    Did I start a fad?

    I think SLE mostly makes sense, but I can't really rule out SEE, LIE, or EIE completely.
    But, for a certainty, back then,
    We loved so many, yet hated so much,
    We hurt others and were hurt ourselves...

    Yet even then, we ran like the wind,
    Whilst our laughter echoed,
    Under cerulean skies...

    I've now met Ezra - what, 5 or 6 times? But not in the foreseeable future as I am moving away from the Manchester area.

    I've been flip-flopping between SLE and SEE. Right now I think SLE makes more sense. His reaction to receiving lots of Te is more like SLE than SEE.

    But this is not "final"

    You know something; I've never actually heard you describe Se. Ever. You say things like "they just have this feel..." or "they have a sort of intensity..." or "they're not aggressive... they just watch". Give a proper, functional description of Se, like the one in the wiki, or in socioscope, Filatova, Strati, Lytov or socioniko. Alternatively, list concepts of Se as Rick has done. You realise no one listens to you when you say "x is not the case". People automatically associate that with Phaedrus. And, these days, who the fuck is Phaedrus?

    Nick is incapable of qualifying his thoughts or observations in a coherent manner. Let him alone.

    Bad Ti.

    How about this for a suggestion: Nick is SEE. Ti PoLR, as you've described, and talks about Se so confidently because he is Se leading. Alternatively, he is IEI, with a horrific Te PoLR (inability to see the facts, unlike glam or Starfall, who do see the facts to some extent) and poor, valued Ti.

    Finally (and most important for our purpose here) Phædrus was the anti-hero of Robert Pirsig’s Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. He was, as Pirsig says, “one person, no longer here, who had something to say, and who said it, but whom no one believed or really understood. Forgotten.”

    Nah, I think he is IEI. He is a lot like Krae, who I am pretty confident is IEI as well.

    Yeah, that's a point, Phaedrus. Why aren't you called Phædrus?

    He's Ni-INFp. He understands ideas in an Ni context, the most abstract function, then tries to understand and communicates them using Ti. So I would imagine that explaining to someone the inner structure and logical relationships within an abstract, internal concept of an already abstract and complicated theory would be a bit difficult.

    Jesus Christ, give him a break. If you try to understand him, eventually he'll make sense to you.

    I didn't say you weren't, I personally think you're SLE too.

    It just annoys me when people mock someone else's understanding of something because of communication differences.

    All I can say is that if people want others to understand them better, they're going to have to explain things that actually happened in the physical, concrete reality and then their reactions/perceptions to those events and what it meant to them. Anything else and you are just talking out of your ass and nobody can relate to you as a human being.

    Maybe you feel some details are too personal to share and that you are just here to exchange ideas, but I don't think your ideas can be validated unless you use specific details. It's the rule in creative writing, and it's the rule in life.

    We can only get the picture as well as you yourself paint that picture.

    B&D, your posts are obviously very different to others' posts that I appreciate, but I've been noticing they are always filled with a good deal of common sense and humanity

    Let me explain, just for you, what is going down in my life at the moment.

    I am just not thinking about the wider issues in my life. When they come to me; when I attempt to break them down and analyse them, I get immediately depressive and feel an impending sense of doom concerning the claustrophobia of life. I suddenly thing "there is no point to life - there is no 'wider idea' or 'bigger issue'; it's just me and the world". This pains me, immensely, thinking that there are no horizons to venture across. I live a life of force and focus on worldly affairs, so when abstractions come along, I am completely demoralised because I simply cannot handle them at all. Don't get me wrong; I absolutely love thinking about global issues and what I'll do for a career and where I'll go in life. What I can't take is the idea that there is something that's missing from my life; that my life is not being lived it it's full potential. Having to deal with these sentiments kills me.

    Do you know what I fucking hate? Kids who talk or walk into the cinema mid-way through a film. The first lot was in The Happening (bad film), and I walked down to their row and just stared at them until they noticed me, then waited five seconds, then went back to my seat. The second lot didn't notice me, but that was during Speed Racer (worse film), so it wasn't too bad. But destroying the experience still gets to me immensely. Bastards. It's good though; I enjoy the rush of potential combat; the unknown of what may happen. I like the feeling that I'm not in control of the situation in a way. Rapid heartbeat and a bit of sweating; it's potential danger situation, but throwing yourself in is kind of fun. It's a nice challenge to undertake. Most of the time in those situations, I know shit is not going to hit the fan. When I do know shit is going to hit the fan is when I'm in the street, and two kids offer me a bag of dried mixed herbs they try to pass off as a bag of green. When I refuse, and they start talking to me. Shit can get heavy from there. When they start sizing me up and looking for a fight. In that situation, the thing to do is NOT to make more conflict arise; it's to defuse the situation. You use calm, "respectful" language, and let the shit defuse itself. Say you're not looking for a fight, and look them directly in the eyes so they know you're not fucking, and then avoid them, by walking quickly away. You're not a pussy if you obey their "commands" e.g. "WALK QUICKER, NOW!" But take the bait, and you'll end up weaker as a person. They're not worth bothering with.

    The diffuse situation part?

    I agree with.

    I know that shit never hits the fan here in this forums.
    She is wise
    beyond words
    beautiful within
    her soul
    brighter than
    the sun
    lovelier than
    love
    dreams larger
    than life
    and does not
    understand the
    meaning of no.
    Because everything

    We hurt others and were hurt ourselves...

You realise no one listens to you when you say "x is not the case". People automatically associate that with Phaedrus. And, these days, who the fuck is Phaedrus?
    I owe you no justification whatsoever. My understanding of the functions is highly Ni, meaning I typically think of them symbolically with images. Nonetheless, I know functions when I see them. Just because I don't explain things in nice, little concrete terms for your insular ESTj brain doesn't mean I don't understand it So, before you decide to throw a little counter-phobic temper tantrum and attempt to be confrontational with me (an actual Se valuer), stick the british cock that you so love back in your mouth and think your shit over, ******.

    He likes to try to "emotionally damage" people, like Gilly does.

    And no matter how much he doesn't understand something, yes, he sees it quite fitting for him to go around and yell and bitch and whine and talk big about what he thinks.

    I'm not sure if it is quite the same way as Gilly does, but Gilly often tries to present people as "social outcasts" or "uncool" when he's angry or agitated or feeling threatened (which could point to Beta). Ezra did it here, but I don't know if that's his usual MO.
    Posts I wrote in the past contain less nuance.
    If you're in this forum to learn something, be careful. Lots of misplaced toxicity.

    I am so fucking exactly like that as well. I did that today and I brought some real bad unexpected shit on myself. I was blamed for being rude, cruel, overly sarcastic, overly critical for no reason, judgmental, hurtful, wanting (and enjoying) to purposefully hurt others and what not...

    This is the process which I believe occurs. My Ni is very honed, which allows me to conceptualize things, typically visually, fairly easily and naturally. My Ti, while strongly valued, is more general and broadly focused. So...when I have an Ni understanding of something and am attempting to explain it, and the Ti articulation hasn't been brought into focus enough, it will seem convoluted/vague/etc. Am I making an excuse? hell no. making an excuse implies that you CARE about compensating for a behavior. As far as I'm concerned, if you can't understand me, then fuck you, you're stupid. There are a good number of people - both Ni-valuing and not - who can understand what I say and where I'm coming from. It's typically the insipid reification artists who suck at translating my metaphors into understanding. So fuck off lol

    I think both of their insecurities are just touched on when someone disagrees with them, so they over-compensate with bitchy rants that only detriment the content of the argument.

    Good luck with that - just don't expect anyone to take you seriously.

    Wow, we agree for once

    I dunno, I know Nick understands the functions to some degree, but he's very bad at explaining them; it requires a lot of patience to make sense of what he's saying in terms of functions sometimes.

    It doesn't help that he almost categorically rejects common theories about what functions really are.

    don't expect people to take you seriously when you tell them they're Fi because they have personal sentiments or Se because they are aggressive

    Actually, the vague explanation wouldn't bother me so much without the "I AM AN ALL-KNOWING SOCIONICS GOD" attitude that goes with it. Sometimes Nick can be very lucid.
