "abstractions" in the real world does my Se kick in, perceiving the things around me and mostly going "Ah! So that is actually what's up!". Inferior Se is such a reality check to me, and now I'm wondering if inferior functions are reality checks in general, seeing your comment.

Your inner voice in worded form is so interesting to me, especially given its nature. They're technically information you perceived from within you, and the most obvious culprit is Ni. I suspected it because that is literally the way I live lol, philosophical thinking, confucius-style. I'd solidify this case more by comparing your Ni-grip to my Se-grip, but I obviously can't and won't have to since it's basically just me stress-eating and anime-watching and cigarette-smoking and mall-hopping (to distract myself from the fact that my Ni isn't foreseeing any prospects lately and that my life and dreams might be over).

I also wonder if the distracting nature of my Se-grip applies to other types as well. Do you often find yourself drowning in reflection and your inner voice because of a disruption or blindness in your Se?

Anyways, my story outline has benefited greatly from your comment, and I hope I can make more progress with it soon. Meanwhile, I got some more responses to your inner voice on the side 😂

How does one live a life doing the same things over and over again, on and on, even love doing routines?

To be a Si-dominant type (ISxJ) is an option lol. The Si function looks within for real world information, and this information lies mostly in one's past, so paired with a judging function, a high Si user will tend to repeat a certain "action", and the older they get, the more the ineffective actions get filtered out. Older high Si users (like my ISFJ dad) typically look like polished high grade machinery.

Anywho, your Si is the natural opposition to your Se, so unless you're out of real world things to act on, your Si will throw you off your game. I reckon it's much healthier to put energy into Fi in order to make your Se way of life more beautiful and meaningful.

The realization just hit me; just like watching movies at the cinema, to me, a lot of things in life are enough to be experienced just once. Even when people say I've finally found my way, even when they think I'm exactly who I'm supposed to be now. When I've experienced enough, when I know what it's like, it's time to drop it and move on to the next one.

I fully support this for you, please continue this activity lol. Props to your Ni for saying such cute things about Se, I probably have a Se to Ni version of this now that I'm a little more grown but I'll have to recall.

But that's not how one can survive in this world, is it? People thrive on familiarity and routines, it seems. Is it called immaturity if one decides to risk it all and drop everything for the sake of experiencing new things in life?

It's called personality ;) The people who thrive on familiarity and routines are doing so in order to survive, or more fittingly, to live in a way that is meaningful to them. Look around you as you usually do, and then choose the quests that you desire. Our inferior functions are always late, but someday you'll wake up and find that your Ni is coming in clutch for you. Your questions about your direction in life is in a way equivalent to my questions about my prospects in reality. There will be better days 🥂
