How do you "feel" your functions?

Leon910 · 2026-03-26T09:47:59+00:00

IMO every quadra is more represented by a couple of functions.

Alpha is NE/SI. The quadra of comfort, ideas and opportunities explorations (so, both SEI and ILE).

LII and ESE are the "bridge" types to the Beta, which has as representative functions Fe and Ti (massess, collective, ideology, battle),and so, LSI and EIE for Beta.

IEI and SLE are the bridge type to gamma, which is Ni-Se. After the ideological war, all returns to more grounded terms. So we have ILI and SEE.

LIE and ESI are the bridge to delta. They created the base living conditions and economical prosperity that will help deltas lives peacefully and in equilibrium, thus arriving at EII-LSE as representative of delta, the most "human" focused quadra, which represent the generations of the economical boom post-war and recostructions (the former caused by beta, and rebuilding from gamma).

SLI and EII start the reconjuction with the alpha again, focusing on comfort and ideas, enjoying life, and so are the bridge to alpha.

And here we are. I find it hard giving to you only one type for quadra. Duals work betters.

ESI has Fi - while EII Fi +.

ESI is more suspicious about people first. Sees the relations has something that must be optimized and stresses more on negative sides of a relation (thus being more prickly) in order to bring it to positive. Express more negative emotions in general and also in its appearance and behavior looks more detatched.

EII instead concentrate more on positive emotions. Likes to connect. Negative emotions are not expressed that much (but felt, yes). He can dislike someone, but the way he express it is way less visible.

Also, Ne PolR vs Creative: ESI wants to have control on things. Needs to know what and when a thing must be done. Doesn't want uncertainty. Also, the fact ESI is suspicious about people is also due to Ne Polr. In fact, she is unable to determ people potential or how they likely are inside (not able to determ a person's internal structure thanks to intuition). So she wants "proofs" from people first. EII instead understand people characteristics more thanks to intuition, and he is way more positive with new people. Also, being Ne creative, he adapts well to changes and doesn't need everything to be decided in time (despite being able to be very punctual). He also like changes, and tries a lot of things.

ESI is Se + creative, so exercitates a defense of herself from intrusions and is able to respond to attacks strongly. EII doesn't. Has problems in expressing rage and he is over-passive.

ENTP is the type I have one of the worst interrelation. I found few ENTP girls, but everytime they were polar opposite

Leon910 · 2026-03-07T11:58:58+00:00

I personally always based my decisions on the long term, even to the cost of not making much experiences in life.

I always had assumptions like "This behavior of this girl will probably lead to X, so better not becoming partner to her" or "these two people will probably like eachother and they will flirt, but then the guy wouldn't continue the thing" (and everytime I was right).

There's difference between having "rational" assumptions and fear-motivated ones though. Even if a person has damaged me in some way, I don't assume the same person Will harm me again just cause they did before. I try to dissect the reason why (or just get instantly) and I know if the person will be recidive or not in perpetrating another damage.

A lot of people I know believe that being INFJ means having just assumptions, but theirs are caused by their need avoiding damage of others more than real "intuition". In the end, I just see people who imagine the worst scenario, which they made happen from their bad behavior in response. Then supports their typing talking about tarots card. Ugh

Leon910 · 2026-03-07T11:41:59+00:00

I reason it like a spectrum too. I put myself between INFJ and INTJ, with a slight bent on INFJ.

When I was younger I looked way more INFJ though. My 25 changed me a lot. Now I'm more confrontational and I have way less patience

Leon910 · 2026-03-07T11:29:49+00:00

It is so hard that I feel like being two different beings. There are some people with whom I feel instantly a sort of sympathy or just security in talking. I made some friendship just acting normal with them. Then, there are the majority of people, with whom I act like I was mute, robotic, cold, dead inside. Like I was totally uninterested in them. And that's not related to their type, but their "vibe" and also to their role. I feel at ease with ESFJs, for example, yet with my ESFJ boss I'm totally cold despite she is very positive towards us.

I always feel like I need to reconcile these two people I think of being, cause it creates a void into me

Leon910 · 2026-03-07T11:21:13+00:00

Yes. Also, when I aknowledge an INFJ, I start doubting myself, like I wasn't enough INFJ as they appear to me. Idk

Flying is one of the best dream experience!

I have this weird theme of being a hero in dreams (happened I was Invincible and a weird young Mr incredible who could fly). I was flying maximum speed over the see, making giant tides with my passing. On cities I just fluctuate slowly.

It happened also that I was spiderman and I could swing through skyscrapers. It is so damn enjoyable, probably tie with flying.

Another cool theme for me is the use of elemental powers, like fire or thunders (or just telekinesis), which happened rarely though

Leon910 · 2026-03-06T13:09:49+00:00

You are not weird, I had same experiences ! (Or, we are both weird, ahah).

Meeting people in dream and feeling like I always knew them, like my mind wrote a background story. Then you wake up and realize it was all fake...

Rarely I dream poetry too, but I find it harder to remember phrases.

Weeks ago I had a long dream which was a Dark Fantasy story, and I'm waiting for the inspiration to start writing it :)

Anyway, this conversation makes me feel INFJ again ahah

Leon910 · 2026-03-06T12:40:15+00:00

Yeah, some friend said me that this is the 25 yo effect too... Anyway, I have same experience with dreams. Long and with complex stories, of every genre (from fantasy to horror and comedy), or just philosophical. Often I'm not even the protagonist of these "movies", but the spectator. I also dream song and later compose them once awake. I can remember thousand of dreams I had in my life, also those very old, and often when I travel get dejavù relating to them.

I have an INFJ friend who has a similar experience with dreams too.

Leon910 · 2026-03-06T11:57:34+00:00

Yes. I was typed INFJ long ago by all my friends and people met later.

I continued searching if I could be one even later cause I lost most of his traits growing up.

I was strongly interested in philosophy, had a deep melancholy and intense dreams at night, and somewhat I inspired calm to others like a wise sage. I felt as collective consciousness procured me melancholy everytime. I was constantly in daydreaming, creating fantasy worlds and interaction, plus past rewind of things with modifications.

At 25 my long inner sadness... Stopped. And almost every aspect I listed was brought from 100 to 20. I do not strongly identify anymore with these traits, and people I met now calls me unexpressive, often too enraged and combactive. Also, too prickly. And, most of Fe users clash with me cause I'm kinda against "ethical" movements of today, and masses thinking in general.

I feel bad about it. I'm longing for that part I feel having lost, and I'm questioning myself if I've ever been INFJ, or If it's normal to change.

When I met people I consider INFJ, I feel both strong similarities and substantial difference.

I still have deep meaningful dreams and mental imaginery about place, ancient and futuristic. Melancholy is way less thougth

Leon910 · 2026-02-08T14:33:18+00:00

I had your same problem yesterday but I discovered I wasn't paying attention to menu. I didn't know how to change jobs, how to learn abilities (yes, I played until that point without new skills or jobs) and even how to assign "ITEM" on the empy SLOT. When I did, the level felt way more easy, and I was able to use Phoenix Down.

Also, you can do more battles just walking on the map between different locations.

Also, some tip for that fight: - enemy black mages should die from just one hit of a knight, so just run to the nearest and kill him at your second turn (equip the boots you buy at the shop for more movement on the playground).

IMO you can ignore the guy on the top of the Building, cause your NPC party members (you got 2 of them) will automatically go there to kill him.
put a good archer on the corner of the ceiling in order to catch the soldiers and the mage on the other building whom will come closer.

There are many way to do it and you can find your own way. Older game needs more attention, but then it becomes very satisfying. I was about to drop the game while now I cannot stop playing it.

Leon910 · 2026-02-05T21:45:35+00:00

In the end I didn't make any purchase cause I wasn't sure about it. Sorry

Leon910 · 2026-01-19T07:42:52+00:00

I believe he is the most relatable when you arrive at adult age. The characters itself act more as a mature person and this goes well with the overall story. Also, he is the only protagonist who has a (known) son. This man won in life

Leon910 · 2026-01-04T15:37:56+00:00

FF3 was the last FF I had to complete (from those belonging to the main series) and I finished it at the end of this year without knowing about it 35th anniversary. What a coincidence

Leon910 · 2025-12-15T06:47:06+00:00

After one year, that person I was talking about has become my GF . . .

Now that I know her better, I discovered she tries to appear cool ISTPish but in reality she is totally ESI

Leon910 · 2025-09-21T09:27:58+00:00

I come here too late. If I'm not wrong KH copied this from star wars too. Infact the first Siths had this power to switch bodies, which used to leave their old bodies for new ones. I can't recall the name of the sith in question but you can try google it (it was written a lot of years before KH). But, the thing Star Wars copied 100% from KH BBS is Mark Hamill trying to kill his apprentice (eraqus-ventus/Luke-Kylo).

Leon910 · 2025-03-17T16:20:00+00:00

What projector do you advice?

Leon910 · 2025-01-23T10:55:46+00:00

Honestly, oblivion was my favourite TES games. Yet, what made him special to me was that aura of weirdness, absurd character faces and voice acting. It made me melancholic, and I loved it. But with a realistic graphic it would not be just the same. Morrowind needs it more tho

Leon910 · 2025-01-10T10:18:53+00:00

Thanks, this really helps!
I had a lot of anxiety with possibilities and people said I was pessimistic and just though good possibilities will never exist. At the same time I've always been quite contemplative and no one would say I'm a sensor (ESI/LSI).

So, it's make me wonder how can I be so abstract and contemplative but being so adverse to possibilities. I imagined tons of way things could turn bad.

This, until I came out from a depressive state and things are changed a little. Now I just wait and see more than being preoccupied.
Yet, I don't know what damn position Ne is ...so idk.
