EIEs/ENFjs getting radiant new ideas

[Kristiina]

Seems we have something to discuss - there are a couple of possible EIEs who were typed as dominants because they get radiant new ideas very often. My question is - are we sure that's not also EIE trait?

I certainly know that, calm as I may be, I frequently get new ideas that I really want to make a reality. After a while when there's no one rooting me on, I slowly lose interest and soon I get a new idea. Sure I've had some major long-term goals and ideas, but I've had plenty more short term ideas. And I imagine I'm one of the persistent EIEs who also tries to be her own dual to get stuff done.

My theory is that the dynamic extroverted type who functions on his own impressions of the world would frequently get new impressions of things. "I realized we absolutely need to paint the walls here. It would really brighten it up!" A while later if no one else is pushing it forward, "ah, whatever." ... ... "I realized we could also brighten it up by buying a new sofa!" and if the EIE can't find the right sofa within 2 weeks, it will stay as an idea. EIE is supposed to generate ideas and to stir things up. This might make EIE seem full of ideas and very inconsistent - traits associated with dominants.

If an EIE comes telling you about his grand master plan, all excited and happy, what do you think are the chances that he's actually gonna follow through on it?

IMO pretty slim. The more people I tell the bigger the chance is that I'm actually gonna do it. I wouldn't want them to think I'm flimsy.

I've actually been getting lots of complaints from my guy friends about this. I make plans with them and say I might hang out. They take the possibility as something definite. I realized that I need to get over the fact that I'm not really comfortable with being alone with a guy. I'm scared that I might be bored to death by some or I keep wondering how its going to turn out. I also think of the most negative rather than look at it more positively.

if he suddenly called and said "okay then, tomorrow at noon, my place, lets watch a movie.", then you'd be really scared but you wouldn't have time to back out. You'd say, "sure!" and you'd go there and you'd probably have fun, especially because the event isn't your responsobility anymore. He invited you. You're just there to enjoy yourself.

That's why LSI is a person of action. When EIE says, "we might some time" then LSI asks "what are your plans for this week?".

not a good sign.
a) she thinks you're not the right person.
b) she's not sure YOU think she's the right person, so she feels safer when she doesn't assume you're gonna stick around.

since it's "ex" and you're the one feeling bitter, I assume 1. Life does indeed suck.

You understand me completely. I have an LSI friend and he does that.
