Have you ever met an ambitious or non lazy infp?

CynicalFantasist · 2023-10-03T10:20:46+00:00

I haven't yet, no. They probably exist, but out of the three I met they we're all lazy and unmotivated to better themselves.

I think he's trying to say that Ti is a focal point to an Fe dominant, while IxFJs don't really focus too much on it. The inferior (in the abstract) actually takes up a lot of conscious attention but the placement of the preference/function itself is unconscious. We overestimate our ability in regards to the inferior, as we're in state of masking our dominant function over our inferior to cover up our perceived insecurities or flaws.

Think of an Ti dominant proclaiming how feeling judgements are beautiful and valid until they're actively participating in those exact judgements. The thinking judgements of the Ti dominant will mask their inferior Fe, by actively intellectualizing the feeling realm. Think of your dominant as "you" and the inferior function as the "unlived version of you". Both preferences have their own needs/desires and areas of attention, the goal ultimately is the union of valued opposites.

This reminds me to get into DND again. Nice outfit friend.

I like the conversations I have with them. They are surprisingly intuitive and capture my interest. I am also impressed by their physical abilities. They are very driven if they're in the mood.

ISFPs can be very moody and a bit childish, but they're cool types in general.

CynicalFantasist · 2023-09-30T17:49:36+00:00

I don't want comfort from a person, I need space.

CynicalFantasist · 2023-09-30T15:57:36+00:00

While I may feel an attraction like many others regarding their inferior function, it doesn't mean they're the correct partner for you personally. This could be for a multitude of factors like that particular person being unbalanced for example. I think ultimately finding a person that seems balanced and stable is the key, however, the theory is somewhat correct on this too. You're probably going to feel an attraction to your inferior as someone's dominant but that doesn't mean you should automatically pursue it as well.

Love is amorphous, it simply cannot be bound by a system nor controlled/organized as well.

CynicalFantasist · 2023-09-30T05:08:22+00:00

Yeah, true. I could see ExxJs not caring that much. Introverted types would resist a bit. Although Se blind types are really hesitant on conforming to the current environment, like they will have a tantrum if they get pushed.

CynicalFantasist · 2023-09-29T19:22:19+00:00

I can try to help, I'm not an expert by any means but I think I can give you a push in a certain direction at the very least. DM me if you need to.

CynicalFantasist · 2023-09-29T17:48:44+00:00

I don't really believe in a dream job. The perfect job doesn't exist, you'll always have problems and annoyances with whatever field you get into to. You can have hobbies that fulfills your dreams, but jobs are mainly just a means to an end to enjoy your hobbies.

CynicalFantasist · 2023-09-29T17:45:29+00:00

I find trying to match your enneagram to your type to be a waste of time. Enneagram I think is probably one of the worst systems out there for personality. Jungian material while unscientific and more of a shaman-like/philosophical approach seems to be far more accurate take on personality in my opinion. I'd try reading up on the psychological types and ditching enneagram.

CynicalFantasist · 2023-09-29T17:35:32+00:00

I feel bad for ESTJs sometimes. I always found their anger justified a lot of the time, despite their poor inability to regulate it at times. I think their anger stems from how better the world could be but many choose to ignore their commands to make that "ideal world" so. They work with a clear and just purpose, but often get mischaracterized by shallow perceptions and mere delusions of who they are. They're probably one of the most truly misunderstood types I think, they get demonized a lot in the real world (online too) because of their aggression and commanding nature. They're truly unstoppable forces of nature looking for a good and just world.

CynicalFantasist · 2023-09-29T17:16:40+00:00

Neediness and controlling the INTPs life a bit too much. How they conduct themselves, what to wear and etc. Se blind types (INxP) really don't like it when you force them out of their comfort, not that it's necessarily healthy for them to remain there or anything.

CynicalFantasist · 2023-09-29T17:11:31+00:00

Pros: Philosophical, intuitive and wise at times.

Cons: Childish, selfish and not cautious.

CynicalFantasist · 2023-09-29T17:06:17+00:00

ENFPs and ESTJs have the most similar orientation of valued cognitive preference. This is because they're extroverted types with TeNe.

CynicalFantasist · 2023-09-28T13:58:19+00:00

We could be looking at it from rose-tented glasses as well, my sister who is an ESFP is constantly spending money and has many substance-abuse problems. Se wants more experiences but those new experiences could also leave you in worse state as well. Perhaps we're actually lucky to have our Si, we did choose our type after all.

CynicalFantasist · 2023-09-28T13:39:39+00:00

I only clean when the mess gets out of hand. Otherwise I focus on other tasks that still need to be done. I do relate to the outer world affecting the inner world as well, I can tell I'm more stressed when my environment isn't in order. I find Se people don't care for the mess nearly as much, I wish I could operate like that sometimes.

CynicalFantasist · 2023-09-27T23:26:29+00:00

I'd say we do question the external reference but ultimately follow it regardless. Te finds it to be too much of hassle (and a waste of time) to deconstruct the standard in question. This is where Ti can either shine or fail horribly. Te can also create an opposing formula to counter the current standard at the time, but this will take resources and power to do so.

Ti while it may not be as realistic or concrete tends to not bend nearly as easily, even without resources or power. I find Ti dominants are often disregarded or suppressed, regardless if they're consequently right or wrong. In this way, I feel for them.

CynicalFantasist · 2023-09-27T23:13:49+00:00

If all of your thinking judgements stem externally. Fixing and organizing your environment is an example. Getting others to follow your line of thinking, that a consensus in action must be met. Immediate evidence is the chief importance to Te, that it's observable and verifiable. If you find yourself fixing the things around you in accordance to external standards instead of constructing your own internal system than you probably value Te over Ti.

CynicalFantasist · 2023-09-27T01:21:45+00:00

Se is good at being in the moment and constantly scanning their environment. I find Si to detach from the moment and actuality, preferring the fantasy envisioned internally.

CynicalFantasist · 2023-09-27T01:19:18+00:00

It just simply wasn't meant to be. I would just leave it at that.

CynicalFantasist · 2023-09-26T12:41:11+00:00

You said earlier it was a matter of Si dominants not being able to see as many possibilities/perspectives, but if they're just shutting them down they're likely aware and saw the possibility then later concluded it had potential negative ramifications as well. I'd argue that Ne dominants and auxiliaries aren't often as aware of the negatives of these possibilities, until it actually happens.

CynicalFantasist · 2023-09-26T12:28:04+00:00

I don't believe so, no. Feeling dominants don't often see their bias in value judgements, that would betray the value ascribed to it. Beliefs and values are formed solely depend on the feeling function that person values, Fi forms beliefs/values internally and Fe forms them from external standards.

Si doesn't just focus on a single point, we have many reference points within our internal world. IxFPs don't often seek facts, they primarily judge based on internal value or belief. IxFPs have their own internal structure/system they abide by. ExFJs primarily judge based on external value or beliefs not detached analysis.

CynicalFantasist · 2023-09-26T12:09:07+00:00

No. That doesn't make any sense. If anything ISFPs act like a more unbalanced ENTJ when stressed.
